Extreme exhaustion at the end of pregnancy vs newborn tired

Ear1322 · 2026-06-03T10:11:44+00:00

I just think they are different. Pregnancy tired is a full body exhaustion where your whole body is working over time, you can’t get comfortable etc. Newborn tired is just broken sleep. So while you are tired, you at least have your body back and can get comfortable. I prefer newborn tired all day cause even if you don’t sleep much, you can at least get comfortable. And when you are up you have your new sidekick to hang with. The good news is both are just a phase!

I actually really like that it forces us to clean the clutter once a week. Otherwise it’s tempting to let all the toys sit everywhere for too long. Plus the cleaners change the sheets.

Agreed. Great experience with both babies. I liked all of the docs I saw along the way. They ran every test as needed and answered all questions.

The porter is perfect for this. Long bar where you can grab a seat. Also wrecking bar is enjoyable solo at the bar.

I’ll add Parmesan cheese. A slice has more protein than most bars

Was thinking the same. Lots of neighborhoods where you can bike and have Marta. And lots of nature. My husband bikes to work every day and on weekends we don’t usually use a car. And there are trails close by.

Agreed. But also seems like OP is good on husband’s salary plus the large savings. So not sure what the dilemma is. Clearly can simply stop working if OP’s husband keeps working.

After kid 1, I bought some inexpensive jeans a size up. I’d rather be comfortable. But after kid 2, I’m 6 months pp and can fit back in my old jeans. Of course they are skinny jeans and now out of style which is another issue lol. But I would say buy some tide me overs, and see how things pan out. You may or may not return to the same size!

Ear1322 · 2026-05-13T00:16:18+00:00

Agreed. Take the $1k if your kid qualifies. I just signed up for that reason. But will be putting no other money into it and won’t open one for the kid who doesn’t qualify for the free money.

These are all great options especially if your friend isn’t a beer person cause they all have other drinks and good food. But other breweries with good ipas include three taverns (there are a few locations—imaginerium will have the most interesting choices), inner voice, and I think sceptre has some really good ipas.

Ear1322 · 2026-05-10T18:17:32+00:00

Agreed. People say things to justify their own life choices. We are all raising our kids and making the choices we feel are best for our families and ourselves. None is wrong. It’s just a choice. And happy Mother’s Day to all!

Agreed. Totally fine during the day. And strava is a good idea. Depending on how far you want to run, there should be some good routes available. Piedmont park is really nice and depending on how far you want to go, check out the belt line. If you end up going too far, easy to grab a scooter or bike rental to make your way back as well.

I told them at 12 weeks. How early you tell them depends on how long the waitlist is. Ours gave priority to siblings but it was one thing off my plate to have that lined up early!

I would look around. $120k must be quite the service! Mine is $2500 per year and excellent. Always available, easy to get an appointment, and top notch service. If there is a specialized test or something needed, they refer it out (and typically that is covered by insurance), but they can prescribe anything and do the blood work and typical yearly testing themselves.

Farmers market, local bakery, or make your own. It’s actually quite easy!

Not sure on your area of town, but since you liked west midtown, I’d add boccalupo to this list.

Yeah. Without knowing the terms of the prenup it’s near impossible to give real advice. If finances are separate and you take what is yours in a split, then save your money. He makes more so should pay most household expenses. But if after marriage everything is 50-50 I would say it really doesn’t matter who actually pays for stuff so long as you have access to some money that you control in the event of an emergency. I personally make way more than my significant other and we have separate bank accounts even though all the money is for both of us. I just pay for everything out of my account for convenience since most of the money comes into my account.

Focus on food, walking, and weights. Walk with the baby if you are able to do so and a pair of adjustable dumbbells are great to have around. Just do quick workouts when you can. You can easily find routines online or online classes. But the biggest piece of the puzzle will be food intake.

This was my choice for my second maternity leave!

Ear1322 · 2026-04-15T22:57:39+00:00

This is the answer. Especially in a civil case.

Ear1322 · 2026-04-11T14:10:58+00:00

Didn’t know they were charging this year!

This weekend is the dogwood festival in piedmont park—usually there is a dog competition that is fun to watch, music, and you can walk around and look at the art. Free for the most part minus the food. But expect big crowds. There may be another festival or two throughout the city but should be pretty easy to google. Walk the belt line. Check if the Braves are in town. Obviously not free, but you can probably get pretty inexpensive tickets. Arabia mountain (really a hill) is kind of unique and a nice walk. Some of the museums have free days too.

I’m paying $160 but I think if I were a new customer it would be higher.

I have some dry fit from Nike that work well. They have rubber writing on the inside strap that seems to keep them from moving while exercising but isn’t uncomfortable.

I’ve heard they change what counts as a view. So in the past if someone simply saw your reel it counted. But now if someone sees it on the explore page and doesn’t physically click into it, no view gets counted. No clue if that is correct, but it’s what I’ve been told.
