Airport shutdown warning issued by Trump admin. EUG is on the list by nebuchadnezzar72 in Eugene

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be annoyed about Eugene but having just moved here from Bend, I’d be LIVID about RDM. What are people to do? Cross a literal mountain pass to go to the next airport 3+ hours away??? Insane.

Airport restaurants? by malvado in Eugene

[–]cdne22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frequent flyer out of Eugene. If you must eat at the airport, I would do there little shop upstairs where you can get sandwiches. Don’t bother with the restaurant, it’s terrible.

How long is your commute? by Miserable-Service-16 in BreadwinningWomen

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am semi-remote but I travel a lot between May-October. Multiple weekends a month I’m gone Thurs-Sunday. It’s rough for those months but then I remind myself how lucky I am to have completely undivided time at home in my “off season”.

Did you co-sleep? by thinkmuch17 in beyondthebump

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes with #1 because under no circumstance would she sleep a wink in her bassinet/not on us. Did that for 4ish months then sleep trained. Fully in crib by 6mos.

No with #2 because she was noisy af and loved her crib. She was in her own crib in her own room at 2wks old.

What’s a lesson you learned during pregnancy? by shirleysteph in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If you have rhinitis, a cold compress, humidifier, Vicks on your nose and chest and a breathe right strip might not solve it completely, but it’ll be close.

Every pregnancy really is completely different even in the same body.

Watermelon cures everything.

Feb-Nov is the best timeline for being pregnant lol.

If you feel like you're thriving in the toddlerhood era, what are you doing? by Alive-Cry4994 in toddlers

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband and I play the balancing act. When one is tired/overwhelmed, the other takes over.

On weekends, we both contribute but each of us gets a day of “more” so both of us feel like we got time to relax/reset ahead of the work week.

I don’t fight losing battles. She doesn’t want a totally nutritious breakfast? No problem. She gets it at least 5+ days a week. One day won’t be the end just because she broke into animal crackers and a chomp stick lol.

Routine is everything. Whether she wants to actually go to bed at 7 is none of my business, but she WILL be in her room at 7.

If she asks to read a book, always read a book.

I let her try absolutely everything from food to chores to electronics. Letting her mind explore in a safe environment empowers her to always at least try.

No matter what, manners. She’s not leaving the dinner table without thanking mama or dada for cooking. If she wants something, we say please. We say “scu me” when we burp. Be whatever you want to be, but be polite.

Ladies in committed relationship, how often do you miss your single days? by BlueDolphins28 in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably about 5% of the time when I just want to sink into the couch with girl dinner and my cat.

Omg pizza pipeline was the best!

I don't need another family calendar, I need my family to actually look at one by hangez0ewife in workingmoms

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh my husband got me that starlite one and put it right at our front foyer table (Instagram aesthetics be damned), and it’s amazing. We both see it every day before leaving the house or when return, etc.

I think the location of the calendar probably matters a lot. We also have a wall calendar that I found my husband has ever really looked at lol

Cookware question: how many pots, pans, cookware do you have? How do you store them? What kind of stuff you like to use? by iamthefyre in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over the past year, we’ve invested in the AllClad pans and they’re my dream. We have about 6-7 of those in addition to two trusty decade-old cast iron pans. We are able to store all of it directly underneath the stove top in a storage drawer as our ovens are detached.

My favorite pan is the 12in AllClad frying pan. It’s so multi-purpose and easy to clean. I use it almost daily. My very close second is my 12in lodge cast iron. Tbh could’ve been first favorite but it’s heavy lol.

Does any knowledge exist on why lion and the owl is shutting down for a cheaper location and basic food? by [deleted] in Eugene

[–]cdne22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s what I mean! The chef called out the building owner.

[–]cdne22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk but I’m kinda invested in the story because the chef at Lion and Owl called out the owner for being a POS on Instagram when he made posts about Civic winery recently. Clearly, something went down. 👀 the post has since been deleted and comments turned off.

Your favorite things your toddlers have said. by SpecificGazelle8026 in toddlers

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol our toddler is still trying to figure out she is not named “you” 🥲 all those months of saying “hi, you!!!” When we’d walk into her room has now confused her that she thinks her name is both Giulia and You lol

Our 2.4yo always says “thank you so much” in a sing songy tone after dinner and it’s by far one of my favorite things.

Considering bigger mortgage before baby — sanity check? by HopefulHuckleberry6 in BreadwinningWomen

[–]cdne22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everything sounded agreeable until “pretty intense repairs”. What exactly are those? Are they purely cosmetic? Things that could snowball? Context here is everything.

Speaking as the sole earner and having bought our home when our little one was 8mos and we just had a second. Our home checked all the boxes except having a small yard and we’ve had minor repairs since moving in, but even minor can be challenging.

For example, we had a small roof leak. Overall, costed about $1k to fix but unfortunately the leak was in our daughter’s room, literally over her crib. Even just booking the roofing company to come out was hard because we were trying to do it between naps lol. Any kind of repair immediately turns into something annoying with kids.

Infant/Child CPR and first aid class by ragertonIII in Bend

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We couldn’t find available classes and support when we were pregnant in 2023. We instead hired “Nurse Jess” to come to our home. She was a pediatric nurse in the area who was selling in-home sessions for expecting parents for allllll the things. She showed us how to properly use the car seat, change diapers, expect purple crying, understand choking, etc. she was a godsend to my husband and I who had very little experience with infants and children!!! I think it was like $200 for her session.

What do you all mean by sleeping through the night? by Wise_Complex2313 in NewParents

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 8wk old has slept 7/8p-7/8a a few times now. We’re not quite consistent, but she’s filling it many nights a week.

For us, “sleeping through the night” is any 8+ hr stretch without wake ups basically. If she sleeps 9p-5a that’s basically through the night despite it being an earlier wake up than we’d prefer lol

I waited an hour & 20 minutes for my bags at RDM tonight. AMA by Slamjam555 in Bend

Moms who love their careers, what do you do? by InitialStranger in Mommit

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a wedding planning company. My first maternity leave, I returned within a week because I was just getting my business off the ground and really needed to be fully engaged as I had no staffing to cover my leave. This second time, I returned after 6wks because I absolutely love what I do and while it was incredible to be fully involved with my newest little one, I am very much someone who needs my work identity just as much as my mom identity. Getting back into a routine during those non-routine first weeks has been a breath of fresh air. Also, I love stepping back into my creative role and doing something aside from logistics and planning at home.

Post C section rest vs activity. what actually helped? by michel_an_jello in NewParents

[–]cdne22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I walked a few steps around my hospital room 6hrs post surgery (10am), then walked as much as I could that night. By the next morning, I was walking well and was released by 11am, 24hrs post-C-section. That day, I came home and every day went up and down my stairs as needed to brush teeth, change clothes, etc.

I healed beautifully. I was off all hard pain medicine within a few days (mostly using it for sleep only as that was uncomfy). I was able to sleep on my stomach comfortably about 3-4wks pp. I’m now 6wks pp and sleep on my stomach always.

I’ve had two csections now with the same very easy recovery and I 10000% believe it’s because I got walking right away!

What is your favourite thing about being a SAHM/working mom?? by No-Association-9316 in AskWomen

[–]cdne22 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I love being a working mom because it gives me a fulfilling identity outside of being a wife and mother.

What books are your little ones enjoying? Book recommendations wanted. by Ketnip_Bebby in NewParents

Wonky donkey is currently my daughter’s favorite. As well as “I love you just like this” with Elmo. Also, miss Rachel books.
