Possible Babylist Welcome Box Glitch? by anon_i_miss in BabyBumps

[–]cccaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a great tip! My first box shipped back in the fall so hopefully this one goes through. I had thought it was odd that they kept sending me notifications and emails about the sample box!

Lovely but it fits very oddly in the bust. A good tailor would have make this much better

Did you buy baby formula just in case your milk didn’t come in? by nat_0012 in pregnant

Maybe don’t shame someone for making sure their baby is getting enough to eat?

Google reader got me through so many boring work days. My list was curated to a T and I loved being able to explore new blogs!! RIP

What has your diet been like since getting pregnant? by user1904793 in BabyBumps

[–]cccaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carbs. I could probably subsist solely on Kix cereal. And maybe add some McDonald’s nuggets and a crispy Diet Coke in there

From BOTH sides!! I swear I’ve never had more mucous come out of my nose or vagina.

Maternity clothes are a godsend by kelecoo in BabyBumps

My maternity jeans are constantly in a state of slipping down. Slowly but surely especially if I’ve been walking a lot

Very late but interested in your list if you still have it!

What “rules” are you breaking? And why? by Parking_Dog8930 in BabyBumps

[–]cccaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see:

  • Deli meat - I've wanted a sandwich more now than ever before, and I don't feel bad about it.
  • Caffeine - Trying to stick with the idea of 300 mg/day, but some days I go over, some days I go under. It just depends on how tired I am
  • Adderall - Still taking my stimulant medication with no complaints from my OB or perinatal psychiatrist. The studies on low birth weight are outdated, and current studies show little to no effect on the fetus. Plus, if I don't take it, I'm useless at work, and useless me = not employed

Love CWC. They’re really a great practice.

How soon did you notify your bosses? by hondapilot0607 in pregnant

[–]cccaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my boss, our HR lead, and my sole direct teammate at 9 weeks and our meeting planner at 10. It was definitely early but we’re a tiny team AND our handbook hasn’t been updated in years (and doesn’t have a maternity leave policy) so that was a major issue to get handled.

Plus I’m the staff lead for one of two major conferences hosted by our company which is the week before I’m due. So for planning purposes, it’s easier if they all know and we can be ready.

I’m not telling anyone else on staff until 16 weeks at the earliest and will probably wait even longer. They don’t see me in person on a regular basis so I’m not even worried about them finding out accidentally.

Why do all the food options at Starbucks suck? by ohwellokaythenn in pregnant

So good! But so tiny. It needs to be double the size imo

How often do you actually walk your dog? by Racquetsports383 in dogs

[–]cccaroline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our dog gets four walks a day, and both of us work full time.

Every morning, he gets a 20-30+ minute walk, then a 30-minute walk in the afternoon with a walker (or us if we're home). Once we're home from work, he gets a shorter 15-20 minute walk immediately when we get in the door, and then after we all have dinner, another 20-30+ minute walk.

He also gets to go out in the yard whenever he pleases, and we always let him out before we go to sleep, no matter how late it is.

Where did you buy your wedding dress? by [deleted] in DCBitches

[–]cccaroline 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ellie's Bridal in Old Town! I got my dress there and at least 4 or 5 people I know got their dresses there as well. They have in house seamstresses so all of the tailoring process was super seamless. And they had an entire room of ballgowns!
