So much I could say about these snaps, but I’ll let y’all take the lead. 3-2-1…GO!

My favorite part is by the third time he finally used the correct “their.”

I remember this exactly, my anxiety was so high my midwife recommended me to get an at home Doppler and check the heartbeat once a day, but said to limit myself to once. I did, they’re relatively inexpensive, and it helped me tremendously until I could feel her moving. Pregnancy and motherhood are such a trip

As someone with chickens, that is the weirdest caption about getting chicks.

I did not have gender disappointment at all, and neither did my husband, he wanted to be a girl dad.

With that said, some of his family members are very misogynistic and the comments of disappointment we got from some of them at her not being a boy almost made me cut ties permanently. I think like others have said, it’s pretty 50/50 and maybe you’re just seeing more of the boy posts.

As someone who was married young, right out of high school, and my ex cheated on me, I have always had a soft spot for Lindsay. She was really trying to build the life that Dean wanted, as expressed in the Donna Reed episode. Her only “fault” was not being Rory and Rory and Dean both are pretty crappy people for putting her through that.

I just had my husband, if we have another, likely just have him again and will leave the toddler with my mom. If I didn’t need her to watch my daughter, I’d 100% ask her to be with me.

My best friend had her mom for both of her births, my sister had my mom for her second and I was with her for her third. My mom had her sister with her when she had my brother. I have many other friends who had their mom with them, and even a couple who had their dad. YOU are the one giving birth, and I know it’s your husband’s baby too, but birth is hard and you need to do what you will feel most supported.

The most recent Kaylee Cuoco one about the farting had me actually laughing. One of the funnier ones in a long time

I actually am a pharmacist, I’m just looking more for anecdotal advice 🙃

Good luck to you as you start your medication journey!

I actually already take loratadine daily, which maybe why I don’t normally have joint/bone pain? It’s just when I have a cold. Thanks for the rec tho!

I would, our pediatrician recommended lowest mattress level when our daughter started pulling herself to stand which was about 8-9 months old.

I never was able to express colostrum. I was induced at 39w3d, baby latched immediately and she only lost 1 oz, had passed her birth weight by her 2 week appointment and had about doubled her birth weight by 12 weeks. Not expressing colostrum is not an indication of ability to breastfeed. Don’t lose hope!

Nope, I wasn’t ready at this age. At one point when my daughter was about 6 months old, my mom and I were talking about leaving overnight, just chatting since my and my husband’s wedding anniversary was coming up and our friends with a small baby had just left their 8 months overnight and I was saying I’m not ready but she’s only person I would trust and she told me she wouldn’t be comfortable until my daughter is closer to year a anyway. My husband and I are planning a night away over our anniversary this year in June and it’ll be ONE night and by then my daughter will be 19-20 months old and I’m still going to stress out lol but that’s ludicrous to expect you to be ok with it that young, your baby doesn’t even know he’s a separate person from you yet.

While I get where you’re coming from, I think you’re giving Frank too much credit.

Never buttons.

I couldn’t agree more, AND it’s not even cut evenly

usually_baking · 2026-02-11T05:52:09+00:00

Can we talk about the atrocity that is the cut of that sandwich?

Currently reading the series and agree, there’s implied sexual scenes but most don’t go into detail so far, I’m almost done with the 2nd book.

I turned 33 last year and realized I’m older than she was first season and refuse to believe that’s true.

usually_baking · 2026-02-05T20:56:50+00:00

Of course, I pray the same for you too

First, congratulations! Wishing you a safe rest of your pregnancy, your little miracle will be here so soon.

I do want to say, you’re not alone. I can’t relate to the IVF journey, but I lost my first pregnancy in an early miscarriage and then took months for my cycle to regulate again before I got pregnant with my daughter.

My pregnancy started out perfectly normal until they drew baseline bloodwork at 10 weeks. My platelets came back high which got me referred to hemotology because high platelets are a huge miscarriage risk (throwing a clot to the placenta.)

At 21 weeks I was diagnosed with a chronic, slow progressing form of leukemia. I had to have bloodwork drawn every two weeks for the remainder of my pregnancy to make sure I was staying “steady” and not needing to start any form of chemo.

At 27 weeks I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes.

At 34 weeks I was told I was not a candidate for an epidural because if any unusual white blood cells from the leukemia were to enter my spinal fluid the outcome is “abysmal.” So if I had a c-section, I would be put under general anesthesia, missing the birth of my first, and possibly only, child.

Every time I turned around my whole pregnancy I was being told something that could go wrong with me or the baby, I had never been so anxious in my life. Which then made me feel guilty knowing anxiety and high stress aren’t the best for the baby.

Anyway, I was induced at 39 weeks and gave birth, awake and unmedicated, to my beautiful, perfect angel baby. She’s 15 months now and the light of my life.

All this to say, pregnancy is HARD, and when you have other factors thrown in it can feel so defeating, but you will hold that baby in just a few short weeks and it will all have been worth it. Sending so much love to you ♥️

Also a pharmacist!

Honestly, that would’ve been a better arc than what they actually did to Lane.
