The Happy Thread!

[deepblue]

20 week ultrasound a few days ago. Got to see my little one for the first time. It was so amazing to have that little window open up and see her. And I am so surprised that I'm having a little girl! For some reason, the previously 100% accurate pendulum test said she was a boy. *shrug* That's her head on the right and her ribcage to the left.

I don't know how I missed that earlier! Congratulations, so completely awesome. <3

So happy to say that I got to go on my first swim as a mermaid. Just recently moved into my own place (by the ocean!) and finally gained access to a pool- it's saltwater! I loved every second of it. It just felt right and natural.
What made the experience even more special for me was it was my 4-month-old daughter's first swim too. I can't tell you guys how happy it all makes me. Such a sweet memory I'll always have.

That is so sweet!

eeeee!!

I can't make my own thread without posting too much that I don't want to reveal yet so I guess just a random shout into the happy thread would be best!

I should be getting my first silicone tail in 6 months or less!!!!

so excited, I have narrowed my search of tail-makers and I think I have found a diamond in the rough!!! (won't say until it is official) but I am very excited!! I can't wait!!

*freaks out*

I am so close to my dream tail I can almost feel it!!!

and my bestest mer-sister should be able to get her first too just a little while after! so double yay <3

I am so excited! I need to burn off some of this access energy!

Me: "do you think I'll be a pretty mermaid?"

My Husband: "you already are."

<3 <3 his response was le best and made me quite happy ^^ <3 <3

So yesterday I went to physical therapy for my sprained rib which turned out to not be sprained ribs but an intercostal issue. Anyways, I was prescribed TENS therapy which I wasn’t sure about. Basically TENS is a low intensity electric shock that stays in the upper layers of your skin instead of sinking all the way down. It kinda feels like a low vibration that causes your muscles to release and contract and releases endorphins to help with the pain.
It helped so much. I had a 20 minute session and I was relatively pain free the rest of the day. I’m going back Friday and next Wednesday. After that my therapist is going to evaluate whether or not I need a home unit. And that would be really awesome if I could get one.

That actually sounds a little pleasant!

My daughter came through surgery with flying colors. I'm grateful I have Mernetwork to come to and look around while she sleeps tonight. Such comfort in being where there are others like you.

Oh my goodness! She's so cute!!! I see the resemblance to her mermommy! Congratulations on her first swim!!! By the way, your makeup looks flawless! Is it waterproof? What brand do you use?

[PhaylennMurúch]

A bit of yay and a bit of grr, went on my first solo swim in my tail and it was fantastic. Except that even though I took the tail in 4 inches it was still sliding down my butt so I have to make a casing and elastic waist band

I've seen very few red-headed mers! I bet it looks fantastic on you even if it slides down a little!

[Mermaid Corabelle]

Thank you for your compliment Lotus_Blooming.

My makeup isn't water proof at all actually. I honestly just use a bunch of random brands. I've never been one to shell out very much for cosmetics. I was super surprised it didn't run during the swim!

I used Physician's Formula powder and blush for my face. I use Rimmel eyeliner and Cover Girl mascara. The cream eyeshadow base is Clinique and the powder was from a palette I bought from Claire's lol.

After completely freaking out that my BG check would prevent me from being hired (Misdemeanor arrest) I just got off the phone and I start training for Sephora NEXT WEEK! AAAAAHHHHHH!

Dreams do fucking come true.
