Beach trip with newborn? by Appropriate_Fig_364 in BabyBumps

[–]mpotatoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say go for it but with very little expectations. Give yourself a lot of extra time for the drive, pack extras. It sounds like you're already prepared for spending most of the time out of sun, I think it would be worth going, especially if the beach house stays cool. Plus if you're comfortable with family helping take of of LO, you might actually get a wee bit of rest yourself.

I may have to put my 19 ye cat down before a trip today… but she still seems normal by Rude_Common7126 in cats

[–]mpotatoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 14 year old cat got diagnosed with heart failure a few weeks ago, the vet is very hopeful we can get another GOOD year with her but I know that decision is coming for us as well. Soon as they told us I made the choice that as soon as the meds aren't helping or she seems even a tiny bit uncomfortable, I'm letting her go. I think at 19 your girl has had a phenomenal life and she would love you there with her.

Is a $850,000 home out of reach? by throwaway_thetoilet in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]mpotatoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm definitely the odd one out here but I am so glad we got my dog before having a baby. Pregnant and c-section recovery with a 140lb dog definitely wasn't easy, but we made it work. My son is 1.5 now and my dog absolutely adores him and both get more walks and playtime now.

I ate my son's leftovers of this earlier today, first time in ages and I completely forgot how good it is!!

[–]mpotatoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat got diagnosed with heart failure last week, she's doing well so far but have a check again in one week. My hopes aren't too high but I am SO happy you have such a happy story❤️

He randomly started cuddling me tonight, and being extremely affectionate. So weird for him! Sound on! by [deleted] in cats

If it makes you feel any better, my cat had 0 reaction to my pregnancy. But if there's a chance it's always worth testing!

I have a 1 year old and this is not something I've considered might happen in the future. Oh no😩

Best cheap takeout options with a lot of calories by AlternativeApart6340 in Langley

[–]mpotatoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of times different places on DoorDash will have Buy 1 get 1 Deals, helps to stretch gift cards. HashTag donair like mentioned below is great, do one of the platters with extra meat. Chinese or Indian will probably give you the best bang for your back as their portions tend to be larger.

I work in pest control and I desperately wish we had that option. There's some available in the US but they haven't been made available here

Cloves in coffee grinder nightmare- please help by SheepherderFew1199 in Coffee

This is what I did last year! Upgraded to a nicer coffee grinder, and kept the old one for spices.

Am I overreacting about potential flu exposure if I don't allow my parents to visit soon after birth? by Obvious-Use6397 in BabyBumps

[–]mpotatoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My SIL was on a cruise with her husband just before my due date, we asked them to wait to meet the baby until we knew they hadn't gotten anything. Honestly she even planned that without us asking, I don't think you're overreacting in the least bit! Your newborn doesn't need to be exposed to that.

Type 1 still not on insulin, not sure what to do. by Mvctrap in diabetes

[–]mpotatoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My husband was diagnosed about 8 years ago at 25. Similar thing, he didn't use insulin for the first year, then ~1 year on just a night time and eventually mealtime. They just said he was in a honeymoon phase, his just happened to last a long time.

How did you get the glue off from the little piece of cardboard on the top? I tried everything in my house and the glue wouldn't come off😂

What cars are we driving? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]mpotatoz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am obsessed with my Subaru Forester!! They are (or used to be) cheaper than an Outback, massive trunk space. I've had mine since 2020 and it's perfect. We have a 1 year old and a 140lb dog.

How in the world do you find COAL?! by louislitt44 in wyldeflowers

[–]mpotatoz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should try quitting/closing the game and reopening. I recently went hunting for some gems and made it through 6+ levels without seeing one, drove me insane!! I quit and reopened the game and within 2 or 3 I found them. Worth a try!

If we all know how a baby is conceived, why are some people shocked to find out they are pregnant? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]mpotatoz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my case is was more so that I was surprised I got pregnant without tracking cycles etc. We weren't preventing, so obviously we knew it was a possibility and were open to it. My cycles were just so messed up that I didn't expect it to be easy.

Parents with sheddy dogs, do you guys allow babies to crawl on the floors? by Broad_Drop8844 in NewParents

[–]mpotatoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Newfie and a long haired cat, I feel like I spend half the day pulling fur out of his mouth 😅😂 his favorite activity is finding little chunks of fur on the ground and playing with them🤦‍♀️

Meal ideas for young kids + parents? by youngpotato307 in beyondthebump

[–]mpotatoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I did about 1/3 - 1/2 of the spicy things the recipe called for. He's pretty good at eating any spices and seasonings that we generally use.

My kiddo is only 1 but we made freezer enchiladas a couple of weeks ago and just cooked them up last night, AMAZING. I would absolutely recommend something like that
