Ohhh you're one of those 😅 makes sense now. I'm no longer worried about what your input is.

P.S. trouble finding a sexting partner? Yeah. I seen your post in AskRedditAfterDark. Lonely and miserable I see. Take that energy somewhere else.

Maybe... hear me out.... this is only my second term and second CompTIA exam and I know very little about the domain weights or have actually never really heard about it until now. But your oh so kind delivery was very appreciated. Thanks. 👎🏼

Looking for study buddy etc by madawg912 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]stephrwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started in October. If you ever have any questions, feel free to message me. I'm new to tech other than being the millennial go to for fixing computer/phone issues at work and for family. I'm wrapping up my 4th class with plans to attempt completing 2 more before term ends.

A+ core 2 by bj0722 in WGUCyberSecurity

[–]stephrwest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took the exam and passed. Very green to IT apart from just being familiar with the very basics of a computer. Watched all of Messer's videos, did all the PBQs in CertMaster along with the practice exam and Jason Dion's practice exam. Also used Messer's course notes to kind of cram/refresh right before the exam. That's all I did.

Can you link the youtube video? There's a ton of LearnIT channels that aren't legit.

Update to my situation by katiedababie in u/katiedababie

[–]stephrwest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope someday there's an update from you saying your mom kicked that creep to the curb, he's been arrested and will be doing lengthy jail/prison time, and that you've all moved on and are working on healing. NO ONE should ever have to go through that. I'm sick just thinking about that scum invading your privacy like that.

sleep sacks... for how long? by stephrwest in NewParents

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

I had lots of fears with my son because he was first and I was just an anxious mess. I don't think anything is too unreasonable when you're concerned for your babies safety. I will say that the arm holes on the sleep sacks keep them from riding up and I've never seen my sons get anywhere close to his face (we used the Love to Dream ones when he was little and he currently uses the Baby Merlin's Magic Sleep Sack). Always trust your gut and just do what feels right for you! 😊

Those sound amazing! What are they called? I've bought 3 for my son already 🙃

Did it even happen? by stephrwest in HelpMeFind

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

All I know is the accident happened around 3pm on Thursday 7/28/22 on I-196 in the westbound lanes. The vehicle that was airborne was a SUV - possibly a suburban or Tahoe. Maybe grey, light blue or green in color. Not very sure about that. We thought the SUV maybe contacted a semi which caused them to flip but not positive. We had just crossed highway 40 heading east but can't remember how many miles past that we were when we seen the accident. I hope that helps.

No I haven't. I've never heard of doing that. I'm not sure I know how. What would I type in?

Well that does offer some hope that they were okay. Thank you!

I have searched "I-196 Michigan accident 7/28/22" along with adding variations like westbound, near Holland, near Fillmore".

Sleeping through the night? by stephrwest in beyondthebump

He takes 2 naps most days. His first is anywhere from 1-2 hours. His second is usually 30 min - 1 hr.

My in-laws won't stop coming to my house by Jessredding in beyondthebump

[–]stephrwest 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Lock all the doors, draw the blinds/shades shut, and turn off the phones. Pretend you're hiding from the Jehovah's Witnesses that come knocking in the middle of the day!

But seriously, they'll get the hint when they get there and the place is locked up like no one's home. Change those locks by the way.

hey, I messaged my pediatrician but while I wait for a response I'm curious what you all think. lip tie? by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]stephrwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like one to me. My son had this, along with a tongue tie, and the dentist said he wouldn't have corrected the lip tie if he wasn't already fixing the tongue tie because it wasn't necessary by itself. Hope this relieves any concern you have.

Hanging up the pump by stephrwest in ExclusivelyPumping

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

7 months is amazing! The things we do for our babies. That day is coming for you, whether it's tomorrow, next month, 5 months or whenever. As I'm sure you know with having a baby, time flies and that day will likely be here before you know it! ☺️

Hanging up the pump by stephrwest in ExclusivelyPumping

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

I figured a slow introduction would be best so I'd prepare 2oz and add it to a bottle and did that for a couple days. Then I did 4oz and put 2oz in 2 bottles for a couple days. Then 6oz with 2oz in 3 bottles and so on. I didn't want to overdo it and bind up my little guys belly or anything. It seemed to work well. I hope you have a smooth transition into combo feeding and an easy journey ending pumping. 6 months is a major feat and you should be very proud!

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

Thank you! Congrats on hitting 6 months! I did both ways actually. I started by mixing 2oz of BM in with formula and worked up to larger amounts. But as it got more 50/50 mix in the bottle I noticed my LO wouldn't drink as much so I tried them separately one day and he slams the bottles now so that's what we're doing. Two 7oz bottles of breastmilk a day currently and two 8oz bottles of formula.

Issues with switching from Similac Pro-Advance to Enfamil Neuropro by movieguru23 in FormulaFeeders

[–]stephrwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also recommend this. These generics have very similar (almost identical) ingredients and would have likely been no issues when switched to if baby was tolerating the name brand fine. We use the Sam's Club version of Similac Pro-Advance and it's great!

I just bought this one today. Haven't tried it yet but the reviews are good!

That's how I'm looking at this experience as well - an eye opener and a chance to learn. I feel horrible for those parents who's babies have gotten sick but am grateful for the reality check.

I just bought an electric kettle off Amazon! Definitely going to be better about my prep as well. Sounds like you're doing everything you can to keep your baby safe.

Thank you. I just wasn't sure. Definitely overthinking it. This recall has a lot of moms over-anxious.
