    I was finally able to buy out the rest of our registries (I was waiting on Amazon, which you have to be within a month of your EDD to get the 15% off).  I'm so excited to have everything purchased!!  
  • This hormone crash sucks. I'm angry at me body for not keeping the baby in there. I'm sad that he's not home with me. I feel this overwhelming guilt like there's something I could've done. I hate that I'm not home with my family. I hate that we have to be separated right now. And I hate that I feel this way because things could be so much worse. And I keep reminding myself be thankful that things aren't worse then they are.
  • @CAMAg - woohoo!!! Congrats girlie!

    @otter1103 - dude I'd just ask to be taken off. But I'm in CA where the docs are nice and let you go off a month before your due date if you want.

    oh, honey, I'm sorry you are feeling this way. It's part of the hormone thing, so no need to hate yourself. Don't be angry you couldn't keep him in, you and the medical team did what you could. It must be so hard to be separated from everyone. Hugs.

    Double hugs!!!

    I am waiting for this too. Joining Amazon Mom in a couple days then on May 16th I can start making those discounted purchases hopefully! Did it work out pretty easily? Tagging @Pepper6 because sometimes my quotes don't tag.

    @Mztwilson - Our hearts go out to you. I know you are swirling with emotions but LO is being cared for and hopefully you can find it in your heart care to for yourself as well while you're healing now. It wasn't what you wanted, but your body still went through bootcamp and you're all alive and well to tell us about it. Please hug yourself from us. You really do deserve it even if you don't feel like that right now. So many thoughts and prayers for you that this period goes by so quickly! xoxo

    Yeah it was pretty easy. When you click the banner thing to redeem the discount, it brings up the list of your eligible items (sold by Amazon only), you add them to your cart from that page.
  • Queesstioooon: I want to buy shorts for this summer since I'll be home on leave and won't need to dress for work. I know last years shorts will not fit. I see some low panel shorts on old navy maternity, would that be ok? I don't want full panel because of the extra layer/sweat, but I know it will take some time for my belly to not look 6 months preggo (so i've been told).

    What do you all think? Low panel will be comfortable? Don't get maternity? Regular drawstring? I just want to be comfortable but still somewhat put together looking when I go out in them.

  • @mtzwilson big hugs girlie. Be kind to yourself. You are the best mama your little one has. You did a great job keeping him in as long as you could just as you're doing a great job taking care of him now.

    I would go for a few pairs of the low panel. I got one pair of low panel denim shorts and a few low panel capris that I fully intend to wear all summer. I don't want to have to stress about fitting into my old ones right away.

  • @BMaidPlanner‌ I second the fold over jersey skirt. I just ordered two and they are amazing. I will be living in them this summer. Great find @mullenem!
  • Pepper6Pepper6 member

    Does anyone know if you have to join Amazon Mom before you get your email about the completion coupon? Or can you wait and do it afterward?

    @mtzwilson, hang in there.  You did the best you could.  We're here if you need to talk!! Hugs!

     

     

    The normal registry completion discount is 10%, but if you are an Amazon Mom member (which is free if you already have amazon prime), then you get 15%.
  • https://radiotvtalk.blog.ajc.com/2014/05/11/which-broadcast-shows-are-coming-back-and-which-are-cancelled/

    I'm bummed.  Quite a few of the shows that we watched were cancelled:(
    There's luckily only a few shows that I'm super sad to see go. They sure cancelled a lot of brand new ones pretty fast.

    I'm glad Reign on the CW and Once Upon a Time are coming back. I hope Castle doesn't suck next season. I can't believe they've renewed Bones and The Mentalist. Both shows have really jumped the shark.
  • @Mztwilson - Hugs! I hope you get to bring baby home soon. Don't beat yourself up second-guessing everything. You are an awesome mom and strong for splitting your time between hospital and home!
  • As much as I love Bones, I think it's time for it to go too. I like Once Upon a Time too and I'm glad it's picking up again. For awhile all it did was piss me off (F you Peter Pan). @LilNunz1‌ is reign good? I watched the first episode but didn't really give it another chance after that.
  • Mztwilson - sending you big hugs. You're going through a lot right now and it's completely reasonable to have all kinds of feels! Wish we could make it better!

    i just crossed almost everything off my to-do list! I made 15 padsicles, so now my freezer looks odd with a bunch of pads in ziplocs. 
     

    Did you just do pads with water and freeze them?  I'm still not sure if I'm going to make padsicles.  I bought some Tuck's that I plan to put in the fridge.
    Nope. 

    I put a thin layer of Aloe Vera- https://www.amazon.com/Lily-Desert-Aloe-Vera-Gelly/dp/B003HUJK24/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1399919610&sr=8-1&keywords=gelly+aloe+vera

    Then squeezed some witch hazel over the top, then a couple of drops of lavender essential oil (optional). Put into a gallon-sized ziploc and freeze.
     
    I did this last time and was so glad I did because I had a 3rd degree tear and hemorrhoids (yay tmi!) and the padsicles were like heaven. Cold tucks were nice, but these gave a good hour or two of relief. The Tucks warmed up in like 10 minutes.  
  • @ohyealovely‌ It's my guilty pleasure show. I like it enough, but I love that kind of show - The Tudors, The Borgias, etc. It's not Emmy worthy ;)

    I loved the Tudors! I hope they put Reign on Netflix, I want to give it another try. My guilty pleasure is Vampire Diaries. I can't stop watching even though I think they're really reaching for story lines these days.

    You should totally watch The Borgias. It is on Netflix. Very Tudor-y!

    I had my second chiropractic appointment today and I started going due to lower back pain. He has a special table that adjusts for pregnant bellies which is nice but I really don't like the cracking that happens. I'm only going to keep going because I keep reading it is good to go during pregnancy. I know there are others on the board going, do you get used to it?

    @CharSamm I don't really love the cracking either, but I keep going because I've noticed a huge difference in how much it's helped my back, hip, and pelvic pain.  To me, it's totally worth dealing with a few seconds of cracking to get that relief!
