It’s hard to beat BaubleBar right now for personalized gifts — from prices to selection, they have a TON of great stuff. I constantly wear my Maya Brenner initial necklaces (I have a G in gold and silver, for our last name), but I kind of like the idea of wearing a few of these pendant necklaces, stacked, in different colors with an initial for J and H (for my sons Jack and Harrison). The pendant can be on a gold or silver chain, 16-18″, uppercase or lowercase, comes in 24 colors of acrylics, and each bar can hold up to 3 initials. Nice. Prices start at $44.

I got served with divorce papers last night.

On Monday, I got promoted. I knew it was coming but I was pushing for it to be sooner so that I can announce my pregnancy – I’m at 13 weeks. Due in May. I still haven’t announced yet.
Another woman on my team, who’d returned from maternity leave in July, was terminated/laid off. It seemed like a surprise. We were friendly but not friends – I have her cell phone # but had never used it.
My manager’s boss is a pretty hands-on Dad with 3 kids under 5. I am kind of worried about this situation. A colleague I have confided in said that I seem more sure than Laid Off Colleague because my 1st kid is older, I have family in the area, I’ve shown that I like my job (I do) and want to push ahead (I do).
How do I find out – either from my former colleague or from my female, married, child-free-by-choice manager who is generally supportive of me – if there were, ah, work-life balance parenting/mommy issues that led to my colleague’s lay off? You know, like time management issues that come along with any newborn?
Thoughts?
Any suggestions for a maternity half slip? Most everything I see is some sort of shorts-shape wear, but I am specifically looking for a long (so it can go over the bump) silky half-slip so maternity dresses won’t stick to my hose/tights. Thanks!
Anyone have recommendations for a baby/kid shampoo they like? I’d prefer a cruelty-free product without a bunch of nasty additives. Everything I’ve tried so far has been too harsh for kiddo’s scalp.
DH and I are planning to start TTC this month. We have a toddler and got pregnant with her our first month trying without doing any sort of tracking, monitoring temps, etc. This time I feel like we need to be a bit more strategic because we won’t have the opportunity to have s*x as often with busier schedules, a toddler who hates sleeping/sleeping alone, etc. I started using My Fertility Friend last month although I was still taking birth control pills. Now, I was supposed to start my period last weekend and still haven’t. I’m not pregnant so I’m not sure what’s going on. I guess I’m looking for tips on tracking ovulation with an inconsistent period (this month), timing of TTC, etc. Any advice? Should I buy a basal thermometer and start taking my temps? Should I buy ovulation predictor kits to try to predict ovulation? Should I just wait for my period and estimate timing from that?
I just read the book Expecting Better, and it covers a lot of pre-conception and conception stuff. A quick read with a lot of data – basically the first 5 days before you O are what’s important, day of is ok, day after through your next period it ain’t gonna happen.
I used an app to track my cycles – I just used a free one, MC or My Cycle. It was helpful. You have to enter the data, of course, but I didn’t do temp or mucous stuff (too much) and the app still helped.
