Sometimes people don’t recognize that they need help precisely because they have success and resources. I was recently diagnosed with depression after a year of struggling. I didn’t even see what was going on with me as a problem and felt like I was too privileged to “complain.” I was in therapy the whole time and…

It’s mine, too. I wish my entire house was filled with it. We found a vintage Danish rocker for the nursery that had just been reupholstered for $275 after having looked at gliders at Room and Board and Land of Nod in disgust at their $1000 price tags when none were really what we wanted (although Room and Board had…

Now the thing is to get all metal diaper pails because plastic can absorb the smell. Or so they tell us to compel us to spend more $$.

Thank you!

Our neighbors / friends recommended this handyman to us! They had used him for a couple of jobs. Never again. We also took their advice on what diaper pail to get so hopefully our house doesn’t smell like shit. Haha.

Anytime!

My best wishes to your family, too. Your comment about your suppositions about what early parenthood would look like is so familiar to me. It was such a punch in the gut when he was first diagnosed in part because I didn’t realize that I had taken the assumption that he would be there for granted. He had a prior…

Yeah I am at a computer all day, so the mouse tip is helpful - thank you! I am also going to try heat woh my heating pad and see if I can find some of the gloves you mentioned. Thank you so much!

I have been taking it throughout pregnancy but will look into upping my dosage. Thank you!

Thank you!

Me too! I scoured so many stores and Craigslist to find it and got this incredible deal - it was only $250! I will never find that deal again!

No slapping, although I wanted to!  My husband was irritated with me because I was “rude” about the AC issue - I was almost 9 months pregnant and it was almost 80 degrees in my house! Of course I was a bitch!

Thank you! I will try different braces tomorrow. Have been doing epsom salt baths but normally don’t submerge my arms / hands / wrists. Will try that too!

No problem. If you order some, make sure to keep track of the extra button they come with. He’s had to use it for one of his pairs and the button on the pants version he has is also loose.

Anyone have any non-medicinal tips for managing carpal tunnel pain? I have pregnancy related carpal tunnel and Tylenol does nothing to help. The wrist braces do very little to help. It’s so bad that I can barely grasp things and can’t put much weight on my wrist - which is pretty killer when trying to hoist my giant…

My baby’s room is totally finished except hanging art and assembling the crib, which was on back order but has shipped and is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday! Praise beeeeee because I am due in 2.5 weeks! It’s exactly what I wanted when I pictured my nursery. Gender neutral with tons of bright colors! A vintage…

I think one of the theories is that she had a facelift rather than the kidney procedure. But that doesn’t explain the dummy tweets.

My husband has skinny legs, and he has a couple pairs of these from the JCrew outlet: https://factory.jcrew.com/p/mens-clothing/shorts/11shorts/11-rivington-lightweight-short/H5016?color_name=dark-flannel

Love Asheville. Can’t go wrong. Stop at Battery Park Book Exchange - a dog friendly used book store / champagne bar. It is my personal heaven.

Yes. My dad was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, and his prognosis is not good. It’s particularly crushing because I am very pregnant, my parents are several hours away, and I can’t travel to stay with them to help. To make it worse, my company is like most in the United States, and I have to use up my FMLA time…
