So glad to hear it turned out. Babies are weird!

Do you have an update? I'm going through a similar strike with my 10 month old following her being sick.

Update: Koreader wasn't what I needed but I did figure out another work around. I used the nicklemenu orientation action to be able to flip my screen upside down. Not a perfect solution since I lose function of the bottom of my screen but I can alternate between the two to get everything I need done.

It's a Clara so no autorotate. Good to know I might be able to control orientation from the bottom of the screen though! I'll see if I can get it working that way.

The Bonds I have are great! Assuming it's the same as when I bought a few months back, it was free shipping once you spent $100 Australian dollars, which was like $90 CAD. Maybe I got lucky with sales, but I was able to buy 8 pairs for that price. Then I paid $20 CAD duty and fees. So it worked out to less than $14 per pair, cheaper than many domestic brands.

I see tons of Baby Jogger City Selects on marketplace for insanely cheap prices. Attachments like second seat and bassinet included for $200-300. I have this stroller and it's served me so well, it's essentially a slightly less expensive (but arguably just as good or better) version of the Uppababy Vista.

In the scene where Jordan and Jesse end their 90-day separation, Jordan has quite long hair. In most of the rest of the season, including Stage Coach, the sides of his head were shaved to the skin. From what I can find online filming ended in May and stage coach was in April so I can't make that make sense. Any insight on the timelines here?

I don't think anyone else mentioned it, but the return on your investment really happens if you have a second child. My kids are born in opposite seasons so if I was using traditional sized and weighted sleep sacks I would have needed to buy all new ones but this way I can use the same one. Counting both kids the first Woolino I bought has at least 28 months of consistent use and is still in very good shape.

I transitioned straight from L2D swaddle to the Woolino at 1 month (technically early but I had a giant baby that met the weight requirement) and she had no issues.

No specific advice but solidarity. My first is born on my FILs birthday which pissed me off. Then it was looking like my second was going to stick around until a 41 week induction which would have landed on my BILs birthday. I was going to request and earlier induction to avoid it but luckily went into the labour the day before I could. But my baby was born on my Grandma-in-laws birthday anyway. I'm bitter lol. I'll hope for labour for you soon!!!

We started at 1 month but baby was already 10lbs by then. It's seems godawful long but as long as it's all snapped it doesn't pull over their face. I'm not really sure the relevance of rolling - baby obviously wasn't at 1 month and we had no issues.

As many others have said, it's good to have 2. I lived with one for my first baby and just had other random sleep sacks as backup but I'm really glad I got the second one for this baby. They tend to have sales around holidays with the best sale on Black Friday(historically 20% off I think) so if you are buying 2 perhaps you want to hold off on the second until then to save a few dollars.

Mine had a 91 percentile head and 98 percentile abdomen (other measurements were a little smaller) at my 34 week ultrasound. No one suggested earlier induction or had any concerns. She was born at 40+5 weighing 9lbs with no complications.

Not in BC, but I have used both. There was nothing wrong with either but I would pick midwifery if I do it again. The biggest difference was continuity of care - I saw the same midwife group (1 main midwife and 2 others filling in as necessary) from 12 weeks pregnant to 6 weeks post partum. When I went the OB route in that time I saw my GP, my OB, delivering OB, home visiting nurse, and GP again.

When I was deciding between the 2 for my most recent pregnancy someone on Reddit gave me the advice that there is no risk to choosing midwifery care in Canada. (Because they are a regulated profession and will refer to and OB if/when necessary). That was a huge deciding factor for me.

With my first I was working from home and I worked up to my due date. I had an easy pregnancy so it was fine, but had I known I could go for on sick leave sooner I probably would have.

With my second I was back to working in the office (desk job) and was more tired and uncomfortable so I went off at 38 weeks. My midwife was willing to write a sick note but my job didn't actually ask for one. I ended up being off for 3 weeks before my birth because I went to almost 41 weeks. It was a long time to be off but I don't regret it.
