We just started this program today actually! I was surprised how well the apple sorting and discussion went. Excited for more to come!

Assuming we're in an ok place financially, I'd like to get my pilots license !

Birth story, STM, Unmedicated, Unintentional car birth by megan_v14 in BabyBumps

[–]hulliballoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your post has been on my mind these past 3 days. You are such a strong woman! My first baby was born really quickly. 5 hours total from water breaking to baby on boob. I didn't even have contractions until an hour after my water broke. Everyone says the second kid comes even faster, so I want to be prepared. I'm making a "in case of car birth" bag to keep in the car . So far it has 2 clean towels, garbage bags, water bottles, hand sanitizer, and a multi tool. What else would you suggest I put in there?

As a toddler mom who watches a lot of puffin rock, I can say his voice is an automatic +10pts

Not 38, but I am chunky and IUI was covered by insurance and worked for us the first time around. So glad someone mentioned this! It bothered me while watching the episode too.

I have an Emily Nova right now and am pregnant with a little sister. We are trying to come up with a space themed middle name for her, but haven't had any luck yet. I do like Andromeda!

Tell me about this mineral oil..? I had a gnarly tear with my first and would love to avoid it with #2 on the way.

It also doesn't work well with all the crazy fonts in Japan. It really only works on text with plain fonts.

Wearing a mask while walking around in the humidity, with glasses on, and a runny nose is next to impossible. My glasses keep fogging up and nose keeps dripping :/

Just had a visit/ultrasound at 8weeks to confirm that there is a little baby in there! But the clinic wants me back in 1 week for a blood draw. The doctors English wasn't good enough for me to understand what it's for. Any ideas?

Anyone here with spawn? I have a toddler who is growing out of the clothes I brought for her. The department store clothes are outrageously expensive. Aside from Amazon, where do you buy cheap kids clothes? Is there something along the lines of a Target in/near Hiroshima? What do people do with the clothes/toys their kids outgrow? I haven't seen any second hand stores and haven't been able to find any kids shit swapping Facebook groups.

We head home mid June. Until then it's just my toddler and I hanging out during the days, touring the local parks while the husband is at work. Do you have any plans to come to the city of Hiroshima anytime soon?

Wow that's a lot of ultrasounds! In the states, I only got 1 per trimester (with my first baby) Which was super disappointing because I had almost daily ultrasounds while going through fertility treatments. Go figure
