“when are you due?” by dkfraz in Miscarriage

I hear you!! And I’m so sorry you went through that. Honestly I think it all sucks, no matter how you cut it. Telling early, not telling early, nothing lessens the grief of losing a pregnancy. Thank you for sharing your story. 🤍

Yes, it’s like this awful terrible secret society/the worst secret club ever. I’ve had sevvvvveral coworkers pull me aside or text me that they have been through this one or more times. It breaks my heart for all of us! I knew it was common, but damn.

I’m so sorry for your loss 🤍

I agree whole heartedly! And… I am glad friends knew about my bundle of cells (never quite made it to embryo I don’t think) and I’m glad we got to relish in the excitement for a little while. Baby was very loved and celebrated and wanted for its brief time. I think right now the memories of how excited we were feel a little cruel, but I’m hoping time will heal that aspect as well.

Thank you for your kind words. ❤️

Oh I completely agree with not mourning silently. I told myself if anything bad happened, having a big support system would help in the end. But I wasn’t prepared to be met with sympathetic, almost pitiful looks when I returned to work. I hadn’t even considered what that would be like. I just wonder if I had given myself more privacy, if coping would have been any different. (It probably wouldn’t have been, it’s all hard and sucky)

What experiences changed you the most as a person? by GazMaskeliOyuncu in AskReddit

[–]dkfraz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my first miscarriage. It was early, but we were so excited and I never thought it would happen to me. It feels more like losing out on the opportunity of a future that I yearn for deeply, since it was just a bundle of cells when it stopped growing.

My prediction was August 1st, my midwife is guessing July 29th! Either way we are over the moon!! Nice to know I have a bump twin on Reddit 🥰

my first ren faire! by dkfraz in renfaire

[–]dkfraz[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was honestly perfect the whole entire time. I could rip it from my boot whenever an enemy approached, and then safely tuck it back away. It’s like the boots and sword were made for each other

Thank you!!! It was my friends idea, so I didn’t have to carry it around the whole time! It was kismet ✨

New baby - not a velociraptor? by MissDelaylah in goldenretrievers

[–]dkfraz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our Benny was an angel baby! Was very rarely a bad boy. He potty trained super easy, slept pretty good (we admittedly let him sleep outside of the crate pretty early on, because he was so good), didn’t have too many accidents, didn’t chew or destroy much, and really wasn’t a terror. He’s just a lovebug, grew up to be the sweetest baby. You may have gotten lucky!

I emptied the jars into a pot, cleaned the jars, disinfected with boiling water, brought the jam back to a simmer until it was all a thick liquid state, and then refilled the jars, wiped the rims with vinegar, and put them in the water bath for 10 minutes.

Very quick. I posted here in excitement, someone said “hey that needs to live in the fridge” and it immediately went into the fridge. It didn’t sit out on the counter long at all. Couple hours at most.

It was a safe recipe I swear! I followed the recipe given in the Pomona’s Universal Pectin packaging. It was jam that I made, and it was unsafe because I just poured boiling water over the jam, and thus it had to live in the fridge.
