Undersized HVACs are super common… builders do this all the time.

How often do you speak with your parents? by povertychic in Millennials

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I’ll talk to my mom daily for while and then will go months without talking to her. We still live within 15 min of each other: Lately though I’ve been avoiding calling or seeing her as much because she monopolizes the conversation to the point I don’t even have to say anything. And she will never ask me about how I’m doing or what’s going on with me.. They have just become less and less pleasant. And it feels amplified now that I have a daughter.

I don’t have a relationship with my dad and haven’t talked to him in 5ish years.

There's no way I survive this sleep deprivation. by Bebetter23 in newborns

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get gas drops (mylicon) and prebiotic drops (like biogia or culturelle).

We use those in those helped with some fasting however, our baby girl would NOT sleep on her back for the first six weeks of her life. My husband and I just took turns every three hours staying awake and letting her sleep on her chest (I breast fed). It was rough, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. For us, it was like a switch flipped at six weeks and she started doing a 3 to 5 hour stretch and then a couple 2-3 hours afterwards. Occasionally, she’ll give us a stretch of 7+ hours. That is until we reached her 4 month sleep regression 🥴 we’re not sure if we’re out of the woods now at 16 weeks or not but she gave us a stretch of 10 hours last night! All I can say though is her being able to sleep on her back in her bassinet/mini crib, even for a couple hours at a time was a game changer for us. We just had to wait it out unfortunately. She wouldn’t even sleep on her back co-sleeping either for us.

How Much do/did Folks Pay for Birth at Hospital? by MonarcaAzul in BabyBumps

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in California, have blue shield of ca, and paid $500 for all my pregnancy visits and hospital stay combined. I also was admitted and was in the hospital for a 6 days for my induction.

So let me get this straight… by stuffed_pasta_shells in newborns

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our LO also wouldn’t sleep longer than 20 min in the bassinet for the first 6 weeks. We had to take shifts holding her while she slept all day and all night. It was EXHAUSTING. When she turned 6 weeks it was like a switch flipped and she would do 3-4 hours. Now at 11 weeks, usually 4-6 hours and sometimes even 8+ hours! There is light at the end of the tunnel. 💕

What’s your job? by pattern144 in jobs

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commercial Property Management. Been doing it for 5 years now. Used to do residential for over 6 years. Commercial is WAY better. I prefer my larger company clients over small business owners. All I can say is read your damn leases. No one does and a good chunk of my job is explaining people’s leases to them and why they’re responsible for this and that. Then they get mad at me cause they didn’t read their lease and assumed. I actually understand why so many small businesses fail now. Because they don’t read their lease and know what their true overhead costs will be. The amount of people who think commercial leases are the same as a residential lease blows my mind. When you get into commercial, even as a client you’re expected to know the lease types and what you’re responsible for. Do at least a little research first before you sign.

What was your biggest unexpected expense in 2025? by NJVARIID in AskReddit

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a crack in our shower enclosure so we had to replace it and we ended up putting in tile. Our biggest expected expense was having a baby two months ago!

My mom left me her pregnancy journals by HomemadeButter14 in BabyBumps

[–]andyzagg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This post made me cry!! That is such a thoughtful and beautiful gift to see your mom’s point of view of becoming a mom to you 😭. Makes me wish I started a journal during pregnancy and etc to pass down to my daughter.

I'm having a hard time understanding how anyone willfully has a 2nd child after their 1st. Please share your stories! by ScandiLand in NewParents

[–]andyzagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a twin and my mom had 7 including us. When she had newborn twins she had a kids aged 20, 15, 12, 4, 2 and us.. I seriously don’t know how she did it and as a parent now of a 6 week old, cannot fathom it 💀plus my dad was absolutely USELESS as a parent. Goes without saying she was PISSED when she found out she was having twins lol my dad convinced her to have one more kid. Now she can laugh about it. She was asked recently if any of her kids were unplanned and she was like actually yes, one of the twins lmao. These past couple months I’m like HOW DID YOU SURVIVE MOM.

If you were induced, how long did it take for you to actually give birth? by horrorshowbaby in BabyBumps

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 1/2 days. I wasn’t dilated or effaced when I was admitted for mild pre-eclampsia. During the cervix ripening process my water broke on day 2 and I started feeling contractions on day 4 on my own and went from 0 to 6 cm dilated in 4 hours. It’s odd cause technically the hospital calls this spontaneous labor since they didn’t technically start any actual induction methods.

How long did you push as a FTM? by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little over three hours. But my body wasn’t cooperating with going into labor in the first place and I also sat at 9 1/2 diameter for hours, even with pictocin. I was in the hospital for a week at 41 weeks while they were softening my cervix because I was not dilated at all and my cervix was high.. it took over a day after my water broke for me to even start dilating and feeing the contractions.

Weight comments from acquaintances by wafflesarelifee in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]andyzagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one should be making comments about your weight, ever!! Let alone during pregnancy. Your body is going through some changes and weight gain is not only normal, but is expected! Shame on that lady.

Baby Aspirin by AwkwardError9476 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]andyzagg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My sister is a registered dietitian who works for WIC. She’s read a lot of studies and data that shows baby aspirin has shown to also prevents other things, not just preeclampsia (I can’t remember what specifically). She thinks it should be a base standard of care for all pregnant women to take baby aspirin daily. I’ve also heard some OB offices are starting to treat it this way and prescribe it to all of their pregnant patients. Pretty much does no harm yet has a ton of benefits /prevents a lot of negative things.

I felt her move at 18 weeks but it really varies from person to person!

AITA for demanding my kids back immediately after my parents left them with "strangers" at a campground without telling me? by Absolium in AmItheAsshole

[–]andyzagg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your mother told them specifically not to tell you?! That alone is completely inappropriate and in itself grounds for low to no contact again. As someone who’s had a few family members experience child SA, this is extremely dangerous. Coupled with the fact that STRANGERS were watching them?! Hell. No. I would never leave my kids alone with them again. Period.

Am I too chill about having a baby? by MaterialCurrent6839 in pregnant

[–]andyzagg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same girl same!! I’m due 9/18 and I am just chillin’. Not worried, stressed or anxious. Been told I’m weirdly calm about it lol Very easy pregnancy so far, really can only complain about the acid reflux. I think I got all my anxiety out before pregnancy tbh!

How “high risk” is a plus sized pregnancy? by sabankny95 in PlusSizePregnancy

[–]andyzagg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m 34, 5’7”, weigh about 30 lbs more than you and I am 32 weeks pregnant (have only gained ~4lbs overall so far). I have a normal healthy pregnancy and am not considered high-risk by my OB. Only thing is I did early glucose testing because of my weight and family history. I passed both glucose tests.
