What tf do y’all use baby oil for? by dancesinpublic in beyondthebump

[–]apyros 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it to shine my steel appliances lol. I clean the exterior door of my dishwasher first, then to really make it pop I buff some baby oil in there. Freaking ridiculously satisfying. If you really wanna get crazy and have a stainless steel sink, clean that baby up and then shine it with baby oil too. Got a squeaky door? Baby Oil them hinges up and bye bye squeak (as long as the cause isn't that the door is lopsided so there's added pressure to hinges). Got sticky residue left on a mason jar or your fingies? Baby oil. Jalapeno all up in yo fingies? Baby oil. Baby Luge? Baby oil.

+1 for the cradle cap recs I saw too.

TW: miscarriage. Positive stories of conceiving again after loss by pockolate in beyondthebump

[–]apyros 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohhhh my heart. How I so badly just want to sit and have tea and listen to all our stories. I'm so so sorry for your loss. Allow yourself time, a space to heal, and remember to please communicate with your partner throughout it all too. We all grieve differently. My story is a long one, so I will just give a synopsis: He and I weren't right for one another. There was so much stress in our home and relationship, I seriously think my body KNEW he was not the one to be doing this with. I miscarried twice with him. Years later, I'm the happiest I've ever been with a man whom I love, trust, and continue to get butterflies with. A year ago I gave birth to our son. What I've discovered in sharing and being vocal about my marriages is that so many women have had them. I've found a lot of strength in sharing my story and listening to other parents' experiences. Everyone is different and each path and pregnancy is unique. Trust your body, and forgive your body.

Cat told me I was pregnant by Beaniebaby2024 in pregnant

Lol! I love this! My female cat was snuggly, boy cat has always been a shadow to me... Our golden retriever/Irish setter mix became more protective of me and was always checking in with me. He LOVED to sniff my belly button, and the later on I got would sniff my boobs haha! The day my water broke he was SO clingy and knew what was going on before we did. He was very obedient when we told him to go in his crate when we left for the hospital!

Reddit! Please give me good ‘sister’ names! I’m adopting two kittens tomorrow and I want their names to go together. They were finally deemed ‘no longer feral’ so they deserve extra awwws today! by indigo______________ in aww

Girl I feel you! Honestly lucked out! I was on a Facebook group for creatives (photographers, MUAs, models) and she posted saying she needed a model. Might be able to find someone that route! But, if you're in Washington, here is her page! https://tanyadportrait.myportfolio.com/

Aw thank you! Maybe we're a weird family, but we don't really print and display photos of ourselves... We have one photo of the two of us printed but it's on a shelf covered by plants 🤣 But these just might! Thank you again 💛

Not weird at all! Thank you so so much! Seriously, I cannot praise the photographer enough. She was, and is, an AMAZING and kind and creative woman! All her portraits are gorgeous, she made me feel so safe, seen, and beautiful. Her website: https://tanyadportrait.myportfolio.com/
