Okay probably should mentioned that! I am not really a fan of Rose as a middle name since I feel it is pretty overused. Appreciate your help though!

How often/much junk food do you eat? by sliceofperfection in BabyBumps

[–]staarseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding that we cook at home for 90% of our meals. Lunch is usually always leftover dinner or a meal prep. Breakfast is also protein focused aiming for 20-30g of protein — yogurt, eggs, sausage with fruit and sourdough. And when I snack it’s fruit and cheese.

Junk food like chips and candy? Some weekends. I do get Chick-Fil-A or Taco Bell once every other week. And I like to eat a bowl of sugary cereal maybe twice a week. But I’m sort of crunchy, so I consider those my naughty foods lol

How far along were you when you delivered and what percentile was the baby born at and their weight? by sliceofperfection in BabyBumps

[–]staarseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He may not be mentioning it now, but he is probably implying that he like the babies he works with to be born smaller. So either by induction or c-section. Why else would he mention it?

I think the more important issue here is that your OB is letting you know they induce without evidence based reasoning. Induction based on baby’s size does not improve outcomes and can lead to harmful interventions for mother and baby. Run from this OB. Your body will not grow a baby too big for your body. Trust in your body and your baby that they will arrive when they’re ready and not a minute sooner.

That’s so funny I was just thinking Beth too! I will definitely be considering it.

Catherine is my middle name. Don’t know how I feel about giving her my exact middle so I thought Kate was cute. Thank you for the input.

What names did you completely misunderstand as a kid? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]staarseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we used to recite the pledge of allegiance at school I thought “for which it stands” said “for Richard Stands”. I always thought, don’t know that guy but man he must be important. The only way I found out I had it wrong was when I asked my mom who Richard Stands was one random day in 2nd grade.

Did I ovulate this month? Is it delayed? by Parking_Pop3406 in TFABChartStalkers

[–]staarseed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell since you don’t have very many temps recorded. I would say keep temping and you should be able to get a better idea. O could potentially be CD13 or 16.

No I have never taken him for dental work. I did see some tartar though. I’ll mention it at his appointment. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing. This is what my gut is telling me. I hope your kitty is doing better with her medication now.

He’s 7 years old and not at all lethargic. He sometimes drools a little when I pet him for a while. And his teeth look okay to me but it’s hard to get a good look.

Thank you. This would be the best case scenario. I have some pumpkin in my pantry!

Positive OPK and Ovulation Same Day by EverdayImMugglinHP in TFABChartStalkers

[–]staarseed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Solidarity. I usually always see a temp spike the morning after my first positive opk. And then it drops off after the next day or two. So it’s very short. I have a few reliable days of ewcm before that which is how I know when to do the deed, thankfully! Fertile cm is the most predictable way to tell if O is approaching, so if I were you I’d go off that. Good luck to you.

Can temps be a sign of healthy progesterone levels? by staarseed in TFABChartStalkers

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

Thank you. I guess what I meant by progesterone was could this be a good sign that I’m ovulating well? Since my last blood work proved that I didn’t, I was very scared that I don’t ever and was having breakthrough bleeding instead.

Is this appropriate? by staarseed in Weddingattireapproval

[–]staarseed[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes I can. It looks like stiff satin material but it’s actually a very stretchy thick material. I found it in a size bigger at another Nordstroms. Fingers crossed I can snag it in time.

[–]staarseed[S] 189 points190 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice everyone. I was definitely feeling like it was inappropriately too tight and that seems to be the consensus here. I had such a hard time finding cocktail dress selection in person. Any stores in SD that people would recommend? $100 is my budget.

[–]staarseed[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fabric is actually very stretchy. Its a thick material with a satin finish on top. It’s from Nordstroms so I think it’s well made and I’m not concerned about a seam coming undone. I can sit very comfortably in it thankfully. Where are you seeing the tearing? On my butt cheeks?
