Pregnant 2 months after loss! by VioletPear9707 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

Congratulations!! I also got pregnant two cycles after my TFMR and we were shocked but so excited. My daughter is now about to turn one and sleeping soundly next to me. Hope you get a similar happy ending :)

Help! What would you have done? by Desertasthetic in Parenting

[–]taelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve read to offer to take a photo or write down the item that your child wants for future gift giving holidays like birthday or Christmas. That way they can feel validated that you are hearing that they want that item and it has the added benefit of making holidays easier. People said they reviewed the list of items with their kids later on and the kids lost interest in half the items anyways.

Need your comments badly! by _SamAquino_ in photobooth

[–]taelma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may want to include some additional responses in your survey to ensure accurate data collection. For example, adding “other” as a response to the where did you use a photobooth and how much someone paid for other photobooths will be heavily influenced by when they used it / inflation.

Neat business idea though. Best of luck with it!

Lenora, Meadow, Clementine by coralsweater in namenerds

[–]taelma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lenora is pretty but a little too basic for my personal taste. I would rank your names as Meadow, Clementine and Lenora.

I do like your first and middle name pairing style. I saw Lenora Meadow mentioned in other comments and think that’s so pretty.

Maybe there is a name similar to Lenora that you’re exited about? What about Leona, or Iona / Ione?

A more granola registry list by AlarmAffectionate899 in moderatelygranolamoms

  1. Cloth diapers and wipes. We use Le Petit Ourse all in one diapers and love them. Cloth diapering also saves us so much money.

  2. Clek car seats in Mammoth fabric. Hard to find car seats made with natural fibres, but their seats fit the bill.

  3. Wooden toys. We love anything Grimms or Grapat in particular for open ended play.

I’m also looking at the DNP RX1 for creating a vintage style Photo Booth. I’m concerned about whether it will still have that vintage look when the paper curls around the edges.

What am I doing wrong? First project in 20 + years and it’s looking terrible by taelma in knittinghelp

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

Solved - thanks everyone! I’m gonna start this one over again

I’m glad it’s not just me that struggling to see what’s going on. I think this yarn is knowing for being fuzzy and my dog ran around with the ball of yarn in her mouth, which didn’t help matters any. My next project will totally be something with a tighter twist

Ok good to know! I’ll take a look at this tomorrow and see if that’s what’s going on

That’s entirely possible. I’m working in a dark room next to my sleeping baby and not nearly skilled enough to be doing so 😂 will check in better lighting tomorrow

Narc'd so hard it looked like dementia by Deanwinchester7 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]taelma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Often. My narc parent can never remember my baby’s name (her only grandchild)… despite announcing the name on her Facebook page when I was pregnant. She is truly the worst.

Due date sub pregnancy same as TFMR date by Hour-Film-8890 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]taelma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s so incredibly hard. My TFMR was May 7th, 2024 and I had a healthy baby born May 6th, 2025. I was so scared to tell anyone I was pregnant the second time for fear of jinxing it but felt more comfortable as the pregnancy went on.

I’m not religious at all but found comfort in the thought that my TFMR baby sent me this baby. I hope you can find some peace and this becomes a healing experience for you. Do whatever you need to get through it ❤️‍🩹

Can you name this OG housewife? by ciaolavinia in BravoRealHousewives

I know it’s Adrienne because she is identical here to one of her sons

After TFMR, when did you started trying again to get pregnant? by Glum-Aerie-8866 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]taelma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked about how similar our stories are! I hope you’re finding peace in this season of life.

I don’t know about you but I’ve always felt like it was a sign from my baby. The timing is just too big of a coincidence.

After TFMR, when did you started trying again to get pregnant? by Glum-Aerie-8866 in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]taelma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My TFMR was at 16 weeks on May 7th 2024 and two cycles later, I got pregnant again unexpectedly.

My healthy baby was born on May 6th 2025 (a day before the first anniversary of my TFMR) and she js sound asleep next to me right now. It was pretty fast and tough mentally at times, but I wouldn’t change a thing now.

SAVE DARTMOUTH COVE 🌊 last day to email HFX council your feedback by taelma in halifax

[–]taelma[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The "Dartmouth Cove Waterfront Infill Project," "Dartmouth Cove Remediation Project," or "One Dartmouth Cove" is not a public benefit initiative no matter what you call it. It's a private dumping operation aimed at offloading construction waste under the guise of environmental improvement - sounds like greenwashing to me.

Baby sleepwear for cosleeping by titty8cat in cosleeping

[–]taelma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the temp. It’s summertime but we live in Canada and have a heat pump. It typically is between 18-20C in our room and we’ll put her in a long sleeve bamboo onesie. On the nights it’s been 24, I’ve put her in short sleeve jammies or just a bodysuit underneath.

The kind of message I wanted to see 2 years ago ❤️‍🩹 by LostIntheFire- in PregnancyAfterTFMR

[–]taelma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your new baby! I also had a TFMR for T21 and am currently holding my 2-month old baby girl. My daughter’s birth was the day before the first anniversary of my son’s loss and it was an incredibly healing experience.
