Happy Wednesday, ladies! I’m liking this wrinkle-resistant, machine washable dress that is steeply marked down over at Pendleton. The below-the-knee length would be a miss for me, but it’s easy enough to buy the petites version or get it hemmed — and the great discount is worth the chance. The dress was $150, but is now $39 — available in three colors, in petite, plus, and regular sizes 04-18. Pendleton Travel Tricotine All-Day Dress

Okay, so I know it’s late and nobody might see this, but HOLY COW I JUST GOT A POSITIVE TEST.
I’m supposed to have margaritas with the girls tonight and my husband picked them up because I kept mentioning how ‘off’ I felt.
Yep. Digital ‘Pregnant’. Holy cow.
Hi ladies! I just had a baby boy at 27 weeks so much earlier than expected. He’s in the NICU and doing well but we need to find him a name! We’d like a middle name that means strong or survivor because he is one :) any suggestions? Thanks!
Our nanny’s birthday is next week. It will be her first birthday with us. Any advice on gifts/celebrating?
Wrong place
I’ve posted before with questions about a trip I’m doing do Europe this summer with my baby (who will be 9m old then) and I’ve gotten such great advice, I’m gonna give it another go!
This question: traveling with a stroller and/or carseat. We’ll be in the following cities: Tallinn, Helsinki, Maastricht, and London. All public transit/walking in London; the other cities we’ll be with family, so using a combination of (small) car and public transit/walking. We have a Britax B-Agile but I’m wondering if I should get an umbrella stroller instead? I really like that I can handle the Britax with one hand, but I don’t know if it’s too big for city use? It also takes up a lot of trunk space, so that is a concern with the small cars.
Regarding the car seat: I either bring ours (a Britax B-Safe) or rent/borrow one in Tallinn, Helsinki, and Maastricht. I don’t think I could handle the carseat without the Britax stroller (above), because I’m traveling over by myself with baby; my hubby will meet us at the airport when we arrive. Renting/borrowing a carseat wouldn’t be that bad, but if the Britax stroller is what I should bring, the I’d be more inclined to bring our own matching carseat since I can snap it in and drive the two as a unit.
If bringing both carseat and stroller, should I baggage check them all and just keep kiddo in the Bjorn while in transit? We have to connect in Frankfurt on our way to Tallinn. Thoughts? Other ideas for how to work this?
You know that “explain to me like I’m five” reddit board? I feel like I need someone to do that to me about how to feed my daughter food. We started baby food last week, and it’s gone well so far, in that she’s enthusiastically eaten everything we’ve given her, but I have no clue what I’m doing, if I’m giving her enough, etc.
For those folks that feed their babies baby food, how much do you feed them at the beginning? All their normal bottles plus 2 things of baby food per day? Three per day? And when do you start transitioning to solids? I know that baby led weaning is having a real moment right now, but I don’t have a good grasp on how to start that either. Just give her some broccoli florets or something? She has two teeth, if that matters.
And is there any way to make it less messy? Do I need bibs with sleeves? Or do I just need to develop “my daughter is smearing sweet potato in her hair” zen?
Also, I ordered a bunch of num num dips from Amazon, and they are awesome.
