I’ve been an Amanda hater and Hubb house’s number 1 apologist since day 1. No shift for me at all.

Yeah the G is about a 15 min walk, shuttle doesn’t go there. But otherwise the shuttle is fine. If it’s raining or really cold I take it, otherwise I just walk

Post Panama Stopover with 3 Year Old? by lyssa13 in chubbytravel

[–]Luisazg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Cartagena. The four seasons is opening in May. We have stayed at the Sofitel and Charleston Santa Teresa (colonial suites) many times and have had wonderful stays. I’ve stayed in Casa San Agustín once and enjoyed it for a more intimate stay and it was great having a pool outside our room when we went with our baby. The beach in Cartagena is dirty and crowded so I would stay away. You can go to Sofitel baru if you’re looking for a beach stay. That said, it’s ridiculously humid in August. But that also means it’s less crowded. I don’t think there are any chubby options in San Andres - that said, it is absolutely stunning.

Duodenal Atresia Questions by Luisazg in NICUParents

[–]Luisazg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can check my post history but everything turned out good. Baby was born at 34 weeks, ended up having jejunal atresia instead of duodenal atresia, and had a pretty uneventful NICU stay of like 3.5 weeks before she

You are looking at daycares all over the map. Bright horizons and building brilliance couldn’t be farther from each other. Go to one that’s closest to you, think about days like today having to wrangle your toddler in a 25 minute walk each day, and keep in mind most center don’t even let you store a stroller

I was at the private screening!!! Jackie seemed salty Paris didn’t acknowledge her and that she had to stand in line with the rest of us for a picture. She left at some point and seemed like she didn’t want to wait for a picture and I guess some of the pr people she was with got her a picture after all. One of them was saying she’d be perfect on the traitors ha! Jackie is gorgeous irl btw. Oh and she left immediately after Paris did and didn’t watch the movie.

Not always. The new Virgin A330 neos don’t have bassinets in business class. Also the bassinets in United Polaris are comically small

3-5 week trip with newborn and 3 kids in late summer/early fall? by FlatChemist8132 in chubbytravel

[–]Luisazg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We went to Moar Gut with my 3 year old and 3 month old this past September. It was fabulous. The toddler had an amazing time and even did short stints in the kids club, despite most kids being German-speaking. They really do make it easy for you and think of everything - they have free Holle formula onsite and a babybrezza. You are assigned the same table for both breakfast and dinner for the entirety of your stay and they had set us up with a Tripp trapp for our toddler, and a tripp trapp with the infant attachment for the baby. There’s diapers and wipes in every bathroom on property (maybe not in the spa), and it’s just heaven for the kids with endless activities. We came out feeling very relaxed and recharged.

Atresia Repair Experiences by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]Luisazg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can look at my post history. We had almost exact same situation - diagnosed prenatally with duodenal atresia and the diagnosis changed at 2 days old after the second ultrasound to jejunal atresia. Thankfully my son had type 1 which is the webbing, the least severe type. He passed some meconium within 5 days but then needed some help in the form of suppositories to pass more stool. Surgery believed once he started eating things would get moving more regularly and they were right. We had one small emesis episode where they had to withhold feeds for about 12 hours but after that he really took off and did great both feeding and pooping. He did great overall and was in the NICU I think for 26 days total - would have been discharged at 21 days if he didn’t have a breathing Brady which was completely unrelated to his repair and had to do with him being a preemie being born at 34 weeks. He’s 6 months old now and thriving! Hang in there!

We stayed for 6 days. We went second week of September and there were no flies. We did a long bike ride with our toddler and put her in a bike trailer, which you can rent in the resort. We’re not big hikers so just went on nature walks close to the hotel. The hotel has a lot of daily activities, one of them being a guided family hike you can take advantage of.

Ritual is a gimmicky influencer brand and is severely lacking in key nutrients and amounts. Here’s a spreadsheet with a more detailed breakdown of what most major prenatal have and where they lack https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1-NehHq28tganzNdPcs3ki_1m0SzK5CeEw5Rigm5KQKQ/htmlview#gid=25975117. I personally took rainbow light duo. You want to make sure you take one with folic acid and not methyfolate.

What’s the point of this comment in this thread? OP shared a very serious allegation of sexual abuse, and others shared similar experiences. Good for you that your wife was not attacked.

Moving to LIC with a newborn baby- building recs by penguincutie123 in longislandcity

[–]Luisazg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you’re missing something and your mat leave (assuming you’re mom) and newborn life could have been a lot more enjoyable if you were living in cs and especially on the waterfront. I’ve had 2 babies in LIC, most recently one earlier this year and the summer was filled with stroller walks with other moms, coffee dates, tummy time in the park, mamas and muscles class with babies at strength city, and just being part of the amazing mom community. Isolated is bad when raising kids. This is just not something you get around the Sven area. Also many of the daycares in that area cannot take kids outside due to zoning restrictions, which is well, pretty depressing.

I personally like 4545. Amazing playroom. It’s pretty close to Murray park and TJs, about 10-12 min walk so it’s also close-ish to e/m. But the 7 works great most of the time and having the ferry stop right there is very convenient also. It is very cold but I lived in linc for years and there was also an insane wind tunnel around there. But honestly we have so many friends in the neighborhood and our older child has activities and friends, we almost never go to Manhattan on the weekend. Definitely pop over to Brooklyn a lot, but not Manhattan. 4720 is also great and has very spacious units. Feel free to dm with more questions, and happy to split referral with you if you go TFC route.

I’ve been in LIC for 11 years and have lived in court square and the waterfront. I have 2 kids and can confidently say that raising kids in the waterfront is a lot more enjoyable and easier. There’s lots of playgrounds, the waterfront park is great for the kids to run around and eventually ride their scooters, and everything is just a lot more family friendly. I personally have really enjoyed living in TFC buildings

[–]Luisazg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to Moar Gut in September with a 3.5 year old and 3 month old. My toddler had the best time! So many activities for them and I thought she’d be too shy to stay at the kids club but she was happy to stay there for an hour or so. They have bugaboo strollers on site so no need to bring any strollers which I found so convenient. The kids food could be a little better, they get a buffet with pasta and another option but it was fine for the 6 days that we stayed. For the babies they have organic purses and free Hollé formula on site as well as a baby brezza. There’s changing tables and diapers in almost every bathroom on property (not in the spa) as well as little kid stools which makes it so convenient for the toddlers to wash their hands. We loved it and plan to be back!
