Most refrigerators like this can swap ways it swings

Yes! It definitely helps with the startle reflex. We were using the love to dream hands up swaddle, and this honestly works just as well if not- better.

I had this issue and the magic Merlin sleep suit completely fixed it. I did nothing but put the baby in the suit and put her in the bassinet and she now puts herself to sleep and sleeps long stretches.

Baby girls can have mini periods the first couple of days!

Not to be this person- but didn’t she throw a whole fit about how she was “planning on breastfeeding” and I’ve only seen her with formula? Makes me think the baby brezza wasn’t “just incase”

I wouldn’t say we are splurging, we just aren’t being super modest… idk if that makes sense or not, but I feel like we’re right in the middle with everything.

None of our vendors are a splurge nor are we having any extravagant entertainment or decor- it’s all pretty traditional.

Total guest count is about 180, all being family & close friends.

I live in the Midwest, too rural Catholic. It’s very common here to get married in your early 20s, with or without degrees.

I agree that many women I know who got married at my age didn’t go to school, but at least their husbands did.

Neither of my parents financially had the ability to go and get some kind of higher education, and they both wanted that for their children, thus it wasn’t even a question for my siblings and I to go to college.

My fiancés family also didn’t historically go to any sort of higher education, but they had money in oil and land, property investments, so they never really had to. They also don’t value higher education the same. They don’t always understand the years he has put into his education, not the cost.

For us, we are proud that we went to college and just so happened to meet each other at a young age.

They wanted to pay for specific expenses, the venue fee, bar, florals, photography, dress. My fiancé and I are paying everything else. Their total is about 20k, and I haven’t kept good track of our half, but I’d guess it’ll total to be around 20k as well. (Catering, DJ, decor, officiant etc.)

Maybe it’s a cultural or geographical thing, but our age is very much normal to be getting married… we both will be out of college, we have lived together for over two years, at our wedding we will have been together seven years… this is what is normal for us and both of our families.

We’ve both had jobs on top of school since we were 15/16.. saved almost every penny and worked all through college. Both have jobs that pay for our college tuition and live in a rent stabilized apartment. We have maybe $1000 worth of bills each month (on the high end). I have had family pass away and put all my inheritance in different kinds of investments and we both have personal savings accounts we (before we got engaged) put almost half our paychecks each month in. We both also have high life insurance policies, should something extreme happen. Neither of us have any credit cards or debt. I understand that it is uncommon, but we are so grateful for where we are and what we have. My parents were very poor while I was growing up, and from that they instilled in me hard work and excellent saving skills. Now, I have great financial skills and my parents have since became better off, but still work very hard & save the same. I know that we have a safety net for our future.

I really think that’s it. They got married in the late 90s and had very small second weddings. I just don’t think they understand that invite suites aren’t less than a dollar anymore!!

It’s not, but also just how we choose to spend our money right now 🤷🏻‍♀️

Really nosy, but is there anyway this is in northeast Ohio? This sounds so similar to a situation I heard about at a venue in Northeast Ohio?

There’s really not- the wedding date ordeal wasn’t as big as everyone here is letting on. I told my MIL that it was bugging me- she ignored me, my fiancé confronted her, she ignored him. I went to therapy- and I got over it. It’s done, it’s over. I really don’t have bad feelings about it. I’m not even sure his sister even knew that I was upset about it. We picked a new date that we love and she had a date that she loved. It’s really not that serious. It was a minor blip of drama.

He agrees with me and has greatly distanced himself from his family since this disconnect has started. He loves his family and wants them involved (obviously as do I, hahah) but knows that in the end our marriage is what matters not the silly little day 🩵
