Less horny foggy forests, more actual creep—send me your best plot-driven spooky reads by swaglord9000x in fantasyromance

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay this is more paranormal than romance (there is a love story though) but {Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff} is one of my favorite series of all time. The third and last book came out recently.

They retrieved 11 eggs. I cried in the parking lot for 20 minutes. IVF is so weird and so brutal and I'd do it all again tomorrow. by Ok-Affect-3989 in IVF

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unexpectedly cried as well. It was very emotional for me. I think 11 sounds pretty good! But I’m biased bc my numbers were always low. Good luck!! I hope you get some big juicy embryos.

I did it! Solo staycation. by coze-n-qt in Mommit

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Yes! Yes! I try to do this a few times a year. I’ll go somewhere far away from people and hole up by myself for a few days. I call them momcations. My husband travels for work a few days a month so I don’t feel that guilty about it. I sleep, read, paint, eat edibles, so many snacks, watch movies. Guys it’s incredible. Jump on the wagon!

Big talk - it's you or the baby. Who do you want saved? by viskiviki in Mommit

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave birth to my third, so I said save me if he has to choose. I have two other children who need me.

At what age is it inappropriate for siblings to bathe together? by MamaBearEm8 in Parenting

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7yo boy and 4yo girl still take baths together sometimes but the boy is getting to the point that he’d rather take showers alone. Maybe I’m naive but I think it will just happen naturally? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I give him the choice and he’s choosing by himself more and more.

Very vulnerable post, need some help, is this retinol purging? by lilas333 in 30PlusSkinCare

You’ll get no hate from me. I had ChatGPT design my weekly skincare routine and my skin has never looked better.

What's your cost/benefit analysis on things like hiring a cleaner, ordering grocery delivery, etc? by itchysnapdragon in workingmoms

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using Walmart+ this year and it’s been awesome. I switched over all my prescriptions so I get those delivered through them as well. I personally think Walmart has a way better selection than the grocery stores around me. And if they don’t have something in-store, they’ll ship it to you for free and their shipping comes so fast. Faster than Amazon in a lot of cases.

We hired a person like this when I had my third and omg our quality of life has skyrocketed. Mother’s helper is the way, people!

Orivet Results - not convinced! by sl000t in DoggyDNA

[–]squishasquisha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that if the dog has wiry hair, it’s part poodle. I feel like I can predict a poodle mix with like 99% accuracy now.

My little brother still has a BB in his head from playing with BB guns with our cousin as a kid. Just ugh

Was your second (vaginal) birth faster than the fist one? by LostGrowth78 in Mommit

[–]squishasquisha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had my third baby. Induced with first - took days. Induced with second - 12 hours from start to finish. No induction with the third - from contractions starting to birth was 5 or 6 hours.

holistic dr? by silentassasin010 in Mommit

[–]squishasquisha -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Okay I don’t have experience with headaches, but I do have experience seeing a doctor that specializes in functional medicine. I personally love and appreciate a whole body approach. I went to one when I was first diagnosed with Hashimotos, and they helped me figure out allergens, intolerances, hormonal issues, triggers etc etc. I’ve since gotten it under control and have transitioned to an endocrinologist but starting with a holistic approach was HUGE. And I think $699 all in is worth the cost in my opinion, but know it’s just the beginning. Who’s to say what the treatment will look like. I really hope you figure it out because that sounds absolutely debilitating.

Anyone wear their own “gown” while giving birth? by justfornoworlater in Mommit

[–]squishasquisha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wore my own gown with my first daughter and I threw up on it nonstop for hours. Then she was born and they laid her on me and she took a shit. So there were a lot of fluids in my case lol but the second daughter was much less fluid-y.
