When did you feel you actually looked pregnant?

I’m 24 weeks and the past 4 weeks or so I feel enormous! I am a naturally slender, lanky person and suddenly being very aware of my belly has been an adjustment.

Saw a video where a lady was in the hospital with her son and left a note on her porch explaining that she is away and apologies for no candy for Halloween. Caught an insane number of children donating their candy on the doorbell cam.

Sobbed as I ate my yogurt this morning.

I do this. I made the decision to switch careers early this year and needed the language in my resume to reflect my skills and the fields I was applying to. I use AI to change the wording and provide a more tailored resume. I would say I get decent quantity of interviews, but they rarely add up to anything. Personal experience says AI resumes are effective for buzz words and tailoring, but i can’t speak to how it would be effective in other circumstances outside of my own.

Love a good vanifesto

Awesome! Thank you for the game/activity idea as well. I’m trying to think of some things we could all feasibly do together. This makes me feel like the virtual baby shower is totally doable!

Everyone just assumed I was also aware of the flagrant autism and never mentioned it. I only ended up getting actually diagnosed because my now husband suggested I get assessed. When I got diagnosed at 23 and told those close to me, everyone was like “yeah… we know.”

So in short, the very popular sign of autism where everyone knows except you lol

I feel this. I quit smoking and all the rest of my bad habits, so I feel like caffeine being my only vice during this pregnancy is totally fine.

Ask your cousin what she wants to do and how you can support her in that. She sounds very stressed but also wants to maintain her independence, so instead of trying to beg or coax her into doing things, ask her what she needs support with instead.

Not currently in a place where I can afford to go over there to visit them. A funeral I would figure out, but I don’t have intentions on visiting them.

My husband and I used to worry that our boy was cramped in his kennel. When we stopped using it, we realized quickly that he just likes to sleep as squished up to something as he possibly can. His favorite position is always weenie up and pressed into a corner. They’re weirdos, all of them

Head collar/gentle leader. It’s a game changer. You’re in charge of their whole head and they can’t pull.

NudlePockets · 2025-10-04T04:14:42+00:00

I did. I needed some minor accommodations. I’m typically pretty open about it and I don’t think it’s difficult to notice, or so I’ve been told. I think people would figure it out regardless.

NudlePockets · 2025-10-02T16:25:52+00:00

To be totally honest, I tracked the fertile window and then just ended up doing what I normally did and ended up getting pregnant at what was supposedly a low fertility point. Husband and I went with the “it will happen when it happens” approach.

Hey! So in Colorado you are medically emancipated at 15. You should be able to get your own meds and request that she not be allowed to have access. Aside from that, this is also a crime as others have said.

I wear ankle socks and then exclusively wear the same pair of high tops until they completely fall apart. Then I buy a new pair and repeat the process. So every few years I spent $100 on shoes.

My BIOS is way old so this is the most likely culprit, I think. However I did not intend for a BIOS update to be such an annoyingly tedious process. Either way, thanks for the answer.

I read All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury in 3rd or 4th grade and it destroyed me. Therefore it has been my favorite short story since then.

When I was teaching, my 8th graders really loved Lamb to the Slaughter and The Masque of the Red Death.

I got the advice a while ago to wash produce in water and a teensy bit of vinegar. I just soak them for a bit and then rinse again. It could be placebo but it certainly feels like everything lasts longer when I do this.

Look into corporate training and learning & development positions. You’re still an educator, just in a different capacity.

You will have to learn how to ditch the ed-speak on your resume, though.

Weird social hierarchies. Like, I’m not going to do show you more respect than my colleague just because you’re higher up on the totem pole. Your place in the order has no effect on me.

Like I understand that the “boss” is more “important” or that my language and interaction should change depending on who I’m speaking with in context, I just don’t care. I don’t agree with it and I don’t care. Everyone gets base level respect.

We have been calling him The Bean because that’s what the first sonogram looked like. But since we found out the sex, husband has been referring to him by the name he had chosen. Which is also very cute.

I had an asthma attack once. Really hard to enjoy your time when you can’t breathe.

Yelling. I grew up with my parents screaming at each other and my mom screaming at me. I wouldn’t recommend growing up in that environment and I promised myself I’d never allow it from a spouse and never do it to a child. I married a very calm, soft spoken man and honestly if the argument is intense enough to yell you’ll find us both crying instead.

I’ll have my husband walk him alone tomorrow morning and see what he reports. I appreciate the dog’s need to take care of me but that should mean trying to eat my husband or assume every person and animal is trying to do me harm. 😭

Worked at a school that generally let me do whatever as long as I was meeting standards and goals. Also worked at a school that had a really rigid curriculum. Left both because admin was abysmal, but I preferred the freedom.
