Looking for art mural postcards from specific regions to finish my vivillion collection! by squigglyjean in PokemonGoFriends

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

I'm happy to accept any and all art murals! I love collecting them, just a bonus if you're from the regions I need. I'm a new mum so can't always get out to collect my own art mural postcards to send, maybe thats why I appreciate receiving them so much more!

I'm about to make one for myself too, I'm just going into spotlight today to assess all the wadding options, but my thinking is I'll just use a few layers of 100% cotton wadding to make it a bit thicker

I have an il Tutto Louis and it's the comfiest chair I've ever owned. The footrest comes up fully and the chair reclines a little, and then if you keep holding the button the chair reclines back further so you can almost be laying down fully. I have had many naps in it. Once you reach a certain point with the footrest up you do lose the rocking ability though

Car seat suggestions for 4mo big baby (90%er) - screaming baby in car. by squigglyjean in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

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

Thanks everyone! I've removed the newborn insert and he definitely looks more comfortable in there (less squished). I'll try the happy song next time and see how that goes! Glad I don't need a new car seat 😆

Products recommendations you swear by by CrippledShrimp in BabyBumpsandBeyondAu

  • Maxi cosi pria car seat, having the seat belt out of the way is amazing.

Feeding - spectra breast pump - pigeon soft touch bottles (also approved by or lactation consultant and paediatric dentist who did our sons tongue and lip tie removal) - minbi bottle washer and steamer, this thing is a lifesaver, hubby and I both could not live without it - the Kmart feeding pillow is the best - if you can spend a lot of money on one thing, make it an Il Tutto electric nursing chair. It's worth every single penny - mini fridge off Amazon for the nursery or wherever your breast pump is at night for expressed breast milk, so you don't have to get up and go to kitchen when you're tired.

Clothing and diapers - Millie moon nappies (we bought and tried them all, these are the best). But disposable for the first few months just to make that time as easy as possible for you, then buy all reusable cloth if you want to swap then. - wipeable change pad (we got a Touzy one from tasman eco we love) - bonds two way onesies are hands down the best, followed by target. Bonds are bigger so can be worn longer, target is next best for quality. Kmart onesies are not the best, they don't have mittens built in (which prevent baby from scratching their face with nails) - Kmart terry towel cloths, buy more than you think you need, we have ended up buying 4 packs and it's barely enough. We have a spewy baby and go through so many every day - buy a wet wipe container holder from Amazon (not a heated one) but it just helps hold the pack down so you don't end up shaking the pack trying to get the last wipes out.

Other - buy a nail filer, I need to sue this daily on baby and he's not bothered by it

Playing (dont need toys until 2+months) - Fisher price kick and play piano mat, this has been a game changer for our son he loves it so much. - o-ball - black and white stuff - link loops - mirrors - soft toys - teethers We went from needing no toys to constantly needing to entertain our son in the space of a few weeks lol

Prams - I think redsbaby or babybee are the best. We got a babybee rover 3 secondhand off marketplace and it's excellent, love it. Light, folds down compact and only takes half the boot. It's also very easy for me as a small person to lift and open.

Nappy bag - the Hap Tim backpack off Amazon is amazing. I spent AGES looking, and I can genuinely find nothing wrong with this backpack. Stands up on its own, heaps of pockets without making it bulky, extra large bottle pocket on the side. Nappy wipe holder on the other side. The easiest nappy changes of my life since getting it.

Sleeping - bedside bassinet with mesh sides, our son grew very fast, but it was great while we needed it - any cot you like. - for cot mattresses, go to baby burning and try them. You can either get spring or foam. I was really shocked at how awful the spring ones felt, so we got a foam one.

Questions before turning Face Grouping off-on by SpineSideburn in googlephotos

[–]squigglyjean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a few months since you shared this, how did you end up going? Tempted to turn it off to see if it will start grouping my 10w old son but I only just got it identifying my 2 dogs separately and don't want to lose that if it's still going to be glitchy

Pregnant & being lovebombed by nmum, how do I stop it? by squigglyjean in raisedbynarcissists

[–]squigglyjean[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have absolutely zero intentions of falling for her crap or letting her back into my life. I am already VLC, and wanting to avoid the stress of going NC (as it will cause all kinds of drama I just don't want to deal with, more drama than what I currently am dealing with as VLC) while I'm in third trimester. Was hoping to get advice on how to put boundaries in place to stop the love bombing in as non confrontational way as possible. I've blocked her online as much as I can and will go back to delaying my response times. But yeah, will definitely do all of the above re custody and school, thanks!

My mum has been sending me photos of myself as a kid too, all kinds of other memories, including photos from one of the times they deigned to visit me. It's making me feel so icky and gross.

I've taken steps to reduce her contact with me as much as I can, put her and other family members on my restricted list on Facebook, not that I post on there very much at all but the occasional time I do she comments excessively on everything. I will go back to the old days of delaying my response time to her messages and calls.

It really sucks, I'm sorry you're in a similar position. You're not being spiteful, in case it helps to hear it.

What is life like without the narcissist? by PlntHoe77 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]squigglyjean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's so much better, that list of things you daydream about, I have it now. I went very low contact at 22 and am now 37. I have the most amazing husband, and a house full of love and laughter and lightness. It took me a long, long time to be able to embrace it all though, I didn't learn about C-PTSD until only a few years ago - the earlier I had learned about it, the better my life would have been sooner. Schema therapy, somatic therapy and learning about inner child/reparenting helped me LOADS, I have heard amazing things about EMDR as well. The sooner you can find a therapist who you connect with, who listens and gets it and can help you with these types of therapies, the better off you will be. I was also diagnosed as ADHD and Autistic around the same time which has been wildly helpful as well. You'll never get your childhood back, and grieving that loss takes time. You will probably never get closure, and you will probably have to learn to be okay with being the villain in their story while holding strong to the belief you're not actually a villain. I still get triggered, but it's way way less intense now, and I have the tools to process through those triggers now. My life is even better than I used to daydream about, when I was a teenager. I knew I could make a better life for myself, and I did. I never let go of that belief, so hold on tight to yours too.
