    I hope not! Obviously we'll be posting less, but I'll need people to talk about all my baby problems with!

    This: 'Ultimately, what I learned from my own “meternity” leave is that any pressure I felt to stay late at the office wasn’t coming from the parents on staff. It was coming from myself.'

    Also, it's New York Post... so NEXT!
  • Is there a way to tell what store diapers (name brands like Pampers or Huggies) came from? I'm pretty sure I have way too many size 1 diapers (due to my own stockpile before I started receiving them as gifts), and I would like to exchange some for a different size.

  • Well... I officially cannot cross my legs while I am sitting at my desk anymore  :( 
    Due date isn't until the end of May... I don't know how I can possibly make it that much longer. I feel like there is no more room for her to grow.  :o
  • @bshurdy I'm not sure if there is a way to tell, but I know that Walmart tends to do exchanges for diapers no questions asked, no receipt needed.

    Sounds like a mid life crisis to me. Seriously, this woman is all kinds of crazy. Maternity leave isn't just about the mom. Most mothers sacrifice a lot during this time for, oh I don't know, the baby. It's the equivalent of someone who had major surgery and then saying, "so and so must be having the time of their life getting to focus on themselves." Dude, they need that time to heal!

    Most stores will do an exchange for a different size without a receipt if they carry the same brand and box. I would just ask customer service.
  • Lmao I was *just* telling MH and my MIL that I'm about to hire someone to help me shave. I seriously can't see below my belly. I was contorting myself into different positions for a while, and seemed to manage, but it's just not working anymore. And I genuinely hate being prickly. I look forward to when I can get back to my cleanly shaven self

    Surprisingly I can still shave the vajayjay. It might be a lil Edward Scissorhands down there,but its passable. But legs are a whole other story.
    Ditto. I have somehow managed to shave about once a week throughout my pregnancy and have become a master blind groomer! It is the little things...

  • Re:lady parts shaving. I trimmed mine using a mirror and some back lighting. It actually made me feel a lot better, so if you're like me it might just give you a little kick in your step to have a well kept bathing suit area.

    You are so brave to use a mirror. The last time I looked at my lady bits in a mirror was horrifying and traumatizing!

    I just shaved my legs this morning. I'm sure it'll be the last time before this LO is born because it took entirely too much effort to bend that far and the only way I can manage it is by being ambidextrous.
    I plan on attempting one last leg shave tonight. I'm not looking forward to it!

    I'm going to attempt to shave my nether regions using an electric razor and a mirror. I've already warned DH that I may need to enlist his help. I shave his back so it's a fair trade off, right?

    I cut DH's hair (on his head), so he can give me a "down there" trim, right?!

    I asked him, and he said, "How do you know you need a trim?  Can you even still see down there?"

    The answer is yes, I need a trim. No, I can't see it.

  • I had DH clean me up with a trimmer the other day. It was more to make things easier to keep clean after baby comes than any worry about things looking nice for anyone else. 
  • Guys...my recall is gone. Who was it that just recently had the ultrasound & found out their anatomy scan tech was wrong & told them the wrong sex? There's someone on the june board who is going through it now & was looking for support...I can't remember for the life of me who it was. Sorry I suck!! The baby is eating my brain. The other day I put my coffee in my purse...

    lol I tagged you over in her post.  Sorry my brain is no longer functional.  It just took me 3 tries to type "functional."

    So I had my appt today and the doctor came in saying, "So this is the girl that likes to go 42 weeks." (It's in my chart that if I am late, I would like to go to 42 before an induction). I said, "Well, I wouldn't like to." He measures my belly and then looks at me and says, "I think at around 40, we'll be done with this."

    Ummm....excuse me, no. I've only seen him one other time and the 2 other women dr's (who I normally see)have been amazingly supportive with my decisions. Now I'm scared that he will be the one around towards the end and possibly deliver. I can just tell he's one of those old school ones who want things his way or the highway. Ugh. You are not going to tell me that "we" are going to be done with this. YOU are not the one carrying the baby. thanks.

    You got this, lady!  stand your ground and "decline" induction offers if that's what you want!!

  • My mom asked me tonight what the plan if I were to go in to labor at night - should I call her first or just drop off my daughter. What blind hope she has - like spontaneous labor could possibly exist.
