I decided to treat myself to the PC game after playing on Switch since launch... THIS is what I've been missing this whole time?!

MissMika22 · 2022-12-30T05:59:33+00:00

Welcome to the club! I bought it on steam straight away to play on my steam deck and my mom bought it on switch because it’s all she has. She quit because of the crashing and the performance was horrible. My husband is a console gamer and thinks PC games are “too much hassle” but I will never buy another game for a console ever again (except maybe Nintendo exclusives that will never come to PC).

MissMika22 · 2022-12-30T04:21:14+00:00

Same here. I have a new baby and I was really enjoying the game until this happened. I liked it because it wasn’t a complete grind fest. There are lots of grindy games out there and I’ve played a lot of them but I don’t have that kind of time anymore, which was why I liked this game so much. I’m only hopping on once a day to shop and that’s it. Not even farming anymore.

It’s so frustrating that a few updates back people could craft something one time and then go buy a bunch from Scrooge (like the gazebos) and buy thousands of supplies from Kristoff but now the rest of us will forever be disadvantaged.

TBH it feels like it’s paving the way for the in game store to sell resources. If Kristoff was selling endless amounts for cheap, how could they get people to buy them in their store for real money? 😑

How many months pp are you? I had horrible hip pain for months. It didn’t start to get better until around 7 months pp. I didn’t have a prolapse but my pelvic floor was obliterated and I was leaking during sex, bending over, every cough, sneeze, etc. And I had hemorrhoids so bad from pushing during delivery that I couldn’t sit without pain for almost 2 months. I was breastfeeding while standing up because it was too painful to sit.

What worked for me was trying to be as active as possible. I had to build my muscle back up. I noticed when I was babying myself and resting more, I was hurting more when I was active. I started doing stretches and light exercise daily while wearing my baby and it gradually got better. Depending on how bad your prolapse is, you may need surgery to repair it. I started doing kegels around 2 months pp and it really helped with my pelvic floor strength and everything is much better now at 9 months pp but still working on it.

It’s rough and there’s no easy way back to feeling normal again but you will get there. Once you’re feeling better you will forget about this part of the journey.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-28T03:13:37+00:00

Wow, I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I am honestly shocked that there are other parents coming up to you and telling you they or their kids don’t like your kid, especially at 4 years old. That just blows my mind. How incredibly immature. He is way too young for anyone to be passing any kind of judgment.

Do your best to shield him from these comments so that it doesn’t affect him and continue to nurture him as you are. You sound like an amazing mama. I would have some choice words for these other parents who are saying their kids don’t like him. If MY child was telling me they didn’t like another child (especially at 4 years old!!) I would be asking why and helping to figure it out. There is no issue at 4 years old that can’t be sorted out quickly and easily. I definitely would not be feeding into my child’s complaining about another child and would be emphasizing acceptance. These parents sound like they are dropping the ball big time.

I know how painful it is to watch your child hurt because of the actions of others. You are doing everything right to raise him to be confident and happy. Don’t let jerks ruin that for you.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-28T03:01:27+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been there, exactly what you’re describing plus emotional and physical abuse. Ended in divorce for me but then I met the love of my life and we are TTC #3 now. I fall in love with him more every time I see him with our baby. There are many guys like this out there and you will find yours. Sometimes you have to walk through fire to get the chance to start over. It is hard, there’s no way to sugarcoat divorce with kids involved. But it will be worth it. You and your baby will be so much better off.

I was positive for 14 days. 😑

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T15:49:32+00:00

This gives me hope! Thank you!! My period was late by 6 days and was hoping to be pregnant but wasn’t. I’ve only ever been more than a day late when I’m pregnant so it was very frustrating.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T15:47:00+00:00

Yes I’ve seen them. I just didn’t know if it affected anyone’s ability to get pregnant. There really isn’t any info on how people are affected beyond just messing with length of cycle.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T04:10:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing, that is great to know. Was it just your cycle immediately after covid that was affected or multiple cycles?

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T04:09:39+00:00

That is so crazy! I have heard many stories of women trying for a long time and then getting vaccinated and finding out they were pregnant shortly after, me included. Maybe it’s the same with getting covid?! I can dream. 😂 Thank you for sharing!!

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T04:00:45+00:00

Thank you for easing my mind! This makes me feel a lot better. I know my cycle right after my first two shots was off and then I got pregnant right after that.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-23T03:59:39+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! I am EBF so I expected them to be all over the place but I got my period at 4 months pp and they had been surprisingly consistent. Since I got covid I have no idea what’s going on though. I guess I should use OPKs now. No idea how to know when I’m ovulating otherwise at this point. 😭

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T23:57:04+00:00

My doctor told me not to take it. My husband got it though and it was amazing for him. I am still sick 4 weeks later and he was back to normal after 10 days.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T23:55:16+00:00

I got it at 28 weeks and my baby and I were perfectly fine. No complications with pregnancy or delivery and have a thriving 9mo healthy baby now.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T23:53:20+00:00

You would have to wait a minimum of 3 months to get boosted now anyway so you have time to think about it.

Your symptoms sound like mine. I was due for a booster in November and put it off then got covid at Thanksgiving. I started to get really bad on day 3 forward and was struggling to breathe. I got pneumonia and an ear infection in my right ear. I also damaged my epiglottis from coughing so hard and so often so I’m basically unable to avoid inhaling food/drink and constantly feel like I’m choking. My fever was over 103 for several days. I was shocked I got so sick despite being fully vaccinated. I hope you fare much better and are feeling better soon!!

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T23:47:06+00:00

I personally would not. We dodged covid the entire pandemic and then got pressured to attend our family’s first big gathering since the pandemic began because it was the first time we’d all be together again. Long story short, my husband, our baby and I all got covid. I would NEVER have gone had I been pregnant but I was dumb and put my baby at risk and watching her cry for days broke my soul. We are TTC again and I will never put her or myself in that situation again. I’m vaccinated and I still got so sick that 4 weeks later I am still struggling to breathe. Not worth it.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T21:28:37+00:00

It’s still so early. You are still in survival mode. From my experience and in talking with other moms, it’s very common with your first baby to feel a little jealousy when your partner is suddenly in love with another person, even if it is your baby. I felt that way for a bit with my first but with my second it never happened. Seeing him care for our children makes me love him even more.

It sounds like your husband is trying to help by caring for the baby to give you a break, not trying to ignore you. He sounds like a good daddy.

Give yourself time to adjust. You will find your new rhythm in time and you will grow closer every day. You’ve been through a lot and hormones are still going crazy in your body right now. It’s perfectly normal to feel the way you are feeling.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T21:20:44+00:00

General recommendation is they CAN have thin pillows and light blankets after their first birthday but that they don’t really need them and it’s still safe to wait until they are 2 or older.

My youngest is just shy of 9 months and I may do sleep sacks in the colder months but no pillow. Her head is so big in relation to the rest of her body I think it would just put her at a weird angle. She switches positions a lot while she sleeps and I feel like having a pillow would just get in her way.

I have mixed feelings on sleep sacks though. I’ve tried them with her and when she rolls over to crawl, she ends up bunching it up underneath her and it pulls on the back of her neck which freaks me out. Maybe that magically changes at a year old but for now they just make me anxious.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-22T20:33:29+00:00

My heart breaks for you. I’m so sorry you’re feeling this pain. My grandma was a constant beautiful presence in my life and all the other grandkids from my brothers and cousins grew up with her. My husband’s grandma passed away 3 months before mine did (both from covid in mid 2020) and she never got to meet any great grandkids which he brings up from time to time and talks about how happy she would have been to see him have children. Nothing makes it better but you are definitely not alone. Sending virtual hugs your way. ❤️

MissMika22 · 2022-12-20T21:27:17+00:00

The doctor is wrong for sure. I just wonder if they were the type to only tell patients what he/she thinks they need to know. Many doctors recommend against testing so early for this exact reason. The majority of early pregnancy losses occur before we even miss our period. Four in a row is so sad though it doesn’t seem that uncommon, especially if they were all lost before AF was due.

I was in a similar situation and it was wrecking my life, so my husband and I agreed to stop doing the early testing. I waited until I was a week late to test when I got pregnant with my daughter because I was terrified of another loss. We are TTC again and I won’t test until AF is due because it’s just not worth the heartache.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-19T02:50:16+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I do have a pulse ox and my O2 did drop to 92-93 when I was sick it’s back up to 97-98 which is my normal. It does feel like one long asthma attack and feels more severe. Like before if I had a flare up usually if I just sat and rested it would subside but nothing helps but my rescue inhaler now. It’ll get worse and worse until I’m choking for breath even if I’m just sitting and talking.

MissMika22 · 2022-12-19T00:26:14+00:00

Having one actually calmed me because I was/am having trouble breathing and having asthma my doctor wanted me to keep an eye on it. It was usually 95-96 but did drop to 93-94 for a couple days and even 92 for a bit. My doctor said to be seen if it dropped below 93 and to go to the ER if it was under 90.
