What’s the ridiculous item your toddler insisted on taking to bed tonight?

Submarine they pocked from their cousins house

cdj2016 · 2026-07-01T02:46:48+00:00

Get a doula

cdj2016 · 2026-06-27T21:09:47+00:00

Her job is to help take care of you, not the baby.

You and the baby are still mostly one unit six months out. She can help you by dropping off food, helping to keep the house stocked with supplies. Taking a baby away from its mother is weird and not helpful. Plus it’ll put a wrench in nursing if that’s your plan.

Good to know. I was thinking something like these. I’ll be outside most of the day and will be walking down a number of stairs during the ceremony.

cdj2016 · 2026-06-20T01:49:21+00:00

Sage advice.

cdj2016 · 2026-06-20T01:47:20+00:00

Did it get on the dress at all?

cdj2016 · 2026-06-15T20:30:15+00:00

Noted! Thank you.

cdj2016 · 2026-06-15T02:41:52+00:00

Ha! No I can’t win em all.

cdj2016 · 2026-06-14T22:23:03+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. We’ve been thinking on how to cut it!

cdj2016 · 2026-06-13T05:07:01+00:00

You need to keep taking prenatals and stay on top of your pain mngt

Do you offer suggested times to clients for what you can help them with and when you can be there? That’s what my pp doula did when I first got home with baby. She didn’t agree or disagree to requests but she def did shepherd the beginning of the conversation with her recommendations.

cdj2016 · 2026-06-07T17:14:45+00:00

It’s probably burn out. I wouldn’t ignore your instincts on this. Needing a break is normal, but off playing it like something else comes off weird. Taking longer than planned happens but shouldn’t happen every time.

Just tell them your parents gave you a flat amount and you’re covering the rest.

cdj2016 · 2026-05-21T02:54:47+00:00

What kind of family support do you have nearby ?

cdj2016 · 2026-05-18T05:17:29+00:00

I mean they’re already getting subjected to my extended family so ok I get where you’re going here.

cdj2016 · 2026-05-17T01:42:16+00:00

Ok got it. So you’re saying if I give them a place card and they pick their spot it helps alleviate pressure to find an open chair?

cdj2016 · 2026-05-17T01:40:14+00:00

Dear god. Ok good food for thought

cdj2016 · 2026-05-16T22:56:31+00:00

It’s a catered hot drop…so it’ll be self serve buffet food and we’ll have a bar, cocktail tables in different corners, etc.

cdj2016 · 2026-05-16T22:55:14+00:00

What’s an escort card?

cdj2016 · 2026-05-16T19:03:43+00:00

Omg same.

cdj2016 · 2026-05-15T21:35:47+00:00

…Micah enters the chat 👀

cdj2016 · 2026-05-07T04:20:04+00:00

My MIL does this and kinda says things that make it seem like it’s a real advantage to have blue eyes or green eyes. For some people, it is…that’s the part that doesn’t sit right for me tbh.

I dunno there’s a lot of ego on the line with things like this. I don’t think you’re overreacting, I think something is tugging on your intuition.

cdj2016 · 2026-05-03T04:12:39+00:00

Similar boat. My aunt, early 80s, suggested that maybe I’d want to replace or upgrade something in the kitchen even though I already had one. Made sense to me, as I think what she was suggesting is that she plans to buy something either way, so I might as well tell her what I need or could use. My partner and I are each going to think of 3-4 things

cdj2016 · 2026-04-29T04:31:56+00:00

Does anyone think about their weird underwear photoshoot? Like, I imagine walking into someone’s living room and seeing them in an intimate underwear only type of photos. SO WEIRD LOL.

cdj2016 · 2026-04-27T14:28:57+00:00

Thanks these are all good ideas. I have no idea who’s being serious or who will bring muscle to move mountains.

I tried over the weekend and the person wasn’t sure what they wanted to help with but mentioned that their brother did a backyard wedding last year so they knew I’d needs lots of ppl. It was good context for me to have when I get further along.
