I’m being induced on Monday!!! Now soliciting all last-minute tips\reassurance\tricks\things you wish you knew!

I had no issues with my removal, and I’m a HUGE wuss. 

A wedding she sure as shit didn’t want the other women at anyway- she just wanted the cameras. Just ugh ugh ugh.

Right? Her persecution complex was weird. I felt like yelling, “Girl, you are not important enough for people to be trying to take you down!” Also, if you’re going to whine about people being mean to you, you have to be MUCH more subtle about being a bitch to them to start with.

I haven’t even had the baby yet! :)

Hi Kender! Glad to hear your doing well, and the little one is kicking away. I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday and it looks like I’ll be induced on the 19th! 

It seems like taking baby would make the trip difficult for everyone, no? The trip would be to Peru, so I would imagine altitude might cause problems for her. And one of us would always have to miss out and stay back at the hotel with her. I doubt an 11 month old is up to climbing Machu Pichu. 

I so love things like this, just as a reminder that there is still good in the world!

It’s all turning out to be a moot point, because the only people we would be comfortable leaving her with are my parents- who are 70ish and have said that they love us, but are not physically up to a task that big. I just don’t want my in-laws to judge them for that, or be disappointed in or judge me, and I wanted to…

This this this!!! What really tipped it for me is the idea of her knowing who her parents are, knowing that we’re the safe and stable presence in her life, and her calling out for us for DAYS, not being able to understand we’ll be back. That just broke me.

My husband is wonderful, and doesn’t want to go if I’m not comfortable. I’m just trying to get a sense of whether or not my concern that I won’t be ready is reasonable. 

I’m so glad I caught this early! I need perspective...

Well, her due date is the 25th of August (holy CRAP that’s close!), so if I could pick any day I think I’d pick the Friday before. Out of curiosity, why are you hoping to avoid being induced? I’ve seen a bunch of women who really want to avoid it, and it makes me wonder if there’s something I’m missing about the…

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me their input two weeks ago about daycare options for my little one, and I’m happy to say we got it settled! We were deciding between a cheaper-but-probably-safe option (which I hadn’t toured yet) or an amazing and expensive all the bells and whistles place. I toured the cheaper…

I’m so glad your pregnancy continues apace, Kender! I’m with you on the constant kicking\moving\jiggling. I had been panicking about this weird sort of shuddering that mine does sometimes, and the nurse I saw on my last few visits didn’t know what it was, but this past check-up I got to see my actual OB-GYN and she…

I recommend reading https://www.askamanager.org/. 1.) She gives GREAT, very honest advice, and 2.) reading through the archives of letters is endlessly entertaining and informative.

Both Lala and Katie (Katie especially) can be awful, awful people, but I was really irritated by Billie attributing their awfulness to transphobia. I get why someone who’s experienced as much bigotry as Billie surely has would be particularly sensitive, but I don’t believe that had anything to do with why they didn’t…

I don’t care quuuuuuuite enough to look it up and be sure, but wasn’t he\isn’t he actually a VP at Bravo? I feel like I remember that being true, and this whole hosting thing came after. Given that I would wager most of us watch at least some Bravo programming, I wouldn’t say he’s without any talents at all.

Nene’s more like a louder version of LVP than she is like Kenya.

What an unfortunate lot in life, to look so similar to Sarah Palin.
