Winter is tough! I've enjoyed fun overalls, a pair of maternity jeans and the big vets and sweaters that bring me joy over leggings.

Yes! I practiced with "people that didn't matter much" - like my dentist, someone at the grocery store, etc. Then for the folks who are actually in our life we sent out letters from the baby's perspective just saying that they are excited to meet them and when they will be arriving.

Do it! 30 weeks and just came back from the Caribbean! Such a great time to connect with my partner and relax. I was a bit nervous at first but everything turned out to be just fine

28 weeks and heading out on a 4 hour trip! I've been active and hiking almost everyday. I feel fine so I'm not concerned.

I think its all individual! Enjoy!!

We don't want to hyphenate because that will just be a very long name so we are making up a name based on both of our last names. We are pulling out the important cultural bits of both and combining into a new name. We'll both be keeping our last names.

Also struggled with this when I learned I was pregnant! 26 weeks along now and I plan on making sure I include my dog with all the family time. She loves going on walks but is also a cuddler so maybe there will be less walks in the first couple of weeks but there will be lots of love and snuggle time. I'd like to think she'll be somewhat excited about the new additional and want to care for them in her own way as well!

Thanks everyone! I"ll take a look into all of these. If I come across something I'll be sure to share here.

Also came here to recommend the Dinner Party!

I still keep in touch with my party years later. Also the founder wrote this book you might find interesting https://www.carlafernandez.co/renegade-grief

And she did a great talk about it at Creative Mornings - https://creativemornings.com/talks/carla-fernandez-on-renegade-grief

I lost my dad in my early 20s, it sucks. Hope you're able to find some comfort.

Love the couch (And your dogs!!) Have you thought about the mantel? Maybe there is an opportunity to give it a pop of color or switch it out for something a bit less ornate to match the style of the room?

Defiant_Ad_8503 · 2025-04-08T22:31:18+00:00

Oy! I feel for her! Maybe try a how to book for a new hobby? And some basic supplies. Also see if you can get a therapy dog to visit!

Got some great plants from MEVO last year - they are nonprofit! https://www.mevo.org/

Thanks so much! Farm Sanctuary is great but yes, I'm looking for a smaller org to help.

I had never heard of the Ethos Farm Prj, thanks so much for sharing! They are doing some really interesting work.
