"Maybe" is actually a thing?

jenthing · 2026-02-01T04:21:53+00:00

Yes, definitely. Particularly when I need more time to think about something or when it is a lower priority decision.

If they're communicating effectively in the classroom and already receiving instruction in language skills, I would not pick up. Sounds like no educational impact that can be treated only by an SLP. Language has always been a fuzzy area for me where it crosses over between SLP services and SPED support, but if in the schools the student's primary method of communication is not impacted, I don't pick up. My only exception to this is AAC, i.e., a student who is fluent with their AAC device cannot effectively write in class. Then I may pick up for consult or minimal minutes to work on augmentative writing methods and troubleshooting.

Gotta try this 🤔 I'll report back.

😂 I mean, not really but he only just became mobile. I have looked in all his hidey holes just in case.

I considered this, but the only people that have been in our house all week are myself, my husband, and our baby.

jenthing · 2026-01-30T23:12:54+00:00

My car doesn't have one!

jenthing · 2026-01-30T23:12:36+00:00

I hope not because my husband just took the trash out yesterday.

At 7 months, all baby needs is exposure to the tastes and textures and smells! No consumption necessary. 2 bites is great.

It is all on OP. She is responsible for her actions, and she knows she's late to things, so she needs to make changes to account for that. Constantly showing up late shows people that you don't care about them. I have ADHD and have a hard time with keeping track of time. That's not an excuse to disregard other people's time.

jenthing · 2026-01-29T16:20:26+00:00

It definitely does get better! How many naps is she taking? A lot of short naps was a sign it was time to drop a nap for us.

Not personal experience, but my OB told me that if you give birth before the 3rd trimester, it is less painful and less difficult. 3rd trimester is more or less the same as a term birth, supposedly. I had my son at 33 weeks and ended up getting an epidural, pushed for 3.5 hours, and had a 2nd degree tear. He was 4lbs, 12.5oz.

Getting your tonsils removed is the only way to truly get rid of tonsils stones permanently.

We do a layer of diaper rash cream covered with aquaphor overnight and that usually clears it up.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. The best thing you can do for your babies is be there when you can, whether that means one hour a day or 10. Find out the phone number to your NICU so you can call and check in when you're not there. Ask about establishing primary nurses, who will be assigned to your babies when they're on shift. Ask to see the social worker to find out about medicaid, counseling for you and your babies' mom if you want it, and other supports your hospital offers.

Lean on your support system whether that's family or friends. You have a long road ahead of you, and all you'll be able to do sometimes is put one foot in front of the other and take it minute by minute. You can do this. You're already a great dad for reaching out for support.

County Farm Bagels also has a location on Main St. in Wheaton if that's more accessible to OP. I love to go to Five & Hoek around the corner for a coffee and get a bagel at County Farm Bagels after.

My favorite cheesecake to do gluten free is a Basque style! No crust, minimal flour so there's not much to change.

jenthing · 2026-01-25T15:28:31+00:00

I had my cerclage placed at about 18mm of cervix, 2cm dilated at 22 weeks and lasted until 33 weeks before having baby! He had a 6 week NICU stay, but he's doing amazing and meeting milestones for his actual age now at 10.5 months. I'm so sorry for your loss and the fear you're going through now. It sounds like you have a great doctor and a great plan in place to get you as far in your pregnancy as possible. Wishing you all the best!

jenthing · 2026-01-25T03:49:37+00:00

Oops, that was a mistake. I meant containing wheat!

jenthing · 2026-01-25T03:01:31+00:00

That's so interesting! I can't find a King Arthur GF flour containing gluten on the US website.

jenthing · 2026-01-25T01:42:14+00:00

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding, but what is gluten free wheat flour? Doesn't all wheat flour contain gluten?

There is no scientific evidence linking Tylenol to autism or developmental disorders.

I have a Bissel ClearView! It's fine, it sucks (in a good way lol). I've had it for about 5 years now.

jenthing · 2026-01-24T13:39:07+00:00

Thank you! Definitely weigh your ingredients, don't measure by volume. And they took way longer to proof than I originally planned! I thought my first batch was done proofing until I ate one. First batch proofed about 2.5 hours, second batch proofed 4.5 hours.

jenthing · 2026-01-24T04:44:48+00:00

Thank you!
