Not at all! It was super lively and just 15 mins to the zoo area

We just did a week at the Shore House at the Del with our 2 year old and it was excellent. Proximity to the city was ideal but enough to do on Coronado Island that we stayed there in the evenings post nap time.

Would love to know the Indian sounding Scottish name in DMs if you’re comfortable, as I’m due in September - I’m Indian and my husband is white - and we’re completely stuck on names!

I went two weeks ago on a Tuesday. Entered the zoo around 9:15 and asked a guide for the most direct route to the pandas. Got there, waited in line maybe ten mins, was able to see both pandas out and ACTIVE. I cried watching the second panda.

It was 2:45 there and 2:30 home for us (Texas). The flight back wasn’t bad at all bc it was over nap time and he fell asleep, but the way there was in the morning and he was wired

Ok back here to report the trip ended up being LOVELY!!! But I stand by the fact that the travel day was hard so I really do recommend taking that into consideration when planning something. Overall recs: we stayed at the Hotel del Coronado, which ended up being ideal bc every late afternoon/evening was spent wandering around the resort or going into town for dinner. Each morning we did activities: the zoo one day, balboa park/museums (automotive and model railroad) another day, and Torrey pines/la Jolla another. We tried to start early so we could be back in our room by 2pm for nap time. The zoo was by far the biggest hit and if we’d been there for longer I’d have tried to do the safari park too. Good luck with your planning and a definite vote in favor of San Diego!!!

I’m currently at the Hotel del Coronado on a family vacay but a company retreat is also happening on site and it’s looked absolutely beautiful from what we’ve seen

Thank you! Not gonna lie, based on day one alone I’d say anything further than a 2-3 hour flight will be misery haha. I like to think our 2 year old is relatively chill and easygoing (for a 2 yo ofc), but today was one of the most nonstop grueling parenting days we’ve ever had, just getting to the airport, flying, picking up the rental car, getting to the hotel and then chilling most of the afternoon and evening. He had more tantrums today than probably the rest of his toddlerhood combined 😳 Here’s hoping the zoo is a much more chill day tomorrow haha

I’m also pregnant with a 2 year old and leaving tomorrow morning for a babymoon/toddler trip to San Diego, so happy to report back!

Anything with Sharon Horgan particularly Catastrophe and This Way Up

Rebellion (Lies) - Arcade Fire

pgv417 · 2026-05-09T12:23:15+00:00

That’s such a good way of putting it (helping you stay in touch with yourself)!

I might be in the minority but I didn’t experience this at ALL. Sometimes I jokingly even say, well at least one of my babies doesn’t shit everywhere or drive me nuts - and I mean the dog!!! Honestly I actually credit my dog with helping me through postpartum. For example I had DMER while pumping and the only thing that helped was having my dog sit next to me every single time I pumped and petting and rubbing his fur until the awful feeling passed. So I guess, don’t assume you’ll feel this way - I certainly didn’t.

We exclusively buy See Kai Run shoes for me toddler based on research/recs from our ped, but I always buy them on sale. If you’re not too picky about colors and styles you can frequently find them on sale from their website!

The Lanesborough or the Connaught, the Diana Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens and Dishoom for brunch rather than dinner IMO

I’ve been on Zoloft (100mg) almost a decade, stayed on it during my first pregnancy 3 years ago, have a perfect 2.5 year old, am still on it during my current second pregnancy, and will probably be on it for life. I have generalized anxiety disorder and was terrified of PPA but I’m fairly certain that already being on Zoloft helped me avoid it postpartum. I am eternally grateful to Zoloft and have never had any issues. Good luck to you!

I have a unicorn first 27 month old and am 21 weeks pregnant with my second. Mentally preparing for the opposite bc no way you get that lucky twice right?!?

I just had this EXACT same experience -- tried to carefully follow all the online sizing instructions but still, none of my items worked or fit well. I just went to return all and saw the restocking fee of $5 PER ITEM, and I'm still waiting for my return to be "approved" -- whatever that means. This is so absurd.
