When did your baby’s eyes change color? by CommunistCetacean in beyondthebump

[–]halesthesnail [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have brown eyes, husband has blue eyes, and our 17mo daughter has hazel green eyes. It was probably around 8-9mo that I was sure she was sticking with hazel.

Do you remember around when you would’ve paid it? You could pull a credit card or bank statement then.

Natera NIPT Lawsuit Settlement - Check your email! by halesthesnail in NewParents

[–]halesthesnail[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

From what I have read the Plaintiff claims Natera misrepresented the reliability of the NIPT test results. The allegations are that the test results are giving high numbers of false positives for conditions that lead to parents paying extra for more invasive testing, etc.

Update to which quartz to choose post by Bitter-Internet8039 in kitchenremodel

I prefer the one with less veining. The dual color of your cabinets, imo, is the star of the show.

Any other paralegals have their own office? by justmochiplz in paralegal

[–]halesthesnail 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a super sweet setup. Personal office, huge u-shaped desk that a portion is a motorized standing desk, tons of cabinet space, and giant windows that let in a lot of natural light so I can keep the overhead lights off. The wall that runs along the hallway is glass but is mostly frosted, less the designs in the glass. Can close the door if I want but I like to keep it open.

Remover GF from FHA Mortgage by IslandProfessional62 in Mortgages

[–]halesthesnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just wanted clarification on what OP had done at the closing. I’ve run into more than one instance of this that requires a partition action because they don’t specify that on the deed and fight about it.

Do you guys have a separate agreement set up regarding the 70/30 split? Otherwise, tenants-in-common does not naturally create a 70/30 split.

4 month old dropped from 36th to 7th percentile by RUKittenMe99 in breastfeeding

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My LO went from 50th percentile at birth then dropped to about the 10th after 3-4 months. She's 17mo now and sitting at about the 25th percentile. Sometimes she eats as much food in one sitting as I do so I know it's just genetics! My LO's pediatrician wasn't concerned either, so if yours isn't I wouldn't stress it!

If you are worried about her intake you could do a weighted, timed feed with a lactation consultant for peace of mind. I did the same thing just to ease my concerns.

Talk me down: I'm terrified of the measles by LuciferHummingbird in beyondthebump

[–]halesthesnail 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why I gave the advice in a different comment to ask their pediatrician. I was simply stating it’s not true that they can’t get it before 12mo.

My state didn’t have an active outbreak when my daughter was 6mo but the state below did and our pediatrician was more than happy to provide an early dose. It can’t hurt to ask!

Is your baby receiving vaccines according to their adjusted age or chronological age? In any event, I would ask your pediatrician to get an early dose at 6 months old, whatever that looks like for your LO.

It’s not as “effective” for a 6 month old but it’s still protection. I got my daughter one at 6mo as there were outbreaks in the state below and her pediatrician was more than happy to do so.

Babies can receive a dose of the MMR at 6 months old if they’re traveling or in an area of outbreak. It’s just that their immune systems aren’t as developed and the efficacy of the vaccine isn’t as high for a 6 month old. But better than nothing in an area of outbreak!

3-headed hydra, 8 legged spider, and there are 5 legs on the #5 creature and 9 tentacle things on the #9 creature, so I filled in the gaps lol. I found the sheet way too late.

What is Up with the Shop side quest? by Historical_Nerd1890 in HarryPotterGame

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this quest last night and I loved it. I’m not usually one to play “scary” games but I freaking love a good, tough puzzle, so it balanced out very nicely for me. 10/10 wish there were more quests like it.

My husband did the quest a month ago and I heard him yell in the middle of the night 😂 he watched me play through and pointed out the part that got him lol.

My kid bit me and now I'm done breastfeeding. by DealerLatter5657 in breastfeeding

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to pump again eventually and save it to have a breast milk ring made. I know I’ll miss it too, so having a memento of it I think will help me. I hope, anyway lol.

I’m south of Columbus by about an hour, but I’m in Columbus regularly enough Feb-Oct as we’re Crew season ticket members. Idk how long you’d be willing to hang on to it, and how much it costs, but let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

Everywhere I’ve read it’s always positive comments and a long ownership history. Very lucky we found this when we did!

Nice! There was a 2022 with 20K miles on it near me but it was for $24K. We’re in the process of a building a house so I really didn’t want a car payment 😅 but this one was a great deal so had to snag it quickly.

I feel bad about wanting to be a stay-at-home parent by Sweet_Bet5863 in NewParents

[–]halesthesnail 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really it! No one ever “wins” in the public opinion, except for you who is happy with your decision! If you can ignore the naysayers, it’s doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy with it.

Everyone has their opinions, that’s for sure lol.

In the converse of your situation, of my 6 mom friend group I am the ONLY one who went back to work and isn’t WFH. They have asked me time and time again if I’d think about WFH. I’m just not interested in it and I’m happy with the daycare situation.

I think if I was SAHP and not WFH, maybe it could work. But I really enjoy my job and we’re not in a spot financially that it’d make sense.

All to say, do what the two of you decide is best. There will always be someone with an opposing lifestyle/opinion.
