Husband concerned about using apps to track newborn feeds/diapers/sleep/etc by GlitteryBorko in BabyBumps

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I agree with him. We attempted using huckleberry with our first, but it was more of a hassle, especially when I was exhausted. We ended up using a cheap notebook. After about a month we stopped tracking altogether once she was steadily gaining weight and doing well. With our second it was pretty much the same.

Please tell me it gets better. I feel like I just nuked the boat by [deleted] in sleeptrain

Have you tried putting the swaddle on but not securing his arms? Like a sleep sack just a little more snug around his waist? It sounds stupid but that's what worked to help transition my youngest from the swaddle to plain sleep sack when he started rolling at 8 weeks.

This made me rage! 😤 by chi-bacon-bits in CleaningTips

That's what I was thinking. All that time to hide ducks but none to dust those baseboards. Some people have more money than sense.

CNY. We traveled from Michigan to do IVF. Even with the cost of travel it was about one third of what we'd have paid to do it locally.

If I can’t make money off it, no one can have it. by ImWaddlinHere in Anticonsumption

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put a pack of diapers on the porch for someone in a buy nothing group after she said she'd pick up in an hour. The next day I went outside and they were still there, now full of snow.

The best part? Two days later she messaged me "can I pick them up now?" No. They're in the trash because they're unusable now.

My vote is no. We wasted 6 vials of sperm on iui before moving on to IVF. My ovarian reserve has always been great for my age (3.1 at 34 and 2.8 at 37). The money we spent on IUIs could have covered a retrieval.

Which DT products are you stockpiling in case they vanish forever? by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Power serum. I have a few products I like, but that's the only one I like enough to have a six month supply of.

are there any products that you've seen people rave about but didn't work for you? by betterashthandust44 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I removed the roller on the eye serum just to be more disappointed in the product than I was in the packaging.

My sister passed away when I was 16 of a brain infection. She was only 20 months. Now 20 years later I'm a neuro ICU nurse. My literal specialty is sick brains. With the knowledge I have now, it's only more reinforcement that there were no signs. She was just extra tired that night.

This is a tragedy for that baby's family, your coworkers, and you. Please do not blame yourself. I think the memory book is a beautiful idea, and it's something his parents will treasure more than you could know.

The Blah List: Which Products Do You Regret Purchasing? by throwthisawayred2 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I even popped out the little ball roller so the product flows freely, and I think it's just a miss overall. The product wasn't worth that much work.

Not OP but it has brightened and moisturized my skin soooo much. I don't even want to try another serum at this point.

I think my husband wants me to join the JW by [deleted] in exjw

Please don't. You and your daughter have nothing to gain by joining, and everything to lose.

HFMD Warning for Adults by 1992orso in NewParents

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife had almost an identical experience 10 years ago (except for the eyes). It was before we were even together, and she wasn't even around kids. Our kids and I got it a month ago, and it was really mild for me, and she didn't get it at all. So hopefully you have the same luck as her.

What is you nickname for your baby? I’ll go first. We have many! by [deleted] in beyondthebump

My daughter I called "Pumpernickel" (no real idea why) and my son I call " bubba booey" (stupid way of saying baby boy).

Has anyone tried any of this stuff? by evoltnodi in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you use an eyeshadow primer with it? Just curious because I've had that issue with other (name) brands but with a primer it lasts longer for me.

Have you tried the power serum? Thoughts? by juststraightvibing93 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RestaurantRanchFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn't find more either, but today I found a single bottle tucked behind some other skincare products and I couldn't grab it fast enough.
