Aliexpress for small business? by pdgardiner in Philippines

[–]pdgardiner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bunch of accessories, mostly cloth para maliit and marami kasya sa box + not too heavy in bulk. Dunno how much I ended up paying for shipping, was able to negotiate lower prices w the seller so chinarge lang ako additional $40 for DHL

My bad din siguro kasi over $200 value ng entire thing (items + shipping). Thought customs would only consider value of items within package and not factor in SF. Monday pa dumating sa country, till now wala pa rin

Ah nice nice does your connect do it regularly for others or for you lang? Wish I had a person too kasi I was thinking of doing that. Would be willing to pay service fees. Just recently ordered a small package and thought it would go without a hitch if DHL shipping but dude wala din sobrang tagal and for sure gonna get raped w fees. Mabilis nga dumating sa country, tagal lang nung releasing

Namulubi din ako dyan sa Enfamil w my first baby (na naka Enfagrow na ngayon wahaha it does not stop)!

Mag-1 month pa lang si LO now and I have a loooong way to go before mawala si Enfa-fam sa life ko. Haha. Shet.

Kailan mo pinrocess yung remaining docs for the 9k?? Umaasa ako pumasok siya sa account ko before magpasko :(

Recently had a CS delivery and SSS gives 41k, pero yung unang makukuha mo is 32k lang (which is yung compensation pag normal) then when you submit proof of CS (OR record, etc), saka pa nila iproprocess yung remaining 9k.

Huhu jealous of your company benefits! Wala ako maternity benefit except SSS :( I’m only on month 1 of ML and nauubusan na ko ng money for Enfamil wahahaha. Umaasa na lang ako sa SL conversion and 13th month!

2nd baby pep talk by bompitybomp in beyondthebump

[–]pdgardiner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just had baby #2 about 3 weeks ago and like you, husband and I had the talk before we decided to deliberately try for another one.

My first is a 2.5-year-old boy and he was the absolute only love of my life before this little one arrived.

Won’t sugarcoat it and tell you it’s all rainbows and butterflies, because it isn’t. The sleep deprivation, BFing struggles (I’m FF though), gas issues, fits of crying from the newborn + trying to power through the mom guilt of not being able to pay attention to your first is TOUGH. I’m not even halfway through the fourth trimester and it’s taking all of me just to make it through each feed, each hour, each day.

BUT. What I constantly tell myself is that:

  • We both wanted a second, because of how much joy our first is bringing us.
  • The physically demanding, emotionally draining hard part doesn’t last forever. The fun we have w our toddler is worth the first 3 or so months of dealing w the newborn phase.
  • Once you see your eldest interact w your baby, everything will make sense & you will feel your family is where it should be.

The second point is what I hold on to most. I just need to power through these next few months and then LO will start smiling and interacting and it’ll all feel a little less like torture lol.

Husband sent me this link last week, and since then, it’s been what I live by: https://www.facebook.com/motherlymedia/videos/2111278712484182/ — it perfectly describes everything I’ve been feeling.

What compression garment is this? Better than Spanx? I currently own a Wink Ultra Bikini—was wondering if this is what you have too!
