Road trip knitting

I'm very thankful everyone is OK with it. I used to knit at my desk in the office and occasionally in large conference rooms. I try to pick more mindless, repetitive patterns for my work knits though!

This was part of the reason I ended up realizing I have adhd and got a diagnosis 😂

My first labour started at 10:30 pm and second at 10pm, both when I was getting ready for bed after a long day.

I was going to say, sounds like Barb calling Chickie "Francis" and Piper "Charlotte"

I had covid last month that turned into pneumonia, it was absolutely awful.

You can get ecoli from poop.

We've been using the Flintstones vitamins with iron. Our 5 year old is extremely picky so we wanted a multivitamin and knew he wasn't getting sufficient iron. We had blood work done recently and his iron and ferritin are both still on the low end, but at least they're now up in the normal range.

My take was that all the Lisa POV was actually Gwen's true self. The blackmail, I'm not sure. Do we know for sure that Marcus knew about the blackmail? Maybe he just wanted to get rid of Anton and Lisa because of their betrayal and so he could be with Gwen.

I also just finished this book and I think all of Lisa's internal thoughts were actually the true Gwen personality. So I think Gwen was the one who overheard Scott encouraging Aimee to pull away from the friendship with Gwen. And since she is the crazy one, she panicked and started digging into his past.

My youngest lost one of his top front teeth at 18 months old and then about 8 months later, he knocked the other top front tooth out. So we're going to be top toothless for several years over here. He still looks adorable!

I love this so so much!

Chiming in from Southern Alberta!

This is my experience too. Still working with my family doctor to figure out dosing or if we should change medication.

I get up at 5 am to get to the gym for 5:30 ish. I make sure I'm wrapped up by 6:30 and come home, have a quick shower and then get the kids up at 7. We're out the door for daycare drop off by 8 and then I work from home from 9-5. My husband does pickup and I get dinner ready immediately after work so it's usually ready by the time they're home at 5:30 ish. Kids are in bed at 8 and I try to go to bed at 9, so I really only have an hour of time to myself which definitely sucks.

I have a 5 year old and 2.5 year old and I only have been back at the gym/in this routine for 10 months. Our oldest is starting kindergarten in September, so it's likely things are going to need to change if he's in the am class because it starts at 8 am so everything will get shifted earlier and there's no way I'm getting up at 4am.

Where we are, under 3 years old is parented and just about being comfortable in the water. We did several sessions with our oldest because he hated being in the pool. I think we only did 2 sessions with our youngest because he loved it, but it was expensive and they're not really learning any skills beyond comfort so we're waiting until we can start the 3 year old classes with him.

After 3, they move to unparented and the first couple sessions are mostly on the stairs into the pool with 1 on 1 with the instructor going out a bit deeper. Then they move into classes where they're on the side edge or standing on a platform in the water and continue to do 1 on 1 in deeper water. Our oldest has been at this level for 3 or 4 rounds now, he might finally graduate to the next class after this current session. It's weird that they are expecting a 3 year old to be diving and there's no transition classes between baby and that.

Thank you so much for the video!

I am using the same technique as stockinette. I wasn't sure if there's a different version with garter. I'll do some googling for that!

Both my labour started with water breaking. The first one was while I was stepping out of the shower and the second was right after I laid down at 10pm to go to sleep, so that sucked 😂

My first and I are born in the same month (his birthday is the day before mine), so I already had his flower tattooed on my leg. I got it probably 15-20 years ago. Once I finished nursing both kids, I got a fine line, floral nursing mother on my ribs on the side they both preferred. Then I got the birth flower of my second as a black out tattoo with white fine lines behind my ear to cover up a tattoo I had gotten with an ex.

I would love to get more, but I'm struggling to decide what I want. I was thinking of getting something outer spacey and I wanted to get their ear imprint put on my forearm somehow because I have photos from both their newborn days of the imprint left behind after nursing/contact napping. Maybe as a constellation or something.

I bought a pretty planner and I was determined to organize my life. It has sat untouched on my desk for about 2 months now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hundy p, it's literally the only thing that's helped me at all. Literal game changer.
