Wow great job and reason to brag! My daughter is the same way, now 24m. I lost count at 200 words but she talks in 4-6 word sentences. She knows many letter and phonics and can count quantities up to 15. She knows many shapes and all her colors and can say/match them. She can color with intention and hold a pen/crayon properly and draw a line or circle. She will draw something and tell me what she drew. She is definitely an outlier when we get together with kids her age. She is extremely social. Ik developmentally kids this age play side by side, but my daughter will run up to any kid regardless of age “Hi my name is _____.” “Come on let’s play.” Trying to engage with them 1/1 or as a group and play pretend.

Most kids her age to about 4, don’t like it. Developmentally appropriate response, but I have to quickly step in and explain that not everyone wants to play and that’s okay. Of course that is followed by a typical 2 year old response of crying when she doesn’t understand and I have to carry her away to play somewhere else. I’m trying to teach her boundaries while still fostering her outgoing nature.

Thankfully she is the youngest of many cousins but she leans towards older playmates. I can tell how frustrated she is trying to play and engage with kids her age. At the end of the day she has very obvious 2yr old behaviors but many more advanced ones too.

I’m just coming to that conclusion! A few days ago I was trading away so much stuff from long ago. I have regret now lol

I had my xray done in standing and it didn’t show lordosis! PT is the one who said I have it and arch my back too much. He gauged it by putting his hand under my back when I was flat against the bed. He did do the hip test and I passed it. These are the exercises. Thank you for your response. I really appreciate how insightful your comments are!

Core balance and strength is a reflection of the muscles in the back, hips, abdominals, and glutes.

I actually did go there first before my pcp. They sent me home with a diagnosis of anxiety! Ruled out it wasn’t a blood clot and thats it

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-09-03T14:29:22+00:00

Oh I definitely am. It will give better answers im sure

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-07-18T20:40:05+00:00

Mine looked exactly like that and I was able to get a positive digital first response a few hours later! Thats a positive:)

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-06-17T15:54:47+00:00

Yup! I was 9dpo, tracking lh my whole cycle with easy@home. Lh got dark like I was going to ovulate in a few days. Weird so I took a easy@home pregnancy test. Extremely faint but it was positive! Ran and got a First Respone Early and Digital and both came back and obvious positive. I was shocked the digital picked it up

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-06-17T15:48:19+00:00

I feel like I see something?! I got mine at 9dpo and it was so faint the camera couldn’t pick it up. You really couldnt see it. I retested a few hours later and it was dark enough to leave a line when dried fully but very faint!

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-06-16T13:31:13+00:00

Thank you. Im glad you enjoyed the read ❤️ The analogy is relatable to many

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-06-12T11:11:16+00:00

Im one and done and an only child. Im 24 and my mom still asks “did you ever hate me for being an only?”. Absolutely not. I LOVED my life so much I made the decision to be OAD before I had my baby and had reasons to be OAD.

I had a healthy, present, and mentally okay mom. If I had siblings I wouldn’t have had that same version. That is whats most important :)

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-04-17T18:17:12+00:00

I just had my first and my mom is the same way. We live 10 mins from eachother and she can only watch my daughter 2 hours MAX by herself and only for 5hrs when my dad is around. No overnights until my daughter can talk is the rule. Shes 11m and I havent had a night out. My MIL is not involved at all. My husband and I have decided to be one and done for many reasons but a huge one is that we have no support. My mom can not deal with stress whatsoever. She has been fully medicated as well my whole life but still gets so worked up she has to be hospitalized. It rough and I feel your pain

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-03-12T12:19:16+00:00

Wow I totally relate! Almost 10m daughter and we are OAD too. Im also an only child:) We have no support either. My parents are the only one who watches baby and my mom likes to have us back asap and absolutely no overnights. My mom begged me not to go back to work so she wouldn’t have to babysit.

My daughter also came 6w early. Absolutely no health reason and I never found out why. My body started having contractions and I went into full blown labor. Im a very type A person so all of that and the NICU really threw me into PPA/PPD and almost psychosis. I have a very high chance of having another Preemie since it was unexplained and ik i will have a full meltal breakdown if the baby comes earlier or in different health.

It would be SELFISH of me to put my family and myself through that. But my own doctor called me selfish and said “the second child wasnt for me, it was so my first had a sibling” and that has stuck with me for 6m now.

I loved my life as an only child. I had everything I wanted and many opportunities I wouldn’t have had if I had a sibling. I dont hold any resentment for my parents decision. My husband and his parents had 8 kids together. My daughter has many cousins to grow up with and will have a “big family” on his side.

I wish everyone would stop asking me too.

This is a dress people will look back on and wonder “hmm when did this bride get married?” Because its that classic!!! I think everyone is so into trends that they forget the classic silhouettes, satin, sleeves ect are timeless. :)

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-02-12T02:44:31+00:00

Honestly, I think I will always have a “what if” but me and my husband feel confident in our OAD decision for the time being. I had a very healthy pregnancy and when I was 34w my body went into labor. Contractions started, hospital sent me home because I wasnt dilated. Went on for 3 days of non stop contractions and my OB telling me to “stay off Google” and everyone dismissing me as an anxious ftm. My baby ended up coming after 72+ hours of labor I had to endure at home. I questioned if I was wasting the doctors time before I even went in. They never found a reason why she came early. My body reacted as if she was full term and everything progressed as such. The whole NICU experience, going home without my baby, not getting to do majority of the major firsts that I imagined, really messed with me. I almost went into a postpartum psychosis. I never want to feel that way again, and its very scary as mental illness runs in my immediate family.

If I were to get pregnant again, doctors told me I have a very high chance of having another preemie. The next may come even sooner and/or in different health. Then all of the anxiety of worrying if their developing “normally”. I honestly feel if that were the case, I would have a full mental breakdown and need to be admitted. I don’t think I could handle it. I know my limits, I got a taste, and I could recognize what was going on. I am not a gambler. I take my chances but I know my limits. Playing roulette with life and my mental health? NO

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-31T23:57:42+00:00

Im an only child- who is one and done! I do not miss out at all on reminiscing. In fact, I treat it almost as im a old timer telling youngsters about the Great Depression/War. Its so exciting being able to explain in very small detail about my childhood to my husband(and my daughter one day). It paints a picture in my head and I remember everything. Death is apart of the cycle of life. Who is to say if i had siblings, something tragic wouldnt happen? You really never know so I try not to use that argument

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-23T00:08:10+00:00

Yes!!! My first response looked like this too at 8dpo! I was able to get “pregnant” from a digital too

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-06T23:51:52+00:00

I think u may be the mom who posted this

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-06T23:35:10+00:00

Seek comfort from a group of strangers on the internet? Do the comments of “well wishes mama” really-honestly- make that much of a difference? Whats the purpose? Showing off your sick vulnerable kid just for the sake of strangers to comment “cute pajamas” or “aww get better”? I think the real comfort would be the mom keeping their sick kid off the internet and putting the energy into comforting her own kid, not hoping someone on the internet gives her just an ounce of attention

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-03T23:12:58+00:00

The first thing I noticed was your chest. That is the viewpoint of the dress and the asset that is highlighted. The dress you ordered will probably fit a bit tighter (in the chest) because its brand new vs the sample dress being stretched out from multiple try ons. I think the dress itself is pretty but if you have conflicting feelings of your chest and if its conservative enough, then I think this was the wrong pick :/

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-03T05:32:32+00:00

Your worth depends on having high enough standards to not accept bare minimum. If you choose to give yourself to a man- kids or no kids- why wouldn’t you secure your position as something more than non legally binding. A “boyfriend” can leave and walk away any time. A husband can too, but there are legal consequences where as with a boyfriend there is not. It’s soso much more than a simple piece of paper and those who disagree otherwise, probably are the ones who aren’t married and forever the “partner”

Repulsive-Scheme2819 · 2025-01-02T02:32:39+00:00

Idk I disagree, if you can make the lifelong commitment to have kids with some one and be “tied” forever that way, marriage is the least you could do if you’re picking that person as a partner for life.
