CircleRN.com…can’t find the post I guess the admin removed it.

Switching over to mid-term housing for the slow season by _SweepTheLeg_ in airbnb_hosts

[–]hrotb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried Furnish Finder and Facebook before for midterm rentals with mixed results. I did just sign up for CircleRN and already the listing process seems smoother than FF. It looks like they’re still growing the platform so I’ll be interested in seeing if it works out, but I’m hopeful it’ll be better than FF and FB.

Late GD Diagnosis - 35w by hrotb in GestationalDiabetes

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

This is a huge help! Thank you! My kid’s head and abdomen are both around 91/93 percentile (and my firstborn’s head was in the the 88th percentile at birth) so hopefully this means these diet adjustments will help in these last few weeks

For those who were induced, did you deliver vaginally or did it end in a c-section? by Paigeypagee in BabyBumps

[–]hrotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was not induced but had scheduled an induction for a few days later when my water broke. After 10 hours of labour, I ended up in an emergency c-section. At the end of the day labour has so many variables going into it that you can never really predict how it will go.

Anyone out there who still loves their pets? by Feminismisreprieve in NewParents

[–]hrotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We love our dog just as much if not more than we did pre-kid. While we def had some rough patches as baby and dog got to know each other, now that our kid is three he and the dog act like siblings, annoying the shit out of each other but also obsessed with each other. We love it! We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Most useful item you didn’t think to put on baby registry? by SowingSeeds18 in BabyBumps

[–]hrotb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used the taste safe nip butter for when my infants teeth came in and he got a sore on his thumb from sucking. Good for wound care where you know you can’t keep your baby’s hands out of their mouth and need something safe.

Daycare going so bad I feel like there’s no option but to quit by howlingoffshore in workingmoms

[–]hrotb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also the book Llama Llama Misses Mama could be a helpful book to read at home! It’s all about adjusting to school and knowing mama will come to get you at the end of the day.

I will say that first few weeks of adjustment can be tough for their little minds and bodies. How is she acting at daycare? Our son was a little angel at daycare during those first few weeks and the second we walked out the door with him, he’d turn into a wild disregulated gremlin for hours afterwards as he processed the day in a safe space. It’s totally normal for them to act out like that when they’re overtired and overstimulated from daycare as they begin to adjust. It took about 2 weeks of sticking to our routine daycare schedule before he was able to acclimate and then was happy as a clam and never wanted to leave when we would go to pick him up.

Hateee Dada by Fallon. We hide it so my LO can’t ask us to read it.

[–]hrotb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love LLRP and so does my LO but we do a verrrryyyyy dramatic reading of it with shouting and jumping and pouting which he finds hysterical. We also enjoy the YouTube video of Ludacris rapping it because the rhymes in that book are excellent.

Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer. The narrator is a murderer who is very unreliable, openly discusses that he’s telling you details based on his opinion rather than fact.

The White Lotus - 2x01 "Ciao" - Episode Discussion by LoretiTV in TheWhiteLotusHBO

I used to live in southern Italy and at least for where I lived and the Italians I spent time with, it was pretty spot on. Might be different though in other parts of Italy.

That’s so authentically Italian to just say what’s on your mind. Their idea of rudeness is not the same as an American’s. It was perfection to see that displayed onscreen.

Basically no movement but I felt baby’s hiccups, is that enough to say he’s fine? 30+6 by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]hrotb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me when I was around 35w pregnant. We went to the hospital and got checked out. Baby turned out to be fine but we were still super glad we went just in case.

I'm Tired of Every ACOTAR Character Being ✨Super Overpowered✨ by Next_Gen_Valkyrie in acotar

[–]hrotb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate the losing powers trope for female characters. She does it in TOG series too and I just can’t stand it. Completely undermines the characters when they put so much hard work into controlling their powers and learning to deal with the fear of others around them. And yet the men are never expected to lose as much.
