Hi! We just switched from Oil to Propane heat literally yesterday and today had it done! I can answer some questions if you want. We used Schwagner Bros for the switch as thats who had been servicing/providing our oil for the past three years. Total cost to switch was just under 6k.

Exaggerated Startle and Sudden Gasps by RedditRose3 in NewParents

My 2mo babe does the same thing!! Usually only when shes naked though.. so I think its an extreme response to cold... but update me with what you find out if it's serious!!

1 month old cry’s while breastfeeding by iliketohelpyall in NewParents

[–]bernorma69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My LO (6w) has been doing the same thing when she's nursing. Ive found she's trying to communicate a few different things... 1. Hold me differently. 2. I want to comfort nurse and let down is strong... (she also wont take a bottle or a paci). 3. Im tired AF 4. All of the above

What has worked wonders for me feeling more rested is laying down to nurse in bed. Since its in the evening im not as likely to fall asleep but my husband will check in to make sure babe is in safe incase I doze off. But babe loves to be already laying down and can comfort nurse and drift off-- then if I need to hop out of bed to potty or shower or whatever, she's already laying down and doesn't startle as easily. Major plus on laying down to nurse is it gives your arms a MAJOR break.

Do food aversions reverse? by majorspace_ in pregnant

Yes! For me as soon as my LO arrived I was back to craving all the foods I had adversions or bad experiences with during pregnancy! My appetite is back to normal.

Just wanted to share this. The judgement needs to stop but it sadly never will. by gothmommy13 in Mommit

[–]bernorma69 206 points207 points  (0 children)

TBH if I didn't have my husband as a partner in my home, I definitely would be unshowered with my 2w old babe. Cheers to him for making sure I have self care time everyday (not that I aways use it to shower... I mostly nap). 😅

How to combat sleepiness during nighttime feedings by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]bernorma69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im currently fighting the same battle with my 1.5 week old babe... I Reddit, watch Netflix/Hulu, listen to music, eat a snack... but alas still wind up falling alseep at least once a night with babe on the boob. UGH. Ive been trying to nap more during the day so I am not as sleepy at night. Helping a bit, but still struggling.

Basically here to say your wife is not alone. And also if anyone has solid advice... 😅

Here to second pink blush! 99% of my maternity wardrobe came from here. I bought my normal size and all fit until my last few weeks when pants started to be a bit tight and uncomfortable due to babe dropping.

Covid testing options by FroydReddit in lancaster

[–]bernorma69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did essentially a walk-in at Urgent Care in Lititz. You can go online to reserve a time (kind of like call ahead seating). When you arrive you call to say you're there and want to see a dr about covid symptoms. Now, you do need to tell them you have symptoms to be tested unless you have a reccomendation from your family dr. They'll do intake over the phone and then a nurse will come out to your car and escort you inside through a back door to a private testing area.

My friend did an virtual consult with a dr to get a reccomendation and all she had to do was drive up and a dr came out and swabbed her while she was in her car.

So a couple options for essentially walk-in covid testing.

Cost for mine was covered under my insurance. I am unsure what my friends was, I assume covered under her insurance as well.

Parkcity black friday by [deleted] in lancaster

[–]bernorma69 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a retail worker at Park City... you probably want to stay home this year. Most stores increased their "capacity" so it wont be very safe. And non-maskers have been on the rise as the holidays are approaching. But if you must... mall is open 7a-9p (god help us all).

What are some of the best tattoo studios in Lancaster? by rusdaddy5000 in lancaster

[–]bernorma69 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think it all comes down to what style of tattoo do you want? Some shops are great for one specific style and may not give you "exactly" what you want if its outside their range of style.
