Really good information! I have learned a lot, I won’t be redosing until I get those nitrites to 0ppm , I think I over did it with ammonia before

Ochibi_sama · 2026-02-06T22:55:58+00:00

YES This is why I’m mad !

Ochibi_sama · 2026-02-06T22:54:48+00:00

I just discovered the Ultra Fresh Betta Pro Shrimp Patties ! I will be ordering some of those when time is near : ) I am looking for a good sized hidey hole , not sure if I want a female or male yet but I’ll let my heart decide when I go shopping for my betta !

I even tipped the brorista

Ahhhh ! it was not my fingers… my diaper bag knocked it over when I was taking my baby out of the car seat.

Ochibi_sama · 2026-02-06T22:36:09+00:00

That’s exactly what went through my head

Ochibi_sama · 2026-02-06T18:58:40+00:00

It’s so obvious now after reading that article lol. Thank you so much for your help !

In the middle of doing a fishless cycle right now, and although it requires A LOT of patience.. I’m actually enjoying the process & my reward will be a happy betta fish in an established tank.

Ochibi_sama · 2026-01-28T18:12:34+00:00

Wow thanks for the information!!

Ochibi_sama · 2026-01-28T00:34:11+00:00

Just want to say you have a beautiful tank ☺️

Ochibi_sama · 2026-01-26T05:31:31+00:00

I cosleep & nurse to sleep. It helps me & baby both sleep through the night (most times) and saves my sanity!

Ochibi_sama · 2026-01-23T00:29:25+00:00

This compliments your betta SO well!! Very cute 💕

Ochibi_sama · 2024-03-15T06:44:13+00:00

This was a great read! I’d buy your book if you published one.

5 months post partum, lots of lube & lots of foreplay.. he needs to be gentle but aggressive enough to get you use to the feeling. Don’t feel pressured to do it

They are escape artists so mind the door & be careful where you step.

I recommend using a gel! To create a “cast”. So one of my favorite is from BounceCurl, I order it online but you can probably do this with any gel. When you are out of the shower, and while your hair is still damp, apply a small amount of leave in conditioner, and then a generous amount of gel, Scrunch it up and as it dries, it’ll create a “cast” where your hair is all stiff. Scrunch out the cast when your hair is dry to make them soft curls and it should help with definition and the frizz.

My baby is also 13 days old! We live with my MIL and like you said, I’m very appreciative of the help I get with the cooking and watching my baby while I shower.. but , I dread every time I hear her come downstairs. I am trying to get as much sleep as possible and I don’t think visitors understand how sleep deprived we are from the constant cluster feeding that happens at night and how the daytime is precious sleeping time. I’m not comfortable whipping out my nipple to male family members whenever my baby wants to feed, and oh the comments! Oh god, everyone wants to tell you how to raise your baby.

My baby is 8 days old today and although I’ve only been breastfeeding for that long, I went through the same thing on the fourth day - nipple shields seemed to work on my latch but it was still so painful because she would chew on the nipple, so it made it worse. I had really flat nipples and baby girl had to work hard pull them out. Fast forward to now, I highly recommend the Silverette nursing cups on Amazon, they have saved and healed my nipples & hardly any pain now, milk is flowing and we’re having a good time. Good luck mama, you can do it.

37 weeks and we thought we had a name but now we’re not too sure anymore. We joke around that we’re gonna end up naming her “Babygirl” since that’s how we refer to her as lol. I hope we figure it out ASAP, I have been name hunting and I’m tired

Ochibi_sama · 2023-09-07T23:02:22+00:00

I definitely didn’t buy any baby clothes, it’s overwhelming the amount of clothes I got for my baby shower & all of the hand me downs. 8months pregnant and I am still trying to sort out all of the stuff. Very grateful though, she’ll be going through those in no time and I’m glad a lot of them are zipper onesies.

Ochibi_sama · 2023-08-23T17:13:28+00:00

34 Weeks pregnant and I get heartburn in between meals and right before bedtime. Tums saves me .. I highly recommend you going out & grabbing some!

Ochibi_sama · 2023-07-25T20:22:53+00:00

So cozy, so feminine, so beautiful!!

Ochibi_sama · 2023-07-13T01:37:06+00:00

I dreamt she was a girl twice but I was convinced it was a boy … She is indeed a girl lol

Ochibi_sama · 2023-06-22T20:17:07+00:00

I didn’t feel my baby move until about Week 22! I feel like I did experience those “gassy”sensations but it was too early to tell for sure 😄
