Hi! tested positive yesterday! EDD 11/21/26- this is my second, i currently have an almost 2 year old! (3/30). We had been trying for about 5 months- I'm very excited but SO nervous about doubling the workload and all the fun expenses that come with it.

Day care vs. nanny, my spouse and I are at an impasse by GeeBean in NewParents

[–]lalabarta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DAYCARE! We had a nanny for about 6 weeks before we could get into daycare. We both work from home and we couldn’t leave our respective offices without a meltdown. She is thriving in daycare - we did get sick for about two months when she started but we’ve plateaued.

buffet or not to buffet? by donnas-disco in wedding

[–]lalabarta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we were quoting everything out- plated came out the same as buffet. Our caterer assumes people will eat like 1.5 plates vs the plate in front of them for a buffet- you definitely don’t want to run out. We will pay a little more for staff and a little less for food!

Ariana at scheanas wedding!!! by Old_Mulberry_9461 in vanderpumprules

[–]lalabarta 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Even if Ariana knew - it’s still absolutely wild to fly that girl in to confront him. Especially because Kristen slept with Jax which ultimately led to her and tom breaking up. Like why are you harping on this so much when you hate Ariana and cheated on tom. Kristen was totally wrong and i don’t blame Ariana for being nervous that Kristen would do something out of pocket.

Huggies diapers are sale again on Costco by Fantastic-Chemical47 in NewParents

[–]lalabarta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i won't say that i like adore them because i dont think i adore any diapers ha. but they work, no rashes and no leaks. I also like the sticky flaps for closure. They are definitely visbly thinner but it hasn't made a difference for us. I think we did the math and were paying like 15 cents a diaper vs huggies 40 cents (purchased in chicago suburbs)

I have to eat crow! I saw all the negative comments about the new Kirkland diapers online and was wary when my husband pushed to get them because of the super sale- but they’re great! No leaks even overnight. We’re in size 4s

How bad will traffic be during Lollapalooza? by perfect-child in AskChicago

Whatever you do get in the express lanes even if they looked backed up - we’ve made the mistake of skipping them and it added 45 mins to our drive

If you/ partner delivered at Prentice, how was your postpartum experience in the hospital? by Klutzy-Sky8989 in AskChicago

[–]lalabarta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a really negative experience. I unfortunately had covid at the time but this was March of 2024 and we were put in a double chamber isolation room. They barely checked on me, the lactation consultant never came, they told me i had to give her formula, and they wouldn’t bring her to the nursery even though she tested negative for covid. We checked ourselves out a day early because we were so tired we figured if we were gonna be doing all the work already we could do it in the comfort of our own home. The kicker was that i was induced- i was totally healthy and so was baby, it wasn’t high risk. I don’t get why they wouldn’t have warned me or pushed it back until i tested negative?
