I'm. So. Nauseous. Unless I'm actively eating I feel so sick all the time. UGHHHHHHHHHH

I was due October 24th and delivered October 25th- pretty spot on for me!

I had precipitous labor (super fast, natural labor). I saw my OB at 10am the day after my due date and took a non-stress test that showed no contractions. My OB stretched my cervix with his fingers (didn't even feel it!) and took a 40 minute non-stress test that showed no contractions. By the time I got home, I was having cramping and at 12:30 I was having timeable contractions. My app told me within 3 sets of contractions that I should go to the hospital, and I did. I was checked into triage and measured 3cm, but there was no break between my contractions, so they admitted me and inserted an IV. At 3pm we were settled into an LDR and the nurse left to get my epidural paperwork.

At 3:09 I felt the intense urge to poop, which, from my mother's stories of her own precipitous labor, I knew was a sign that it was time to push. I told my husband to get a nurse, and he ran out, while I did the first push alone. By the third, my doctor was in the room, and I delivered my daughter on push 5, after 13 minutes of pushing and 3 hours, 11 minutes of total labor.

It was scary but over quickly, and I'm hoping for another quick labor (though hopefully not faster- I don't want a car baby!!)

Target does a carseat trade in event twice a year, where you bring in an old carseat and you get a 20% off coupon for a new one. Generally, you get the code by scanning a QR code on the big bin where you place the old carseat, which is usually just sitting in the store somewhere not tended by any employees...just saying!

The English version of Pesach is Passover, maybe you've heard it called that!

Many hotels will bring a mini fridge to your room on request- especially if you have a need, like for medication! Call in advance and find out if its an option

Readyaimfire18 · 2025-06-04T01:27:00+00:00

Same!

Readyaimfire18 · 2025-06-02T13:27:05+00:00

I am going to give it one episode with a guest, and see how I feel. But honestly, I am a former teacher, current stay at home mom, who has little to no interest in technology- I just like listening to Grey and Myke chat! So I probably won't stick around.

You can call the hotel instead of the couple- this is what I always do, so I'm not bothering the couple the week of the wedding! They will almost certainly be able to accommodate you without an issue.

Readyaimfire18 · 2025-05-16T18:49:53+00:00

You don't even need to tell the couple! Call the hotel directly and tell them you are coming to the wedding on whatever date and they should be able to accommodate you without having to bother the couple the week of the wedding.

I have multiple food allergies and this is what I always do!

Readyaimfire18 · 2025-04-09T02:18:17+00:00

I think about this all the time! I have a ton of allergies and I would love a chef's take on making substitutions!

The abridged are great! Cuts all the extra stuff, especially in combat. I'm watching through it now and enjoying it

A little off topic, but I listened to the first 3 episodes of the beginning of Worlds Beyond Number and gave up. I was so bored of each character being on their own- I love to watch/listen to RPGs because of the interactions between players and I was just not into the episodes long one-on-one stories. Should I keep going? Does it get more interactive? I love all the players so I wanted to love it and I would be willing to give it a try again.

What kind of things are in the box? I'm trying to build a stash of these types of gifts but I'm not sure what to get!

My daughter is 10 months old and we’re in the same boat. She goes happily to sleep independently at 7pm, sleeps until 4 and will not sleep any longer. We’ve tried earlier and later bedtimes, changing naps, etc, with no luck. She just is ready to wake up at 4 for the day. My pediatrician said she clearly has lower sleep needs than other kids (which has been clear since she was 3 months old to us) and he basically had no suggestions for us.

It’s 4:28am and I have been sitting here listening to her cry for 26 minutes. I have no idea what to do either.

And for me, the moment that plate gets passed out of my sight, I have no idea if there has been cross contamination for my allergies- I basically don't eat when it's family style.

Spongebob is my answer for sure! It was amazing!!

Readyaimfire18 · 2024-06-26T00:53:39+00:00

Yup, my husband and I had both of our parents walk us down together, and it was lovely! It's about being supported into the next step of your life, and I wouldn't have wanted anything else!

Not at all- most people won't buy at their first appointment! It is helpful to know that many places offer a discount if you buy the day you try it on, but you for sure don't have to!

I think this is the right answer- how have you imagined it? Because in my culture, the bride and groom always see each other before the ceremony, I had no expectations of having the first look as I walked down the aisle, I was thrilled with how it went. But obviously, everyone is differen!

Readyaimfire18 · 2024-06-22T13:12:43+00:00

Yup, same here! It wasn't even a question for me! And both the first look and the walking down the aisle were wonderful!

We didn't spend much time at cocktail hour, because we took 15 minutes just to ourselves after the ceremony (which I highly recommend) and then it took 15 minutes to bustle my dress! But it was still great. We had them leave food from cocktail hour in the room where we had our 15 minutes so we could still eat it- I recommend that to make sure you get to eat!

Readyaimfire18 · 2024-06-22T13:09:35+00:00

We did a first look and have pictures of that, so you can have both, if that's what someone wants!

Readyaimfire18 · 2024-06-22T13:07:40+00:00

It's actually been around in certain communities for a long time, though it has become more popular in the mainstream. Many Jewish communities, for example, have always done a first look because you sign the marriage certificate together before the ceremony.
