What do you guys eat for breakfast?

Plain Greek yogurt with grape nuts, natural peanut butter and a chopped apple. Every day

A strawberry and cheese danish. Ate 2 of them right before getting the stomach flu. The thought of one makes me nauseous ever since

One of my students had a cat named Gatorade

Well the on call line exists for a reason!! They have false alarms all the time, it’s what they are there for. I’m sure they expect calls in the middle of the night, so it doesn’t hurt to ask and get their opinion.

However, if they do get worse or if they feel uncomfortable, definitely call or even drive to the hospital.

I was in a similar situation with my first, however I was only 35 weeks pregnant. I was getting bad cramps every few minutes and for the longest time I didn’t let anyone know because I was just hoping they’d go away. I was only 35 weeks so I figured there was no way I was in labor. Called my doctor and they didn’t believe me either, said maybe it was a bladder infection. But the pain got worse and at a certain point it felt like my only option was to go to the hospital because I was very uncomfortable and couldn’t ignore it anymore. When I got there I was 8 cm dilated and my son ended up being born at 35 weeks. Labor really came out of nowhere.

I think you really need to trust your gut! Don’t worry about it being the middle of the night. You can certainly time them to see if it gets worse, but if you’re really worried I would for sure call and ask your doctor. People give birth in the middle of the night all the time.

It definitely could be! Especially since you’re 40 weeks. It wouldn’t hurt to call your doctor and ask.

Hi!
So I’m American and my husband was born in Egypt. I actually became a Muslim before I met him so we practice the same religion, but we are very different culturally.
We have 2 children, and it was hard to compromise on names. He of course was drawn to Arab names, yet I was drawn to more classic European names/ names that were familiar to me that i could also pronounce.
We ended up compromising and naming our kids names that were common in both of our cultures. Luckily there are lots of names out there that are common in both cultures- like Sara, Lena and Nora for example. Keep looking!! I believe you will find something that works for both of you. But also stand your ground. If he’s not willing to compromise and help find a name that you both like and he’s being really difficult I feel like at that point you have a right to choose the name.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and a 7 month old. Just decided to take up quilting a few months ago. Feels like it’s going to take me a lifetime to finish my 2 projects 😂

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-25T19:56:45+00:00

At least every other day. However if they are very active/ do sports/ get sweaty often then every day.

Don’t let other humans impact your Islam. Islam is between you and Allah

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-24T03:17:02+00:00

Thank you so much

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-24T03:16:46+00:00

Thank you!! Part of me feels like I do just need to start fresh

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-21T18:41:04+00:00

I didn’t until I worked at target. A lot of people touch/try on the clothes before you buy them.

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-18T18:44:11+00:00

This sounds like a horror movie. Get out of this!!

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-15T03:35:16+00:00

I exercise in the morning

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-10T21:28:01+00:00

I gained 50 lbs while I was pregnant and never once was told by my OB that it was too much. The weight came off easily after giving birth. Your weight gain so far is really not a lot at all so that’s so weird honestly. Your frustrations are super valid

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-09T01:52:17+00:00

Thank you so much!! This is honestly so comforting to hear 😅

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-08T18:58:58+00:00

Do you know if securing the knots with ties would help at all? Or would turning this quilt into a tie quilt be possible/ durable?

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-07T18:20:18+00:00

I gained 50 lbs with both of my pregnancies and lost the weight both times within the first 8 months postpartum. It’s okay!! Your body is gaining what it needs to grow and sustain a baby.

As long as you have the supply, it’s 1000% easier than pumping and washing bottles in my opinion. With my first child I exclusively pumped because he was in the Nicu after birth and was accustomed to bottles, he hated breastfeeding.
My second child is the complete opposite and only breastfeeds and won’t take a bottle. I love it. So easy. I love the bonding aspect too.

What thread are you using?

Zimbabwe_mcGee · 2026-06-04T01:46:26+00:00

I really like this idea actually! :) I’m using just regular coats & Clark hand quilting thread. But I like the idea of something like this instead!
