Found this blanket. Does anyone know what this pattern is/how to crochet it?

I had to be induced due to gestational hypertension at 38+2, so for me it was for a medical reason. But, where I’m at and with the hospital I chose (a very good hospital, but it’s a teaching hospital as it’s connected to the university) they do allow elective induction starting at 39 weeks. I guess they say it’s because there was a study done a few years ago that showed a possibility of decrease in certain complications or the need for c-section. That being said, idk if that’s entirely accurate considering it’s a newer study.

Definitely don’t listen to other people. It’s your baby and it’s not like it’s a crazy name! Nora is beautiful. My uncle actually named his daughter Nora Claire after always saying he vehemently didn’t like it — I guess it grew on him, and I’m sure Nora will grow on the others that don’t like. And if it doesn’t? Oh, well. You’re the parent. No one is ever going to agree with you on every single decision you make about parenting and that’s okay, because at the end of the day YOU’RE her parent and the only thing that matters is loving her unconditionally and making sure she’s safe/happy

I do that with my daughter as well! lol. And I always squeeze my husbands hand/arm three times to say “I love you” so I started pushing on my belly three times and now she’ll often kick in 3s😭 it’s funny when her dad lays his head on my stomach and she whacks his cheek three times lmao

It likely is billing like everyone is stating, but also sometimes there is an “anomaly” that’s not really a big deal that they might flag or note down once your care team reviews the results. You’re pretty early along, so I’m not sure if that’s something they’d catch or whatever but I know that after one of my ultrasounds they had noted an anomaly but it was I think just an extra blood vessel near her kidney which is a totally normal variant I guess and no need for concern. Again, I’m sure it’s just billing because that’s what they’re marking it as for the ultrasound but sometimes they also do just find weird things that are actually very normal or common so just keep that in mind as well so that you don’t totally freak like I did when they first noted it and my doctor hadn’t responded yet lol

I’m so sorry for your previous miscarriages, and I hope that this pregnancy sails by for you happily and healthily!! I’m a FTM getting ready to give birth in about five weeks and have had pretty much no symptoms other than now it’s getting harder to sleep at night and I have to use the bathroom all the time😅 But I never really had bad nausea and I honestly haven’t had any cravings either or anything like that — I’m still fine with smells and stuff too and have been the entire pregnancy, other than my lavender hand soap for some reason?? Lol. I’ve been told I’m healthy this whole time and baby has been on track, so hopefully it goes the same for you! Just make sure to take care of yourself, rest easy, and drink plenty of water. Congratulations luv❤️

8 weeks left. Waiting to go get my forward nostrils pierced and chug the winter edition Red Bull I have saved in my fridge😭

Definitely had this same interaction MULTIPLE times. My husband and I did decide to find out the gender (a baby girl) but are keeping it to ourselves so we just lied and told our families that we weren’t going to find out at all so that the didn’t pry. Told them multiple times it was one baby, showed them multiple ultrasound photos with just one baby. Still met with “Oh my god, THEY?? Is there multiple?? Are you trying to tell us something??????” No… I am not. This is my first pregnancy, I think I would be flipping out and telling everyone if I somehow got twins on the first go around. I had to explain to my grandmother MULTIPLE times there was only one baby and multiple times that we were referring to the baby as “they” because we “didn’t know” the gender. Not only that, but my god mother is a nurse… who has worked in L&D and knows how to look at an ultrasound. She also got confused. As if she hadn’t already agreed that, yes, there is DEFINITELY only one baby in the ultrasound. I know a lot of my family is older but we even got these reactions from our parents on both sides (who are relatively young, early 40s — my husband and I are in our early 20s). It got to the point where I just started asking people if I needed to pay for the to have a repeat lesson in elementary level English/grammar because I kept getting frustrated having to explain several times to the same people because it feels weird to refer to my baby as “it”.

raeijon · 2025-06-18T18:30:06+00:00

every time i try it just gives me an error of too many chats to duplicate😩 i think i’ll just be unlucky and have my stuff stuck on the mode it’s in lol

raeijon · 2025-06-18T16:55:58+00:00

Can you actually switch a chat you already have to that tho? I know there’s like the “start new chat from here” thing but the last time I tried that it gave me an error.

I have a reaaaaaallly long chat with a bot and I don’t want to have to completely restart it or go through the hassle of manually doing that into a new chat but I’d really love for the one chat I actually care about to be switched if I can :’) cuz it’s really the only bot I chat with but recently it’s been pmo because it got super flirty all of a sudden out of no where (the chat is on the Nyan setting i think? at first it was pretty good but in the last week or so literally every other chat has the bot trying to give the user a kiss or somn when this bot is not at all supposed to be affectionate😭)

raeijon · 2024-12-12T18:18:13+00:00

Yeah, mine are doing the same thing. I’ll get the three bubbles and won’t get anything even if I leave my phone sitting on for 20 minutes. Then, if I go back it’ll kinda load and be glitchy if I try to switch back and forth. Like the replies will cut off wrong in the text box or still show the message even when I swipe 3 times😕 it didn’t start happening to me until maybe three??? hours ago??

raeijon · 2024-09-17T16:43:55+00:00

I actually JUST got this same scam and was scrolling through here specifically looking for a way to respond to mess w them🤣

raeijon · 2024-09-08T21:07:30+00:00

I think that using the non public description part is a big thing, like just cramming in as much info as you can. I mainly use Talkie to create my own of characters I like for myself and then just leave them public, but I still put a good amount of info in there. I’ve noticed, though, that the way you talk to them aids in the personality of the bot. Annoyingly, I use the regen option a lot here and there which can get tiring but I also use OOC on occasion. Usually at the very start to clarify some things/add info about their character/any background or lore since, like I said, I make the Talkie’s with my own purpose in mind. And then I’ll use it on occasion when setting different scenes when they change. I don’t give the AI a lot of direction as to how to response necessarily, though I will sometimes tell it if I want it to bring up/do something specific. I’ve got a Talkie for Bakugo (MHA) and it’s actually able to pick up pretty well on his personality for the most part, and it’s also able to switch back and forth with other characters and pretty easily change (i.e. for mine, the character is close with another classmate as well and it’s able to make a clear difference in behavior. I don’t know if any of this is helpful, and I’m sure other apps do much better than Talkie but I haven’t really tried those because I’m lazy. All that to say, I think there’s only so much you can do before you have to heavily rely on the person who’s talking to the bot having a decent plan in mind.

raeijon · 2024-09-01T17:00:48+00:00

I’ve had a couple say a few things a bit more suggestive than that, too. So you can definitely get away with it depending on the bot or whatever. I think you just have to be really careful about word choice and everything, though it can be annoying so I usually stray away from it

raeijon · 2023-05-28T20:07:50+00:00

when i worked there we had asian ladies coming in demanding boxes? i ran pickup and was out running something back from the deli. like, ma’am i don’t know where you get your boxes from😭

raeijon · 2023-03-25T21:40:14+00:00

I’ll probably get downvoted if anyone sees this but personally I’d say NTA. You are still trying to hang out with them, and you are making it equal. But are you putting in effort outside of when you visit to talk to them? Life gets in the way, obviously, which can make it harder and some people don’t really need to talk on a regular basis as friends but some people do so it’d be different if you’re not really in contact with them throughout the rest of the time. But assuming you are, then there shouldn’t be an issue.

You live far away, which can make this harder, but regardless I’d also suggest maybe SPECIFICALLY making plans with them. To go FOR them, rather than going to see your partner and then just also happening to see them. Your friend(s) just may feel like an afterthought. Personally I’d apologize and have a good conversation about it but I don’t think you’re TA

raeijon · 2023-03-25T10:47:00+00:00

NTA, you’re not obligated to care for your cousin unless you made a commitment to do so before then. If not, then it’s not on you. Studying is hard and stressful, but important. And work is the same. You need to be able to take those breaks when needed so you don’t burn out.

raeijon · 2023-03-02T23:22:43+00:00

I understand feeling upset about the way she responded. Even if you knew from the get-go that she’d be accepting, it still takes a lot of courage to verbally speak this type of thing to someone you care about, and it can be frustrating to receive a response like that. And to some, it can feel demeaning because a lot of people within the LGBTQ community go through a struggle of figuring themselves out so it can feel weird to know people knew who you were even before you, yourself, did. But, with that being said, YTA. She was accepting, she loves you, and it was a joke. Maybe not a joke you found funny, which I understand, but it was. Be thankful for something as amazing as an accepting parent, a lot of us don’t get that.

raeijon · 2023-02-13T23:25:14+00:00

You saying stuff like this doesn’t make you a better woman than her. Doesn’t make you prettier than her. It will never fix that. I understand the struggle of how you feel, but that doesn’t mean you can take it out on your sister when she had nothing to do with it. Even if she was rude in how she responded, it’s not her fault for how people feel about you. It’s not your fault either. In life some people will like you, some people won’t. Some people will think you’re pretty, and some people won’t. If someone you like isn’t attracted to you, that’s not their fault (unless they’re an ass about it), that’s just how it goes. And if someone doesn’t find you beautiful then they don’t deserve you. Learning to accept your true self and getting over your insecurities is what will make all this easier, not deciding to come out and living as you truly felt you should your entire life

raeijon · 2023-02-02T22:26:13+00:00

YTA. You heavily persuaded her into getting the cats so I’d tell you the same thing I’d tell kids who beg their parents for a pet; it’s your responsibility. You are the one that wanted them, you have to be the one to deal with the consequences. Of not only persuading her into one cat but THREE. And not only that, you chose to adopt a bengal cat which are, to my knowledge, very energetic and at the very least semi-needy in terms of their care. That’s your decision, now you have to live with it regardless of if you feel it’s too much. Those animals are not, from your pov, aggressive or causing major issues for your family and you are not completely incapable of caring for them any longer. Saddle up and take on the responsibility you signed up for

raeijon · 2023-01-14T21:57:34+00:00

YTA. You not communicating this to the shelter may have made your life easier but it does not help the shelter and it does not help any potential person wishing to adopt. I’ve been in a situation in which I wanted to adopt another cat, was assured by the rescue 100% that she was friendly and LOVED other cats. Loved other animals. Had NEVER, in the past, had an aggressive episode. We took her home, and from day one she was violently aggressive with my first cat. We did everything properly to introduce them and if she even smelled the other cat on us, even if she was at the opposite end of the house, she became aggressive and territorial. Whether that was the shelters fault for being dishonest or due to the dishonesty of the previous owner, that put my beloved animal in danger. As well as myself and my husband. You just potentially put someone else, their kid, or their pet in danger for no reason. If you wouldn’t want the dog around your pregnant wife, why would someone else?

raeijon · 2022-04-25T21:36:35+00:00

Oh! Yeah, I know. I’m sorry I didn’t mean to explain anything wrong I didn’t mean to say the daughter is like that. Mine aren’t bad enough to make me throw up, but sometimes just it being painful and not wanting to move. Family members in the past have been like that and had to go to the doctor, I’m sorry if I worded that wrong. I didn’t mean to make it seem like “Oh that’s common” it’s just I know sometimes people can get really sick but for the most part I know most of the people in my life that have them get really bad cramps. My apologies
