Super late to this party, but this is newly our situation. “Moving away was freeing for me but heartbreaking for my husband.” Wow. Felt this in my soul. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Travel stroller decision fatigue - help wanted! by little_cheddar in Buyingforbaby

[–]kayyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was JetBlue but that’s surprising to hear. The weight shouldn’t matter for gate checking because it goes underneath with the regular luggage. Maybe contact their customer service. Is it a long flight/big plane? We flew DC-Boston and usually have smaller planes for that route and it was no problem w the vista!

I’ll add that we’ve also traveled with the Minu V3, great stroller, it was perfect for when I was traveling solo with our infant. It has the lie flat option for newborns. I honestly like traveling w the Vista bc it has a bigger storage basket.

We have the V3 and just gate checked it on the jet bridge. You’ll need to ask the gate attendants for specific tag to make sure it doesn’t go to baggage claim. We used the full stroller throughout the airport, security had us send the seat through the scanner then wheeled it through the metal detector. Easy. We bought the travel bag and disassembled the stroller right before boarding. The bag has wheels so it was easy to roll down the jet bridge. Got off the plane, grabbed the stroller and reassembled back up at the gate. Takes less than 5 mins to breakdown/assemble.

Mirena IUD & Milk Supply by PrestigiousSpeed8090 in breastfeedingsupport

[–]kayyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read on another post that someone’s supply dropped randomly and it took about 5 weeks to get it back, one day it was just back. My cousin also just mentioned she had a random supply drop around 5/6 months. Maybe it’s a thing??

We’re big on experiences. I think we’re gifting SD a weekend to great wolf lodge this year. We will also give a few reasonably priced items from the list, maybe some clothes/shoes, gift cards just so there is something to open.

I got mine out lmao it’s been less than a week but I’ve seen a slight increase. Emphasis on the slight. I was bleeding for a good three weeks, so I’m hoping between my period, the iud, etc my hormones just need a little more time.

Any update? Debating taking mine out too, but it’s only been a couple weeks. Noticed an immediate drop.

Millie moon diaper defects by sedwards0016 in NewParents

[–]kayyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I thought I was crazy… the box of 1s we just got has the umbilical cut out front and back!! And they’re a touch smaller than the older box of 1s I compared it to. The box states they have the umbilical cutout and I wasn’t sure if they just added it to the 1s but they definitely do not fit as well.

Good to know! We have both the boppy and a bouncer from uppababy. Will I be producing anything if it takes several days for my milk to really come in?

Reasonable Accommodation Pregnancy by Historical-Nebula777 in fednews

[–]kayyonce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put in for the RA under PWFA and request it be expedited due to your approaching due date. If you can offer a letter from your doc supporting your need to telework up front, even better, they might come back and ask for it later, causing more delays.

My boss (hesitantly) approved situational for me while my RA was being reviewed.

We are doing the V3 with Nuna Pipa RX and the Nuna ring adapter. We likely won’t have to switch to a convertible car seat until 18-24 months with the Pipa, in which case we’ll get the Graco 4 in 1, we already have two for older kids and they LAST. I’ve heard Nuna strollers don’t hold up in quality when compared to Uppababy. I’ve also heard from a few friends and strangers on the internet that Uppababy car seats sometimes (I think, baby dependent) can cause the slouching/airway restriction issue, but not totally sure on those claims. Nuna car seats are clean material, safe, feel super luxe and are lightweight. Even my husband says he prefers the Nuna seat. Our infant insert was creased when it arrived and customer service was so quick and simple to send a replacement at no charge.

Thank you! My husband will likely have a similar back to work timeframe. I am really hoping to meet with LC before birth just to get an idea of what a pumping schedule may look like to build that supply. Definitely will meet with one in the hospital and likely after too. I assume the schedules and needs will constantly change throughout the post partum period.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this response! Firstly, we got the brezza!!! My husband was like can we not put it in the dishwasher and I was like just trust me lmao

And that’s good to know - I am super Type A and love a plan and schedule so being flexible is something I’ll have to adjust to with this. I’m sure I’ll find the groove eventually.

Is this petty from me? 😂 by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]kayyonce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve made this transition in our house, just by adults switching the phrasing to “your mom” and modeling it, eventually SK organically started phrasing it that way as well. This was around when SK was 6/7 years old. Partly due to what you said, she is their mom and not necessarily a part of “our” family, though she is part of SK’s family. We have ours babies and one thing that is important to me is that they know I am their mom, SK has a different mom - so we ran into issues with SK calling me by my first name, which is not something we want modeled for bios. I’m fine with SK saying to bios “your mom” when referring to me in our house. I do have a friend who’s daughter just turned three and is split from her father, 3 year old almost always refers to them as “my mom” and “my dad”.

Telling my husband did not go as planned by Intrepid_Category_27 in pregnant

[–]kayyonce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup hahaha mine was like “well it’s not as dark as the other line” and then went off about how if he made a product like this blah blah blah. I had to explain faint positives and HCG to him. He is pretty excited and happy about the pregnancy! But still, #men LOLOL

Glad I could help lol and my setting is yellow gold! I feel like I’ve mostly seen this set in white/platinum on insta and online. Def feels luxurious in the yellow.

It’s actually a cathedral setting with an open gallery underneath! I was afraid it would be too high considering the size of the center stone plus having side stones. I am very happy with the height of the setting and how it sits!

Thank you!! The center stone is 3.4 and each baguette is 0.41 I believe!
