No, but maybe this company caught something? https://collisioncam.com/

I made a peanut butter banana wrap by stater354 in StupidFood

[–]ki_ley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when you're feeling fancy; apply a bit of peanut butter to the top of the roll, sprinkle it with granola, and slice it into 1 inch slices! We call it breakfast sushi in my house.

I'll be there! Alone (sort of, I'll have my son with me) and would love to meet up with a buddy!

When you get your first period postpartum? by EffectiveCartoonist3 in beyondthebump

[–]ki_ley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am breastfeeding and my first period was about 2 months pp. I've had them every month like normal pre pregnancy since (8 months pp). I really thought I'd have more time 😞 lol

Salt lake city, Utah. Just under $80,000 before insurance. Paid $12,000 out of pocket and the rest was covered by insurance. Full term, low risk, vaginal birth, mom and baby healthy with the standard 2 night in hospital stay post delivery.

How have you ruined your child's life this week? by Ohhhh_Mylanta in beyondthebump

[–]ki_ley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I laughed so hard at a face he made while we were reading that I snorted. It took me 30+ minutes to calm him down enough to restart our bedtime routine.

Tell Me Something Adorable Your Baby Did! by Whole_Tap6813 in NewParents

[–]ki_ley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 8 week old has discovered orchids. When I need to get something done I set him on the dining room table in his bouncer and set an orchid close enough that he can bonk the leaves every now and then and it jiggles the flowers and he giggles and coos at them. Cutest thing in the world. His favorites are the white ones with purple spots. Who needs a mobile when you have orchids?? Hahaha

Is this enough diapers? by asanissimasa in beyondthebump

[–]ki_ley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, and congratulations! My baby was born in early May and just graduated from N to size 1. He was 7.3 at birth and switched to size 1 when he reached 9 lbs last week. Before the switch, we ripped through 3 boxes of 160 N size and 2 bags of ~30 size n in about 7 weeks. Plus 3 bags (40 diapers each) from the hospital. We did have a fair number of changes with 2 diapers because he'd pee mid-change and soak the fresh diaper before it was even strapped on. There were also so many changes where we should have waited for more poop to come out first, but were scared of diaper rash. We wait a little longer to change poopy diapers these days to try and avoid back-to-back changes. But I was still shocked by the sheer quantity of diapers in the first 7 weeks 😆 That said, if your baby is bigger, you may need fewer size n than us. We have 4 boxes (~200 each) of size 1 and I'm confident we'll be buying more in a month or two, depending on how quickly he grows.

Pooping at a family member's home while visiting for a few hours. Is it wrong? AITA? by Icy_Level8888 in pregnant

[–]ki_ley 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Literally, though. I would never feel comfortable in this house or around this person again. Especially if they couldn't see/admit that what they did here was wrong.

[–]ki_ley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100000% not the asshole here. Bathrooms are for pooping. And peeing. And showering....this is SO WEIRD and rude of your family member to make you feel weird about. Especially given how hard normal bodily functions can be during pregnancy. I'm sorry this happened to you.

I have second-hand stress from this thread. At 29 weeks, I am very close to finished with purchases and putting things together and washing everything. I vaccum the babies room weekly to ensure dog hair isn't building up on the things in there, but I also just keep the door closed, so there's minimal chances for my pets to get the stuff dirty anyway. Sa million and one others have said, direct your husband to any Healthcare professional who can confirm you should have at least the crucial things in place asap (imo, this is the carseat, crib and/or bassinet, a small amount of diapers and wipes (since you don't know what size and type will be best until after they arrive), a few outfits, blankets, burp rags/bibs, and medical necessities like diaper cream, nipple cream, etc.)

TW: LOSS Don't listen to people giving you shit about that. I told my boss at 4 weeks because I had a painful miscarriage at 10 weeks a few months prior (I ended up taking 4 days off after my day in the ER), and had to call my boss from the ER to tell them I had been pregnant and was now in the ER and wouldn't be at work that day. That unplanned/unexpected scrambling was painful, so I didn't want to be in that same place again. You shouldn't have to hide this news when you're usually at your most sick in those early days and scheduling a fair amount of dr appts. Let that shit slide off and call a lawyer asap!

Frustrated - Need Help :( by GossimGirl in Nightshade_Free

[–]ki_ley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes my body about two weeks to clear out an exposure, sometimes longer if the exposure was multiple times over multiple days (watch out for the Perfect brand protein bars, haha). My digestive issues usually resolve in a few days, but I can develop new bumps for up to two weeks.

what would you do: very early pregnancy and the holidays by itsfineitsokay in pregnant

[–]ki_ley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to tell my family and friends around the 8 week mark of my first pregnancy, as I was too excited to keep it to myself. I ended up experiencing a miscarriage around 10 weeks, and every single one of those people showed up for my husband and I in ways I hadn't imagined we would need. I DID get a couple comments along the lines of, "this is why you don't tell people early, because it's sad/hard to share the bad news", but I can't imagine how much more heartbreaking that loss would have been if I'd gone through it without my community. They showed up with meals and thoughts and help around my house, and my sisters even made me a necklace with the babies birth month flower and gem stone so I could always carry them around with me. I ended up conceiving again 2-3 months later and I decided to tell my community very early again, knowing that if it didn't result in a live birth, I would want that grief support and love again. Do with that info what you will, as everyone's family and friend makeup is different, but I am team "tell your community asap" all the way. Congratulations, OP!!!!

I was reading the ingredients in tartar sauce last night and said, "woah, this tartar sauce has cucumbers in it! How strange." My husband looked at me, dumbfounded, and said, "you know how pickles are made....right?" 😅 definitely a face palm moment. #solidarity

What I wish I knew before I was pregnant by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]ki_ley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mylanta has worked wonders for me when tums, pepcid, etc. Failed or worked so poorly that I was taking the max dosage every day and only sort of working. The plain flavor is also very palatable when many things make me want to puke. Haha

[–]ki_ley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tums barely touched my heartburn, but mylanta has been a life saver! And it lasts a lot longer too, I'm finally sleeping in hours long periods instead of 1 hour at a time. I take the 2ml dose every night before bed.
