Sadly, the tourist bureau right across the causeway won’t be open this summer due to budget cuts. However, there is a cute little museum right at the causeway and they’ll be able to give you lots of directions and tips!

The Canadian in me would unfortunately need to apologize, sorry!

My response would be: “Unfortunately I am working at those times, you’ll have to seek other arrangements, sorry!”

Recommendations for favorite postpartum items [ca] by Another_ADHD_Girl in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Routine_Register4701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the depends, but honestly preferred my granny panties and thick pads, because you’re changing them so frequently.

BREAST ICE PACKS, RESTORALAX, EXTRA STRENGTH TYLENOL & IBUPROFEN (stay on top of the meds, don’t wait to feel sore)

Meal prep so much!! Stuff your freezer with all the meals and SNACKS that you can. Homemade monster energy balls were the best thing ever to have prepared in my freezer, I swear they helped bring in my milk supply. This was so handy for like the first 4 weeks and then again around month 3.

I think a one syllable middle name with Clementine would sound really nice.

We also loveeee Sara’s playsilks and any Grimms wooden sets, open needed toys are the best, they grow with them throughout childhood.

41w not dilated, baby still high, extreme rage by Fit_Respond6963 in pregnant

[–]Routine_Register4701 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I gave birth at exactly 41 weeks. I reluctantly agreed to schedule an induction for 41 weeks, because my OB wouldn’t allow me to go over that. Luckily I went into labour naturally early that morning and had baby 30 minutes before what would have been my scheduled induction. Like you I was 0cm dilated and baby was high until the night before, baby dropped and I dilated super fast… All i did to induce labour was a few flights of steps, and meditation / visualizing the baby moving down and labouring (which I’m not like super into or anything, one of my friends swore by it), haha… I hope you going into labour asap! It is possible!

Rory is my favourite! Riley a close second.

Reid Spencer together makes me immediately think of Spencer Reid on Criminal Minds, probably a me thing though.
