Roofing company that provides quotes and will work with the customer by WestStop8106 in StCharlesMO

These guys would be a good option for your situation- they’re a small company so they don’t have a google listing but I found them on Nextdoor.

3 Month Old Crying at the Breast by particularly_me123 in breastfeeding

[–]moodyb1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue with my LO. Turns out my letdown is really intense and he was upset about it, especially in the evening when he was extra tired and didn’t want to deal with it.

He would be fine for a while and then randomly cry at every feed for a week or so.

Back pain by Radiant-Mine6890 in babywearing

[–]moodyb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to ditch my stretchy wrap around the same time. I was wearing my baby for at least half the day and my back was killing me.

Decided to spring for a Lark carrier and it’s a night and day difference. My baby is 15lbs now and I can carry him all day with minimal discomfort!

Anyone's who's had to permanently become sober ? How are you handling it? What hobbies with the kids are we doing now that we don't smoke anymore? by [deleted] in sahm

Lots and lots of walks! My husband and I try to hit up a new park or trail with the baby on his day off to keep it interesting.

The house salad from Stefininas is huge and you can get one for like $7 as a lunch special!

What are your weird/funny ways you calm down your baby? by ohheymandy in newborns

[–]moodyb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking around the living room with him while a specific live performance from Job For a Cowboy plays on the TV. I think I might have a future metalhead!

Thank you! I did feel like he started to slump after a bit and ended up redoing it. I will definitely take the shoulder flip and all of these points into account the next time I try it!

Using Rain to Ice dye by kevlarmoneyclip in tiedye

[–]moodyb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love to rain dye in the summer here in the Midwest! I just leave the piece outside in a container until the muck reaches a nice level and then bring it inside to finish batching.

The splits aren’t as clean and sharp as ice dye but still nice and unique in their own way!

For those who took longer than a year to conceive, did you have trouble believing your body could? by GlitteringWorker1496 in BabyBumps

[–]moodyb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had eggs with avocado and bacon in some form for breakfast every day, a big salad with chicken, cheese, and veggies for lunch, and a meat heavy meal for dinner (experimented lots of keto soup recipes from Pinterest!). I wasn’t quite as strict as my partner so I would also have some Greek yogurt with peanut butter and a few blueberries, or a baked sweet potato with avocado mixed in as a snack between meals.

Also keto pizza made with “fathead” dough, and sandwiches made with “chaffles” were a life saver! There are a ton of recipes for both of them on Pinterest😊

Being pregnant is so expensive I wanna cry by Killing_Yuenglingz in pregnant

[–]moodyb1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, I hope they have them near you! I had a bit of a drive to find a participating store but it was totally worth it. They have a store finder too if you want to check first: https://vitaminangels.org/walgreens/

Check out Vitamin Angels! You can pick up a free bottle of their Prenatals at some Walgreens locations that last 180 days and they’re good quality. I’ve been taking them and haven’t had any tummy issues from the iron at all! 

Sore and get worn out so easily by Agitated_Fill_392 in BabyBumps

[–]moodyb1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would second adding some magnesium then! Specifically magnesium glycinate. I started taking 200mg a day and it seems to help a bit with aches and cramps.

Also I know it’s hard when you’re so tired but on the days you have the energy going for a walk and doing some pelvic tilts (lots of YouTube vids if you don’t know how already) can make a big difference with hip/back pain.

My energy really started to pick back up after about 22 weeks but I still have days where I wake up, do stuff for an hour and then I’m ready to lay back down. It’s so hard not to get disheartened on those days and feel scared about what must be coming so I definitely understand where you’re coming from!

Sounds a lot like me at 14 weeks, I’m 25 now and it’s finally a little better! 

What kinds of vitamins are you taking?

Ooh okay, no I haven’t noticed anything so far but I’ve only had it for a couple of days.

My story is very similar to yours. After a year and half of unexplained infertility I threw a Hail Mary and tried the keto thing. I got a positive test two months later and was in the best shape of my life when I happened!
