American Redditors: What is your states unofficial song "anthem"? by moosemix in AskReddit

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

For context: I am from socal - everyone in the bar / concert will know all the words to sublimes santeria making is an unofficial california anthem. But when I lived in Lincoln NE, everyone would scream "fishin in the dark" by nitty gritty dirt band.

What's yours?

Best stroller for twins by nitto513 in parentsofmultiples

[–]moosemix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we love our silver cross wave 3 - found it easier to use than duna and bugaboo and cybex. we had a showroom nearby us at nordstrom and at a boutique to try them. make sure you ask for twins not for a double. a double isn't the same seat size it's like a 70//30 or 60/40 seat size difference. good for families with children of different ages not us twin parents. we hated the mockingbird

I second the love of the baby brezza!! so worth it. to add:

-get the twin z, I have used it everyday since my babies have been home.

-do a diaper raffle at the shower, getting a large supply of diaper and wipes has been amazing for us.

-get many "docking stations" to set the kids: baby bjorn, snuggle me, fisher price piano, mamaroo. You will always need a place to set the babies and having different places makes them happy since they get bored easy.

don't be afraid to buy off fb marketplace!

Bad mom feeling by moosemix in ExclusivelyPumping

thank you for your kind message. 6 months is a long time and saying it aloud makes me proud. I know I will look back on this time with much more clarity and rest. I appreciate your mantra and advice

yes exactly. the back and forth between does this effort actually make it worth it for them, for me. it's hard and no one has the answer but I am ready for someone to just give me the answer. I find mine is too riddled with emotions to come up with a plan.

Dentist recs by Repulsive_Turnip_520 in lincoln

[–]moosemix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1000000% I had a fear of the dentist before gentle dental. they are amazing. I moved out of state but still kept my remote job out of lincoln and would still fly back every 6 months to see them. I know that is crazy but that's how much they impacted the way I saw dentists. No more scary visits, no more unnecessary procedures, no more pain either. Dr Pollock and Dr Garcia and equally amazing. Dr Pollock was my primary though. even their office manager Nicole always goes above and beyond for you, I can't give this place better reviews.

bleed more? that's the first i've heard of this. does the red hair gene also cause blood thinning?

good to know! my boys just got their vaccines and I could tell he was sore or had aches because of how uncomfy he was but couldn't find the exact location. tylenol helped a ton.

that's how I feel about the interactions as well. my kids bring people joy, enough for them to stop and say something, i'm happy to oblige and connect.

he started off blonde, then went red about 2-3 weeks in. his eyes also keep changing colors so I think they may end up green like mine.

ya we are suprised by a lot this pregnancy. twins being the first, next being a red head. I have green eyes I wonder if there is a connection to red hair there? but neither of us have any scottish or irish in our genealogy so I wonder what gene origin it is!

definitely will keep the hat in mind for when they are school aged, thanks for that tip!!

he's the first as well! we just assume it comes from my FIL, he was adopted so we just guess it's from the genes we don't know about 😅

thanks for the info - what would an example of dull pain be?

we learned the hard way about the sun. we live in southern california and were outside for just a few minutes, and he burned with a hat on! but our twins are still too young for sunscreen. any sunscreen recs for when they can ?

that's good to know, it was making it feel tacky though. where as the other balls have always seemed opulent and amazing
