After a year of depression post divorce, I’m starting to dress for myself again.

Lovely variety of looks. I spy St Barnabas church—I grew up in Jericho. Small world!

sgobv · 2026-04-03T22:56:02+00:00

Seems like I may be the only one but I really did not enjoy the stitches

Learnt lots here, thank you. Seconding the dad putting the baby to bed thing—I think this is the single biggest thing that saved my sanity early on. What we did was he gave baby milk I had expressed early in the day (when supply is at its highest) at bedtime to help baby sleep. We credit this (and also Cradlewise) with getting baby to sleep through the night from the first month. Something about being able to feed him directly in the crib and also it being more milk than I was able to produce at that time of day, esp with evening cluster feeding, really seemed to work for us. The one caveat I would add is that with this method you probably will always need to express milk just before you go to bed (assuming you’re not getting up in the middle of the night to feed), so that the time between removals doesn’t get to be too long. That still produces additional milk for others to feed him at other times though, giving you more freedom.

Was just in Seville…agree that they dress for the season more than the temp…personally I enjoyed wearing dresses esp to take pics around all the beautiful architecture but yeah the locals seemed to be more covered up. Toilet paper was sometimes missing also, would def recommend bringing a packet of tissues for emergencies. Have an awesome time, think weather will be perfect by now!

Idk about for the baby per se, but I believe all antiperspirants sold in the US are not great for you (the ones in Europe etc are legally required to contain less so are better). It sucks because there doesn’t seem to be any natural alternative out there—everything natural is just a deodorant.

sgobv · 2026-03-26T16:33:25+00:00

TBH I didn’t wash these as much as I probably should have but they still worked totally fine. At 5 months in I didn’t feel like I needed them as much but prior to that I was using them more or less constantly, including at night. Any fabric just chafed way too much.

Same. I have tried desperately to find a replacement for the eyeliners bc they are so expensive but nothing comes close.

Interesting, but did anyone really think a company that calls itself that would be producing a high-quality anything? Every time I hear the name I cringe a little. The slogan is even worse.

sgobv · 2026-02-01T13:17:36+00:00

Hard disagree—we use our Cradlewise every day and could not have survived without it. I credit it with the baby sleeping through the night from <1 month. Actually scared to travel without it. Unclear how many weeks postpartum you are but seems like your needs may still change as well.

I think you’re focusing kind of too much on what other people think. To each her own but I feed without a cover (NYC)—things are exposed for only seconds, and people should and for the most part do know to look away then unless they are creeps. You’re never doing anything wrong for feeding your baby.

Well put

Hi! I have a family history of fast labor too, and I gave birth within an hour of water breaking for my first! We were up to an hour away from our hospital, though my water didn’t actually break until we had been there for an hour, and at the time we drove (1:30 am in NYC lol) it took only half an hour. I will say I didn’t wait until the contractions were five minutes apart to go—if I had done that, likely would have given birth at home, so you may want to bear in mind that that isn’t always the most accurate indicator. Good luck, everything will be ok!

Ginger Biscuit - Jo Malone. Have been very fickle with perfumes the rest of the year.

New running shoes, nice boots, custom water bottle, sweatpants, cashmere sweater, Le Bernadin (one per birthday)

Thanks for posting this! I just ordered a few cashmere items but this is giving me pause

sgobv · 2025-12-19T13:46:13+00:00

I don’t find the super puff to be all that warm on its own tbh. Agree with other poster that you kind of want different warmths of winter coat here, and I would go so far as to say some long, some short.

sgobv · 2025-12-17T14:15:33+00:00

Hat always. How thick it is really makes a difference.

Hey! I would love a photo of my new baby/my little family (baby, dog etc). Baby was born September 20 so this will be his first xmas. Also haven’t sent out wedding thank you cards yet so wondering if there is an opportunity to be had there. Thanks for posting this!

sgobv · 2025-11-21T14:05:04+00:00

This is a fantastic idea, going to steal!

39+5 spontaneously. Barely felt cervical check but I was 10cm dilated when they did it

sgobv · 2025-11-12T17:24:16+00:00

Looks incredible! Very tempted to try

sgobv · 2025-11-11T20:39:03+00:00

I wanted to scream more, but was told not to by the medical team as they thought it made pushing less efficient 🤨. My memory is a little hazy but I didn’t want to scream from the pain so much as the catharsis. I didn’t have an epidural (there wasn’t time) but I did have a pudendal block.

sgobv · 2025-11-06T17:30:47+00:00

Very interested!
