this one had been brewing for a couple months before the pregnancy. I had the same toe have problems and have to be treated like 15 years ago.

@kboydbowman have you considered having it permanently made to go away? I used to dance & have sooo many issues with my feet and toes (I would lose my big toenail at least once a year) that once I’m done having babies & breastfeeding I am going to get my nail bed narrowed so I stop getting them.
My weekly random is that my husband and I have recently been talking a lot about autism and ADHD/ADD as we have officially started diagnosis with our DD. We know that it’s 80% hereditable so we both suspect we are both. I saw on tiktok a while ago a test that people having been using to get autism diagnosis as an adult so took the test myself. The threshold for diagnosis is 65 (nobody in the studies that was neurotypical scored above 65) and I scored 161 😂 it was actually really validating because it explains so much about my life. I sent it to my best friend and she scored very similar to me and that makes sense why we are so close. Not sure if I will do anything with this new knowledge but it’s interesting to know.
Also, now that I had a clean ultrasound, I'm going to start making my pregnancy tea again. Brewing a batch now. Does anyone else do this?

Do you think that means there's a chance all my grey hairs will go back to my natural color??
@wiseh
We did testing for ADHD/ADD with both my boys. My 8 year old had some symptoms associated with sensory processing disorder but he didn't fall on the spectrum at all. The process can be long but you'll be so glad you did it! My teenager has an IEP for his ADD and I don't think he would be as successful in school without the additional support he gets.
@kboydbowman
What's in the brew?
@trapperkeeper87 the hair on my head is a constant mess. Half wavy, half straight. I’ve totally given up and just use my husband’s shampoo because I like how it smells. Work is lucky if I brush it lol.
@laj0217 That's kind of how mine was. It was straight and then a bump of waves in the middle, halfway down until the end. That was annoying enough, but this is another level. On the plus side, I really only have to wash my hair like once a week now. 🤷♀️
@mnmomma84 - stinging nettle, oat straw, rose hips, spearmint, and a ilttle bit of red raspberry leaf. I'll note that the red raspbery leaf is slightly controversial - some people will say it's good, some people will say bad, some say in small quantitites. I'm in the "small quantities" category.

@babywiik I’m so glad I’m not alone! I am dreaming about going home and browsing Target. Hopefully in June we will be able to go!

It's a labor of love and much more entertaining to compile than laundry.
