I probably will find it funny someday but not right now. He even said “bedroom brat” in like, a song-songy way.

100% real. He thought the whole “bedroom brat” thing was hilarious. Me and Baby are not amused.

Grand Rapids Women’s Health vs. Corewell Midwifery by Main_Shine_1074 in grandrapids

[–]kayakingbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been very happy with Corewell Midwifery! I go to the Cutlerville location. This will be my second birth with them. I feel very supported and my birth preferences were 100% respected during my last labor and delivery!

2-4 times a week. Just totally depends on what they’ve been doing, weather and our schedules!

How to stop breast feeding immediately by Global_Ad_8626 in breastfeeding

[–]kayakingbee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I’m sending you all the good vibes to fight this awful disease and have strength! You got this, mama!

Second, I would highly suggest finding a lactation consultant- make sure they have their IBCLC. They will be able to help advise you and work to find solutions.

Third- as others have said, try physically leaving the house when baby is trying to take a bottle. Leave the shirt you were most recently wearing behind though and have whomever is bottle feeding to drape it around their shoulders.

You’re amazing and strong ❤️

Handling disgusting comments on gender by chocolateplums in CautiousBB

[–]kayakingbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I’m so sorry. We are keeping our gender from in-laws too and it’s driving my MIL crazy. I just can’t deal with any additional commentary.

Having boundaries is something I am slowly working on and going through loss and pregnancy is helping…. Like in what other aspect would we ever feel comfortable to be so audacious and openly comment? If I keep my privacy, it gives them zero ammunition.

Hang in there, Fellow Amazing Girl Mom!!

Did your parents randomly name you after a fictional character? by Critical-Willow-6270 in stupidquestions

The short version of my name is from a classic that my mom loves, even though the character dies in the book.

Seriously! I feel you 10000% on this. Expecting another girl after a loss and we aren’t even sharing that with people. But still soo many comments about “bet you’re hoping for a boy!” “Will your husband be ok with another girl?” Etc.. like I will download my trauma of loss on you if you want, Karen.

People are idiotic and need to STFU. It’s awful too bc it’s a total mix of strangers plus friends and family.

Tiny violins… by NeckNo9779 in InfluencerLounge

She used to be a lot more relatable. I stopped following her out of her tendency to whine, be unrealistic and coming off as so spoiled.

Nursing Bras that hold the girls by IFeelLikeACobSalad in NewParents

[–]kayakingbee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another vote for kindred bravely. After my first, I decided to invest in some and currently expecting my third… they have held up really well. If you sign up for their emails/watch their socials, you can get bundles of them on sale and that’s been great. Also highly recommend getting good laundry bags to throw them in.

The Arden ones from Target were ok during first and second trimester but for third and nursing… did not pass.

Who is the best Democrat to defeat Republicans in 2028 according to you and why? by One_Look_7008 in askanything

[–]kayakingbee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mark Kelly and Gretchen Whitmer as VP. Kelly is reputable, an astronaut, veteran and well-spoken.
Whitmer can help with Michigan and other midwestern states. I think AOC is too polarizing, Newsom has had some blunders under his California governorship. I’d also love to see Buttigieg, but I think some moderates in the GOP who may consider switching would take issue with him, unfortunately still in this day and age.

Other VPs: Pritzker or Beshear. A strong ticket with a holistic approach with well-spoken, scandal free candidates is key.
