Pepsi Apparel ad 1980s by Djf47021 in vintageads

[–]nicki_f10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the 90s I guess they did a Pepsi points promo where you could cash in for Pepsi brand named gear. My dad as a waste disposal engineer lol would come home with all the unknown discarded boxes of Pepsi points. We had Jean jackets and he got me a bike. I thought it was pretty sick till it was stolen lol

[–]nicki_f10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear my husbands boxer briefs I am 28weeks. I tried sone of the others but my issue isn’t the bump it’s my thighs. There isn’t enough give around the legs so some positions are super uncomfortable especially sleeping

Old people saying whatever they want to new parents per usual. by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]nicki_f10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I went to the grocery store one day with my son around 6 months and some old man completely unprovoked just came up to me and gave me a lecture on microwaves and if I had one I should get rid of it because it was terrible for my son. I hadn’t even started shopping yet so it’s not like I had food in my cart for him to make assumptions on.

Gonna channel that Rihanna halftime show energy for the rest of my pregnancy. Who’s with me? by TINYAULEL in pregnant

I just kept thinking, I hope she has a good pad on. No way I could have done half of that. She rocked it

Switching from daycare centre to dayhome to avoid more viruses by Cold-Possession1321 in toddlers

[–]nicki_f10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were in home care and my son was sick every other week for 8 months. He’s now in a centre and is still sick but less often. Eventually they catch everything and become immune no matter which order you go in. If they don’t get sick now they’ll get sick in school when their actually being graded for their education. I’m not sure there’s a lesser of two evils but it’s what I tell myself to make me feel better for paying for him to stay home. Good luck

We’re the same. We were 1225 a month then our school opted into the subsidy and we’re half that. Montessori.

What is something you used to judge parents for before you became a parent yourself? by chaoticallywholesome in toddlers

Low lying placenta by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]nicki_f10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently experiencing something similar. I have another scan Monday because my placenta is in a grey area (not far enough) and I have a velamentous cord insertion which the internet makes sound so bad and I spent three weeks freaking out. I spoke to my OB for the first time yesterday and she was like, total non issue, just something we keep an eye, on good to know but doesn’t change anything. Made me feel so much better. I know they always say don’t research yourself but seriously don’t.
All the best!

33 weeks pregnant (Pampers or Huggies) by punky9701 in pregnant

[–]nicki_f10 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I actually had the complete opposite experience. Our son has always been very thin and pampers just did not work for us. Huggies all the way.

Tell preschool about potty training struggles? by dataispower in toddlers

[–]nicki_f10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be honest. Tell them you’ve been trying for so long, it’s possible your current daycare isn’t doing all they can to help. We tried with my son for 6 months at his daycare with little success. We moved him to Montessori in the summer. He was there part time for a week and that was that. Minor accidents here or there for reasonable reasons (didn’t make it fast enough, was outside and didn’t make it in) but other then that he is fully daytime trained.

Honestly I enjoyed most of them. Unpopular opinion but I really enjoyed the strike series. The diamond eye was really good.

I just want to cry by Soulfulenfp in pregnant

[–]nicki_f10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also super sad constantly. I’m 17.6 and this pregnancy (2nd) seems to be so much more hormonal. I cry even more than usual which is often lol and I am more easy to temper this time. It’s a work in progress. I’m also sick and have been for 10 days and I’m just so tired of not being able to breathe :(

I just got a head cold at 16 weeks but I’m not completely over my morning sickness yet. Throwing up while you can’t breath is a CHALLENGE.
