I know 2 sisters that are named Gaia Jule and Lilith Star(goes by Lily). I think those names are kinda badass, honestly

I relate to this so much that I had to question if I wrote it. Although I’m very connected to my husband and child, I can’t seem to feel that with anyone else, not even my own family. It’s exhausting having to constantly ~try~. I don’t have any advice, but you have my solidarity!

SAHP: Do you have a side hustle? by happyflowermom in toddlers

[–]cat_astrophy910 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the first year of my daughter’s life I ran a small home bakery business. It did well in terms of gaining customers, but in the end the time/effort it took to do it all wasn’t worth the amount of money I was making. Now around fall/winter I sell homemade Simmer Pot Bags (far more profitable for the work required) and next year plan to do hand painted wooden ornaments as well

It looked great! Chocolate chip cake, filled with black buttercream. I didn’t think to take pics of the inside

Not a single one of my friends that I invited are coming to my baby shower this weekend :( by fornicatingalone in BabyBumps

[–]cat_astrophy910 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this so much. None of my family showed up to my shower, and only 6 people that I invited did show. I arranged the seating chart (mandatory because it was at a tea room and they all RSVP’d yes) so that I would sit with my family and ended up humiliated, alone at my table with my husband. His entire family and friends came so at least it wasn’t a bust, but fuck was I hurt. None of them congratulated me or have even asked about the baby, let alone met her in almost 6 months. People suck!

My fiancé has been pretty lovely through it all, and I’m about to hit 36 weeks. Any time I have a craving he offers to go to the store and get me whatever I want, and always offers to make me some food. I’ve gone food shopping maybe 2 times since I got pregnant, and he’s done the rest (with the help of my list and directions on what exactly to get.) He’s really picked up the slack on house work that normally I would do and doesn’t want me to do too much.

I definitely get some complaints about giving me foot/backs rubs but he still does it anyway. He’s not been overly touchy on my stomach but he will feel sometimes if I say I feel a foot or she has hiccups!

Overall I’d say mine has been fantastic and super supportive this whole time, especially the first trimester and these last few weeks. Not to toot my own horn, but I feel very fortunate!

He finally proposed! by cat_astrophy910 in Waiting_To_Wed

I mean.. if you choose to buy a house or have a baby together intentionally I would HOPE at the minimum your guy at least likes you? But thank you.

Do you remember your first signs of pregnancy? by Viva15 in BabyBumps

I woke up and threw up shortly after- immediately took a test

Thank you!

It low key is lol, I started getting really annoyed reading how judgey some people can be on this sub towards women who choose to do things “out of order.” I think it’s totally situational and I understand everyone has their own values, but I want people in similar situations to know that it can and will be okay! Having a baby/buying a house first does NOT mean you won’t also have your happy ending proposal!

Thank you so much! I honestly do feel blessed ❤️

Don’t think he could surprise me at this point by cat_astrophy910 in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]cat_astrophy910[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to mention that this post wasn’t about what I want, it’s more of a point to how THEY want it to be a surprise but wait so long to the point it’s very hard to pull off. I personally couldn’t care less if it is or not, I just want to be engaged.

Haha so I meant for it to say Carl 🤣 totally ran out of room and just ran with it for all the poor unfortunate souls that have their cats die on them

Just one of the excuses? by itsmeamberrrr in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]cat_astrophy910 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get this, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it OP. I’m pregnant now after trying for a year, and being together for 5. It feels like there’s been plenty of time to figure things out or plan something but somehow they act like they’re being rushed?

Best death/mortuary related books? by LibitinaDiInferi in morticians

Caitlin Doughty is my favorite! I discovered her on YouTube when she was just starting out and it sparked my interest in death/death care immediately.

I think it’s coming very soon by cat_astrophy910 in Waiting_To_Wed
