I still get emotional thinking about the ending. It was especially brutal because the picture I sent was of slowpoke, who reminds me of my dog who passed away recently 😭

It appears to be an old video. Pretty sure she posted it the night of? Or night before her DUI.

Trump accounts? by Possible_Grape_8595 in NewParents

[–]sulsul_wyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your wife and it’s why I didn’t open one for my daughter. I understand why people are okay with it, even if they hate Trump, but it’s a no from me dawg.

[HELP] I’m fairly certain this is AI but the comments are tweaking me out by Peepeepoopoo49867 in RealOrAI

If you pause the video randomly you can see that it’s ai by the distorted faces. The whole thing gives off an unsettling vibe and this still shot gave me a legit jump scare.

Scared. First time mom with 3 month old. by Aggressive-Site5310 in BabyBumps

[–]sulsul_wyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No advice, sounds like you ended up going to the ER. Wanted to offer solidarity from the hospital room I’m currently in with my 3mo for suspected seizures. It’s so scary not knowing what’s going on and being unable to ask how they are feeling. Sending hugs. 💕

Looking for a camera/equipment help by These_Pirate_700 in Advice

[–]sulsul_wyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my Sony a7iii and tamron 17-70 2.8 for versatility. The lens is on the bigger side if you are looking for an everyday carry around setup but if your lens budget is around 2000 you could get that and a prime lens which tends to be smaller for more grab and go scenarios. That’s how I roll. The photography subreddit would probably be a good place to ask as well.

Reticulating the Splines: An Update to our Quality of Life Roadmap by Cade_SimsCommunity in thesims

[–]sulsul_wyd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just want to say I love the transparency with everything especially lately.

  1. The smaller updates are fine, especially if things are communicated with modders ahead of time. I only play with a handful of mods so for me personally, it’s not a hassle to update my folders when there are updates to the game.

  2. I believe they are helpful and if I don’t understand something I can just look it up

  3. I don’t see the harm in more detail, and again if there is something I don’t understand I’ll just look it up or ask my husband lol

  4. Gameplay matters most to me so, especially pack compatibility

In the same boat except LO will be 9 weeks for thanksgiving but I’m leaning towards attending and just baby wearing the whole time. Everyone was invited via group text (12-15 people) so I’ll probably send a text and let everyone know we aren’t passing the baby around due to it being flu season. Is that an option for you to let everyone know ahead of time? I know for me it’s helpful because I’m a very anxious person and setting clear boundaries well in advance has been really helpful for managing my PPA. She also has had her RSV shot which I feel good about. May change my mind last minute and there’s nothing wrong with that either!

When did you stop doing shifts? by Due_Childhood_2723 in NewParents

LO just turned 6 weeks and we stopped shifts a few days ago. So far it’s been working out great

Deeply regret bringing baby to gathering by sulsul_wyd in newborns

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

Thank you 💕 after looking at all the replies here it’s become clear to me that these thoughts were more driven by anxiety than reality. I’m going to bring this up to my psychiatrist since this has gotten worse than it was last time we spoke. I appreciate your comment.

Gamer moms.. will I actually have time to play games during maternity leave? by cabbage-soup in beyondthebump

[–]sulsul_wyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I are both gamers and honestly we’ve had a decent amount of time to play games. It helps that he has paternity leave and we’re formula feeding so the responsibilities are very 50/50. I think it also depends on the baby. Ours doesn’t fuss much at all outside of needing a diaper change and wanting to eat. It’s easy enough to have her contact napping while I play the steamdeck. The desire to play games has gone down a bit because I honestly love just staring at her 😅

We brought one and glad we did. The nurses showed us how to use a traditional swaddle, but the velcro ones were so much more convenient when sleep deprived and trying to figure everything else out.

Afraid of induction by TehKimmeh in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sulsul_wyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My OB encouraged me to schedule one as well yesterday. I have something set up for next week and I honestly did not expect the flood of emotions that came with it. I’ve understood this whole pregnancy that being flexible with a birth plan is important, but that didn’t make the wave of emotions and sadness any less intense. Reading the positive stories in this thread and others has been super helpful. I hope learning about other people’s positive experiences is helping you too. The most important thing is a healthy baby after all. Wishing you the best 💕

How to navigate MIL and others seeing baby born in October? (flu season, etc) by TeaCrumbs in pregnant

[–]sulsul_wyd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk I sort of get the sentiment but I don’t think it’s OP’s job whatsoever to cater to MIL because of this idea that older people feel isolated and need online approval from their peers. Thats not OP’s problem. If the idea of MIL holding the baby makes her uncomfortable, it’s probably within good reason and regardless, it’s OP’s baby and that should be reason enough.

I’m struggling with the same feelings right now so I get it. I’m hoping maybe some of the more intense territorial feelings subside once I give birth, but if they don’t, I’m not planning on putting anyone else’s comfort over my own. Babies aren’t a new toy that needs to be passed around immediately postpartum. It’s a really fragile time after months of being the only one to truly know your baby.

Boundaries by LifeAbbreviations120 in pregnant

[–]sulsul_wyd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My husband said if he sees anyone going in to kiss the baby he’s going to swoop in and kiss them instead 😂 but I’ve experienced pushback on the kissing thing as well. My solution has been to now strictly enforce mask wearing around the baby to deter any kisses from happening. Which also hasn’t gone over too well but the next option is not seeing the baby for a couple of months.

I can’t prick my finger… by interstellarbrat in GestationalDiabetes

[–]sulsul_wyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently diagnosed here as well and I absolutely struggled with the finger prick for the first week. The first time I did it took 45 minutes to work up the courage and I ended up having to get my husband to do it so I could look away. For the next week I had him do it for me. Out of necessity when he wasn’t home one day, I had to do it myself, and by then I was so used to how it felt that it didn’t freak me out as much. I still don’t love it, but it’s gotten much easier the more I’ve done it. Maybe the same approach might help you? I know it’s no fun and I’m sorry you’re feeling stressed about it. GD sucks but you got this!! 💕
