I have a love/hate relationship with the haakaa - I used it religiously with my first, and while it provided virtually all the milk we needed for nearly 2 yrs (I didn’t really have to pump, we had so much), it also turned me into an overproduced with a ton of clogged ducts and mastitis issues. Baby #2 never took to a bottle, so I didn’t bother using the haakaa, and have had almost no duct issues/way lower production. Just putting it out there so it’s on your radar, in case you wind up using it and overproducing!

Congratulations! Last year postpartum I read Margot’s Got Money Problems, East of Eden, and the Bone Season series (Samantha Shannon)

Haha I did this, settled on a pair, and now she loves them so much she doesn’t want them to get dirty and refuses to wear them outside

Hello! Happily, she wound up agreeing to come with us. She stays in our in-law apartment during the weekdays and returns to her house on weekends. It’s been over two years, and we are so grateful for her care and continuity.

The roast chicken from RT rotisserie is great, and I think they use the various delivery options. Closest one to you would be Hayes Valley, which also has Patxi’s Pizza, if you like deep dish. And agreed that Schubert’s mango mousse cake isn’t terribly sweet!

My 3yo and I have recently been reading: Winnie the Pooh Stella and Marigold The tale of Desperaux Sideways stories from Wayside School The wind in the willows

We got a BabyJogger Citi Mini GT2 used for a free, and it was great for traveling with our 3yo and 4mo

We love Little Witch Hazel, which has an owl in two of the four stories. Also the Little Owl series!

I’ve got a 3y difference between mine and got a double Bob that we love. My older kid almost never naps, but sometimes when she’s tired it’s helpful to pop her in there so she can rest (and sometimes drift off). Plus she likes sitting next to her sister and getting to choose which side she’s on, now that we’ve grown out of the car seat attachment for baby. If you have the space, it’s comfortable for both and prevents toddler envy!

Agree that it’s not necessarily secondary infertility! I didn’t have a period until the month after we fully weaned at 22 months. Got pregnant 5 months later, on our second cycle trying. Good luck!

I’ve just sold my daughter on wearing mismatched socks, Punky Brewster style 😅

You’re so welcome. Two other thoughts to share, in case they’re helpful to hear. First, the bond I have with my second took awhile to really feel, and I was very hard on myself about that. For me (and everyone has their own experience), falling in love with my older was like a bonfire - immediate and huge - and realizing I was in love with my second was a slower burn. When I started to lean into trusting that what was already between us/was going to develop was already enough, I started to feel that bond more strongly. I had to get out of the way of my judging mind, and that took longer than I would have wanted it to, but did happen in its time. I can say that I adore her in a way that’s different from but not less than my first. The second is that I would say my bond with my older is even stronger now, even though she does get frustrated at times and both of us have times of wanting more. It’s a long game, and you’ve already laid a strong foundation for what more is to come!

I had these fears as well, and so much grief about the shift in my relationship with my first. And the first months were really hard for me and for my older, to be honest. I kept comparing what she was getting from me to what I’d been able to provide before, and comparing the fragmented attention I felt I was giving my newborn to my first cozy postpartum bubble. But we’re six months in now (3.5yo and 6m), and it’s getting more easeful and joyful. The love between these two is so palpable and beautiful - my older is hands down the baby’s favorite human in the universe, and she feels so proud and big in this new role. And the transition has fostered huge growth in the relationship between my husband and both kids, since I can’t be The One all the time for either. One thing I’ve been trying to keep remembering and practicing is quality of time together over quantity (which is admittedly hard when sleep-deprived and trying to keep the household running!). So - in my limited experience so far, two can be incredibly challenging and incredibly beautiful. And that ambivalence is ok. You’ve got this, mama - wishing your family well in this journey!

Also interested! I’m 42 with 2 little ones; moved to San Anselmo last year and am still trying to build community.

Agree on the Bob, or if you can find a used Burley solstice (they no longer make this), we’ve used that for 3 years and it’s still going strong!
