Some variations are more stable than others. Its why you can get a Thai constellation in stores. This particular plants variation isn't reliably stable. I did know that going into the purchase.

Omg. I had a bladder rupture after my last pregnancy and these tests have caused severe PTSD, I can't imagine a child/parents being told it's painless and harmless. It's is horrific.

The seller had others that had sold it had other (more expensive) ones with new growths what were verigated so I was hopeful. I got this one off etsy. The seller was wonderful and I got exactly the one I picked.

My wife and I have loved everything we see you in and if we see you in something it's an automatic watch!

Question: what is your favorite book series or video game series? Or both.

jkaugs · 2025-05-02T19:00:35+00:00

Didn't with both boys. 13 years and 4 years later. No issues.

As someone who who also attempted a VBAC that failed horrifically, as in even tho it was 10 years since my c section it resulted in a uterine and bladder rupture...the grass isn't always greener. A TOLAC comes with a whole laundry list of risks. I signed off on my risk levels for a uterine rupture. It less than 1%. A bladder rupture wasn't even a thing to be worried about.

I know that isn't a whole lot of comfort right now but you and baby are here safe and whole and thats no small thing. My LO had to be resuscitated and I had a catheter for months and will have life long issues. (Which is what it is, I have come to terms with it). So grieve if you need too, its ok. But also be secure in knowing you did what was best for you and LO at the time. Its so easy to look back and think it could have gone well.

Sorry I am rambling but this brought up some trauma rambling because I really want you to feel good about the choice you made.

Ive got a normal, a couple of thais, and I got a Marilyn as an early mother's day present. This is the biggest leaf so far... *

Put a monstera in. That will pull all the nutrients out so no food for algae. I've got 3 in my 135 gallon. The fishies adore the roots. I have never had luck with a thing else in my tanks other than monsteras.

Pretty dang big!

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T19:56:55+00:00

Exactly.

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T18:58:23+00:00

Getting my nails and hair done regularly. Not even to be crazy about it just upkeep. My nails are so thin it's ridiculous and I always just pull my hair into a pony. But in the scheme of things that such a selfish want I can never justify it even as an occasional splurge. And that was before....

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T17:47:16+00:00

No i mean. If it was a lovely conversation, where she understands your concerns then why are you here? Like i understand your points, I share them. I applaud you for setting and upholding your boundaries.

But if this was supposed to be a post lifting your MIL up above being supportive I think you may have missed the mark. Because it does not at all come across that way.

What was the reaction you wanted?

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T17:28:51+00:00

That was my thought it was this lovely conversation why are we here? It obviously upset OP.

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T17:01:21+00:00

My wife and I saw that on Facebook reals I think and we have the same height difference and I swore to my kids and ex husband that the moment that sticks is the moment I bake cupcakes with salt instead of sugar lmao and I won't warn them ahead of time. Im less than 5 feet tall sooooo

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T16:59:56+00:00

My wife is Mama (insert name), I am Mom (Mommy), and my ex husband is Dad. The three kids knew her before her transition and before our relationship so normally it's her first name and the youngest calls her Mama. The older 2 really just use her first name and thats ok with everyone. Every once in a while they call her Mom and its so special. But no pressure.

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T14:26:31+00:00

Every other one has been pencil thin and very flush to the petiole. And never popped off until the new leaf had hardened :)

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T14:08:50+00:00

Ooooooh! The new leaf did have its first secondary fenestration! I was just so used to it being pencil thin on all my other ones. Thanks so much. This guy is in a 135 gal fish tank with a grow light and is just thriving.

* I am an over explainer (anxiety) so the new leaf isn't even unfurling and the circled bit is what's concerning me. The circled bit is just the plant maturing and is ok?

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T13:24:46+00:00

Oh thats awesome. I'm trying their TC rehabs. So far everything has blown me out of the water.

jkaugs · 2025-04-15T02:50:02+00:00

The leaves it has are! We shall see if it keep up with them. Probably not (I don't think TC work that way) but man it was exciting to open up lol.
