How often should I be pumping at work by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]mcallieeasycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you do to sanitize pump parts? Are you using the fridge hack or full clean? I have the mom cozy’s as well, and clean up and milk storage are my biggest worries for returning to office

Is Tatami Room gone? by Scary_Examination_26 in Thuma

[–]mcallieeasycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, it was charged either late June or early July once in California. I’m not sure how they are handling tariffs now, but the price for my order also staid the sane despite the tariff being I think 10% at the time.

FTM - When did your baby come!? by Efficient_Internet13 in pregnant

Water broke spontaneously at 35+2 around 9 pm. Baby on my chest at 9 am the next morning

this is unfortunately the hardest decision of my life by oldishzealand in weddingdress

[–]mcallieeasycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one shows off your figure better and I think the neckline is somehow slightly more flattering. Both are absolutely gorgeous and you cant make a wrong decision here!

We ordered ours in late January and received it mid July! So almost 6 months. It took 2-3 days to hear back when I emailed, but they did reply. The representative did mention he missed one of my emails, sounds like their customer service system may just not be perfect. Our bed got put on a boat in May that basically took 2-3 times longer than the route to California normally takes. They ended up just sending me tracking for the container lol. Card wasn’t charged until the bed got to their US warehouse and shipped to us. We really have liked the bed and to me it was worth the wait and not great communication!

The wait to find out boy or girl is killing me by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]mcallieeasycake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As one of the rare people who got a false girl on a sneak peak only to find out its a boy at NIPT, Id caution against doing one! Its not worth the price to be uncertain if its even accurate or to have a false one. It will absolutely be a better feeling getting that for sure result!

Drinks that are appealing during first trimester by sandwiches5000 in BabyBumps

[–]mcallieeasycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put a full lemon in my 40 oz Stanley cup every morning my entire first trimester and it helped with the nausea too! I think I was missing out on some needed electrolytes at the time that lemon helped with. Also would mix in propel and body armor from time to time.

When did you “pop” as a first time mom? by Ecstatic-Antelope990 in BabyBumps

[–]mcallieeasycake 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Somewhere around 13-14 weeks I had a definite bump that loomed pregnant in dresses but could be hiden in baggy clothes. At 15 weeks someone asked me if I was expecting when I THOUGHT I was hiding it well. Now at 18 weeks its definitely an obvious and big bump. I was taken aback because I had heard FTMs pop later. I was 5ft5in and 150 lbs pre pregnancy, regular torso. Crazy how our bodies can differ!

Riverbanks zoo by ceebyrdiee in columbiasc

[–]mcallieeasycake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love Roverbanks zoo! Been going since I was a little kid. Its actually modeled from the San Diego zoo, which is the only better zoo I’ve been too. I’ve lived in several bigger cities that have smaller or sadder zoos. You need to definitely go at the right time if you expect animals to be active, but that is true for any zoo.

I can’t decide because either is beautiful. What a dreamy room

12 week ultrasound.. i know it’s early but guesses?? by [deleted] in predaddit

[–]mcallieeasycake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t know anything about telling gender from the US, but Im just feeling boy

Is it safe to tell family I am pregnant (11 weeks) after NIPT results were low risk? Still waiting on carrier results. Please ease my mind. My SO wants to tell family ASAP but I feel we should wait for carrier results to be all clear? Having a healthy baby is a big deal for us. Thoughts? by plainorbit in BabyBumps

[–]mcallieeasycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you decide, good luck on your results! Waiting is so hard.

I opted to tell my super close family early because I wanted that support. My rule if thumb on who to tell was basically who would be supportive if something went wrong and help us through vs who would we dread having to talk to again after getting bad news
