They didn't specify but my assumption is that they're offering the cash to start whichever we choose. They also said they'd like to be able to continue contributing money to it over the years (I'm assuming again they mean give us the cash with the understanding it goes into whatever we decide on).

Mostly I'm a financial newbie. I thought I was doing good when we got our Roth IRAs a few years ago LOL

I would say it sounds like they want an account to contribute to. That would be either a regular account or a 529. The trust isn't anything they can contribute to regularly.

I was sort of wondering about that. I know zilch about trusts.

MH said we should pick a trust because "rich people always have trusts". He was mostly joking but I told him we need to research options. For example see if there is something other than a 529 that could be contributed to that would be a good option (like without restrictions on being used for educational purposes) and see if his parents are amiable to that.

Yay Roomba k3am, I hope it's awesome and works well for you guys.

[mrssqueegy]

I'm way more excited about the huge box of KD. Yum.

[k3am]

So, the nicest lady just followed me to my car and unloaded my cart. I hope she has some awesome karma for that. Also, I have tears. Stupid hormones.

[k3am]

And extra good karma to her for not even a joke about the amount of alcohol in my cart either.

So sorry about the A/C westiemom! Silver lining - at least it's out now and not in July or August...? Hopefully you'll get it fixed now and it won't go out again for a lonnnnng time.

July or August would be pure hell!! My mom is home with the AC guy now working on it. FX!

[westiemom]

O and I just got to the hospital so she can spend 24 hours under her "tanning bed" to work on her bilirubin levels. No improvement today.

Hospitals are boring, but this is easy. Sorry you're not able to be in the comfort of your own home. You've got this. Hope you see improvement soon!

Sorry to hear she needs a hospital stay hopefully this takes care of things though!

Are they going to monitor her periodically to see if she needs the full 24 hours? Or are they just going to do the full 24 hours and go from there?

[k3am]

So the roomba has previously been opened. Keep it or return/exchange it?

I would exchange it. I'm of the opinion that I go to the store to buy new things not opened/used/maybe broken things.

I've had some bowel distress today and now the area near my hips and back are hurting. My mom is like "omg baby tonight" I'm like um, probably not bc it's still April! I want May!

The picture wasn't loading at first and I got so excited thinking another squish was on the way!! Then it loaded and I did a face palm lol

[aaemommy]

westiemom sorry you're having to go back in! FX this resolves it and you won't have to do anything else.

[snoris]

Ooooh so sorry for baby O westiemom. It's only 24 hours then it's done and you can move on. Thinking of you!!

teraiin T&P for your Dad. You have all been through so much this year!

I just had a glorious nap. Now I get kitty snuggles. Am I a bad person if I eat all my post-labor snack bag now? There's some good stuff in there and it's calling my name.

[k3am]

Just returned it. I think in my mind, I'm thinking normal hours Costco trip isn't worth it to return.. 15 mins commute each way, 10 mins to park, forever waiting in line, at least 3 near misses with bad drivers in the parking lot, etc.. Being able to do stuff in work hours is the best!

I broke into my post labor snack bag..... And had to restock it. Ridiculous.

[birkmmm]

westiemom I'm so sorry your at the hospital

I didn't even realize there was a new thread started lol ... I've prob been talking to myself in the other one. This new born business is time consuming

[teraiin]

If we keep posting this much we might want to switch to daily threads

[teraiin]

Randomly I noticed my belly button is pretty much gone. I sort of figured it would turn into an outie. But so far it's just getting stretched and smaller.

[snoris]

o2girl, ok I just rummaged through my bag and had a snack feast... oops. I guess we're going snack shopping tomorrow. I also really want popsicles. Raspberry sorbet popsicles. Now.

In other news I feel wicked groggy since my nap. You know when you wake up all warm and puffy/dehydrated and more tired than when you fell asleep? That's me. I'll try and hydrate and maybe check out a new movie - I think netflix just updated their stash. I am also wondering wth I'm going to do with myself if mat leave goes on for a long time with no baby... house is already gleaming and nursery is ready... I guess I planned to read a lot?

I just saw my prenatal nurse for the last time! Next time I see her she'll be here as my LC and I am having all kinds of emotions about that. I can't believe I'm getting so close!

[starfishy]

The baby scared me bc I hadn't felt movement in awhile.
I had to sacrifice and eat 3 cookies and drink an apple juice. Did a kick count and all good.
