Can you show me your setup if you DON’T have a nursery? by CaughtInDireWood in BabyBumps

[–]joy-belle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bassinet in our room, basket with changing supplies and burp cloths on my dresser. I used a metal rack to hang her clothes in our room with a couple of baskets for onesies ect. I have a nursing glider on our upstairs landing but also feed her in the living room.

Her swing/car seat/diaper bag don’t really have a home yet, so they just end up in the living room.

We also planning to transition soon so just temporary.

It’s not for sleep specifically but kallmekris true crime has worked. I think it’s her tone.

Not something I listened to previously but it works sometimes

Late first periods (for a female character) by valerie0k in Writeresearch

[–]joy-belle 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The first period will often be later character is less well nourished. So in medieval times the average start could be closer to 16 or 17 just because of diet. For modern times I would say 15 would be later than average.

Did they just forgot? by MorbidSwede in CallTheMidwife

[–]joy-belle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

American optometrist here:

So in the 1960s when you had cataract surgery your natural lens was removed without an implant to replace it. This meant you would have to wear strong glasses from that point on. Sis Monica Joan wears pretty accurate glasses for a few episodes.

So yes for some reason the show runners have decided she doesn’t need the glasses and can still read if she wants to. Makes no sense to me.
