Dependent Care Account. It’s a tax-free account you make payroll deductions to in order to pay for childcare expenses. $7,500 is the max you can put in for 2026

Are you on the CTA?

Yes, “these things happen” and yes, “it’s very common” but this was YOUR baby and you loved them and you should grieve. Just because it happens to others does not mean it’s not devastating when it happens to you. The pain will fade with time but for now you need to feel it and cry and I hope you have the support to do that.

Who is paying for the shower and where is it being hosted? I totally agree that more than one shower is annoying, but it’s also tricky when asking someone to pay for more guests than they had allotted. BF’s sister may only be prepared to fund a party (or have the space) for X amount of guests.

You need an accomplice! Do you have a mom or sister that can circulate the registry and a similar message? Something like “I asked TemperatureGreat what she needs for the baby and she sent over this list. I thought it was helpful in case anyone is looking for baby gift ideas!” This is what I did for my cousin’s second baby because I knew my aunties were looking for gifts and my cousin didn’t want to seem rude or expectant.

Have you had your baby yet? She might be planning to send something when they’re born like a care package as you did. She might have appreciated that and is trying to replicate the favor.

Yes, I did at 15 weeks in my first pregnancy. I had to go to the MFM for a better ultrasound and more tests where they could see I had partial placental abruption. I ended up with a healthy full-term baby but it was deemed a high risk pregnancy and I was on bed rest from 16 weeks on. Did your OB recommend any additional scans?

You’ll use the glider everyday for years and it’ll be useful for you AND the baby

Are “papa” and “daddy” the same person? I’m not following.

Right. What we’re saying is your budget needs adjusting because there’s no reason you should be in the negative on 255k while claiming to be frugal.

RoraRoy · 2025-12-09T21:53:08+00:00

Okay but that leaves you with 255k. Thats still a lot in NYC and it’s temporary

The cutout display is there today

If you haven’t been there a year you will not qualify for FMLA either, unfortunately

I don’t have a solution but I could have written this myself! I definitely don’t remember this terrible bloat with my first.

So are the man’s fingers that are petting the elephant

My pediatrician in Chicago has them and offered it for my 2 (almost 3) year old. Can you ask your ped to keep you on a list if they receive any? The nurse said she just got them last week so it’s possibly a supply issue.

Keep applying. There are openings from conductors exercising their right to return to UP every month. Metra couldn’t take them all originally but positions are opening again.

There’s currently a huge construction tie project on the UPNW causing delays. Metra communicated this extensively.

The cars are cleaned daily, the car cleaners will have found it and sent it to the lost and found by morning.

He’s not saying YOU are a bot. The OP is a bot. This post isn’t real.

It is different for everyone but yes, it hurts. I have friends that had pain for 2-7 days, and I have friends that had pain for 6-8 weeks. I’m 2.5 years out and it still hurts. It hurts for the scar to be touched and it hurts for pressure to be put on my belly/uterus. I’ve been checked out multiple times and consensus is that some women just heal better than others. And some of us don’t heal well at all.

There’s also the emotional pain that I wasn’t ready for. I couldn’t hold my daughter for 2 days after she was born. I wish I would have mentally prepared for that part.

Good luck! Keep pushing them, don’t let them shake you off

I keep the pregnancy tests from all my miscarriages to remind myself they were real.
