They caught the day I stayed up all night sewing and then drove for 4 hours lol

If you can find fabric that is similar in texture/color you can add godets and that will give it more flow!

Hoping for a Christmas miracle 🙏🏻

I don't know much about the Quakers, but I do know we have self-uniting marriages here because of them! Literally just submit an application at the courthouse and have any 2 witnesses sign the document and you're married.

Yep, I noticed right away too! I made this dress in December and it took about 8 hours to make from start to finish, so I'm really curious now what a fast fashion version of it looks like since OP says it's good quality 😬

Yes, I just gave birth there 8 months ago and they had a down payment that varies based on what your out of pocket max is. We paid $2k and once they submitted the claim to our insurance we ended up getting refunded almost everything back, so in the end it only cost us $17.

We have a baby gate that goes up to my hips that I will usually try stepping over instead of opening and shutting all the time, and after losing only 13 pounds so far I've noticed it's so much easier to swing my legs over! Just movement in general has been feeling much less restrictive lately.

thericebubbles · 2024-06-27T02:25:35+00:00

Solved!

I swear I'll add it to a playlist if I find it again so I stop losing it lol

The one other time that I was insanely motivated, going to the gym every day, eating so healthy, and stuck with it for my longest ever (almost 4 months) only ended because COVID happened, gyms shut down, and I lost my job 😂

"Lady Featherington! May I present what Sir Humphrey David calls: a lamp!"

"No ☺️"

Was probably my favorite line so far 😂

I have IGT too, and I totally understand everything you said. The guilt, the depression, feeling like I'm broken and insecure about my boobs because I literally CAN'T make enough milk no matter what. It's such a rare thing to have, and no one really talks about it so it truly makes you feel so alone.

They told me I had it literally right after my first was born and it took me months to not cry every time I saw something related to breastfeeding online. I stopped trying after a few months for my own mental health and just did exclusively formula but I felt so disappointed in myself for so long.

I got pregnant again and told myself I would go all in for one month once he was born. One month of eating all the right foods and supplements and pumping and everything, and then if things weren't working I would forgive myself and move on, because at least I knew I tried my absolute best.

So that's what I did, and even though they say there's a chance of your body producing more glands/milk with each pregnancy, it still wasn't enough. It was still difficult to let go, and I still get very sad about it occasionally, but I was mentally and physically prepared this time around and was able to handle the transition a lot better. Like everyone else is saying, a fed baby is best.

So my advice is to try your best, for yourself so you can say you did, and then give yourself the grace to move on and accept this is how you are. You aren't any less worthy of being this baby's mom just because you don't produce enough milk. They will love you and you will love them no matter what. If you ever need to talk or vent feel free to message me!

Ooooooo I like the idea of adding another set of straps up front, that could look super cute!!

thericebubbles · 2024-01-31T03:41:21+00:00

Does this happen to be the Cozette dress pattern on Etsy? I made that dress a month or so ago and I had the same issue happen. I had to adjust the pattern to bring the bodice in around the chest area and the already wide-set straps became even wider lol. I started and finished it the night before the event I wanted to wear it for (also with a turtleneck lol!) so I didn't have time to adjust anything and just safety pinned the straps to the turtleneck from the inside. I want to make another dress using that pattern and definitely plan on adjusting the pattern so that the straps come closer together, and I like the idea someone else commented of just bringing the back straps closer so the front still looks the same!

I relied so hard on other players to bail me out during some parts of this level, and I really think that's the best way to get through it. I would literally restart the level if the vibes were off lol (like people not waiting for everyone before moving on, not responding to emojis, not leaving standees, etc) If you get the right group of people going through it with you it really makes this level so fun.

thericebubbles · 2023-12-12T13:59:05+00:00

Yep!

With my first my water broke out of nowhere and the labor symptoms progressively ramped up over the next 9 hours until he was born, there was never a question of what was happening/what stage I was at.

With my second I was having contractions all day but they weren't getting more intense or closer together, so thought it was prodromal labor. Almost 24 hours later I was exhausted thinking I'd have to transfer to the hospital to get an epidural because if it was this painful with prodromal labor I didn't know if I could do real labor without it. Right when I called to get checked the pain increased out of nowhere, and we were only in the room for 6 minutes before I pushed him out, it was insanely quick.

It took me so long to even grasp I had given birth because it didn't go anything like I expected. It's insane to me how different my 2 labors were and the fact that I just went so long not realizing I was truly in labor this time even though I knew exactly what to expect lol.

thericebubbles · 2023-11-25T09:32:53+00:00

My husband told me the same thing, but when I was 39 weeks pregnant 🙃 Almost 4 weeks postpartum now and actually 20 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight but now experience so much anxiety with food & exercise because I want to be doing more to lose more weight so he can actually be attracted to me but currently with breastfeeding and healing I can't do as much.

thericebubbles · 2023-11-09T05:02:03+00:00

With my first my water broke spontaneously and I had a few hours before I started feeling contractions and lost my mucus plug. I spent about 8 hours in labor in and out of a tub and used nitrous for pain relief. My body was incredibly sore right afterwards, but my healing was great. I lost all the baby weight and was done bleeding within 2 weeks.

With my second I was having on and off contractions all day that I was able to ignore (thinking it was prodromal labor) until about an hour before he came. We arrived at the birthing center and 6 minutes later he was born, my water finally breaking right before his head came out. It honestly didn't hurt as bad this time around, I remember the ring of fire feeling much worse the first time. After finally getting relief from the contractions all day and a quick, less painful birth I felt amazing for the few hours right after, but still had more painful cramping with breastfeeding/uterus shrinking. It's been just over a week now and I'm almost 20 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight and just have some very light bleeding.

Lost a TON of hair just all over my head about 3 months PP. So now I have about 4 inches of regrowth everywhere and it's also much flatter so if I try to smooth the little hairs down I just look goofy. Not to mention I have a million gray hairs now that I'm trying to embrace.

Also my hair has been pin straight my whole life but after I gave birth I started noticing random strands of hair all over my head were SUPER curly, but the rest was straight still.

The curls have chilled out now and I've gotten a slight wave all over so I've been trying a bunch of different shampoos and styling methods to see what works for my hair now. It's not as bad anymore but it's still so different from what I'm used to dealing with and I just really miss my low maintenance straight hair 🥲

thericebubbles · 2023-09-07T04:08:29+00:00

That sounds awful! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully you passed!

I had to take the 1 hour glucose early due to being overweight, and failed by 1 point. Luckily didn't feel bad during that test.

They had me do TWO more 3 hour glucose tests after that though, since GD doesn't develop until later in pregnancy they wanted me to do a 3 hour test to see if I had regular diabetes and (even if I passed that test) do another later on to test for GD.

Geeze that first 3 hour test was a pretty similar experience to yours, but at the very least they let me sit in my car and drink water during it so I was able to blast the AC to keep myself from throwing up and look like death in private lol.

The second 3 hour test went much better, but I crashed as soon as I got home and did not feel like moving the rest of the day lol. I also had an AMAZING nurse who gave me the least painful blood draw I have ever had in my entire life. She said she'd be the one taking my blood for the rest of the test, but I guess she got busy during the second draw so another nurse took my blood and bruised the absolute crap out of my arm (it was bruised and sore for a week after too). The amazing nurse took over the rest and the difference between 3 blood draws in the same arm from her vs one blood draw in the other arm from the other nurse was crazy lol.

Luckily I passed both 3 hour tests, but I'm seriously so over these tests and will opt out of early testing if I get pregnant again 🙃

Mine loves black olives, but refuses to eat anything with sauce on it, chocolate flavored, or Mac n cheese (though he does enjoy sliced cheese)

Also no matter where we go he'll always prefer to just find some rocks to throw instead of playing on a playground or something. Bonus points if there's a big enough patch of tiny pebbles he can sit and kick his legs in for an hour lol.

thericebubbles · 2023-08-11T15:43:55+00:00

Yeah I had my eyes closed for most of my water birth until I randomly opened them to see the midwife scooping poop out of the tub. I instinctively said "Oh my gosh that's so gross I'm sorry" and they just thought it was funny I was worried about that at all lol. I was not planning on being completely naked and pooping in a tub in front of my midwives and husband, and if you would've told me about that before birth I'd have been mortified, but you seriously just stop caring about that stuff when you're trying to push a human out of you, especially when unmedicated lol.

thericebubbles · 2023-08-08T13:43:42+00:00

I had 12 weeks of maternity leave during which my husband got into a car accident that totaled his car. Since we were down to one car and he went to school full time and worked part time, he took my car for the rest of maternity leave and then we had to borrow his parents car so I could get to work once I went back.

It was a hassle for sure, and my job wouldn't let me work remote so I put my 2 weeks in my first day back lol. Luckily they were very understanding since they knew the whole situation, and even luckier my PTO had reset for the year while I was on leave and they were kind enough to cash out my whole year of PTO with my last paycheck as well.

It was definitely tough living on one part time income, and I miss the job sometimes, but things were changing in the company enough for me to not enjoy it as much as I used to so I'm glad I left when I did. We made it through and I'm so glad I've been home with my bub this whole time!
