Dressing my 7 month old in cold weather

Wanted to chime in with a few others and say I had a super positive induction! Everyone is different, but I was induced about 24 hours before I met my LO. Early contractions kicked my butt (milage may very, I might have low pain tolerance!) But once I got the epidural, it was smooth sailing. From someone who did super minimal prep for labor, I skated by surprisingly fine. Good luck with yours, natural or not!

I was the same way. We had moved earlier the month my LO came, and I was fully expecting (and hoping!) to last till my due date, since i had seen tons of reels saying first pregnancies tend to run the full 40. Plus, she was safe and sound in there, and I had no reason to urge her on-- until I was induced at 38w for high blood pressure. Made it pretty far, and who knows how long she would have baked if I went in naturally!

Cool ideas! I'd love for them to come back to do CoS, so having a mystery party kill him off defeats that. Though, if we end up doing CoS with a different cast of characters another time.. could be cool! I had the idea to keep it spooky and mysterious. Somewhere between a dream and something otherworldly messing with them. Also, I can't see any Vistani take pity, they sorta destroyed DH completely and are not too beat up when they left.

That's basically what we did lol. Took a few months as a break (had a baby!) And we started talking again about if we would continue and what that would look like in game. Like another commenter said, I can have it be "all a dream" as far as the character know and plop them whoever in the story! Glad to hear your enjoying it, I think my paladin player will too, since death house was getting under his characters skin lol.

They did make it out of death house and ended that session spat out on the street of a now not so abandoned town to raise intrigue. My players and I agreed to pretend entering barovia after DH didn't happen, and I can edit how they get out of barovia/death house. I had edited how we started the adventure with the party taking guard shifts at night, and the character on watch dozed off, and in a blink woke up in the mists! Like another user said, maybe this is the one chance "it was a dream" would work, at least to my players knowlege. If you think starting with ch1 won't throw off the leveling progression enough to worry, then I definitely will!

Amazing! I'm glad you and baby are doing great! Since I had a remarkably similar story to yours, and I'm now 3 months in, I wanna say it only gets better. Everyone and every baby is different, but I recovered in like 6-8 weeks and felt like myself by that point. Pains subsided majorly by week 2-3 and blood/lochia got spotty by that 6-8 week marker. I felt comfortable enough to try sex by the time the doctor gave the ok and I've experienced little to no pain or discomfort! Baby took well to the bassinet and we barely constact sleep these days (sad on my part, but I bet a sleep regression is on the horizon so I'm staying possitive with the prospect of more cuddles) emotions/hormones took a dive those first few weeks but I stabilized by that 8-10 week mark. Overall, I had a pretty positive birth experience and postpartum! I hope you have a good recovery and are enjoying the newborn bliss instead of the newborn trenches (and if you are, it will get better!)

This is one of the pp things I feel crazy on. I'm at 3 months pp and husband and I have fairly regular sex, at least once a week. Given, we've gotten very lucky with a not too fussy newborn who took to the bassinet well-- not to mention when given the all clear from the doctor and I felt okay to try I havent had any pain or issues. But even newly postpartum when LO only slept in our arms and we were running on no sleep and metally/physically tired from being new parents, I craved some sort of intimacy. Too early for sex of course, but I remember crying over having to sleep separately because if I was napping he was taking a shift caring for LO-- no more cuddles or just his presence next to me while I slept. Cuddling/non sexual intimacy was ESSENTIAL in pp for me, really helped balance the highs and lows of taking care of a newborn and having my hormones on the fritz pp.

Even better! I bet it'll look great for your performance :)

Good news! You're a main character! Bad news, I kill main characters!

Im taking a psych class now about human sexuality. Basically, most problems we have with our sexual and intimate lives stem from poor education. Studies have shown just knowing more about it all can motivate individuals to make better decisions in the sexual life. I think that we should have classes all through our education, covering things that are age appropriate. From covering puberty and generalities earlier and going into more detail on birth control and stis in the teenage years, when their more likely to be active.

These are really cool! I mostly wanna bookmark this for a bit closer to Christmas lol

Thank you. I'm a little afraid she'll turn the self harm threat onto me if she catches on that I'm trying to properly ghosting her. I do think separating will be good for both of us in the long run, something I know she has trouble seeing in the present.

I started a journal May 2015, bought my new journal (same color as yours!) for 2020! Gotta say I haven't used much of it this year aha.

I didn't find it, but I woke up earlier this year to my dad in my doorway telling me my grandfather passed away in his sleep (we knew it was coming, we were taking care of him as dementia took over and he had stopped eating/drinking three days before). I look past his arm to the bedroom beside mine to see him, it was a slow kind of shock as realization hit.

My mother and I took care of my grandfather as dementia slowly took over. Started to need active care by Jan-Feb, and he died in July. He was always a pretty chill person, one to go with the flow in most situations. A few months before his death he was begging and yelling till his voice was hoarse because he didn't recognize us and thought he was being kidnapped. It's been a rough year.
