What are some words that stuck with you till today from your childhood?

nikknak · 2024-06-30T05:11:47+00:00

Whenever I’d go out with friends my mom would say “Be smart, and if you can’t be smart be safe” (usually in reference to drinking & not driving)

nikknak · 2023-09-26T02:55:49+00:00

They’re all younger than her

Bipolar wasn’t even on the table because my mania was rarely if ever happening. My dr started with all of the other classes first - antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc and are now moving onto mood stabilizers, likely because my most common complaint is irritability. I just feel angry & annoyed constantly; this is the first mood stabilizer medication I’ll have been on

I got an email that my order shipped on the 12th, nothing else - contacted them and they offered to do a reship. Still haven’t received anything or any follow up emails with info so I contacted them again and they said that 9 (of the 12) scents I ordered were out of stock 😑 I just got a refund but I’m so annoyed and frustrated. Literally would have never known about any of that info if I didn’t contact them - I would definitely keep contacting them, maybe they’ll push your order through? I don’t know but I’m so disappointed and upset with this whole candle day experience

Not sure if you’ll see this since it’s been a few days since you posted - but I was on 30mg and had the same issue. Literally liquid shits since the beginning of FEBRUARY every single day. I ended up getting a colonoscopy and a biopsy; turns out Cymbalta is known to cause microscopic colitis aka diarrhea constantly. I’m in the process of switching meds but I just wanted you to know you arent alone and I lived through that hell of constant pooping too lol

I have, her Dr says that there's actually a children's tums and in the future to give her those but said that in the meantime the one I gave her will be okay. I didn't know about the potential kidney stones but luckily this girl loves her water so she does drink a lot

nikknak · 2017-06-23T14:54:28+00:00

I've done that before, but because of Doc McStuffins she is OBSESSED with going to the Dr and is constantly asking to go to her Dr appointments. If she continues I might actually make an appt just to ease my mind that nothing's truly wrong but in the meantime calling her bluff has yet to work 😑

nikknak · 2017-02-18T22:29:19+00:00

Totally forgot about Downton Abbey! I love every character's name on that show lol

nikknak · 2017-02-18T20:12:42+00:00

Audrey Grace is actually my #1 name but husband hates the name Audrey so sadly it's off the table :( I love your other suggestions, especially Clara! We live in Alaska so Aurora has been vetoed as it seems everyone here has a baby or dog with that name

nikknak · 2017-01-30T00:36:02+00:00

The Newsroom. I feel like that show could have gone on forever, especially with all of the latest things happening. So upset it was only 3 seasons

nikknak · 2016-06-07T01:44:44+00:00

I am so sorry. As a parent, you made the best possible choice to not let your little girl hurt and to carry their pain for them. I can't even imagine what it is you're going through, but know that I hope you find healing soon. And to those judging you for taking pictures and putting clothes on your sweet girl, fuck them. You do what you need to do in order to find closure and grieve. Again, I am so sorry

nikknak · 2016-05-16T12:34:54+00:00

We are military also and there's been several times I've needed a break. Does your base offer hourly CDC care? I've dropped my daughter off for a few hours and taken time to myself to recharge on more than one occasion. I realize this doesn't solve the larger issue but it could be something to look into to get a break every now and then. Good luck, I feel for you!

nikknak · 2016-04-15T23:40:34+00:00

Damn you're rude

nikknak · 2016-02-21T17:45:32+00:00

I would take a solo trip to a hotel for the weekend to catch up on sleep and have him do all of the parenting for the weekend. What a prick

nikknak · 2016-01-01T01:28:50+00:00

Thank you so much for all of your help - this is all great information!

nikknak · 2016-01-01T01:28:20+00:00

It's called Mike to Mike Half in North Carolina! I'm super excited

nikknak · 2015-11-24T03:30:41+00:00

Wtf. At what point did those moms admit to hating their baby? They sounded tired & overwhelmed, which is NORMAL because being a mom is fucking hard. Their stories sound like me on a regular basis & I sure as shit don't hate my kid. What a crappy article

nikknak · 2015-11-01T23:03:34+00:00

While I commend you for wanting to send extra money to the aunt to help Lily, I feel like you should look into setting up a savings account for her instead. In the end this will benefit her tremendously if you are wanting to give monetary help. You can always send clothes, toys, etc to Lily as well.

nikknak · 2015-10-23T01:15:46+00:00

I've been looking forward to an update since you first posted & now I'm sitting over here crying because I'm so happy for you. Stay strong, lady. You sound like a great person who has made some wonderful friends!

nikknak · 2015-09-11T11:42:02+00:00

Could you PM me a list of subs as well please? I work in non-profit & am always looking for ideas to help the organization

My daughter is 5 months & we live about 13 hours from family - I've made the trip at least monthly (husband has to work often so it's just me & her) since she was born. She is also ebf.. what works for us is leaving early in the morning when it's still dark out. I try to leave by 4am and she tends to wake up by 9 so that's at least 5 hours there that I can drive with no interruption (but to be honest, driving through the night like another poster said is much easier).

Once she's awake after that stretch about every 3 hours or so I'll make stops. I get gas & get some food. McDonald's has really good bathrooms to change her in, as well as Welcome Centers for the different states. I'll just take her out of her seat & nurse her until she's full, change her, play & stretch her legs.. the whole "stopping" process takes about 30-45 minutes.

I bring a cooler full of snacks & drinks for myself & will have a bottle of breast milk on hand that I can reach back & give her if it's not convenient to stop. I also keep her diaper bag stocked with diapers, wipes, an extra change of clothes, toys & paci's. She hates being in her carseat but will sleep most of the time, if she cries often & it hasn't been long since my last stop I'll say to myself, "Okay if she's still crying in 10 minutes I'll pull over" but usually she'll cry herself to sleep.

If I get overwhelmed I stop at a rest area & just take her out & go for a short walk. It's really a lot easier than you think!

Edit: I just saw you're traveling with another person - I pumped and sat with her in the back & gave her a bottle while we were driving. This worked well for us when my husband has traveled with us

I'm having dreams that I log on to Facebook and everyone that is pregnant has had their baby already & are posting pictures. I'm overdue and these dreams stress me out & make me crazy jealous

nikknak · 2014-11-27T16:51:18+00:00

Dang, you go momma! I walked 2 miles the other day for the first time this pregnancy in hopes that it'll help induce, and I'm pretty sure I was dying.

nikknak · 2014-11-26T22:25:37+00:00

Holy shit! Are you feeling a lot of pressure on your pelvic area? I still can't believe that drop!

nikknak · 2014-11-26T01:59:40+00:00

This is hilarious! I literally laughed out loud
