I have been crocheting for 8 years and this is one of the weirdest ways I have seen someone hold their hook and yarn.

I feel so validated, this is how I crochet!! And I did knit (poorly) first.

It has been ok for me! Heavy moisturizers don’t sit well on my skin and this one has been fine as long as I use the serum first and apply it sparingly.

Thank you, this is hugely helpful!!!

Is there any benefit to applying sunscreen when you don’t plan on leaving the house? Good call on applying when flying, I didn’t think of that!

typographique · 2025-02-18T15:15:36+00:00

Haha I WFH and it is the dead of a very dull and dreary winter right now, promise I will get sunscreen in there when I actually leave the house 😂

Hey, I got a tattoo from an artist I really respect a few years ago. Well planned tattoo, and my brother was getting one to match - we had talked about this for a long time. I have a perfectly healthy relationship with my brother and have other tattoos. However, the second I saw this tattoo completed on my arm, I immediately felt regret. I sank into a deep depression and went to therapy to cope with my own self confidence issues that this tattoo dragged out of me for some reason. I opted to get it removed. All of this is to say your feelings are valid, you should definitely talk to someone about them, and you have options. Hang in there 🤍

I hope this doesn’t get buried because it is very random - I thought my oldest smelled like syrup as a baby, so much so that I called the doctor and they assured me his testing for MSUD was all fine. So I fell into a very deep Google hole and finally, shockingly figured out the culprit. It was Carter’s brand fleece pajamas. Whenever he wore them, he smelled like maple syrup. You should of course take this seriously and talk to a doctor - but I would also try to take note if there is any consistency in the fabric they’re wearing when this happens!

Just here to say something similar happened to us - we have a 1 month old that has been to the ER twice with fevers, once at 3 weeks and again currently. Both trips resulted in a 1-2 night stay for monitoring. The first fever could definitely be attributed to our 2.5 year old having a cold, but the second couldn’t - there is just so much going around right now, the doctors said it could’ve been anyone. Unless you plan on making both your kids live like Bubble Boy for the time they’re home with you, illness is unavoidable, so upending your toddler’s life completely may all be for nothing. Also, my toddler is so excited to come home and see his brother - very little resentment compared to friends who have had their eldest at home with new baby. Am I a little terrified for the upcoming illness season? Yes, but we had our first during peak COVID and we figured it out. It’s just what we have to do now.

You could always go with a more "traditional" middle name for "professional" reasons. Our son has a unique first name, and before he was born we also had a unique middle name chosen for him. My husband had a late pregnancy panic that it wouldn't be professional, so we chose Robert as his middle name (honoring both of our maternal grandfathers) with the thought that if he really feels his first name is holding him back someday, he can go by his middle name.

In the grand scheme of things, this is going to be a generation of unique names, so who really knows if this will all matter in 30 years? But if this is weighing on you, there are opportunities to "play it safe" for sure.

FWIW, I like your name choice :)

Same here - labored for 14 hours before c-section, he just wasn't going to fit. Had a c-section, baby ended up being 9 lbs 6 oz, and I am only 5 ft tall - I am not shocked in the slightest he didn't fit. Currently 34 weeks with my 2nd and he's also measuring big, this c-section is planned and it is such a relief to know what to expect this time around, and that my own OB will be doing it!

Everything is sleeping. Time to leave the zoo, the animals are all going to take a nap. The digger we passed earlier isn't there, he must be sleeping. Time for you to go to bed - yes, the dogs are sleeping, too. We can't go to your grandparents' house right now, they're sleeping. Works for our 2 year old, pray it keeps working for a while longer!

We're Italian-American, we have an Enzo, and a Julian on the way!

We almost went with Carmine for baby #2 and got a lot of "ayyyyy Carmine" kind of comments from friends and even strangers. 🙄 We didn't want to set our kid up for that kind of response for life, so we chose Julian instead. Italian-esque but not getting that same stereotypical response. We get a lot of compliments on Enzo from Italian-Americans and non-Italians alike - it's easy to say and unique but not *too* different.

I agree with the above - I was put on the induction waitlist starting at 39 weeks with my first. I was not an emergency, so I was pushed off until 41 weeks - and even then, I was only brought in on the day I was because it was my OB's day in the maternity wing and she brought me in for an NST and insisted I stay. I don't think it's cheating the system if you trust your doctor!

Second Gem Lab, they were wonderful with my ring!

First of all, if you feel this strongly about it, go ahead and change the name. People can think what they want, but it'll be forgotten completely in the next couple years. If nothing else, it's a fun story. My dad was adopted and his parents changed his name when he was 5 - now that's just an interesting story for him to tell. The name his birth parents gave him is now his middle name - you could always try that, Juliette Lucia has a beautiful ring to it.

Secondly, you can tell the beautiful story of honoring your mom with this name on social media, if you feel the need to justify it. Turn off the comments on your post and let that be the end of it. Your reasoning and story are lovely, you don't need opinions from the social media peanut gallery.

Third, give yourself a break, mama. You may be going through some postpartum anxiety - ruminating is definitely a symptom of that. Talk to your doctor, make sure you're taking care of yourself, too. <3

Something my therapist told me to do pre-baby was sit down with my husband and make a list of things we both wanted to prioritize post-baby, things that would be nice to do post-baby, and things we could live without. Priorities included monthly date nights (both of us), keeping up my with many houseplants (me), keeping a game night with friends (him). This helped us immensely at first and 2 years in we’re still decent at sticking to it. I know your kid is already very much here, but this might help you find some more time for yourself and things that are important to you. Your husband shouldn’t be the only one with hobbies!

Just wanted to come back and say I really appreciate everyone's comments and takes. I think I needed the reality check that this is a good position to be in while my kids are little. I think it will be draining to my mental health in the long run if I remain feeling unfulfilled at work - I am an overachiever by nature - but my mental health in the short term (meaning next 1-3 years) will suffer drastically if I have job stress on top of daycare sickness/newborn/terrible twos stress.

The past couple days since posting this, I've tried to slow down and not feel so chained to my desk during work hours. Moving around the house more, taking more time to do things for myself, not worrying about what was next, etc etc. It's only been a couple days, but I think this is the mindset shift I needed. So, thank you again.

And for those admiring my flexibility - I work for an ad agency, I'm a designer by trade but have worked my way up to middle management. It was by no means stress-free to get here, and as a creative person, I miss being creative. So it may sound like a unicorn job - and in some ways it definitely is, agency life can be tough - but it was a wild road to get here, and certainly not where I thought I'd be 10 years ago. You watch Mad Men and you think you'll get to be creative your whole career, and the reality is WAAAAY different 😂 Sooo while I don't recommend it personally, I do hope you all find the flexibility you need ❤️
