BUT a @milkstork rep said that in the future, they "hope my next experience will be flawless." Great vote of confidence in their own service. Another expensive "convenience" for working moms turns out to be stress-inducing and unreliable.

The milk was still pretty cold when it got here, which was a minor miracle, but CDC guidelines say it only lasts for four days in the fridge, so now I get to research whether any of the milk is plausibly usable.

The craziest part is that according to FedEx's tracking, the milk was at Dulles airport for the entire weekend - only 30 miles away from me! And yet it didn't arrive until midday on Monday.

PSA for other moms who travel for work: . Overnight breast milk delivery services like @MilkStork *sound* great until the milk that you spent hours pumping arrives three days late thanks to an unexplained @FedEx delay. (Yes, this just happened to me.).

“When a Democrat’s in, I support” a strong presidency, Bidon said. “When Republicans are in, I don’t support it that much. It’s sort of a wishy-washy thing.”. 💯opening quote in our latest @AP poll story by @NickRiccardi @LinleyAnn

If you are in a similar position and want to chat about how to handle a job search, hit me up. This is not something I felt prepared to do, and would love to pass along any helpful info I can, or even just validate that job transitions during pregnancy/postpartum are possible!.

And also -even if you're pregnant or just had a baby, a new job is still possible. I almost didn't consider this position because it posted when I was 7 months pregnant and I assumed I wouldn't be able to interview on their timeline or start many months later. I was wrong!.

Pregnancy/early postpartum are complicated times to be interviewing for jobs or starting something new. Grateful to @EL_Swan and the AP team for making this as easy as possible.
