ladies...i forgot we had birthday cannoli left....i just grabbed 2...oh happy day usually i'm not hungry but you ladies are apparently making me ravenous and nothing will fill the hole...
@babygagnon2018 With my first, I had gnarly third degree tear. I'll be honest.... I didn't feel it in the moment because I had an epidural. Recovery was a little tough...it def wasn't pleasant and took about 12 weeks to stop feeling pain. Sex took even longer to start enjoying again (probably around 6 months). However, it was completely worth it and I'm 100% sure if your experience is like mine, you'll think the same
Im glad I’m not the only one with wacky eating habits right now!
In other food related news, has anyone had the new English muffin bagels?? They’re sooooooo good! They’re super fluffy so the butter sinks all the way in.
Omg @hi@hillbillywife I have not heard of these but they sound so good and set off a craving. I find normal bagels too heavy—these sound lighter. Can you get them at a regular grocery store?
I've just received a gift from my registry, and it's the jujube bff diaper bag! So cute and functional! I needed some excitement today since I feel really behind and this was it!
@runsomewhere@chaser61 I talked to my o.b. about the swelling today. He said to lay down more frequently rather than sitting up. But he said the swelling isn't harmful it's just a matter of my comfort
I know we need to start transitioning dd to her toddler bed but I keep putting it off because I don't want my baby to grow up and I know it will be mean less than normal already haha
@hillbillywife love those Bagels!! And less carbs than real bagels so I can have like half of one lol.
Just got home from the chiropractor. She did some adjustments, including Webster, and put that tape on my back with orders to ice over where the tape is. I feel looser and less pain already! If things aren’t much better next week we’ll try a support belt. It felt pretty good to be adjusted and I love how pregnancy knowledgeable she is. She barely touched my belly and knew exactly where the baby is, which I confirmed based on my ultrasound yesterday. Oddly, my son was always shoved up on my right side, and after he was born I had bad pain on my Right side way worse than the left. Now this baby is following the exact same pattern, he’s always on the right, and that’s where the sciatica paIn is worse. I was telling her the left side of my uterus must be really uncomfortable lol.
@zande2016 I knew there had to be more reasons why I should love them! Also- yay for chiropractor appointments. I should see if I can get in somewhere! I’ve heard it’s amazing during pregnancy
@wildtot I’ve been hearing my man child sniffling all day... Hoping and praying it’s just allergies.. I’m still on week 2 of a cold DS gave us all, I’ll be damned if he’s sick again.
The Bump really shouldn't be advertising a story about a mom who died suddenly 27 hours after giving birth at the bottom of the page. It's really pretty insensitive and I of course couldn't help but click on it and now I'm bawling. Screw you, The Bump.
@zande2016 yeah I’m such a sucker for stories like that and yeah, end up bawling.. not cool bump, not cool.
i pulled my pregnancy pillow out the other day. I’ve never enjoyed it but sleeping makes my body hurt so I put part of it between my legs. My hips and butt hurt so bad today. I’m trying to sit in the doctors office while my DS has a speech appointment and it’s killing me.
@carsonraynee I will fully admit they are not cute at all, but Skechers are seriously so comfortable. The agony I've been in has made me not care anymore. Yes, I wore athletic looking shoes with dress pants to work yesterday and didn't give a F.
Ooook anyone else having issues with the bump website? When I try to go directly to www.thebump.com it comes up as a black screen. I've been able to get on the forums by going back through my history and then no issues. ??
I fell asleep at 9:30 last night and it felt like such a victory. 8 hours of sleep on a work night! WooHoo!
@zande2016 I'm on a desktop and all the links and "stories" below are sponsored links that are notorious for random popups, cookies and viruses. I'd stay away. That story does sound super sad though
@runsomewhere I know, I typically ignore them, but I couldn’t help but click on that one after I kept seeing it for like a weeek straight. Freaking click bait. They never even said why she died.
@wildtot that’s bogus lol. It’s supposed to help always! Might have to kick it back to the curb.
I gave sketchers flip flops that are comfy af! Definitely not super cute.
I had had several dreams last night. One of them was really stressful but I don’t remember what it was about. The other was that the baby was 9 lbs at birth and I was freaking out because (in real life) I just bough a bunch of newborn sized clothes.
@lindsayleigh1989 I totally agree! I'm sad about how quickly BMBs are becoming total ghost towns.
I will say that I do occasionally lurk on the July BabyCenter BMB. It's really active and while it breaks my heart to pieces I love that all babies are honored there.
I got added to a FB group by a friend but I prefer the bump I just wish that it was less glitchy!
So as I mentioned we sold the desk I hated and that was preventing me from finishing the nursery, the guy is picking it up on Saturday and my husband had the wonderful idea to tell him that there is an additional piece to the desk that he could have for free.
Where is said piece ? The dreaded STORAGE UNIT. DH had some hoarding issues, lol, mostly he was used to Texas space when he moved so he dragged a bunch of stuff here. He recently reorganized the unit, I'll give him that. So this am we woke up early to fish for this damn piece (I was just moving light stuff and spotting him) and I got so much anxiety. Why do we have all this crap?? I totally forgot he has some of his old furniture in there.
I immediately planned to go back there at some point and cleaned it out, then I said F it, I don't wanna touch that sh** until we move into a bigger place (don't care if that means 2 years). Christmas decorations are the only thing I may need to access and they are in the front, so everything else can rot in there, bahaha!
@zg49 Usually a group of active members will transition to facebook usually right around or after birth as it is more secure for sharing pictures and more private.

*edit because spelling
@kissableviv yay! What a great gift!!
@lindsayleigh1989 I totally cried when we put DD in her big girl bed the first time.

That being said it looks like I’m today’s lucky Amazon giftcard winner!
