OMG how is he that old already?

Heh this is us - my sister just got the kiddo the kohl's one. He lovvvvvves it.

ROFL an anti vaxxer? Well since a cursory glance at my posting history proves that statement to be 100% idiotic and untrue on it's face alone I guess we can all agree you sure told me. Fucking idiot. I am staunchly pro-vax - I even asked if my pediatrician would allow anti-vaxxers at their...

Yes. I said she was a moron. You took the words right out of my mouth! Guidance changes. The current guidance is don't shake it. When we were growing up cigarettes didn't cause cancer. Formula was BETTER than breastmilk. Don't see a need to get all butthurt about it jesus. I swear you...

If you accessed it from mobile I can see how the confusion happened. It takes me to google when I click the link from my phone (just tried) - clicking from my browser/pc takes me to intended results. I did also say that I did in fact know what it was, I had just never seen what it meant...

....it was a 'don't shake the breastmilk' answer on google. FFS. You're right. Next time I'll use one syllable words to make sure I don't lose people like you in the conversation. Why the fuck ANYONE would think that 'shaking' or 'heating' milk homogenizes it is like beyond my level of...

Hopefully she delivers soon if she hasn't already. Otherwise they are going to start pushing her towards a c-section.

No shit. Never said that it did. The point was that non homogenized milk will separate when chilled. Breastmilk, since it's not homogenized, will separate. And the best way to get the solids mixed back in is through gentle steady heating. Otherwise the solids wont come through the nipple and...

You have to heat breastmilk that's been in the fridge. It's non homogenized. Otherwise it separates and you wont get all of the fats/good stuff out and into the kid. I had no clue what homogenization was (I mean I did but I hadn't really seen it first hand) until I started pumping and storing...

Yeah fundamentally there aren't a whole lot of "holy shit don't do that." Kids are pretty sturdy. It's a mind fuck but eventually you figure out you won't break your kid :P Like if you want a short list of stuff that comes to mind that isn't controversial/opinion based: 1. Baby sleeps...

Also I think that fathers taking 3 months leave is insane. There's like no need for that much time off. Granted my husband works from home and gets 2 weeks worth of paternity leave that he can break up however he wants over a year - that was much more helpful. He took a week off when kid was...

This. He has favorite pieces he looks for too it's nuts. We are getting him the duplo batman set for xmas.

STD doesn't work this way unless you have like a 4th degree vag to ass tear with a csection that went wrong. Standard is 6 weeks for vaginal, 8 weeks for csection. STD isn't a 'maternity' benefit - its a 'you have a medical disability' benefit. And the 6/8 week healing time frames are...

The second one feels even less real. Maybe because it's going by so fast and I am not focused on it as much as I was with the first, maybe the anterior placenta dulling movements is part of it.....like I keep having to remind myself that holy shit we are having a second kid in like 3 months...

Yuuuuuuuuuuuup.

I mean I don't disagree with you haha. Like for real I don't get it.

Dude I don't even think age makes a difference. A few months back CEO brings in friend to help with a strategic capture effort. Friend is like late 60's, and was effectively run out of her last job and has a rep in the industry of being a pain in the ass and a moron. I didn't know this, she...

This. Frankly I listen to a lot of people bitch about their jobs in general and for 90% of them it's all transmit mode but no receiver mode. Yes, there are instances where working with someone is a pain in the ass but that's every fucking job ever. You play the game and that includes figuring...

heh my kiddo (almost 16 months) was a lion too - target costume though. We actually did some trick or treating - he had a fucking BLAST. We had a group of 15 month olds, about 4 of em plus a few older kids and he didn't get the concept of like candy and the bag so I held the bag but he ran...

I mean I don't plan my life around trying to answer the burning question in someone else's head about trying to buy pink shit versus blue shit. Especially if you want to buy shit that is neutral for future use by subsequent kids. Your kid CAN survive in a green or yellow colored pack n play...

Congrats Tred!!! Our 20 week scan (we had at 19 weeks) was last fri - the Verifi test results have been sitting in our file for almost 2 months with the sex of the baby whited out in them so neither us nor our doctors knows (she likes being surprised because apparently no one waits to find...

This is kind of what I was driving towards. (underlined). In re the sitting there not saying nothing - for me it's not the dead wrong thing. I'm in the if I'm wrong I'll apologize camp. I hate people who don't do that so I make it a point to do it. Why keep arguing if you know you're wrong...

My home situation was fucked up....a lot. Emotional and physical abuse big time. My dad was a controlling selfish alcoholic who cheated on my mom. She in turn took her frustration out on me. Not an awesome situation. He left 3 days after Christmas my sophomore year in college. He tried to...

Yeah I mean.....like I am not one to be all like 'omg hormones pregnants' but....I'd give it time. Wanting to uproot your life when you are pregnant and still have young kids....that's just not sane. Like maybe since she knows this is the last time she will be pregnant she's looking back...

Yeah I'm about 17.5 weeks and I've had some flutters but no real definitive or continuous movement....I can't remember when it happened with my son; I think it was like the second week in Feb when I first felt anything so I would have been.....right around 17-18 weeks again. So I am trying...

Good luck dude!

No. I gave an example of the type of gravity of stress needed to impact fertility. You were reducing it to "well if you try and look under the hood that's counterproductive". Which is stupid bullshit that as a_skeleton_03 and no doubt others on this board know first hand have said that needs...

https://www.asrm.org/uploadedFiles/A...efertility.pdf Page 4. There's some amount of variance - like some studies will put the numbers at slightly higher than 20% for those in their 20's, like 15% for 30-35 year olds, but most drop to less than 10% by the time a woman hits 35.

Says its extremely variant. Your whole "knowing shit and checking gauges" thing isn't really the type of stress that impacts it. The studies do say it has to be extreme - the example I gave was hyperbole but normal healthy amounts of stress won't do anything is my point. If you're like...

Had the opposite experience. Did all the things, knocked up first cycle both times. Stress has to be pretty extreme to impact fertility - like as in you're in a warzone/refugee extreme. Those people above I mentioned who were doing all the things 8-9 months were not trying but not...

Also I love peeing on things. Pee on all the things.

yeah I mean I've said it before - with PERFECT timing it can take a healthy couple up to a year to conceive. There's women I know that have been temping/charting/using fertility monitors for 8-9 months hitting every single day in the fertility window with no luck. Given all that you were...

This is all you need to know: In 1995, the New England Journal of Medicine researchers proclaimed that, "the timing of sexual intercourse in relation to ovulation has no bearing on the sex of the baby." There are also studies found in The International Journal of Fertility and the American...

Also my husband found this useful - would recommend Tuco. Dads Guide to Pregnancy For Dummies: Matthew M. F. Miller, Sharon Perkins RN: 9780470767900: Amazon.com: Books

There's a ton out there. Google Shettles debunked for starters. My research is what's saying that the old wives tales is bullshit. The "eat more sweets its a girl" stuff is too - what you are craving is due to deficiencies most often, not related at all to what sex you are carrying...

Like I mean I get that you don't know but I don't know what the hell you mean by "well most of the research isn't credible because its a female dominated subject"...like dude...what a totally ignorant thing to say considering that most doctors in that field are male and have been for a long...

Congrats!!! I'm only about 1 month -1.5 months behind! Also at 13 weeks the genitals extremely similar - don't go buying blue stuff just yet. Are you all going to do stuff like Materniti21 this time around since she's considered high risk due to age? I'm 33 and we're going to do it this...

...how about 10th grade biology? You make y chromosomes. She doesn't? Like I'm completely ...STUNNED at your answer. Seriously.
