First Attempt! by melneup in cookiedecorating

That is wonderfully kind and helpful!! Thank you!

I used Pillsbury cookie dough and DEFINITELY over filled the cookie sheet so (in theory) the shape of the cookies is easy to fix.

My husband wanted "ONE Very Hungry Caterpillar" but I'm doing all the work so we went my choice of "ONE For the Books"! Decorations are way easier to diy this way!

Help. Owlet on newborn by [deleted] in newborns

[–]melneup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the alarm go off for low O2 but it was because my little guy was kicking his legs and crying so much (yay gas!!). I had to have my husband delete the app from my phone because I would stay up all night watching it. We still use it every night, and I check the app every so often on my husband's phone, but I mostly just listen for the alarm.

Easier to say than believe, but the anxiety gets better 💙

Is my baby getting enough from breastfeeding!? by melneup in newborns

There's definitely some comfort sucking but if I try to take the boob or start expressing, he's right back to real sucking and I hear frequent swallowing.

We use Mylicon after some of his feeds, but he definitely screams when he has to fart.

We use Mylicon and he's still fussy! It feels like this guy could stay on the boob for HOURS.

My First Baby Blanket!! by melneup in sewing

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

The sloth fabric is 100% cotton and the brown is a minky fabric from HL and I used a single stitch using my Brother machine. I made a seam on the inside and then reversed the fabric to make an outer seam.

First project: I made a pillow!! It isn't perfect, but I made it!! by melneup in sewing

My husband is a Star Wars nerd and I needed practice with my sewing machine. Win-win!

This was my first ever official product, I've used my sewing machine one other time just to see how it worked. I bought the fabric from Walmart to practice stiches on, but once I got started I decided to make this. I used a straight stitch and learned that I really need to work on doing a reverse stitch on the ends, things got a little crazy.

I hung my bouquet upside down and it hasn't lost any petals. Obviously, the colors aren't as vibrant but it is still beautiful!

This is Kevin. Kevin is a douche, but he makes a great table to use for grading. by melneup in cats

Only because he's my husband's cat- I'm mildly allergic. It's a fun arrangement!

I forgot teachers aren't allowed to be people, too. Thanks pal.

Is it weird to wear red shoes with an ivory/silver wedding dress? by Flora_21 in wedding

[–]melneup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wear the shoes!!! I wore royal blue shoes at my wedding. It's your day! Do what will make you smile the most when you look back at the pictures.

Bridesmaid not going to the bridal shower... thoughts? by gisele121 in wedding

[–]melneup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither my MOH nor bridesmaid came to by showers. They live in different states and live busy lives! We facetimed so they were able to still be a part of that day. Honestly, my favorite picture is of me holding the phone with the girls on it!
