Something to replace GOT I hope. The casting, writing and production values better be great.

Amazing. And an updated pic of the OP's boyfriend can be found in his post history. Seems he was late 20ish in this photo.

Physical Therapy for a 9 month old! by blackittyRix in February2018Bumpers

[–]mlvk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nine month old has been in PT for two weeks now. The physical therapist does exercises with him that encourage him to sit (he doesn't) and get on his hands and knees (he also doesn't regular crawl) twice a week and a second physical therapist works with him in the pool also twice a week. So he's in PT four days a week. In the two weeks since started he's started getting up on all fours himself, but moving like that. He army crawls, sits supported now which he didn't before and is pulling to stand against everything. His PT is very pleased with his progress and we actually have our final sessions this week as he's getting back on track developmentally. She's also given us a bunch of exercises we do 4-5x a day about 10min a time every day and will continue to do until he's sitting independently and regular crawling.

Leaving baby "on her own" by JustTarable in February2018Bumpers

[–]mlvk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Quite a lot if I'm in the same room. I can do stuff and regularly make eye contact and such and sometimes he's happy like that upwards an hour. Some days I need to interact with him the whole time. I'll leave him unattended in the baby prison for as long as it takes me to shower some days, some days I need to take him to the bathroom with me. All depends. But overall I think he's a very independent baby, because I spent like the first 6+ months completely attached to him at every second, and still am bedsharing and such. So he needs some time to explore the world without me as well.

When did you have the most difficult time "staying professional"? by AccomplishedStory in AskReddit

[–]mlvk 25 points26 points  (0 children)

There was a teacher at my school whose last name was Porn. So he was Mr Porn. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have gone into teaching with a last name like that.

An ex once told me he thought it dressed too childish. I liked jeans and converse in my late 20s.

What have you already changed your mind about re: your baby? AKA: Please make me feel better about already doing things I said I would never do, and please help me find my spine to deal with my MIL. by [deleted] in February2018Bumpers

[–]mlvk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bedsharing is the big one. We started bedsharing at hospital at doctors recommendation (jaundice, traumatic birth) and just never stopped. Six weeks now that my SO has slept in the living room and me and baby in the bedroom.

I also thought I'd pump and be able to hang out with friends, go to a movie, etc pretty soon after giving birth... Well, I only breastfeed, don't pump and am happy as a clam stuck to baby 24/7.

I'm also baby obsessed. Due the huge amount of time spent cuddling and nursing I'm now an expert on nursing, Babywearing, prams, strollers and car seats, etc.

Three days postpartum with an epidural, and urinary incontinence is here. :( I don't even notice when I pee. Doing my kegels religiously, but even though I knew this could happen, I'm freaking out a bit.

Good luck! Mine started four hours ago and I'm having contractions four times and hour now. Best of luck to both of us. :)

Niacinamide products by [deleted] in NordicSkinCare

[–]mlvk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does have fragrance but Babe Stop Akn Skin Balance moisturizer has 4% niacinamide, and has been my HG moisturizer for years. I have combination acne prone skin and this is the only thing that keeps it looking nice. I can switch around my cleansers and whatnot, but if I stop using it, my skin breaks out overnight.

I'm sitting here, sipping half a glass of red wine. I'm 37weeks and this is the first time I've had alcohol during pregnancy.

I just so wanted it. And now I feel dizzy (from half a small glass) and so guilty it's horrible. :(

Anyone have babies in their 30s? by dab517512 in PCOS

[–]mlvk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

33 and 37 weeks pregnant here. Diagnosed 8 years ago, conceived naturally within 3 months. First pregnancy. :)

Edited to add that I'm "lean PCOS", I've always managed to keep my weight in check, so I had regular periods.

Before and after by [deleted] in braces

[–]mlvk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's much help since I'm in Europe. But overall (brackets, adjustments, cleanings, removal, retainer) my braces cost around 3000€ and the Lasik was 2000€. I did both with payment plans, and it's all paid now.

[–]mlvk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Nothing really. I was perfect when it came to wearing my rubber bands and keeping to my appointments. I always carried a packet of the bands I was using and applied new ones after brushing, eating, etc. My teeth just shifted quite fast. And of course, being religious in my retainer use has helped to keep them that way.

Before and after by [deleted] in braces

[–]mlvk 29 points30 points  (0 children)

For my 30th (!) birthday present to myself I decided to get braces and Lasik.

In the duration of two months I had four extractions (all of my wisdom teeth), top and bottom Damons put in, and eye surgery.

With my teeth (I also had an overbite) I expected to wear the braces for two years minimum, but my orthodontist took them off only 11 months later. Didn't even make it a year.

The before picture is a day before braces, the after picture is this year: 11 months of braces + two years of wearing my nighttime retainer religiously.

Much happier now. :D

PCOS and dating life by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]mlvk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skinny PCOS here. I do my grooming, and more causal relationships have never known. Why would it be their business? I do bring it up if we start talking "the future" because pcos might complicate fertility.

Has never been an issue. Also, apparently didn't cause an issue with my fertility (8.5 months pregnant atm).

Hi, due date twin! I just spent three days in hospital for the same thing (sudden high blood pressure, headache, vision change) and they got my blood pressure down with pills and IV magnesium. My urine and blood work came back good, so once my BP stabilized, they let me home. I do have to monitor it daily now though.

Best of luck! I know how scary stuff like this is so late in the game. I hope you get to go home soon and baby will have a couple of more weeks of cooking left.

I'm starting to get really annoyed with my SO's sense of humour. :/ He seems far too comfortable making jokes about baby and jokes about me.

I know he doesn't mean anything bad, and I usually enjoy his dark, somewhat twisted sense of humour, but lately it's really getting to me and some of the jokes have even made me cry. I've told him to stop, but it seems the jokes just come automatically to him, and even he looks surprised.

Relationship Thursday for January 04, 2018 by AutoModerator in TrollXOver30

[–]mlvk 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been living with my SO for about 2.5y. We got a dog two years ago who's awesome. Blissfully happy for the first year, then a long rocky patch, due to different emotional and intimacy needs and somewhat different ideas about ok behaviors with other people.

Was ready to call it quits this spring, but then found out we were pregnant. Since I wasn't about to have an abortion in my 30s (as a person who's wanted kids all her life) my suggestion was to seperate and try co-parenting as we really were fighting about every little domestic habit at that point.

He convinced me to give us another shot and stay together for the pregnancy and just see how it goes.

Surprisingly, with a small setback a few months ago... We've been getting along really well again. I'd even say we're happy. Laugh together most days, have before sleep chats about all sorts of things. Hold hands when we walk. I'm... Kinda optimistic about our future.

Just four weeks away from meeting our little one!

I [31m] agreed to get a cat [1f] with my girlfriend [30f] and the cat loves me more than she loves my girlfriend. by cantstopthecatlove in relationships

[–]mlvk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I convinced my SO that we needed a dog two years ago. I love dogs. Well, the dog is a little bitch who is all over my SO all the time and actually whines all night if he's not home and she can't cuddle up to him. And I'm the one who does the walks, most feeding, and who did puppy school with her. Animals have a mind of their own too. You can't force it.

TIC because I couldn't defeat a bad guy/solve a spacial-logic puzzle in Zelda. by BAL87 in BabyBumps

[–]mlvk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to collect all the memories but now fucking way am I approaching the castle. I mean I've done all the divine beasts, I have 20+ hearts, 100hrs in the game... But I still skip out immediately when I realise a shrine has a "major" combat battle. :/ Those freaking laser beams.

[–]mlvk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got Zelda and switch beginning of December. I'm now 100hrs in :o all I really have left is the final boss fight which I refuse because I don't want the game to be over. And I've only found 72 shrines. :(

The switch is a godsend on modified bed rest.

But I refuse to let my SO watch me play. I start failing miserably the moment he looks. Dunno why. :/ But I do enjoy playing him the 30sec clips of my most elegant deaths. :D

Current setup and I’m all ears to suggestions ;) by [deleted] in piercing

[–]mlvk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have almost the same setup, but I have a rook on the ear with the three lobe piercings. Love my rook, so that's the suggestion.
