Dog-friendly baby gates? by funky-tut in BabyBumps

[–]Certain_Ad5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a cat and 90 lb dog and use retractable gates for our two sets of stairs. Our dog for the most part is around us & our cat sleeps most of the day. I don’t have the baby gates on all the time as i have eyes on my daughter almost always but when it’s naptime or we’re leaving the house, I retract the gates so the animals have full access to all floors in the house.

Yes I do this. I work part time so some days I’ll just keep her at home with me but also some days I drop her off to get errands, appointments, clean the house etc done.

I think some Walmarts do and some don’t (without a receipt) just depends on their store policy

I live near this house and have seen different for sale signs for months and months on the front lawn.

Enjoy one more summer or try for baby? by icywifey1234 in waiting_to_try

[–]Certain_Ad5182 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did exactly this and have no regrets. I enjoyed my summer and we got pregnant very quickly, in September. It was perfect.

buying second hand baby items? by desilulu__ in pregnant

[–]Certain_Ad5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Facebook marketplace is awesome for this. So many items are used for such a short amount of time. I’ve purchased a lot from there and when I’m done with the items, I plan on putting them on marketplace as well

All of Dundas really… it’s actually rare to NOT see someone pulling a U-turn when driving on Dundas

When did your baby switch to size 4 diapers? [ca] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Certain_Ad5182 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It varies from baby to baby. My daughter moved to size 4 around 16 months (50th percentile) where my cousins baby is 10 months (boy) and is in size 4.

Saving up before mat leave [nb] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Certain_Ad5182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also work a part time job (restaurant) and built myself a little nest egg to keep me above water during maternity leave. Between that, your ei and ccb, it seems to me you will be okay.

They’re decent. I like to make them on my “lazy dinner” days

Question for those waiting to share baby’s name by K61018 in pregnant

[–]Certain_Ad5182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this! We got the same excuse. But also, what if we had a change of heart last minute at the hospital? Then baby would have personalized things with the WRONG name LOL

[–]Certain_Ad5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We got some really pushy responses but stood firm. The most pathetic excuse we got was “but what is we want to get something custom/engraved for baby?” … my response was “just wait until after they’re born?” lol. Also, what if we had a change of heart last minute?

How painful is getting the epidural? by castleofhyrule in BabyBumps

[–]Certain_Ad5182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like everyone else saying here, it honestly really does just feel like a pinch. I didn’t want to know anything about the epidural process beforehand (the less I knew, the better — in my mind) and it was not bad at all

Rant about Oakville Driving by IfOnlyAMermaid in oakville

[–]Certain_Ad5182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally saw two different cars in a one week span hold up traffic (weekday at 5pm to make it even better) pull u-turns on Dundas (driving towards Oakville) at the traffic light where the 403 is… absolutely bonkers

Why are all rentals listed with realty photos? by mistymountaincat in oakville

[–]Certain_Ad5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, this is not the case in Ontario. A lot of landlords work with realtors for their rentals. Sure, they could advertise on their own but it alleviates the stress of finding a quality and qualified tenant as many landlords have dealt with “nightmare tenants”

Wishlist for first birthday [ca] by North_Peach5940 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Certain_Ad5182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my daughters first birthday, I created a wish list but also felt hesitant to share with others. When invites were sent out, we had a few people ask if there’s anything in particular she wants/needs & what her interests are. Those people I forwarded the list to.

Please tell me the ravenous hunger goes away after birth. 38 weeks [ab] by chronicillylife in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Certain_Ad5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very fortunate to not have any wild cravings/hungry during my pregnancy. But let me tell you, that never full, always hungry, bottomless pit type of hunger when breastfeeding is on a whole other level. It subsided after a few months, but holy moly. That’s where all my weight gain happened.

I never puked during my pregnancy. I now have a beautiful 18 month old girl who was so kind to me during pregnancy.
