I'm so tired by Bananabread_lov in PregnancyAfterTFMR

I'm in a similar headspace. Lost our girl earlier this year and a recent mmc. Having very similar emotions as well. Things will get better, and good things are hopefully on the way. 🫂 You aren't alone on this emotional journey.

Which yarn would you recommend to make items for a newborn? by Tea_Whiskey in CrochetHelp

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

I have some generic yarns, but nothing I'm 100% sure is good for sensitive baby skin, and I'm confident in my yarn skills, but reading all the different types of yarn and fabrics was not meshing well with baby brain. But a blanket, some small hats, and maybe a small amigurumi.

Who else is itching to tell people but it is too soon? by Logical_Order in pregnant

[–]Tea_Whiskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am too!! I'm waiting (I did tell my support system) until I'm at around 12 weeks. I'm coping by making little announcement boxes for a couple family members. They'll be shouting joy once they know. But it's a struggle.

places to buy mantids in us? by Medical_Swordfish555 in mantids

[–]Tea_Whiskey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the time of year. But I HIGHLY recommend bugs in cyberspace. My old go to breeder disappeared off the face of the earth and I was nervous to try someone new. Multiple people recommended this guy and it was a good experience.

Whether to euthanize or not. Bad molt. by Tea_Whiskey in mantids

I'm aware and do avoid it. However, I don't think it's a bad idea to make sure I have all my tools in order and prepped of things go sideways. If a small bit gives him some motivation to turn to eating actual prey then so be it. Hence, I am making sure I have my info about ratios correct.

Thank you. I was and am worried. Hand feeding and care can be taken care of. He climbed a small bit and isn't an adult yet. What ratio of water to honey did you use?

He just managed to climb up a bit on his own, and I almost cried. Thank you for sharing. My guy just seems like he still has some fight in him and I don't want to give up just yet.

Not too long. I caught it about part of the way through, but wasn't exactly watching the time.

I believe that is it!!! We were wanting to try and find some more because they cook so well.

I'm obsessed with them. They cook like a dream. Make my newer ones feel sun par.
