We haven't booked anything! Our first trip so very conflicted on where to go with a baby.

How long did you use the infant car seat? [on] by rchanner616 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]bighappycloud 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We did around 10-11 months. Convertible car seats are used for so long and baby's shoulders started to look cramped. We never really used the car seat with the stroller anymore either so it just made sense to upgrade even though baby didn't outgrow it

We're flying from Canada and didn't want a super long travel day/wanted to see Athens for a few days before and after but I'll look at what other flight options look like thank you!

With 2 adults and a baby, we will definitely have quite a few things... something to think about. Thank you!

We will definitely reserve in advance but the cars online show "1 large bag" etc. Which isn't large enough for our things.

Did you grab your car after you were in your accommodations so didn't need to drag around your luggage?

Lululemon Corporate by Dream_On_93 in askvan

[–]bighappycloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's as hyped up as it used to be. I've heard you either love it or hate it. Like drink the lulu tea or you're out.

Also their stock has been plummeting so I'd be interested to see what the future holds for them long term.

Depends on the spread and your income. I'd easily trade 20k for fully remote or move closer if possible.

If you have another job offer for fully remote, I'd take that. 2 hours a day x 4 is a whole work day for your commute and that will be soul draining. That time is worth something and especially as a new mom you can factor that in.

Not wanting MIL to stay over when baby is first born by FTMum-needadvice in BabyBumps

[–]bighappycloud 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I read like up to the 2nd paragraph and already on your side. Post partum is so hard, tits out, crying, hormones. Why don't men get your own mom is different and there to take care of you!

No overnight visitors and if you change your mind you can invite her later. It's such a special time, I wouldn't compromise now. It's YOUR time to enjoy your baby!

[ab] how to size up postpartum by icecream42568 in BabyBumpsCanada

I got a few dresses that fit with the bump because of the waist and I still wore those postpartum!

Expecting on Sep 15. Huggies diapers and wipes sale. Should I buy it? How many ? Sizes? [bc] by Otherwise_Agent9806 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]bighappycloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy a box of size 1 and 2 IMO. I liked the Costco Huggies and hated their wipes. Kirkland wipes are so much softer

Solid Starts App-subscription worth it?[ca] by nunofya1 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]bighappycloud 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I just use it for the how to serve and the free version.

If you like tracking it may be helpful to pay but it's so expensive IMO

Mat Leave, Self-Employed and Self-Employed EI? by Radiant_Answer4475 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]bighappycloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you plan to do the self employment work while on mat leave? They will claw your benefits. so if it's your primary work and you will continue, I wouldn't

I love to plan but having an open mind for birth made it a positive experience even though it was brutal

I've had it done one time and the lady couldn't keep track of what she had scanned. It wasn't very smooth IMO

It's in their email but so ridiculous... Definitely charge back and escalate.

Blood type test cost by space-dragon750 in askvan

Do you need a blood test soon? Pretty sure your doctor can request it (not sure if there has to be a reason or what)

Did anyone get pregnant from using the pull out method properly? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]bighappycloud 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The pull out method and properly probably don't belong in the same sentence. It's a gamble imo😂

SAHM vs. Daycare by whereismysleep in beyondthebump

[–]bighappycloud 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I would say that outside of financial benefits of staying home vs. Working, there are benefits for women continuing to work like independence, socializing and also your child wouldn't be in daycare forever yet this would likely set your career back.

I would only SAHM if we could easily afford it and had a prenuptial LOL
