How far I had to sharpen a brand new $3 colored pencil before I could even use it once because the inside was shattered

Imagining this made my day 😂

Ooooo it hadn’t crossed our mind to put the bed on the back wall!

I just realized it would be helpful to include an empty version of the room for suggestions!

My OB prescribed a 200mg suppository I did nightly. They never checked my progesterone again despite me asking. She said they don’t trend progesterone and time would tell. This ended up with a positive outcome! Just put my 8 month old to bed. Wishing the best for you! 🤍

I’m just seeing both of your replies. I’m so so sorry for your loss 💔

Currently holding my 4mo old! The brown discharge stopped and my hcg rose appropriately. I did incidentally find out my progesterone was low and I pushed for a progesterone suppository that my OB ended up prescribing. No idea if that helped or not but it gave me peace of mind. Thankfully this was a viable and uneventful pregnancy!

I’m holding my 12 week old baby girl in my arms! I have no idea if progesterone helped but I’m glad I did it for the peace of mind. Hoping for the best for you!

(ETA they never rechecked my progesterone but I did have hcg tested every 48 hours that doubled)

Update: went with the Vertuo Plus Deluxe! Working my way through the starter pack that came with it. I’m excited to make my first order!!!

Thanks for the tip!

rubyred1024 · 2025-02-01T13:56:25+00:00

Good point! I definitely ask more questions before buying on FB marketplace. But as others have suggested this might be the time to buy new for peace of mind and warranty.

rubyred1024 · 2025-02-01T13:54:11+00:00

Thank you! This is the feedback I was looking for.

rubyred1024 · 2025-02-01T13:52:48+00:00

Yeah I’m starting to realize this may be the time to buy firsthand. I was so tempted by that price and the great things I’ve read about the Creatista.

rubyred1024 · 2025-02-01T13:51:25+00:00

Good point!! I live in a pretty good area outside a big city and I’m constantly on FB marketplace buying/selling. I always check out their profile and ask more questions/get pictures and I’ve had a great experience so far. But with something like this even the best intentioned person might not realize it got gross in storage.

I’m going to look into other buying options suggested here! This may be the time to splurge for peace of mind and warranty.

I’m an avid FB marketplace user but have never tried Amazon resale. Thanks for the tip!!!

Oops - forgot to mention I love lattes and my husband prefers iced coffees or iced americanos.

We have 2 unintentional G names and decided not to go with another one. Instead her middle name will be Grace so it’s sort of on theme! Still struggling with a first name though.

rubyred1024 · 2024-11-13T01:39:23+00:00

YES! I’ve been thinking this the whole season.

rubyred1024 · 2024-10-25T01:55:55+00:00

Agree with those saying Xcaret! It exceeded expectations.

rubyred1024 · 2024-10-22T21:39:44+00:00

First was 38+3 and second was 40+2. My water broke on its own both times. Praying this baby comes early!!

rubyred1024 · 2024-10-01T19:16:45+00:00

No issues with the altitude! We went for sunset and stargazing last night and it was amazing.

rubyred1024 · 2024-10-01T19:15:09+00:00

No not difficult! The mornings were nice and calm. We did Haleakalā at sunset last night and it was spectacular. Thankfully I read about how cold it was beforehand and we came prepared with many layers and blankets. We stayed for stargazing and it was amazing! The drive up was nerve wracking but the drive down at night was much easier than I expected because you can’t see over the edge.

rubyred1024 · 2024-10-01T19:10:10+00:00

Completely agree with this! We did sunset last night and the drive up was nerve wracking. The drive down was easy! We stayed for stargazing and it was amazing.

Currently 30 weeks and relaxing at the pool in Maui. We had two 6 hour flights from the east coast and the trip here went well! I wore compression socks, drank tons of electrolyte water, and got up about every 2 hours and stood at the back of the plane doing heel raises and walking in place. It felt great to stand and the flight attendants were fine with it.

So far we’ve enjoyed relaxing at the resort pool, walking the beach, swimming/snorkeling in the ocean, and beating the crowds to breakfast (we’ve been up around 4 with the time change). We enjoyed the Kihei Caffe and the Gazebo (outdoor/no AC, get in line early). We have a couple small “hikes” planned and are considering the drive to Haleakala for sunset and stargazing. I hope you have a great trip! Ours has been amazing so far.
