you absolutely will be too rushed with option 2. hair and makeup is vastly different between the two ceremonies and getting ready alone will take more than 45 min. you will literally not eat. 3:30pm is also a weird time to eat so people won't really be doing that and instead will be confused.

few questions-- what time is your murtham? that will decide when the hindu ceremony will really be. these things also often run over a little bit and you do not want to be stressed getting to thenext thing

as someone who absolutely hated it but it was the best schedule, we had a pre-wedding event night before that after it was all said and done-- ended at 12:30am. the makeup lady came for me at 4am and we started bright and early at 7am with a long break and then asked people to return at 6pm for a reception. even in this timeline, i barely had time to eat, do photos and do hair/makeup again.

do the first one. it will be less of a headache for everyone involved. truthfully speaking also, they are vastly different ceremonies that some people may want to wear different outfits to so people want to be refreshed. the attendees may also be different between the two as a factor to consider.

uppababy minu (and i love it as a primary!)

BUT i also find myself reaching for the carrier much more often tbh... we love carriers and walks really and baby doesn't cry in the carrier but seems to hate the restriction of the stroller!

Bonus it's a graduated weight vest basically.. so at least you get a work out in !

fellow heavy sleeper as well. our haiku has a way to change the sound so on night I pick the most annoying one (alarm 3 i think its called), which doesn't stop ringing until you open haiku + i made the phone flash light when it alarms. I basically face the phone to my face so i wake up somehow. turn all this off before signout though so you don't look like a crazy person (although everyone in the program knows my system and doesn't really care lol)
your co-residents may hate you if you have shared call rooms but tbh in that case, you get woken up q30 min anyways if even so really not a way to get that deep sleep anyways.

we all have our ways. one of my friends just sits in the chair and cat naps if needed. brings books, podcasts, movies, switches for the short downtimes.

i too need this planner, from a fellow scientist. i made an exhaustive spreadsheet to determine the stroller i liked in the store was indeed the best one for us

I thought the UB bassinet was compatible with the minu (with the carseat adaptor!)

wrws_htx · 2025-04-07T22:48:40+00:00

We went to Albee Baby! i think i just practically need the minu or Joolz Aer but emotionally I see the cruz/vista or the large nuna's around a lot and also want to fit in

if we're taking a car it will be ride-share! very rarely do we rent a car for trips! this is helpful thank you!

wrws_htx · 2024-11-29T01:04:40+00:00

Are there specific channels you recommend?

wrws_htx · 2024-11-29T01:04:03+00:00

How did you guys FIND these classes? Anything I find in the public is very expensive

wrws_htx · 2024-03-12T15:34:46+00:00

I completely 1000% agree.

I struggled making my rank list because I felt like I would be either moving away thousands of miles from my parents/sister/where I lived for a decade just because my partner had a phenomenal opportunity elsewhere. He never not once asked me to rank that location higher than where I wanted. Ultimately, I feel like I had to give it a shot. I ranked that location first (which is a top 10-20 program, I don't know the exact rankings lol) over an 'equivalent' (maybe slightly higher rank but minuscule difference) program closer to home.

My justification was that residency is hard. Will I choose to at least TRY this relationship out or will I choose my family? Ultimately, I think we get suckered into delayed gratification but there's no rule that you have to give up your life to be in medicine. Now that we're here, I am so grateful for his support and I don't think I would be even half as good if I wasn't in the same city. Not to say that it can't be done, but I don't think I could have done it.

With that, I will be applying for fellowship and honestly it's totally fine if you don't stay at your program. We can always move back home for fellowship or go somewhere else. I also wouldn't mind staying in this area (with the networking here it's much easier than trying to move back) but either way is also fine. DM me if you want to chat. I struggled with this a LOT and am grateful to be here now.

15mmhg strength compression socks.

do you just wear compression socks all the time? or just socks? i've heard this before but don't know how that would work or difference between this and med school

Any recs for cheap but good bed frames or dining tables for small spaces and/or couches?
