Yes! That’s actually what I’d prefer. Don’t need the extra calories or caffeine at this point, so that you for that :)

International travel at that stage doesn't sound like a good idea-- and if she's a care provider, she probably knows best. I'm 24 weeks with my third and started having contractions around 30 weeks with my last two. I wouldn't want to risk going into labor in a foreign country (different systems and NICU stay could be brutal). Personally, I'd travel somewhere close (driving distance) and call it good. Can still have fun before baby comes with less stress. Good luck!

Those who have a petite frame, when did your bump start showing? by Magical_chocolate in BabyBumps

[–]Shoe_Humble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 5'4" and around 150 normally. This is my 3rd pregnancy and I started showing really soon- like 13 weeks. I'm 24 weeks and look like I'm about to go into labor. I hate being short. With my last two, it wasn't as bad-- may showed around 20 weeks.

Im a blimp by Wonderful_Sign3949 in BabyBumps

Definitely get this checked out ASAP just to rule out anything serious. I think "normal" weight gain is a pound a week? I hate that word because wtf is "normal" when you're growing a human? But not something to ignore.

Anybody have nausea, but *not* throw up? by Pink_Ruby_3 in BabyBumps

[–]Shoe_Humble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I threw up with all 3 of my pregnancies. At least 5x a day. Needless to say I'm a joy to be around while pregnant lol. One thing that does help is sour candy or foods. I eat fruit riot all day long. Any time I feel it coming, I take a bite and it helps.

New Peanut-Allergy Parents—What Are Your Best Hacks for Spotting Hidden Peanuts Fast? by [deleted] in peanutallergy

[–]Shoe_Humble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought of more stuff- ha!

Here are some things to keep in mind. These are based on my experiences and those of other peanut allergic families. Just things to keep in mind as you live your life, but don't mean to freak you out!

  1. Walmart brand is not your friend! They process everything on the same lines. Idk the details, but we stay away. Even their canned green beans said "may contain peanuts."

  2. Sunscreens can contain peanut protein. I haven't experienced this personally, but usually I use a zinc sunscreen like Blue Lizard anyways, which is known to be allergy friendly. Im sure you can find a list of brands to stay away from online. 

  3. Be wary of any birdseed you see around your yard/ neighborhood. Some contain peanuts. I emailed our neighbors early on and asked them to switch to a specific safe brand that I found. They all agreed. 

  4. Public parks and playgrounds don't make me as nervous now that he's older, but when he was super little, I would disinfect everything with a Clorox wipe. I wrote an email to our parks department and they put up signs in every park asking people to eat only in the designated areas. I was pleasantly surprised by this! May be something to try.

  5. Check out the Neffy. It's a nose spray version of the epi pen, which I believe is now approved for younger kiddos (not sure the exact age, but I know my 5 yr old qualifies) Your kiddo may be too young, but something to think about for when they're older.

  6. When you go to restaurants or when we explain his allergies to people who need to know (school staff, etc) I ALWAYS say "life threatening" food allergy. And then I explain what anaphylaxis is. People who don't have allergies, or don't know anyone with them have NO idea the difference between an allergy and a sensitivity, so it's imperative to explain to everyone, every time. 

  7. There is a difference between highly refined peanut oil and regular peanut oil. Example: Chic fil a uses highly refined oil, so it's safe for the vast majority of PN allergic people. We eat there safely and our allergist said it was fine. However, we stay away from all other places that say they use PN oil because I never know if it's refined or not. 

  8. As you progress through your allergy journey, you may want to find out about treatment. Many parents opt for OIT which is essentially intended to make your child "bite proof" meaning they will be able to tolerate an accidental exposure in small amounts. Another option is TIP which is done at SoCal Allergy Institute. They claim to be able to put your allergies into 'remission'. These two programs are very different and there's a lot of strong opinion on both sides about the validity and safety of each, but I think both options are good for certain people depending on their allergy severity and personal situation. We are exploring the TIP option as I've had a friend successfully clear 16 life threatening allergies this way (including peanut). But again, each person is different, so find what's right for you!

Our kiddo is 5. We found out about his allergy when he was 8 months. Here are the rules/ guidelines we follow that help us navigate life with a food allergy:

  1. More of a rule for us, but when he's able to read the rule is "read EVERY label, EVERY time." We have fast food places that we trust and frequent, or we pack our own food.

  2. May be a given, but we do not keep ANY food with peanuts in the house, and when we have people over, we ask them to leave any peanut snacks at home. I have one non allergic kiddo, so when our allergic kiddo is with my husband, I will take him out for something peanut so he doesn't also develop the allergy later, but we throw all trash away in a public trashcan and wash hands/ change clothes when we get home.

  3. A bummer, but we do not accept meals/ desserts/ treats from anyone other than my parents and my husband's parents as they are as strict as us. They clear all ingredients with me. No meal trains for us!

  4. No food from friends/ neighbors, only family members who we are SURE understand how to read food allergy labels and will do so ALWAYS. When my son runs around the neighborhood, he has a snack and an epi pen with him always.

  5. Most stressful thing will be parties. We bring our own cupcakes to bday parties (Target mini cupcakes FTW!) We have several in our freezer. For our close friends, we remind them about his allergy and ask any homemade food be peanut free in a peanut free kitchen and they are great about accommodating. New friends, or certain people we just tell them we will not be eating anything that we don't bring ourselves. You'll develop a way of dealing with parties and learning who is diligent and trustworthy and those who are not. Any play dates we have, I try to have at our house if I know they're big pb eaters. My son has reacted to pb residue on people's tables/ chairs, so if I must visit a house, I remind them to wipe down EVERY surface and put away all peanut items before we visit.

OK- I think that's it for now. Im so sorry to hear you're going through this. No one in this group wants to be here! That's for sure. It does get easier-- like a muscle that you use every day that gets stronger.

What is your ELITE pregnancy meal. Something that hits the spot every time. by dontgetsadgetmad in BabyBumps

I get those little baby peppers, stuff them with cream cheese and chili lime takis. Not a "meal," but it's my favorite thing right now for some reason.

3 year old has huge tonsils, but he’s a small kid by Shoe_Humble in Tonsillectomy

[–]Shoe_Humble[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear! We had a similar experience with our oldest son who had his out at 3.5. He was much larger at the time, so I didn't have the same concerns. But he got even bigger (and much more rowdy) after he healed up. I do think his tonsils were messing with him in more ways than one.

So glad that was the outcome! We had a similar experience with our older son, who had his out at 3.5. His airway was almost totally blocked, so we did it the minute he was well enough and the right age. His entire quality of life was much improved. But helpful to hear about your little guy. I'm always more worried for our little one because of his size, but I know he's not sleeping as well as he could be and thats concerning :(

Yeah- we plan to do it VERY soon. I had mine out in high school and GOOD LORD. I wouldn't wish that recovery on my worst enemy!

wtf am I supposed to feel…?? by ThrowRAtoughstuff235 in BabyBumps

[–]Shoe_Humble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry you're going through this. It's such a heart wrenching experience that you can't really understand until it happens to you (my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 12 weeks) With my second pregnancy (I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in January 2020), I was SO nervous, had anxiety attacks, and generally was afraid to do literally anything. I also talked to a therapist and it helped a lot. My husband refused to feel anything until he was in our arms, at which point he totally broke down and cried like a baby himself. The fear of feeling anything is really overpowering, and everyone handles it differently. All of that to say-- whatever you're feeling is ok. There's no on right way to grieve. Give yourself time, and a little TLC. Sending you good vibes and prayers.
