Today I bought a heating pad for my back, and I seriously cannot believe it took me so long... It feels SO much better-it's unreal.

The newest newb seems like not a troll. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.

@AprilMay9 Are you talking about the smoking-weed-while-debating-the-paternity-of-my-child chick?

Lindsay808 · December 2013

Those who know what the Chive is...

SIL got me a "KCCO" shirt for Christmas. What in the world? I will admit, I use to go on there to look at the funny animal pictures but the half-naked girl posts and "KCCO" culture began to repulse me.

Is this real life?

Talking about seafyr. Almost posted "welcome" in response to her intro but figured it would be a matter of hours before she asked about weight gain or who her baby daddy is.

I see it now. I don't want to get my hopes up, but she seems reasonably normal so far. Gonna keep my fingers crossed, because if I see another "how much do you weigh" thread my head will explode.

I may have just felt my first kick from the outside. Will be 22w Tuesday. Is the baby above my belly button yet? It was very distinct right above my belly button. I usually feel movement much lower. Sorry know everyone hates movement posts.

Yes, baby should be a little above your bellybutton by now. I think in general your uterus reaches your bellybutton by 20 weeks or so.

@embear22 that is a very close estimate!! Just throw in a little Wilford Brimley and it's spot on. He wore a bolero tie and a belt buckle the size of my bouquet to our wedding

thomas930 · December 2013

Ahh I just might scratch my boobs off!!! Found out that yes, I do have PUPPS

Also, talk went really well with my midwife. Thanks for all the support, I truly appreciate all of your kind words. ((hugs)) all around!

My 60 year old mother wiped the floor with the rest of us in bowling today. DH was actively trying to beat her. Then she beat him again tonight playing apples to apples. Her response: " Wow, how does it feel to get beat by an old lady twice today?"

Sometimes it's good to be home. I haven't laughed so much in a while!

Congrats on your baby girl! That's pretty annoying that your mom has to argue it on FB.

Thanks!

Of course, we have plenty of gender neutral clothing ready to roll anyway, since I couldn't resist shopping for baby clothes before we could tell what the baby's sex would be. So, even if we're in the five percent, we're in pretty good shape. lol

Medic99 · December 2013

I have wanted to go buy a bunch of pregnancy tests just to see the cashier's face or hear their response. You know with the big belly on full display.

Mine too. Feels like they were stuck in a vice!!!

DH got me a pregnancy pillow for Christmas

I'm so excited.

He ordered it online and it isn't here yet so instead he got a big box, one of our old pillows and wrote on it "It's like this but bigger and cooler and better. I LOVE YOU!!" Right then I knew what it was lol

snmetz7 · December 2013

I really don't want to go to work tomorrow. I really don't even know why we are open.

pineconey · December 2013

Got up way too early, travelled all day, and now I'm wide awake and DH is snoring. *sigh* hello Michigan!

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. Hubs wants to see it so bad.... I REALLY don't want to. Why can't guys go to the movies with other guys... boys are weird.

My hubs will watch a solo movie in a hot minute. This seriously cuts down on the movies he makes me watch that I have zero interest in.. It also means sometimes he goes to watch a movie by himself that I really want to see, and then I get to tell him what a turd he is

michaelad3 · December 2013

I don't want to work tomorrow either. On the plus side, I got most of the gifts wrapped when I got home from work tonight, and I made one of the desserts I'm bringing for Christmas, so that cuts down on what I have to try to get done tomorrow night

My h is annoying me. Insisting on getting pizza tonight when I just did a huge grocery shopping. He does this all the time. We throw away so much food.

ugh iHATE this. hubs always wants to order in right after I go shopping... seriously? blarg men!

This. DH brought home a birthday cake shake and chicken strips KNOWING I was cooking chili tonight! I was so pissed... But then he shared his chicken strips, and the baby was all, "that DID hit the spot.." Eff. This is probably why that silly man thinks he is cute enough to get away with shit like this.

On skype with MIL and she asks to see my belly. After is how her, the first comment is "omg you are so much bigger than your last pregnancy." I laughed and said I am the same weight thanks but think I am carrying higher. When we all got off I just said to DH, wow people say the stupidest things to pregnant women and he says "what". I repeat her comment and he said, I didn't think that was rude. Before I just rolled my eyes. Now I am annoyed. Oy.

Visiting my in-laws now and hadn't seen them since I started showing. My weight seemed to be a popular topic last night. Even though I know they are the sweetest people ever and never said anything intentionally to make me feel bad, I was still upset.

Eija3014 · December 2013

Any of the other tatted mommas itching for a new piece? I'm actually looking forward to getting a new tattoo after LO is born more than drinking and eating all the no-no's! I got my largest piece touched up early this year and wanted to, but didn't end up getting anything new between then and summer. Then you know how the story goes...

I have no idea what I want.. Hoping it will come to me as soon as I meet this little man! Tattoos are like wearing my heart on my sleeve, literally, when big stuff happens I document it. I'll have plenty of time to decide though, we're hoping to bf for at least a good six months provided the kiddo and my boobs cooperate and getting tattoos while bf is as much a bad idea as getting them while pregnant.

thomas930 · December 2013

@Eija3014 YES!! ME! I was supposed to start my new tattoo the week that I found out I was pregnant. I'll probably wait until next August since it was supposed to be a bday gift anyways.

Eija3014 · December 2013

@JessieAlbin I'm the same way. SO and I want to get "matching" tattoos dedicated to the baby but we have zero ideas yet, just throwing around that concept. I was actually just wondering about this - I'm glad you mentioned it! I wasn't sure how soon after she's here that I'd be able to get something. Our BF goal is six months too so looks like my wait will be even longer! Totally worth it though

@thomas930 oh no, bummer!

But at least you'll have PLENTY of time to plan out what you want

thomas930 · December 2013

@JessieAlbin I'm curious, why do you suggest that its bad to get tattoos while breastfeeding? I've done some reading on this and from what I've found, the biggest concern is infections, but if you go to a reputable place and take care of the healing process then it shouldn't be an issue. Is it more of a "why take the risk" situation?

I haven't talked to my tattoo artist about this yet, so I don't even know if he will tattoo BF women. I may have to wait since he is the only person I'll go to...which stinks since I really want my new one and I was planning on BF for 12-24 months.

irisheyez7 · December 2013

So is Dec 13 still doing the weekend update? I haven't seen it lately and I know the author had her baby but if so BOY OH BOY has there been plenty of fodder from this board lately!

JessieAlbin · December 2013

@thomas930 the main reason for most regulatory bodies forbidding a tattoo artist from knowingly tattooing a woman who is breast feeding is the risk of infection inherent in inflicting an intentional wound. Obviously taking good care of the tattoo while healing it is going to significantly reduce risk of what I would call a stupid infection (I.e., if you blatantly ignore the professional's instructions in healing because you "know better" or don't care), however you would be disturbed at just how easy it is for you to pick up an infection on any broken skin. We forget that tattoos are a pretty large spot of broken, compromised skin. Also, since your body has to "focus" on healing said wound, so to speak, you are more likely to have complications fighting off any other nastiness, and it is best practice for a conscientious artist to turn down your business until your kid is weaned. Technically if they know you are breast feeding and they tattoo you anyway and you have a very terrible worst case scenario, they are liable to a degree.

As a former professional artist, I can attest to the vast majority of tattooers who, while otherwise very proficient at their craft, don't always have access to the best education about these kind of liabilities, and a tattoo artist who may do absolutely stunning work won't always tell you this stuff because they just aren't well informed themselves about the liabilities etc depending on the regulatory bodies they are subject to. The bare minimum of most required education on this is largely focused on prevention of the spread of blood borne pathogens, and doesn't scratch the surface of tattoo specific wound care and risks.

Made it back to the Mitten - four hour drive with the two cats and the dog in tow... Everyone behaved surprisingly well, and now my parents' house is a zoo with our fur babies, my sister's dog and my parents' two dogs. Cue the insanity music...

On a funny note, we found out that my sister's dog is afraid of our 10 pound cat, and the cat was exploiting the discovery quite well! (The dog is around 20 pounds.)

Who made cheesecake!? I did! I'm so excited to eat it. Would it be bad to keep in the fridge until Christmas Day instead of eating it tomorrow?

JessieAlbin · December 2013

Little man only kicks hard when his daddy is passed the hell out in the middle of the night. He's been pretty active all night but just had five, super noticeable ninja kicks to the belly which I felt easily with my hand... This baby is determined to keep his movements our little secret for a while!

My little girl was the same way! DH has finally felt one or two but she was moving like crazy for weeks and every time he would put his hand down she would stop! I am 26 weeks today and now she is getting bigger and running out of room though...when she moves around above my belly button you can actually see it from the outside...very strange and "alienesque"! He finally felt her squirm for a good while last night, the look on his face is priceless!

This is me! I document te big things. I have a micro tat planned that I wanted to get when I found out I was pregnant, and Hubby and I are going to get matching family tattoos when it's healthy for me to do so. Right now our tattoo fund is going towards getting one of his fixed. He had a piece added to six mints ago and the guy didn't do a good job. I'm so sad, because I love all his other tattoos and this one now looks like a big black cover-up instead of an add on. Anyway. Yes, I can't wait for my next tattoo.

BiggerinRealLife · December 2013

Got muh snoogle! I got the huge u-shaped one that wraps all around and it's taken a night or two to get used to but I am so happy! And it's huge! DH calls it "The Mother Ship."

Today is the big Christmas celebration here in Denmark and in Iceland. So, Merry Christmas/Gleðileg jól/Glædileg jul everyone!!!

Now I'm going to go feed ma baby some duck and rice pudding!!

michaelad3 · December 2013

I shouldn't be awake right now. It's not quite 4am, but I woke up and can't sleep anymore. I don't feel all that great, but I have to work in a few hours, so I should probably attempt sleep again. I appreciated the bump diversion though. I hope you all are having a good morning!

Mamamonzo · December 2013

I'm completely devistated right now. I was sleeping on the couch and thought I heard two of the cats rough housing. It sounded intense so I sat up to yell at them and noticed it was just one baby on the floor all ridged thrashing around. She then made this horrible cry. I figure she was having a seizure. I screamed for DH and by the time he got downstairs she was curled up in a corner and didn't want to be touched. DH thinks it could have been a Charlie horse because she is limping now. She is my baby and DH used her to propose to me, so she is very very special to me. I can't imagine life without her.

katieharpiceland · December 2013

@mamamonzo ooooh! That's so hard. Good thoughts that everything is just fine with your sweet furbaby.

I love Will Farrell but I just have never been a fan of Anchorman. Step Brothers on the other hand...
