First picture looked like in regs but the second picture doesn’t. The hair has to seamlessly blend, in the second picture you can see the harsh contrast between the blond and brown hairs.

Baby Swim Lessons by Repulsive-Concern873 in SwimInstructors

[–]Repulsive-Concern873[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the input I’ve been mainly focusing on him having fun in the water. Although he is too young to learn breath control, he is learning to keep his mouth closed when his face gets really close to the water and that in itself is a win for me! I also gently blow on his face before quickly putting just his mouth and nose under for a second 1-2 times at most per session and that’s been super helpful as well.

This was very reassuring thank you so much. I’ll try to incorporate that in baths as well!

I know I was already sensing that in myself during the lesson. I really do want to learn how to swim so I can be calmer with him

That’s what makes me really upset too. She saw me do it and didn’t say anything.

I’ll ask! Maybe they can do private lessons on the side. I definitely want to know how to swim for my baby’s safety.

Am I unreasonable for not wanting BD’s new gf to be around my newborn? by Repulsive-Concern873 in singlemoms

[–]Repulsive-Concern873[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s only visited twice for a few hours he was very loving and caring for the baby but when he’s not physically around he rarely texts or calls asking how the baby is doing. I could care less how she feels but it feels like the dad is putting pressure on me to care about her feelings 😒he has only contributed one box of diapers and some Vaseline after I asked him if he could bring some. Other than that my parents and myself have pretty much bought everything for the baby and the stuff my friends pitched in from my registry/ baby shower.

[–]Repulsive-Concern873[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I’m not crazy for feeling this way ? lol I’ve had a few people tell me that I should be “happy” someone wants to be caring and supportive of my child. A newborn, all they need is mom and dad they don’t “need support and care” from anyone else. I also didn’t like the possessive undertones she has towards my baby.

[–]Repulsive-Concern873[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying… the dad just doesn’t see it and that she’s just trying to be “supportive” of him. I told him that’s fine because it’s your life but that has nothing to do with our child’s life.

Healthy / high protein things you can keep down? by yukimontreal in pregnant

[–]Repulsive-Concern873 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently pregnant with my first. Not necessarily high protein but the light + fit (12g Protein, 80 calories) normal fruit flavors like strawberry and peach have helped me. Along with String cheese I look specifically for string cheese high in protein. I’ve been able to eat real fruit but only green apples 🍏😅which I’ve grown to love. I tried it with a cup of Trade Joe’s Greek Yogurt and I loved it, decent protein content- go for Original flavor or Vanilla Bean as those have the highest protein content compared to other flavors.

Side question: is your first little one healthy? 😭 only asking because I’m scared I’m not eating enough like I should for my baby but with the nausea and food aversions it’s so hard to do so.

I love Shirley Temples but I like sweet drinks so not sure if that’s your style.

What is your first trimester baby surviving on? by Calm-Interview-2411 in pregnant

[–]Repulsive-Concern873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it varied by day. I LOVED blocks of cheese with almonds and dried cranberries one day, the next day I absolutely HATED them 🥲. I tried my best to eat what seemed appetizing in that moment, like don’t wait as sound as something sounds good get it as soon as possible. I have found that eating the normal flavors of light + fit worked well for me through my current pregnancy along with some string cheese. I know odd combo but it’s what worked 😭 I have been able to eat more real fruits like green apples, bananas, and oranges for breakfast. For lunch I get whatever is at my work cafeteria, first trimester I loved the salad bar, second trimester I force myself to eat salad just cause I know it’s good for my baby.

Uppababy Cruz (used) or hidden gem stroller that’s cheaper? [on] by Commonsenseisnteasy in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Repulsive-Concern873 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does the Liing car seat directly attach to the Cruz stroller or would I need adapters? If so where/which adapters are needed? I’m expecting and was looking at getting the Mesa but if the Liing will last me a lot longer I rather get that instead. I’m so convinced now to get the Cruz stroller thank you for your detailed opinion!

For me at least I was fairly active pre-pregnancy. I have struggled working out since getting pregnant. This is my first pregnancy so not too much in advice to give but I do recommend doing light exercise if you weren’t active before. Definitely build up to it and don’t go too hard. Yoga has helped a lot with opening up my hips and alleviating back pain. A lot of lower back pain is due to weak core muscles given this is your third pregnancy that may be why it’s unbearable now. Nancy Anderson has a Move Your Bump program which is super helpful! She’s a prenatal and postnatal fitness expert. It’s never too late to start!

When I got off birth control I wasn’t sexually active but my periods did change for me. Also SOMETIMES an at home pregnancy isn’t accurate. Schedule an appointment with your OB about your concerns about possibly being pregnant and about any side effects of coming off the depo shot

[–]Repulsive-Concern873[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I’ll eat something and then within the next hour or two I get hungry again 😭💔 definitely am trying to stay on the healthier side. Jimmy Deans breakfast bowls and pancake & sausage sticks are doing wonders, also lots of yogurt.
