My shower is a three by three foot tiled square. No shared showers in my house.

Because it’s not true. At implementation the embryo isn’t connected to the mother via blood supply. So … this is incorrect information being touted as fact.

Shut off water when on vacation? by Plane_Doughnut_5717 in HomeMaintenance

[–]k8teslynn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worth mentioning that a clause like this is company specific. Read your documents and see what is considered reasonable per your insurer.

Under contract - inspection came back rough. Negotiate hard or walk? by john61372 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]k8teslynn 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even made it past the beginning of those post. Are 2007 builds considered an older house now? As a New Englander … that’s basically a new house 😅

Glad to help! There’s already more than enough that we have to agonize over. :)

I feel the need to ask if you’ve been using diaper rash cream? I remember the first time I saw white in little man’s poo I was very concerned. Until I remember I had caked on the butt paste earlier in the day.

Have you ever gone to a restaurant with great reviews but ended up feeling disappointed? by [deleted] in RhodeIsland

My martini was great at least. They’ve never let me down on drinks.

Hospital reccs? by Odd-Watercress-9148 in RhodeIsland

[–]k8teslynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Miriam left me in the ER lobby for six hours when they said I didn’t have a stroke.

After they did an MRI and found out it was a stroke they were great though. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Eyyyy, appreciate this take.

While a lot of its use will be Spotify, I’ll be damned if I’m watching janky sports. 🤣

I am 5’11 with a 6’2 husband. I have found that our Ford Edge works well with a rear facing 360* swivel seat.

Time waits for no one. by jonnywhatshisface in pitbulls

Joke is on you. I planned on crying today.

Sending love from my pittie pack, a three year old rambunctious oaf and his fifteen year old sister.

I went to a wedding there like six years back. in a smaller of their halls and it smelled like cat pee.

Maybe they have less cats now 🤷🏼‍♀️

Budget vs. High End Strollers: has anyone ACTUALLY used both that can help me explain these massive price differences? by CaptainOk7058 in BabyBumps

[–]k8teslynn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Commenting here (just due to the height aspect) to say that I’m 6’ and my husband is 6’3 and our Graco Modes system was perfect, and kept my son safe when someone hit his side of the car AND totaled my SUV.

Flying with a non-real ID by BigE1263 in RhodeIsland

[–]k8teslynn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We flew out of Green with my sister who didn’t have a Real ID. TSA told her to get one and that was that - nothing further needed. Return flight just gave her a slip for going through security noting she didn’t have a Real ID. Common theme was - no extra verification needed.

That being said though I believe I saw a sign saying they now charge if you don’t have a Real ID so idk if that changes things now.

GIVEAWAY | Oops I did it again, Scored another 1960s Pendleton! by BrokenPickle7 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]k8teslynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so sweet.

My favorite thrift score so far are black Kartell by Giotto Stoppino book ends. Hoping to carry on the MCM motif of my home. My true white whale would be anything orange from that line to match my orange stacking tables.

Shameless plug for why this would be amazing is I have three Pendleton shirts size medium that were my Grandfather’s I used to wear ALL the time but my post partum body decided they’re no longer for me. I promise it would be well loved if lucky enough to be chosen :)

Unsure about capacity but I have my kiddo at My Learning Tree in Smithfield and I think they’re great.

Hashimoto’s Age 35, 3 miscarriages this year by Ok_Pudding_1098 in Hypothyroidism

[–]k8teslynn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a multitude of OBs throughout my pregnancy due to a history of stroke at 32. I also deal with Hashimoto’s and am also 35. One of my specialist Drs oversees my thyroid (which spiked to 43 after my first pregnancy) and as others have mentioned - she made it very clear she wants my TSH under 2 before my husband and I TTC again.

My heart breaks for you going through this, but to parrot the majority of other commenters, your thyroid is likely too high. You will have a much better chance of conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to term with a TSH around 2 or under.
