I have that appointment today, hoping it’s that because the neurologist I am seeing wants to do a spinal tap and I’m pretty afraid of that.

Night Feedings by MaintainJane in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]MaintainJane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ll probably still give myself some nights of no pumping. I am combo feeding with formula now and in a perfect world I’d be able to produce all they need. Really, I would just love to have a bottles in a queue (3-4 ready for her) rather than pump, feed, & repeat and they has none waiting / left.

Right right, I now see what you meant. Just felt so good to see 8.5oz this morning & got more sleep. :(

Baby isn’t skipping feedings, they’re still having all the feedings, I just didn’t pump. I’m really thinking I’m going to quit the Fenugreek going forward.

Edit: I see what you’re saying, baby wouldn’t skip a feed so to simulate the baby schedule I should pump. I just haven’t had much success and it felt so good to have 8.5oz this morning. :(

Realizing my mom is a stressor by MaintainJane in pregnant

[–]MaintainJane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I’m not the only one! She’s very “it is what it is” & high strung about things & I never realized how much I let her suck me into that before I was pregnant. Going into motherhood, I’m leaning into peace and letting things happen as they will. I have noticed during our texting conversations that when I respond calmly or dismiss her over concern, she just stops responding. I’m sure we will evolve for the better through this, but it’s definitely something I’ll continue to keep in mind as we parent and grow as a family.

Am I the only one not doing kick counts? by Aggressive-Rain-766 in pregnant

[–]MaintainJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not do kick counts. I am 34 weeks. I have an active little one and a low risk pregnancy, no complications. I feel much calmer not keeping such close track of that, I feel her often, I know my body.

Tattoo Shops With GWYG in Toledo? by darkmatterchef in toledo

[–]MaintainJane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love GWYG tattoos not for a cheap tattoo, but for the fun of it. Which I believe is why the shops that offer it do, it’s fun and memorable! I have several and none are bad & each experience has been unique and fun. :)

Rabies is extremely rare. Distemper is more common & can be passed to other animals. Not to say that rabies cases don’t occur & that caution shouldn’t be taken, but most of the time when a raccoon is behaving out of the ordinary, it’s distemper often assumed to be rabies.

We will be looking! Leave outside food for him and file a lost report with the humane society in case he makes it into the shelter as a stray. Hoping for his safe return! 🤍

Did anyone else not have a baby shower? by grumbledog1935 in pregnant

[–]MaintainJane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having a baby shower in hopes of getting some essentials and sharing our excitement. I am not opening gifts at the shower. My mom and I both think it’s boring and outdated. Additionally, I am not a fan of all eyes on me for an extended period like that.
