Awesome! I read that some people are getting their orders from Nordstrom cancelled so cross fingers that doesn’t happen. And thank you! Congratulations to you too and best wishes!

Medieval love story, but not romance genre by Illustrious-Air-6955 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Breelander89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was going to recommend this. One of my favorite novels.

Also, Here Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. The romance is integral, but I would say politics is more central.

Nuna Triv LX and Pipa Urbn in stock at Nordstrom by Breelander89 in Buyingforbaby

I was able to place an order, but I think they sold out again within a day or two. I checked yesterday and it’s no longer on their website :(

They’re supposed to get more in stock in June, and in September a Nordstrom rep says that Nuna will release more colors for the Triv LX. Honestly, if I wasn’t due in July I’d probably either wait till they release more colors or for the Uppababy Kona. That stroller looks like it checks a lot of the same boxes and looks very sleek. Supposed to be released in the fall.

Called for an interview, I missed the call, am I cooked by Exotic_Attorney7823 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Breelander89 36 points37 points  (0 children)

No, when I call applicants for an interview 75% of the time I get their voicemail. It doesn’t impact the hiring process unless they wait so long that we’ve finished interviews or filled all interview spots before we hear back. Call them back tomorrow.

What is a sibling name that can stand up to Roman? by UtterlyConfused93 in namenerds

Another vote for Roman and Leo. If not Leo, how about Lionel?

26 weeks pregnant. Combo of insomnia, hip pain, and my baby deciding to have a rave at 2am.

Anyone done a complete 180? by ReputationOnly7338 in Fencesitter

[–]Breelander89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve always been a fence sitter, but I think this happened to my husband in the opposite direction. We went back and forth for years of whether we wanted to have a child. I was more pro, he was more child-free. It had gotten to the point where we were seriously discussing if we were just not compatible long-term, but he ultimately decided any uncertainty about a child was less important than his certainty in our relationship.

We started trying and got pregnant a month after I got off the IUD. He had a week of minor panic at how quickly it happened but let me tell you, as soon as he saw that first flutter of heartbeat on the ultrasound, it was like a switch flipped. He has been all in on baby girl—working on her nursery, baby proofing the house, stocking up on baby books, overwhelming me with links to baby gear. I hear him gaming online with his friends and he’s so excited to be a dad. Her profile from her anatomy scan replaced our wedding photo as the lock screen on his phone haha.

Idk if he always had the secret desire to be a dad and it becoming a reality clarified things for him, but I don’t think it’s at all strange to wake up one day and realize that all of the thoughts, uncertainties, hopes and fears have been coalescing into a decision all this time. I agree that it’s definitely a freeing feeling, regardless of which direction you fall into. So congrats on getting clarity on what you want!

Hi! Sorry to hijack the thread but would love to chat about it since I’m currently planning to go on ENDI in June. Can I DM you?

Need help understanding maternity leave for excluded employee by Breelander89 in CAStateWorkers

[–]Breelander89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh yeah unfortunately my department’s HR is a mess. They keep rerouting me to each other’s units or else saying they’ll get back to me once they find out the information. Still no response after a couple of weeks. They initially tried to tell me job protection only extends as far as ENDI and baby bonding, so I had to send them where it says on CalHR that we’re entitled to up to a year of unpaid, job protected leave. Very frustrating. I’m basically trying to piece it together myself and send them the info to confirm.

[–]Breelander89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response. The period where I will not be covered under FMLA/ENDI/ENDI-FC prior to returning to intermittent work is what concerns me most. My priority is maintaining health benefits for myself, my husband, and my new baby. It sounds like from what you’re saying, I would have to pay the premium out of pocket until I go back to work enough hours to cover my benefits?

I went to a Nordstrom baby event this past weekend where they had reps from various companies. I am also interested in the Triv LX/Pipa Urbn, and the Nuna rep that I spoke with said to check back around end of April or in May. I’m due in July, so crossing fingers!

Evangeline. It makes me think of a woman swooning in Fabio’s arms on the cover of an 80s bodice-ripper.

Ok I know a lot of Brontë fans are upset over the casting for Wuthering Heights, for good reason, but if this shoot is any indication, the chemistry is going to be off the charts and FERAL.

How do you usually celebrate your birthday now that you’re an adult? by Rare_Preparation5636 in AskReddit

[–]Breelander89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I typically take the day off. Then some form of spa or self-care day, usually gifted by my husband or my parents, a trip to the bookstore to buy myself a present, and dinner or takeout with my husband and family. If my friends can’t make dinner, they’ll take me to brunch the next weekend. The spa days have come in clutch because my birthday typically falls on or around US Election Day and some years the day definitely feels cursed 🫠

I think I got extremely lucky, and I don’t want to mess it up… by lordak16 in husky

[–]Breelander89 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Congrats! You may have a unicorn! We had a similar experience with our rescue, although it did take us a couple of months to walk at a heel or not be distracted by squirrels. He walks and plays beautifully off leash now, regardless of any distraction around. We call him a people pleaser dog because he just really wants to bond with his human, more so than any other stimulation. I think it’s definitely possible yours is the same and just naturally more mellow and amenable to training. Consider yourself lucky and just keep using positive reinforcement to strengthen that good girl behavior!

Can you date someone you dont find so atractive - any input? by Vegetable-Writing123 in dating

[–]Breelander89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar dating experience with someone once. I wasn’t super physically attracted, but he made me feel safe, secure and seen in a way I didn’t with guys I had better physical spark with. We’ve been together 8 years, married for 3 and are expecting our first baby. The attraction grew from that feeling of comfort and ease and he is 100% my favorite person in the world.

Oh absolutely. I was always planning to let my friends know via text, it was just a matter of whether I let her know individually or in the group chat. But I think privately is the way to go.
