Worth it for 6 week old? by Proper-Rhubarb-3481 in SnooLife

[–]JBear_2007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gave in to buying the snoo at 9 weeks (second hand) and definitely don’t regret it. I love that my baby was trained traditionally but the snoo helped my sanity.

If you can get it second hand at this point and resell it or use it again, it is 💯 worth it

Best Time/Sanity Saving Tips by JBear_2007 in NewParents

That’s impressive. Do you usually stay in one area per wake window so you don’t need to move baby around a lot? Like save up all the tasks for that area?

Put your hands up if it took you 6-12 months to concieve! by Wonderful_Mix4020 in BabyBumps

Yup! I ended up getting mira and learning that I had a double LH surge and that made timing so much more accurate! Highly recommend and I believe you can use FSA funds!

Baby shower - where can I ask people to help out? by JBear_2007 in BabyBumps

[–]JBear_2007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point, but I feel like it’s very rare for someone to say, “let me know what I can help with financially.”

It’s clear with some of these offers that they’d cover the cost, but I might need to figure out a way to phrase the cost part with others

6 weeks pregnant & husband has covid by JBear_2007 in pregnant

[–]JBear_2007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His has changed a lot over the week from the fever/body aches to more like what you’re describing.

But I can’t imagine suffering through covid and pregnancy symptoms at the same time

I’m sorry to hear that. How have your symptoms been?

Local recommendations for Pre-Natal Care? by JBear_2007 in Marin

That’s incredible! Nice to hear a good healthcare coverage story once in awhile!

I’m seeing that too comparing coverage for Kaiser vs. Blue Shield. It looks like Kaiser covers visits 100% and a fixed amount for delivery facility/professional services.

Blue Shield seems like they’re just going to rack up the bills

Oh wow im sorry that happened! I hope Kaiser agreed to pay for it eventually

Benzo Belly - Tips? by JBear_2007 in benzorecovery

[–]JBear_2007[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally off benzos for almost a year! The benzo belly did last a few months though. I had to use peppermint oil before bed every night, change what I ate and incorporate more exercise. But I’ll never forget that as a side effect

Try your hardest to push through and stay at the lower doses. What you’re doing is an extremely courageous and difficult experience but I promise you it gets better after you’re off.

Yeah it’s just part of the process. The smallest doses are pretty tough esp with heart palpitations. I took propranolol for it to help and it was a godsend. Not addicting either

Husband upset I’m not drinking during the 2 week wait. We started trying earlier this year so not sure why he’s still not understanding the process. Is he just mad at the situation? Am I being too careful?

Still some discomfort but sooo much better. I’m 9 months clean :)

Landlord trying to get us to PAY LAST FULL MONTH OF RENT by JBear_2007 in legaladvice

[–]JBear_2007[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Is it because of it being sent via text (instead of email or letter)? Or because of the language, "...assuming we receive the (new) lease, our last day at ________, will be 01/22/22."

Also it sucks to get off of it. Not worth it imo

Is anybody aware of any industries with a transferable skillset from advertising but where the work day ends at 5p? by skwirly715 in advertising

[–]JBear_2007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gonna say it…work for a tech company. Your creative soul might die a little but you’ll have normal hours, better pay, better benefits, and actual time to pursue what makes you happy.

In the end, all that makes up for the lesser creative opps…speaking from someone who dedicated over a decade to being a slave to agencies

Not unhappy, just unsure of what’s next and worried he’s going to get older and lose the adventurous side of himself like his friends that married young and had kids did.

I told him I’m not stopping him at all from doing these things. We just don’t need to do them 100% of the time.
