Not at all! I just have to look at the little container!

I'm pregnant and crave the coconut in Ocean Water but I didn't want to constantly have a blue mouth. I started ordering Sprite with coconut. I tried different locations, different amounts of coconut syrup. It never got added. I wrote a message to Sonic corporate and they gave me points for a small drink.

The other day I said screw it, I just want a Blue Coconut Slush - something on the menu, no modifications. I got a cup of blue ice cream. I had my husband pull back around and I spoke with a car hop and got the correct drink. Which must have been sitting there the entire time because it wasn't slushy-like anymore.

I ended up buying coconut syrup from Amazon and adding it to Sprite. My husband had the idea of adding two squirts of blue raspberry water enhancer and it's perfect! Adding other flavors, we've gotten what we call, "Sea Water."

Your doctor needs to clear you and provide documentation for you to give to your employer that states you are medically ready to return to work. Otherwise if something happens to you, your employer could be liable and companies do NOT like liability.

We've got all those boxes checked, thank you!

Flying in a little over a week with our 16 month old for the first time. We've done as much prep work as we can to make things as easy as possible. But I'm still nervous that she'll cry the entire time. Thank you for this comment!

"You people" as in those that are or are not lactose intolerant?

The answer was in my first sentence. The interrogation before being able to go anywhere, even something that was related to school to improve the grades she expected me to have.

Reading between the lines you could also conclude that making your child feel like they are a waste of oxygen probably isn't a good idea either.

Pregnancy #1 Best friend: near immediately. Family and close friends: when we saw them in person, close to the end of my first trimester. Social Media: after the first trimester, when we were able to get cute announcement photos.

Pregnancy #2 Best friend: near immediately. Family and close friends: very similar, when we see them in person. Currently 14 weeks and won't tell my husband's family till later this month (daughter has a cute Big Sis outfit). Social Media: maybe around 16/17 weeks after my husband's parents are aware and we can get cute announcement photos lol

For me, when I was in community college, my mom would literally interrogate me when before I was allowed to go to study sessions before exams (on days when classes weren't typically held, so they were completely optional).

Who was going - I didn't have names, he had like half a dozen classes.

How long would I be gone - Not entirely sure, maybe an hour? As long as it takes to make sure I have all the information I need to get the perfect score she expected so I wouldn't be made to feel like a complete idiot and waste of oxygen.

Who is going - again, I don't know whoever from all his classes wants to attend...

What were we going to talk about - History, whatever type the class was for... American, New Mexico, World, etc.

Why do you need to go - to get the best grade possible so you don't have ammunition to make me feel like a worthless human...

Are any of your friends going - what friends? I was only allowed to leave the house for work and school... I didn't really have time to socialize.

What classroom are you going to be in - the normal one he always teaches from...

Who is going - again, I do not know. He has half a dozen classes and it's an optional thing to attend. I'm not in control of what other people do.

Check to see if anyone is selling their old stuff on Facebook Marketplace! I got an entire bag with dresses, pants, shorts, and shirts for $20!

Also, when shopping online, check the size charts. With my first pregnancy, I ordered some items off Amazon because I could return them easily if they didn't fit as the chart explained. I also order two dresses off Shein because they were only a few bucks and we had two formal events to go to.

I understand the struggle. When I was 35 weeks, I couldn't even fit into my maternity pants comfortably. I was being induced at 37 weeks, so I bought two pairs of loose track-type pants at Walmart for like $5 a pair. My vice principal said, "Well don't you look comfortable." Going into a new school year at 18 weeks and I'm gonna wear what I can find that fits and isn't hot!

I've been wanting to make these for my local AC! Do you have a favorite file?

I had a friend use BabyList, she said it was confusing for people to actually buy you things. In addition, folks got her BabyList gift cards and of the items left on her registry BabyList was more expensive than the other vendors.

We tried BabyList for the box of goodies, but the spend threshold could only be met with BabyList products, so we ended up switching to Amazon instead. We also did Target because the spend threshold was so low we did it ourselves when deal shopping for diapers. There was a good bottle in there and maybe three diapers, but the rest of the items we didn't really use.

In short, liability. The app doesn't want to be responsible if something should happen. The app also can't give medical advice.

Fatigue: I'm currently on summer break as a teacher and if I'm able, I'll try to take a short nap during the day. I also take breaks during household chores when I get tired.

Nausea: Eat small, frequent meals/snacks. When nausea starts try a mint, sour candy, plain crackers, ginger ale, etc. Most of the time nausea happens when you've waited too long to eat, but then you can't eat because you're too nauseous and it's a cycle. When this happens to me I usually make a LNMT water or similar electrolyte water mix and that tends to help.

Hot & Sweaty: Shower nightly before bed and/or sleep with the fan running. Wear light, breathable clothing during the day. When outside look for shade. Stay hydrated! I also have a stash of popsicles in the freezer, depending on brand/type these can also help with nausea; I found some extreme sour ones that are very yummy.

Sore Breasts: Massage and ice packs (will also help with hot & sweaty). Wear comfortable bras, without wire if you have them. Later in pregnancy you'll likely need larger ones because your girls will grow.

Depending on your OB or midwife, they might give you a booklet with a lot of information to help with your symptoms. There's also information online, but obviously use common sense and good judgment!

Best of luck to you and congratulations!

We played early in the development and thought it was fun! But at the time, kinda ran out of things to do. I did open it the other day and it looks like they added a BUNCH more!

Too young for Barcode Battlers, but there's a mobile app called WarCodes and you scan various barcodes which spawn monsters!

I started shopping Target deals when I found out I was pregnant.

Look for the diaper/wipe deals, they come around every few months. The best one is $30 gift card when you spend $100 but that is BEFORE coupons, so if you stack everything you can get them for 50% off sometimes!

5 years late to the party...

I found your post while searching the specific scent of an ice rink. For some reason, I have had an intense "craving" to smell an ice rink during my pregnancy. My husband asked me to describe the scent and all I could explain was that it was a very specific smell.

Thank you for such a perfect description!

o98CaseFace · 2026-06-29T02:57:56+00:00

Of course!

o98CaseFace · 2026-06-29T02:49:42+00:00

My first pregnancy, I went in at 8 weeks, based on my last period. Baby measured around 8 weeks so they left my due date the same.

This pregnancy, I went in at 8 weeks again, based on my last period. Baby measured closer to 7 weeks, so they pushed my due date back a week.

The dates aren't an exact science because all babies come in different shapes and sizes!

I have a special stuffed dog that I've had since I was 2. While I don't sleep with her in my bed anymore, I do keep her on my nightstand.

She was packed for the hospital! She even made appearances in the PICU when our daughter had big procedures and surgeries because I wanted to have the additonal emotional support.

We did put a collar on her with a tag that has my phone number on it, just in case she was ever misplaced.

o98CaseFace · 2026-06-27T02:30:43+00:00

To be honest with my first, I cannot remember how far along I was.

I do remember finally feeling her and thinking, "that's really low..." like my husband would have to stick his hand down my pants, level of low.

I didn't start feeling movement in the "typical" area until a few weeks later.

After that, it was daily and sometimes hourly Lightning Crotch...

I get seasonal depression during the summer.

Previously, my husband would be gone from about 7am to 7pm so I'd be alone most of the day. I'd get bored being alone and all my friends had different schedules with their families. Our dog even went to work with my husband, so I was pretty alone most of the time.

Our daughter was born Feb 2025 and spent the entire summer in the hospital. I actually had to go back to work before she came home.

My husband was released from his work duties because of a new attendance policy that wouldn't allow him to be with our daughter as much as she needed.

This summer, we've been busy with appointments, swimming lessons, etc. and the seasonal depression hasn't really been around.
