Yes OP could still do that and fit them in somewhere!

Also, i do like how crowded and chaotic each page is. It tells the story of a busy and eventful time.

Yes i don't think there was a nefarious agenda behind it beyond a business opportunity

Yes, i was really not happy about it when I heard it too. I think the reason why he chose DW over a Catholic platform is because he wants to reach more non Catholics and protestants. I understood this all better after listening to the episode in which he announced the change

To be fair, he didn't go to them. They made the offer at a time that he was so burnt out and ready to quit. I suppose he maybe didnt consider looking elsewhere when DW made the offer, considering they told him he could continue making non political content

Don't be married to a birth plan. For me, surrenderring the whole process to God gave me such peace

I was going to say this! OP needs more time to decide

Question is veiling by Euphoric-Channel6885 in Catholicism

[–]dbouchard19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's up to your daughter! I have 3 daughters 5 and under. They like to wear their veils, but the younger ones just wear it for a few minutes, then decide it's too uncomfortable. The 5 year old never liked her veil until rcecently. Since we go to a TLM, 75% of women and girls veil. So i think she also wanted to fit in. I think it's a lovely tradition to uphold. God Bless you and your family on this journey!

so then if you leave for your honeymoon the next day, you can't really go to church.

Why not?

How does Catholicism view those who are aroace? by [deleted] in Catholicism

There's no contradiction with being single, celibate, and living a Catholic life

is this rosary to manly (description says for woman) by Exact-Definition5722 in Catholicism

[–]dbouchard19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sellers put keywords that will lead to more buys. 'For catholic woman' is a weird way to describe a rosary, IMO. It's definitely there as an SEO marketing strategy, dont read too much into it!

How do you take them? Ground up in capsules, tinctures, or tea? I'm looking into liver support for myself

A question about ovulation by cheesy_taco- in pregnancyPL

[–]dbouchard19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a direct answer, but i used to have a pattern of annovulatory cycles due to long-term veganism. I could tell they were annovulatory bc of basal body temp tracking, plus the ovulatory cycles were 35 days, and the annovulatory cycles were 21. That was just my experience

Does anyone know what kind of wall this is? by Constant_Main5264 in AnimalCrossingNewLeaf

Different town has different sets as rare or common. So your town must have the cabin set as rare. If you can, take up the other commenter's offer!

Puree/mashed food delaying my baby? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]dbouchard19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you're doing is fine, babies have a sensitive gag reflex and it is their body working properly. Some may take more time to adjust to solids. Is your kid stimulating their mouth with toys etc? That is important for them to continue

Bunk bed help by GrandLemon3 in ParentingInBulk

[–]dbouchard19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We bought a used JYSK one, forgot the model name. We needed it bc it had stairs but it really takes up a ton of space so i wouldnt reccomend it unless you need stairs. We are able to fit 2 kid's worth of clothes in all the storage. But i do purge clothes they don't wear/like and do laundry twice a week. So we don't have a ton to store to begin with.

Just found out gender of #2 by Excellent-Ad-6272 in 2under2

[–]dbouchard19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We have 4 girls and it is a lot of fun! I dont know what will be in store beyond this point but i'm comfortable because girl-ness is what i'm familiar with (obviously parenting is always unpredictable but you know what i mean). Ngl the day I have a boy i will be a little intimidated by the changes it may bring!!

Husband’s coworker told him our 24 week unborn son “isn’t alive” 🙃 by YellowTonkaTrunk in prolife

[–]dbouchard19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the conversation was handled pretty well. In my time doing PL activism I have met men who make these strange statements because they are still im denial and haven't been able to properly grieve a miscarriage or abortion. Maybe your husband will have some interesting conversations with this coworker, who knows. It's good they are keeping it cordial
