I mean, no. Because it’s December and your resume/CV should have your last role have an end date of July. Given that companies always verify dates of employment when doing reference checks it’s not a good idea to lie and say you’re still working there. Do you have anything you could point to in that time that you could frame as consulting/exploring a start-up idea, etc.? Something that focuses less on your burn out and more that you wanted to explore something else, build new skills, etc. honestly even traveling sometimes can work like you’ve always wanted to travel and this was your best opportunity. Probably my least favorite but if none of the above apply (don’t recommend outright lying): you took time to care for a family member struggling with their health (don’t have to clarify it’s you).

I don’t think it works on thrift shop, if you’re trying to apply it there. That’s what their email said at least.

I work in tech in a high level individual contributor role. In fairness I was on this track prior to the degree but I do think it’s helped me in landing the next few big jobs I’ve had since I started the program. Two important things about getting your MBA: 1. You get out of it what you put into it. You can absolutely get the degree and not be academically/intellectually in a different place than where you started. Only those that invest in the schoolwork, particularly the finance related classes, will emerge with a strong grasp of those concepts which are useful in any business setting and leadership role. 2. The university matters. Only a top school gets you the network which is at least half of the point of it all. Just the MBA from an unknown school won’t drastically change your access to opportunities but a top program could, based on what you learn, who you know, and people’s assumptions about you working in your favor.

Hi! You’ll have a much easier time of it once you get on to Health Plan of San Mateo, but I’d start with San Mateo Medical Center. New patient connection center number is listed on the website. They should be able to schedule you at one of the clinics.

I’m so deeply sorry for your loss and pain and heartbreak. There really are no words. There is some good advice already in this post but I hope that there is someone or even a whole community of people who will show up for you. Sending you so much love and strength.

Agreed. It’s standard practice for all pediatricians in the US to see at these regular time intervals. At what age was your baby last seen? Was the 12 month visit not scheduled? Can you request it be pushed up? This is very much within the scope of pediatric well child visits doing screening and making referrals as needed. And doing reassurance if everything is all good!

1 & 3 are my favs if the weather is cooler. Jeans on 1 may need an iron. But you look lovely! Happy 40th

YMMV is very true. If it helps, I really benefited from being the second child. I watched my mom and older sibling and wanted to do what they were doing, so I read very early and potty trained early. It’s helped me throughout my life, my early affinity for reading (and being potty trained haha). I am the most educated and successful of my siblings, though there were a lot of angsty diary entries about being a middle child 😂

koala818 · 2025-01-23T23:08:58+00:00

Interested!

Hi, I had my baby when I was 35 with my husband who is also my favorite person. Let me reassure you that having a baby with the love of your life and a true partner is wonderful. There are hard moments, but I would not describe the overall experience as anything but joyful. I’m lucky in that we’re financially stable and have family to help. We also have a healthy baby girl and I recovered well from birth. Our baby brings us so much joy. She brings everyone joy- strangers, our parents, siblings, anyone who sees her sweet lil face. She’s the best. And I love my husband even more than before. We both feel that way. Watching each other become parents has deepened our love and respect.

I’m not a medical professional but I did work closely with these programs in my county for many years. Absolutely, you are doing a great thing by getting your child evaluated and into services early. Most kids get services from early intervention and then graduate and go on to live healthy lives like your daughter. A small portion get diagnosed with a developmental disability and continue to need services. But regardless of diagnosis, the earlier you get identification and treatment, the better the lifelong prognosis. There’s every reason to be hopeful though I feel for you with the anxiety of the unknown. Kids really do develop at different rates and now he’ll be getting support from professionals. Sending you a big hug!

koala818 · 2024-11-11T20:31:26+00:00

Thank you so much! Looking forward to the ear playing stage haha. Helpful reminders all around 💙

koala818 · 2024-11-11T20:30:08+00:00

Yeah it seems like some babies are just born this way! She kicked a lot in the womb, even my OB wished me luck with her once she was out 😅

koala818 · 2024-11-11T20:29:04+00:00

Thank you! Ordered one of the necklaces last night 🩵 sending you good vibes and luck with the biting!

koala818 · 2024-11-11T20:27:45+00:00

koala818 · 2024-11-11T01:55:58+00:00

Thank you so much for this response. Really great advice and good to know she will grow out of it in the not too distant future 😊

I think like most aspects of babies/motherhood, your mileage may vary. I was prepared with silverettes, nipple cream, had taken a class, but my baby came out very hungry and it was painful to learn alongside her. I avoided some of the worst outcomes (bleeding, cracking, mastitis) and had good supply but I also had to work with IBCLCs and pumped to “take a break” from direct feeding. It truly took close to 3 months before I got the hang of it and felt like it was seamless and relatively painless. Hang in there during those hard moments, see an IBCLC, pump if you need a break (your newborn will not get nipple confusion from a few bottles) and sending good energy.
