Lorelai and Luke are engaged but there are two whole seasons left... 👁️👄👁️

I'm scared. I feel like they have been so perfect together (first time watcher) and I kinda know what happens but not fully. I'm just sad...why couldn't the writers just leave them alone? Allow them to grow as characters together and have conflict about new marriage, moving maybe, idk! 🫩😭

Anyone else in SoCal?

Anyone else in SoCal? How to help baby's heat rash?

It's all over, legs, face, arms, back and chest :( I'm assuming heat rash because California has had a very bad heatwave with intense humidity and he usually has perfect skin and since the humidity it's flared up.

Any recommendations? I thought it was eczema at first but now I think it's prickly heat so not sure how to treat this. Thankfully weather starts to calm down.

Did I miss my peak? CD 12 I think, DPO unknown

I just came off birth control had a lot of EWCM but unsure if that's just hormones, I was on progesterone based birth control.

The top was last night because I decided to test and it wasn't exactly darker than control line but definitely darker than the two from today. Middle is morning and bottom was afternoon (both today).

One nap or is it the heat?

My son turns one in October and is 10 months.

We have never had a problem with naps till now but idk if it's time to switch to one nap a day or if it's this damn heat. We are in SoCal in coastal OC and the heatwave has been insane with intense humidity.

We usually do wake up at 6am, first nap at 9am and second nap at 1 or 2pm bedtime at 7:30pm.

So a 3/4/4 ish schedule

He has not been laying down for naps, like right now he's up in his crib playing when usually he goes right to sleep when I lay him down.

Not sure what to do? Could the heat be bothering him? I have a fan going in his room which helps, we have no AC and then he's in his diaper only. He went to bed perfectly last night but now he doesn't seem to want to nap last few days.

Thoughts? I feel like 10ish months is too early for one nap a day?

This heat is making my poor baby break out, I needs recs for lotion.

I think it is a flare up of eczema because my husband gets it too.

I need a lotion for after a bath or just something to maybe help with it! He is a redhead, so fair skin and more sensitive than normal. His little cheeks, arms and legs are just breaking out, this socal humidity sucks!!!

What works for your baby? No coconut oil or tallow based products please, as we both break out from that.

Finally quit my job and a SAHM

I am so excited. I was previously wfhm but I couldn't juggle it anymore, I found myself getting so frustrated with my work anytime they sent me more tasks. Essentially it was either wake up earlier and work or stay up later and work, the money wasn't worth it anymore my paycheck was basically just extra spending money because I went from FT to PT after my son. I just have one 10 month old, one in October but he is ACTIVE. I could not work if he is awake but I can do house tasks or other things, but being on my laptop... nope.

Anyone else just transitioning from work to SAHM? How has it been for you?

I'm in coastal OC so there is a lot for us to do, we just went to Disneyland yesterday and he did great. I can't wait to finally have more time and not be stressed about not making deadlines during his naptime or being on my phone 24/7 because of calls or last minute requests.

Welcome to your new home, you are actually my prisoner 💌

Link listing

I know it's a 1 acre lot but still. I feel like this should maybe cost a dollar.

What is the appeal for this style?

Some of the houses in the surrounding area are really pretty and match the environment well. Thank goodness this is tucked away because WHAT an eye sore...

For those who have one IVF baby, when did you decide on a transfer for #2?

It took me three transfers for my son! I'll probably do the exact same protocol... but we have one embryo left and I'm unsure when to start. I love breastfeeding and im currently on birth control but I am worried about the timeline and waiting too long in between transfers. He will be one in October. I'll have to do Lupron suppression again so basically that will end my breastfeeding journey with him.

When did you do another transfer for #2?

Girly you didn't get the parts because you can't move your face

She randomly popped up on my fyp. Haven't seen her much but typed her name in reddit and wow her before picture to now? Like why would you touch your face if you want to become an actress? And yes... actresses and actors have Botox but they are already established in the industry and usually get hired because of their name and status.

Did anyone else push for six hours?

I'm almost a year postpartum and still shocked I pushed this long! When all was said and done I thought it was normal till I talked to people and the horror on their faces lol! My son turns one in October and I can't believe how fast time has gone!

I did IVF and was induced at 39 weeks, son was 8.1lbs and had a large head. I labored unmedicated for nine hours but Pitocin is the devil's liquid I stg!! Tapped out and thank goodness I did because I was only 4cm but my contractions were so close together. Another 9 hours of epidural labor (I mainly slept) and then bam 10cm! Time to push! Little did I know 3am pushing would last until 9:28am!! My OBGYN came in at 6am and made all the difference. Big guy and I were healthy and steady so my OBGYN kept encouraging me to keep pushing. Every time I heard someone say you are getting close I would be like I heard that the last hour lol! If I remember correctly his head was having trouble getting past my pelvic bone or something. Either way, at the sixth hour he was ready, they got the suction and one more push with the plunger and TADA 🎉

Overall was a positive experience for me because my team was incredibly supportive and just amazing! Cheers!!

Machine won't steam anymore

It worked just fine before this and now the steam wand doesn't work. I have been very diligent with descaling, cleaning, all the works. I did everything I could and no clog so is it a piece that needs to be repaired? I've had this machine for five years. It's the infuser model. The wand doesn't steam anymore it just drips water and then if I press the cup button all the steam comes out that way.

I called customer service and they were no help. Am I better off getting a new machine or is there a part that's easily fixed?

Close friend diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer...prognosis?

Our close friend is 40 and was just diagnosed, we are all in shock. He went in for something totally unrelated and ended up having an erosion of the c2 vertebrae causing a fracture...they then found the cause was a tumor I believe and then biopsy reports just came back and it is stage 4 colon cancer. This is the first person in our life that has received a cancer diagnosis... I'm super unfamiliar with colon cancer and the likelihood of survival. What is the prognosis and treatment options? Can it be fully cured? How can my husband and I support him and his wife from anyone who has been in this position.

Dinner is served!

Salmon, bok choy and cottage cheese with raspberry jam! I cooked my raspberries because I am a bit timid with that parasite going around? They don't know the cause yet or source but I'm not taking any risk! So I made some jam with my berries.

When to test if nervous about possible pregnancy? Unsure of ovulation.

I am on slynd progesterone only birth control... I'm on cycle day 22 and I was late multiple times with my birth control (just totally forgot) and we had unprotected sex multiple times. I spotted yesterday and thought period was coming but nada. I know it could be birth control but to ease my mind I'll probably test if I don't have a full flow. When should I test if I don't end up having a flow? Is a flow guaranteed with this pill? It's also my first month on slynd.
