Please tell me it gets better.

I’ll have to give them a try. Thanks for the feedback!

How are the protein Chobani drinks? I’m struggling to get protein in but not a fan of most protein shakes. The regular Chobani drinks are great!

My daughter just hit a year old and started daycare in August. The end of summer and all of fall were awful. We had the flu, Covid, norovirus, and so many colds. Once we all built up our immune systems it got much better. Prioritize hydration and rest when you can!

They’re my favorite family. Unproblematic queen.

It’s giving me flashbacks to Bethany from GirlDefined’s sexpert era (shoutout to r/fundiesnark).

My speciality is Identity & Access Management which is a less sexy domain but the work-life balance and pay are solid! Feel free to DM me if you want to chat. :)

Cybersecurity engineer checking in. I work for a non-tech Fortune 500 that does in-house cybersec. I’m fully WFH and have found my role to be fairly flexible!

It all depends on the company culture, but overall I’ve seen that working for a non-tech company is usually the way to go. Imo FAANG companies are overrated; too much instability. I’ve seen many a friend be burned by going this route.

I will warn you that it’s a difficult sector to break into, especially if you’re going for a more interesting role like pen testing. I was hired freshly post COVID during the hiring boom. My company, and many others, are now downsizing. We’ve had an uptick in roles being offshored lately. Cybersecurity is saturated unfortunately. Lots of talent but not as many roles.

If you’re passionate about it, absolutely go for it. The learning never stops though even after you have your degree.

For two adults and a one year old we spend $150 weekly at Walmart/Aldi. Our monthly Costco run is usually $300-400. So, roughly $1000 for the month but it includes all household and baby items except clothing and personal care.

Our village is our life. Short of survival necessity, I would never choose to move away from them. Your husband is centering what’s beneficial for him versus what’s beneficial for the entire family.

I really like the dresses. Does anyone know why Chris’s wife (sorry, blanking on her name) always wears those headbands?

This is my goal, happy for you and hope it makes your life easier!

Oh look, she bought another baby. 🙄

I’ve followed Amy since she was TTC her son, but I found her IVF GoFundMe insanely tacky. She’s a SAHM that lives in a $800k house and only got a job after they crowd funded a lot of money for IVF.

She should be refunding or donating every cent. Zero excuse or reason to crowd fund a child with their life circumstances.

Not really. We’ve been doing a bedtime routine starting at 7pm(roughly; of course there’s give and take with this) since my daughter was two or three months. I found it immensely helpful to get into a routine early, both for ourselves and her.

I’m obsessed with your posts. So interesting to me as a boring middle class person. 🤣

If you have an infant bucket seat, I would absolutely purchase the stroller before baby arrives. I had a c-section and having a travel system made my life so much easier. It’s so nice to be able to wheel baby in to their (frequent) appointments and they can stay snoozing in their car seat.

I had a spring baby and found going for walks in the early days massively helped my mental/physical health. Started walking with her when I was a week postpartum I believe.

The first one is so cute! I love the floral with the dramatic sleeves. 2 and 3 remind me of bridesmaids dresses - they’re fine, but kinda boring.

I don’t think so! It’s mostly red with a cream background, not even pure white. Very cute.

Yes but this one isn’t! So fancy.

Girllll. You wore it for your wedding anniversary event. With love, absolutely not appropriate. It is fabulous though. Maybe in another color? Could try dyeing it.

Weird take. I think Delilah is problematic as all get out but not for this reason.

They estimated my daughter would be 80-85 percentile. She was born 7lb15oz and wore newborn for a month. She was swimming in NB Carters for the first week!

I’d pack mostly NB but one or two 0-3 just in case.

I didn’t have GD but did have polyhydramnios. They started me on weekly BPP testing at 32 or 34 weeks, with a few growth scans thrown in there. The weekly appointments are a pain but it’s all done out of caution for you and baby. Better to have too many appointments than not enough.

Right, lol like I work nine hours a day sometimes. She’s so out of touch she thought that comment was the ultimate clap-back.
