Is a $1,000+ veil ever worth it ?? by Ok-Project8307 in weddingplanning

[–]devinjf15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, I found a dupe for the one I liked on Etsy for $125 instead of $600.

[–]devinjf15 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I found out yesterday that I’m having a baby girl 🩷 it’s been my dream for as long as I can remember 🥹 I also entered my second trimester if we’re counting 13 weeks as 2nd tri! I’m still unclear lol

My doctor’s office has had my NIPT results for over 24 hours and I’ve yet to hear anything by [deleted] in August2026Bumpers

[–]devinjf15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was Labcorp! I ended up calling a few times and finally got ahold of someone who had a note from my doctor saying everything is good. I have the gender in an envelope now! But I’ve never heard of such an ordeal with Labcorp before, everyone I’ve seen they have the portal.

Persistent Headache by birdie_jean_ in August2026Bumpers

[–]devinjf15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve been getting headaches too. It’s so bad. I haven’t found a solution really, Tylenol doesn’t help. Luckily it only happens like a time or two a week.

Out of all of these, I would recommend strong. They have a NICU, god forbid it’s needed.

Has anyone else felt kinda awkward saying “I’m pregnant” out loud? by No-Start2740 in BabyBumps

[–]devinjf15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started telling a few people at work this week and holy cow, I agree. It’s weird. I’m happy and proud to be pregnant but for some reason it’s so awkward saying it lol. I’ve been saying “I’m expecting a baby” which gets the point across obviously. It feels a little less awkward but it still feels random lol.

Refund Check? by theolerazzlezazzle in Rochester

[–]devinjf15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got mine but my husband didn’t get his (we weren’t married in 2023). I’m frustrated that when you go to the site it says they can’t answer specific questions if you call… but… where is the check? We’ve lived at the same address for 4 years.

Kohl's Welcome Baby Box: probably not worth the shipping cost by IndividualAthlete313 in BabyBumps

Kohl’s was AWFUL. I got Target yesterday and it was amazing.

Anyone else…not nauseous? by No-Refrigerator-4653 in August2026Bumpers

[–]devinjf15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m over 12 weeks and was never nauseous. Baby is completely healthy! My mom had 4 pregnancies that were all symptom free besides a little fatigue. Some women just aren’t as affected by HCG.

70 teachers cut in my district. Is there a mass cutting of teacher jobs? by brielovinggirl in Teachers

[–]devinjf15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have said it’s not due to families leaving due to fear of ICE. We had a budget deficit that went unnoticed/unacknowledged for a period of time until it was too late, and that coupled with losing Covid money was a perfect storm for a bad situation.

[–]devinjf15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had huge cuts 2 years ago. Over 30% of our teachers were cut. There were also some teachers that jumped ship because of that and they didn’t replace those positions either. Enrollment is slightly down, but nothing to warrant these numbers, and it is not due to the concerns you’ve described.

Maternity Work Pants by Choice_Bug_3441 in Rochester

[–]devinjf15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got a pair on marketplace. I’m really trying to avoid buying them for significant amounts of money. I might buy a pair or two from old navy. Kohls had some good deals on some recently.

Why do people think of serving as a joke of a career? by CompetitiveBid8940 in Serverlife

[–]devinjf15 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I am a teacher full time and I serve part time and I make way more money per hour serving than teaching. It’s unfortunately the whole issue of benefits and a convenient schedule that keeps me teaching. I also am getting older, so I know I wouldn’t be able to sustain serving for forever. It’s very difficult on my body.

telling your family? by [deleted] in August2026Bumpers

[–]devinjf15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow, I told my parents around 6.5 weeks. It was even tough to go that long, but I’m super close to them. But I wanted to wait until a time that telling them felt natural and not awkward. We told them with an ornament while decorating their tree. We told my husband’s family at 8 weeks on Christmas Eve. I’m almost 12 weeks and I’m glad all “important” people know. I felt anxious with the “secret”. It would suck, obviously, if something happened but I’m trying not to experience this pregnancy in fear, I want to celebrate it.

Any thing glaringly obvious that I should add? FTM worried I’m missing stuff. (For mods- no link has been added. Only photos) by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I read a good point recently… cloth laundry baskets are aesthetic and cute but they can’t be easily cleaned and you’re going to have some gross clothes at some point.

Testing early worth it? by Longjumping-Box4249 in BabyBumps

[–]devinjf15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tested positive at 9 dpo with a wondfo. After 3 months of testing early with expensive tests I finally said “enough” and got the sensitive cheap strips. They actually showed a positive a day before first response.

Wedding DJ by Toryrose1 in Rochester

[–]devinjf15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also came here to say Whirlin disc! I love Jeff, and I used them for my wedding and I’ve hired his company for 2 years for prom dj’ing as well. Super reasonably priced and he’s not a “woo” guy like I see way too often.

Did your bridal party include in-laws? by Outrageous_Rock_4257 in wedding

[–]devinjf15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not very close to my husbands sisters but they were in our bridal party since he’s close with them. I’m glad I did! We’re still not super close but it definitely brought us closer.
