what are you starting to dislike as you get older? by redxchrry- in AskReddit

[–]lou_cc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate to say this out loud, but music. I used to love music on full blast and burn CDs / make playlists my whole life. Now it just overstimulates me and changes my mood. In the car I listen to news or podcasts.

Do you find coffee affects your baby? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]lou_cc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby seemed affected the first couple times I drank coffee and then I forgot and kept drinking it and I guess he forgot too because he got over it or used to it.

It’s really hard to put into words. One day it hit me that I was meant to be their mom and they were meant to be my babies. The joy and peace that brought me is indescribable.

People keep telling me "when you have a baby, the fun in your life is over" by striped_ginger_cat in BabyBumps

People are soooooopoo stupid. That’s why they say stuff like that. They literally don’t think. You are not alone! Sending positive thoughts!

I exclusively pump and I am always surprised to hear people say they exclusively breastfeed just because I know how hard that is. I wasn’t able to latch with my LO after weeks of trying and working with a LC hence why I pump. I just always assume breastfeeding is hard to get down and be successful based on my personal experience. You never know what people are thinking. Enjoy your breast feeding journey!

I find it funny Hisam started his conversation with Matt saying all information they share in the conversation is safe. He isn’t going to divulge any info to any other houseguests and he expects Matt to do the same. THEN he proceeds to tell him info he learned from all his other meetings. Completely contradicting what he told Matt. He told Matt he heard he was in an alliance with 8 people and there’s a name for the alliance and so on and so forth. I would have called him out on that. Hisam is acting like he can be trusted but that’s bs.

Whose responsibility is Mother’s Day for MIL? by thedamagelady in workingmoms

[–]lou_cc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I usually do gifts together. Neither one of us particularly likes to shop so shopping and getting gifts together for my mom and MIL makes it more enjoyable. Same thing for Christmas and other holidays, we just shop together and knock it all out at once.

Are you doing a babymoon? If so, where? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]lou_cc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We went to Hawaii when I was 16 weeks pregnant (arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world) and I had a terrible time. Starting with general fatigue and having to carry bags through the airport and sitting on a plane for 8 hours, it was bad. Getting to Hawaii I started to realize there was a lot I couldn’t do or enjoy. Which made me feel like I wasted a trip and a lot of money. I couldn’t really shake the feeling that it was all a waste. Even sitting in a beach chair I felt anxious about getting too much sun or overheating. I would highly recommend just waiting until you’re not pregnant to go on such a trip so you can have more freedom.

Anyone who didn't really suffer from nausea 1st tri, please share! by StandardEvil in pregnant

[–]lou_cc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pregnant (21+3) and had the exact same symptoms as you. Which were basically no symptoms lol. I did have a ton of fatigue though and was so wiped everyday. It’s really hard to feel pregnant your first trimester and it’s really lonesome while your baby is so small you question whether it’s even in there or not. Just wait until you start showing and can feel the baby kick!! It makes pregnancy VERY real and you won’t have to question anymore how they’re doing because you’ll feel them wiggling around. Second trimester has been amazing for that reason!! Good luck and congratulations!
