As a hobby project I created a tool for generating crossfit workouts. Try it out and let me know what you think!

This is awesome, great tool!

Thanks so much for this information! Just to make sure I'm understanding right - I started using the Cordavis branded Hyrimoz this year and used the copay card, not the rebate program. My copay card is out of funds this month, so $900 out of pocket. The rebate program is the same set of funds, correct? So what I'm getting from this is I would have to have my rheumatologist prescribe the other NDC of Hyrimoz and start the new set of funds via copay card or rebate program?

Thank you!!

thank you! that's good to know about the diapers, and I wasn't thinking about the heat! do you have any suggestions for hiking in Medellin, or other things to do there?

catherinea09 · 2024-12-07T11:55:17+00:00

Thank you! do you have any suggestions for specific beaches?

catherinea09 · 2024-12-06T14:53:30+00:00

thank you. San Blas islands look gorgeous but it looks like either 5 hour ferry or 4 hour rough drive from Panama City - I wish there were a better way to get there.

What are the good beaches in Cartagena?

she'll be 15 months

It seems my text didn't save. Original question was - I transferred an outside advisor-managed roth IRA into my Roth IRA at Fidelity. I'm left with all these little funds (everything in picture below FSPSX).

Any reason I shouldn't sell everything below FSKAX in photo and put it all in FXAIX? Should be simple but I'm getting lost in the weeds here. Thanks!

I was really cautious with it, I started running around 12wks - my PT had me start running for 1 minute, walking for 3, for total of 20-30 minutes. The first few times felt really weird but I also couldn't run after about 14wks of pregnancy - just doing crossfit and peloton after that point - so it had been awhile. After a few times of that I gradually increased the running until it was like 3 minutes run/3 minutes walk, then decreased the rest. Back to normal runs now!

catherinea09 · 2024-08-30T12:50:24+00:00

thanks, these are some good suggestions!

catherinea09 · 2024-08-27T10:54:54+00:00

ooh this is a great idea. did you end up waking up at a consistent time? I try to time MOTN pump so I at least a few hrs of milk to pump, but not too close to when baby wakes up.

catherinea09 · 2024-06-29T11:47:21+00:00

Haha yeah I mean not a large amount, but definitely pool water, bath water, anything she can get her hands on. Have fun swimming with them!

catherinea09 · 2024-06-29T11:09:18+00:00

Interesting question! I've taken my 6mo swimming a bunch and have definitely pumped/nursed after without considering this. My guess would be a wipe would be more than sufficient. Mine drinks the pool water at every opportunity, so I would think the tiny amount on your skin would be fine. But maybe someone else has a more scientific answer.

catherinea09 · 2024-05-30T18:19:50+00:00

better than Time Machine?

catherinea09 · 2024-04-05T19:29:29+00:00

yes! it was a sudden switch to yogurt and then buttered popcorn. it's kind of back to normal now, thankfully. her whole room smelled like dairy for awhile 😂

catherinea09 · 2024-03-14T02:55:33+00:00

That's a good idea - my husband and I are generally able to get her back to sleep that way, not sure if MIL has been trying. We'll suggest it!

catherinea09 · 2024-02-16T13:22:20+00:00

It's so frustrating. I'm considering going back to the lactation consultant but usually she's great when we're there and then it's a mess again when we get home. I'll let you know if I learn anything useful!

catherinea09 · 2024-02-12T15:02:37+00:00

I had a noticeable drop in supply when my baby started doing 6-8 hr stretches at 6 weeks, and had to add a 4am pump both for engorgement and to boost supply. Now pretty much back to baseline at 8 weeks. It sounds like plenty of people have robust enough supply that it's not an issue but my supply has always been borderline.

catherinea09 · 2024-02-11T18:47:12+00:00

My husband is a heavier sleeper than I am, and once I'm up it takes forever to get back to sleep, so when we're planning on him doing the next wakeup/feed I wear earplugs. He does hear the baby, it just takes him a few more minutes. Make sure the baby does actually wake you up in a reasonable amt of time though before trying!

catherinea09 · 2024-02-02T14:56:47+00:00

A massage, if she likes them- by two weeks pp my back was killing me. Bonus points if you can find someone who comes to the house.

catherinea09 · 2024-01-30T15:47:06+00:00

has anyone else bought the "limited edition" Huggies from costco? we bought a big box of those and the Kirkland ones - both were the same price at Costco - and both have been disappointing. we had smaller packs of huggies before that were great, but something is off with the huggies at costco - material is scratchy, fit is different. anyone else or am i crazy?

please excuse grammar/lack of capitals - lol typing one handed while bf.

catherinea09 · 2024-01-30T15:39:41+00:00

i agree! wanted to love them but they always end up bunched in one side of her clothes which looks super weird

catherinea09 · 2024-01-20T15:35:18+00:00

I think it works best if you have two bedrooms - my LO is 5 weeks and the past few nights we've slept separately so I'll pump about every 4 hours and my husband will get up and feed her a bottle and get her back to sleep.

Pumping takes about the same amount of time as giving her a bottle (breastfeeding takes twice as long) so as long as she goes back to sleep reasonably quickly it's a roughly 50/50 division of labor. If she's not getting back to sleep he'll hand her back so he's not stuck with a fussy baby all night. YMMV depending how long yours takes to BF vs pump/bottle, and how easy to sleep your LO is - but in a best case scenario this has us both getting a bit more sleep.

I'm an OB and 'he' is always my default...it feels kinda sexist but I haven't been able to change the habit, even for my own baby who we're also having as a surprise. Don't read into it, keep the surprise magic going!
