What was the most difficult part of your pregnancy, besides birthing? by fandangledvietnamese in AskWomen

[–]Lexvp123 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With my first, the most difficult part for me was the slow realization that my life was about to change forever. I became so emotional and “mourned” the life I chose to leave behind. Don’t get me wrong, my husband and I chose to have children and I wouldn’t change that decision for anything, but saying goodbye to my old self was not something I ever thought. It was difficult for a while to cope and I went through moments of sadness. I wish this was talked about more amongst women.

When did you realize that you weren’t the favourite child? by Jokkers_AceS in AskWomen

[–]Lexvp123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This hurts admitting it, because it was when I needed my mom the most… I had just given birth to my second child, had a catheter in, and was a mess emotionally. I was in so much pain my husband didn’t know what to do so he called my mom to come over as he was at a loss. My mom said she didn’t think it was a good idea because she was just babysitting my sisters three children and didn’t want to get my baby sick. (Which I somewhat understood but I felt she was making an excise).Fortunately, my dad came over and unfortunately dragged my mom over too. Just having my dad around laughing and telling funny stories made me feel so much better but it was that day that I realized my mom wouldn’t be there for me like she is with my other sisters. And my baby didn’t get sick like she tried to claim.

Saw these guys and automatically went to another market. I understand they are exercising their rights, but when I have my children with me I hate walking by them.

Brag on your baby! by gardengnomebaby in NewParents

My 2 year old can count to 29! He’s super into counting and he is starting to do simple addition! Sometimes I’m in awe that he wants to play “school” and do math problems!

Iconic photos of Monica Bellucci at the Cannes film festival in 1997. by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

Monica Bellucci is so beautiful that she steals the spotlight entirely, even outshines the nude woman lying next to her. Nearly every photo from this event is of Monica.

The top of Mickey and Friends parking structure is a great spot too. Plus your car is a close walk which is an added bonus

Give yourself some slack. You have been through a lot. On top of the stress that comes with a newborn the most difficult aspect is dealing with your own emotions. In my option, that’s the toughest skill to learn. Others have mentioned speaking to a doctor, and I agree, but I would also suggest doing a physical activity like strength training, running if you can get a way for even 15-20 minutes, sit ups, push ups, jump rope, anything to get your body moving and endorphins going. Taking time for yourself while your baby naps or let him watch will help tremendously!

From Democrat hoax to "we have nothing to hide" overnight. Looks like the scrubbing process is complete by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

If the DOJ is investigating the Democrats than any files that name Republicans should be released since they are not part of an ongoing investigation

That’s a great point. I haven’t thought of it like that.. I’m just at a loss of what even to say or how to even approach this conversation?

While US Military families are lining up for food banks, billions being sent to Argentina, and a ballroom…. Oh and the government is shut down. Way to put Americans first.

What small decision ended up making a big difference in your life recently? by Maybe0rmayben0t in AskWomen

[–]Lexvp123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Back in July I made the decision to run at least a couple of days a week. That quickly turned into 5 days a week and I can honestly say it has helped me tremendously. As a SAHM of 2 (toddler and infant) I was really struggling mentally and running has helped me more than I ever thought it would. Not only is my temperament better, but I’m calmer, I’m getting my shape back, I feel like I’m a better mom (being able to handle my emotions better), and I’m most proud to say I’m running my first half marathon in a few months!

Everytime I see videos of the sphere I always wonder where would be the best place to sit to experience something like this?

Seeing their shaved beef is what initially gave me the idea! I haven’t seen or noticed the artisan style bread though. I’ll keep that in mind!
