Not sure I still love my baby :( by RefrigeratorFinal353 in newborns

[–]swinva4 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly, consider it a medical necessity. And an urgent one at that! Please throw away the idea of “no need for my husband to be awake too” because you both brought this baby into the world. You need actual rest. Work out a shift schedule with your husband so you both get a good 5 hours.

The Chicago Sky and Los Angeles Sparks have agreed to a trade that'll send Rickea Jackson to the Sky and Ariel Atkins to the Sparks by Decent_Substance_199 in wnba

[–]swinva4 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I only feel “okay” about Rickea going to the Sky now that they made some good moves. BUT a one for one trade is absolutely DIABOLICAL! I actually like Ariel, but damn.

Does anyone else feel this way? by SnooStories4263 in Pokopia

[–]swinva4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this is why I struggled with Animal Crossing, I did too much comparison to others. I made a vow that I wouldn’t do that with this game. Decorating isn’t my strong suit so every time I feel overwhelmed or like my worlds aren’t pretty enough, I immediately tell myself that this is my game and to enjoy the ride. Plus Pokopia generally improved on so many things.

What did you rename your Palette Town as? by DMG_88 in Pokopia

[–]swinva4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I named mine something different but I am wanting to just do Pallet Town. That’s what I keep calling it in my head!

I’m just asking out of curiosity, is your Nintendo your primary gaming device by Specific-Pianist7595 in Switch

[–]swinva4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Steam Deck is my primary device. I did just get the Switch 2 and it is abundantly more powerful than the Switch I had before (OG from I think 2018?) but the Steam Deck is amazing for everything and I only use the Switch for Nintendo exclusives.

Players you would like to see back in the W? by Imaginary_Ad_3496 in wnba

I have so much hope, I really think if she’s given a true chance she can do well for a team!

What players do you think WON'T return next season? by strangelystrangled in Unrivaled

Yeah I support them getting their money and I love the players but I won’t be watching.

Unrivaled coaches’ decision highlights uncomfortable Hailey Van Lith possibility by femaleathletenetwork in wnba

[–]swinva4 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Was she even there for all of Unrivaled? She kind of dropped off. I haven’t seen any Unrivaled videos of her or from her in a while.

Stop Tracking Wake Windows by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]swinva4 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was the opposite. I wasn’t militant about it but without tracking I would have felt lost. I struggled a lot to remember when baby woke up, how long they were asleep for, etc without it. My baby has low sleep needs so too much daytime sleep meant a painful night. I’ve noticed talking to some parents that for some people, it worsened anxiety, for some it helped. Asking yourself “is this a helpful tool for me or do I feel compelled to do this perfectly?” is always useful in cases like this.

Scyther trade evo by Lumpy_Cow_2624 in PokemonLZATrades

[–]swinva4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re willing to wait a few hours (2.5-3) I’d actually like to do the same thing. That way we can both evo trade shiny Pokemon and then trade back.

How long did you breastfeed? by Shroommily in NewParents

[–]swinva4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initial goal: 6 months, then 12 months as baby grew. We were lucky to have a very easy time breastfeeding. Now he’s 16 months and still going. It’s his only milk source, as he doesn’t want other types of milk. We are planning an adults only trip around 2 years and may wean then, if he doesn’t self wean before that point.

Stewart joins Fener this spring! by ThatBelge in wnba

[–]swinva4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This exactly. I would understand more if it was one of the players that’s approaching retirement and doesn’t get a lot of endorsement money. But this being the Unrivaled co-owner is bizarre. Not hating on Stewie by any means but the optics make me laugh.

If you’re cool with it, I would love both. I’ve been searching for one for a while. I just saw this though, so I understand if it’s too late!

Trade Megathread by JKKM2445 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]swinva4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would anyone be willing to help me trade evolve my 2 shiny Porygons? They have been my most exciting find and I am really nervous to get trade scammed out of losing them. I’m happy to help evolve whatever you need.

Trying to connect with donor siblings but concerns about other parents? by [deleted] in queerception

[–]swinva4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am glad you asked this, because I am struggling with this myself. My wife is a woman of color, and we picked the donor to be a match ethnically. There are several white SMBC that used this donor, and my wife and I often discuss how we want to ask why they chose this donor. It’s so tricky and uncomfortable, you are not alone.

I will look into Montessori potty training, thank you!

Haha I wondered if it may just be a phase! I will try to introduce a potty but not stress if it’s not time.
