I don't know if you have an amex blue card with 6% back on groceries, but you can buy gift cards at the grocery store and get 6% cash back that way. At least you used to be able to...not sure if they ever figured out how to close this loophole.
We do this and also get gas points too. $1 per gallon off with x # of points.

I know people talk about family in "unconditional love" terms. To me, that is bull shit. Love is earned and blood means nothing if mutual respect is not present.
I know it is hard. It takes strength and bravery to stand up and say no. But you deserve better.
Yeah, I think this is happening to me too! So much for burning 800 calories a day, or whatever it's supposed to be. I want to scream bullshit at everyone who says bfing helps weight loss :/

How's it going? Pretty well over all
Height/weight? At 6 mo check up a month and a half ago she was 18lbs and 28ins.
What new tricks is your LO doing? Lost of babbling. Sometimes she gives kisses. She started pulling up on things too.
How are solids going? Are you doing purees, BLW, or a combo? Combo. She really likes squash and feeding herself.
What's sleep like these days? Shit. She's up 4-6 x a night. We're co sleeping until it goes away.
Any questions or concerns? She's been army crawling for about a month. I'm surprised that she hasn't started really crawling yet. She gets on all 4s and then gets lazy and puts her tummy down. This is fine, right? DS didn't army crawl at all.
Anything you are looking forward to? I love this current age. She doesn't laugh a huge amount, but when she does they are magical.

I used a regular sized boppy on our flight to Hawaii in July with dd. She just slept on it the majority of hrs time so I didn't have to hold her. We used the ergo for boarding and deboarding. If you don't buy him a seat, either check it or buy one there.
I would bring a stroller since you have 2 layovers. That way you have something to put him in when you need to pee. Then gate check it.

From a did board but I saw this on the so and wanted to respond.
I had them w/ #2 starting at 34 weeks as well. I had hypertension controlled with meds before and throughout as well. I had pre e with #1 and also IUGR.
Yes, it was annoying, but really, I'm glad I did them. It is a chance to monitor both you and baby. Most of the time I was in and out in a few minutes, but a few times my BP was elevated and she wasn't moving.
6 months Started with Avocado We're doing a mix of purees and BLW. I generally feed a jar and then have things she can play with as well. Peas, strips of steamed sweet potato, cucumber. I used the wholesomebabyfood.com website for a list of things to introduce when just to give me ideas of new foods. She's been pretty happy with everything except oatmeal. She is not a fan.
I gave one to my SS and ordered about six total for gifts. They're gauzy but look cute and for the price I wasn't expecting heirloom quality. So I'm happy and I've gotten rave feedback on them.
This exactly. I like mine a ton and I got one for my Secret Santa and a bunch of other ladies in my family. It is not warm, but it is cute and stylish!
When DS starts barfing we cut all dairy. It's just that much more disgusting with dairy involved. We do cold water and if it lasts longer than a day, pedialite frozen pops. We also have buckets stationed through the house.
