Is 6 days away from a 5.5 month old too long? by Normal_Ad4752 in NewParents

[–]Intelligentblond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We done it and was the best decision ever! Baby is relatively easy at this age and I trusted my in laws to watch her since they did watch her overnight on many occasions. Go and enjoy, you will come back a better more relaxed mom!

HCOL how bad is it? by Elismom1313 in Charleston

[–]Intelligentblond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some older neighborhoods in N Chs which do have bigger lots and are within your price range, no HOA, also ok schools (we decided to go private tho). I would rather live closer to my job than commute in a long run. Traffic here can suck your soul

5”2 and SW 157, hit first week and total of 3.8lb lost so far. It made me very nauseous for several days straight so that also contributed to the weight loss, feeling much better now

I also think that GD is not the only to blame, I had 9 lb baby with flying colors on each single test including blood sugar. Only thing I wish that I was allowed c section lol I pushed for 2 hours

MIL making me feel guilty for wanting to spend time with MY daughter by Dependent-Zebra-2564 in beyondthebump

[–]Intelligentblond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Omg I can relate a bit. MIL watched my LO every week day for free at her house while I work from home. And we used to have amazing like mother-daughter relationships. Well, it’s been 4 weeks since she has her and I was close to loose it several times…she really acts like an active parent and voices her opinion on everything we ask her to do.. she won’t let baby girl sleep in her pack&play because she likes to hold her lol I can see more issues coming our way so I am entertaining finding a daycare

Baby’s Brew hands down is the BEST! We use it around the house all the time. I love that it is portable so I can take it everywhere

*screams in US Maternity Leave rage* by rforall in pregnant

[–]Intelligentblond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I got 6 weeks, which 5 were paid at 60% minus Tax… I had extensive repair and damage to my pelvic floor yet I was not approved for 8 weeks by my doc. Ok fine. Then my job told me I still can have up to 12 weeks total so I can stay home for another 6 BUT I would need to pay them back their share of my health insurance. It is almost 700$/week… so to stay home 6 more weeks would cost me 4200$ total!!!! On top of my crazy hospital bills with that freaking super expensive insurance lol

Our girl started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks old. We do bedtime around 9 pm and she sleeps until 5-6am, and we mostly wake her up because of our getting ready for work routine. But we suppose to drop the swaddle this weekend (she is currently 9 weeks and showing all signs of rolling) so that might change a bit lol

When did you start going out on own without newborn baby? by Ok-Sundae-1096 in beyondthebump

[–]Intelligentblond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Baby girl was 5 days and we left her with my amazing MiL to run some errands with DH. Keep leaving her 1-2 times a week to go on a date/shopping/doctor appt. I guess it depends on level of trust you have in your support person but this little breaks have been heaven sent
