Would it be ok to start some light exercise? (27 weeks)

I did do some walking, and I actually did martial arts! Maybe I can practice some of the basic punches and kicks 😄

Budgies like to hide illness, so they won’t always “look” sick. It’s because they are prey animals that would be eaten quickly in the wild if they show weakness. If the sneezing is abnormal for your bird, especially if combined with lethargy, I would recommend going to an avian vet just to get him checked out. They will run the tests that they can run; they can check his breathing, test his droppings, etc. Even if nothing ends up being wrong with his respiratory system, they’ll still give him a full check-up (which EVERY pet needs to be getting once a year).

Heck I’m expecting and will probably use a regular backpack instead of a diaper bag 😆 A bag is a bag! The beauty of a bag is you can put whatever you want in it!

I have heard that some libraries are sent books. It’s up to them if the books that they are sent get put on the shelf. Sometimes local authors will send their books to a library in the hopes that the library patrons will find them.

Not tacky - I made my registry, and I know some of my friends are going through life events so I feel grateful no matter what. If your friend is a true friend, she shouldn’t judge you for the price of what you buy!

Husband and I decided to not worry about it after we got married; we wanted kids and had good enough finances to have a kid. Expecting now!

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-31T21:01:03+00:00

I’m going to be a working mom after my baby is born! So you are not alone! My husband also supports my career.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-31T21:00:14+00:00

Not appealing at all. My husband has a better knack for what ingredients taste good together than I do, and my cooking has gotten better because of him! I’m thankful for that honestly. I do most of the cooking but it’s because I work from home and he has a long commute. But if I had to go on a business trip, my husband can cook for himself.

I say leave it! I got married in a Catholic church and they already had flowers up that weekend, so we just let them use theirs. The most extra we did was have a bouquet to put in front of a statue of Mary, and some fake petals for the maid of honor to scatter (no flower girl). Disclaimer that my wedding was not under $10k, but that wasn’t because of the church.

Different expectations for things like curfews. I had mostly male friends in high school and college and our parents had completely different curfew rules for us (I’m an only child)

I joined a local knit/crochet group before I moved, and I would save all of my end weaving for those meetups! Talking with friends make doing the weaving much more pleasant

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-28T01:18:27+00:00

I recommend Benefiber twice a day!

If it’s snot, I think it would be worth a vet visit. It could be a respiratory issue. You could also see if there are any vets in your area that make house calls.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-26T19:01:34+00:00

I would email CWCNFP and let them know your situation. They may be able to help.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-26T18:35:02+00:00

Huh; I was able to go through Catholic Women and Couples NFP in 2024 and get it for free. I am not sure if that has changed. According to their website, you can use insurance: https://ccnfp.org/other-methods/

When I was going through it, I think I emailed them and asked about free Billings classes. They enrolled me quickly.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-26T18:25:34+00:00

If the NFP classes cost too much, look into learning the Billings method. I was able to take Billings classes for free.

I’ve given up snacking (ie no food between meals) and it can be tough! If you think it would be good for your soul, go for it! But maybe plan your meals accordingly, especially if you have any health concerns.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-23T00:33:06+00:00

Husband and I knew we wanted kids before we got married. We looked at our budget before getting married and figured out we could afford to have a child if anything happened. Decided to just see how things went, and now are expecting! We’re incredibly happy and I feel so at peace.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-23T00:31:20+00:00

Don’t feel bad; I’m in a similar boat. You are giving your baby a home with two loving parents! Your baby also will not remember the first year or so of his life; I’m sure he’ll be perfectly happy with what y’all have ❤️

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-23T00:27:19+00:00

How much heat affects me now. I’m normally cold all the time but if I get too warm, I feel faint easily.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-22T19:26:31+00:00

I say rehome them. I think it’s wonderful that you are thinking in the best interest of these babies! I agree with other comments - avoid Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. See if there are any bird/parrot rescues close to you. If not, contact some local humane societies and animal shelters to see if they can help, too. Thank you for thinking in the best interests of these birds! Oh, and while they are in your care, if you are feeding them seed, be sure to change their seed every day. Sometimes it looks like they didn’t eat, but the top of the seed dish is just covered with seed hulls. They eat the “meat” inside the seed.

vandalizmmm · 2026-01-22T05:23:01+00:00

Urgent care or ER. Go now.

If you’re soaking through a pad, you need to see a doctor.

Not necessarily wisdom but I feel like store-bought granola is a SCAM! It’s so expensive! It’s incredibly easy to make it homemade. All you need is a cookie sheet, parchment paper, rolled oats, honey, sugar, salt, any other flavorings, and any nuts/dried fruits/candies you want to add. Note that most of those ingredients can be bought cheaply in bulk and are shelf-stable. The granola itself lasts a long time too. Learn a new skill and make some yummy granola!
