DW and I are likely moving very close (0.3 miles) to D1’s family. We met with our financial guys this week and they gave us a financial path to do it and we are touring the house on Friday.
If this works out, we will move to new house and then get old place ready to sell. Most sales in our neighborhood result in a teardown/new construction so hopefully we won’t have to do much to make the sale happen
That sounds great @jmnva06!
Hope that all works out.
Oooh, that is my GD’s dream! Actually, she wants us to live next door, but closer than we are (25-30 minutes) would make her … and us … so happy. Congratulations!
Any recommendations of nice, comfy COOLING nursing pj’s??? Not for me of course. 
D is not a big PJ’s person (like her mom) but I’m thinking the first several weeks it might do more for her mental health to have a comfy, cute pair of pj’s that make her feel ok until she gets a chance in the day to shower.
I don’t know what brand, but most I know of seem to wear the ones that are solid dark blue with white piping, button down top, shorts, light weight fabric, nice looking
I would check out Soma or Cool Nights (also cozy Earth , though they are pricey). The styles with the buttons down the front should work for nursing.
My D wore Cozy Earth and Skims PJ’s (the ones lb5 mentioned that buttoned up the front). She raved about the Skims ones.
We do have a Soma so I could look in person.
@abasket Soma has good sales.
Both of mine found that they wore the pajamas more often than they had thought they would. My oldest sweat a lot and found she changed in the night. Also maybe one button front nightgown might be nice if she ends up with a cesarean. Both mine had a mix of expensive brands plus some from Target. My oldest found that in the first few weeks she stayed in pajamas most of the day. It was nice to have a fresh set to change.
This is what I thought. And D’s bday is very close to baby time so I thought it might a nice gift/splurge to give her instead of her current nightwear!
I actually know two people that are next door to parents/grandparents. One was married for more than 10 years with 3 sons, and her retired parents purchased the home next door to them (they may have planned the purchases together in the new build community). The grandsons are now almost out of college. Before moving here, her husband was in military and moving around. The grandparents are lovely people and don’t overstep any boundaries.
For a time, my daughter’s BF lived next door to his grandparents. It was the great-grandparents’ house his parents purchased. He is very close to both these grandparents and his grandfather many states away (his mother’s dad).
Recently, a friend’s husband needed to live closer to medical center for his declining condition, and her daughter found a place for them and with her empty nester relocation next door - unique property. The parents’ place was totally redone and one level living. My friends were near their son/family in our current location, but many factors for this move. I suspect my friend’s husband will die within a year (he has Lewy Body and other complications with other neurological diagnoses) - this was good for short term and long term IMHO.
Next door is not what we are looking for with our relocation. Convenience between homes is a factor.
My SIL actually grew up living in a house between both sets of grandparents. GD loves that idea. We can’t afford to live in their neighborhood! 
But your family had the wonderful setup with the two grandmas having Tue/Thu, right? I think about that at least every few weeks and send loving (and a tiny bit jealous) thoughts.
It was wonderful while it lasted, but GD just started kindergarten. We still get to see her, just more sporadically. I went over last night to watch her while her parents went to a concert, she’s staying over Saturday night, and we’re picking her up from school Tuesday because it’s a half day. So I can’t complain, but I do miss the full day, every week.
Same with my D. She even came to our house on Easter in her PJ’s 
(no judgment - she was 4 weeks pp and it was just the 6 of us. I was impressed she made it at all!)
A cozy robe is also a good gift to a new mom. Little kid snatched my giant robe and lived in it while she was on maternity leave.
Don’t wait. Does she have a lactation consultant? If so, son needs to talk to her first. If not, he should call her GYN. She needs to be evaluated.
H and I are currently in Newport, RI in an Airbnb with our GD that just turned 1. Her mom and dad are a half mile away in a hotel for a wedding this weekend. GD is still asleep this morning. She woke up once about 12:30 for a diaper change and took a quick bottle from me and went back to sleep. We are loving this special time with her.
People talk about baby blues and postpartum depression. THere is a gray area in between which lasts longer than baby blues but doesn’t meet the criteria for PPD. This gray area has symptoms e.g. persistent low mood, anhedonia, bonding difficulties, but no suicidality nor psychosis. There is now an ICD-10 code for this, because it is more than an adjustment but not as severe as PPD, major depression, nor severe anxiety.
