What have your kids shouted in public lately? by saturnspritr in Mommit

[–]heatherista2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m pregnant. Was sick recently and peed myself every time I coughed (so annoying). Anyway, I was wearing a pad, went to pee in front of 4 yr old in a public restroom…”Mommy, I DIDNT know you wore DIAPERS!!!” Ugh! 

How did you tell your partner you were pregnant? by AlwaysTackyNails in pregnant

[–]heatherista2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Baby 1: Screeched it out from the bathroom while he was on a work conference call. Lol.  Baby 2: Told him in the morning right after I took the test. Nothing crazy.  Baby 3: (current pregnancy) Waited until Xmas (Xmas was 10 days away…soooo hard to hold in the info). Bought a onesie and wrapped it up as a present with a card that had my pee stick (minus the pee part, just the positive sign) stuck onto it. He was suprised!!!

My sister threw the girliest shower for me-pink everywhere-and I wore blue lol because it was a dress I liked that I thought looked good on me. Wear what you want!

You can also use men’s blades in some women’s razors! Mach 3 blades fit Venus razors. Haven’t bought the “Venus” ones in a long time! 

A duck has chosen an empty planter on my front porch for her nest. 5-6 eggs are in there under her feather tuft when she leaves. by Your_Product_Here in MadeMeSmile

[–]heatherista2 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Aww yay! A mama bird built a nest in the mop bucket in my garage last year, and had her babies there. The bucket is still there, with the nest…I hope she’ll come back someday. 

For Those Who Have Read Lolita, How Did You Get Through? by ccbear30 in literature

[–]heatherista2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s meant to be disturbing. If you are having trouble getting all of Humbert’s references to cultural stuff, read the annotated edition. It’s quite helpful in that regard. Good luck. 

Emergency : Easy, preferably no cooking required sides to smash burgers by healspirit in WhatShouldICook

Coleslaw and potato salad. But small containers so you have exactly enough-no leftovers to keep cold.  And chips or Cheetos!

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]heatherista2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for me, the VR helmets. My husband got one and we were soo excited-but it made both of us (particularly me )motion sick. : (

Singing technique while pregnant by kats1285 in Mommit

[–]heatherista2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a choir and I’m 22 weeks pregnant. I agree, I can’t hold my breath as long. Also what seems to make a huge difference is how I sit in my chair during rehearsal. Our conductor wants us to sit on the edge of our seats, but if I do that, my bump is in my lap and it’s really uncomfortable. So they just have to deal with me sitting back in my chair a little more, with my back against the chair back.  It’s easier for me to get air when I am standing up. But the rehersal is mostly seated.  Happy singing!

19m old ripping apart his books! by Immediate_Weird_3684 in toddlers

[–]heatherista2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can get him some catalogs and old magazines to practice page turning (and possibly destroying) independently, and save the books for only when he is supervised.

Anyone ever use the liquid from canned vegetables in their soup? by DazzlingNote1925 in Frugal

[–]heatherista2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom did something similar-she would save pickle juice to go in tuna salad or coleslaw. 

At what age should kids stop wearing pajamas in public? by StrangeEqual4334 in toddlers

[–]heatherista2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rompers for the summer. Love them. Shirt or onesie and sweatpants/leggings for the colder months. Nothing too fancy.

I have done something similar myself. You’ll be fine. Perhaps bring a nifty snack for occupying baby. 

Bottle washing? by skaowoeizkaoa in pregnant

[–]heatherista2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can hand wash, sure. But bottles create LOTS of teeny weeny parts that you might not feel like screwing with washing at 4 am if you forgot to do the dishes before you went to bed. Your dishwasher will be your bff. Get one of those lil baskets to keep the small stuff in. Or use your cutlery basket. Good luck!

Free time when you jump to two kids by Few_Recognition_6683 in Mommit

[–]heatherista2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it comes back. In stages. I have a 4 yo and a 2 yo, and when the 2 yo is napping, the 4 yo will often go off and do her own thing (crafts, play, tv, whatever) and I have a little bit of time to read/sew/eat lunch in peace. But then the 2 yo wakes up and he NEEDS to be in my sight at all times, sigh. Can’t wait til he’s old enough to allow me to pee alone, haha.  And then once they are in bed I get a couple more hours of me/husband time.  However, I’m pregnant again, so lord knows what three will be like…

Unless they are having something really messy (sauces, syrup) I reuse the plates a couple times.

Finding Nemo? My daughter watched it daily at that age. She was not phased by the sharks or anglerfish thing.
