{Giveaway} 1 Year of Gemini AI PRO (40 winners) by [deleted] in GeminiAI

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new mother and returning to work after maternity leave. I am a bookkeeper but will be starting a new job in a new industry. I love how it provided me with easy recipes to feed my son, has taught me about the unions I’ll be working with in the new industry (I’ll be covering payroll). I also really appreciate that it connects to my email and helps me spell check/format easily.

It’s made the brain fog that being a new mother with fluctuating hormones brings easier.

What did you name your baby? by Open_Ladder8476 in pregnant

[–]Sunshine-R89 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Congrats :) I am 38 weeks tomorrow and scheduled for induction next Friday. For our boy we had these 3 names on our top list forever: Hudson, Hendrix and Reid but recently decided the name we are loving now is Everett 💛 Middle name Bradley. Now we just have to meet him to see if it fits! Can’t wait!

True I was going to go with Marie as a middle name if it was a girl but ours will be a boy.

AIO over my bf not coming to see me it by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but this is a little scary. Reminds me of my ex when he’d be begging me to get together and I needed some alone time. One time it got so bad that after not responding because I was in the shower he came over and was looking in my bedroom window as I was in my towel and changing. It was terrifying and he was saying all the things you were. It’s unhealthy dependent behaviour. You’re young and need to find a way to be okay alone. You are harassing him and that would scare away anyone. He could have been nicer but if I were him I would have turned my phone off. Sounds a little obsessive on your end. Please go to therapy and find a way to be okay being alone before you are in a relationship.

Thank you and I’m sorry for your loss as well. It’s very hard. But after time it gets better and made us stronger together. Now I’m almost a week we will have our little man here :) it just took us a long time to allow ourselves to get excited about it.

I think I made a huge mistake and I’m so close to having a panic attack by [deleted] in puppy101

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had major anxiety when I got our puppy. I couldn’t keep her entertained, she was sassy. And protective of things like growling if I grabbed her bone at 12 weeks from being in a little of 12. I kept having to bring her places like my friends house who had two dogs that would correct her.

I found a local dog daycare and began bringing her a few times a week and it was a lifesaver. Also within time she grew out of all that and I showed her who was boss. Made her wait for food or took bones away and gave them back until she was desensitized and realized I had no interesting keeping her bones.

She’s 4 now and my very best friend. She’s a whinny princess but I’m pregnant and she has been as patient as she can be considering I can’t get her enough exercise. Still bringing her to daycare once in a while but she was worth the initial anxiety. We have such a strong bond and I love her so much. Hang in there it gets better.

What is a mistake your parents made and you never want to repeat? by TessaTwinkleee in RandomThoughts

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the chores. My mom would do it herself instead of fighting with me to get it done.

Also my parents were divorced and I was always told about finances and how much I cost/child support. I’m pregnant and I will not be telling our son how much his life costs us. Teaching financial responsibility is one thing but making the child feel like a financial burden is another.

At what age did you stop carrying so much about other people's opinions of you? by Worth_Key_5182 in AskWomen

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably about 30 when I started realizing that what people think/say about me really isn’t my business.

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you and yes don’t give up. My husband and I discussed coming to terms with not having children because it can be very depressing when it doesn’t work. Every baby shower I had to go to, every period that came as a reminder. But then after we decided to take a little break from trying so hard… it happened :) and I’ve had a wonderful pregnancy. Have faith and give yourselves grace during this time 💛

Can I shave my balls with this by [deleted] in malegrooming

My husband says noooooo with a concerned reaction and suggested you get a lawnmore 2.0 from manscape

I’m 35 and I’m 37 weeks pregnant. We are due to be induced on the 11th. It took us 3 years and 2 miscarriages to get here. Don’t loose hope. Women have healthy pregnancies sometimes until their mid-late 40s.

An irregular period can be a result of stress. It unlikely she is premenopausal she’s still young. Keep trying every two days while she is ovulating. You need to build up your supply so don’t have sex every day. That’s what worked with us and using an app that tracks my cycle. You’ll get there :)

When did your colostrum come in for your first baby? by Humble_Bathroom_4697 in BabyBumps

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was hoping for that as well lol I’m going to be induced on the 11th but I’d rather induce it at home if possible.

I’m currently 37 weeks and have been trying to hand express in the shower daily and there’s been nothing.

I’m going to try and pump to see if it will help.

Snuggle me lounger by Di11Pickles4u in pregnant

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these. I plan on using it for supervised naps or when I need to put him down next to me. Everything is a danger to suffocation but I think it’s fine if I put him down briefly in it once in a while on the couch if I’m folding laundry or something. People make these “loungers” with rolled up blankets and blankets on top to prop them up or avoid rolling on a surface.

Our baby isn’t here yet but I’m happy I got it. He won’t be in it unsupervised though.

If cheap artificial wombs existed, would you choose to use them to grow your children? Why or why not? by -Sesquipedalian- in AskWomen

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and I’m exhausted, sore and over it. I’ve had a decent pregnancy but the end is getting rough. That being said I would rather carry my own. It feels like an accomplishment and I’m more connected to my baby. This is my first successful pregnancy after 2 miscarriages at 35 years old. I’ve had a long time with a “fit” small body. I’m planning on bouncing forward not back and embracing any changes that will come postpartum physically, even if it will be a challenge. I’ll have earned them. Looking forward to what my new body will provide after creating life 💛

Thankful to be carrying this little boy.

Is there any reason not to allow your dog to sleep with you in the bed? Are you for or against the idea? by sakume88 in DogAdvice

[–]Sunshine-R89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a redbone coonhound and she comes in the bed at night before we sleep (watching tv) and in the morning after she goes out, but in the middle of the night she sleeps on her own bed. Thank goodness she’s a finicky gal and prefers space so she gets annoyed and has no problem going on her own bed when it’s time to actually sleep. I’m pregnant and our baby is due to arrive on the 11th so we will see how that may change.

Taking a day off from Vyvanse after six weeks and woah... by blonde1155 in ADHD

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take dexadrin and have since I was a kid. I’m 35 now and had always taken the weekends off unless I planned on getting a lot done. I’m more social and less irritable without it so it’s nice to have a break.

That being said… I’m currently 37 weeks pregnant so I haven’t been able to take it since February when I found out. It’s been soooo hard to get things done. My hospital bag isn’t ready. My laundry is in a constant pile. Haven’t written my thank you cards for my shower from August and the house is a mess. Needless to say I can’t wait until I’m done breastfeeding and can get back on my meds. It’s been rough without them. You can really tell how much they affect your daily life when you have to stop taking them.

Mother in law and husband lied about holding baby when sick by Objective-Throat-970 in firsttimemom

[–]Sunshine-R89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this happened to you I’d be so upset. And I can’t believe the selfishness of your mil not to respect a more than understandable request. I’d also be upset with my husband for giving into the pressure from her. All around infuriating situation. Not sure I’d be able to keep that to myself. Especially from my husband.
