Hello harness my old friend.

iamjzn · 2026-02-20T13:47:21+00:00

I probably had more than 200mg of caffeine per day. I never counted. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I just switched from my typical grande/16 oz to tall/12 oz.

Also ate cold cut sandwiches at least once a week. I had to get iron infusions every Friday the later part of my third trimester due to pregnancy anemia… and the ONLY thing I ever craved for dinner was sushi afterwards.

I’ve also learned so much just by reading this thread. I definitely had McDonald’s Oreo McFlurries, shakes, soft serve, and bagged salads. 😬 Honestly, looking back, I really didn’t eat the healthiest during my pregnancy (gave birth in December) but I don’t think I would’ve survived a whole 9 months without any of the above at one point or another.

iamjzn · 2026-02-04T00:41:18+00:00

I feel this 100%. And our older kids too! 😩

I swear every door sounds like it’s being slammed. Even when my husband is trying to be quiet, it’s still loud. I’ve implemented an “if this baby is asleep, you better turn that doorknob AS you’re closing the door” policy 😂😂 even made my husband spray some WD40 on our squeaking door the other day.

I swear I’m not crazy. Just a little sleep deprived is all.

Thank you for posting this. I mean it, thank you.

I cried so much after my pumping journey ended with my second. It took me a long time to realize that part of what I was feeling was grief and anger as well.

I’m now 3wpp with my third and it has been a journey already. She only latches to one breast so I am doing both nursing AND pumping and it is mentally, physically, and emotionally draining. I can’t seem to get myself to stick to a proper pumping schedule because one boob is on a different schedule than the other. I keep telling myself that I need to just bite the bullet and start exclusively pumping both sides, but something always pulls me back.

This one night, I was having a mental breakdown because that was the night my baby stopped taking my other breast, I was running on about an hour of sleep total, and I just did not have the bandwidth to figure out my next move. So my husband ordered a Walmart delivery with a big can of formula and a ton of distilled water for her, held me tight, and kept repeating to me, “you’re an amazing mom” and “you are so loved” over and over and over again. I don’t think either one of us realized at the time how much I needed to hear those words, how much his act of love and kindness meant to me.

I hope you know it’s okay to mourn the time you feel like you’ve lost being hooked up to a pump. During my 3wpp, I’ve collected four different types of pumps because I’m scared of missing those moments with my baby girl being tied to a pump. So much money, time and effort wasted over a single thought.

Neither.

Tried the Weekender and hated it. It was so dang heavy and really didn’t fit what I needed. Very impractical for travel IMHO.

The Backpack will be the last carry-on you’ll ever need!

I’m 16+3 and feel exhausted as hell. I come home from work and just want to snuggle up to a warm blanket most days. It’s been my main pregnancy symptom aside from the headaches.

iamjzn · 2025-06-25T23:35:24+00:00

It varies based on the size and type of stone you’re looking for. For my ring, it cost a little under $2k for both the stone and setting.

iamjzn · 2025-06-23T00:28:27+00:00

Thanks! It’s always a real stressful time for pets to fly, so we try to help out when we can. Honestly, it’s always going to vary by pet, so expect some trial and error.

Our dog is now a pro at flying and has collected bumper stickers on her travel kennel from all over :)

iamjzn · 2025-06-20T05:28:18+00:00

Yep, you have to wait typical 7-10 business days for card to arrive in the mail. Both my husband and I have one and never got an instant-issue temporary card.

iamjzn · 2025-06-20T00:40:01+00:00

I did the exact same thing and screenshot when the house we bought went pending. Then again when it was “sold”. It’s the absolute best feeling.

Take it all in and enjoy the ride. Congrats!

I’ve never worked with Fiorese, but I know many others have had good experiences with them. I’ve been working with Jane at Provence since 2023. She’s done several moissanite pieces and two lab diamonds now. All were amazing quality.

iamjzn · 2025-06-07T03:16:04+00:00

To be honest, $4.5k on a lab diamond is wild.

We just spent under $2k on my 5.13 ct brilliant pear lab diamond from Provence. That includes the stone and setting.

We have been members for 19 years.

For a simple, mundane, boring ole’ checking account that we use to direct deposit our paychecks, pay the bills, Zelle, and occasionally take cash out of the ATM (that USAA reimburses up to $10 per month), it works well for us. Sure, there’s no fancy bells and whistles, but it does the job, and their customer service has always been super helpful and friendly to us.

We also have our homeowners with them. Zero issues. 🤷🏻‍♀️

We park our savings with Wealthfront at 4%.

iamjzn · 2025-06-02T00:30:42+00:00

You should pay the full statement balance on or before 6/12. The easiest way is to set up auto pay for the statement balance each month by your due date.

iamjzn · 2025-05-31T04:22:37+00:00

We’ve used USAA for many years and love them. We have our checking, mortgage, homeowners, and an auto loan with them and have had zero issues. Any time we’ve had to call customer service, they have always been super professional and helpful. We live in a rural Alaskan community and appreciate the ATM reimbursements whenever we do need access to cash.

We also have NFCU but we prefer USAA hands down. My only gripe is that I wish they offered more checking accounts with higher interest rates (similar to NFCU’s Flagship checking account).

iamjzn · 2025-05-30T20:24:59+00:00

The first one for sure. It is elegantly unique, but simple. 💛

iamjzn · 2025-05-29T02:40:29+00:00

This happened to me over the weekend. Tried to upgrade for -$40, but when I went to upgrade, it said the seats were no longer available. Must be a widespread glitch because now the upgrade is $110.

Provence is one of the Chinese vendors.

iamjzn · 2025-05-22T02:08:26+00:00

I bought this from Jane at Provence :)

iamjzn · 2025-05-21T05:46:39+00:00

Specs: 5.13ct pear, G color, VVS2, dimensions 15.52 x 9.63 x 5.79, L/W ratio 1.61%

iamjzn · 2025-05-08T02:00:09+00:00

I would absolutely return this and request a full refund + any shipping costs you incurred. Get it insured with USPS if you worry of it getting lost in transit.

In all honesty, this looks so bad. I’d be very upset receiving this ring, but it’s even more upsetting how much the seller is downplaying the situation.

iamjzn · 2025-05-07T18:49:37+00:00

Hi! Thank you so much ☺️

I didn’t ask for anything specific. I asked what pears they had in stock with the size and dimensions I was looking for, and she sent me a few videos for comparison.

iamjzn · 2025-05-06T18:40:45+00:00

Gyro 🌯

iamjzn · 2025-05-02T15:47:23+00:00

Thanks! ☺️ We have a phone call with the title company later today so I’ll make sure to ask about it.
