    How? 4, 5, 6 kids? Enlighten me please

    @despet93 We structured our lives to be able to afford this. We paid off all our debt before TTC. We gave up eating out, we drove cars from 1996, we lived in a tiny studio apartment. We didn’t buy new clothes and haircuts were great clips. We did this for 2 years and got debt free. We now have...

    Day 2 as working mom. O. M. G

    @manishk012 I waited until my daughter was 7 months. She just started daycare Monday for two days a week and it was so much better dropping her off knowing we were both ready and she was excited to go and play and I was excited for a break vs. both of us being very sad.

    To wait or not to wait...

I would stick to your date. I was someone who got really sick when I was 6 weeks pregnant until week...

    I don’t really have time to make this rant but I feel like I’m about to explode

    @eleader22 Boundaries! Leave the house. Good for you. Good for husband. Good for baby. Prep a bottle so you can nurse, leave, he can do a bottle, you come back in 4-6 hours. Do you have an office or a coworking space to go into? Boundaries at work. You don’t have to show coworkers everything...

    When Mama has work from home deadlines, kiddo crying, what should Daddy do?

    @elvisrene10 F) daddy should step up because he’s a parent too, just one with different genitalia, but doesn’t make him any less responsible even if the child prefers you.

    Lap swimming through pregnancy - 33 weeks

    @sot I’m not normally a swimmer but pools workouts have been great. It’s been nice to feel “weightless” for a bit (I’m 29 weeks).
