I just googled a picture of a placenta. WHY!?!?

This made me curious and now I'm going to have nightmares.

I just received my first sewing machine!! It's an older model so it took some playing around but I finally figured out how to work it and I'm having so much fun!!!

This is a SS question for you ladies, especially STM's. My due date is May 30 (originally June 2). I get 12 weeks maternity leave from work which should put me back at work around the end of August/beginning of September, give or take. My boss just told me that we have our annual (mandatory) department meeting the from September 15-22 in Europe. Aside from the fact that I probably won't want to leave my newborn for that long, is that totally going to F up breastfeeding? Assuming I don't have any problems BFing, am I going to have enough stashed supply to feed her if I'm gone for a week? I really want to EBF.

Also, I just went to the bathroom and I swear I have a gray pubic hair. Carry on.

@lizardbreath14 I have always thought the woman in your profile pic was stunning. It's so lovely to hear details about your grandma. She was beautiful! My grandma was very special to me, also.

ETA: Tag fail

My whole state is a popsicle and my teacher sent us a message saying that class was cancelled this morning cause it was -30 at his house and his car wouldn't start.

That looks absolutely miserable...you can come visit me to thaw out ;-P

Look on the bright side! At least you can see down there. I can't even see my feet!

I told my husband last weekend that he is going to have to start shaving my lady bits for me because my agility/visibility is quickly dwindling. He didn't believe me, then saw me struggling in the shower...I think he gained a little bit more sympathy for me in that moment.

bebemac · February 2014

I have been craving a mint chocolate chip shake all day and I need one NOW. I went out to look at the road conditions. I guess I won't be going anywhere today. Or tomorrow. Or the next day.

@letsgobowlingx If this LO is a girl (which is the plan), her middle name with by after my Oma.

Grandparents touch our lives in ways that others can't. Thank you for sharing and I hope you have your Rose soon!.

BruiserB · February 2014

I'm with @LilNunz1 that I think a birth story is worth an individual AW/SS post. We could do like December '13 (my old BMB, I may have continued to stalk it every now in there after recovering from the miscarriage...should that be a FFFC?) - they have a sticky announcement post where everyone could post a short blurb to announce baby's birth, and then those who wanted to write a complete birth story made their own post as they had time.

I just found out it is a long weekend here!! My student mentioned it and I didn't believe him. I thought it was next weekend. I looked it up and was like, you're right!! An awesome surprise.

I filled out the form but it won't let me submit the information. Is it because I'm on my phone?

You got something against Alberta?!?

BC is the 10th. Alberta is the 17th.

Yay for the long weekend and not only that but the power just went out at work which means I get to leave work 2hrs early!

Missib55 · February 2014

Don't know if its an Aw or Ss or what but, one of my best friends just told me she was KU! I'm so very excited for her, they had such a hard time getting pregnat with their first, and they've been trying for a little while now for this one. And I'm so happy we get to do this together!

JulieSmiles · February 2014

I'm a little sad because I still just look fat and not pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I am so incredibly thankful that I am pregnant and not dealing with things other women are going through right now. I just wish I looked a little pregnant.

ricecakes1216 · February 2014

It's finally snowing here. Winter seemed to have skipped us and it appeared a little late. I love snow.

I bought a pair of maternity jeans for $15 at Target! Last one in my size. I am so happy!

I, your friendly neighbor to the south, will send you all the snow. I can't even go get a mint chocolate chip milkshake, damn it!

Score on the jeans!

@lilnunz1 sent you a pm

Carriebear22 · February 2014

Tonight I threw together a yummy chicken and rice bake that I was really looking forward to, was going to let it cook while I went to the gym. Got home to take it out of the oven and realized I forgot to turn it on. I felt so bad that I couldn't put a nice dinner on the table for my husband....full out crying meltdown.

JulieSmiles · February 2014

People keep asking me what the theme is for our baby. Am I supposed to have a theme? What are some examples of themes people are doing? I thought the theme was baby.

cristykaye · February 2014

JulieSmiles I'm going to guess they are prolly talking about the nursery. Themes can get out there so I stuck wih no real theme and am just doing colors. But an example would be a boys room done in sports or a girls in princess or someting.

katekat8721 · February 2014

Rant: Can I just say... WTF universe? What is going on with our girls here?!? Losses, threatened losses, babies who we're finding need a little TLC, etc... I'm sad and mad that this shit keeps on happening to great women who don't deserve this at all.

We have about 6 inches and are execting 9 more over night. I am hoping they either call us in late tomorrow or we get off early

What is all this talk about Shamrock Shakes and Girl Scout cookies? I have never had either!

I secretly hate those little girls who have their tables set up in front of the grocery stores. "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?" "No, I don't, you little brats! I came here for Pringles and Cheez-Its so get out of my way!"

Oh my stars! Thanks for making me laugh!! I need some giggles so bad right now...

Lol. I got to touch one in nursing school. It was much cooler than I thought it would be. (Zero interest in OB nursing. I prefer sick hearts)

I was just thinking this as I showered and (attempted my best) shaving. It's getting harder and harder to do. All I can think of is that I hope I'm getting it all without hacking up my bits and pieces

coffee-saur · February 2014

My DH is reading 'Pride and Prejudice' right now and he picked it up all on his own!! I think I fell in love with him a little more... :x

Sorry if someone posted this already but I don't always follow links. Woman breasfeeds puppy. https://m.citynews.ca/2014/02/07/colorado-woman-admits-to-breastfeeding-a-puppy/

So, I obviously would never do this, but I had dreams about BFing my dog before I had DD. So creepy.

On average how many birth stories do you think we'll have to scroll through on a daily basis come June?! Just curious.

@letsgobowlingx - here is the link to the due dates of the regs. Add at least another 50 and then divide by 30 days in June. That will give us an approximate. I'm too lazy to count and do the math.

https://june2014moms.blogspot.com/p/due-dates-teams.html

I was about to say what a bad ass @lilnunz1 was for that list and color coordinating the teams and adding the ribbon for the angel babies...until I realized I wasn't listed.

Can I be added to the list when you get a sec? June 19, Team Pink

Yeah that list needs a little updating as some of the recent losses aren't on there yet either

It's a team effort with @flerlgirl and @curlylocks! We have only been adding and updating teams for those who either PM us or use the contact form on the blog. Don't want to overstep and not add anyone who doesn't want to be added.
I thought the losses we're pretty up to date? I didn't think anyone from the recent days had actually lost the babies yet so, out of respect, we aren't jumping the gun. Miracles happen.

1) I only add people who send in the contact form or a PM. There are like 600 people on June 14, which brings me to 2) Sometimes, it takes me more than 24 hours to add people. There are three of us adding but one has a FT job outside of her home and the other two are SAHMs with children demanding food and love. So if you see something really out of date, especially concerning a loss, PM one of us. But losses get first priority for updating and the rest of you can learn to be patient.

flerlgirl , @curlylocks , @LilNunz1 - Sorry I didn't mean my blog post to go down this path! I will add that I appreciate you maintaining this blog with your busy lives.

nunzchucks · February 2014

@crhein26 It's cool. We just recently had someone send 5 messages in 2 days (come on!) so I think we are a little sensitive

flerlgirl · February 2014

@crhein and @ugabamafans, you are hereby BANNED from the blog.

jk jk, I know you guys are cool, yo.
