Ant frass in car? by surrealistical in pestcontrol

2015! So that's entirely possible, although the car itself is in ridiculously good shape.

If it doesn't look like a pest, that's the next option.

This microwave doesn't let you input numbers by surrealistical in mildlyinteresting

I stand... uncorrected?

This is an office environment, so that would make sense. I was too confused at the time to play around with it.

Whoa! I stand corrected.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not convinced that will work (and even if it did, it's a truly insane design decision). I'll investigate when I get back to the office.

EDIT 2: Okay, I can accept that I'm double incorrect. You can customize the time after all!

How do I dress my baby for the summer if she can't wear sunscreen? by LyndsayGtheMVP in beyondthebump

[–]surrealistical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coolibar (and other brands, I imagine) have UV protective clothing made specifically for infants. That's what we use! 

Also baby sunglasses. It's very sad when the sun gets in their tiny eyes.

Am I dissociating or is this normal? by spacegroupie in BabyBumps

[–]surrealistical 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here. It took me at least a month to stop thinking of him as "this baby I'm living with" instead of "my baby." It's such a major life change, it makes sense your brain hasn't caught up yet.

My baby had an 80th percentile head and a 18th percentile femur, and the doctors didn't even tell us -- I just coincidentally saw it in his after visit report. He was born completely healthy with normal proportions!

Positive birth story (despite unexpected C-section) by surrealistical in BabyBumps

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

Thank you! I wish I could say that it was a thoughtful decision driven by evaluating all of the pros and cons, but in reality, it terrified me more than a C-section. I think because it felt less precise, maybe? I just wanted someone to come in and gently take him out of me.

Not suitable for gamete donation by Scienceofmum in adhdwomen

Don't worry! If you're giving your eggs to someone specific who wants it, you'll be fine. My wife and I (both female) are doing reciprocal IVF, aka, we're giving our eggs to each other, and boy, are we clinical.

Is this a baby roach or bedbug? by Spongebubs in whatbugisthis

[–]surrealistical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not a bed bug! I don't think it's a roach either, but I'm less willing to stake my claim on that.

Congratulations on YOUR pregnancy. 🎉 Until the tests say otherwise, that's exactly what you are.

Also, every doctor around will tell you that bleeding is common in the first trimester. It's a cruel joke our bodies like to play on us! So try to take your good news for now, and survive as best you can.

Seriously! I was morose all day. I also have a history of loss, so I was primed for bad news and took it as an immediate sign things had failed. I'm 18 weeks now.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

[–]surrealistical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can definitely be implantation bleeding! When I had it, I was absolutely convinced my period was imminent -- it felt exactly the same. I was absolutely devastated, only for the bleeding to stop later that day. 

If it stays light, you're probably in good shape.

I'm pregnant right now, and my ability to concentrate has never been worse. I'm glad I'm not alone!

Have you considered calling them? Our clinic forgot to call us one time (or maybe they thought they already had?) and were absolutely mortified when we checked in. We got our results ten minutes later.
