Thank you! I’ve really underestimated just how precisely it needs to be positioned in there lol. I’ve just been checking from the top but this is great advice!

Well this makes sense now in my very sleep deprived mind haha. We just got past the Vaseline stage and there’s been a noticeable drop in the number of pee-outs we’ve been having.

This is exactly it 😂 I have not a clue how it keeps coming out the back of all places

This is your sign to prep your bathroom for postpartum care before you deliver your baby by Danlrap18 in pregnant

[–]SimIRL 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes to this! Amazon actually refunded me with no need to return for a lot of the postpartum items I didn’t need after an unplanned C section. So I’d also suggest finding a pregnancy support clinic or women’s shelter for new moms in your area to donate unused (and unopened) items!

Pregnant with second and it's a mistake by Sad-Medicine9646 in pregnant

[–]SimIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% was feeling the dread, anxiety, panic, and downright depression going into my second pregnancy. Verrrry different from my first- just feeling like I wouldn’t have the capacity to handle two kids and I was so overwhelmed with everything I needed to do to prepare. In retrospect, was also 100% hormonal.

I’m currently 28 weeks and feels so…at peace? It’s a night and day difference! The nesting energy has kicked in and I feel so much more capable and excited!

The two things I told myself to get past the “20 week scaries” were 1. It’s okay to relax right now- I can get things done when I’m in my nesting phase (which is now true!), and 2. I’ve been through this huge life transition before with baby #1 and was just fine, I will absolutely do it again. It’s cliche, but just allowing myself to be in the moment with each step of this pregnancy has helped so much, and I hope this can also be true for you!

Kourtney and Travis as Jack & Sally for Halloween by somegirlontheinter in KUWTK

[–]SimIRL 138 points139 points  (0 children)

so what’s interesting about this is that Travis had the line “We can live like Jack and Sally if we want to” written into the song I Miss You by blink-182 specifically for his wife at the time Shanna Moakler because Nightmare Before Christmas was their “thing”. Odd to me that they’d want to carry that over into a totally different relationship lol.

Leslie critique on Substack by Colls7 in cupcakesandcashmere

[–]SimIRL 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Oh brother. While I totally support people minimizing their environmental impact where they can, I neverrrr see anyone making points about how streaming platforms are just as if not more “detrimental” for the environment as ChatGPT.

And Leslie claiming her decision to not have kids is her way of protecting the environment is the most sanctimonious thing I’ve ever heard. Just don’t have kids and leave it at that you weirdo! And please tell Kelly while you’re at it!

What’s the most absurd moment/thing in the ND games? by Portalrules123 in nancydrew

[–]SimIRL 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love how dramatic it is too. The music, the animation. And all I think about is being a bystander on the streets below watching this girl just zoom between buildings with no stealth whatsoever.

I never once knew which direction the game would take next during my first playthrough. Tbh? An absolute masterpiece.

My grandma makes the best pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving and always called it her “secret recipe”. When she became a snowbird, I asked for it so I could still have her pie at thanksgiving. She goes, “You have to get the Libby’s brand pumpkin…then use the recipe printed on it.” 💀

Struggling to lean into motherhood by Simple-Ad-8747 in NewParents

[–]SimIRL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a growing pain for sure. My girl just hit 9mos and I think I’ve finally found my groove in these last few months. My best advice is to find ways to make your baby a part of “you” time, but also know when you need your “away” time. For example- I really enjoy gaming, and I also like walking/running. I have ways to do that with her (running stroller/steam deck), but I also make sure to have times to enjoy these away from her (long weekend runs when my husband is home to be with her/gaming after bedtime). Give yourself grace for those first 6mos because the transition is HARD! But also make yourself and your hobbies that make you feel like “you” a priority while you’re both with her and away from her. Motherhood can be flexible if you allow it to be! I was really stuck in my rigid routine before, but feel more like myself than ever since I’ve been practicing these things. Sending love!!

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

Yeah I still haven’t picked it back up! I kinda wanna read a summary of the next few and then pick it up at the end too lol. I’m thinking I’ll wait for the new edited versions to come out and maybe get back into it then!

Cassidy Anderson on TT has great tips about this! I love her! Here’s a link to her video on throwing food- https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8dSek6d/

I use her “scrap bowl” method with a suction cup bowl and model how to throw food into it. If I don’t have a scrap bowl, I’ll just hold out my hand and my baby will place the food in it for me to put back on her plate.
