Yeah, it wasn’t until I’d pushed him out that everyone in the delivery room, including my OB that I’d been seeing the entire time, found out how big he was. I was told 8, maaaaaybe 9 pounds. And then at his one month check out we found out he’d grown 3 more pounds and 2 inches. So basically what I’m saying is I…

I don’t think it’s crazy if you really love it. I splurged on some onesies that I loved, bought them in 0-3 months because i KNEW better than to buy newborn as my first was 8lb at birth and we barely got any wear out of her newborn clothes... only to have a surprise monster baby that was 10lb 6oz at birth. Needless to…
Yay for you being so far along! I’m three weeks postpartum and every day I’m so glad I’m not still pregnant, I reeeeeally don’t like being pregnant. With my first we got a boba wrap, so we still have that one which we used for a good long time before progressing to an Onya outback carrier when she was bigger and we…
I went to Japan last year and hands down the best thing we did was rent a personal wifi that you take around with you. We rented at the airport and dropped it off there when we were done, and it was really convenient. The charge lasted for a pretty long time. We rented a car and could charge in there when we needed…
Because I’m obsessed with Dolly and have read her autobiography.... *cough* several times *cough*... I know she also sleeps in her wigs. Her reasoning is something like if her house burns down and she is out in her front yard her fans wont be disappointed to see what she looks like without her wigs. And her makeup,…
Okay, since I guess the way I worded this before was confusing I’m going to try again. I’m pregnant and something my OB said made me realize she may or may not be pro-choice and I worry about what that might mean for the rest of my pregnancy and birth process going forward. I want to bring it up, but I’m dealing with…
Thank you, yes, you’re right. I don’t need someone completely politically where I am, but it’s my health. This past appointment was just me and my toddler in the room, but next time my husband should be there so maybe I can figure out with him how to bring it up.
Yes, its the awkwardness of it that I’m having problems with I think. Like, I feel like on some level this is conditioning of “don’t talk about it, you don’t talk about politics”, which is absurd, I was way bolder pre-baby 1 and never worried about talking politics but now the awkwardness makes my skin crawl and I…
I’m not worried about that particular test, it’s something that I understand the risk factor is low and it’s something that would show up on the next ultrasound. It’s more that the way she said it (hard to convey tone and stuff writing it out, you know?) made me wonder if she was pro-choice at all, which was something…
Looking for some advice: So I used to be a far more assertive person, but after my first kid was born, I developed postpartum anxiety and that has changed somewhat. Now I’m pregnant with my second, 16 weeks, and at my last ob appt my ob said something that was somewhat innocuous but the way it was said kind of…
WOW that’s gorgeous!!
I honestly do enjoy a good dose of random history, and this is absolutely a part of history I’ve never delved in to. You’ve inspired me to read up on the Lines of Torres. And the Duke of Wellington. Just glancing his wiki page now...Thanks for sharing!
LOL! No way, lay it on me! I hold zero opinions on barely visible remains of fortifications so tell me more
Wine with a view! How cool is that! Thanks for the rec! I’d seen the Timeout Market pop up a few times, what’s it like there?

Thank you!!!
HA!!! Exactly! You couldn’t ask for a better sign!
