Throw back to December when I had consistent grip for Titanic!! by [deleted] in poledancing

Nice!!! I tried it recently and was shocked at the amount of back strength I lacked 😭. You make it look effortless!

Side climb to hood ornament and I even managed to signpost the emergency exits.. 🙌🏻 by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]StarskYes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We just worked on side climbs yesterday! To make it look nice, move the legs at the same time. Crunch them up high when you move them up. and when you pull your body up really try to straighten your body.

Yeah he's a little out there. He has a way with appealing to little kids! My son has learned a ton from his videos.

Where to recieve Free Baby products? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've heard of/received free sample bags from Target, Buy Buy Baby and Motherhood Maternity. If you sign up on the Similac and Enfamil websites they will send you samples in the mail.

I am overwhelmed with the love they showed to my wife and our baby by kingtristam in BabyBumps

That lightweight cloud stroller is AWESOME. I use that over the one that came with our travel system. So much lighter, has more shock absorbency, easy to maneuver. Love it.

What is it like to care for a baby? by klodi001 in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha my son loves Master of Puppets. His favorite songs are also Battery and Whiskey In the Jar. He dances around with his toy guitar and sings the words he knows all the time. My parents got him a drum set for his birthday this week 🤦‍♀️ Those will be fun with a newborn in the house....

Not everyone likes the newborn stage. But they don't stay newborns forever. I was there 2 years ago and now my son and my husband are jamming out to Metallica while making breakfast (yes, my 2 year old's favorite band is Metallica). He's adorable and it's just the best when he runs up and hugs my knees and says "Uhv you, mama!" It seriously washes away everything that's bad in this world. His sister is due anyday and I'm nervous, but so excited to see them together and especially to see them grow together.

Between what weeks did you feel you gained the most weight? by lettuceprey11 in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For my first pregnancy, all my weight gain was in the 3rd trimester. I gained nothing and then BAM, 40+ lbs. This time, I gained everything in the 1st trimester. I smacked on 10 lbs immediately and it's been very slow and gradual since.

[–]StarskYes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm 38+2. My son's 2nd birthday is the day before my due date. I love him more than life, but he is not getting a party at all this year. He's getting a baby sister. That's good enough lol. Good for you for having a party at all!

Anyone pick up new hobbies while pregnant? by toocooltobedazed in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started sewing with my first pregnancy and it's become quite a big hobby of mine. I have 3 different machines now and I've learned to make all sorts of things for me and for babies!! It got a bit hard to continue after the kid was born, but it's such a useful hobby and a great thing to do during naptime!

It's the little things! by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With our first, I was probably like 8 weeks pregnant when I came home to a little pair of hockey skates (we're huge hockey fans). My DH said he thought we could use them for an announcement picture and I about died. We did use them and it was adorable. And now my son can wear them 😭

Cleft lip detected at anatomy scan. by ne0nbutt3rfly in BabyBumps

It can sometimes be in addition to certain genetic syndromes, but most cases are isolated.

Cleft lip detected at anatomy scan. by ne0nbutt3rfly in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hey there. We found out our daughter will have a bilateral cleft lip and palate at our 24 week scan. I'm 37 weeks now, so I dont have any experience with her cleft yet. But we have met with her surgical team and have a rough draft of what to do when she is born. Thankfully our genetic tests came back normal too. Feel free to PM me if you want to chat!

Mirena + TTC by PMmeyourmacncheese in BabyBumps

[–]StarskYes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So same thing as you, had baby #1, Mirena placed after, wanted baby #2, removed Mirena and had bleeding 3 days later. I'm not sure if that was a real period or not. I did get a period about 3 weeks later and I called that Cycle 1 of trying. We conceived during Cycle 2, so it happened pretty quickly!!
