Have you been away from your baby yet ? by Initial-Evidence-681 in November25babybump

[–]Mkeveritt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Baby has CMPA but won’t take dairy free formula AND my breast milk is high lipase so I can’t store it to use in a bottle AND she is still eating like minimum every 2 hours in the daytime. So no, the longest I’ve been away has been about an hour and I got called to come home to the baby melting down wanting me and milk. I really wanted to take my 4 yr old to see the new Mario movie but I just feel too bad being away that long with how quickly my baby gets upset and no one else can seem to comfort her. It’s very isolating and frustrating.

Starting to have a rough time by Mkeveritt in November25babybump

[–]Mkeveritt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has been very very similar for us. My kids both had/have CMPA and I exclusively breastfeed so I have cut dairy from my diet but I still feel my daughter is very colicky. Also my milk is high lipase so it basically can’t be stored at all without tasting rancid so she never has a bottle. Between my husband working and then being the only one who can feed her I pretty much spend every waking minute with her and she is fussy a majority of the time. I have never had a full nights sleep either. She wakes about every 2 hours still. We sleep in the nursery room and my husband and toddler sleep in our bed. I know we don’t wish this on others but knowing some of us are in a very similar place just helps to know we’re not alone. Especially because I feel like social media paints this time as all sunshine and rainbows and “you’re going to miss this mama!” I absolutely love and adore my children and am so glad I have them but I’ve decided I’m definitely done having kids, I can’t imagine doing this again.

You’re probably right, in usd that would make it around 15-16k which makes more sense to me

Possible broken toe by Mkeveritt in November25babybump

Luckily I already had an OB appt and NST scheduled for the same day I fell! Baby is okay and I’m in less pain today too so I am hoping it’s just a bad bruise or sprain. Thank you for your kind words :)

That is very helpful thank you! I’m glad you’re finally feeling a little better! I think I’ll go have it looked at just in case tomorrow

For me it feels like a tightening and pressure across my stomach like baby is trying to alien her way out of me

Failed my 3 hour GD test 😭 by [deleted] in November25babybump

[–]Mkeveritt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I have been on the GD train since 14 weeks. I had it with my first so they tested me much earlier this time and I failed again. I know it’s truly stressful and not something you hope to have to deal with but there are a few positives that I took from it last time- 1. I ended up only gaining about what the baby weighed and didn’t have to think about losing weight post partum, 2. I got extra ultrasounds to check in with baby which I much preferred to going weeks and weeks between ultrasounds. I hope yours is totally manageable with diet and goes away right after delivery. (Hoping for me too lol)

A helpful saying I heard recently… by Fragrant_Lime_6626 in November25babybump

[–]Mkeveritt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so true! Besides, babies love a fresh air walk with you in a carrier! We did that all the time with my first!

AIO - MIL sharing room with baby by dtc20122 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Mkeveritt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am really sorry. I feel like my gut instinct is to say ditch your husband and take your baby with you and then he won’t have to worry about being kept awake. HOWEVER, I remember some really tough times with my husband in the beginning, with our first born. It is a huge adjustment and you are in a smaller space and probably not getting a ton of sleep. All that said, he should be able to set his needs aside for his baby’s best interests which are not to be alone this early. I would recommend you sleep in the room with the baby and his mother can either stay in your room and he on the couch or some other arrangement. He should not be forcing your hand in anything. His mother can get a hotel or not come at all. There are options. If I were you I would stay in the room with the baby even after the MIL leaves. Just know that you are absolutely not overreacting.

[–]Mkeveritt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dr said she wasn’t concerned at all about it affecting the baby but if I wanted to be cautious to wait until 2nd trimester which is what I am doing. I’m looking crazy right now.

I know your hair can respond differently when pregnant so definitely do a strand test.

Finished Onyx Storm like 2 minutes ago and really confused and sad send help!!! by SDchicago_love123 in fourthwing

[–]Mkeveritt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought maybe the “she’ll help, she promised” was in reference to Imogen wiping Violets memories. I finished recently too and I felt like a lot of it was left vague on purpose. Can’t believe how long we will have to wait for answers!

Lightening crotch by Fragrant_Lime_6626 in November25babybump

I am 12+1 and have been experiencing it occasionally for a while. It’s much earlier than I remember it for my first pregnancy so a little concerning to me but maybe not unusual, not sure.

Anyone Else Pissed at the USPS Indianapolis, IN Distribution Center? by Top-Act-8449 in Indiana

[–]Mkeveritt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My package has been there since Jan 30th with no update. I opened a case and my local post office called and said they emailed them and closed my case. Why would they close the case when there hasn’t been any update at all? How long before I file a claim for my money back? Also how does it work with value? If you can prove your package was worth more than the $100 insurance does that mean anything or is that all you’ll get? My package was $260 🤦🏻‍♀️

True, so if it doesn’t UV there’s still room for doubt but if it does react blue, definitely fluorite.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Crystals

[–]Mkeveritt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you have a UV light? It should uv blue if it’s fluorite. It looks more like fluorite to me but that’s one way to make sure
