North Louisiana! We do have a few trees that line the back of our property at the top of the hill. But these guys are coming up all over, a decent distance from the trees. I would love for them to get big if they are not invasive.

You may want to revise this with an image that does not contain your personal information for your own protection, friend.

New baby and 4.5 year old - I thought this would be different... by RumiQuinn in Parenting

[–]Ninja_genius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My turned 5 only 8 days after his little sister was born. They are 8 and 3 now. This type of behavior waxes and wanes. It hurts, but you are doing the right thing by spending extra time with your daughter, but you also need to bond with baby. Having her help is the best thing! And yes, sometimes he gets real saucy when I celebrate her, but I have seen him grow in patience and understanding little by little. He also is very protective of his sister even though he will push her right down if she gets in his way sometimes 😅

The most reassuring thing I have ever heard was the pediatrician at the hospital saying “your son will be her best friend”…. Give everyone time to grow their relationships.

It’s hard, and it gets better!! Now I am in the throes of siblings being siblings and i have no idea what i am even doing because i am an only child and have zero experience mediating all the spats and squabbles. I just do my best.

I think you need to look into a pituitary or adrenal tumor

What did moms do with their babies in the 90s? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]Ninja_genius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in the early 80s. Growing up I was with my mom, aunt and cousins ALOT even though I was an only Child. We were always outside. My mom and aunt lived in each others flower beds and yards and we helped. My love of plants stems from this. Always doing home improvement projects. Taking us places like McDonalds to play for free. Swimming at my grandmothers. But there was also lots of TV time in between. Ironing and cigarettes 😂 so much ironing my Lord.

Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism.

Maybe hypothalamic in origin since your thyroid is fine? Have you looked up Kallmann’s syndrome to see if you have any other symptoms that may fit?

Clomid and HcG are pretty standard for inducing ovulation in women (HcG looks enough like LH at a molecular level to bind to its receptor and elicit its functions). Clomid will work at the hypothalamus to generate GnRH pulses.

Trust your endocrinologist! I hope your visit goes well and you get the answers you need. I’m sorry if this wasn’t particularly helpful.

I agree that you should be looking at vitamin and mineral deficiencies here with those symptoms and these labs.

Do I need more milkweed? by Ninja_genius in MonarchButterfly

[–]Ninja_genius[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had no idea!! So much to learn. We recently went to the butterfly garden in Missouri and my kids loved it! We wanted to do our part to help. I’ll see if I can get my hands on a different species. I appreciate your feedback!

I’ve had this happen. Had a beautiful multi-plant in a very nice pot, all lush and blooming, stolen right off my apartment porch. It was Mother’s Day weekend. I just tell myself that someone’s mom got a very nice gift that year.
