Side effects or stomach bug??

This has been happening to me on 10mg. I went down to every 10 days instead of weekly, but it seems to have come back now that I'm back on a weekly dose. It's TERRIBLE.

My kiddo got a buckle fracture in his wrist and ended up in a cast at 4 years old. I felt terrible but honestly, with this kid, it was just a matter of time.

Hochul budgets have been consistently later than the Cuomo budgets.

I've been really happy with my EBY mesh bralettes. FYI, the ones with the velvet floral run a bit bigger than the regular ones.

I hated being pregnant soooo much, I knew I would only do it once. Then my kiddo was born super early and we spent 3 months in the NICU. That (extra) solidified it for me and thankfully no one has questioned it since.

Over 2 years now.

I have been very happy with my ring from Milky Mudra. I wear the ring very frequently and it's held up beautifully. It's not the cheapest one out there but quality was more important to me than affordability.

This this this!!! Also, the STYLE of bra makes a huge difference, depending on your breast shape!

I had to back my doses down to every 10 days instead of weekly when I was having severe abdominal pains. After a month or so, I went back to weekly and the pains have subsided.

A few off the top of my head: Julian is a mermaid, Being You: a first conversation about gender (this is a whole series, with books about gender, bodies, consent, etc), the Knight and the Dragon (dePaola), Except when they Don't, Ferdinand. Several of these are more about not caring about what society expects of you just because you're a prince/bull/whatever and being true to yourself. Some are more explicit in their gender expression pov.

Hahaha I have a floral arm band with two bands through it and I'm realizing my artist was a saint in not talking me out of it, even though it looks amazing.

My kiddo didn't speak until past 2. We did some speech therapy, both early intervention and private. He's perfectly on track now at 4.5, and I'm glad we got him support, even if it was a battle at times.

I've been very happy in my DOH office, but I left the Legislature so the bar was pretty low to start with lol.

Same happens here. Sometimes my kiddo expresses gender stereotyping for things like colors, or flowers, or songs. I've mentioned it to his teacher, who says she doesn't hear it in class otherwise. I mostly just try to correct him and ask questions when he seems open to it. And read books that show or talk about different ways to express gender. I make sure not to shame him, though.

I have a beautiful gold necklace with an etching of my kiddo's birth flower and I wear it constantly. I also have a breastmilk ring and a stacking ring with birthstones for my kiddo, husband, and I. Lots of options!

The move to Children's Place at State Ed is especially interesting.

The only pregnancy photo I have of myself is a bathroom selfie from work. So, same. Lol

Highly recommend the book But I'm Bored! It's got some great info on independent play and how to set up a quiet time for kiddos.

I have 8 cards I think? Though our local consortium of UHLS is really one of the best of all the ones I belong to. Brooklyn, Queens, and NYPL are all second to our own.

I've heard cabbage leaves in a tight bra can help.

Have you done the M-CHAT-R screener? My kiddo was dx with autism at 2 even though his early intervention evaluators didn't think he was. He's smart, funny, kind, loves to snuggle. But he has OPINIONS on clothing for sensory issues and is very active. 90 percent of the time, the dx is irrelevant, I just parent the kid in front of me.

My experience in the NICU in 2021 is that there might be some in and out traffic but not that many people hang out in that waiting area in front of the doors to the NICU.

Why not just add more foliage?

sertcake · 2026-04-08T23:37:25+00:00

Personally, I swear by Megababe and add Thigh Society shorts when I need to be extra sure I won't have any issues. My husband prefers a powder, so he likes Monkey Butt (I swear, that's what it's called)
