@yasandson  That is A W E S O M E that your husband gets to be home with you for 2 months!!

@winterecho I put the lotion that I rub on my belly on my boobs & nipples too. I'm sure you could try lanolin cream. I would think that what ever you are using on your belly (if you are putting on lotion/coco butter) will be fine too.

@vbonitto Congrats on passing your glucose test! After my glucose test, I couldn't even think about anything sweet without feeling sick. Hopefully the dizzy & faint feeling will pass in a few days!

Update: I passed my glucose test! Thankfully, because I did NOT want to have to go through that mess again.

@feeislove That is great news!!

STM here.. @winterecho I've used cocoa butter Vaseline too. Daily I put my cocoa butter lotion on. You'll want to make sure you have Lanolin on hand if you're nursing- it'll help you from cracking.

Would love to swap freezer meal ideas! I plan on using my crock pot a lot after baby comes too.
