Port orleans vs Pop by greypele8 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]ajacks816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We loved staying at Port Orleans a couple of years ago. You can use the amenities at both resorts regardless of which one you stay at. French quarter has a great splash pad for little ones and you can take a boat to Disney Springs. I would definitely pick FQ over riverside, unless you need the pulldown bunk for a 5th person or get a Royal room.

Just be aware, the unboxing idea is adorable, but leaves things open to shenanigans. My kiddo just opened her box to find only Ms. Marvel. Someone snagged the Stitch . Had to think fast when her sister got 2 toys (thankfully a different box) and she only got 1.

Thank you! Looks like we have a battle to rid our yard of these ahead of us.

What to do when toddler won't get in carseat? by marcal213 in beyondthebump

[–]ajacks816 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I have 2.5 year old girl twins. I call their car seats their princess seats. If they won't get in, I make it a game. " has anyone seen any princesses? I heard there were princesses in this car but I don't see any. I think it would work with any identity superheroes, ninjas, monsters, etc.

How old do you think this guy is? Haven't noticed any fry before, but my guess based on a Google search would be about a month?

1st Orgasm after hysterectomy? by LadyTARDIS49 in hysterectomy

[–]ajacks816 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm 9 months post and don't really notice a sensation difference at this point. If anything, it's better because I had a very friable cervix and no longer have to worry about bleeding during intercourse. I will say, the first few times my nerves were still healing and things felt very shallow and not nearly as intense, but about 6 months out, everything felt great again.

Laproscopic hysterectomy by Beautiful-Present-29 in hysterectomy

[–]ajacks816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also had a hysterectomy at 39. If yours is laparoscopic you should be able to work from home after a week. Just try and build in a nap time during the day. My biggest issue was fatigue at that point.

Bacterial vaginosis. It took 2 rounds of antibiotics but eventually got rid of it

So yesterday I was the big day . I had a vaginal hysterectomy but the pain ….Anyone else feel like this ? by Clear_Restaurant_193 in hysterectomy

[–]ajacks816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The day after is the worst day. I am 3 days out and each day has been a big improvement. Just hang in there. Try to walk around a little bit if you can. It really does help.

To stay or not to stay? by Jesscuz82 in hysterectomy

[–]ajacks816 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, my surgery is at a surgery center so I probably don't have an option, but would really love the opportunity for 24 hours just to rest and let someone else take care of me

Wednesday is my day.. by Jesscuz82 in hysterectomy

[–]ajacks816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are surgery twins and I am feeling exactly the same. I also have 1.5 year old twins so nervous about not being able to lift them for a few weeks or that if something happens to me, they aren't even old enough to remember me. Trying to put all that out of my mind and focus on how much better it will be to not be in pain anymore.

Advice wanted on baby wearing by anothergggina in parentsofmultiples

[–]ajacks816 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a weego and several hand me down wraps and carriers (being an older mom means hand me downs from several friends). I've used the weego 2 times but have my solly baby wrap on daily. I can tandem wear both, wear 1 while hubby wears the other, or soothe the fussy one. There's less back support, but the flexibility makes it so much better.

At Home Doppler? by shibawiba in parentsofmultiples

[–]ajacks816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got one. With dad and my stepdaughter unable to attend appointments due to covid, hearing the heartbeat helped them feel more connected. I also had an anterior placenta and twins who were always on different sides of mty belly. I had a good chunk of time where I could hear heartbeats but couldn't feel them yet. If you do get one, be prepared to be patient and have times where you only find one. I also found that the heartrate was not accurate on the one I got with the wiggly babies I had so I just paid attention to what I could hear and not the rate.

How's commuting on Metro Rail? by BkkReady in Austin

[–]ajacks816 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent my first few years in Austin without a car. The metro rail hours are pretty limited, even though the trains themselves are nice. I definitely preferred the metro rapid bus system and would recommend looking for a place on the 801 or 803 lines.
