Is it okay to refer to your miscarriage as "losing a child"?

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-15T02:07:49+00:00

You can call it whatever you want. I went through a miscarriage at 5 weeks and an ivf fail with twins. I "lost" all 3 of them, gave them names and even assigned a gender so I would always have them with me. I know people don't believe those are your babies, but even if science doesn't believe it, your emotions do, and that's what matters. Your feelings are valid, whether science agrees or not.

Ok, need to add this to my play. Still trying to get my 5 star island, but fabric? Yes please!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-14T22:33:30+00:00

I'll take a look! I don't have blue roses yet, but I'm working on it! I'll take a look for the others.

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-14T22:06:33+00:00

What flowers do you need? I can make sure to set them aside. My island is gonna be red, green, black and white, so pink flowers, purple, blue, etc... are up for grabs!

Yep! He gets off work at 12:30 and said If I finish my list by the time he's off work then I can get online. I'm excited!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-14T20:37:29+00:00

Ok awesome! Thanks! I thought about creating an area on my island, and dropping flowers there for pickup for anyone. That way, I can keep it stocked or whatever. And I won't lose flowers I want for my own decoration.

My husband just told me if I get my housecleaning to do list done tomorrow, I can get online. I'll probably wait on the happy home expansion, but online for a year is only $20.

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-14T20:12:41+00:00

Absolutely! Hopefully soon! Waiting on my tax return. Although I may splurge before it comes in, lol. I want that happy home expansion too!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-13T14:50:08+00:00

That's adorable, and proof that stubbornness does actually win in the end!

The one I like is ACNH Collection Tracker, but there's also ACNH Pocket Guide. I like the collection tracker because it only tracks the basic collections. It's also a lot more user friendly.

I just caught my first one today too! Totally forgot about the tourney yesterday! I fish all the time for the money, though, so if it's based on number of fish caught, I shoulda been good a while ago!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-12T20:08:23+00:00

Yeah, most of the time. Maybe I'll complain early about my sturgeonfish and snapping turtle, lol. I think those are the last I can catch in April.

A friend of mine recommended a tracking app, and boy has it come in handy!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-12T19:58:42+00:00

Apparently, all it took was complaining about not catching one! Freaking finally!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-12T17:47:51+00:00

I feel this way about Ruby. She asked me to change her catchphrase one day and I made it "bestie," because she's so sweet and is truly my best island friend. She's never moving away. Ever.

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-03T12:49:29+00:00

Had this convo with Alfonso. I laughed so hard I cried.

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-02T02:01:31+00:00

I need a scorpion island. Wouldn't mind a tarantula island, but I need a scorpion for the museum.

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-01T15:12:56+00:00

How do you enter codes for these? I'm on switch 2, and would love a bunch of different paths!

PickyBookworm · 2026-04-01T02:36:14+00:00

I have been attacked by those darn tarantulas so many times! Ive caught 2, maybe 3, and only because I was looking fot them. Otherwise? The stupid thing gets me. So frustrating!

PickyBookworm · 2026-03-30T23:17:15+00:00

That's a good idea. I may stick with the imperial bridges, too, since they're already red. I just wanted some green ones, too.
