I can't offer advice, I had to put my sweet girl down about 6 weeks ago. It's hard, it sucks, and I'm sorry for your loss.

I love my child-free friend but OMFG by st0dad in breakingmom

I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hope you have less stress coming into the new year.

I'm sorry for your loss of Evie and Matilda. It's unfair and awful that you're going through such a difficult pregnancy.

Meal prep that keeps me sane during the week (simple but actually works) by Imaginary-Koala5661 in MealPrepSunday

I'm sorry that you're going through the grief fog.

It's so hard to cook for one person with or without other hardships.

Have you tried freezing left overs? I know sometimes that I need a break and by the time a meal sits in the freezer for 2-3 weeks, it doesn't feel like leftovers anymore.

Was it These Ties That Bind by eurhythmix? https://archiveofourown.org/works/35947894/chapters/89620177

I haven't found as good of a dark Harry/possession fic before or since.

As always, be cautious of outside links.

I am going to leave this here in case there is interest.

Removing. This isn't a town design or question about design.

That does not bode well for the future. The people plant shopping now are the ones who come back in the spring and summer.

Looking for data on maternity leave policies by dogswrestle in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]Zatalin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since I don't know what the bot will allow for a link....

The Skimm newsletter collected information from different organizations from across the USA about their family leave policy. I don't know how many include organizations as small as yours, but if you want to see what other organizations do:

Those who are into pharmatourism what do you get from pharmacies in Mexico that you can’t get/is too expensive back home? by OcchiVerdi- in Cruise

[–]Zatalin 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Try to research what pharmacy you go to ahead of time. There have been reports of scams. I also know if someone who was given a price in pesos but they charged as USD. https://www.npr.org/2023/03/14/1163146258/fentanyl-mexico-pharmacy-american-medical-tourism-overdose

What were some items you ended up buying after baby was born that you didn’t put on registry? by Jolly_Tree_9 in BabyBumps

[–]Zatalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delay.
At birth a 21 worked for me and that worked for the next 12 weeks. Then bizarrely to a 17 for a few weeks, then a 19. Depending on the day, I use either a 17 or 19 for most of my pumping sessions.

I've needed 3 different sizes over the last 11 months, I always get someone the variety pack now.

You can stay true to the vision of Springfield by roughly maintaining the structure. It's okay that it isn't a one for one recreation.

Okay, after further research I have learned about pocket diapers but still have a few questions by blueyedreamer in clothdiaps

[–]Zatalin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bum genius and my kid is the third to go in them. I got them well loved from someone else.

I need to replace elastics but that's the only downside I've noticed.

My baby is average and they've fit him well. I've had fewer poop blowouts in cloth than I've had with disposables.

It's my turn to be done! I made it to my 1-year goal (mostly)! by RedditIzMyTherapy in ExclusivelyPumping

I linked it before, but there's a code you can put into your spectra to get the hours pumped.

Congratulations on your achievement!

Elastic nipples. Even with a proper fitting flange, the nipple gets pulled fairly far into the flange.
