ADHD here and I’m looking at this like ‘…that sounds like a great idea actually’

Went to metalworking class and learned how to anneal copper & brass & give it fun textures 🤩

Went to handbuilding class and literally grated off extra clay from the rim of my Seder plate. Incredibly satisfying :D

Had my oldest internet friend (in duration of friendship, not age) and her wife over! They brought lunch and cuddled our 3-month-old.

I would totally use that giant salmon sashimi comforter idk about you

It might be deliberate advertising for the family business? It’s listed by a ‘Billy R Puckett Jr’.

Tragically you do not get to keep the large rock! They specifically mention this! :(

The sidewalks of my town are littered with stomped spotted lanternflies. Truly a universal activity for young and old!

I’m going to go for the first time ever! Not sure what day tho yet. Also yes @panic.gay is awesome :D

My ability to mask has gone totally to shit; all my coping mechanisms are disappearing in a haze of overstimulation, sleep deprivation, and inability to leave the baby/not pump for longer than 3 hours.

I’m frustrated that I didn’t know I had ADHD till I was 8 weeks pregnant, because if I had known earlier I could have been on meds pre-pregnancy and then maybe I could have kept taking them postpartum. Instead I can’t start anything till I’m not exclusively breastfeeding.

When your new baby smiles at you for the first (and second, and third…) time.

Catching the foreshadowing in a book a handful of pages before the hinted thing actually happens.

Nope. I was in active labor and after two failed tries to place the IV, the nurse admitted defeat & called in a more experienced person to do it.

There is also a new med specifically for lupus nephritis (kidney lupus) and the health educators can speak to navigating insurance and getting the company that produces the meds to pay for them/getting a reduced price. (Full disclosure: I am on maternity leave from LFA lmao)

That sucks! If you want a (not-officially-medical-but-highly-informed) place to start on lupus, the Lupus Foundation of America (www.lupus.org) has a lot of info & a health educator line you can call or submit a form to with questions about what tests drs might run, etc.
