-I'm totally letting myself be bothered by my post baby muffin top. I know it will go away with time, this is my third so it might take a little longer, and I'm working out so it will happen. I know all that rationally. But I seriously hate it! I may go get a haircut this weekend to make myself feel better about myself (as shallow as that is)
-(this one will get me flamed I'm sure). I really wish we could give away our dog. (It was my husband's dog to begin with). I'm not a pet person, dh isn't around enough to take care of him as much now with work so it all falls to me, and for no reason he has started peeing on rugs! I've tried everything to teach him to stop, he still gets plenty of attention, he never used to do this, and I just can't take it anymore! If it weren't for my kids attachment to him I would be actively looking for someone nice to give him to.
I am happy to be back at work. I still have major mommy guilt, but work is somewhere where I know that I am doing everything right and there is actual feedback on my activities. I did get my first smile this morning though!!!
I'm doing reverse bump pictures. I didn't do many bump pictures because I was so overweight to start that I didn't really feel like I looked pregnant for a long time. I asked my husband all of the time "do I look fat it pregnant?" I took a picture in just my bra and underwear the day I went in and had her. Then same pose 1 week post birth, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, a month, and now 2 months. It feels weird to be doing post pregnancy bump pictures but I have loved seeing my shape changing again and it is reinforcement to keep up with my healthy eating and exercise. I'm sad to say (but proud to say?) I look better now than I did prepregnancy.
@adiaz132003 I have done that once or twice before it happens.
My ffc is that it's 1pm and LO is still in his sleep sack. He is just sleeping so much today since he didn't nap at all yesterday and I don't want to wake him up!
Today's been so rough that I've spent the majority of it either on the verge of tears or full-blown ugly-crying. Just can't help it, feeling pretty defeated at the moment. I know I'm doing the best that I can and that bad days are inevitable. Tomorrow is another day and has the potential to be great, just gotta keep my head up and focus on one day at a time.
I routinely have to pick dog hair off of/ out of DD's mouth, but I'd rather do that than clean my house. Thank god for our roomba or she'd have a fur coat of her own!

Omg I love mine! It's not the roomba brand but works the same. I named it Sheldon cause it's both very smart yet very stupid at the same time. Lol

I'm sorry! I had one of those days on Wednesday. I'm definitely glad for the chance to start over each day. Hang in there!
I threw a grown woman tantrum because my hubby who is a photographer is going to spend the day tomorrow taking photos of his parents and I'm mad because Sunday is my birthday and I feel he should have to spend the entire weekend with me lol. Sorry not sorry!
@AmberLiz99 Our dog is driving me crazy to the point of pondering the same thing. She's great with the baby and I know this is a tough adjustment for her, being used to getting all of our attention and such. She's taken to barking randomly, especially if it's quiet in the condo. I can't tell you how many times she has woken up our son after I've spent ages getting him to nap. When I tell her "no" and "stop she still does it as she slinks away, almost like she's back-talking. So frustrating! My husband says she might just be hearing things that my ears can't pick up. Maybe, I dunno.
She also loves to grab her ball and make this horrendously loud, continuous noise and never fails to do it right next to my napping son (I've started leaving her ball outside to avoid this).
She's going to make a great companion for the kiddo and I do love her to bits so we'd never actually get rid of her but dang girl, chill out!
Oh and I had Wendy's for lunch today. Yup, no regrets.

So our dog started doing the same thing, and I took her to the vet and she had a UTI. She is 9 and never had accidents in the house, so the random peeing confused me. Something to look into.
Also my baby isnt even two weeks old and I'm weighing myself everyday...so pathetic. But I went 42 weeks and i just want my normal body back. And I'm impatient in everything in life!
@xc1148 I almost always weigh myself daily. I have a weight tracker app on my phone and I look for trends. I also like right now seeing that I am less weight now than I was this time last summer before I lost 20lbs to get pregnant with this little one.
I haven't weighed myself once since giving birth. I also hate my muffin top but obviously not that much because I'm not doing a whole lot about it except buying bigger clothes. Haha.
I made a point not to weigh myself during the pregnancy and I haven't done it pp either. I'll let the dr. office do that for me. (I can get a little too crazy with weight control if I'm not careful so it's best if I just keep away from the scale and focus on eating well and staying active.) My 6wk appt was on Tuesday and apparently I weigh less than I did pre-pregnancy. You wouldn't know it when you look at my stomach BUT I'll take that as a win nonetheless.

ETA- I'm watching her on the monitor while I eat a hot dog and potato chips for lunch... Looks like I have 2 FFCs!
