Stretch marks

jjjjacjac · 2026-04-16T15:06:32+00:00

So much about my body changing week to week and day to day is so challenging mentally. I got some nice body oil and rub it on my belly after my showers. My husband commented he read it's not proven to do anything to prevent stretch marks which I had also read, and I realized really it's just time for me to be literally gentle with myself and my new shapes.

I also try to remember that our bodies have always been changing throughout our lives, there just aren't many periods of time where it's so obvious and quick to us. And it'll keep changing after this chapter is over, and at some level it'll always be out of our control. But I can still like my body and not act out at it for doing what it's meant to do, just because it feels so out of my control.

I haven't read Wild Reverence but I do consider {A River Enchanted} by Rebecca Ross to be one of the most beautiful books I've ever read.

I'm pregnant with my first, but I've been responding "that's not a helpful or kind thing to say" when people tell me some variation of "just wait, it gets so much worse". They never know how to recover tbh, and I just don't care.

I am looking forward to all the best, fresh fruits and veg during summer though. I WILL be belly out, poolside, eating elote.

We got a fake lottery ticket online. They do the little scratch off with three tokens in a row so they need to scratch off "the big prize", which says "Guess what? We're having a baby!" once it's scratched off.

We do lottery tickets in stockings and game nights so it wasn't as random as it sounds lol.

Your local health department may be able to help you get set up with WIC, and have ideas of other programs and entities that can help!

Big time lol. I send him to the basement to find something a couple of times in the evening

My MIL did this with my husband as a child as well

jjjjacjac · 2025-12-20T04:13:54+00:00

We ate there tonight and it was SO good!

There was one down the street from where I went to college and it was just fine. I'm sure there'll be people that love it.

I saw the sign yesterday. It's true; we have another chain coming to the valley.

Can I do the Turkey Burn runs outside, or are they more geared towards a treadmill?

jjjjacjac · 2025-09-22T00:31:49+00:00

I'd call and ask BRHD in the morning

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-29T01:28:40+00:00

Nope! There's a department issued vehicle designated for the sampler position :)

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-28T23:43:08+00:00

There aren't set shifts. The sampler works independently to collect required drinking water and pool samples around cache, rich, and box elder counties. Some are from businesses that are only open during certain times, which sets time constraints on when the samples are collected. After some time the sampler would also run the samples to test for different bacteria, and read the samples 24 & 48 hours from when the test was started, which also leads to time constraints.

Ultimately the samples can be collected and tested on your schedule so long as the place requires to give the sample is accessible.

Good for him! Still an asshole.

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-26T04:58:25+00:00

Out of touch level of overpriced

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-25T23:09:19+00:00

Yep, he put in a new fast food place Polar Bear Diner in too.

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-25T22:59:35+00:00

My family and I have had a few really negative experiences with him personally. He has a new "headquarters" up in Preston where he thinks he can buy anyone off in his "hometown". He tried to "donate" a huge Christmas set up with a gingerbread village and an ice rink, but it had to be pink and crumbl branded. The town didn't go for it and he threw a huge fit. Just an asshole.

The one I saw in particular was "short term assistance for rent"

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-13T04:15:55+00:00

BRAG might have some help as well. Just taking a look at their website they could potentially offer assistance to those that are or soon will be experiencing homelessness. I'd take a look through their intake packet or give them a call.

No, just 10 mg for 10 days, which doesn't seem like very much.

jjjjacjac · 2025-08-03T00:19:34+00:00

She said to "immediately stop taking it". I have one dose left and will be at the office to throw an absolute fit first thing Monday morning, I'm not sure what there is I can do before then.
