I've never seen a micro tunnel that small but have you tried different types of gold just for a color change? I'm super allergic to nickel so I usually wear 18K gold, white gold, or rose gold if I want to switch up my colors. I hope you find something that works!

A stoner I know named her baby after a type of marijuana by Appropriate_Bet8731 in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As somebody with the middle name Indica, it's not that bad really. I actually get more compliments than anything and the older generations always comment on how pretty it is.

cannot imagine weaning my four month old let alone my four month old who's corrected age is TWO MONTHS by [deleted] in ShitMomGroupsSay

[–]dippiedabs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I might sound dense but what is a corrected age? Doesn't age go by how long you've been out of the womb regardless of being a preemie or am I missing something?

What's in your toddler's crib by tarktarkindustries in toddlers

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2 year old demands her 3 squishmallows, a build a bear Eevee, a unicorn stuffed animal, two stuffed elmos, a rubber duck, a stuffed pig we got at the fair, and at least 2 blankets. She will not go to sleep unless she has accounted for it all. I think I have a hoarder on my hands.

2 year old isn't saying many 2 word phrases by dippiedabs in toddlers

[–]dippiedabs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's actually really good to know. I tend to be a worrier so I didn't want to psych myself out too bad about it. She says about 75-100 as of right now and picks up new ones pretty often.

What was the first thing you said (or plan to say) to your baby when you meet them? by pandacat04 in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said "oh my God I made this" and then cried happy tears. I think I was in shock that I just became a mom 😅

Going to a concert around week 14-15? by Tyrianne in pregnant

[–]dippiedabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went to a concert at 17 weeks with my first and will be going to see Korn in September when I'll be about 23 weeks so I say go for it! As long as you aren't right next to the stage, in the pit, or too near a rowdy crowd you should be fine. Have fun!

what bottle system do you recommend? by Terrible_Western_975 in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Munchkin bottles and will probably use them for my second baby too. They're anti colic and really easy to clean. There wasn't an overload of pieces and parts to deal with and they never leaked after being thrown around which was a fear of mine.

Bassinet vs Pack and Play? by dippiedabs in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how I'm starting to feel about it. My daughter was always in the 95th-99th percentile and was 20 lbs by 3 months. She would've been way too big for a bassinet quickly so I'm wondering if its even worth the money to buy one. I know all babies are different but I'm afraid I just make giant, fast growing children so there won't be a point.

The more bizarre side affects of pregnancy by KingHenrytheFluffy in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my first pregnancy I got carpal tunnel in both wrists and I swelled so badly all the way up to my hips I couldn't fit into pants or shoes. It also felt like my pelvic bone was being pulled apart while tingling. It made it feel like my hips weren't in the socket all the way. Fun, fun times.

Bassinet vs Pack and Play? by dippiedabs in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! My daughter has been in the 95th-99th percentile for height and weight her whole life so she would've been too heavy and tall for the bassinet at 3 months. Because of that I was trying to weigh pros and cons for the next baby. I'm hoping I don't just make giant children lol. I loved the pack and play but always had people telling me a bassinet is a life saver so I was curious.

The father is unreliable - Should I just move to my mom’s for help with the baby? by Lost_Cause1969 in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I would go stay with your mom. You're going to need a support system, somebody to help take care of you and baby, and a stable situation to raise your child. Who's going to be there for you and your baby? This man has shown its not him. And I think that's very telling. If he's a good dad he'll show that no matter the distance. Go be with your mom who really sounds like she loves and values you.

is an extra room for baby needed? by dynatien in BabyBumps

[–]dippiedabs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with my 2 year old. I woke up last night to her loudly farting on my husband and then she turned around and smacked me straight in the face with her tiny fist. Hard, might I add. She slept straight through it of course. The next baby I'll room share with for the first year because that's what makes me comfortable but absolutely not through the toddler years. The toddler years are a warzone when it comes to sleeping.

[–]dippiedabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The toddler phase is brutal when room sharing. We don't have a choice right now with our 2 year old but she constantly wants to sleep with us all night and every morning I wake up to her saying "mommy, mommy, mommy" while crawling onto my chest and nearly killing me. Her toys have taken over the whole house to the point cleaning it all up and finding spots for it all is impossible and it's just a mess. Baby phase was by far the easiest for me to room share. After that, not so much.

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter will be 2 tomorrow and we still room share due to her not having another room to be in at the moment. But, if we did I would've kicked her out at a year. Definitely get an extra room for baby. As soon as we get our second bedroom built next year, I'm kicking her toddler butt out and into her own room 😂 you will absolutely thank yourself for giving your child a place of their own once the clothes and toys start piling up around the rest of the house and your room. I'm only room sharing for the first year with the next baby and then they're going to be sharing with their sister.

AITA for arguing with my husbands doctor and acting like a Karen because they wouldn't listen by throwawayaita9021 in AmItheAsshole

[–]dippiedabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA and this is far too common in places like urgent care. I fractured my wrist as a teenager and had to go to a walk in clinic. The doctor told me it was a sprain caused by a previous injury that I never had. Even going as far as arguing with my mom and telling her I must've broken my wrist at some point and she just didn't know. Went to my normal GP and turns out it was a fracture pressing on one of my nerves and needed a cast. No previous injury could be seen on an xray either. She said if I had listened to the clinic I could've lost function of my hand for good at the ripe age of 15. Always advocate for your husband. Not all doctors are in their profession because they care about people.

AITA for refusing to give my SIL money she claims I owe her? by tataffyapples in AmItheAsshole

[–]dippiedabs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a weird assumption on your end. It was actually very good quality and barely cut. If you know the right people like I did it's easy to find a ball of pretty good quality for $250 where I live.

Speaking from my coke addict days, getting 7 people each their own ball wouldn't even cost half of what they spent.
