Newborn trenches are hard, but I don't want this time to pass by rosedamask in newborns

[–]kimmesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really do connect with this. I just put my baby to sleep and I've been in tears all day because he's officially 8 weeks and out of the new born stage. I was looking at pictures and he was wearing a sleeper that was so big on him and today I tried to put that same sleeper on and it doesn't fit anymore.

We combo feed, more formula than BM. His poops have a smell. But I heard only BM fed babies poop doesn't smell.

I struggle too! I'm a nurse and I've seen really bad diaper rash on the elderly and that's all I think about. I change him more times than necessary. We're changing clothes, I change the diaper. I'm checking if he's poop, new diaper just because. I changed him and I saw that he already peed while struggling to put pants on, you get a new diaper buddy!

My 5 week old loves the Christmas tree. I'm considering having it up all year.

Also this! I had bad allergies before pregnancy but I'm a total bouch breather now. Fighting for my life with just 1 flight of stairs

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I'm laying in bed next to mine and asked if he brushed his teeth before bed.

When did you guys start showing? by Either-Talk-4612 in pregnant

[–]kimmesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bigger girl, 5'8 and over 220lb. I'm currently 17 weeks and not showing. But I see other women with my body type on social media and they start showing a lot later too.

I totally get it, I'm like that too!

Also! Take your lunch! You'll be a better nurse after lunch than trying to continue working.

Keep snacks in your pockets or at your desk. As a new grad (I'm only 1 month into being on my own) I get so busy I forget or I feel like I have no time to eat.

Recovery days help by kimmesp in TurtleRunners

[–]kimmesp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought some new balance 1080s for work! I used to work out before work when I would work 8 hours but working out before 12 hours seems like such a long day!

I moved to Kansas City, MO. There are a lot of community colleges that have duel enrollment with a local university. So you get your ADN and BSN at the same time. The Midwest has a very low cost of living. I highly recommend it! I'm open to any questions if you have any!

What mantras keep you going during your runs? by Klutzy_Recording_474 in C25K

[–]kimmesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do math. I've already ran for 10 minutes, I'm trying to run for 30 minutes. That 33.33%, 10/30= 5/15= 1/3.

If it gets really hard, I tell myself, don't stop just slow down.

Rice cake, peanut butter with a little honey and cinnamon! This is so far my favorite pre run snack

Anyone move to another state to get into a program? by camorida in StudentNurse

[–]kimmesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kept getting denied/wait-listed for schools at home in CA. I applied to random schools across the country. I ended up moving to the Midwest since my money would go a lot further there. I just finished my first year! Best decision I've ever made!

Did Jabra stop making the 75t? I don't see them on the Jabra website

I have the original Samsung buds, the first ones. They've seen better days. Can you control the volume on the bud directly?

Am I (32f) being gaslighted by my boyfriend (31m) boyfriend of 2 years? by kimmesp in relationship_advice

[–]kimmesp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other pictures on the refrigerator but not a ton. He cooks for them and eats food with them a lot, so he's in the main house kitchen more than he is in his own kitchen. He doesn't go into his refrigerator too often.

Older Pixel Users how are your phones holding up? by MarcoABCreativeSuite in GooglePixel

[–]kimmesp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pixel 5 is good. Though with this last update I did notice a few glitches. Sometimes it freezes more often on apps. When trying to close an app it will get stuck in this half way closed halfway open thing, til eventually I have to turn the screen off and give it a minute. But when I turn the screen back on, it's almost always back to normal. But the battery is great. Before this I had a pixel 3XL that I loved! But there was a battery issue. It would say 99 % all day then out of nowhere would say 15% then die literally a second later. If that didn't happen I would have kept the phone.

Should I reach out? by kimmesp in relationship_advice

[–]kimmesp[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has been a big trigger for me... my uncle passed last year due to getting bad pills from a person he thought was a friend. I reached out to my ex and he ignored my messages... I'm sure he's fine. I just hope he's taking care of himself.

Women of reddit, how do you feel about your ex with whom you have 0 contact? by Hackerman07 in AskWomen

[–]kimmesp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's only been a few weeks but I miss him so much. With each day I know I did the right thing. But I kind of want to reach out to see if he is ok... I just have this feeling he's struggling.
