  • @cmerribury This happened to me earlier this year!! I suggested to my work that we (aka an outsourced company) create a promotional sales video. I got some quotes and then they asked if I could do it myself. Ummmm if I could make animated videos that cost 2-10k, I wouldn't be working here lol. I ended up making a crappy video myself just to show them the difference.
    It happens almost any time someone asks for a legitimate product...a video, an animation, a cover design, anything and everything. I am not a videographer, I am not an animator, I do have a bachelors degree in art and a background in design and if I CAN'T do it...no one else here can either. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it just feels like asking the grocer to check out the weird noise your car is making because you think he may charge you less for his time.

    Amen. My company recently hired a "marketing" person that was expected to both do admin work AND be proficient in graphic design. I'm sorry, but if you want to pay someone admin salary, you're going to get what you paid for in terms of their design ability.

  • Even with my prenatals,  I still feel like I'm not being nutritious enough.  I used to be all veggies and no starches- and a veggie over fruits kinda gal.  The first thing my doctor told me at my very first appointment after being diagnosed with PCOS is to start a prenatal vitamin to help prepare my body for possible pregnancy.  I've been taking prenatals for the last 4 years but to see my diet falling apart kinda kills me lol.  The last 4 years have been dedicated to a tough diet and a lot of exercise and now I get little of either.

  • @charley15 I feel exactly the same way. I worked my butt off (exercise every day, eating right 99% of the time, low to no sugar, no carbs, all veg, a little lean protein...etc.) to lose 32 pounds...then had two pregnancies and losses and now this pregnancy. The weight just keeps piling on. 

    Try to remember to be gentle with yourself. It's hard work making a human and we aren't always in control of what's happening in our bodies (what we want, what we don't, etc.) while pregnant. At 6 weeks postpartum (on the nose) I'm starting an exercise regime again...we can be workout buddies if you'd like. :)

  • Thanks @cmerribury :)  That's what I had planned on doing too.  at 6 weeks pp the weather will be just warm enough so we can hit the trails and the park.  I'm also hoping my appetite returns so I can drop the baby weight.  My mother seems to think we are going to be doing the same 1/2 marathon we did this summer again in July- but I think she is crazy!  I can't take my baby with me, And I don't want to be away from him for 3 days... but I will help her train and I will go to be her spectator if she wants me to- that way I can take the LO with me :)

  • My poor DH. He works so hard and worries so much about money and taking care of us. I love him dearly.

    Last year his company was bought out and during the merger a woman who had previously left ended up coming back as some kind of project manager. She apparently didn't leave on great terms and returned on even worse. DH has put about 7 months of work into this project (the one that requires him to be gone 3 weeks a month). Today she pulled him from the project claiming that he hasn't completed any of the required tasks she's given him. He's spent his day pulling emails and evidence proving that she's lying and thankfully his supervisor and boss are both siding with him. I just feel so horrible because he works so hard and it's garbage that this lady is basically dragging his name through the mud over a grudge from before he even worked there.
  • My sympathy to you @SarahFoley725
  • I'm sorry, @SarahFoley725, what a jerk! 

    Mmm, that soup sounds good, @ecwk...do you roast the veg first?

    OMG!!! One of my coworkers brought in her baby boy!!!  It was soo nice to hold a baby!!! :)  He turned 1 week old today and is soo adorable!!! <3

    I hung out with my bestie and her 1 month old all morning... then I smelled like baby the rest of the day... I was happy

    That made me think of something, are people going to want to sniff my kid?  I think that is so weird.
    Yes. Yes they will.

    It is weird.... I mumble as I lean in and sniff your baby... but the baby smell is so awesome

    You mean a random non contributor comes to the bump to take users off the site and they actually reacted?

    @cmerribury no I don't but I imagine that would be great!! I should try it! I soften onion and garlic and add carrots, pepper, zucchini, celery and potato. I might add different veggies depending on what I have. I season well and use fresh herbs too. Pour some stock over it but not too much because I don't like watery soup, let it simmer away and blitz it all up with my blender. Voilà! Super easy and yummy but like I definitely want to try roasting the veggies too! On a related note: guess who is trying her hand at Frito Pie tonight?!? (Hint - it's me ;) ) I haven't held a newborn baby in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaages!!!! I can't wait!!!!
    AWESOME, I'll give it a go...thanks!
