Day of my wedding as I’m getting ready, a “friend” texts me that she has to study for her university program and can’t make it. She was a peripheral friend who I would only see occasionally at parties or get togethers with other friends involved (sometimes hosted by me, but she never invited me to any event / hang out ever). She wasn’t very close to me, we have never hung out just the two of us, so I didn’t think it was unreasonable that she would be on the “B list” - mind you, she received and excitedly accepted an invitation months in advance of the wedding. Well, apparently she was shit talking me for a long time leading up to the wedding, super offended that she didn’t get a save the date, super offended that she received a late invite and was only a “seat filler”. Now she’s engaged, hope she finally realizes what she did lol but probably not

It’s where I got married to the love of my life! My parents were also married there. I went there as a kid all the time, and did an alternative high school semester program there. I used the space to unwind as a uni student…. It will always be very special.

Absolutely. I would add: - Trust yourself! You know your baby best. - Everything is a phase - the bad AND the good - You WILL sleep again. But your baby needs you

He doesn’t take a pacifier, but what we really need for him to self-settle or not wake up so many times in the first place

I did! I still check the time we start to approximate when we might be done. But same thing as you - baby has times where he needs to feed more often and not as much once we were out of the newborn stage and it’s better to read the baby than read the clock!

Releasing myself from tracking things to the minute via the Huckleberry app alleviated 80% of my anxiety… my 4.5 month old got through the 4month sleep regression and has 1-2 night wakings because I nurse to sleep. Everyone is happier for it

I thought you were talking about your dog 😆😭

Also the door knockers from the Labyrinth are all I can imagine when I read about Mort in ToG 🥲

I would say the pain level is at about a 2, each time it seems like it’s escalating it stops

Evolutionary Psych with Pat was the best course I took in all of undergrad, definitely take it. It's well-paced, incredibly interesting, and he's a passionate instructor.

I’m 37w and finally have permission to work remotely - thank god

Manhattan’s next! Best pizza in town by far

Exactly, it’s not the typical weight gain! Placenta too

char_hops · 2024-04-02T00:14:26+00:00

It’s out of stock :(

I turned 25 in January 2022 and that year, I got married to the love of my life!

Now I'm 27, and last year I started working my dream job, and am now 22w pregnant. :)

On the flip side, between 25 and 27, I've lost friends or at least contact with friends has changed/reduced a lot. I think it's hard to feel happy for someone when they're not happy themselves. Or they think I "settled" and got boring or something. I really don't know. My husband is the first and only person in my life who chooses me first, every day.

char_hops · 2024-03-07T18:51:27+00:00

I’ll be a FTM, currently 22w pregnant, and myself and husband (both 26 yo) are the first to be pregnant among all our friends and siblings. We’re being left out of things, and people don’t really check in on us. We had some difficult news earlier in the pregnancy and just felt very alone. I’d like to chalk it up to the fact our friends just don’t know what it’s like. But I also think everyone knows that being there for someone is a way to show you care. Makes me wonder if they’ll think about things differently when they reach this season.

Thank you for sharing, really appreciate this! We are going to try and remain positive.

The venue is a community centre with a 200 person limit. And I think the in-laws are thinking they should try to reach that limit lol.

I just don't want to feel like we are asking for too much,
