Guiseeeee I'm miserable. Kidney infection, possible stone, and a headache from hell. no drinking for me tonight. and my supply in my left boob is tanking. (
I feel your pain, so sorry going on hour 49 of kidney stone over here. It's awful. Hope you feel better soon.
So. How long did you wait before announcing to family and friends, and how did you tell them? Why did you wait the length of time that you did?
I'm sorry for your loss. We had a similar situation. Two miscarriages, so I was very hesitant to tell anyone. Told my best friend right away. Told my mom around 11 weeks, I think. Told my dad in a fathers day card (around the same time). Then told everyone else around 13 weeks (close fam and friends)...even then I was really nervous about it. Didn't post on FB until like 32 weeks or something around there. I'm not a big FB sharer, obv.
I am just going to share that I love my husband..........Like seriously LOVE him. I had a meltdown day the other day (first period since LO, so I may be hormonal) he loves me thru all of that craziness and more. He doesn't play into it,react to it or anything. He just grabs me by the arms hugs me and whispers in my ear, I LOVE YOU, calm down. At the time I was pissed because he wouldn't fight back with me (crazy I know LOL) but after reviewing the situation I realize what a good man he is.
Last night we went for a family walk, ended up being 3 freaking miles (I about died) when we got home we cuddled up to watch House M.D and I passed out of course 1 episode in (this was around 1130) I woke up at 6:30 in the morning thinking LO slept in. Nope found her and him in the living room, He pulled a "all nighter" so I could sleep. SWEET man!!!!!! He knew I needed it.
So there is my random share for the day. I knew I made a good choice in a man 13yrs ago
So sweet!!!! I love that he keeps his cool through the crazy hormones. That's a good guy there....
DH and I had a killer fight last week and he's been trying to make up for it since because he felt so guilty. We both apologized and made up but he's still making me feel like the luckiest girl out there. I love seeing him with LO - makes my heart melt. Yay for sweet DHs!
That's so sweet! My hubby did extra dad duty last night. Baby girl woke up in the mood to play at three, four, and five. I've been so sick the past couple days, so he just grabbed her and played with her while I slept. Fed her a bottle so I wouldn't have to get up. I didn't feel great when I got up, but I know I'd have felt 100x worse if I'd been awake for all of that!
Girl I woke up,rolled over and literally wanted to cry. If I would have had to get up during the 2x last night that LO did. I would still be in bed. I am dragging a$$ but I am trying so hard to move on with the day. I took a pain reliever and started the Sunday laundry and started the dishwasher. Its all I could muster but at least I tried.
micino LOL if he did it would probably be a HEFTY fee. He is not perfect by any means but sometimes he is just really extra sweet and it reminds me of how much he truly loves me. If anyone can stand there and take what I dished out the other night and not get riled up and just hug me and say "Its,Ok, I love you,Calm down" They get an award in my mind
Omg. It had been almost an hour since someone posted here. Guise. You are slackin'!!! I was bathin' LO!! And doing more research on where to land post-military. I still keep getting drawn to the DFW area. As much as I love my seahawks. I can't move to an area just for their sports team. Lol. And the cowboys suck. Haha. But the economy is great. The weather is great. COL is awesome. Several phenomenonal school districts. So many decisions.
Austin!!!!! MUCH better than DFW (but I'm biased....).

We don't actually watch football in our house but my husband is a HUGE Cowboys fan. I am sure it steams over from the early 90s when they WERE awesome. He won't root for anyone else for personal reasons. His brother was killed in Feb 1995 and so my DH and both of his brothers just support the Cowboys because their brother that passed away was a HUGE I mean HUGE fan, so its sort of like a legacy thing for them. It works out for me because the team colors go with my living room stuff The cheerleaders are AMAZING though!!!!!!!!!

hercules03 omg your DD is cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love her
rfred20 yeah its a sad story what happened to his brother and since they buried him on Valentines day, I just skip over that day because I can see in my DH's face every year the heartbreak.
@cambury108 V-Day, is overrated anyway. But I still enjoy the excuse to get flowers, candy, and go out to dinner.
So semi-related question to the anniversary of death and/or burial. My DH's family like gets together every single year on the anniversary of his grandmother's and grandfather's death. Like I don't mind being solemn on those days. I get it. They lost the matriarch and patriarch of the family. But they act like it's disrespectful that the world goes on and other stuff gets scheduled on those days. Does anyone else find that odd?
EDIT: Side note, his grandmother passed away 5+ yrs ago and his grandfather passed away about 2. So it's not like it's fresh or anything. It's just weird to me that All they think is acceptable to do on those days is have a family breakfast/lunch at the deceased's favorite restaurant and spend time with family. Like if they have anything else going on, they won't go, typically.
I'm still not quite into my pre pregnancy clothes and refuse to buy in between clothes. So I still wear maternity jeans. Is that a FFFC? Shouldn't confessions be on Sundays? But now that I've weaned, I'm officially dieting. And I mostly miss milk duds. I love milk duds. I want all the milk duds.
I definitely still wear maternity clothes, like all the time. I could fit into my regular jeans if I wanted to but elastic waistband is da bomb

I still wear my maternity shirts. I bought some new regular jeans though. I'm just too lazy to unpack my non mat clothes.
Also, @hercules03 I could be wrong, but I thoguht you BF your other kids for longer. (Totally not judging since I quit long before you did with my LO) But I was curious if you had a reason, or were just done?
@rfred20, she's mentioned a few times that her neurologist told her to wean so she could take meds for severe migraines.
Yes. This. And I thought it'd be like one pill a day. But no, like six. They are for high blood pressure and something with the front lobe? Not exactly sure. Cash is the medical person here, she might know. But there are a lot of drugs you can safely take while bf'ing but these you cannot. And I was having migraines daily. Been on meds for about ten days. No headaches. Such happiness. <:-P
Glad it's helping you. Migraines are debilitating.
@rfred20 I think that is a little over the top of a situation but I have no room to speak because on my side of the family I have lost no one. I don't know what that pain is like. I say just bear with it and do your best to be respectful.
@cambury108 That's what I was thinking. But I like you, haven't really lost anyone close to me. I'm just glad DH thinks it's weird too. It's just the dealing w/ his family part that bugs me. I'm like I really do not want to be a jerk, but life does go on and the deceased wouldn't want you to dwell on their death. THey would want you to move on and be happy.
I think every family is different your DHs family took it to that extreme and my DHs family act in a way like my DHs brother never existed. Very rare that they speak of him. His mom is the worst about it but I never say anything. If that is how she chooses to grieve then who am I to judge. My DH will speak to me about his brother but rarely. His dad passed away June 2012 and MIL was dating within 6 months and is now engaged. Makes me smh at her but again not my choice. I don't get how your married to someone for 42yrs then you just move on. My DH says it's her way of grieving but I don't get it.

That is weird. Death brings out the strange in people. That's for sure.
My parents joke with each other about this. My dad says that at my mom's funeral he's going to ask all eligible women to raise their hands. My mom says she's stopping by the pet shop for a dog on the way home from his.
I once knew someone who wanted "Another One Bites the Dust" played at their funeral.
And my DH has told me when he gets old and starts soiling himself to just drive him out in the middle of nowhere and let him just go be a hermit and die in a cave somewhere. I told him no.
Simon giggled for the first time today, and miraculously we got it on video. Totally fell even more in love with him.
And then he screamed for like 20 min while I tried to put him down for a nap, aaaand suddenly the magic is gone. Why are babies so bipolar?
I thought I was the only one who called my kids bipolar. Bipolar babies!!! All cute and smiley and then the bottom lip starts to quiver and you are like omg what did I do now?!? This kid needs psychiatric help.
Alex's new trick is to fuss/cry while smiling at me. It's awesome ... not. But makes for a good laugh.
I love black jelly beans. My birth stories are short and boring, except Mirabella's. I caught Jeter giggling on video today too. The hockey fan in me wants the stars to make playoffs, but the wife in me might go BSC if they do. I'm going Pinterest crazy with Bella's 2nd birthday plans. Here are my nails today, and Mirabella's nails last week.

@Nrg2020 I love the free for all convo as well.
