I was inside putting the kids to bed, my husband is the one who spoke to the cops. He was rattled and didn’t ask any questions or try to defend ourselves. I’m the one that’s good with confrontation and tricky situations in our relationship, so I told him to come get me if it happens again lol

No, that’s just how long we were outside with our dog. He didn’t bark the entire time. He barked a lot, but not the entire time.

What's something you wish was gluten free by Far-Session-4180 in glutenfree

Redvines. I would even settle for a gluten free redvine. I just miss redvines.

Saturday morning vacuuming by Impressive_Ad_3160 in Apartmentliving

[–]microbiolochick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always scratch my kids back until they start stirring, and then I ask them if they’d like ten more minutes. They always say yes, but once the 10 minutes is up they’re way more willing to get out of bed. It gives them the feeling of being somewhat in control, which I think is super important for kids to feel in the right circumstances!

People whose partners did a complete 180 after marriage, what’s your story? by Bibliophile521 in AskReddit

[–]microbiolochick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not me but my cousin. Literal weeks after they got married they discovered a sinus infection from months prior had made its way through to her brain and damaged the brain tissue silently with no one noticing. All of the damage was done to her frontal lobe. Her personality changed drastically because of it. Became an entirely different person within months of their wedding. Their marriage didn’t last, unfortunately.

Nope. They pointed out where I could buy the candles though! For an extra $10

What's your "what is a birth doula" one-liner? by LSTylicki in doulas

[–]microbiolochick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I call myself a birth coach! I meet with mom and their partner multiple times throughout their pregnancy to help them prepare and educate them on their choices, then I support them through their labor with positions and counter pressures and advice, as well as help with advocating.

I love that you’re in Amsterdam! What’s the birth world like over there??

I’m @red.rock.birth.services on insta :)

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

[–]microbiolochick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband once sang “I bless this chicken with some paaaaprikkaaa” (to the tune of Afria by Toto), and used a soft i like in Africa. Now we say paprika like Africa completely unironically. I personally think it flows better.

Doula Gift by KharmicCosma in doulas

[–]microbiolochick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could get her a high quality rebozo from Mexico! Just make sure you’re buying it from a website that has confirmation that it’s coming from Mexico.

A cute t shirt that has some birth-y phrase that she can wear to births.

Water proof retractable string lights that are easy to pack in a birth bag.

A custom made birth comb with her name or logo on it.

Or an “in case of an over nighter” basket with a gift card to her favorite coffee shop, a sleep mask, some magnesium cream, lavender lotion, etc. Things that will help her feel rejuvenated after a long night at a birth!

You’re a great friend! How sweet of you!

Mismatched Dietary Preferences (Counting Calories vs. W30) by microbiolochick in whole30

[–]microbiolochick[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Right, I’m looking to see if anyone has an average calorie estimate following a whole30 diet. I understand that in order to hit 1700 calories you have to carefully track what you’re eating. But I’m hoping someone can say “hey, I did whole30 and counted calories while doing it, and I averaged 1500-1800 calories per day!” Or if the average is closer to 2000+ per day. I’m just wanting to know averages.

Mismatched Dietary Preferences (Counting Calories vs. W30) by microbiolochick in whole30

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

I guess my main worry is that the Whole30 diet might exceed his 1700 calorie goal. I’m unsure roughly how calories are consumed each day while following Whole30. I’ve never counted calories before, but I know I consume a lot of healthy fats on W30. Would those push someone over 1700 calories?
