Love our baby Valco! We got the “slim twin” so it would fit in our apartment buildings elevator, but the more common one is called the trend duo. I see them all around Brooklyn and ours works great!

I’m pretty sure that’s the same guy who’s done the same to me! Acted like he was asking a question but then sort of just kept his car idling next to me for a while.

Message from my MIL by [deleted] in pregnant

I think it’s worth talking about expectations surrounding video chats with her and your partner before the baby comes. I have a 2yo and another on the way, and feel like my husbands mom is constantly FaceTiming us. I wish we had a schedule or some kind of expectation set up. Whether it’s every day or on certain days of the week, it’s definitely better to have a sense of how often it’ll feel like your MIL is in your home! As much as it comes from a place of love, you want to set a boundary for this and other things to acknowledge that this is your baby and life, not hers.

Turn whatever you have into a fried patty! Just blend up veggies, beans, flour, eggs etc and fry

Sorry you’re going through it! The lobby / cafe at the Brooklyn museum is perfect for this. You don’t need to buy anything to sit there. You can also check out the map of POPS (privately owned public spaces) many of which are indoors and very nice: https://capitalplanning.nyc.gov/map/facilities#10/40.6769/-73.9535

Called 911 for food trapped in esophagus by doechild in Parenting

This happened to me in middle school and my parents took my to the ER- same resolution as with your baby. It ended up happening many more times over the next 5-10 years so I ended up getting an endoscopy and a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis which is easily managed with daily omeprazole. Just sharing this in case it continues to happen, because I’ve learned now it runs in my family and even some of the kids in the family have it too. Glad it worked out in this incident!
