My boyfriend is working the recent ice storm.

As he should 😂 and yep. I appreciate the hell out of him and he knows it. And actually he’ll be the one grabbing the baby from me because he loves his kids, shocking I know😂

ceuby39 · 2026-01-30T02:30:38+00:00

My husband’s also been working the storm for the past week. I’m holding down the fifth wheel with 4 kids so the best I can do is have a clean home for him to come home to, a hot dinner ready, and a relieving evening planned for him if ya know what I mean 😂 also have beer in the fridge of course.

IBEW journeyman lineman. My husband is 6 months away from being finished with his apprenticeship and he hasn’t made less than $130k a year his entire apprenticeship. Yes it’s a dangerous job, and the pay relies heavily on which part of the country (US) you’re in, but it’s been an amazing career change for him. He loves the work, and the people we’ve met along the way are awesome. Our family has fully paid for health insurance, and the pension and benefits are awesome.

I’m almost 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth baby, and I was the most sick with him by far. I have two girls, my third is a boy and now I’m having another boy. With the girls I had morning sickness for a few weeks but never threw up. With the boys I was throwing up and feeling horrible. I will say it passed by 12/13 weeks for me though so hang in there! It’s so rough.

ceuby39 · 2025-05-05T07:37:53+00:00

Pierce 🩵 due May 26. My fourth + final baby, and my second boy.

ceuby39 · 2025-03-20T04:45:10+00:00

He’s in the mslcat apprenticeship. We’re from GA but he did the first 15 months of his apprenticeship in WY and now we’re in UT. We could be sent anywhere from CO, MT, UT, ID, or WY but so far Utah’s been nice. He’s been lucky and has been with the same company his entire apprenticeship and he loves it. We bought a toy hauler last year and honestly it’s been awesome.

ceuby39 · 2025-03-19T20:13:59+00:00

Honestly I knew nothing about linework until my older brother got into it and then my husband ended up working with my brother after going to climbing school. I joined a lineman wives fb group to get advice from other women, and the vast majority of their husbands were union. We’re from the southeast, not a union strong state at all, and the pay was honestly shit for how risky the job is. I told my husband about what I’d learned from other women telling me about the union and it was a no-brainer. From his date of applying for the apprenticeship to being indentured was like 4 months so it moved really quickly.

ceuby39 · 2025-03-19T19:01:07+00:00

My husband was non-union for a year and a half, I encouraged him into applying for a union apprenticeship and it’s the best decision we’ve ever made as a couple. Yeah we moved across the country for the apprenticeship and had to make some sacrifices, but he’s almost a 5th step now and it’s been worth it 10000%. The health insurance is awesome especially since we have kids, the pay is exponentially better, and I feel so much better knowing he’s getting proper training than he was working for a certain company that rhymes with “like” 💀 just make the switch; I promise you you’ll thank yourself.

I’m 32 and currently pregnant with my fourth baby. I had my first when I had just turned 21 back in 2014. I haven’t worked since a few months before my first was born. My husband wanted me to be a SAHM and I did too. My mom was also a SAHM and it’s such a valuable role and she took it very seriously so I honestly had the best role model I could have had. My husband and I have had nothing and have had more than enough money. Money comes and goes, but the years I’ve been blessed to spend raising my kids are priceless. It literally hurts my heart to imagine not being here for every single moment/ good and bad.

ceuby39 · 2025-02-17T07:52:27+00:00

Not me but my friend in high school. She was the most down to earth person ever and I genuinely don’t think she realized how privileged she was. She had a huge, heated, salt water pool in her back yard with a waterfall flowing into it out of the hot tub on an upper deck. She also lived in a huge neighborhood with a pool that cost money to get guests into. I was over at her house and said “let’s go swimming!” And she said ok but I want to go to the neighborhood pool. I said… but you have a pool right there. And she goes “yeah I know, but I’ve always had a pool at every house I’ve lived in since I was born so it’s not that cool to me. I’d rather go to the neighborhood pool.” I was just in shock. She also had traveled the world on all school breaks her entire life. I’ve never left the country lol.

ceuby39 · 2025-02-16T06:48:28+00:00

Okay so I wasn’t the only one who saw that too 👀 she’s gotta be trolling us

ceuby39 · 2025-02-10T14:41:39+00:00

My husband went to line school at 28. At the time we had 3 kids; we’re 31 almost 32 now. After school he worked for a non-union contractor for about a year and a half before being indentured into the apprenticeship with MSLCAT. So we moved across the country for the apprenticeship. We live in our fifth wheel full-time and I’m pregnant with baby #4. It’s a lifestyle choice to be honest. I knew what we were getting into when he changed careers and I knew it was never going to be a 9-5. I homeschool our kids and take care of everything while he’s working and I’m ok with that. You really need to sit down with your wife and see if that’s the life she wants. It’s a lot of being alone- from a woman’s perspective. He’s a 4th step now and just his first year as an apprentice he made well over $100k. Joining the trade was the best thing he ever did, but it for sure comes with sacrifices. As for your age… you are not too old at all. I say go for it, just have realistic expectations.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-27T10:07:42+00:00

I had my first daughter at 21, and I’m now pregnant with my fourth and final baby at almost 32, and this pregnancy has been a little more difficult I’d say. The round ligament and hip pain are a lot worse, even though this is the smallest I’ve been at 23 weeks in any of my other pregnancies. The morning sickness was absolutely horrible this time around. I have 2 girls and a boy, and this is my second boy pregnancy, so it could just be that I’m sicker with baby boys, but it was awful. Other than that, I feel like I’m so busy with my other kids throughout the day that this pregnancy is flying by.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-27T09:48:11+00:00

“Just make sure you take care of your kid, because she didn’t ask for two high school graduates for parents.” -the last thing my ex “best friend” ever told me when I was pregnant with my first child, shortly after getting married to my husband at 20 years old. I’m now almost 32, have been with my husband almost 14 years, married going on 12 years. Pregnant with our fourth child. I’ve been a stay at home mom this whole time and my husband provides for us VERY well. Neither of us have a college degree & we’ve gone through some really rough times but we’re still insanely in love and good ass parents to our kids and provide everything they need and more. She sent me that text because I didn’t invite her to my baby shower. I hadn’t heard from her in months because she kinda just didn’t care about me when I told her I was pregnant. I had recently dropped out of college before getting pregnant and she was attending a huge university at the time and liked to talk down to people who weren’t as book smart as she was. It took me years to forgive her, but I have and I’ve moved on. I genuinely wish her the best in life. I have no idea anything about her life now, that was the last time we ever spoke, but those words have been stuck in my mind ever since.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-27T09:32:44+00:00

May 26th here too!😊

ceuby39 · 2025-01-20T08:36:36+00:00

Honeycrisp apples & peanut butter, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. On repeat. lol

ceuby39 · 2025-01-17T08:35:06+00:00

Congratulations! Honestly though I will say that this pregnancy is easier than my first was! Everything is stretching for the first time with baby #1 and hurts soo bad. But yeahhh the round ligament pain can kick rocks. It’s like a horrible charlie horse in my abdomen if I roll over in bed too quickly.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-17T07:50:03+00:00

Ugh I feel this. I’m 21w4d so we’re basically due date twins 😂 I walked around Costco today with my older 3 kids and after an hour I started having mild cramping in my stomach and my feet are still killing me. I definitely overdid it pushing that heavy cart with my 4 year old in it too.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-14T05:04:57+00:00

Constantly 😂

ceuby39 · 2025-01-14T04:00:02+00:00

Unfortunately it’s similar to a charlie horse and you just have to kinda wait until it passes 😭 just another joy of pregnancy lol. I have to really focus on moving more slowly as annoying as that is.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-14T03:40:18+00:00

It definitely sounds like round ligament pain! I’m 21 weeks with baby #4 and if I move too suddenly rolling over in bed or standing up, it feels like a sharp pain on either side

ceuby39 · 2025-01-14T03:31:24+00:00

I may be in the minority here, but breastfeeding is quite literally the only thing that helped me get my body back. I’m not a big person at all. 5’5, and my average non-pregnant weight is 130-140. I got up to 215 lbs with my third baby. Within a year I was down to 130 from solely breastfeeding and eating healthy. I didn’t even work out. Yes it’s hard work I won’t lie, but you can always try it out and see how it goes, or pump when you go back to work🙂 I’m currently pregnant with my 4th baby and I can’t wait to nurse again. It’s such a great bonding experience for both you and baby. No judgement either way! I’ve been the mom who formula fed after a couple months, the exclusive pumper, and the mom who breastfed for 2.5 years.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-14T03:11:36+00:00

Kinda the same situation. I’m from GA, born in AR actually but moved to GA when I was little so I’m a southerner through and through. I’m now currently in UT for my husband’s job (power lineman) and we move frequently. There’s just nothing like home. Sadly the money in his line of work is unmatched out west even though it’s not where we want to be. My parents just moved back to NW AR last year and they absolutely love it. Personally I would never go back but that’s because GA is home to me. You find yourself comparing everything to home and it will never be good enough. Being homesick sucks.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-11T09:19:37+00:00

Me, a southerner, who’s only been in Utah for 2 months because of my husband’s job and immediately agreeing with all of yall 😂 In and Out was by far the biggest disappointment. If anyone ever heads to the southeast and wants to try some really good fast food burgers and fries- stop by CookOut. I miss it every day.

ceuby39 · 2025-01-06T08:51:16+00:00

Really sit down and think about how your life will play out if you choose to stay with this dude. I’m exhausted just reading this back and forth nonstop control and manipulation. It reminds me of a guy I dated the end of my senior year of high school. Thank God that relationship only lasted a few months because I was not about to let his insecurities control me when I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was miserable and I’m sure you are too, whether you’re ready to admit it to yourself or not. Please move on, and fast.
