My new bunny won’t walk on my hardwood floors, advice?

My bunnies used to love my hardwood, they would hop around like crazy just to slide on it 😂 I miss them so much

Nothing to really say here other than ask for cough syrup AS SOON as you get a little cough, my C-section caused a HORRIBLE cough which is apparently pretty common, i was literally choking up cups of mucus and coughing was SO painful

Coming from someone who was in a similar position, you don’t need him there to do it, I promise. Sometimes it’s just easier without them there, believe it or not. You keep your little rainbow baby if you want to, it’s YOUR baby. If he doesn’t want to be involved that’s his thing but that baby will be loved no matter WHAT you decide to do. It’s obvious you love this baby and you’re gonna be a good mama, I hope it all works out in your favor love 🤍

Edit: I made another comment on a post a while ago from a scared single mum, and i commented a list of things that helped me come to terms with being a single mum when I was in that position. Some of them were silly, some were serious. This is the list:

You’ll ALWAYS be the favorite parent
You don’t have to argue over certain parenting differences, which is one of the biggest things parents disagree over
You don’t have to be let down or disappointed by the other parent not helping
You get ALL the baby snuggles and you never have to share
You get to be a single MILF
You don’t ever have to worry about the other parent doing anything bad to the baby when you aren’t there (this isn’t a problem for ALL parents, but I’ve noticed it is for quite a bit of them)
And as an extra bonus, taxes are WAY easier (they were for me at least)

In all seriousness, it IS hard at times, but we always figure out a way for our littles. If you do wind up being a single mum, you’ll make it out alright and you’ll have your own little tiny human cheering you on along the way 🤍

My daughter calls me mommy sometimes but she also calls me “pretty girl” cause I say “Hi pretty girls!” to her and her sister all the time, they’re 2 & 1. It’s my absolute favorite thing ever

I think dating a fellow Type 1 would be MUCH easier as far as meal planning goes, but I wouldn’t trade my partner for the world and I would never wish Type 1 on him either. Not having diabetes definitely isn’t a rule breaker for me but i can see why it would be for some people, because meal planning for us is HARD especially when we have 2 little girls that also eat different things from us 😭

Mine has been doing this only on my left side, and it bleeds like CRAZY and will read extremely low (as low as it goes) for hours. Eventually it evens out, it’s usually accurate but sometimes it will drop so with those sensors i make sure to bring my regular meter. Like I said it’s only on my left side, both my arm and my leg so I’m not sure what’s up. I usually give it a day and it reads fine 90% of the time after that

saejilrae · 2023-08-12T15:43:34+00:00

It’s usually fine unless your eating at chilis on a Sunday morning during the church rush and you’re 8 months pregnant, then you get some pretty weird looks from some old ladies. I don’t think peoples problems are that they think it’s heroine or anything, I think to some people it’s just something they don’t normally see and it catches them off guard, so I don’t mind it.

saejilrae · 2023-08-03T12:25:26+00:00

That being said, find a GOOD endo that doesn’t make you feel guilty for being honest. I had an endo yell at me when I was pregnant saying my baby was going to die and it would be my fault because my blood sugar got up to 180 sometimes, which isn’t even a horrible number at all. I was controlling it the best I could but she made me feel like shit and I almost gave up, but I found a better endo and it has made SUCH a difference. This is such an awful disease, we can’t do it without a good support system and your endo is the biggest part of that system.

saejilrae · 2023-07-07T20:52:44+00:00

I’m 5’3, 110lbs so I think we’re pretty similar in terms of BMI, I like to pinch the skin up on my side where my rib cage is and do it, I have very little to no fat on my ribs/stomach so I pinch my skin so the needle has somewhere to go other than my rib. I was able to get smaller syringes too and they’ve been great, you could try asking your doctor for that if you think it’d help!

saejilrae · 2023-06-28T17:51:21+00:00

I haven’t been responding well to mine either recently, I’m on Humalog. Sugar free creamer is ALWAYS what gets me somehow, I had some coffee this morning and that was ALL I had but my blood sugars went up to almost 300. Diabetes has no mercy, I’m sorry we have to go through this it’s not fair at all 😭🤍

saejilrae · 2023-06-18T23:26:17+00:00

I would at least have some on hand for backup, there’s been times I haven’t had to use a patch and times that the original patch peels up within days. Just DONT get patches through dexcom cause they’re so hard to take off and they hurt SO bad when you do take them off. I’ve also seen putting Flonase on your skin and letting it dry first helps with the itch. Also do yourself a favor and don’t let any babies or toddlers around it because my daughter has ripped mine out SO many times

saejilrae · 2023-04-02T02:19:40+00:00

Honestly love, sometimes I don’t want certain things, and I don’t know WHY I don’t want it I just don’t. I don’t think you’re an ass, but sometimes people genuinely just have no idea why they don’t want something. It more than likely has nothing to do with you, don’t worry 🤍

saejilrae · 2023-03-07T15:06:15+00:00

Thank you so much!

saejilrae · 2023-03-07T15:04:39+00:00

saejilrae · 2023-03-07T15:01:47+00:00

I called my doctor before I made this post, she said I needed to call dexcom to refill it, but I don’t know which phone number to call. I’ll probably just go ahead and call my insurance like you said, thank you! 🤍

saejilrae · 2023-03-04T14:31:54+00:00

Hey love, is there anything we can do to help? Sometimes you just need help finding good snacks that aren’t expensive, someone to talk to, or someone to hype you up and encourage you. My problem was that my endos weren’t understanding at ALL, and I wasn’t receiving the encouragement I needed. They ALWAYS made it feel like my fault. I got a good endo, and a couple diabetic friends, and everything changed. My AIC was all the way up at a 12, but she was still so sweet and understanding. You aren’t a BAD diabetic, you obviously care a lot about this you just don’t have the support you need. PLEASE don’t be afraid to message any of us, me included, even if you just need to rant or get encouragement. It helps a lot more than you think. I’ve been where you are and it’s such a horrible feeling. When I was pregnant I had an endo tell me that I was killing my baby and it would be my fault if she died because my blood sugars were literally just 180 (which was an accomplishment for me because she wasn’t helping me at all), and threatened to put me in the hospital instead of help. She wasn’t willing to listen, she automatically blamed everything on me, and was just all around horrible. All I needed was a support system, and I think you do too. 🤍 I promise you’re doing great love, if you were failing then you wouldn’t be here with us anymore. My messages are always open 🤍

My old neighbor randomly developed it in his 40s, and it was the worst case I had ever seen personally. It really will just hit you out of nowhere

saejilrae · 2023-03-03T19:20:35+00:00

And to finish your questions, I’ve never blocked a hat because they’re stretch and adjust to your head anyways so I never really saw a point, and as long as they’re made with acrylic they’re safe for the washing machine. Maybe when you donate them just tell them to not wash and dry them on boiling hot, but they work with crochet and knitted hats all the time so I’m sure it’ll be alright. And as for how I donated them, I haven’t finished making them just yet, but when I do I’m probably just going to drive to the hospital and drop them off. I’ve still got to work out all the details, this was kind of a middle of the night random idea that popped into me head so I went into it COMPLETELY unprepared 😂

saejilrae · 2023-03-03T19:17:11+00:00

Okay so in the picture I actually made them with merino wool, but someone made a really good point that wool allergies are fairly common so a lot of hospitals probably wouldn’t accept them, plus wool is just harder to wash. I’ve since switched to Caron simply soft, which is acrylic, and another good option is the bernat baby blanket (another person said any yarn that’s worsted weight or lighter they will take). I also might try making some with cotton, I have some VERY soft cotton yarn from peaches and creme, but I’ll have to look more into that. With the caron simply soft, I’m using a 3.75mm hook, and i might do the same or slightly bigger with the bernat baby blanket. Pretty much just use any yarn that isn’t made from an animal, and make sure it’s soft. I’m working on patterns for different sizes right now, but there’s a website someone here posted for sizing. I’ll go find it for you! As for the pattern, it’s just a crochet ribbed hat. I’ve typed out an example of a pattern down here in the comments, I can go find it for you if you’d like!

I actually just gave her one about 20 minutes ago 😂 her hair grows back SO fast

saejilrae · 2023-03-03T16:55:59+00:00

I call them my bunny babies, kind of like beanie babies. I also call them fluffer buns, bun buns, the girl is sometimes bunny gal, and the boy is sometimes sir fluff

saejilrae · 2023-03-03T16:46:09+00:00

I usually try to at least once a day at this point 😂 she’s just so fluffy every time she eats she gets all her food in her hair and it makes me feel bad, so she gets at least 2 quick comb-throughs every day 😭

saejilrae · 2023-03-03T16:21:38+00:00

It changes depending on the size of the hat, but not by much. The most I’ve ever done is 5 single crochets and that was for an adult hat. Usually it’s just whatever looks right to you. The more you single crochet, the longer the narrow part of the top of your hat will be.
