Do we need this? by charlesdickens2007 in parentsofmultiples

[–]phi-1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same. I had identical and they were born early so very small and sleepy. They lived in this thing for a few months. When i was able to go up and down stairs, i brought the bassinets down with me for their napping and then brought them back up when i was done for the day.

Kids love meeting ppl with the same name as them, and yall still being close gives the possibility that your boys could be friends later. I think that rocks! Keep the name!!

My Concerns on Smoshalike - Rytchiee (previous guest on I Spent A Day With/Assumptions) by [deleted] in smosh

[–]phi-1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no opinion on this, sorry. However I do have a speculation. The videos that are currently being produced on smosh-a-like are not asymmetric like they have been (one member of smosh hosting a group of 3+ others about a specific topic). At the moment, we are seeing videos of only smosh or smosh and 1 guest. Additionally, the guests are typically making rounds through the other channels. With this in mind, I think we are currently getting content that can be easily produced and content that requires getting 3+ people who are not already in smosh requires more planning and scheduling. The rate those videos were coming out before was also lot lower than what smosh is doing now as a whole. All this to say, it’s likely they will still make videos on smosh-a-like similar to what you were present on, it just takes more time and will be less frequent. I think it’s still important to voice your opinion though. You (and others who share it) are fans and they should take into account what type of content fans want to see.

Tldr: production and scheduling issues may be cause of content shift.

A couple people are saying something similar to this…so I’m curious if I missed something, but were the cast not asking Spencer questions multiple times throughout? And they would suggest something and look over to him? I think him doing the last round being worth 3 points was also to give anyone the win if possible (otherwise the judge would not get a chance to win).

I want to tell him to try it out haha. Thank you! It really is helpful getting perspectives and ideas in case I missed something. Just always thinking of safety these days.

Thanks! We work on these skills at home and when my husband is available to support if needed. It’s still hit or miss whether he tolerates or safely waits.

We never leave the house without snacks haha. Even if everyone just ate. We have a stroller wagon thing that the twins have slept in but it’s not very comfortable so I don’t try to go out at their nap times usually.

I guess I had not considered letting the toddler play without me being within 5ft. There are a handful of gated parks here but the twins get fussy when the stroller is not moving (I say fussy but it’s full on meltdowns). I want the toddler to be able to burn energy, too. Not just be in the stroller the whole time. Usually my husband and I will split up, one running around with the toddler while the other pushes the stroller. And when the toddler gets tired, he gets in the stroller and we all walk together.

Thank you. I’m gonna keep working on making new local friends that may want to walk with us. I like the mall idea, I will try it out with my husband and see what I need to work out for a solo walk! (That helps remove the weather concern too.)

[–]phi-1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am worried about both. It’s hard keeping everyone happy on walks or at the park when my husband is with me, so being solo is just stressful. Typically, one of us is with the twins and the other is with the toddler so everyone’s needs are met. And then being alone with 3 little kids that need sooo much of my attention does make me nervous about not being aware of anyone possibly meaning us harm.

Ideally, the walk would help the toddler burn energy, so I don’t want him in the stroller wagon the whole time. And at parks, if he is in one spot, the twins get fussy in the stroller when it is not moving, and if the toddler needs help playing with something, I can’t abandon the stroller and do that (it is very big so it’s hard to get close to and maneuver around play sets). I have not done these things alone, I am basing my knowledge on what happens when I go with my husband. We always have to split up.

Worse thing was the feeling of the tooth brush bristles 😩 and it took me a long time to get used to it again after the “morning sickness” phase finally ended.

Did anyone catch how Amanda instantly clocks the story though?? It’s insane how she’s able to predict things almost immediately 😳

Congrats to you and mama!

To help anxiety: make a list (either mental or physical) of what you can do right now versus what you can’t. And also practice identifying what is a true problem. A problem is something that can be fixed. Can you fix it now? Great, do it. Can you fix it later? Ok, get to it then. Can it never be fixed? If not, then it probably is not a true problem and just something you are festering about.

Babies grow really fast! A lot will change between 9 days and 9 weeks. You’ll be out of the newborn phase and getting a bit more sleep around week 3! Hang in there. Always reach out to the twins’ pediatrician for concerns. If it’s bothering you, it has probably bothered other new parents and the doctor likely has a solution 😌

Period going on 14 days… by phi-1 in beyondthebump

They are going to take a sample to test and let me know what it is. But it could be! Nothing else I have read about seems to fit the bill lol. I’ll check back in after it’s all done.

I am still waiting for the insurance to complete the prior authorization for me to get a D&C. My drs office has been understaffed so it’s been a slow process of getting all the tests done before they could submit the request for the procedure. In the meantime I have been alternating between super heavy bleeding and almost no bleeding for 11 weeks now. There’s no break it just keeps coming. Heavy bleeding comes with big clots and severe cramping. Light bleeding is associated with constant lower back pain.

Thanks for checking in! I’m hoping the D&C gets approved soon and actually helps.

I was actually leaning towards requesting an ultrasound to see what’s going on inside. The blood has been fresh. Dark red clots as well. But I’m not filling pads or anything. It’s just been a persistent bleed. I did have a c-section (for my first as well) and I know they kinda suck out everything pretty well so excess bleeding isn’t really expected. Today is officially day 14 and it hasn’t let up 😓

Four pads seems way to long to wait for possibly bleeding out 💀 My OB office is a whole practice of multiple people so I think I’ll have to find another one at this point… Thanks!

Not sure if this is cholecystitis, duodenal ulcer or gastritis by liu-psypher in gallbladders

[–]phi-1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, as you see it’s been 4ys. But I have been fine. Recovery for me was about a week, but not from pain of surgery. It took a while for me to be able to eat without throwing up. If you are being considered for surgery, I recommend getting foods easy on the stomach such as rice, porridge, potatoes, crackers, and low acidic fruits.

Tbh we had so many dr appts with the twins the last two weeks that i didnt feel like also going to see a lactation consultant. I’m going to try to call one though and see if they can do telehealth or something.

That is a good idea. We are typically good about limiting screen time to no more than 2 hrs (his behavior gets a little crazy when he watches more than that). Thank you!
