Holy crap @Missfunball‌ I would not take that message well either.

@babycaps‌ LO (4 months) has had a cold for 2-3 days. She has green mucus with some blood in it, but no fever. We are out of town, do I need to call her pediatrician?

Hugs @bunnyfungo

@bunnyfungo‌ (& @tsmith312‌) that work situation must be stressful! Yikes! Sorry you have to deal with that.

Ahutch428

Thanks! @babycaps‌ the bathroom thing really helped. We are at the beach, so kind of dry.

@Missfunball‌ that is so rude! I'm sorry she is acting like that.

@bunnyfungo‌ I'm sorry! I hope things get better soon.

On Sunday I felt nauseated after we went to lunch (probably because I can't control myself at this restaurant's buffet). First thing I did when we got home was POAS. BFN of course or you would have heard about it by now.

It's my trip, dh isn't coming and so I want to pay for most if not all with my own money.

I sound like a broken record but I will buy all the headbands

What does POAS AND BFN stand for?

This reminds me, I think @amybug13 requested a list of Bump acronyms. Here's the ones I can think of off the top of my head:

TB - The Bump

LO - Little one

DH/DS/DD - Dear husband/son/daughter

MH - My husband

POAS - pee on a stick (take a pregnancy test)

BFN/BFP - Big fat negative/positive (regarding pregnancy tests)

YGPM - You've got a private message 

T&P - Thoughts and prayers

I know I'm missing a bunch. Hopefully that will make us sound (read?) less like monkeys slapping at keyboards.

@jtizzay hugs sorry you are going through a rough patch. I recommend and amazing book called love is never enough. It helps with communication and negative perceptions and to avoid negativity cycles. Works best when both people read it.

Sanibel21

@jtizzay I'm sorry to hear about you and DH. It is amazing how much these tiny little people change everything. I hope you got some sleep and things smooth over soon.

Bltbear82

I'm sorry @jtizzay, hope you're feeling better today. When I found out I was pregnant a friend told me that we couldn't take anything either of us said to heart when we were sleep deprived. Easy to say, really hard to do.

Oh you sell headbands? Post a link. I have a certified addiction...

jtizzay sorry to hear your troubles. Internet hugs! I know the feeling of needing a nice sleep and a work out. Hope you get it!

Thanks for the support ladies. I know a lot of us are in the same spot. I just don't know how to communicate now. I do everything for the baby. My DH leaves at 7 am and comes home at 7/730/8. He commutes 30 min. I get up when he does at 630 and get myself and the baby ready and fed. Nanny comes at 8. I rush to work and work super intensely with no breaks except pump breaks and I usually do work during. Then I race home by 6/615 and start our night routine. It takes me until about 8/830 for lo to be down and out. We spend about 2 hours together before bed. At that point I've had zero alone or personal time all day. In wxhausted and overwhelmed and typically have more work I need to log on to finish. Luckily lo sleeps the night. Yesterday DH went to dinner w his friends which he does like once a month. I'm totally cool w it I just am so envious and jealous and hate that I have no free time. Our dog is also acting up and barks so much and wakes the baby which makes me cry. I only slept 1-5 last night because I was so upset so today is a disaster. So thank you. Thank you for listening. @NorthernLghts‌ commute shortening is amazing. Fx

I'm sorry, I know how much it sucks to work so much and not have any alone time with DH or LO. I get up at 5 and leave by 6:30 every morning. DH and I both have been so busy with work, he works even when he's home. I love LO so much and couldn't imagine our lives with out her, but its defiantly a different pace of life.

Idk who did this but they put the handles in the middle so I did half yesterday and dh didn't notice so I did the second half of them today. I think they look better.

That looks much better !! Who would put them in the middle like that ?

tsmith312

I just put in my 2 week notice. Bittersweet , but I'm so excited to spend my days with LO !

tsmith312

F15 has  HDBD, Hey look at my 9 week blump......

@tsmith312‌ congrats!

tsmith312

Thanks ladies ! It was bittersweet and the girls are sad I'm leaving, but I'm not. I'm ready to be with LO !

BTBergstrom

1-2x a week?? Who has time or energy!! I used to be the type of person who loved sex and wanted it all the time. Now I could care less im to tired!

I really hate drs appts that take entirely to long. I had to take lo with me to my appt today and it was perfect timing right after her morning nap but the appt took so long she was getting tired and cranky! I don't know why one person has to take me to do my weight and blood pressure then go sit back in the waiting room then go back to see the dr then back to the waiting room to wait for blood draw then back to get blood draw...couldn't they stream line this?! Plus I had to go back and forth carrying lo and pushing her stroller since she didn't want to sit on it anymo

Its a satire website @Kacie‌. It got me at first too.

Does that mean it's fake? Cuz omfg

fake but it's supposed to get you to think. Kind of Jarring that some people equate us NIP to the heeby jeebies we got from the idea of a 12 year old nursing

Someone on the subway have me their seat because "you're pregnant right?" Awesome. This coincides with the day I reached my pre pregnancy weight ok my scale (and I'm not really over wieght). Today was a fail. A complete and utter fail of 24 hours. Next

why do some people think they have the right to talk to them about their bodies?  

IDGAF if its are you pregnant or you don't look like you just had a baby....just shut up.  its not cool

sorry @jtizzay that you ran into one of these dumb mutha fuckas

WoodShopGirl

I feel like a bad bumpie these days! I miss you girls.

Working and DH traveling all the time and taking care of A is sucking the life out of me. @jtizzay‌ I could have written the post about how your day goes. Hang in there momma. We do what we do cause we love them.

Glad you got to quit @tsmith312‌!

I know I am missing a bunch more congrats/hugs/etc. sorry!

Kewii

@tsmith312 Congrats!

@torilea that's so ridiculous it's funny

My best friend is coming to town from New York this weekend. It's stressing me out because I have no idea what to do with her.

Plus our mutual friends want us to get together after she gets in.  I'm too lame now to go out at 10 pm on a Friday.  I really don't want to, but otherwise she won't get to see them.

SO I had another follow up appointment yesterday with my GP due to my high blood pressure from pregnancy. Its gone down since my last visit in May but the bottom number is still too high. The only thing my dr told me to do was continue exercising ( because I have time for that ) and eat healthy ( which I do 80% of the time ). And contuine to loose weight.So I guess shes trying to tell me I'm chunky and thas why my BP is high , she put a damper on my awesome day I was having. I'm only 8 pounds away from pre-prego weight and had lost 2 since last visit.

 

OK rant/vent over for the day !

@tsmith312‌ will working from home help at all? Maybe add in two short walks with lo? It sucks to feel not awesome about yourself physically. I'm in that same trough. I started (comically) doing squats during pumping and I so leg lifts and butt work during tummy time. I also so push ups and ab work over and with her and she laughs like it's amazing. Something to try...

I think being home will help, instead of waking up at 5 to feed her and get ready for the day, maybe I can get a run in with my awesome jogging stroller I haven't used yet haha. I currently have to be at work now at 7 a.m.so I have to leave my house by 6:30 a.m. . When I'm home I wont have anything to do until 8 a.m. . So hopefully some work outs are in my future !

Edit to add: Its also hard eating healthy at my desk all day, maybe while Im home it will be easier for me to eat healthier. I felt like I was loosing more while I was on mat leave then actually coming to work .

I think they look better.

It's actually quite common where I've lived in Canada. Several homes (10-30 years old) that I've looked at had handles in the middle of the doors. DH and I roll our eyes because its so impractical.
It would drive me nuts. Almost as nuts as the stupid knobs that are on ours that we keep getting our fingers stuck under. Hurts like a mofo if you get a finger stuck while opening the door.

I like going to the Private Groups page and looking at the 'threads' that people have started.
Too bad they don't realize those are 'Groups' to join, and they should be asking their questions on a BMB or tri board...or pretty much any place other that creating a group with very specific criteria.

There are so many groups with 0 or 1 discussions. 8-}

kstar83

someone please help me get motivated to try to fit back into my work clothes... if only these boobs would quit...geez

jennybean80

I made it to about 13 months last time, but had to be done BFing at least 3 months before starting IVF so quit at that point. By that age it's usually only a couple times a day (wake-up and bed time is pretty common) so it's not so much for nutrition but for the bonding and comfort.

This distracted phase of bf is getting old.

........Anyway, H has already touched base with her H about meeting the baby. We explained to let us know when they were ready for visitors because we know very well how hard the first few weeks are. I just got this from her mom (names removed for privacy):

"Hi J, This is J mom & I'm sure you heard about little sweet E's birth! Here is a link to the food schedule. They only setup 4 days a week & J said to let you know you could do any of these days or a day not on the schedule just let her know! thanks R"

I have a feeling my friend didn't ask her mom to send this to me. This lady is so weird!

Okay, first, I had never heard of a 'food tree/schedule" until DS1 was born. I certainly never had one. I actually feel it's a bit presumptuous. But that's probably just me. So...are they trying to say that if you want to visit you must schedule the day and bring food with you? I guess I'd be avoiding...I don't take kindly to instructions like that. Uh

wearallthebabies

@FarmBoysWife I'm sorry that happened to you. I have yet to get AF PP and I am sure it will be the one day a month I wear my white skirt. I actually really should probably re-stock my essentials for that, because currently I would be screwed if she popped in for a visit! :-/

wearallthebabies

@bsouls That sounds absolutely awful! I really hope they get that figured out soon! Did you have the same problem before you were pregnant? My AF pre-pregnancy was awful every month as I am on blood thinners and can't take BC- so I bleed a sh*t ton and am in severe pain for at least a day. I am hoping that when I start again (hopefully not until I am done BF) they won't be bad, but I imagine the first one at least is going to be a doozy!!!
