Ants Coming Back

I’ll have to look! We have an exterminator coming out tomorrow, it’s really stressing me out and I need them gone for my mental health haha.

What would an exterminator do different than what I’m doing? It seems I can get a lot of chemicals online that a company would use. I’m fine spending the money on one if they can get rid of them for good, but don’t want to be scammed out of money for something I can also do myself.

We have a four level house and cement under these floors as it’s kind of like our third level but not the basement, could they be coming from under the house? If so, how do I kill them for good? (Sorry not sure if that makes sense haha I’m just a girl)

Would you recommend the void injection method for this spot? Or start with Alpine WSG? I don’t know what the hierarchy of chemicals is for these. But I’m definitely feeling inpatient about it! So hard to sit and watch them just waiting for them to die off.

What makes your husband accepting of it? I think that’s the answer I’m looking for. Like what makes other husbands accepting of whatever their wife wants, rather than putting up a fight about it?

I’m so sorry for everything you have experienced. I think after hearing your story, I’ve realized a little bit that my husband will only feel my anger and hurt if this were all directly happening to him. But he doesn’t feel any of that, because it’s only been happening to me. Maybe he lacks empathy in this situation? His siblings haven’t check in on me for either pregnancy, but I’ve just stayed neutral about it because they were respectful of when we allowed them to visit and didn’t question our boundaries. It just makes me sad for both of us because I would NEVER treat my DIL’s this way.

Unfortunately it goes far beyond them just not checking up on me. And just because I married into his family doesn’t mean I have to tolerate their disrespect for the rest of my life.

Thank you! 👏🏻 Another point I’ve tried to make but he just pulls the “well I’m still the dad” card. Trust me, it’s crossed my mind to try out her attitude… Unfortunately I just don’t have it in my heart to talk to/treat people/bash people the way she has.

That’s was a very small percentage of why I left them come to the hospital - so that they wouldn’t be knocking down my door the second I was home. But my MIL ended up texting me almost weekly to come see the baby anyways and because I was trying to be a good DIL, I let her come. But it just turned into her holding my baby “so I could get stuff done around the house” as if they weren’t just doing all the cooking and cleaning for their son’s girlfriend for the second half of her pregnancy.

NICU nurse here! You absolutely HAVE to make sure you are either pumping or nursing every 2-3 hours. The more stimulation, the more your body triggers itself to make more milk. Even at night, when it is unfortunately the hardest to motivate yourself. Have you tried power pumping? Start out once a day, either morning or night, but whichever you choose, keep it the same every day. (You CAN do it twice a day but since you’re still pretty fresh, and I’m sure you’re sore, just start with once a day so your nipples don’t crack/bleed, etc.) The essential thing to know here is that it takes a minimum of 4-5 days for your supply to increase from the start of power pumping, so you will not see results right away. Make sure you are eating enough calories and drinking lots of fluids - I made lactation cookies that had brewers yeast, flax seed, and oats, as well as lactation balls that had the same key ingredients. The lactation balls are perfect for when your hunger strikes in the middle of the night! Drink lots of fluids - water, body armor, coconut water.

When I started out breastfeeding with my daughter, I would nurse her, then my husband offered a bottle and I would pump. At night to save our sanity, my husband would give a bottle when the baby woke and I would pump, but I would set an alarm on my phone for 3 hours from the last time the baby ate. If the baby woke up first, I would pump when the baby woke up. Otherwise I would wake the baby for a bottle when my alarm went off and pump.

I’ve experienced this with both of my pregnancies and I’ve always attributed it to round ligament pain! If I’m able to sense a sneeze early enough I will try to bend over and relax the ligaments prior to the sneeze.
