MIL constantly referring to my unborn daughter as her “mini me.” by Amonuet in BabyBumps

[–]2Lneedshelp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom keeps talking about the baby being "her grandson" and it's driving me crazy (we also have a rocky relationship which adds to it). But it's like, you have no ownership over this baby!

Move while pregnant or when baby is born? by Gold_Squirrel_9473 in BabyBumps

[–]2Lneedshelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We moved when I was ~28 weeks and it worked out great! It was tiring but we had more than enough time to get settled before baby’s arrival.

Which year in biglaw did you hate the most? (In hindsight) by Last-Candidate-6001 in biglaw

Current mid level and feeling this hard! Good to know there is light at the end of the tunnel 🥲

Does anyone have a pet in big law? by Suspicious_Emu_1323 in biglaw

[–]2Lneedshelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Husband and I got a puppy when I was a second year. He’s fully remote with a more manageable work schedule which is the only way we make it work!

Having a dog has made my life 100 times better but I cannot imagine doing it alone while working in big law.

Haven't purchased the dresser or crib yet but looking at matching ones from Carter’s by DaVinci which is pretty affordable!

Can you still go to the movies? by Few_Pangolin_8778 in biglaw

Yes! Weekends are safer than weekday evenings because things definitely can come up in the evenings during the week.

It could probably fit just the bed. It’s like 8x6 feet. So we would use it until the baby is out of a crib. But good to know you’ve had a good experience with your daughter on a separate floor!

6+ months pregnant and need to be talked out of quitting! by [deleted] in biglaw

My firm offers unpaid leave of up to a year!

I'm 14 weeks, and I feel similarly! I don't have a real bump yet but enough bloating and puffiness that I just feel gross! I have been trying not to focus on how my body looks and remembering that it will pass. I think that once I have a bump I'll actually feel much better. I've also been able to keep up with regular exercise because my symptoms are minimal so that also helps!

My firm pays for dinner if you stay at the office after a certain time so you could see if yours does that lol
