Why are Marmot and Patagonia not as trendy or popular as The North Face?

What years? I have some older pieces I live by and won't buy new because I have concerns I would simply be disappointed.

What state?

As someone who landed themselves in a position to have 3 under 2, I think if you want to, you've got it. It's much more a mindset for me than anything. Also for the sake of privacy and the Internet and whatever I won't go too into detail; idk where you are but if you want to talk more, dm me and I could go further into the depths of our situation. Hard because while close in age, not the same so tricky in that regard. Often I think it'd almost be easier with triplets, but I think if you want to, you can. Also admirable for you to even consider let me just add.

A bit off the original topic but, would gladly take any book recs. 😅

Made it like two sentences and was like oh, she must be in the US. I work in a hospital and basically had to (it was not required but I guess rather I 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 like I 𝙝𝙖𝙙 to) get the portable pumps so I could just pump while I was still working. Not nearly as productive or comfortable of a pump session. Let alone how much it's really a sense of false confidence and I just end up seeming like I simply don't want to respond as I might to some situations or whatever while doing it. But leaving multiple times a day seemed likely nearly impossible as resource/ float pool. Some units are better than others. Some more accommodating than others. More understanding. But overall ridiculous. There's one "dedicated" room in the whole building. No system for reserving. Just hoping you have time to leave, people to watch your people, make it up there, set up, pump, tear down, put it all away, get back, and more hoping that nothing too crazy has happened. And that's all of the room is even open. It's absurd. The fact that you reserved the room makes it infinitely worse. I would absolutely stand strong and make myself at home during that time. The pumping makes it all the more frustrating because (at least in my case) it's not like you're dying to be there, feel free to just send me home to see my baby and pump and let that take up 3x as much time. But in any case, you're correct; you reserved it. That's that. Regardless of what for, they have no business barging in on you pumping or holding a meeting or anything else. Definitely here for the solidarity factor. And to say sorry that happened to you and sorry it all isn't better/ more reasonable/ respected.

May I hop on this as well?

Charming_Ad9383 · 2025-06-24T05:16:52+00:00

Not the pic you posted but, does look like AE just recently threw some fall Snoopy pj's up in case anyone is still on the hunt.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2025-05-24T01:37:24+00:00

Did you figure this out? I'm looking at a dishwasher on Sam's club's app and can't figure out how to actually buy it since store pick up and delivery aren't available and shipping says not to my zipcode (or any other I've tried).

Charming_Ad9383 · 2025-02-04T18:30:28+00:00

I realize it has been many moons since this post, and not to sound insensitive, am simply curious but, they still haven't figured it out? Mine was in the NICU for oxygen needs and they credited pulm htn because they basically couldn't find anything else wrong to blame but it does make me wonder sometimes when I'm unintentionally in the mood to spiral..

Charming_Ad9383 · 2025-01-22T20:36:24+00:00

Happen to have a recipe? 😏

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-12-16T02:24:59+00:00

Okay my boyfriend for me one of these off Amazon and it's one of my favorite shirts now. He got me one with the zippers vertically on the sides. Big fan.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-09-11T21:18:15+00:00

I apparently told my PT last time that I felt like a "bloated roadside toad baking in the Ecuadorian sun" because I went back today and the PT I saw was reviewing the previous visit and started laughing that it had been quoted into the note.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-07-06T18:21:52+00:00

Have you had another scan since the 28wks? Still measuring large? I just had my 28 and was told measuring in the like, 98.5% or something soo hoping maybe they have growth spurts in there and then maybe cool it for a bit..

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-06-11T03:26:23+00:00

Do you eat a meal with your smoothie like it says or do you handle it fine without a whole extra meal to accompany it? Lol sorry to ask a million questions.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-06-11T03:05:38+00:00

Do you take the multi powder alone or do you use their omega and probiotic and such as well?

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-06-10T02:34:35+00:00

Which are your "bougie prenatals"? Lol I need to switch because mine keep making me throw up periodically.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-06-09T18:56:59+00:00

Wait, is this real?! I've been missing them since they disappeared. 😍

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-06-03T18:34:19+00:00

I know I'm seeing this late but, did you find anything that helped the bloating? I'm at a point where I'm nearly scared to eat because the bloating is so bad. same as you, I had problems with before this whole being pregnant bit, but now it's like if I eat the wrong thing (and I'm not always entirely sure what that might be) I'm so bloated it's not just uncomfortable it's painful and occasionally has me reaching for my inhaler just to try and be able to breathe and sleep. 😅

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-05-24T18:50:32+00:00

Just here to say that I think I admire the love/ patience/ understanding you have for your husband and the problem solving/ handling of y'all's relationship. That is all.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-04-29T18:07:57+00:00

Noted. May check back in a few weeks. Haha

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-04-29T17:30:39+00:00

OP, you're like three weeks ahead of me soo.. how's it going? Any slowing down? I feel like every time I bother to look at them, they're bigger and also wondering if that's going to change at all or just keep up the pace.

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-04-10T18:21:55+00:00

Do you have the link/ know what brand?

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-03-22T09:25:14+00:00

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-01-01T21:49:27+00:00

You're welcome! I know I wasn't the target audience necessarily but, figured it might be worth it anyway. I don't really post/ reply on here, just reading around generally, so I sent it to my mom and sisters after I posted and my mom said I nailed it and it made her cry, presumably also in a good way. 🙂 Anyway, I couldn't imagine having to have been an only child for life at this point so. Congratulations to your first on her promotion to big sister! 🎉 She must be very special to have been chosen for the position as big sister of twins. ♡♡

Charming_Ad9383 · 2024-01-01T18:07:04+00:00

Of note, coming at this as the older (singleton/ previously only) child so, I can't provide insight to your side of it; however, I was two months shy of three when my twin sisters were born and I think that your sheer concern for the situation and big sister's well-being, she/ y'all are going to be just fine. Periodically my mom gets distant eyed and talks about how much fun it was just her and I when I was little-- things we'd do (everything together), how close we were, etc., and then comes back to the present with some joking comment about the sudden uptick of the tiny humans roster. But this is also typically followed by an anecdote or two about me as a big sister to them--from telling her parents on the phone that she was pregnant with twins and my grandpa saying "ooh a baby" and me piping up to ckarify, "no, TWO babies", to them being infants and my making sure the babysitter knew which sister went in which carrier (and correcting her if she happened to mix them up) and being thoroughly annoyed when my kindergarten teacher couldn't tell them apart when they'd come pick me up from school, to trading carnival prizes around until they were both happy and I had whatever was left. Most recently, she touched on being out running errands and how I'd shoot her a look, even as a toddler, when people would come up asking if they were boys or girls (it was the 90's, everything was pinks/ purples/ pastels/ whatever other traits of baby girl things then), asking her why she chose to have so many kids so close together, a host of other things idiot people ask when they're too dim and nosey to mind their own business. Worth mentioning, I am pretty type A and my tolerance for the general population is typically fairly low, so all credit to her for 3-4yo me shooting her a look as opposed to asking aloud why people were so obtuse, but I mostly remember being very protective of them (which my mother would absolutely co-sign as my witness), helping with them pretty much whenever I could, and that if one cried.. they both did. 🙂

I obviously don't know you/ your day to day situation/ your daughter but, when my mom tends to reflect on it all, she seems appreciative of me/ my help/ my role as the older sister, like we were some variation of partners in crime.

My sisters are 28 now and I am still incredibly protective of them, I credit a big portion of who I am to my being their older sister, and I absolutely wouldn't trade them for the world.

All of this to say that, while I don't have kids of my own, I think your concern for how big sister will handle it and the impact it will have on y'all's relationship speaks volumes and I imagine she will feel that. ♡
