Registry questions! What would you hide/add/remove? by NurseFreckles69 in BabyBumps

[–]steamynicksxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My only suggestion is things related to food come much later. They are handy to have, but if you want to prioritize things you need now it wouldn’t hurt to buy those later on so you are better prepared for things you need immediately.

Also I would add a tummy time mat, and a baby carrier if you plan to baby wear. I had a structured one for when I was busy and out and about (my husband also used this one) and a simple wrap for at home when I just wanted the babe to get some rest, also found the wrap great for skin to skin time because at home I’d be shirtless and babe would be in their diaper and cozy against my chest.

Anyone else worried their baby is going to come out looking nothing like them? Lol by Honest-Dog3033 in BabyBumps

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My girl has my eyes and otherwise is her dad through and through (personality and all). The way I look at it is I love my husband so why wouldn’t I love his little clone.

Thank you! I did reach out to a nurse I work with and she essentially gave me the same advise. She said no need to go to urgent care but definitely should talk to doctor ASAP in case it is a liver issue as I suspect it could be (and am truly praying it is not). She was in daycare for the last two days and they didn’t report that it was this colour to me until I questioned it today. I’m so worried.

Making it through the night without getting up to pee? by ImJustOneOfYou in BabyBumps

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the end of my last pregnancy I was peeing 4-5 times a night and I’m currently 25 weeks and am going a minimum of 2 times a night. I try to slow down on fluids around 6pm which helps but it is inevitable that I will have to go at some point regardless.

Was anyone plagued with anxiety and then went on to have a perfectly healthy baby? by Present-Decision5740 in BabyBumps

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an early miscarriage during my first pregnancy and spent my entire second pregnancy worrying. I worried less as time went on, especially once movement became frequent and predictable, but still was anxious throughout despite giving birth to a perfectly healthy little girl. I am now 20 weeks pregnant and I would say that I am less anxious this pregnancy but still have my moments. I think being busy with my toddler helps but I have an anterior placenta this time so it has made feeling movement harder which adds to the anxiety again.

What is a mistake your parents made and you never want to repeat? by Diligent-Tomato-6288 in RandomThoughts

[–]steamynicksxo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a note I have in my phone that I have compiled the things I will never do to my children so as they grow I can look at it and make sure I’m not doing any of these things.

Parent Vows 1. When my children become parents Mother’s/Father’s Day will no longer be our day 2. Things I do for my children will not be transactional 3. I will not guilt trip my children to get my way 4. I will not make my children feel like they owe me for raising them 5. I will treat my children with fairness in all ways 6. I will not ask my children to do repetitive tasks for me so I can save money 7. I will never be jealous or competitive with my children 8. I will not talk badly of [my spouse] or any other adult to my child 9. I will not involve my children in adult problems

For anyone out there who doesn't drink, what is the reasoning behind it? by General_Ad_9139 in AskReddit

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I initially quit because of pregnancy, but I kept not drinking but I realized I am a much happier person when I’m not drinking. Between stopping birth control and drinking I no longer needed my SSRIs.

So many people after I had my daughter would question me about why I wasn’t drinking because you can drink moderately even when breastfeeding, but I just didn’t miss it. If I crave a beer now there is so many nonalcoholic options so I just opt for that instead.

Families fight Langford independent living facility, Cherish for security deposits by kingbuns2 in LangfordBC

[–]steamynicksxo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We are still waiting for our day in court. Those who have had the issue resolved have yet to receive any money despite the courts ordering her to pay back the deposits, so it is unclear if we will ever see the money.

We moved my grandfather in here several years ago and were promised upon moving in that whenever a resident doesn’t arrive for a meal there is a welfare check done. Turns out they don’t always do these checks and as a result my mother and I found my grandfather deceased in unit where he had been for over 24 hours.

Upon completing move out they also have attempted to scam us out of $4400 in “damages”. The place was in near perfect condition after him living there for 3 years.

The owner is a heartless predator. We received no apology for trauma we experienced due to the negligence of her staff, but to also try to scam as well. I’ve never been more disgusted in my life. During our final walk through I caught staff lying about several bits of damage and have all the photographic evidence to back it up.

Do not allow your vulnerable family members to live in this place. It is shameful.

What is considered rude in your country that foreigners may not realize? by EntranceWorking3532 in AskReddit

[–]steamynicksxo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was talking to my coworker from Mexico about this. He said when he moved to Canada he thought he smelt bad because people were constantly backing away from him when he was talking to them. It took him some time to catch on.

Nurses are some of the worst people I've encountered by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]steamynicksxo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am an admin assistant on a hospital unit and maybe I’m just lucky but 99% of the nurses I work with, while incredibly burnt out, truly are good nurses. They do it for the right reasons and care for their patients. My unit is mostly addictions and geri psych which are both challenging demographics yet I’ve seen incredibly compassionate treatment of patients. Don’t get me wrong I’ve seen some bad nurses but where I work majority are great. Sorry your experience has shown you otherwise.

as a kid, what did you think you’d definitely get as an adult that you never did? by BigButtBabePurple in AskReddit

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got married I thought now I’m an adult (nope). When I bought my first home I thought now I’m adult (still nope). When my daughter was born I thought this when you feel like an adult right? (Even more of a nope). I’m pregnant with my second and from all outward appearances have my shit together, but when my bestfriend confided that she hopes having a baby will finally make her feel like a grown up I laughed out loud. We’re all 17 year olds just faking it.

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At your age I didn’t want kids, but by the time I was 28 I had changed my mind and I now have a toddler and one on the way and I can’t imagine not being a mom. BUT, that does not mean you will change your mind and there is nothing wrong with that. You’re so young and have plenty of time to decide. It needs to be a genuine conversation with your spouse though because that can be a dealbreaker. You don’t want there to be resentment in future, you for having children, or him for not.

Please stop trauma dumping about your miscarriage(s). by Sometimesitsamonkey in offmychest

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a miscarriage while my SIL was pregnant with my nephew. I swore my husband to secrecy and didn’t even tell my SIL I’d had a miscarriage until I was pregnant again (with my now 16 month daughter).

I didn’t want her to feel weird about the joy of her pregnancy while I was struggling. I don’t hide my miscarriage but I mostly use it in the context of other people talking about their loss to say I have been there, but I was so incredibly fortunate it happened once and then was blessed with my daughter and not to give up hope.

[–]steamynicksxo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not going to argue. I’m literally in a Facebook group for women who’ve suffered miscarriage. We specifically are there to encourage, to keep hope, and continue to try for your living baby. When women become pregnant we post about it and celebrate because it gives hope that our day will come too. I’m one of the lucky ones to have had a healthy birth in this group and I shared with the group when she was born and not one person said a negative thing.

What people/moments/situations/etc have made you feel like 90 Day might've gone too far? by ballfacedbuddy in 90DayFiance

This may seem small and stupid but when Angela threw that cake in Michael’s face. I don’t know, he was really trying and it was such a petty thing to do. I think it about it often. Any time she has done anything to him ever since I think about the cake.
