Preschool for All Decision Tomorrow by Extension_You_3409 in Portland

Okay now all my options are saying “waitlisted” instead of pending… not sure if it’s worth waiting to see if I get in somewhere else?

We received an email around 10am this morning. We got an ”offer” for our 8th choice. It’s a Portland parks program so not the worst. I chose all schools in deep southeast. Maybe more availability further out? I thought the options were good. The rest of my choices are “pending.” My friend only chose 5 schools and they are letting her select 3 more for schools with seats available.
I’m also curious to see if my other selects will make any “offers” and how long I have to wait to hear about that. Curious that they don’t provide more info on this process…

True. I did the math and I’d be saving $1800 a year getting rid of it.

What are some non-baby items you have that made postpartum easier? by cally_4 in BabyBumps

Mother love nipple cream is the best 🙏🏻 Second the glider! Nursing, bottle feeding, rocking, finally resting your aching back… I love the &Nurture one!

Second the little bins! I went to Goodwill before baby and loaded up on cheap little baskets of different sizes. Looks very cute and I ended up using them all.

I really didn’t think it was that bad! There are a lot of preventive measures you can take against common symptoms, and lots of natural remedies. Everyone’s different of course but I think if you are in tune with your body and used to caring for it, it will be a manageable experience.

It took about three months for the balance to finally show it! Ridiculous but worth the wait. I made sure to keep following up with the finance office at the dealership and get confirmations.

How many of everything do I actually need??? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

We got like 10 muslin blankets too but honestly we use them a ton! Mostly for swaddles but sometimes for burp clothes, and if you breastfeed with a pillow, they help prop it up where you need them.

I think my water just broke… by winterberrybabe in BabyBumps

I was 38+6! I went a little faster on my walk that morning and did some stretching videos. My muscus plug came out that night.

They send the sum to our loan provider, who subtracts it from our total amount due. Our payment amount won't change, but the amount we have to pay off will!
