The gifs in the "you know you're in labor when" thread are disappointing. I wish I could gif

Any of you ever gum at a kid's belly and make "nom nom" noises to make them laugh?  Or have DH/SO do it to your bump trying to interact with LO?

That's what it feels like LO is doing.  From the inside.

It feels weird enough when Daddy does that on the outside, Kiddo, knock it off! O.o;;

@aronie82, welcome back!  I can vouch for the Milkies Milk Saver.  I was able to build up a freezer stash without pumping, just collecting milk on my non-nursing side.  

Before I got my Milkies, I would stuff a newborn diaper in my bra.  I used cloth diapers on my son, but the newborn diapers we got from the hospital to as nursing pads.

Part 1: I love that you posted those two things back to back
Part 2: I just pounded some nachoes from the leftover fajitas we made for dinner.

I was so confused for a second! I thought I missed something in the last 20 minutes or so!

Going to Chili's forever reminds me of looney tunes Springs whatnot. Every time I order a side of ranch or tip 20% I fondly remember her ;-)

I was just thinking about my loose skin from DS, and I can still totally pull out loose skin from the bottom of my belly, while the top of my belly is stretched to the max and getting new stretch marks. Well done, skin, well done.

Tonight was so hard. I honestly don't know how we're going to make it until Wednesday when we ((((hopefully)))) get MIL's test results back. This all is killing her, and it's killing us.

My BP has been checking a bit higher than usual tonight (not HIGH, just ~10 points higher than I am used to). Now I am going to be all nervous until I can recheck in the morning. Guh. I figured at nearly 36 weeks I would be over the paranoia.

((Hugs)) @BiggerinRealLife‌. It's such a hard time right now, but stick close to those you love. Our prayers are with you!

Eta: my stupid autocorrect makes me sound like an idiot

Bluebird2318

(((Hugs))) @BiggerinRealLife‌ ! I am so sorry that you are dealing with all this weight on your heart right now.

It's healthy because there's fruit in it. Banana, cherry, and strawberry!

It bugs me when people type "weary" but actually mean "leery" or "wary."

Me too! So much. I'm glad I'm not alone

I'm wide awake, peeing every second and the only thing stopping me from sleeping in the nursery tonight (because of bf's snoring) is the fact that I need to put some sheets on the bed.

My mouth has a horrible taste- like I've licked a shoe or something. I've brushed my teeth, used mouthwash, had a ginger chew, ate pineapple, etc. no change. This has been going on for about 6 hours. Grosssss.

Am I in labor?

irisheyez7

Damn, now I really want chili's chips and salsa.

hvmom2b said:

Sometimes we order a side of ranch to mix with Chili's salsa and it is amazing. Ok, everytime...

Yes, their avacado ranch is a must with the chips and salsa!

Mmmmm...avocado ranch?!?! Must go to chili's next time we're stateside. Ranch sounds really good right now, actually.

I woke up to a pregnant nose! Seriously it is like twice the size it used to be. Please tell me ill get my pretty little nose back (.

My stomach won't let me go back to sleep. I didn't know how painful hunger pains could be. (

I ate an entire pint of chocolate fudge brownie ice cream while reading the weight loss thread. Ben n Jerry's FTW!

One of the best things to come out of VT.

@mrscrcalli‌ didn't you know? We need to look just the way we used to within a month of birthing. Otherwise we are doomed to be creatures of the night, obese and unsightly. Whateverrrrrr. I've been fat my whole life and I've got a man who loves me and I bet my kid will too. As long as I'm a kickass wife and a good mom, my looks can be what they will.

This. I honestly have 0 plans or fucks to give until late this summer or fall and then I'll start thinking about getting back into an exercise routine. These crazy bitches who want to run a marathon or some shit this summer - my head is spinning.

kseccomb17 said:

Why do people keep saying "it'll melt right off" re baby weight. Ummm.. that definitely gave me huge false hope last time around because I worked my ass off and still couldn't lose it all. 

Melts off my ass...it took me 3 years last time for it to "melt off." Whatever.

katieharpiceland said:

I actually feel sorry for the people that are so concerned with weight loss after birth. Its like they never give themselves a break to accept the fact that something AMAZING has happened and you'll never be the same. And that never being the same is TOTALLY ok and even a great thing!

Right?! Fuck.

Yesterday was a complete fail. I kept having contractions on and off all day, but then around 2:30pm I started having hot flashes and my heart began racing. I have a heart condition where my heart doesn't process adrenaline correctly, which is one of the reasons I had a csection with my DS. After 3 episodes of my heart racing in less than 2 hours, I went to the Hospital. Oh I tried calling my dr office after the first episode, but didn't get a call back until hours later. They hooked me up, said baby looked great and one of my doctors came by and said he was sending me home. I told him I wasn't concerned about LO, I knew he was ok! I was worried about my heart! He told me to just lay down the rest of the night so if it happens and I pass out, I won't hit my head. I am so beyond frustrated with the doctors here in this town. I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm beginning to have no faith that my conditions are taken seriously here. My csection is Friday, I just need to make it until then

Weightloss thread just got nasty. Wow.

Vinny424 said:

Inplannon doing weightwatchers after baby. They accommodate how much you eat if you breastfeed and I can still eat cake. Being able to eat cake is defiantly a priority.

I did WW, loved it! I am a personal trainer and know what to do to lose the weight, it's just a matter of no fucks to give right away. I also fully intend on offering my services (at no cost) for any bumpie that would like a free meal or exercise plan...like later this year. I'm taking the summer off
