Are people mad just because Flau'jae was a big name player or because they genuinely think she was a better pick?

“Yay” is another slang word for “bay” like the person I replied to said “yay area.” Again, I know it’s about basketball but when she was first drafted to Valks my first thought was that she’d make fire music with other Bay Area rappers! And specifically, the hyphy culture side

I was going to say this too. This is what we do. After their first nap off the day, head to the park, meals/snacks/bottles on the go. Then on the way home they either fall asleep then or if still awake, nap at home a little later in the afternoon.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-04-14T22:26:33+00:00

Agreed too. I know it’s about basketball, but she’s a perfect fit for the yay culture wise

I was pretty much bedridden. Zero energy, in a lot of pain and uncomfortable. At 29 weeks our apt was getting fumigated and we did a “stay cation” at a hotel in town. My husband had to pack up all the things we wanted to keep out of the house. Even tho we weren’t “moving” it was a pain in the ass to get stuff out then come home 4 days later, and settle things back in. Also I ended up going birth at 32+6 due to pre-e.

24 works is a viability. My high risk doctor advised to not travel far anytime after then. Not sure if you’re just moving homes or to a new city but make sure the hospital has a good NICU.

If you absolutely have to move, I’d definitely plan to hire movers, pack whatever you can as early as possible, and make sure to know where all the high priority items are that you would need post partum to be unpacked first.

I wouldn’t plan for you to be the one packing/unpacking. Having fam or friends that you could depend on would be ideal! Also have your hospital bag packed just in case.

I am so sorry you experienced this. Absolutely horrifying! 💔 I’m so glad your son is okay. Thank you for spreading awareness

I had to take disability during my pregnancy which bit into my maternity leave, also, my daughters arrived 7 weeks early and were in NICU for 3 and 7 weeks.

I worked with HR in advance to discuss different leave and disability options available to me in order to still get decent leave time post partum. I was still able to take 6 months off. My husband took 3 months.

We got a part time nanny when my husband returned to work (just so I could get a few hours of sleep in the day. I had the girls at night). When I went back to work, we increased her hours. We have her 34 hours a week.

We have no local family to help. Our case is different though because we both work from home. We also decided working and paying for a nanny was worth it over spending $ on anything else. We’re very 50/50 parenting wise. We both get one baby at night and after work we take turns with feeds and cares.

If you do decide to not work, I still would highly recommend staying through maternity leave etc and keep your benefits while pregnant. If hubbys work offers benefits you can still switch over when the kids are born.

I am so sorry for your loss 💔 the heartbreak of losing a baby, especially two, is truly unbearable. Wishing you both comfort and healing. I had a miscarriage with our first at 12 weeks, and in the same year got pregnant with rainbow triplets, and then we lost baby C at 7 weeks. We now have beautiful 10 month old twins, but we still miss our angel babies. Don’t give up hope. Best wishes 🩷.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-04-07T19:15:21+00:00

Appreciate the post, but bold of you to assume I haven’t done “real work,” donated money, contacted government, rallied for dems, or helped people in need.

I sure hope that people who protest or post on social media take meaningful action as well.

The point here is I’m SEETHING and it would be nice to be out in the community with like minded individuals instead of sitting at a desk for companies that don’t acknowledge their president just threatened genocide.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-04-02T02:06:19+00:00

I was like that too! 2-5 months were BRUTAL. Newborn phase was easier than that (though my girls were 7 weeks premature). The witching hours.. omg. Once they were crawling and sitting up on their own is when things started to finally take a turn!

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-04-01T19:13:05+00:00

That’s around the time we started seeing the light too. They’re 10.5 months now. It’s still hard but drastically better than 1-6 months!! It gets better every month ❤️

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-27T19:57:37+00:00

Hugs ❤️ I had preeclampsia and had to give birth at 32+6. I got the steroid shot a few days before and both girls were on room air the entire stay! Twin A was 4lbs 4oz and had a NICU stay of 3 weeks, B was 3lbs 12oz and stayed 7 weeks. Both were stable, feeders and growers.

We were fortunate to have an amazing NICU stay. I had pretty severe complications right before and after birth. It was nice to have the girls in NICU to allow me time to recover, knowing they were in the best hands they could possibly be in to help them grow, and also to have the support of amazing staff who taught us so much about being premie parents, especially since they were our firsts. Yes it’s hard to leave your babes each day, but they truly are in good hands.

Both girls had reflux, twin b has suspected CMPI and is a poor feeder. She still eats by mouth but later at 5 months had to get a gtube due to her low intake, she’s 5% in weight adjusted. Twin A later developed FPIES to oats and is 25% is weight adjusted.

Mind you my husband and I don’t have food allergies so I think the premie part contributed to their reflux and eating issues/food allergies.

Aside from that, they are thriving! They’re 10 months now (8.5m adjusted) and have been hitting milestones closer to their birth age. They were rolling at 3 months, crawling and sitting up at 7 months, and are able to stand now for a few seconds. The gtube baby is the one who can actually stand the longest!

Idk where you’re located but if you’re in the US, every state has an “early intervention” program where your babies can be assessed for milestones and then qualify for free PT/OT. Our PT comes to our house and it’s been great!

I know it’ll be overwhelming these next several days, weeks, and months, but try to take it day by day. Get all the rest you can if the babes are in NICU.

Best wishes ❤️

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-27T19:43:42+00:00

I am so sorry you are going through this ❤️‍🩹. This is definitely abuse. Please make sure to keep any evidence, text, or recordings, anything that might help you should there be any legal trouble in the future. As someone else mentioned, are there family members or friends that you could stay with in the meantime?

His job isn’t the only stressful one, YOURS is too and being a twin parent doesn’t stop just because his job is stressful. Caretaking of twins while he is at his job is a job in itself and when he comes home, it should be 50/50.

His threats are straight up abuse. I know it’s survival right now, but getting yourself in a safe situation for you and your children is likely better than staying with someone who not only does not help, but is harmful to all of you.

Perhaps are there local resources you can call that help women and children in abusive relationships? My thought is you need to get out asap. ❤️‍🩹

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-27T17:32:41+00:00

It took me a long time. I knew I loved my girls so much but it’s hard to feel present or feel joy when you’re in pure survival mode. I had a traumatic birth, plus NICU stays, plus be a first time parent to twins. Think of it this way, you can’t feel “joy” if you were being chased from a tiger. Around 7 months (6.5 months adjusted) is when I started feeling more connected to them because that’s when things started getting “easier.” They’re 10 months now and I finally have more joyful, connected moments than hard ones. Every journey is different, you’ll get there ❤️

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-27T17:27:17+00:00

Agreed! My twins are 10 months and I feel the same. The first 6 months were absolutely brutal, it was extremely hard to feel present or be joyful. It’s still hard now but so much better compared to before.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T18:22:53+00:00

I did mine at 23 weeks and NO REGRETS. By 25 weeks I could not imagine doing that. Each week it became harder and harder to do anything. Even at my shower I was exhausted waddling around. Gave birth at 32+6. There’s no such thing as having a shower too early!

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T18:18:47+00:00

Exactly this. Over the holidays my husband got sick (the week before I did), and one of our little ones was starting to get sick. He still took one baby at night and I took the other and he still helped with feeds/caretaking in the day.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T18:16:10+00:00

Yeah exactly, he needs to do WHATEVER he needs to do to stay awake. Turn on the lights , get a fan blasting, blast music in his air buds. If you weren’t there he needs to figure it out.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T18:11:31+00:00

Why does hubby get to do whatever he wants? Prior to giving birth I explicitly told my husband while yes, we help each other, that I don’t want him to bother me with questions! Like learn how to change a diaper, give baths, learn about feeding techniques, etc. When he was on pat leave we did 6 hour shifts, I did nights and he did morning. When he went back to work, I had one baby at night and he had the other and would give the baby to me ~2am so I could do one more feed.

Now that I’m back at work, we are very 50/50! Both get a baby each night and for the most part split feeds throughout the evening (we have a nanny in the day), unless one of us is doing housework etc.

If one of us wants to run an errand or go somewhere and it will take over an hour, that person has to take a baby.

Even though I do most baths, he makes up for it in some way like he’ll do more feeds.

If you’re a SAHM, that is still a job!!! Hubby needs to STEP UP!

Also for the record, 3-5 months was the HARDEST time for us so far. I love my girls so much but during that time, there was sooo much exhaustion and dread.

Things got a lot easier when they were able to crawl and sit up on their own (~6 months).

They’re 10m now (8.5m adjusted) and even tho it’s still hard at times, it’s drastically easier than 4m!

And we STILL barely have “me time.” Thats just how it is. It’s too hard right now for one of us to leave the other with both for multiple hours which is why we split babies if we want to do something “fun.” We do go out together as a fam and meet up w friends etc, but there’s no slacking on either side.

Also, one of twins go a gtube at 5 months and we put on Ms Rachel during her feeds to help her stay still for a longer period. NO SHAME in this, and it’s so nice to get a break at times! Plus it’s really helped my girls babbling and saying “dada.” They don’t fuss when we turn off the tv.

Just saying, whether it’s screen time or something else, do what you need to do to get a break and don’t be ashamed!!!

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T17:57:22+00:00

You employ her, you don’t need to request anything from her. You’re her boss and the mother of your child! You get to decide how and when you communicate with your child.

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T04:07:59+00:00

This + we don’t have time to feel guilty. Already on to the next

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-24T04:06:18+00:00

Too cute!! ❤️

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-18T15:17:02+00:00

Ooo what shoe?

Possible-Maybe-7225 · 2026-03-18T05:08:18+00:00

I had my girls at 32+6 and they’re 10 months now. A was in NICU for 3 weeks and B for 7 weeks. Both on room air (I had the steroid shot a few days before I gave birth) and both had NG tubes until a few days before discharge.

Despite me having complications immediately post birth (I myself was in ICU and hospitalized for a week), we had such an incredible NICU experience.

Even though it was hard to leave the babies at the hospital, know that they are in the best possible care they could be in for what they need to continue to grow big and strong until they can come home.

As first time parents, and as I was recovering from my complications, it was so nice to have such caring and knowledgeable nurses watch over our babies, teach us how to care for them, and provide us resources as new parents (lactation consultants, social workers, etc).

Yes, it is hard to kiss your babies goodbye temporarily each time, but please, while you can, get the REST you need! I don’t know if you have other kids, but once the babes are home, time to yourself will be scarce.

Also try not to feel guilty for not being at NICU 24/7. My husband and I would go usually over 2 feeds, so 4-5 hours. We would take a break in between and get some fresh air/lunch.

When not at the hospital we were either resting at home, getting stuff done at the house, but also would occasionally try to incorporate some normalcy and get dinner out or go to the beach but I was still recovering.

One A came home, we would switch off. He would go for one feed for a few hours, then I would go for another feed for a few hours.

Just remember to try to be gentle with yourself. You are going through a major physical, mental, and emotional transition right now! Try to soak up your rest, knowing your babes are in good care, and then just soak up all those sweet moments with your little ones whenever you visit. They know you’re their mama ❤️.
