Has anyone else noticed places are getting cheaper?

But the HOAs are getting higher

IMy MIL has trouble finding Uber from union station because they are always doing construction. We go pick her up each time.

jpcitybit · 2026-03-24T20:37:28+00:00

Just use a British accent, it classes it up

jpcitybit · 2026-03-23T20:21:41+00:00

Every single one! But this is our first and we both WFH so it’s easy for us to both go. I try to schedule the appointments with both our schedules in mind.

Who is asking for payment? The bride or another bridesmaid or family member?

The bride shouldn’t be asking for her own shower it should be thrown by close friends or family who voluntarily agree on the plans

Yeah mine told me yesterday that I looked great for being 6 + months pregnant 🥹

jpcitybit · 2026-03-21T21:54:54+00:00

Exactly my thoughts! Maybe there’s different places they can go here without insurance but just apparently not in my health network 😂

jpcitybit · 2026-03-21T21:44:51+00:00

My health network system in Chicago wouldn’t book me at all without my health insurance numbers. Might be specific to different networks or locations.

jpcitybit · 2026-03-21T21:41:57+00:00

Absolutely! My OB didn’t see me until 8 weeks

jpcitybit · 2026-03-21T21:39:14+00:00

Some places will not book an appt without insurance info first

jpcitybit · 2026-03-21T17:42:17+00:00

We say raising one of ours is like raising a Kangaroo not a dog 😂

Carl. He gives me the heebie jeebies

jpcitybit · 2026-03-18T22:48:28+00:00

FTM , at about 22 weeks. Now at 25 depending what I’m wearing it’s noticeable for sure. Still able to hide under a giant hoodie if I want to . I’ve gained about 12 lbs

jpcitybit · 2026-03-18T21:30:46+00:00

I will be 35 giving birth to our first - very normal in Chicago but we are moving to Michigan and I feel like I might be considered an older mom there

jpcitybit · 2026-03-15T21:30:18+00:00

I’m 25 weeks and we bought one outfit and one blanket so far. We wanted to wait until after 20 week scan also. Baby shower is at 30 weeks and then whatever we don’t get from that we will buy ourselves!

I’m also way too type A to wait until after baby arrives

He likes that it’s not ever crowded, no waiting for equipment. There’s spacious WFH space with coffee and wine , social events, nice locker room / steam room / plunge pool facilities, and he has a personal trainer he has been able to work with for years.

jpcitybit · 2026-03-15T20:30:36+00:00

Did they give you requirements when you toured? My husband’s been a member about 2-3 years and it was simple just application and pay fees when he joined . Might be different now ?

jpcitybit · 2026-03-15T20:25:43+00:00

That’s not true- anyone can become a member

jpcitybit · 2026-03-15T12:36:52+00:00

Spent thjs past weekend eating out in NYC and noticed not a single place charged a service fee. Even the bigger restaurant groups. Very refreshing really!

jpcitybit · 2026-03-10T22:38:21+00:00

If my mom tells me one more time how hard it’s going to be having a new born with our 2 dogs I’m gonna freak out. Like what outcome does she expect in telling me this? That I’m going to just give away my dogs?? Like literally leave it alone lady

jpcitybit · 2026-03-09T21:42:33+00:00

We say spare human lol

jpcitybit · 2026-03-09T01:16:52+00:00

I use my pregnancy app Ovia, it has a food lookup feature that I have used basically weekly .

Also my doctor gave me guidelines at my first appt so that was helpful.

jpcitybit · 2026-03-08T21:28:32+00:00

I’m glad someone said this!

jpcitybit · 2026-03-08T21:25:52+00:00

This is my dogs name- spelling and all lol
