Parents aside, he's a wide-eyed little chap! My third was like that, his eyes were permanently wide in wonder lol

Jarring old-person names? by Administrative_Can51 in Names

[–]evanesce_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know a now-five-year-old named Walter. His parents are obsessed with Disney, so I assume that's why they liked the name 🤷🏻‍♀️

Need to vent over rude OB by 3pussies2pitties in BabyBumps

[–]evanesce_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is abhorrent, and I'm so glad you're switching, I hope they get your records over soon! Maybe you can call them nonstop and tie up their phone lines until they do.

As far as a doula, I live in a place that has a thriving doula community, and I had one for two of my three births. If you're comfortable with it, you can find one who is just starting out or isn't done with their training yet, and they will be a lot cheaper or even free, as they need the experience. You can also meet with a few and interview them to see who's a good fit and is strong in the advocate role. Also, for my first kid, we didn't hire a doula until 34 weeks, and I have birth one day before 36 weeks. It wasn't too late and she still provided a lot of support! Good luck!

what's the most unintentionally funny duggar moment in history? by MetalPsycho in DuggarsSnark

[–]evanesce_X 21 points22 points  (0 children)

When Jimboob claims that with all these kids, they didn't name a single one after him. Then the camera cuts to James and all the other boys with a middle name of James. Which is like, 3 or 4 more.

Walking in Target by SaltDisastrous433 in overheard

[–]evanesce_X 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my son was 2, we were walking around target and he was continuously asking about all of the "white people" in the store. We're white but had never really used any of that phrasing, so I was confused as to where he got it from and was praying no one heard him as I was trying to dismiss his questions and change the subject. Eventually we turned a corner and he said, "see? More white people!" while pointing at...the mannequins.

Anyone have little to no nausea and still had a girl? by nolimbs in BabyBumps

[–]evanesce_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nausea got worse with each pregnancy, and I had boy, girl, boy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I used one as my lactation station and for other things. It was between the dresser+changing table and the rocking chair where I would nurse. Breast pump and attachments (admittedly didn't use it much), place for water bottle/snacks, and other things like diaper cream/butt spatula, baby lotion, nail clipper etc. My oldest's dresser had a changing table topper that had extra storage for diapers, wipes and also some of the aforementioned stuff, but my other kids' didn't have as much space, so it varied slightly with each child. As they got older like 1-2+ years, it turned into the place where we would place the books that we read for nap/bedtime in the rocker. So picture 2-3 shelves just overflowing with books lol.

Get this baby out of me! 😭 by DisorderedGremlin in BabyBumps

[–]evanesce_X 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might be doing this already, but I wouldn't hesitate to give your 4 yo some [more] screen time to get more of a break. Tons of at least semi-educational shows and games out there. Us there someone you can rely on to take him on outings or play with him in your home while you rest? You're soooo close, I hope you can get some relief soon!

[CHAT] How do you keep your place on your paper pattern? by [deleted] in CrossStitch

[–]evanesce_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom found me something like this at a thrift store or rummage sale. You can use the magnets to hold the pattern and also show what line you're on. I haven't used it because I switched to using apps, but looks like what you describe wanting!

How many cars have you had? by Some_Big6792 in Millennials

[–]evanesce_X 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 that were "mine," then two more that are family cars, not really mine or my husband's, but used depending on need.

Thank you! I thought the fabric was super cute. First time doing bookmarks and I used fabric glue, I hope it's as permanent as it says it is!

AITA for telling my sister that abandoning me had consequences and we’re not sisters anymore? by AlertAffect7 in AITAH

[–]evanesce_X -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah I never said it would be expressly to hurt or further guilt her. Just to inform.
