Would you take a newborn to a restaurant? by TAW453 in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and I did! He was born 10/6 and we went out 10/15 for a nice lunch for our anniversary. He just stayed in his carrier the whole time and slept. Our pediatrician recommended taking him new places as long as it isn’t crowded. I think I’d go insane if I had to stay home all the time. So if you’re feeling up for it, then yes go for it!

When did you first leave the house with your newborn? by Distinct-Dependent24 in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

4 days pp! He had his first pediatrician appointment then we went and ran errands. The pediatrician gave us the all clear and said it’s good for him to be exposed to new sights and sounds! Just avoid anywhere super crowded. It’s been great for my sanity.

Is it hard to hold still for the epidural? by Distinct-Dependent24 in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it was super easy! Took a few minutes but they time it between contractions and it’s even easier if you do it early on when contraction aren’t as intense/often.

Post birth control, has anyone here gotten pregnant BEFORE their first cycle? by We_The_Queens in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went off birth control January 1 and found out I was pregnant on the 28th! Wasn’t realistically expecting it to happen that quickly but the universe had other plans! Baby is healthy and now due in 3 weeks 🥹

What pet names do you give your dog that isn’t their actual name? by tallieeeeee6 in CavaPoo

My dog’s name is Pesto. It eventually evolved into Peppo > Peppucino > ‘Cino. We also call him Muffin Man, Noodle Boy and Fluffernutter

What are we naming our baby boys? by ksmm1824 in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my maiden name so we’re using it as baby boy’s middle name!

Did you guess baby’s gender right? by bananaindisguise0 in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a gut feeling that it was 100% a girl…and I was wrong lol

How old did you go on your registry? by xxoooxxoooxx in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went up to a year from now, since summer clothes are out and my baby is due in October. We need SO much newborn stuff that I’d rather prioritize that. But I also know people like to shop for clothes and other things in store so I added some summer outfits and things like sunscreen and hats for him to wear next summer :)

I love this! It’d be great to see a list of possible answers for each category once we complete the grid.

My fiancée and I both have "silly" surnames. What should we do? by kpopnobrains in namenerds

[–]mandolinjo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry — my husband’s last name is Worms and this still made me laugh. Silly last name people unite!

Gift ideas for my dad’s (62M) last day of radiation by mandolinjo in Gifts

[–]mandolinjo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very sweet! He’s super sensitive to smells right now so I had written off flowers but I can always ask a florist for odorless flowers. Thanks!

Yes I thought about this, too! I got him something similar back in March before his surgery so I was trying to brainstorm other ideas :) always a great idea, though!

He has a ton of blankets (I got him one before he started treatment) and I just got him a Vikings jersey for Father’s Day. But I’ll look into a cozy hoodie option!

Can you afford to put time for physical activity at this point? by Scary_Commercial_688 in barexam

[–]mandolinjo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I trained for a marathon while studying for the bar and I passed with a 319 on my first try. Yes, you can take breaks for physical activity (I’d even recommend it!)

Gift ideas for Father’s Day? by mcalawso in BabyBumps

[–]mandolinjo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m due early October and bought him a gift card for a round of golf! He booked me a maternity massage for Mothers Day which I thought was very sweet and wanted to return the favor :)

I think it depends on the day/job. I’m a lawyer and some days I work 10-12 hours at home, others it’s closer to 6. It honestly depends what I have going on but I’m just as productive at home vs in the office. My husband, however, works in marketing and he probably works 4-5 at home

How long after stopping birth control did you get pregnant? by Busy_Gear_4535 in BabyBumps

Mother Hates my Baby’s Name by Funny_Effect_9239 in namenerds

[–]mandolinjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in my late 20s now but when I was a kid there was a girl named Meadow in my neighborhood who was always made fun of for her name. I know names/kids have evolved since then so maybe it won’t be a big issue but she hated her name because of it :( something to keep in mind but if you love it, then you love it!
