We are trying for baby #2 next cycle. I struggled 9 months with conception and took a short break to fix some health issues that I feel are now resolved.

In that break I lost 25lbs and made huge lifestyle changes to prep my mind and body for a new baby.

The cards I pulled were in order:

The Hermit, Death, and The World

My overall interpretation of this is basically

The hermit is telling me that I studied and prepped for the changes I needed in order to be successful

Death was the actual work and hard labor I put into this change

The world is the new birth and new beginnings that are to come because of the workings of the hermit and death.

I feel very affirmed in this and feel extremely positive and hopeful for my upcoming journey of becoming a mom of 2

Tomorrow we are going to a packager to complete our official USDA Direct Loan application (NOT the Guaranteed Loan).

What are some questions we should ask?

Also open to hearing your experiences with this specific type of loan and how loan the entire thing went.

Thank you so much!

I struggled last year with secondary infertility which I feel was due to my weight.

At the end of December I did the 12 days of solstice where you write down 12 intentions and each day you pull out one intention (they’re folded up you have no idea which one it is) and you burn it. The last remaining intention is the one you yourself have to focus on. All the other intentions the universe will take care of for you. The one intention left for me to focus on was “healthy weight” and I have been. It’s also very funny because I told my partner that I already knew that would be the last one for me to focus on. I’ve lost 25lbs since January and I feel amazing. I am continuing to lose more as well. Conceiving a child was on one of those intentions I burned and my next cycle is the cycle we are trying again for the first time since December and everything just feels sooo different physically and mentally.

I have signs of extreme fertility which I didn’t before and I have an amazing sense of confidence in conceiving like I never had before. I know I will be pregnant with the baby girl I’ve always wanted. I can see her now playing with her brother. I know what she looks like. It’s almost like it’s already happened how clear I can see it.

My altar is set up for all things girl and fertility and to Ostara. I have been manifesting this girl and just know it’s coming. I have no doubt.

I am also open to any advice on crystals or fertility spells you may have had success with. I love candle and jar spell work. Thank you 🖤🖤

Long story short, I work for a very small family owned business. When I first started there I put my address when I was living out of state from where my workplace is. They never noticed it and when I got my w2 it shows me owing taxes to the out of state and they informed me I could not file with those out of state taxes because they’re not licensed out of state? Whatever. So since January I’ve been waiting for quickbooks to update my w2 and to update my address to stop taking taxes out for the other state. The owner of the business has called them a few times and they just say it’s processing. He told me to file an extension on my taxes.

Is this normal? I won’t owe taxes and I’d be getting a small $600 refund so I’m not like super worried about it but it’s almost May and it’s so odd to not have this corrected. My paychecks still have the other state taxes coming out. They use quickbooks for payroll.

My fault. Left it in the grass while I was doing yard work and the kids got ahold of it and threw it on the ground over and over again until it was completely destroyed.

Now they’re being sold for $150??? :(

I’m so so upset.

Is anyone selling theirs by chance for face value?

I’ve been having some stomach issues for over a week now and there’s not a single person I can talk to about it without them asking if I’m pregnant. It’s friends, coworkers, family. I’m so over it.

Before I even struggled with TTC, I just knew to not ask that question to a woman because you never know if it’s a sensitive one to ask or not.

But no, literally wish I was pregnant but I am just dealing with bloating, gas, and cramps for some unknown reason.
