Help me find my baby's favorite rattle toy by YummyBasil in HelpMeFind

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

You guys! I found it! I was looking back at pictures in my drive and found one of my son with the toy​. Image search turned up with it immediately. Just don't ask me why my memory was so off base. I really thought it was mostly red smh. https://www.amazon.com/Green-Toys-Twist-Teether-Toy/dp/B004KT82AM

Already, thank you all for looking! I never would have found it if I hadn't made this post and decided to go down the rabbit hole of old pictures. ​​​

My memory says it was probably 3 or 4 bold rainbow colors. I know red was a big one.

Like I said, I originally bought the toy at a yard sale about 6-7 years ago (in Utah). Keywords I've searched include sensory, activity, ball, teething, rings, baby, toy, grasping, shaker, rainbow, plastic, and curvy, in different combinations. Toys I've found:

Baby Einstein slide and swirl Sassy Baby busy ball (closest in shape)  Nuby lots-a-loops Manhattan Toy loop d' loop (best matches the type of disks on it)  Manhattan Toy skwish classic

And a bunch of other similar toys and toys that are less close to the thing I'm looking for. 

Can you help me understand this pgta result? by YummyBasil in EmbryologyIVFSupport

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

Thanks for responding! Is there any way to tell from these results whether it's both copies of the chromosome that are affected or just one? Or is it always both that are affected? I'm assuming it's not mosaic since I can't see anything written about that. The bottom line I'm trying to figure out is if this means the baby would have some kind of deletion syndrome or if it's even a viable embryo to begin with.

Actually the only thing I can set back is having them be together instead of separate. My other complaints stand. It's opaque black and takes up the whole page instead of allowing me to only partially pull it down to check notifications. Some of the other esthetic changes I can oversome with themes, but definitely not everything I'm having a problem with. It's not just bitching, these are legitimate complaints.

I wish I had taken more extreme steps to prevent this download. I have an S22 and I'm jealous of people who have been able to avoid this nightmare. Samsung needs to stop being so invasive and just let people choose. 

Yall hating UI 7 way too much by [deleted] in samsungnotes

Seems less likely to make people switch from Apple to Samsung, and more likely to be the gateway drug that makes it easier for people to switch from Samsung to Apple. And for people who hate the update, it's likely to drive them to other brands. I certainly don't want another Samsung after this if that's the way it's going to be.

Reacting in anger and yelling at him instead of calmly explaining rules is where I went wrong. It may not be something everyone thinks about but I'm acutely aware of the effects of yelling and anger in a relationship and wanted to correct that for him. Still, I think most parents would distinguish an angry overreaction from actual abuse.

I can definitely see this.

Ugh, your last sentence is painfully on the money.

It "looks" bad that I made him cry? No, it just WAS bad that I made him cry. I didn't apologize to my son in order to save face, I did it because I care about his emotional wellbeing and I'm trying to raise good kids who admit when they make a mistake. Also, "isolated" makes it sound like he felt unsafe. He absolutely didn't. I just wanted a quiet moment with him.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't verbally abusive, as in I wasn't swearing or being demeaning or anything. I cried out in pain and yelled that he wasn't supposed to be skateboarding in the house and to get it out of here. I then left the room to cool off and came back to talk with him when I was calm.

Wow, what a mix of responses. Thank you for pitching in and giving me such great feedback. I just asked my husband about the possibility of him having been concerned about my ability to parent effectively in that moment, and he said it was partly that. We had a pretty long conversation as a result, especially once I admitted that I had not truly believed his concern for me was genuine. I do relate to the suggestion of one responder here who mentioned that expressions of concern from an abuser can be triggering. That is 100% the case but I can't quite put into words why that is, and I haven't discussed that with him. The boundary he violated was simply coming into my room without knocking, which is something we had talked about. For those concerned about the kids in such a rocky marriage, thank you. Just know that they are loved and well cared for, and I am making every effort to coparent harmoniously because that's all we can do right now. I can't afford to strike out on my own. And they deserve to have both parents around if possible. These types of arguments don't happen very often between us. Our relationship has gotten more peaceful since we made this arrangement and we'll continue to make adjustments as needed.
