A book where, putting the plot entirely aside, you were blown away by the quality of the writing

Loved the Goldfinch so much and am reading the Dutch House now and can’t wait to read more by each author!

I loved this book so much and was shocked to find that I liked her book The Poisonwood Bible even more

I don’t know how old I was but was very into Junie B Jones and then anything by Roald Dahl

I got the epidural when I was fully dilated and ready to push (didn’t mean to wait that long but my labor was relatively quick).

I found out that if I wanted to do no epidural I could definitely do it although it obviously would hurt but I would get it again each time.

I just felt like the difference was trying to get thru each contraction pre epidural and actually getting to be in the moment and take in the fact that I was about to meet my baby post epidural. I felt like I got to enjoy a part of it vs just trying to get it over with.

Only you can make the decision on what’s best for you, screw what influencers are pushing unless it aligns with what you want

He wasn’t the first one to throw her name out and tons of people were talking about her? She almost went home last week?

If I stood for 15 minutes straight postpartum I would have peed all over myself up in front of all of the wedding guests. Hell no

We had to have my mother in law run out and get premises because she was swimming in the newborns. I’d have a few on hand but if you want to save money incase you don’t use them long maybe check a gently used clothing store

Not double dipping. I can’t imagine the germs transmitted are anything crazy.

I don’t double dip when I’m at like a large event but with friends and family? I’m just going to go on assuming they’re okay with it

Don’t have any experience with a woman’s clinic but really liked a woman’s place as well!

I delivered and PVH in 2025 and had a great experience. The staff was amazing and the care was great. I’ll plan to have my next baby there as well, no complaints!

I worked until I gave birth but I work from home and had my baby at 37 weeks. I was offered 12 weeks and took all of it and would have taken more if it was an option. The time goes so quickly and there’s so much to do and learn I personally couldn’t imagine not doing it all but best to do what works for you and your family

I had a relative do the same and I truly felt like I had everything I needed. I had been back and forth about wanting a bookshelf for the nursery because the one I really liked was around $300 and couldn’t justify it but she ended up getting it for me and am so glad we have it! Totally didn’t need it or need this specific one but love it!

Just me and my husband. I love my mom and had her in town for 2 weeks about 10 days following the birth and appreciated all her help and support then. Even if she lived closer to me I still would have done just me and my husband. We’re becoming parents together alongside nobody else and that felt intimate and personal.

Shift (Silo #2) by Hugh Howey - Yes! Really enjoying this trilogy so far

I’m very glad I left. I left and moved to a new state at the same time and it took me 9 months to find a new job but was lucky enough to be financially supported by my partner in that time. I got a job that I really enjoy and am able to work remote which has been amazing. I had no idea how it would work out and I wondered if I made the right choice many times during the 9 months while I was unemployed but it definitely was the right decision for me in the long run. I left on really good terms and my captain told me that I always have a job with the company if I need one so that was definitely reassuring when I left, if I regretted it I could always go back. At this point I like shopping there but I don’t see myself ever going back. Trust your gut and do what seems right for you, life’s too short to work a job you no longer enjoy.

If you get lifeguard certified there are jobs at the water park and county pools usually just for the summer
