A mom from Illinois who told her husband she wanted to start trying for their third baby wasn't expecting his response.
Jessica Haizman (@jessicahaizman) posted a reel on Instagram of herself curled up in bed during her last pregnancy, holding a lime Popsicle, looking teary-eyed and utterly wiped out.
It turns out her husband sent her the video to remind her of the challenges she faced during pregnancy.

When she received the video, Haizman told Newsweek she laughed and laughed.
"Despite being incredibly nauseous and having difficult pregnancies, I would do it again and again and again," she said. "My husband knows this, and he knows that the nine months were worth our incredible children."
In the first trimester of her second pregnancy, Haizman recalled how she lost 15 pounds as she couldn't keep food or water down.
"My husband would buy me lime Popsicles because the citrus flavor would curb my nausea and allow me to actually consume something without throwing it up," she told Newsweek.
That moment, caught on camera, was during one of her lowest points. "I was... feeling exhausted and really overwhelmed because I was so tired and sick," she said. "I couldn't keep up with my toddler and that made my mom guilt soar."
The nausea started at the four-week mark and lasted until the day Haizman gave birth. Other than a sore back and heavy pelvis, she told Newsweek that she didn't suffer with some of the other common symptoms of pregnancy.
"The most difficult part of my pregnancy was the all-encompassing nausea that prevented me from eating and enjoying food for the entire nine months," she said.
So when her husband sent her that video in response to her baby number three proposal, it was both a funny and honest reminder of what she'd gone through.
Thankfully, after nine long months, Haizman was able to enjoy her food again. "My husband made me eggs and breakfast sausage with sourdough toast," she said. "I vividly remember how good it tasted, not only because I had just given birth, but because it's the first meal in nine months that I actually enjoyed."
Haizman's reel has been viewed over 18 million times on Instagram and received over 2,800 comments, where many other fellow moms chimed in with similar experiences.
"Nausea and watermelon only diet. Still want a second," one user shared.
"God gave us the gift of forgetting as mothers. We remember as soon as we see those pink lines," another laughed.
Haizman told Newsweek that many other moms related to her clip. "I think it really paints the picture of how hard pregnancy is," she said. "Whether you experience nausea or just the fatigue, it's truly impossible to understand what emotions women experience."
As for baby number three? It's not off the table. "My husband is fully convinced that we will have a third child," Haizman told Newsweek. "We're definitely not quite ready yet because of the toll it's taken on my body [so] I'm using this time to focus on my health and replenish everything before getting pregnant for a third time."

How to Choose the Right Tattoo Studio: A Complete Guide
Getting a tattoo is a significant decision that will stay with you for life. Whether it's your first piece or an addition to your collection, selecting the right studio can make the difference between a masterpiece and a regrettable experience. The process involves more than just picking a design—it requires careful research to find skilled tattoo artists who prioritize safety and quality. Many people make the mistake of choosing a studio based solely on price or convenience. However, when it comes to permanent body art, cutting corners can lead to poor results, infections, or worse. This guide will help you navigate the selection process and find a safe tattoo studio that meets your needs. Start by compiling a list of potential studios near you. If you're in Ontario, for example, Hamilton tattoo studios offer diverse styles and experienced artists worth considering. Use online directories, social media platforms, and local recommendations to create your initial list. Look for studios with strong online presences and positive reviews. Pay attention to recent feedback from clients, as this reflects current standards and service quality. Studios that regularly post fresh work on Instagram or Facebook typically demonstrate active engagement with their craft. A safe tattoo studio should be your non-negotiable requirement. Visit potential studios in person to assess their cleanliness standards. The workspace should be spotless, with artists using disposable needles, fresh ink cups, and sterile equipment for each client. Check that the studio holds proper licensing and health department certifications. These should be visibly displayed. Ask about their sterilization procedures—professional studios use autoclaves to sterilize reusable equipment and follow strict hygiene protocols. Artists should wear fresh gloves throughout the process and change them frequently. The tattoo area should be cleaned and prepared properly, and aftercare instructions should be provided in writing. Skilled tattoo artists will proudly showcase their work through comprehensive portfolios. Review these carefully, looking for consistency in line work, shading, and overall execution. Each artist typically specializes in certain styles, whether traditional, realism, watercolor, or geometric designs. Don't be afraid to ask to see healed tattoos alongside fresh ones. Healing reveals the true quality of work—colors should remain vibrant, lines should stay crisp, and details should remain clear after the initial healing period. The consultation process reveals much about a studio's professionalism. Quality artists will discuss your ideas thoroughly, offer suggestions for improvement, and explain the tattooing process clearly. They should answer your questions patiently and provide realistic timelines for completion. Professional studios require deposits and maintain organized booking systems. They should also be transparent about pricing and willing to provide written estimates for larger pieces. Inquire about each artist's experience level and training background. Established artists often have apprenticeship histories or formal training they're willing to discuss. While newer artists can produce excellent work, ensure they're working under proper supervision and have completed adequate training. Ask how long the studio has been operating and whether artists have experience with your desired style or size of tattoo. Some techniques require specialized skills that not all artists possess. After conducting your research, trust your gut feeling about the studio and artist. You should feel comfortable and confident in their abilities. If anything feels off during your consultation—whether it's cleanliness concerns, communication issues, or pressure tactics—consider other options. Once you've found a safe tattoo studio with skilled tattoo artists who meet your criteria, you're ready to move forward. Remember that quality work requires investment, both financially and time-wise. Rushing the selection process or choosing based solely on price often leads to disappointment. Take time to properly research your options, visit studios in person, and ask detailed questions. Your future self will thank you for choosing carefully and prioritizing quality over convenience. The right studio will provide not just a beautiful tattoo, but a positive experience that makes the permanent addition to your body something you'll treasure for years to come. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Former Georgia Bulldog has successful open-heart surgery
Former Georgia Bulldogs tight end Pearce Spurlin III was forced into medical retirement due to a heart condition. That condition led to him recently having open heart surgery at Cleveland Clinic. Fortunately, the surgery was a success, according to his Instagram. "I owe everything to the Lord for watching over me and to my incredible doctors here at the Cleveland Clinic. I would also like to thank everyone who has reached out and prayed for me," Spurlin wrote. "To my family — I love you all so much. I am deeply grateful to have been able to get my heart fixed, knowing that there are people out there fighting the same battle who aren't able to do anything about it." Spurlin was a former four-star tight end from South Walton High School, ranked as the No. 5 tight end in the nation. He was from the class of 2023, but he committed to play for Georgia on Sept. 30, 2020. As a freshman in 2023, he played as a reserve tight end, catching three passes for 60 yards, including a 31-yarder against Florida State in the Orange Bowl. Unfortunately, he was forced to medically retire due to his heart condition in March 2024. Even after his retirement, Kirby Smart and Georgia are keeping him on scholarship. "We care deeply for Pearce and he will remain on scholarship and part of our program," Kirby Smart said in a statement. "Our tight ends coach Todd Hartley and our other tight ends hate for a person and a player like Pearce to not be a part of their room, and they will continue to provide him with the support he needs as he goes through this transition."

Warning Issued After State Sees First Brain-Eating Amoeba Case in 3 Years
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After a rare brain infection was confirmed in a Missouri resident, health officials warned recreationists across the state to assume the brain-eating amoeba that caused the infection is present in any warm freshwater they visit. Newsweek reached out to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services via email for comment. Why It Matters The infection comes as Jaysen Carr, a 12-year-old boy from South Carolina, died on July 18 after being exposed to Naegleria fowleri while swimming in Lake Murray. The incident has drawn attention to the dangers of this rare but deadly amoeba that thrives in warm freshwater during the summer. Missouri health officials confirmed the same infection has landed a Missourian in intensive care, with the source of exposure currently under investigation. What To Know Missouri health officials made the announcement on Facebook earlier this week. "We have confirmed a rare brain infection in a Missourian caused by an ameba (also spelled amoeba) called Naegleria fowleri. The infection is known as primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) - it is not contagious, but it is deadly. The patient is being treated in the ICU," the post said. Using the direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) staining technique, this photomicrograph depicts the histopathologic characteristics associated with a case of amebic meningoencephalitis due to Naegleria fowleri parasites. Using the direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) staining technique, this photomicrograph depicts the histopathologic characteristics associated with a case of amebic meningoencephalitis due to Naegleria fowleri parasites. Smith Collection/Gado/Getty Images/Getty It is the first such infection in three years for Missouri. Between 1962 and 2024, there have been 167 reported cases of PAM in the United States, two of which occurred in Missouri. One was in 1987 and another in 2022. The infection is almost always fatal, and only four people in the U.S. have survived the infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said. An investigation has been launched into the source of exposure for the Missouri patient, but health officials said "preliminary information implies the patient may have been participating in water activities at the Lake of the Ozarks days before becoming ill." "Recreational water users should assume that Naegleria fowleri is present in any warm freshwater across the U.S.; however, infection remains extremely rare," the post said. People can reduce their risk of infection by taking several precautions, including holding their nose shut or using nose clips, keeping their head above water, avoiding water activities when water temperatures are higher, and avoiding digging in sediment. Early symptoms of the infection include headache, fever, nausea, and vomiting. It progresses rapidly and usually causes a coma or death after five days, the CDC said. Most people die within 18 days of symptoms beginning. What People Are Saying Missouri Department of Health & Senior Services in a post on Facebook: "Although rare, infection can occur when water containing Naegleria fowleri enters through the nose from freshwater. The ameba travels up the nose to the brain where it destroys brain tissue. It is important to remember that this infection isn't contagious and can't be contracted by swallowing water." The CDC's webpage about the infection: "Brain infections caused by Naegleria fowleri usually occur after someone goes swimming or diving in a lake, river, or other fresh water during summer months. Infections often happen when it's been hot for long periods, resulting in higher water temperatures and lower water levels. A few infections have occurred when people used tap water that contained Naegleria fowleri to rinse their sinuses or cleanse their nasal passages." What Happens Next Since the amoeba thrives in freshwater with temperatures between 80 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit, the rare infections could become more common as climate change warms the environment. People recreating in warm freshwater across the U.S. should take accurate precautions.
