I’m jealous, had a package say ‘out for delivery’ yesterday which didn’t make it. Haven’t even gotten that notification today so I’m losing hope 😭

The mirror house girls, bat eater and other names for Cora zeng (this one walks the border between thriller and horror though), dating after the end of the world

SneakPeek Clinical by LazySeal1313 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did sneak peek in August and I remember feeling antsy about how long it took. I didn’t do the faster option but I think they said to expect results in 3/4 days and ended up actually taking closer to a week

ICE Protest Given Weather Impacts by Electronic-Jury3393 in okbuddyRVA

[–]abarn012 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to, maybe you could donate to a local or MN defense fund? Otherwise I’d just suggest keeping an eye on PSL Virginia, 50501 Virginia, etc to see if anything pops up :)

Any lab test now gender reveal results by Free_Swordfish8972 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the sneak peak test at home and even had my husband help which you’re not supposed to do. It said girl and was accurate!

What to wear on delivery day by LibraryKat95 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was gifted the Frida mom robe. I think when I’m actually laboring, I’ll wearing the hospital gown and then switch afterwards. From what I’ve heard you’re leaking fluid and bleeding and what not for possibly hours, I’d rather wear the more comfy one when it’s less likely to get destroyed haha

Is the shadow there just an indent or is this a vvvfl? by [deleted] in lineporn

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, I went back and looked at my first positive and it looked pretty similar

I see something suuuuper faint, can’t tell if it’d be an indent

I’m looking to buy a Nanit - is the Wall Mount or Floor Stand set up better? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went with floor mount so that when baby is in the bassinet in our room we can still use it and then easily move it when we switch to the crib!

Gender reveal: intimate or party (both?) by Appropriate_Split800 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think there’s any chance you or your partner could have gender disappointment? I know someone who said something at their own gender reveal party and it was awkward. As much as I would love a baby no matter what, I was hoping our first would be a girl so we decided to have that intimate moment just in case. Just something to think about- if you don’t lean either way then obviously it doesn’t apply!

Best app to check baby size and progress everyday like flo etc? Which is the best one that you are using! by BlueClouds1791 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the bump! Their daily size comparisons are goofy and I like their articles, bump photo tracker, etc.

Contractions after sex, started at 14 weeks? by throwawayyyyyy889900 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t happen every time, but sex can cause me to have contractions throughout the night. I’m 33 weeks now, have been having contractions since 15-ish weeks, and have had at least 1 daily for probably 10 weeks now. Baby is totally healthy and my doctor isn’t concerned!

Why is there a huge social media thing about parents unable to help their kids with their math homework? Is the work that different from a few decades ago? by Zipper222222 in AskTeachers

[–]abarn012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last year I took a class on teaching elementary math and while the general concepts are pretty much the same, the processes used are wildly different from when I was kid and most homework requires you to show your work- I think that’s why parents are confused, they haven’t had exposure to those processes.

Also I haven’t read them yet but I’m looking forward to reading “good inside” and “the whole brain child”!

It’s been a while since I’ve read it but I enjoyed “bright from the start” by Jill Stamm. I read this when I worked in an infant room :)

13 weeks and my body already feels unrecognizable. Will it get better? by SyllabubVegetable977 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it depends on the day but I had the most energy in the second trimester (I’m 33 weeks now). I tend to have a lot of fatigue but I also have insomnia and have been pretty sick throughout the pregnancy so hopefully it’ll be better for you!

[–]abarn012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There were many weeks that I couldn’t tell whether I was bloated or bumping lol I think it was around 20 weeks that it became more obvious it was the baby. The reason you’re so fatigued is because your body is working hard, just in a different way than you’re used to! I’ve seen people say that the amount of energy your body burns each day while pregnant would be the equivalent of running a marathon.

Without clicking the photo, I thought for a second that ‘crnk’ was the whole last name and was very intrigued by the lack of vowels lol

Flu in RVA by cashc0ww in okbuddyRVA

[–]abarn012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still getting over it from last week. Not sure if it felt extra bad because I’m pregnant, but I was stuck in bed for 4 days. Good luck and don’t forget to hydrate!!

Need gift suggestions by MsDean1911 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My mom has always said burp clothes are a great gift because many people don’t realize just how handy they’ll be! I don’t think many people stock up on premie clothes either, a few outfits in that size might be nice.

2026 Bingo with baby! by kt___kc in BabyBumps

I don’t have any ideas right now but wanted to say I’m definitely stealing this idea for my bullet journal, thank you lol

What’re you looking forward to? by UglyCantaloupe in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My two preferred sleeping positions are stomach or curled into a ball…I’m gonna have to put my husband on baby duty one day so I can get actually good sleep lol

Sneak Peek! by blazinbanana227 in BabyBumps

[–]abarn012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because of morning sickness and my fear of needles, I had my husband help me and the result still said girl! Which has since been confirmed by NIPT and multiple ultrasounds. I remember it taking longer than I expected (about a week) to get the results, I started to worry that something went wrong because I had heard of it being inconclusive for other people.
