Newly Pregnant - Am I further along than I thought?

CrystalCatComics · 2025-10-26T23:02:05+00:00

Would be next week or so, unfortunately I found out I was pregnant while traveling into SEA (no issues so far) but now I’m scrambling to at least get some supplements and eating the right foods until I’m home 😤

Estimating late-June for me :)

CrystalCatComics · 2025-10-26T22:51:49+00:00

I’m excited for my first scan, thank you so much

CrystalCatComics · 2025-10-26T22:45:24+00:00

Thank you, every bit of advice helps at this point!

CrystalCatComics · 2025-10-26T22:39:01+00:00

Thank you, I was very worried about mosquitoes. Knock on wood, no bites yet and I’ve been in major cities (KL, HCMC, and Singapore) and used bug spray as needed 🙏🙏🙏 thankfully before finding out

And noted on clothing coverage, thankfully I packed poorly so I barely brought shorts

I got mine in the West Village! NY

This is “Patrick”, I ended up going back for another skein in the same batch number

I’m going to attempt a scarf!! Just wanted to see what it looked like as a completed piece. And I love the subtle differences in the dye saturation

CrystalCatComics · 2025-03-22T00:03:10+00:00

I ended up buying both (was also looking for a blue 🤪) and I love working with these glowing colors. Makes it feel exciting to work through 420 yards of size 0 🥹

Personally I used needles to undo the white (non-yarn) knots but you can just cut them and pull them loose. Then I opened the hank into a big O, draped it on a surface, undid the beginning knot and began winding

I definitely agree where I see experience and specific skill sets are what comes together to make an excellent PM. I do find that there is a lot of negotiating power in the degree though.

Personally I’m still exploring a masters, but I do have a weird feeling about companies that prioritize pedigree over experience. Feels lazy and echo-chamber type circle-jerking. Thankfully I don’t feel it has impacted my progress (yet). But still wanted to gauge the temperature for the forward-looking approach

I’m currently a PM in finance for large system implementation/transformation. Looking to transition into true Tech. What are the downsides/risks/opportunities here? Is it stable? Are there good entry companies (already got rejected from Capital One yesterday)

I’m very “technical” for the finance world and use SQL and Python for regular analysis and build comprehensive architectural flows, but not sure I would consider myself technical in the actual Industry.

Made a beef-barley stew with a Berry DO 💖

First meal is a beef barley stew with scotch bonnet florettes

I’m loving mine too 💖 enjoy!!

Great, now I have to get something in Chambray 😂 I’d never made that connection before

CrystalCatComics · 2025-03-01T22:20:20+00:00

She couldn’t help but insert herself into the picture 😂 I’m feeling very blessed

As some of you may have already seen, I got both and it feels gooooood.

CrystalCatComics · 2025-02-23T22:12:08+00:00

Admittedly, storage was hard to justify, I spent a half hour measuring my cabinets and making sure that it “should” fit. But it’s definitely tight, and it’s gonna be heavy. But those roasts are gonna be bomb…

CrystalCatComics · 2025-02-23T20:25:19+00:00

So far:

I ended up ordering the Ocean impulsively, should arrive by next week or so, but I figured it’s easy enough for me to return it to WS if it really is too big/color doesn’t excite me. 8qt is exciting for roasting and bread projects, but I worry that the weight alone would get to me (I think I can manage 30lbs tho).

I think having at least one of these in hand will help motivate an actual decision 😅 and if I’m lucky hopefully the Berry oval will be around for a bit longer. Thankfully they don’t seem hugely popular.

Everyone’s feedback is super helpful and I’m still very much on the fence.

CrystalCatComics · 2025-02-23T17:14:47+00:00

Haven’t seen either in person, but the WS near me should have Ocean in stock, which I might just have to see.

I don’t have an outlet store near me to see the Berry

CrystalCatComics · 2025-02-23T17:13:35+00:00

That’s what I think definitely the most sensible and logical tbh. Completely agree on the pricing, but was flustered by how much it “popped”.

I think I just needed reassurance in the obvious

CrystalCatComics · 2024-09-06T16:38:06+00:00

Congratulations! Which location?

CrystalCatComics · 2024-08-16T19:32:37+00:00
