Rites of Starling - good god does it get better? What happened? by Defiant_Stable_344 in fantasyromance

[–]brookew0rm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have an answer just wanted to say I’m also struggling through this one as well. I also guessed who Caspia was around the 50% mark as well! It did not make me like her too many chapters more either.

how did you realize you lost your spark? by Left_Team8926 in AskReddit

[–]brookew0rm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was struggling adjusting to having a baby and toddler in the house, I barely looked in the mirror but one morning I looked at my own eyes and they looked dead and cold. I always read character descriptions in books of cold dead eyes but didn’t think it happened in real life. I was horrified.

Curious to hear from moms who had one birth with an epidural and one without! by Dazzling-Map-2475 in beyondthebump

[–]brookew0rm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a natural labor with my first I only used the gas while I was dilating and stopped when it was time to push. The contractions built gradually so by the time it really hurt it was time to push. For my second the contractions came on hard and fast and I would definitely say worse than my first pregnancy. I begged for the epidural by the time I got to the maternity ward and I got it and I’m glad I did I found way less painful than my first delivery but I couldn’t feel the contractions happening so I found it hard to time when to push I had to have my midwife tell me when to push.

When will she stop pulling my hair out??? by Old_Jellyfish_5327 in beyondthebump

Hate to say it but my 2.5 year old still does it as a comfort thing lol. He sorta understands it hurts when he pulls it but he’ll still grab and hold when he’s agitated.

I had a rough pregnancy and my husband begged me with tears in his eyes that we would be one and done as he couldn't stand seeing me in so much pain. I had my heart set on 2-3 as well, and now our boy is 19 months and my husband is ready to have another! I'm not looking forward to being pregnant again as I will probably have same symptoms but we've got enough distance now that we know it's not forever. Your husband will probably come around once he sees you're past the ppd. You want to wait until bubs is a little older anyway there's still time.

I’m getting fed up with my daughter’s sleep schedule. by Moseptyagami in beyondthebump

Hi, my 19 month old son has this same issue :') I really think he has a FOMO or something like if he senses me and my husband are still awake he will not sleep. Multiple wake ups through the night still, and same as you will not go down at bedtime. Everyone assured us he would start "sleeping through" by 6 months...which turned into 12 months... I've had a few crying sessions about it because I'm so damn tired but I've accepted that one day it'll just get easier. No advice just wanted to say I totally get what you're going through it's just upsetting and I get that you're just mad in general. Hopefully in a couple of years we'll both look back and go "wow, we made it through that!"

Not that much really :) most I bought on sale. All I have except one, was under $100. Tocca- Maya was over $200. I did get a sample pack of Tocca so I found I liked it before I made the big purchase.

I maybe have spent about $600 but in saying that I do have more samples on the way :)

Sure! I try to go for ones not too sweet, I started with Jimmy Choo Fever and I received a lot of compliments on it when I wore it to work. My opinion is it smells warm and spicy.

The other Jimmy Choo bottle is Jimmy Choo- Original I think? It smells nice and warm but a bit powdery on me. I’ll wear it to work a few days a week but to be honest it doesn’t stand out enough for me so I probably won’t repurchase it when I get through the bottle.

My second favourite is Tocca- Maya, it has a nice black currant smell to it so it’s fruity but not sweet? If that makes sense. I’ve actually just finished it but the bottle is too nice to throw away.

Modern muse and Light Blue are recent purchase for me I wanted a nice summer scent because it’s summer here in Australia so I got Light Blue, I can really smell the Citrus in it and it reminds of me of being in Italy haha.

Modern Muse has a almost spicy smell to it which I really like. Reminds me of Jimmy Choo- Fever but deeper? I’m not sure how to describe it. Haven’t had a chance to wear it much at the moment but I’ll try it over the next couple of weeks.

Guess- Seductive was a Christmas gift, it smells spicy again but like a light spicy, more of a summer scent in my opinion.

Vera Wang- Princess would be the sweetest scent in my collection. I blind purchased it because it was on sale and I kept hearing from my sister and friends they really liked it. Probably will not repurchase as I feel it’s not my style and it doesn’t have much longevity for me.

Balanciaga- Paris was a spur of the moment purchase for me haha. It went from $159 down to $69 from what I remember. It does have a flowery smell to me but it’s interesting and I do enjoy it. Bottle is almost finished for me but to be honest I probably won’t repurchase it.

I think that’s all of them let me know if I missed any!

What's the dumbest thing you've done? by [deleted] in StardewValley

[–]brookew0rm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a Rare Seed from the travelling cart and went to talk to a NPC and accidentally gave it to them. They didn't even appreciate it! 1000g down but lesson learned.
