Who are your fashion/beauty icons?
I think Anne Hathaway has been looking great. I also look at what Kate Middleton is doing. The model Liu Wen has been popping up in ads again, looking very chic.
I applaud the armies of workers behind these women that have made these looks possible!
I have already talked to my doctors about this issue, but am hoping that someone here has experience with this issue:
I am currently 26 weeks pregnant. I started having Braxton-Hicks contractions at 20 weeks. They have gotten increasingly severe, to the point of at times being painful. Some days I will have 10-15 intense contractions an hour, for 8 hours or more. I have been to the doctor twice for this, and ended up in the hospital once – they are able to confirm that I’m not actually in preterm labor (no cervical changes, negative fetal fibronectin), but there is no explanation or solution for the contractions other than the standard advice (change positions! go for a walk! lay down! talk a warm bath! drink water! pee!).
Does anyone else have experience with this? I started having B-H early with my first, but it was never this bad – this has become fairly life-limiting since when it’s at its worst, I’m in extreme discomfort (not as bad as labor, but not something Ic an ignore) and can’t really do things like play with my kid/attend to work/deal with my household. The prospect of 14 more weeks of this is hard to think about.
My DS#2 turns 3 soon (!) and I’d like to get him a tricycle for the holidays or his birthday. We are not a big biking family (would love if we were…), so don’t need anything to top-of-the-line. Open to balance bikes, too – not sure if he’s too old?
Note: We have one trike which was gifted to DS #1 when he was 2+ but it was never used because it almost has *too* many bells and whistles, and can’t get scooted around without pedals – I’m going to give this a try as well.
I am not willing to leave my daycare provider for many reasons, even if that solves this particular one, so no need to suggest that.
Anyone had a provider who insisted on pull-ups until kiddo was fully trained? I think it’s making this harder that it has to be. LO is a boy, just turned 3, did oh cr*p a few weeks ago and he was awesome. He has been 100% on #2 for a full month now, even going when we are out and about, on a road trip he asked for potty for #2, so I think we’re good there barring a major regression.
#1 is another story. He just knows the pull-up is there and lets loose. I’m just looking for hope that it’s possible w/ a provider that insists on pull-ups til no accidents (which he’s not there yet for sure, when he gets busy he forgets even in undies and yells “I HAFA PEE”, clutches his crotch, and then is mid-pee by the time we get to potty – totally age appropriate imo) that kiddo gets over the pull-ups and buys in to the concept. We are leaning hard into bribes/sticker chart right now to see if that does the trick. And also, pre-‘oh cr*p’ isn’t this what people did on the regular? and kids got it eventually right?
Other details – she has him go at regular intervals and he always goes, no problem with being scared of her potty or her not prompting enough. I think especially when playing outside, he doesn’t want to stop playing and knows he has the pull-up.
