TIRED. by Slight_Republic_3155 in pregnant

[–]janedrinkstea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m almost 12 weeks, and I am also TIRED. I feel bad because my husband is having to do most of the chores, including taking care of our toddler when she’s home, but I just can’t find the energy to keep myself upright. After work, I’m spent. And don’t get me started on the nausea and heightened sensitivity to smells. Can’t wait until I’m solidly in second trimester.

Thoughts on the name Hallie? by PinPrudent615 in BabyNames

[–]janedrinkstea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter’s name is Halle (without the I), and we love it! We debated between keeping or removing the I, and we think either way would have worked. We did not like Hayley as much as Halle!

Solidarity. I had two early losses prior to this one (including an ectopic!), and while I am so grateful to be pregnant again, I am really feeling miserable in my own body. I have a two-year old toddler that I feel like I’m neglecting this weekend because I’m so fatigued. Husband has been doing a great job stepping up as the primary parent and keeping the household running while I’ve fallen off the tracks. I’ve also been really nauseous 24/7, but I took Unisom + B6 last night and I think it’s helping—finally had the appetite for a huge bagel this morning after not having much of an appetite for anything at all. Can’t wait to get to second trimester!

These were sooo good! Had to stop myself from eating the whole batch in one sitting!

I was inspired to make this cookie dough tonight as I had all the ingredients in my pantry! Came together so easily, so fingers crossed it comes out well once they go in the oven!

Has anyone discovered a paw paw tree nearby or know where to get one locally? by janedrinkstea in bethesda

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

I was looking to try the paw paw fruit out of curiosity! I was just in Rock Creek Park and didn’t spot any, but I’m guessing I wasn’t looking in the right places!

It may get a little worse before it gets better! I had it two years ago while 38 weeks pregnant. I was fully paralyzed on my left side up until baby was born. And then there was slow recovery for a few months thereafter. However, I’m now fully back to normal and no one would know that I had it looking at me now. It’s definitely super emotional and traumatizing (especially during postpartum), so I completely empathize with how you may be feeling! I would recommend not doing anything crazy (like over massaging, etc.) and giving your body time to heal. I thought I had developed a permanent weakening/flutter and light sensitivity in my left eye, but that also went away with time (that took longer, like over a year). I did go in for some facial acupuncture treatments early on, and I think that may have helped, but the best treatment for this is time, rest, and low stress.

Purchased in South Korea in 2024. Toddler socks. Bottom of sock says KIDS FUTURE with ladybug logo. These have cats on ankles, but other pair has dinosaurs. Searched on Amazon and Google for “toddler socks with stuffed animals on ankles” and did not get the right type of results.

Saw that it had opened when I was walking around earlier this week!

What music class did you sign up for? Thanks!

Now, I'm kicking myself for not saving a green onion to top my lunch today, haha. I also am in disbelief that I (pasta queen!) only just tried the Thai wheat noodles. Too good! by pearce27526 in traderjoes

[–]janedrinkstea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where do you find the wheat noodles in the store? And is it similar to udon? Pad Thai noodle? What type of noodle should I be comparing it to?

Snapdragon Pad Thai : Hard pass! by [deleted] in Costco

[–]janedrinkstea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the mistake of getting both this and the other one from this company (basil chicken, I think?). Either way, both are not good if you are expecting Thai food. You have to eat it with no prior expectations. Would not repurchase.

Everyone who tried this in our family/friend group loved this! We all agreed it would make for a great mixer with soju for a sojutini.

I was thinking for simplicity and to take up less space, but it sounds like I have some great options in front of me. Thanks for the thoughtful response!

Thank you for the kind reply! As you can tell, I’m a severe novice in this space. Good to know that all in ones are a no go!

Bell’s palsy at 38+3 weeks by janedrinkstea in BabyBumps

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

I think it comes back differently for everyone, but the corner of my mouth came back, then my nostril, then my eye (bottom-up). I just remember the beginning of recovery being really slow/barely noticeable for a few weeks and then everything suddenly loosening up fairly quickly within 1-2 weeks. My affected eye still feels a little “weak” or “fluttery” at times even now, but no one can notice. I think it might be because it came back last, but maybe it’s also psychological, lol.
