    so sleepy... but the bed's not made (washed the sheets while i was at work today)

    I slept on just the mattress the other night with my clean blankets on top of me bc this exact thing happened to me and I was way too exhausted to fix the bed.

  • OMG I just broke down in a hideously ugly cry because I just discovered that my OB accepts Medicaid...and my FIL who has been paying our private insurance premiums (and any associated deductibles) is suddenly having a conniption about it. Being that I'm unemployed and DH's income isn't enough to support us, I qualify for Medicaid, so to find out that I can keep my OB and essentially still get awesome care without having to break my FIL's bank is SUCH a relief. I can't even begin to tell you how much of a weight this lifts off of my shoulders.

    Victory!
  • So glad other people's farts smell just as bad as mine. I started taking Prilosec two days ago and I want to leave the room when I fart. I was beginning to think it was something I was doing....at least I'm not as strange as I thought.

    Mine follow me when I leave. I am so gross.

  • I'm officially on spring break!!! Just to play catch up, my farts have been super smelly lately too. And all that talk earlier about y'all's Oreo shakes made me treat myself to an Oreo mcflurry.
  • Ok tried doing a siggy for the first time. How many months late am I? Too many...

  • I always wash our "toys" with Dawn. Is that bad?? It's ok for the dishes I eat off....
    Also I have a hard time wiping after peeing, especially in the tiny stalls at work!

    No more dawn. You may eat off minimal soap scum but you do not want it in you vagina. And again, if it is made out of silicone it will break it down little by little.

    It will dry the toy out causing little cracks that bacteria can hide in. You need to use a toy cleaner!

    You know know you are getting big when you have trouble wiping after you pee.
    Peeing is no problem. But pooping. Ya. Hard to reach.

    This makes me wonder... am I the only one who lifts up my butt and wipes front to back?  Getting poo anywhere near my urethra/vagina is just... ew.  Asking for infections that way. x.x

    Once one of my law school professors invited the class over for brunch. So I went. It was middle of winter. Wore jeans an Uggs. No socks. Toe nails were chipped long and like yellow talons. First thing I walked in and he asked me to take my shoes off. I about died. My feet stunk to high heaven from being in the uggs. And I spent the rest of the morning trying to curl my toes all the way under so my classmates didn't see these:

    OMG I was like 'NO WAY DID SHE JUST SHOW US THOSE!' Ahahaha

    Can't stop laughing. Those are horrifying!!! Great story!

  • FFFC: I never wipe front to back. Apparently I'm lucky that I never get UTI's. Winning.

    Also, I wipe from the side, if that makes sense. Like, around the belly.

    From the side here too.
  • Dear kid,

    I'm gonna need you to cease and effing desist on this operation kick through mom's side business you've got going on all day. That spot has had it with your little foot. Knock it off. No, seriously. STOP IT.
  • I haven't peed on my hand while giving a sample, but that's because they give us giant cups!

    I'm a side to side wipe too. I tried the whole front to back business with this belly and fucking pulled a muscle... No thanks.

  • I had vaginal delivery and it took about 3 weeks. I had a hard time healing and lots of stitches. Like others said different for everyone.

    Sex is so awkward now, I feel bad. I cried afterwards tonight, cuz the hormones are FUCKING INSANE this week. DH was trying to get me going and I was like look, I totally appreciate the effort, but it's not gonna happen. So then the sex was weird because he knew I wasn't getting much out of it. Blah. 15 weeks til semi-normal sex again.

    this. We both know I am pretending to enjoy it just so you will get off faster. Don't take your time in hopes that you can get me off too. It hurts, there is nothing you can do to change that. So just pretend along with me and get it over with. Sigh. Also, I stayed swollen for about 3 months postpartum last time. I don't have high hopes of returning to normal sex again till next fall.
    This was me too in the "traditional" positions...DH has already figured out that the only way to get me off at this point is orally (after lots of hand play), so he's quick to go right for it, then once I'm done he gets off quickly doggy style (the least awkward/least painful position for me with the gigantic balloon belly). It's the only thing that's kept our sex life alive this late. Last pregnancy, I was totally comfortable on top, but this time, I'm just not. Thank God he can read me like a book and has figured out a way to make sure we can still both enjoy it til the end.

  • Maybe this needs to go in the stupid ? thread but I am wondering for a vaginal delivery and for csections how long it takes to feel "better". Like how long it takes your vagina or tummy to stop hurting and how long until I can clean house and such like normal again?
    Like other's have said, totally different for each person and each delivery. 

    With my first I was pretty sore for almost a month because of all the trauma to my lady parts (lots of stitches) But with my second I was up and feeling great as soon as labor was over....no joking, I was out and about as soon as we were discharged from the hospital.  Both were vaginal deliveries.

    My hubs won't even consider going down on me with all this discharge and I don't blame him. Our sex life has def taken a back seat. I think we are averaging once a month. :/

  • SO claims he can't go down on me cuz my belly is in the way. I don't buy it. I'm gonna guess I have a pregnancy odor...:(
    Me on top seems to be his fave, he digs my boobies.

    Then I peed on a stick...image
  • I'm jealous you guys have a hard time wiping when you poop. I don't go often enough to know :((
    All of this. Next time I have a normal poo, I'll probably be wiping from all directions out of pure happiness.

  • A friend just said to me "soon were going to be saying remember when we were pregnant!" And I'm very unnecessarily irritated at the "we" part. I don't recall you getting sick, gaining weight, waking up every night with heartburn, or carrying this child at any point the past 35 weeks! Hmph.

  • Does anybody else NOT have a name picked out yet? There are 2 names we both really love, but I don't think either sounds great with our last name. Trying to decide if I'm overthinking it and we should just use one, or if we need to come up with a different name altogether. 
    ETA: Holy TL;DR response! Sorry!

    @fireflygirl12 Unless the first name rhymes with your last name (looking at you, Julia Gulia) or combines to form Voltron (looking at you, North West) you might be overthinking it! In my opinion, you have to absolutely love the first name, then you can make the rest fall into place. I wouldn't let a name I wasn't quite so crazy about take priority over one I truly loved just because of last name conflicts, sibling name conflicts, initialing conflicts, etc. Not that I wouldn't consider those things, but my priority would be truly loving the first name. 

    I like your name options you've mentioned for #2 in the past. I think the FNs and MNs go together well and I think they fit well with your DS1's name. Without knowing your last name, my guess is that you are overthinking the conflict because it's so close to go time and the pressure is on.
    Thanks @bluebird2318. Nobody seemed to think it was a big deal in the S12 poll I posted awhile back, so I guess I'm being paranoid. We've gotten good feedback on the names we like, so at least we won't get a bunch of side eyes. I rely on the Bump polls since we aren't telling anybody our choices IRL.

    @fireflygirl12 I just looked at the S12 poll and was going to say that the S --> Sh thing doesn't bother me because the "S" at the end of Miles is a "Z" sound... And then I saw that you mentioned the exact same thing in your final comment.  :P

    ETA: DD's FN and MN is actually an -E --> E thing but the pronunciation is such that it flows well enough not to matter.

  • After DS1 I couldn't orgasm for like 3 months because all my muscles were messed up or something. I couldn't even get myself off. It's like everything would build up and be ready to go, and then suddenly it was just over without the big kabang.  I was so scared I was never going to have another orgasm and I'm totally afraid it's going to happen again.
  • DH got a call from his mom tonight. His dog Hersey isn't doing well and this might be her last night with us. I feel so bad. They just lost their other dog a few months ago.  DH went to say good bye to her tonight and I have no idea what to say to him when he gets back. Ugh. Also, DD wanted to go to Mal Mals with Daddy to see Hersey and DH told her she could see her next time. I about cried because I know its a lie and because DD will ask about her when we go over there.
  • congrats to your hubbi @kendracoleslaw!!!!!

    Yeah, that's my thought but DH thinks it sounds awkward. Now I think the "oh" in Owen sounds strange with SchrOHder. I think I'm just getting cold feet. I mean, I don't really say my fn and ln together all that often anyways.
