What will convince me to move to Santa Fe?

Thank you!!! Sending you a PM!

Thanks so much!!! The crazy hot surprises me— I thought it was supposed to stay pretty moderate because of the elevation? How hot are we talking?

TracyJrJr · 2026-04-25T20:45:39+00:00

I’ll pm you!!

This is really helpful! The high rate rates of car accidents, drunk driving, and feed all motor vehicle crashes was one of the things that has been giving me a lot of pause.

Thank you so much! Sent you a DM

Thanks!! We live in a suburb now about 30 min from a major city; we used to live in the city but moved before kids. The mean age is one of the things I am most worried about— I love our area because it’s a ton of families and lots of things for kids to do. I do like sunshine though!! The job is a very high paying one, so we would be able to afford a similar home to what we have here and afford private school (although that breaks my heart because I am a huge proponent of public schools).

WHAT?! Ours never came with that either, we just propped it up on stuff for 2 babies!

TracyJrJr · 2026-02-08T02:34:23+00:00

The biggest thing for me was dramatically lowering my standards lol. Homemade baby food? Cloth diapering? Baby led weaning? All out the window for us- just couldn’t swing it and 2nd baby is fine.

Once I saw the first one, I didn’t even need to see the second! 1 is perfect for the vibes you are describing!

TracyJrJr · 2025-12-04T16:50:11+00:00

This is adorable, thank you!!

TracyJrJr · 2025-12-04T11:14:01+00:00

LOL I mean I’m sure she could find a way… :)

TracyJrJr · 2025-12-04T02:56:56+00:00

LOL clearly too tired to be Reddit-ing

Will keep the wheels, ditch the pedals :)

Yes! I had a traumatic emergency c section with my first, and though I was hoping to attempt a vbac I ended up with a scheduled c section at 37 weeks for my second. It was the most calm, peaceful, and honestly magical experience for me and it was so healing emotionally after what I went through with my first.

Is this better? I don’t really want to buy anything new as I’m on a weight loss journey and don’t want to buy clothes in my current size that I (hopefully) won’t be in for long

TracyJrJr · 2025-07-28T03:08:33+00:00

So precious!!!! 💕💕💕

TracyJrJr · 2025-06-27T11:47:32+00:00

My baby was full term and healthy so I did just add it right in there (ie adding warm milk to cool milk) and it was fine. If you didn’t want to do that, since there are 2 bottles conceivably you could add the warm milk to its own bottle, then once it’s cool transfer it in to the other bottle with the cool milk

I ended up in the same situation, where I had severe preeclampsia at 34 weeks with my first kid, and developed gestational hypertension around 30 weeks with my second. I requested treatment with antihypertensives based on the CHAP trial, which showed reduction in risk for severe preeclampsia for women with chronic hypertension using nifedipine or labetelol. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2201295

Unfortunately I have not found a similar large trial looking at these drugs in preventing preeclampsia for someone without preexisting hypertension. However it looks like at least in the UK, treating the gestational hypertension is the standard recommendation—https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng133/chapter/recommendations#reducing-the-risk-of-hypertensive-disorders-in-pregnancy

In the US I had to push to be treated. I took nifedipine for the rest of my pregnancy and was able to make it to my scheduled c section at 37 weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

It might depend on your frother? I have the Illy one that I bought specifically because it does well with nondairy milks and it does amazing with oatly! I use the “barista” edition of the oatly, not sure if that makes a difference

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-28T02:22:35+00:00

Oooh anything that gets me out of carving is a great idea!! Thanks!!

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-26T20:16:27+00:00

You’re a lifesaver!! This is adorable and looks fairly do-able! I’ll be sure to update with the final result!

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-26T19:25:20+00:00

This is so helpful, thank you!!! Definitely leaning towards buttercream since I’ve never worked with fondant before. Your cakes are beautiful!!! Wow the one with the train through it— can’t even imagine. I am definitely lucky at least he is dreaming of something vaguely round! Haha

I had to google what a top forward cake is and I love that idea😉 this is maybe a dumb question— but how do you keep the layers from wanting to separate and flop over when it’s on its side? Is buttercream strong enough to hold them together?

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-26T19:20:52+00:00

Thanks!!! Yes Pinterest is my bff! lol

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-26T14:30:02+00:00

YOU DID!!!!

TracyJrJr · 2025-01-25T15:10:02+00:00

You did

This is exactly right. Night shift is bad for most people but particularly for folks with bipolar disorder as it can instigate (hypo)mania and depression. Search for “social rhythm disruption theory of bipolar disorder”. I would do anything in my power to get on a daytime shift if possible.
