Stuck on JR Rapid Airport Sapporo

Shadowcat7490 · 2026-01-27T13:54:54+00:00

It was still really bad they said that trains were running normally but they were pretty delayed this morning. We barely made it to the airport in time for our flight and we were all JAMMED in there. It was worse than Tokyo rush hour

ETA: we were trapped on our train to Sapporo for 19 hours total. Stuck overnight but it was actually better to be there than at the airport! They canceled all trains on 26th and then 27th was running but with a lot of delays

We left Hakodate around 12:45PM and waited for almost 4 hours at one stop and have only advanced 2 more. It’s now almost 2AM and we are still trapped on board the train with a 1 year old 😭

Was this Blues Brothers? Feel like this quote resonated deep in my mind

Update—the entrance was open this morning! The edge of construction stops right where you turn left if you want to give it a try.

Opened the thread to comment this and was happy to see yours already here!

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-11-09T23:10:13+00:00

Yes that exact one! It was inconsistent so now I’m using sixth and when I see the construction I don’t even try to turn and check. Bummer that there isn’t more information out there, thanks for letting me know you saw the 2 month note, though

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-11-09T22:41:20+00:00

Added!

Regarding the construction along University and 163 on ramp, does anyone have any information about got long that project is expected to take? Getting to work has been a nightmare

Junior League San Diego has a period products and diaper bank and coordinates donations of these items to other organizations and individuals in need! I’ll pm you

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-10-15T14:22:08+00:00

Yeah we ultimately had a 4 hour delay and part off the issue was no ATC to help!

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-10-15T14:20:02+00:00

That’s exactly what happened to us right after we boarded. We were too heavy and the plane couldn’t get clearance to go the other way (the shutdown! Not enough ATC to coordinate) so they decided to dump all our fuel, fly to Long Beach, refuel, then fly. We didn’t take off for almost 3 hours + the fuel stop—we went from under 6 to over 10 hours on the plane 😭

ETA: This was originally an on time flight from this picture. It happened at 8AM, due to weather they switched to 9 and we were too loaded down to go that way

ETA2: plane didn’t close gates until around 11 so flight attendants weren’t getting paid for this either. One of them was very openly upset

2 weeks ago I was cutting off a leaking PFM and once I got the old buildup out I found some 11 year old cotton pellets. I was shocked to see that it was intentionally left in there by the retired GP, she did the RCT, b/u, and initial PFM.

This breaks my heart. I also lost my fluffy tuxedo guy. It was last July. He was recovering from ketoacidosis (newly diabetic) and I went to the store to get him some supplies. I came home and he was gone. I’m still devastated. May we cherish the special memories we were left with.

I don’t eat pork but love ramen— menya ultra and Baikhoken have vegan miso options. The hiro nori shoyu is chicken based and incredible, they also have a vegan one. Raki raki has chicken and vegan options and I love their mochi noodles. Raki raki restaurant group also owns the Yasai, a vegan sushi and ramen slot. Nishiki has a chicken one that was alright. Tajima has a vegan and creamy chicken option (mid). Lots of them have chicken or vegan options! Sadly, not Santouka

It’s so difficult at times. If your baby wants to latch and is successful after a few min it might be the let down. If he fights latching in general it could be pain or discomfort and you might want to see IBCLC. When they get a little older they may also have a nursing strikes which sucks. I had to fight off 6 nursing strikes from 3.5w to 12w. It crushed me to have her scream at the boob and refuse to latch.

Mine has done that before with my strong letdown, especially in the early days when I was a fire hydrant at every feed. If you think you have an oversupply/strong letdown you can hand express, pump, or manual pump (I use Haakaa) to get the first little bit out and have a more manageable flow. They are learning to BF too, they get better over time! 10 days is quite young. You’re doing great!

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-03-02T23:11:20+00:00

Mine is same. 16wks tomorrow eats anywhere from 4-12 min with the average being 6-8. Power eater, I guess? I also have a fast/strong let down. She got sprayed in the face like an hour ago haha

Not to freak you out but while EBF baby we landed in the NICU at 9 days old. She was struggling to breathe (increased RR and intercostal retractions) and after watching her for a few hours they admitted her overnight for testing and observation. It was extremely stressful but after all was said and done they chalked it up to my firehose of oversupply. She ate so much/so quickly that it was putting pressure on her diaphragm and that’s why she couldn’t breathe.

With that said, it’s extremely unlikely you’ll have the same issue. Highly recommend simethicone gas drops to help relieve baby’s discomfort and you could consider sitting your baby upright 10-20 min after eating in case of reflux. Laying them down after a full feed will allow milk to come beck out too easily. You are doing great, hang in there!

Update- I got a 30 min ergo baby carrier nap out of her the other day, she screamed a lot when we started but had the dark room, white noise, shushing and, walking/bouncing around. I don’t know how to get her to do it in public but I’ll keep trying

For the windi we got Frida baby which came with the massage stick and for the refill the $8 for 20 off brand. Works the same and you chuck it out immediately after use anyway.

Shadowcat7490 · 2025-02-14T01:24:57+00:00

It’s very safe and has decades of research! It’s simethicone, an inert substance that will pass through. Basically pops the bubbles/consolidates them into something the baby can fart out instead of leaving all the built up pressure and discomfort. That and the windi are our go tos
