It really depends on the colleague. But cash is always nice to have(regardless how tacky it may feel) so that they can get what they want/need. Babies grow very quickly and your colleague might be drowning in handmedowns (this goes for toys/clothing/certain accessories).
I was supposed to clean the house before my folks visited for the little one’s first birthday. The lot of us spent the week sick at home instead. It wasn’t too terrible, just full of mucus and lots of schedule upheaval. Hopefully we’ll all be fully recovered by the coming week before I go back to work.
Thanks for asking, I really needed to get that out.
Keeping water at arms reach is probably what helps the most. But I read a few things when I was pregnant that really helped me with upping my water intake.
Have water at bedside table. When you wake in the middle of the night have a few big gulps before going back to sleep.
Have a drinking vessel with a straw. Something about moving head down or up making drinking difficult, a straw might help.
And of course, not everyone needs two litres of water a day. Hope it helps!
Sorry to link to reddit, but I found the answer there. Should be “Why so sour?”

Last week of term, it was more dramatic than I cared for. But now that the teachers are on leave I get to do some housekeeping at work. I’m oddly looking forward to it.
The little one’s been doing well recently, we got lots of smiles and cuddles and it melted our hearts and tired little brain. Got a week off coming soon, packed with house chores and test drives!
Thank you for asking and creating the space to share. How was your week?
