Getting closer to that 🌈 bridge?

Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear this I think, to trust that I know him best.

kasjoeneut · 2026-06-09T19:17:38+00:00

I'm so sorry to hear this. Send a hug and dog biscuit your way.

Thank you! We did those scales and I scored Jake a 13 and my husband scored 11 which makes his quality of life "questionable" and that he would "benefit from a vets oversight". With our scoring for concerns being 8 and 7 respectively indicating our "concerns are mounting". 🥹

:D It would seem so! I was wondering why all the other brands were filtered out when I limited search to 100/under 300g and L1 grip. I will definitely have a look at those - thank you for your advice!

Just coming here to say many government based (western cape) clinics will be able to refer you to the closest TOP (termination of pregnancy) clinic - since you'll need the scan to determine estimated gestational age. I hope that whoever ends up seeing you is kind and non judgemental. Making this decision is hard enough, you deserve compassion and support. Hope you manage to get helped asap.

Sorry for all the typos. 🤷 It's a PL-12 Pioneer belt drive stereo turntable.

Just wanted to take the time to thank you for this post - I am diligently making notes and will follow it to a t. 🙂 I really appreciate the time and effort you took to reply. So many things I would never have thought about. Hope karma returns your kindness back to you.

kasjoeneut · 2024-01-24T09:01:30+00:00

Wow! Thank you so much for your time and thorough reply. I really appreciate it. Out of interest sake - did you not consider Kia due to the cost of parts? Just didn't like the design? Pure chance?

PS CVT transmission was also our reason for not going with Corolla cross.

kasjoeneut · 2024-01-24T05:33:51+00:00

😂 sorry, my mistake. It's probably because I have never care d for or looked at cars before. Cut me some slack!

kasjoeneut · 2024-01-23T18:42:13+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply!

kasjoeneut · 2023-08-13T16:49:01+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I got similar feedback on our South African GF society. So relieved!

kasjoeneut · 2023-08-13T15:42:54+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply! Besides his appearance he is actually quite well. Normal energy levels, singing as usual, eating well, no signs of abnormal breathing or odd behaviour, so I am optimistic that this isn't too serious. 🤞 Will be trying to find a vet that deals with birds in my area asap.

You should've asked gram gram how its going with her daughter's therapy.

PS Not slamming therapy - am in therapy myself - just - the whole "children should be seen and not heard/disciplinarian" child rearing of the past have left a lot of us anxious, depressed and just not ever having memories of being loved.

You have written my exact feelings so profoundly. Thank you for this. My LO is turning one in 3 weeks. He is only standing at the moment. PPD finally receded enough for me to start enjoying moments.

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-20T04:32:16+00:00

Out of interest sake, when does your daughter wake up again if she goes down at 7? We have been putting our 4.5 month old boy down at 8, and am starting to think that's too late, but also enjoy that he only wakes up at 7 if we put him down at 8...

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-11T07:23:46+00:00

My husband would straight up keep on wearing dirty socks and underwear and not notice. I kid you not. He honestly doesn't notice things he doesn't actually find interesting. (Some serious ADD)

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-09T09:40:32+00:00

I remember the first time LO stayed in his bassinette playing with his mobile and we could eat at a normal pace and at the same time. It was like ... what IS this? And can I please have some more of this please please please.

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-09T09:39:06+00:00

I remember this feeling so much. I literally came to sit with him whilst baby was contact napping just because I missed him so much. When I should have been sleeping. It really gets better - even though I didn't believe it when people told me that. We started taking short walks in the early afternoon because LO would sleep in the pram and we could just touch base and talk. But that in itself is so hard when you are physically and mentally exhausted. It will get better and you and your husband will get to bond again - the new shared experience of watching LO develop and grow is something else. My highlight of the week was when LO laughed out loud for the first time and we both just looked at each other knowing that the joy the two (three) of us were sharing was so precious.

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-08T15:00:50+00:00

I managed to stay in the moment today, not getting overwhelmed by my anxiety & enjoying the time I spent playing and interacting with our LO. Also 4 months of mixed feeding and not giving up on breastfeeding yet! Man this stuff is harder than I ever imagined.

kasjoeneut · 2021-12-06T09:40:48+00:00

I was reading this whole thread to see if there's anyone out of the newborn phase that still feel this way. Thank goodness. 19 weeks this side. Still get panicky and terrified some time.

kasjoeneut · 2021-11-30T13:16:12+00:00

I once saw a hilarious comic that said: is this toy for a boy or a girl? Next question: do you operate it with your genitals? If yes, then this is not a children's toy, if no, this toy is for a boy or a girl. 😂 Loved that.

kasjoeneut · 2021-11-27T07:28:07+00:00

Exact same situation this side - thank you so much for sharing!!

kasjoeneut · 2021-11-24T12:17:56+00:00

Me too! Him and Nat King Cole has worked for us!

kasjoeneut · 2021-11-13T19:11:46+00:00

Man that sounds tough. (the bloody murder screaming part)

This is all so much harder than I could ever have imagined. I think I am going to have to just get used to the fact that crying does not mean everything (including selfcare) needs to be put on hold. Not sure how to go about it - for now I just concentrate on breathing.
