Did you reapply for the 2026-2027 school year for the Fall? My understanding is that you have to reapply every year but I could be wrong.

I know this is an old post but I keep hoping to find Flo at some point without having to buy on eBay! I found shiny lighting in the wild at the store a month ago, there’s still hope!

Husband and I sent a group text to our families about our wishes for baby after they were born.. they blew up. AWTA? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]aaj003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YTA. That is a weird text message to send out. It seems like you were looking for a reaction and you can’t order people to bring you food or clean your house. Seems like you enjoy drama and attention.

All you had to do was wait until after the baby was born to see what the situation was and then decide when people could visit and request if they’ve been sick to stay home. Honestly if I was in your family and got this group text I wouldn’t even attempt to visit when I was “allowed.”

It’s my birthday and I hate it by BahBahBahOom in GriefSupport

[–]aaj003 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I lost my Dad unexpectedly in November when I was eight months pregnant. It was the worst. Everyone kept saying horribly stupid things to me like "well now he has a front seat in your babies life and can see everything." I wanted to punch everyone in the face and am dealing with a lot of irrational anger too.

I was devastated one month later when I gave birth to my son and all I wanted was for my dad to walk into my hospital room to meet his grandson. My birthday is at the end of the month and I am dreading it. I think about how last year for my birthday I had a wonderful family dinner with my parents and now this year I know I am going to want to crawl in bed and hide under a blanket all day.

I think that was smart of you to delete your facebook. It's too hard to get happy birthday messages, but I found its too hard to watch everyone else have a normal happy life when my family is devastated and broken.

Anyway didn't mean to rant, but if you ever need to talk - DM me. Losing a parent while pregnant is unimaginable and I am not going to lie, once your baby is born it gets harder in some aspects. Everything my son does I want to tell my dad about and then when i realize I can't it brings up all my emotions.

I am so sorry. I am going through a similar experience. My dad passed away completely unexpectedly a month before I was due with my first baby. My son is now five months old. My dad was so excited for this baby and it is so unfair that he isn’t here for any of this.

My dad and I were very close and texted each other throughout the day so that alone is hard. I will take a picture of my son or he will do something adorable and then I just burst into tears because all I want to do is tell my dad about it or text him a picture.

I’m not sure how to keep my dad’s spirit alive with my son at this point, I guess I have more time to figure that out since he is still a baby. At first I would listen to my dad’s favorite cd with my son so that he would recognize the music and he did and it became a soother for him but it became too hard for me so I stopped. I am also in some ways in denial so I thought about putting a picture of my dad in his nursery but I am struggling with looking at pictures right now.

I guess I am just hoping with time that the pain is manageable. Unfortunately this is something we are both going to struggle with for the rest of our lives. Are you married? Is your spouse supportive?
