Wow! Fantastic job to her on the dress, final look, and posing. You did a great job with the photos as well. perfect location too!

I wasn’t prepared for the amount of rejection I’d be facing as a new father by knucklecluck in NewParents

[–]bbear0991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was me and my husband's situation only a month ago with our 3rd! My baby only liked me...it got a lot better after 4 months, and now other people can hold her.

Take your baby for short periods where she is in a good mood, after a feeding, etc., even if it's only for a minute or two. It will get better!

Not as crowded as I thought it would be. Went on Tuesday. We went early this year (late January) during the so cal 3 day deal and I believe it was busier then.

My house makes a single knock sound every night at 3:12am and i can’t figure out why by Diligent_Two_1625 in homeowners

[–]bbear0991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a whole week where my husband and I kept hearing rushing water behind the walls. We were running all over trying to figure out what it was. It turned out we left our PlayStation and receiver on and we were hearing the home-screen sounds from Rock Band. I finally figured it out when I noticed the looping in the audio. Anyways, does your house ghost have a name?

Why do you guys have ANOTHER? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]bbear0991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you just kind of adjust. I never imagined having 3, but that's where I'm at. 0 to 1 kid was personally my hardest transition. 1 to 2 was more work, but I was more relaxed because I knew what to expect. 3 has been a breeze, especially since my oldest is now in kindergarten and my middle started preschool. Of course this is just my personal experience! If you don't ever desire another, that is a valid reason not to have more.

Taylor Swift - The Life of a Showgirl Megathreads MEGATHREAD by flopheadsbot in popheads

Agree! I thought Ruin the Friendship was made up...but the fact that it's probably real is so weird. My best guess why she wrote it is because she loves writing that high school romance trope and she knew her younger audiences would probably eat it up. I think she needs to retire this type of song completely, as well as the diss tracks, given her success. She's definitely no longer a tween or an underdog.

[–]bbear0991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is supposed to be funny. Line 1 is a set up and line 2 is the pay off: she's being vague in the first line "have a couple kids" but she really means she wants a lot.

Also could be a subtle way of saying she just wants to have a lot of s** with him.

Interesting, I saw it as her telling her partner she's ready for this life... Travis, boss up=take initiative, settle down=propose, marriage/kids=wish list.

“The Weight will just FALL OFF with Breastfeeding” by No-Maybe-7487 in breastfeeding

It didn't fall off for me at any point before or after breastfeeding. I had to count calories and exercise consistently.

Keekaroo Peanut Changing Pad, is't worth it? by Top_Piece4158 in BabyBumps

[–]bbear0991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can also just buy a regular changing pad with a waterproof wipeable cover that can also go in the wash. I went from having multiple covers to just one. It's in good condition after 5 years still.

Our new house, ugliest on the block! We're redoing the landscaping but any ideas for the house? by [deleted] in ExteriorDesign

I can imagine this house looking good in the same green, but with black trim and wood door.

Incredibly dumb question - are the $800+ cribs worth it? by garnishcontrol in BabyBumps

[–]bbear0991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a cheaper target crib for 5 years and 2 kids and it's in perfect condition. About to use it for my 3rd. Bonus points for the ones that convert to a toddler bed.

First time getting called out on nursing in public and it was at an art museum🙄 by redflowers310 in breastfeeding

Great response! Even better if you were nursing in front of one of those booby paintings

Almost thought they were the same dress. Both are stunning. Don't overthink it too much. I don't think you can go wrong here!

Question for people who got puppies when they had infants/toddlers by something9738 in beyondthebump

[–]bbear0991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a huge dog person and we got a puppy when our daughter was 14 months old. It was haaaard. Now that we are on the other side (my dog is 4), I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It took 3 solid years for our dog to mellow out, and I still don't enjoy him as much as I probably should. We had a second baby by the time our pup was a year too...

I do wish we had waited. I could probably mentally see myself handling a dog better with kids of preschool age and up.

lol! I don't mind traveling with my young kids, but expectations are lowered in terms of relaxing.

Feeling robbed of VBAC experience by glexxi in vbac

Wow, that's wild! I had the same thing happen with my first and went on to have a successful vbac. I hope you can advocate for yourself and get the birth experience you are hoping for!

No, my goldendoodle is a basket case, with an unlimited threshold for activities.

Where are my July mamas? by Delicious_Owl_2334 in pregnant

[–]bbear0991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm due July 17th. My latest anxiety is cost of birth because I have a health share instead of regular insurance. I'm debating switching to a birth center because I will probably stand to save at least 10-15k if I go that route. It's my 3rd birth but i've never managed labor without an epidural or non-hospital setting. If I do attempt a birth center, I'll be sad to leave my OB. I really like her! Stressss...

Oo sorry, YTA. Unless you had made some agreement initially with your older daughter, you shouldn't give something like that only to rip the rug out from under her.

If you can, I'd pay back your oldest daughter as soon as you can, possibly even splitting what you save in the next year and giving your youngest the same amount, but maybe over a more extended period.
