My husband and I have a 4 month old but we get out of the house often with him. We’ve been to baseball games, golf, bowling, dinner at friends houses, etc..He’s a really chill baby and we have a great time doing stuff with him.

We had plans to go to our friends, we will call Tom and Sarah for the sake of the story, for a Fourth of July thing today. No fireworks or heavy drinking. Just a small gathering with maybe 5-8ish people we know well.

All day yesterday I could not shake the feeling that we shouldn’t go. Not like a oh it’ll be too much with the baby kinda feeling but a I think something terrible is going to happen feeling.

As a new mom I have typical mom anxiety but nothing like how I felt yesterday but I knew my husband was excited to go so I didn’t say anything or show any concern about going. I figured I’d wait until today and if I still felt bad about it I’d say something closer to time to leave our house.

Last night we were laying in bed about to fall asleep and I’m still thinking how much I don’t feel good about going to Tom and Sarah’s the next day. Out of nowhere my husband asks if I’m still awake. I said yeah kinda and he says “I don’t know why but we can’t go to Tom and Sarah’s house tomorrow. Like my body is saying it’s not an option”

So of course we are staying home today and I feel completely content and happy but hearing him say that last night after spending all day feeling the same way sent chills down my body.

My husband is a very rational not anxious parent and him saying something like that is unusual for him so I know he was feeling some kinda way.

Anyway who knows if anything would have happened if we went but I’m glad knowing we’re listening to our intuition. Hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of July!

I don’t wanna throw any baby clothes away and I want someone that needs them to get them for free so not Goodwill. My kid is 3 months so growing out of stuff pretty quickly and I want to keep donating the things he grows out of.

My older dog is not doing good lately and we think he’s reached the end of the road. This is really hard for our family but we also have a newborn and money is tight. I want to take him somewhere where he will be treated with love and care but also won’t break the bank

Thankfully never worked anywhere that had a uniform but just landed a new job that requires servers and bartenders to wear jeans :/ I never wear jeans. And I had a baby 7 weeks ago so definitely a lil bigger than normal. It’s a higher end rooftop bar that I know gets a little toasty up there in the summer. Any recommendations for brands that are comfy and breathable? Also not trying to shell out a lot of money for them.
