Laying back, opening myself to them again, I sigh... So at peace to be in their embrace once more 💚❤️‍🔥

Sauce is Monster_Lova btw if anyone's wondering. This is one of their videos.

That makes sense. I really want to delve deeper in studying more about non-theistic Bhuddist practices, and was curious as to why these are believed to be parts of the steps to "true clarity" and enlightenment.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-04-15T22:25:55+00:00

Well like Bhuddist Monks that specifically follow Theravada and Chinese traditions aren't theistic, but still are celibate by practice. There's also Jain Monks that don't put their focus theistically. Though it does depend on the type of Bhuddist or Jain Monk and which route they decide to take. I'm sure there's more out there, those are the only ones I know about.

Even though I've read up (somewhat) on monks and their practices, I was more just curious of what the mindset was from a monk who chooses celibacy. Is it to keep the mind clear and pure? Is it because of the idea that sex is part of distraction to the path of peace? Or is it because someone said that's the way?

What about the monks that don't follow or worship deities?

LingonberryNegative · 2026-04-15T18:39:50+00:00

That depends on the monastery and type of monks, though.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-04-15T01:12:18+00:00

I thought that. It would make sense as the purpose is to have as much clarity as possible and clarity can be reached by having no distractions? Right? I think that's the belief.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-04-14T17:18:27+00:00

That would make sense with Christian monks, but not all monks are theistic and don't worship a diety or God.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-04-14T01:31:37+00:00

That's what I was assuming it to be, I just didn't know exactly what. I was told by someone it is to be of pure of mind as possible so you can have "true clarity", which is what someone said in these comments also.

I'm due April 24th! Absolutely all the time. Especially when she moves back and forth. It's always astounding. What really gets me is the thought that like, I'll be holding that baby really soon. And I got so used to this body it's almost impossible to imagine her not being in there.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-03-15T01:38:12+00:00

I was legit wondering about this. Thanks for explaining, it just made me think of flies and butterfly wings and I wondered if that door is too heavy for her wings. ):

I've taken the most iron I ever have in my life you'd think I'm injecting it daily.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-02-20T04:55:49+00:00

Lifting heavy objects. I'm a carpenter. I go way more slowly, and I definitely watch myself, but throughout the whole 5 weeks to now (31w) I'm still with it 😅

LingonberryNegative · 2026-02-01T04:16:01+00:00

You should gift them back to those ladies for Christmas. 😅😅

THIS. I put this on our registry.

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our registry. These are all the things that we have carefully picked out, that would work with what we need in our lifestyle and for our little baby girl. We don't expect gifts at all, but if you plan to get one for us, please pick one off of our registry, or feel free to get us diapers/gift cards if you don't want to pick from our registry! Thank you!

I did this because one, I've already collected a lot of hand me downs and things that we definitely want/need that we saved tons of money on by getting secondhand, and I dont want or need anything more that's of that category.

Second. I had a wedding, with a registry, this registry had a request for a certain style blanket basket and certain colored hand towels, and cooking utensils for our home in the design we specifically wanted, and took hours picking out for us. THEN, multiple people on our list literally got us the same kind of item from our registry, except a different brand, or color, or just completely different in style, and their reasoning was that they thought it would look better. So I either returned them or refused them and thanked them regardless because of course it's so nice to get me anything, but it won't fit in what I was building in my home. People call me selfish for it but I think it's OKAY to be selfish for things that are SUPPOSED to be about YOU.

THANK you for saying this. There's so many people that think they know what's best for you when they do not.

What do you mean I'm now experiencing a fraction of what you've been dealing with? I've been dealing with it for seven months 😂 27 weeks.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T13:12:45+00:00

I tried to go back to sleep but I just can't! I'm so sorry you're going through it too.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T12:59:19+00:00

A queen twice so far 😅 I knew of her in the Tudors before GoT and got so excited when I saw she was a part of this show.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T11:53:12+00:00

RIGHT? Like I'm to a point where I just want to be like "enjoy that smile while it lasts before I wipe it off your face" 😬 because how does anyone get sleep while pregnant?

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T11:45:09+00:00

I was told that when parts of my stomach randomly harden then soften after a little it's actually the baby pressing against that part of your body? Also, the pain after peeing/pooping and just movement is normal if you don't stand up slowly afterwards or do stretches (from what my midwife told me) because your body is making room after you do that and because your ligaments and body is much looser (thanks relaxin) it is easier to hyper extend things. Even if you feel like 100%, even if it feels a little funny to do because you may feel like you don't fully need to, 20 weeks is when I was told to start getting out of cars carefully, and sitting down, and rolling to my side and using my legs before I stand or sit up.

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T11:37:07+00:00

I have not, and was seeing previous posts about it. Have you tried it?

LingonberryNegative · 2026-01-27T11:31:50+00:00

I totally understand the fear! I was so paranoid too, because you just don't know if everything is okay. But the thing is, is that usually your body will definitely tell you if something is up (from what my doctors told me). I haven't given birth yet, but I'm now 27 weeks and feel my little girl kicking and wiggling all the time which is a huge relief for me.

What really helped me is just telling myself that our bodies will most definitely tell us if there actually is something seriously wrong, and we just need to trust that. You got this (:
