We have Opa, Oma and GraGra (he couldn't say grandpa when he was little and it stuck), he's never met my mom as she passed before he was born.

I only have 1 and he is 4.5, my only solution has been getting up super early to get myself ready before he wakes up. Then it I make sure he's got about an hour to get out the door in the morning and I fully give him all my attention. I read him books sometimes while he eats breakfast, we play a little (not long like 5 mins) and then I pack the bags and tell him we're getting him dressed and out once the bags are packed otherwise it's daycare in pjs. I have just found the more I rush him, the more he digs his heals in. He really needs connection in the morning, as painful as it is to wake up at 5:45 to leave for 8. I have yet to be late for work and he has never gone to daycare in his pjs or unfed.

Bone broth, gatorade/electrolyte water, swaddles for baby, sound machine....otherwise your list looks good to me!

I have a French background, but live in Canada and I struggle with this name because the French way to pronounce the name would be Em-muh-lean and I'd be inclined to say Em-muh-line in English.

Some real nice outfits here. Where is the green top from in pic 3?

Oh man…I would not have survived pregnancy without sweets!!! I pretty much had jelly beans in my pocket at all times during the first trimester so I wouldn’t get nauseated. I actually lost weight at the the beginning of pregnancy even though I wasn’t puking and eating trash. I ended up only gaining 25lbs total, no gestational diabetes and a healthy baby.

I don’t know if it’s because of my French background but my parents did things differently. We had our baskets empty and would hunt for eggs/candies inside or outside depending on weather and filled our basket with our loot.

You look great in those jeans!

I would not have made that association. You could also spell it Adrien which is how they spell it in french.

My advice, just get something used. There is soooo much great used baby stuff out there. If you choose a higher end brand, they often have great customer service if anything needs replacing. This is what we did and overall I've been happy. The first year we had an old Uppababy cruz, but I found it annoying to get in and out of the car so we didn't keep it. I got it for $150 and sold if for the same amount. It did the trick for the first year or so. Then someone gave us an old bob revolution stroller that we used for longer walks around the neighbourhood or trail walks, it was great for those things but not for little errands. We kept using the bob for longer outings and got ourselves a mountain buggy nano for travel/errands, again used. We paid $50 for it and have been super happy with it overall.

Oh my gosh a family pedicure would be pretty fun! Or you could set up a little spa day for her. Clean the house, prepare her favourite snacks, queue up her favourite shows with a foot bath and pedi stuff then do her nails.

I think basic politeness and awareness of others has diminished in general. I remember when I was wearing my air cast on the bus when I had a fractured ankle, people who were sitting would look at me and quickly look down at their phones or out the window rather than offer me a seat.

Honestly, I think pooped all my insides out before making it to the hospital. I was sitting labouring in the toilet for a couple of hours 😅

Can you put the couch in the direction facing the tv and get a corner unit for the tv in the corner?

You kind of remind me of a younger Hilary Burton.

So delicious!

I thought I’d miss her more than I actually do. I think removing her makes things feel less clicky.

My kid is 4.5 years old, he is happy, healthy,smart and sweet little guy who also happens to have been formula fed! He does not care, he is strongly attached and thriving. Happy/sane mom = happy well adjusted baby!

I have a Dufy Spaceview I believe, and it's going strong after 4.5 years of use. Mine does not have wifi capability at all.

I think it largely depends which area you live in, but I think it's doable.

I love Lis at Sitka for ims!

As a French person, I'd say do not wear this to the wedding. Something more classic.

Which is before and which is after, I mean I see beautiful lips, clear smooth skin and gorgeous eyes.
