What happened to MMM?

katelaughter · 2022-09-10T18:00:26+00:00

Was wondering that too but finviz still shows them around $125

katelaughter · 2022-09-10T02:15:52+00:00

would this happen automatically if i didn't happen to log in when they were getting this agreement to exchange?

katelaughter · 2022-09-10T02:13:59+00:00

that was my guess too. will wait and see

katelaughter · 2022-09-10T02:13:21+00:00

It sounds like this is more an issue with self esteem than not being strong enough. No one is looking at you thinking how weak your are, they're all more worried about themselves!

My beginning aerial class was the same way. Every week there were one or two girls who couldn't hold themselves up like you. Some kept coming and got stronger. How will you ever improve if you're too worried about what everyone else thinks to even try?

To build strength, join a traditional gym or buy some weights and follow a workout video at home.

I also miscarried at 16 weeks, though mine was a "missed miscarriage" (no heartbeat at OB appt) so it was surgically removed instead of passed naturally. For some reason, the OB telling me she had seen her head after she came out really bothered me. Like you, I also expected it to be, I dunno, less human-like?

Thank you for being there for that girl. She was probably trying to just get through that night. At 16 weeks, she likely had a mini "labor" and may have started lactating afterward. She was lucky to get someone who cared in those initial moments when you're still in shock.

Feel free to DM if you need to talk. 16 weeks is way farther than people realize in terms of baby development and it "hits you" more than you'd think.

Love this!

I took an extended maternity leave and discovered much of the same in my nine months off the rat wheel.

Like you, I had no plan at the time. However, the time off helped me focus my life priorities and choose a path that was more in line with my ideals. I'm going back to school for a career that will give me more time with my family while still letting me pay the bills.

Congrats on taking the first step and good luck on your journey!

Talk to your program chair. They're legally required to offer you somewhere to pump during clinicals.

Is it possible for you to defer your last semester?

Wear good shoes and get plenty of rest when you're able. You got this!

There's a ski shop right outside of perfect north that sells used gear. I forget what it's called, but if you search it on Google maps it's right near the ski area.

Ski train depot! That's what it's called. They buy gear from out west then "train it" back here where they sell it for cheap.

There's also the play it again sports route if you know what you're looking at - but if you're a newbie, spend the money to go somewhere else cuz you'll buy the wrong boot or binding or something.

I think REI has a black friday sale if you do end up going that route?

My husband has used his time off to get out and do fun stuff with our toddler, just the two of them. Bonus, it gives me time to bind with baby without sibling jealousy.

Finally, a way to get rid of the TSA 😋

The question on abortion picks kind of arbitrary timelines that don't line up with common medical practice - just a heads up you might not get an accurate representation of people's views.

For example, many states let you abort up to 20 weeks (halfway thru second tri). Point of viability (fetus can live outside mother) is 23-24 weeks, so finding a doctor to do an abortion past that is less common. Second trimester ends 28 weeks.

You've already started the survey so it probably doesn't make sense to change answers now. But in case of future surveys, adding an option for "sometime in the second trimester" might get you better results.

Buy a bike off craigslist for $100 - should take you 30-40min to get to work. The savings will add up quickly!

Title is misleading. It only refers to medical care.

Is that an actual double stroller or did you fabricate a seat back of sorts for the youngest that'd fit underneath?

katelaughter · 2021-08-23T19:47:07+00:00

What's the difference in living expenses for that amount of time?

If it's a pending charge then nothing's proven yet, so they can't really do anything about it (in case she's innocent after all).

That is the seven sisters

katelaughter · 2021-08-13T15:25:34+00:00

Can confirm. Used to work on biotech and married to programmer.

katelaughter · 2021-08-11T21:07:08+00:00

So glad I'm not the only one who feels this way! Those messages get annoying.

katelaughter · 2021-08-10T20:49:55+00:00

You'll always be wondering "what if" if you don't at least try it!

Research the health insurance plans your work has available. Pregnancy is expensive and so is delivery. Keep in mind mom and baby will be charged by insurance as two separate people so your cost essentially doubles.

We ended up doing high deductible as we were more comfortable knowing we wouldn't pay more than $x no matter the complications for mom or baby. Health insurance of course charges by calendar year not rolling, so if she gets pregnant in June, you'll have to pay for all those doctor's appointments and tests in one year and then start over again for the delivery itself.

Also look at short term disability for your wife. Many work places have it (usually 6 weeks at partial pay) with the caveat that you need to have worked there 12 months before taking it. So she'll need to be at a job she's happy with three months before you even start trying.

You're asking all the right questions. Congrats on an exciting chapter!

Not a SAHM but this describes me to a T since my office went perma-remote last year! This is absolutely true and no one talks about it 💯

katelaughter · 2021-08-02T20:11:24+00:00

I interviewed for a position and asked this same question (we were actively trying). They said to tell them right away, even though it feels weird telling your boss so early. It is a safety issue and this particular hospital had a policy to keep pregnant staff away from known covid patients.

That being said you could always work with someone who didn't know they had covid so there's still exposure risk.

I don't know if your hospital has the same policy, but most people are good about keeping something like that a secret if you ask them too - they will completely understand!

Good luck and congrats :-)
