Tmi for a moment: First poop post surgery was no friggen joke. 2 hours later I feel like I just gave birth again!

I must have missed something, what did you have surgery for?

SomersIsles · May 2014

@kirotea‌ I hope everything gets resolved soon! Sounds wicked frustrating!

jennybean80 · May 2014

@Laura8388‌ when we took DS1 to swimming lessons around 6 months there was a mom who rocked her bikini and I just thought 'good for her' and was quietly jealous! If you feel good in it, go for it!

@jazzyexpo‌ you inspired me on the Bakini thread with your 6 boxes of Magnum bars. I just happened to stroll by them at Walgreens today and they were on sale for $3/box... I couldn't resist the double caramel deliciousness!

SurpriseAt39 · May 2014

I'm not sure, since I don't get to see signatures very often, ...

But is @ntdane the most pregnant one of us? She is 52 weeks tomorrow.

Anyone else have a serious thumb sucker? Ginny never took a paci but the thumb is always in the mouth.

For now I'm just going to be glad that I don't have to be the pacifier. But at some point down the road I'll probably panic and assume she'll be the weird kid that sucks her thumb until she's 12.

Colton is all about his thumb. He hates pacifiers They piss him off but once he gets his thumb he is all kinds of happy. It's cute for now let's see how I fel when he is three and I can't get him to quit!

@Laura8388‌ I'm totally jealous of your swimming classes. I want to go sooo bad but ours requires 1 adult per child and I have no one to go with me

you'll have tell me all about it!

kaking78 · May 2014

I'm downstairs enjoying a little me time. I can hear MH snoring through the baby monitor. I thought something was really wrong with LO!

ladyglittersparkles · May 2014

I'm sitting up totally stressing out. I have jury duty Monday. I have to call in tomorrow after 1pm to find out if my number is called... If it is I must be there at 7:45 am on Monday. Normally I wouldn't be stressed, I would probably look forward to it, but Fallyn has not been taking a bottle of BM we've tried to give her. She was ok for a while taking one each night and now not at all... How am u supposed to leave her with MIL ifshe won't take one?

Pretty sure nursing mothers are excused. It's on the form you fill out beforehand.

I know they are where I live.
I was on the list to be called when I was pregnant with DS1.
3rd trimester is an out, as well as EBF.
And since I plan to EBF for a year,... I'm still off the list til next summer.

Just call and tell them you just had a baby. They will excuse you.

I was picked for jury duty like the week after birth. Forgot to call and called a week later. They didn't freak out amd excused me.

@bandteacher‌ I am so sorry!!
@Laura8388‌ I love it.

I think it was @CruiseGirl28‌ who asked for a picture, but my new swimsuit came in the mail! The top is pretty ill fitting so I'll probably go get a new one from target. I like my tops with underwire. But the bottoms are exactly what I was hoping for! Not bad for $12.19

That's really cute. And you can't beat the price.

I have a great Aunty who lives in nz and is like 90 something and incredibly sweet but might be losing it a little bit.
Got a package in the mail from her today; a bunch of pink bibs and a pink car seat toy.

Hmmm. Maybe she wasn't listening when she was told we had a boy. Still, so sweet.

That's funny. DH's aunt came to our shower which was clearly for a girl. Everything I got (including from her) was pink. We discussed her name and everything. A few weeks later, she texted DH asking if we knew the sex of the baby.

I signed us up for swimming lessons for rykie starting on Monday! They are 30 min classes twice a week. In excited! It's just to get him used to the water and do a bit of floating.

BUT what do I wear? Do I brave a bakini? Or would that be too skanky in a group of moms and babies? I don't own a one piece but could go looking for one this weekend...

Jealous! The Y near me wants them to be 6 months. I can't wait. I don't think wearing a bakini is skanky. My mom wears them lol.

I do have a 1 piece because it was recommended when I swam with dolphins. One girl wore a two piece and her bottoms fell off when they pushed her lol

I'm glad it worked out for you but I would not recommend calling after the fact. In my state they issue a bench warrant for you and the sheriff picks you up to appear before the judge. That would be embarrassing!

pepperedmoth · May 2014

@bearsbearsbears‌ I have always had very heavy menses. The IUD made them slightly heavier, but not so much that it made a real practical difference. If I am already having to change my tampon/pad combination a zillion times a day, a zillion plus one really isn't that annoying! It didn't go from a zillion to TWO zillion or anything like that. :-)

Sanibel21 · May 2014

@nanacook I am love with those goats!!

Bathing suit looks great @amholley1!

I always start responses and then get distracted by LO and when I come back later, I see I never finished them. Then there's another two pages and u feel bad not responding to a lot. Oy oy oy!

ProudMommy030614 · May 2014

My happy random! I think that my milk has recovered from surgery. I got my normal first pump of the day amount this morning! Of course I took some of my freezer milk out last night so now my fridge will hopefully be full after today!

Lol. I could be. The one time I was actually on a computer instead of mobile I tried to fix it and it obviously didn't work

I just hve to AW this!

babylimas · May 2014

I know this has been brought up tons before but anything I should do for the clogged year ducts? I'm wiping him with warm rags but both his eyes are always so crusty. How long does it take to go away? My first never had this.

awesome. Thanks y'all! I wasn't doing the massaging, but will do that now.

ladyglittersparkles · May 2014

Thanks everyone. I had missed the cutoff date (April something) to mail in an excuse bc I thought it wouldn't be a big deal... Fx my number is excused when I call after 1p today.

ProudMommy030614 · May 2014

I over did it yesterday and am in so much pain today that I am watching Netflix and hanging out with Colton! School is out next week for my older boys so our afternoons alone are numbered!

WoodShopGirl · May 2014

Just caught up on 257 posts. BAM!

Congrats on new houses, tattoos, bakinis, and new jobs!

Happy thoughts for allergies, shots, and work sucking!

New in my world (AW Alert):

I am with @bandteacher in that my sn no longer fits. We finalized the sale of our business this morning! It is bittersweet. We worked out asses off for 5 years to build the business so it is still a little bit our baby. But with the growth we ended up doing ok on the sale.

MH has already started his next venture. A one man operation for now.

And now I have to decide my next move. I think I am going to go back to the corporate life rather than small business, but I am not 100% sure. I have some time to figure it out.

MH actually mentioned me staying at home, but I just can't see myself feeling fulfilled that way. Plus I suck as a house keeper and MH does 90% of the cooking, so I just don't feel productive.

Decisions, decisions.

WoodShopGirl · May 2014

@jennibeanjld He has gone back to commercial satellite/systems integration. He is mainly doing DirecTV installs for large hotels and multi-unit dwellings (much different system than your standard residential service). He is one of something like 5 companies in the US that has a certain level of certification, so it means he has to travel quite a bit which sucks.

WoodShopGirl · May 2014

A has had blood-free poops for 24 hours! And the last one was a 5-wiper.

I am way more excited about the state of my babies poop than I ever thought I would be.

bumpuser9058414 · May 2014

Waves hi @bunnyfungo! I've never even opened this thread before. It's totes overwhelming. I came back to work a week ago and I've been slammed. I've only been poking around here and there. I can barely sneak away to pump.

I'm going to buy a Sit Me Up chair this weekend after seeing them all over the place!

tsmith312 · May 2014

I feel so out of the loop this week ! It was my first week back to work since the day before I had LO. I have to admit this week hasn't been too bad. I've been so swamped at work catching up its kind of put my mind at ease.... Except today, my MIL is watching her !! I've been a little paranoid, although she did text me her WHOLE schedule for the day !! ANYWAYS I feel like there was a good bit of bumpies that returned to work this week.

This was the same at my office. I've been back for 6 weeks and JUST now got caught up on the mess left by people half assing everything.

I'll cry if it takes me 6 weeks to catch up. I have a book of drawings I'm responsible for. I'm already halfway through it (and have re-done almost all of those so far).

The suckiest part is that my eyes are not used to staring at a computer screen for 8 hours a day. It was nice to not have to do that for the past 3 months.

THIS is why Ive gone home with a headache everyday this week ! I wasn't used to staring at my computer for 8+ hours a day, just a precious little babe

Ahutch428 · May 2014

I just looked at the totals on my baby connect app... I have spent 82 hours breastfeeding so far... And that is just the times I remembered to record it! Does anyone else look at this?

Can I vent? I'm gonna vent.

My life is wonderful! My husband and I still love each other, we are thrilled with our new addition, we have money in the bank, LOVE our house, and we don't have anything to complain about.

Except I feel like I can't share my happiness with my mom or my sister! My sister is having such a hard time living with her in laws, her kids are struggling, she is having weight & depression issues and her husband works nights so they hardly get to see each other. Had a 20 minute conversation about how her husband is an A-hole, how living with her FIL & his partner is hurting their children since there are too many parent figures, and how her baby won't sleep through the night.

My mom is the definition of a pessimist, with a dash of narcissism pitched in. I put off going into work this week to go help her pack up her house, help her load the truck, and then my husband & I went over last night & he did lots of heavy lifting & loading of the moving van. Today I am determined to get my house in a better shape since ignoring it this week. ESPECIALLY since I have to go back to work this coming week. She literally started to cry to me when I said I couldn't come over about how she had to load up a 3000 square foot house "ALL BY MYSELF"....I almost flipped my lid, because she had lots of help and every time I went over there she was on her laptop. Not packing. This is ALSO the woman who didn't help me pack a single box when I was 16 weeks pregnant, and working full time and needing to move.

I'm just frustrated that I can't share any of my happy news with them because they're too involved with the negatives in their life that they can't see any good is anything! Okay, that makes me sound kind of bitchy...but it's okay. They're family. I'll forgive & forget & move on in a week.

Thanks for reading, or scrolling. I just didn't think that was worth starting a whole new thread just so I could complain to the internet.

Calling @FarmBoysWife‌ how is work going today?

ladyglittersparkles · May 2014

No jury duty for me!
