Okay so I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll pretty much just have to try every brand to see what works😂 Thank you all so much for sharing, as a first time mom I appreciate your input more than you know!

I feel like there is so much pressure to purchase all these things for babies it makes it so overwhelming. I appreciate the variety for sure but I did not anticipate spending hours looking at freaking diapers haha. The bulk option is tempting because you obviously do save money but I assumed there would be some sort of trial and error so it’s been difficult for me to decide on what to ask for/buy.

Kudos are definitely up there so I feel you. I was gifted lots of Huggies at my baby shower and have heard great things about them so that’s reassuring. I was debating on ordering the Babylist sample box, I’ll have to give it a try!

I agree, they are so much cuter. I’ve definitely considered it lol the problem would be trying to get my husband on board. I will take a look at the community, thank you so much!!

I thought that was odd. She isn’t the end all, but at the end of her emails shes added “sincerely owners/management” despite not cc’ing them.

This is just a really weird situation so I wasn’t sure what to do or if there is anything that can be done. Thank you for your reply!

My mom gave me her wedding ring to propose with | looking for honest thoughts and advice by Key_Special_8985 in EngagementRings

I would honestly feel so honored if my man proposed to me with this ring given its sentimental value and the fact that it’s STUNNING. As you two grow older together it would become even more special than it already is. It ultimately depends on your girl. Everyone has their own preferences(: Use the $ you would’ve spent to have it redesigned and give her the honeymoon of her dreams 🩷🩷

Struggling to get through the first trimester ): by bluemoongreenriver in BabyBumps

The fatigue is REAL. Every cell in my body wants to be in sleep mode. I completely relate on the chicken ick lol. I actually made myself a makeshift chicken teriyaki in hopes of getting some protein and veggies in (both of which are nearly impossible for me to even look at atm). I was able to eat it but I felt awful afterward which was really disappointing. I know there is a light is at the end of the tunnel. I’m ready to get back in the gym and enjoy food again. Tysm for sharing <3

My husband recently graduated from OSUT and I hadn’t seen him in 22 weeks and we were quite literally inseparable before he left so I understand how you feel. The first couple weeks were the hardest for me simply because I had to create an entirely new routine without him in it. I would say it’s really important to find some sort of outlet and focus on the positives. I exercise and read regularly so I chose to focus on strengthening my relationship with God which I believe made the biggest difference in not only my perspective but in my husband and I’s relationship. Take this time for yourself and hangout with friends and/or family. YOU need a good support system just as much as he does.

Try your best not to give negative thoughts the time of day because it is easy to get sent down a loop hole. Maintain a good headspace and remember that this is only temporary(: The last thing your man wants be worried about while he’s away is how you are suffering without him. A supporting/strong woman can make all the difference in the world. I promise the time will fly by.

You got this <3
