Ooh, the rare nursing top that wouldn’t make me look pregnant. Nice find!
I have this top because it looks so great and for all these reasons, and it looks hideous in real life. Each layer is nearly see-through the cotton is so thin and so you can still see the nursing bra, etc.
I have so many questions that have arisen based on the newborn photography threadjack yesterday. DH and I are not big photo-takers. I have gone on entire 2 week international vacations without snapping a single shot. We both take tons of photos of our dog, but that’s it. But we are having a baby, and I desperately want to document the heck out of the kid’s babyhood and childhood, both for ourselves and for the family living across the country. Questions:
1. Should we get an actual camera, or will our iphones suffice? Probably an actual camera, right? Low end DSLR? Figure it out beforehand?
2. How do you handle storage and organization of photos? We rarely print/hang (none of our wedding photos are displayed), and I’m terrified of losing tons of digital pictures. We have an external hard drive, but I’m not sure whether we’ll remember to move pictures there on a regular basis…
3. What methods should we use to share pictures with family across the country? E-mails seem unwieldy and clumsy, I don’t want to flood our FB feeds with baby pictures that most of our FB friends will soon tire of. I was thinking perhaps Instagram? Any other ideas?
Thanks so much in advance! I want to have some sort of plan in place when the kid arrives, as I could absolutely see us being the people who forget to take pictures until he or she is a month or two old.
So, my best friend wants to throw me a baby shower, and I’d love advice from the hive. As much as I would adore having a shower, I don’t know that I’m comfortable with it, as it would involve inviting people who don’t live in my current city. I’m someone who has a decent amount of friendly acquaintances, but only a small group of 5-10 close friends. Only two of these close friends live in my city, other close friends live scattered throughout the country, and my family couldn’t attend, as they are across the country. Even my best friend would have to travel 8 hours by car or 2 hours by plane, which she is apparently enthusiastic about doing.
I don’t know, a shower is basically about giving gifts, and though I know one or two close friends would probably make a weekend trip for a shower, I feel bad even having them invited. That’s a big ask. I think I’d feel guilty if they came. And if they didn’t, I’d be having a pretty small shower with maybe way more friendly acquaintances than close friends, which feels…awkward.
So the options I am considering are as follows.
(1) Politely decline, and perhaps have a fun weekend with my best friend in which we do a baby-related thing or two…
(2) Suggest a post-baby shower a couple of months after the baby is born (i.e., so anyone from out of town could actually come meet the baby)…
(3) Say yes to my best friend organizing the shower.
Thoughts?
Baby is one month old today and I am sooooo tired. Ugggghhhh. Pretty sure she’s having a growth spurt bc all she wants to do is nurse and she won’t take a bottle so I can get a break. This is making my return to work look pretty d@mn appealing.
A question for the hive about working from home with an infant:
My job is fairly work-from-home friendly. I’m expecting my first baby this fall, and I’m thinking of asking to work from home one day a week (the same day that my boss is already working at home, which means all of our work is done electronically anyway, and there’s an almost-zero risk that I’ll miss something at the office). Childcare isn’t an issue, since my husband will be watching the baby anyway. But I think that one fewer day of commuting, pumping, etc. will really make a difference in my sanity. For context, I’m not able to take a very long maternity leave, and will probably have to return to work when the baby is around 14 weeks.
One of my friends insists that this is a terrible idea, and that I’ll never be able to get any work done at home because I will be so distracted by the baby. Any thoughts from experienced moms about this? My job is pretty flexible and mostly research-oriented, so I won’t have to contend with conference calls or anything like that.
