Anniversary ideas?

We're stumped on something pregnant friendly that still feels special.

Resort or spa day!

Look for a pregnancy friendly resort.

For example, we went to a couples only resort in the Poconos that we enjoy for our anniversary in August. Some of the activities are cheesy AF and it’s not like a hyper-classy 5 star resort but we went to an all inclusive in Riviera Maya right before IVF so we got the complete luxury out of our system. We’ve been 3 times and plan to go a 4th when the boys are old enough to stay with their grandmas overnight and my wife recovers from her C-section and everything so obviously we enjoy it.

It was different than our prior trips obviously because my wife was in the beginning of the third trimester, but it was still very intimate and our room rocked. Dinner and breakfast were included too and there was an onsite cafe for lunch. We did use the main outside pool but our room had its own private pool on the bottom level which was very convenient for her to just soak and float. It was a 3 tiered room with a spiral staircase and see-through floor from the top overlooking the pool and a balcony overlooking a lake. The stairs weren’t too much for my wife either fortunately.

I’d say something close, comfortable, and low key with decent food options is best for a pregnancy-friendly trip.

I want to brag on my kid, but I don’t want to embarrass him, so I’m doing it here. My college sophomore found out today that he ended up with a B in his accounting class - which is remarkable, given that he received a 50 on his first exam and a 70 on his second. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him work this hard - and I couldn’t be more proud. The grades that come easily don’t impress me nearly as much as the ones that are hard fought.

Found a most enlightening work on decolonial history with tons of TIL moments especially about Anti Colonial movements in Egypt, China, Japan and course India in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most histories this period often adopt a Euro-centric lens but this book flips it and tells the stories of these turbulent times from the vantage point of the pioneering Asian leaders like Tagore, Al Afghani, Kang Youwei etc. Lovers of Asian history would surely appreciate this book

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Anyone else feel like family law is toxic and detrimental to the attorney’s health/quality of life?

My home-office phone and cell were ringing from 9:00pm- 12 am after she was served…..I am in my first trimester of pregnancy with my 2nd kid and suddenly feel like I don’t want to/cannot handle this type of toxicity.…continued….

And he’s using one of the rooms downstairs as a home office. We bought this house so cannot move in the short term.
