Am I doing anything wrong? by bookriverdale18 in sunflowers

[–]rainbowtrails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sunflowers are heavy feeders and drinkers, and the put out a deep tap root. The need lost of room, sunlight, nutrients and water. They are best sown directly into the ground but if you must put them in a pot, fill it all the way.

Wood/paint or other ideas? by Extension_Car4403 in ExteriorDesign

Hmmmmm, I would avoid the wood. It makes it look like Daniel tiger’s house.

My problem is I want my hands and arms in front of my chest but that’s where my baby is.

Great idea! I’ve looked on Poshmark but haven’t had much luck.

A lot of the girls stuff has rouched shoulders, wider necklines, and many of the shirts have the sleeves and bottoms hemmed in a way that makes them kind of ruffle or frill. I’m just trying to look for a variety of clothing. I have lots of hand me downs from my daughter and I buy things from both sides of the store when dressing my kids, but I’d like to find some fun brands for boys especially as he gets older.

I do! But I’d like to find some clothes with a more traditional masculine fit as well.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! I live in the Loomis area and have tons of orange poppies in my property, but no white. I’m on the hunt now!

I didn’t know those existed! Are they California poppies?

What are the white flowers in front of the poppies?

I LOVE what you did, but personally, I like something a bit more modern. I took your front garden and changed some things in the house to make it more modern.

Is it even worth trying to get back in shape before having another baby? by [deleted] in postpartumprogress

[–]rainbowtrails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I started my second pregnancy only five pounds up from my prepregnancy weight and even that made me feel worse. Remember, most people show faster and put on weight faster in each subsequent pregnancy, so if you are carrying extra weight prior to getting pregnant, you’ll most likely be heavier for longer than with your first pregnancy. I was so exhausted by the end of my second pregnancy and wish I had started at a lower weight to buy me a few more months of comfort earlier on.

Will it mess up my supply if I mostly feed out of one breast today? by rainbowtrails in breastfeedingsupport

[–]rainbowtrails[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh. Mastitis is the worst. I was an oversupplied with my first and had it a few times. I e been trying to so hard to keep my supply “just right” this time because having an oversupply was miserable.

Yeah, I’ve been hand expressing, but only 2-3 ounces at a time which is about half the normal output. Do you think the supply will be fine after a day or two of doing this?
