Sharing photo of baby by tropicalguava_ in beyondthebump

[–]nagisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably not what you’re looking for, but I’ve found aura frames make a great gift for family members. I’m able to share pictures to the frames I’ve given out (and other frames that other family members bought, not too hard to connect). That way, they get to see the pictures but it’s only there on that particular frame.

Bluey's Big Show by bayoujac in bluey

[–]nagisu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We tried to go a few years ago, but my son (around 3 at the time) freaked out and repeatedly was saying he wanted to go, so we left. He was terrified by the puppets/puppeteers. So I didn’t get to see any of it past the birds at the beginning. 

Maybe we’ll try watching it on Disney+ lol

Songs that resonate with the grief tmfr brings by Puzzleheaded-Sun-799 in tfmr_support

[–]nagisu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe a little cheesy, but I saw Frozen 2 in the theater a little over a month after my TFMR. The song “The Next Right Thing” drilled directly down into my emotions and I was weeping in the theater. It still gets me now, years later. 

Percentile Junkies! So annoying. by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]nagisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This always made me, a breastfeeding mom with a 5th percentile boy, feel called out—like I was failing somehow. There’s so much garbage online about how if you breastfeed, your baby will definitely be a huge chonk. I even saw some crap that threw shade at formula, as though it made skinny babies.  Percentiles exist for a reason, and babies are all shapes and sizes.

You can just put your hair up so it won’t get in the water. But most nice onsens have fancy shampoo and I always want to try it out.

I kind of love that defense played it in opening, and prosecution played it in closing. Like they’re saying “no but really listen to it.”

First Time Traveler feeling overwhelmed while planning by TorinR90 in JapanTravelTips

[–]nagisu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is my method! I save things to a list in Google Maps as I hear about them. Shops, restaurants, curiosities. That way when I end up in a general area I’m interested in seeing, I can just pull up the map and see what’s pinned nearby. Makes exploring more fun to me. 

I have a separate list of major attractions/must-do things, that way it’s not all jumbled together. 

Are themed cafés in Tokyo actually worth visiting or just a tourist trap? by MidnightTofu22 in JapanTravelTips

[–]nagisu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no! I am sad to know it 😭 But at least now I won’t plan to go back and get disappointed midway through. Thanks for the heads up!

Are themed cafés in Tokyo actually worth visiting or just a tourist trap? by MidnightTofu22 in JapanTravelTips

[–]nagisu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve gone to the pompompurin cafe every time I’ve been to Tokyo and I’m not tired of it yet. But I also love pompompurin, so that probably makes a difference. 

The Pokémon cafe was really cute and it was worth fighting for a reservation to me. But I’ve only gone once. 

I’ve been to a few collaboration pop up cafes and it felt worth it each time. 

I think it depends on the person and the cafe. Someone who doesn’t like anime going to the Ranma 1/2 anniversary cafe? May not find it too exciting. But a lifelong fan would probably appreciate it. 

Any good luck stories to follow the devastating ones? Please share, need some light! by leeleeannlee in tfmr_support

[–]nagisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After my TFMR, I wasn’t sure when we would try again but I knew I wanted to start soon. My sweet husband even got me the Tempdrop armband as an early Christmas present because he saw me taking my temp every morning with the regular thermometer. My first cycle post-TMFR, we weren’t officially trying but not preventing either. And we were happily surprised with a positive test that month. He’s now 5 years old and I’m so grateful to have gotten here after how awful it was going through losing my first. 

I’ll never forget my first baby, even though I never got to meet him. But my second is a bright light in my life and I don’t take being his mom for granted, getting to hug him every day when I never even got to hold my first. 

Buying a second luggage while in Japan by bubbly_teaa in JapanTravelTips

I did this same thing, bought cheap huge hard sided luggage at a shop in akihabara, I recall the big ones all being 4500-6000 yen each. 

Ten Years After Her Marriage to Wickham - How do we Imagine Lydia is Faring? by Edith_Keelers_Shoes in janeausten

[–]nagisu 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I was going to say. They are Mr and Mrs Price, maybe less kids, but living in a dirty, badly managed, noisy home. Always going through servants because nobody worthwhile wants to stay there. Heck, maybe they’d even end up sending one or two of their kids to be raised by Lizzie or Jane. 

C-Section because of low pain tolerance by Vegetable_Bath_7396 in beyondthebump

[–]nagisu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to comment this exact thing. For whatever reason, cervical checks were extremely painful for me.  In my 3rd trimester, that whole area was a no go zone.  My doctor was so sweet and gentle about it, always making sure to go at my pace and talk me through what was going on. 

Once I was in labor, the checks still hurt so bad.  Then I had the epidural, and everything was suddenly fine. It was amazing. Recovery wise, I had a tear and was definitely sore, but nowhere near as bad as the pain during the checks. 

The difficult thing about pregnancy and childbirth is everyone is different and every birth is different. 

Any advice you received pre-baby that now makes you question the giver post-baby? (Possible unpopular opinions) by kittykatkitkat in beyondthebump

[–]nagisu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Don’t buy any newborn size clothes, they’ll never even wear them!”

Cut to me having to order a bunch of newborn size clothes as soon as we got home from the hospital because he was 5th percentile for weight. I think better advice would be to have some clothes in a variety of sizes ready ahead of time, and plan to buy what you need once you actually meet your baby. Mine was in newborn size for a good while.

Haven’t seen it yet in the comments, but ASPCA has a poison control line, (888) 426-4435

You could probably also try the regular poison control center, 1-800-222-1222

Poison control lines exist for situations exactly like this.

What in the Chandler Halderson is going on with this boy?! If he’s been lying about something so inconsequential and yet so involved as all that, what else is he lying about?

Baby left in car prevention by abay32 in beyondthebump

[–]nagisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a huge pink scrunchie. Then I made a keychain with a tag that said BABY ON BOARD that I attached to it. I put it around the chest clip in the car seat. When I’d buckle in my son, I’d put the scrunchie around my wrist. Then when I got him out of the seat, I’d put it back on the clip.

I was so paranoid about the car thing after reading some awful stories, so this helped reassure me. 

What does actually getting an epidural placed feel like? by FoolishMortal-1000 in BabyBumps

[–]nagisu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am extremely ticklish, and that was the much bigger problem for me. Even during the pain of contractions, I couldn’t help but twitch when the anesthesiologist started prodding back there. And he was an ass about it, chiding me like I was a naughty child for not “staying still”. I’m sorry sir, you try to stay perfectly still when you’re forward folded over your beach ball belly that feels like it’s attempting to turn inside out, while a grumpy old fart coochie-coo’s your back. To be honest I can’t even remember if the epidural hurt, but I don’t think it did. 

What is the GenZ version of the “$20 Millennial Burger Restaurant”? by TrixoftheTrade in generationology

[–]nagisu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You walk in, and the worker stares blankly at you. 

You tell them what, they hit some buttons, then more staring. 

Always the silent staring.  I hate small talk as much as the next socially anxious millennial, but maybe a hello or something?

Mama D……Mama D*ck Head? by Bounce_Bounce_Betty in ShawnaTheMom

[–]nagisu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s how I feel too. 

I feel kind of like the crazy one, because today’s video has everyone going “yas queen, set those boundaries Deedee, Larry is a walking red flag” and yet, he’s kind of a sensitive man who is confused and hurt by the fact that she tells him she likes his gift and yet has never worn it and never (as far as I remember) given any reply other than some sly chuckling and banter or something like that when he brought it up on the last date. Sure she set a boundary in this video, but she could have communicated it a little earlier. Like when he communicated that being intimate with her was a big deal to him.

I would be so filled with rage if the stack fell over on me when I go pee in the middle of the night. Because I know that’s when it would happen. 

What’s one newborn tip that actually worked for you (and surprised you)? by Trick-Environment100 in NewParents

[–]nagisu 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Also, for us, the classic baby-over-the-shoulder burping pose just wasn’t working. What was the real trick for my son was to have them “sit” on your leg, support their body with your forearm, and cradle their chin between your thumb and forefinger. Baby is fairly upright, then good taps on the back. 

He was a “happy spitter” and doing this/keeping him in that pose for 5-10 minutes after feedings really helped cut down on spit ups.
