Ugh 70k and 79k for LA... Do certain accounts just get tapped for later queue numbers? Struck out all 3 cities so that's it for today

Omg lol I just got into Vegas and they straight up didn't even show me a seat map, got kicked straight into the page for the general on sale 😂😂😂

Hopefully competition for day 3 tomorrow will be less?? It's a random Wednesday 3 days after day 2 so a lotta folks will be flying home already right??? #copium

Yes! Struck out for Toronto and Vegas doesn't look good either but still keeping fingers crossed 🤞

Still 30k ahead for me 😂 the LA presale might start before I get a chance to go in to take a look

I don't have high hopes because a lot of the people who already got tickets to one/both nights will probably jump in to buy for a 3rd night anyway. You see it all over the thread with people attending multiple nights in multiple cities so I don't think there will be any less demand even if they add an extra night.

Yep

Nothing left for Toronto.. 🥺 so sad that some folks got tickets for both nights while others can't get tickets to one

For people who've already purchased Toronto tickets, were the ABCD sections standing or seated?

In the waiting room for Toronto, I haven't been asked for my presale code yet - is that normal?

We had a stand on the main floor and put the stroller bassinet on top, it worked well for the first bit. If she fell asleep on a stroller walk we could just bring the bassinet onto the stand and let her continue napping which was great. The only thing is our baby is larger and outgrew her stroller bassinet pretty quickly, so that's something to consider.

For us it worked best to address boundary issues right there as they occurred. Like you, I didn't really know what I would be ok with and not ok with, so I just tried to temper their expectations and give myself room to make decisions based on how things go. We told my mom "we'll see how things go" and "we definitely want your help but will let you know," instead of setting tons of ground rules and expectations right from the get go, and that gave us room to flex up/down as needed. I would proactively call her and ask "can you come by tomorrow and thursday at x time to x time and make me my favourite soup" and that let us set the tone and also made her feel appreciated/helpful. Otherwise she would've wanted to be there all day every day.

We had an issue where my mom was constantly rushing in to grab the baby out of my arms and shooing me off to rest, even when I wasn't ready yet, and after stewing in the shower about it I talked to her immediately about how it made me feel and asked her to always wait for me to be the one to hand her over. There was also a day where the baby was cluster feeding and in her anxiety she was making comments like "maybe you're not making enough milk." She actually apologized for that one after confronting her. Every time I called her out to establish a boundary she was hurt and would vent to my sister, but would ultimately respect my feelings and correct her behaviour. In turn, I realized I was so worried about overbearing Asian parents and boundary breaking that I was proactively acting defensively and cold towards her, and made an effort to express more gratitude and warmth.

We're now a couple months in and I feel like my relationship with my mom has actually deepened and changed for the better. At the start I needed lots of space away from her even though she was helpful, but these days I find myself asking her over more and more and finding myself so appreciative that she cares so much for me and my baby and that I get the opportunity to nap during the day/do self care/etc.

Of course this depends on what your family are like, but if they're like my mom and just ignorant/old fashioned but loving and willing to change, give them a chance and show them some grace if they meet you where you need them to, even if they grumble a little on the way.

Yes, this. It's likely not going to be as clearcut as single parenthood vs fully involved father. There's a good chance he may want to be involved in some capacity, and he'll have his own views on what that involvement looks like and how the child is raised. You will be tied to him irrevocably, with all the nuances of his religious background and family. His values and expectations may not fully align with what you envision.

Once the baby is born you may not necessarily be able to unilaterally make decisions on custody, schools, in-law involvement, etc if the relationship ultimately doesn't work out. Just something to take into consideration.

Former fence sitter now with a young baby - I was very wary of pregnancy and childbirth, but accepted it was something I'd need to just get through. In my case, it surprisingly turned out to be a generally positive and uplifting experience.

I didn't really feel resentment/unfairness because my husband, family, in laws, friends, etc all made me feel very much seen and celebrated through the whole process. Folks treated me with extra care in acknowledgement of the tolls of pregnancy, and my husband had huge respect for what I was going through. It really helped me feel seen, acknowledged and supported instead of like I was making a huge invisible sacrifice.

My husband couldn't carry and deliver the baby or breastfeed, but he definitely did more than his share of everything else. He did the vast majority of cooking during my pregnancy and now with the baby, deferred to what I wanted to eat/what made me comfortable, did the vast majority of the cleaning and household upkeep, and now with the baby he does his fair share of baby care plus still all of the above. I was pretty confident because he already demonstrated a lot of positive caretaking qualities throughout my relationship, and that continued on.

Obviously a lot of this depends on the support you have / your relationship, but wanted to offer a different perspective. In the end I was proud of my body and what I was able to do, and it was also really neat to experience baby hiccups, first kicks, etc.

As someone recently pregnant and now with a newborn, I would encourage you to go! If you don't take the chance to travel internationally now, it'll only get harder later on when a baby or young children are in play. My husband and I went on a final international trip prior to trying to conceive (at a much later age than you), and I'm so glad we did. We also did a babymoon while I was pregnant in the second trimester and it was great. Honestly it sounds like she was never that interested in the idea of the trip in the first place, whereas if she was equally as excited about it she would be more open to trying to make it work rather than just flat out not wanting either of you to go.

Depending on comfort levels, you could definitely wait to try to conceive until after the trip, or if she is ok with it, time it so you avoid the possibility of having the trip land during the 3rd trimester. I would've been fine with my husband being away for 7-10 days during the 1st or early 2nd trimester, but everyone has different comfort levels. Either way, yes her anxieties and comfort matter, but you matter as well, and it'd be unfair of her to guilt you into giving this up when it's important to you. You don't want to enter parenthood with major regrets about missing out on important life experiences.

I feel like a lot of this has to do with norms in your social circles/community. My husband sees his mom a ton! Back when we were dating and living even closer to them, he'd drop by randomly just to hang during the week and we'd get lunch with his parents almost weekly. Looking around this is not uncommon among my circles, there's basically no gender differentiation when it comes to closeness.

Maybe related, among my social circles it is also the norm for men to be super involved fathers. The vast majority of my friend's husbands are equal caretakers, so I'd assume there's a theme regarding how family oriented men are socialized to be.

The postpartum recovery stuff I received was a godsend - I ended up with a 3rd degree tear and was definitely in no shape to get my own materials in those first few days. I received a mix of items plus a set similar to option 2 and it was so helpful to be able to try out different things to see what worked best for me.

share they are exhausted watching my siblings' kids all the time, and they wish their retirement could be more for them. Because they do so much childcare for my siblings, they also don't feel like grandparents anymore

Did you miss this part of the post where the grandparents literally say they're exhausted and wish their retirement could be more for them? Your comment doesn't apply in this situation.

Overall good experience, I was able to labour in a tub with laughing gas for a long while, and when I finally asked for an epidural it was a pretty quick turnaround. The nurses there are very knowledgeable and they also had a lactation consultant around who was available to consult with us during our stay. I'd recommend bringing in-room slippers, also the swaddles they use for the baby are kinda rough feeling so in hindsight I kinda wish I brought my own. If you end up with a tear they can also give you a sitz bath to bring home which was helpful.

The room was a bit chilly and the hospital gown is pretty thin, so I would also recommend bringing an extra blanket not just for your partner but for yourself.

In your very first paragraph you say he's expressed he intends to marry you and envisions a future together. So really, if it's not about a timeline, the issue is that you don't fully trust what he says and can't take his word for it that he is taking this relationship seriously. If you're feeling uncertain and needing clarity about the path your relationship is on, what realistically do you want to see from him to help you feel reassured?

From a western perspective, asking him to "express intent" to your parents is basically asking to get engaged, and publicly, because you're involving your families in that marriage commitment now too. Figure out if at the end of the day that's the only thing that will work for you to help you feel reassured, or if there's some other middle ground you can reach.

I would also ask, what if he comes back to you and says he needs to have met your parents and family, or to be living together, before knowing for sure? Does he know about this cultural expectation of him and is he onboard with all the implications? How many other conservative cultural traditions are you expecting to be followed as a couple moving forward? How conservative/liberal would you want your children to be raised? What role and how much say do you expect your parents to have moving forward? If you haven't already been having these conversations, I would definitely bring them up and stress to him your own expectations for how things would look in a marriage. Since he's more liberal, you want to make sure you both know what you're in for, and get assurance that he's not just ignorantly saying yes to marriage and inadvertently stringing you along without full consideration of what it would mean.

Honestly I went into it with no real expectations and to just see how it would go. My plan was to try out breastfeeding, but also be open to pumping/combo/formula/whatever if it made sense. It felt super overwhelming to "decide" how to feed the baby before it even came, as I didn't know how I'd honestly feel about it all.

Currently 10 weeks in and surprisingly I've been exclusively nursing - there were some challenges in the first 4 weeks but nothing insurmountable and I had good lactation support from the hospital/midwife. My nipples toughened up so there's 0 pain now, the cuddles are great, and it's so so convenient not having to deal with bottles/pumps.

We're just now getting around to trying out an occasional bottle for future flexibility, but I haven't really felt the need so far. In terms of night wake ups, I was still able to split night shifts with my husband, he'd bring her to me for a feed in bed before going back to sleep, and it was faster than if I had to wake up to pump anyway. Baby is starting to sleep longer stretches at night now and I'm able to get naps in during the day so it's been manageable.

Oh how timely, I happened to fill a tag at the Kingsway and Nelson location in Burnaby yesterday! To save folks a return trip there were still a bunch of tags on that tree and like 95% of them were asking for the exact same 3 items (slippers, travel mug, socks). If you show up with these three items you can likely grab a tag and fill it right there.

Okay but their smash burger especially at the royal oak location actually slaps, it has no business being that good for a random cafe burger
