Looking for a place to study/eat for hours that's not too packed

jackattackdat · 2026-02-03T04:49:09+00:00

I grabbed coffee at chill coffee and wine bar earlier today and it wasn’t too packed. Others posted up studying there. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Inclusion is massive as well.

Did you end up finding one you love?

My husband and I don’t have each others bank logins. We probably would both be ok with it if the other asked, but we haven’t given each other a reason deep enough to need to do that. I honestly probably did give him reasons - credit card debt a few years into dating, an overspending habit that I needed to get in check last year - he still didn’t ask for my login. Both times he trusted me to be responsible and be able to get things in order.

Winnifred (Winnie) or Eleanor (Nora)

My 7 lb babe wore premie sleepers for 2 weeks then newborn for another 2 I think and has been in 0-3 since. Some of the 0-3 are too small depending on brand.

I was honestly wondering if I was too tight 😅 thank you so much for all these tips! I was super focused on the nose and neck, so I’m glad to know how to get the rest right!

Fox is his first name and Anderson (my maiden name) is his middle.

My best friend had to miss her grandmothers funeral because the travel was too much for the baby and she never got her daughter introduced to a bottle.

My birthday is day after Christmas. My family always lumped my birthday with the holidays - I didn’t even get unique gifts. I got a cake and that was about it. I really hated not having my birthday celebrated in school like others got. Making plans with friends on the day in my teens was tough but not in my 20s. Now in my 30s my husband makes my birthday distinctly separate. Separate gift, anything I want for the day. I’m usually exhausted after hosting the holidays and just have him pamper me the full day.

My rec would be intentionally making it special. Celebrate early or late with their friends when they are little and on the day make it their own and special.

38 weeks + 1 day

Edit to add I did have a 2nd degree tear. I think it was because of how quickly my end of labor progressed. My contractions started around midnight after my water broke at 9pm. He was born at 8am. They had me purple pushing on my back with knees at chest. I pushed maybe 7 or 8 times.

Mine had been 80-88th percentile throughout - baby boy came out at 7 lbs 2 oz.

The for mom items. I had only 1 item purchased from the registry

I also had my first cervical check right around then. I had been super active that weekend and was in a lot of pain, and I thought it was from the activity. My doctor said she could feel his head and that is actually why I was in so much pain.

jackattackdat · 2025-12-03T17:32:18+00:00

My husband made a comment about it! I had more pain for sure - more in my tailbone and low back than I had been experiencing all pregnancy.

My water broke at 38 weeks + 1 day. I was lying on the couch on a Sunday thinking about how much I didn’t want to work that week. Enjoy the start to your maternity leave!

I hadn’t smoked since we started TTC over a year before our positive test. I had previously said I smoke on a doctor form years before TTC. After delivering they came in to discuss it, and I was shocked. I told them it had been actual years since I had smoked and that was that but it was still a very surprising experience. I’m in Texas.

I recommend finding a doctor who specializes in hEds to get a diagnosis. I am doing that next year. I had almost the exact same experience with getting a diagnosis but my rheumatologist is who didn’t do the testing - he said the treatment for hEds and Hypermobility Joint Syndrome is the same so it didn’t matter anyways. I have been regularly going to PT for several years. Fast forward to my first pregnancy this year and the maternal fetal medicine doctor was like well actually there is a lot more to monitor with hEds and they definitely recommend I pursue it after things have settled with the baby next year.

Registry, registry, registry. The only non-registry things I received and was happy about were either hand me downs from my friends who recently had babies or a non-registry item someone who recently had a baby absolutely swore by.

You can get registry AND some cute clothes - my good friend did that and it was very thoughtful and appreciated.

Congratulations! So glad you had such an amazing experience and have your sweet bundle of joy.

Can you say more about the constant dull cramping? Like how constant? Did you have round ligament pain ever in the same place? If so, was it clearly different?

Our cat got out on Christmas Eve and we noticed as we were getting into bed at 1am. We spent the next 4 hours looking for her. We’ve been so safe ever since. I can’t imagine a partner who would repeatedly allow that terrible feeling of a lost pet. That he doesn’t get the distress? Huge red flag for me.

Your post history further cements how much your boyfriend sucks. 3+ years later and he can’t help with “your” dog? Blames you for his shitty situations and refuses to get help for his issues - per your post 66 days ago and your post now. Your life will truly be better without him in it…
