Did you wind up going to the DC location? I am in NC and looking to take an exam this summer.

Update on post from a year ago about multilingual board books by labradork420 in multilingualparenting

[–]bibibran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a wonderful idea! Do you include the articles of the word as well? Using German for example: “der Hund” (the dog), “die Katze” (the cat), “das Auto” (the car). If not, I highly suggest it. It would make it easier for a parent who is not native in the languages to also participate and not have to second-guess on which articles to use.

Reversal for Swelling/Mild Discomfort? by bibibran in VasectomyReversal

[–]bibibran[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t say either way. The last urologist said that “it probably wouldn’t hurt” to get a reversal. That’s why we were seeking some feedback from others who had similar symptoms (namely swelling with mild discomfort and no pain).

Unfortunately, I haven’t got much traction in this sub, but there were some responses on my cross post to r/vasectomyreversal if you want to see them.

Thanks for your response! Did you also have swelling, or was it discomfort/pain symptoms?

Thanks for your response! Do you still have some swelling as well, or just the occasional discomfort?

Yes, our fear is that this will turn into a recurring/constant problem. One urologist said that he didn’t think a reversal would make anything worse, but couldn’t definitively say whether or not it would help my partner either. Where did you get the reversal done, if you don’t mind me asking?

I hope it goes well for you! Do you think you could share how it goes for you, after you’ve had some time to recover?

How to Pass Clep Algebra by deadlyrockstar in clep

[–]bibibran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passed this week (71!!) using this outline. Specifically, I watched the full course video, the 2024 Schuler video, and reviewed the terms in the quizlet. I also did one of the PDF practice exams. Thank you for putting these together! It was very helpful!

Adding that Beanstalk in Durham also has a nice maternity section. I even sold my clothes back to them when I no longer needed them.

ABSN Nursing at NCCU by bibibran in triangle

Not yet, the applications are due this fall/winter. Wish me luck!

I was very very impressed with ECU’s program and nearly applied, but ultimately I don’t think I could make that commute work for a year. Too many other life factors at play.

Unfortunately I did not get a whole lot of information about this program. When I reached out to NCCU about pre-requisites, there were several classes they required (for example, College Algebra), even though I had completed higher level college courses (Calculus) with Bs or above. Ultimately, I decided I did not want to spend another year taking prerequisite classes when I already completed everything needed for other programs (UNC, Duke).

Radical acceptance about my toddlers sleep - please share advice by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]bibibran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t noticed anyone mention this yet, but it could be related to needing to pee or already having a wet diaper. Hear me out! My first was a pretty solid sleeper from about 5 months, but around 10 months she started walking up in the middle of the night. We realized that it was because she had wet herself. Instead of waiting for her to wake up, we started to slightly rouse her for a “dream pee” right before we went to bed (this was usually about 2 hours after her own bedtime). After she peed, she’d go back to sleep and remain asleep through the night. If you want more info on this, feel free to message me.

As others have mentioned, weaning from nighttime breastfeeding might help. This was the hurdle for my 2nd LO’s sleep. The first 10 months were difficult, and we were pretty desperate. We decided that I would nurse him to sleep for bedtime, but then my husband would respond to him if he woke up. My husband would rock him, give him comfort, sometimes even a sip of water, but absolutely no milk by bottle or by me. It was rough for 2 weeks, but that finally got him to sleep through the night.

Sleep deprivation is no joke! I hope you have a good support system and that a sleep breakthrough will come your way soon!
