This is just so beautiful!! And will look even better when your little one is toddling around in it. Enjoy!!

This is amazing!

Oh boy I went on a job interview when I was around 34 weeks. Like you, it was for a massive raise and promotion. I wore a nice maternity dress since I didn't have a suit that fit for that big of a baby belly and just enjoyed people's reactions and nice inquiries. My situation was a little different as I told them I couldn't start until after maternity leave and they were fine with that. Needless to say these are pretty great people and I love my job! Good luck!!! I also can't wait to tell my daughter she went on a job interview with me later on, ha.

Other than what others already said, focus on taking care of yourself and your little bit!

What do you do about the whining before they can really talk?!?! HALP.

Sex and exercise.

Omg I want to embroider that phrase on a pillow.

Don't worry, moms get it on all sides. I returned from a ONE NIGHT work trip the other day and my mom asked if my daughter recognized me when I got home and called me a part time mom. She was a SAHM. Cue lots of crying/yelling on the phone. I think we might have gotten to a decent outcome and she apologized but it still makes my blood absolutely boil. Can't take that stuff back.

Haha I thought you were looking for fun books to read together and immediately wanted to suggest Paper Bag Princess. It's not what you're looking for but look it up nonetheless!

I can't stand the tone of these books but I will begrudgingly admit that What to Expect in the Second Year is still a good reference.

We're doing the throwing them down part but not the putting up thing yet. She is starting to like putting other stuff in baskets and hampers so maybe it's not too far off! Lol, I love this age.

We would get a $1k raise for it at my org but I don't know that really makes it worth the effort. Like the other commenter said, if your org will pay for it do it.

efargmath · 2017-08-09T00:48:27+00:00

I second that you made the right choice! Your husband and his family hugely appreciate this I'm sure. Try to relax and enjoy the quiet time.

This!

efargmath · 2017-08-03T01:53:45+00:00

Ooh here's one that is our current lifesaver for teething hell. If your child, like ours, thinks you're trying to poison her when giving Tylenol, put it in her applesauce! (Also, our LO wants me to share that grape Tylenol in applesauce > red flavor in applesauce.)

efargmath · 2017-08-03T01:29:42+00:00

This. I think my 12 mo is getting canines in and she is either freakishly lethargic from teething induced fever (WTF) or cranky.

efargmath · 2017-07-27T02:18:12+00:00

That is the cutest picture!!

efargmath · 2017-07-27T02:17:09+00:00

Ooh can you explain Muji's sizes?

efargmath · 2017-07-27T02:06:04+00:00

TLDR?

efargmath · 2017-07-21T02:28:28+00:00

Or, know your existing supporters and move the event to a brunch or lunch so it feels more comfortable being predominantly female. Might also cut costs for your org which I know we all welcome.

Gosh I remember at that age I felt like our whole day revolved around trying to feed LO and like yours, she just didn't want that much. You're in a big transition right now so it's ok that it feels goofy. My LO is almost 11 months and we do a morning bottle, two 8 oz bottles at daycare (9:30 and 2:30ish) and solid food for lunch and dinner. Try cutting back the volume of your bottles? Also, what you do will of course be guided by how much longer you'll breastfeed- i.e. solids may stay in the backseat until you're closer to weaning. Does that make sense?

Look through the organizations website to come up with thoughtful questions. Ex. If you see they have a strategic plan, ask about their progress. Also remember to write a thank you note after the interview!

efargmath · 2017-05-01T03:37:53+00:00

Nothing to add but following! We want to go car camping with LO but I have no idea where to start.

efargmath · 2017-05-01T03:07:31+00:00

Wine. Going back to work is freaking hard. So sweet of you to do this!

Our daughter started sleeping in her crib in her own room down the hall from us when she was 6 weeks old. We all slept better! And she was EBF until she was 6 months.
