I've seen plus size runners hack up the race t-shirt and pin it to their clothes/sew it onto a bag, or wear it over something else---like slit up the sides and wear it over a tank that fits.
It doesn't make it less obnoxious and fat shaming, but at least she could wear it!
I go back to work on Tuesday. I'm worried about the logistics of getting out the door on time. I have to be at work by 7:20. Emma usually wakes up right around then. I want to at least say good morning to her but I might not get to. :-/

@mndynitetragdy it's a good idea! Or just a random vent thread. Where anyone and everyone can vent. Like a giant bfest Monday thread. Because sometimes a vent just can't wait until Monday!
Ps. Just got off the phone with my sister. She's really happy because they are about to sign papers on an apartment with a great location and she will be free from her overbearing FIL's. AND one of her coworkers is a personal trainer and offered to help her out for free. I'm SO happy she's finally got some good news going for her!
@bunnyfungo I secretly hate four day weeks (maybe that should be my FFFC). It always feels like you have the same amount of work to do but less time to do it in.
@yankeepeach08 Julian farted in his bathtub this morning. He thought that was the funniest thing ever.
DH apparently pulled a muscle in his neck. I anticipate a weekend filled with him complaining about how much his neck hurts while doing every day tasks. Men are freaking babies.
So... I'm a pharmacy manager now lots of mixed feelings.
This has probably been the most stressful week of my life, and after working a full shift on my day off, DH tried to guilt trip me about wanting(needing) a nap. He finally took the baby, but right as I was about to fall asleep he brought him to me because he couldn't calm him down and wanted to know if I wanted to feed him or for him to give a bottle. So I nursed him side lying and we went to sleep. So I got a nap, and baby snuggles. I can't be mad about that, but I'm frustrated I have to beg DH to let me take a nap.

Brooklyn had the meltdown of all meltdowns tonight. Within a 5 minute span went from happy baby to screaming non stop for an hour. I even resorted to swaddling, which I haven't done in like 2 months. She passed out and I put her in her bed, but she hasn't eaten in two hours. I tried to offer her the boob all this time to soothe her but she wouldn't take it.
Can I just let her sleep? She needs to eat though, right?
I'm having a glass Of wine. Reflecting on the past 6.5 Years with my DH. Our 2 year wedding anniversary is on Sunday... Dang it wish he didn't have to work nights so we could celebrate. What should I do for a gift? I want something meaningful

Happy anniversary we do homemade gifts mostly so maybe something like that.
I wanted wavy curls I got the perm look. I'm not so sure about this, that is the bad thing about having the wife of your husbands coworker do your hair. She's always so nice..... I guess I'll get used to it. I have a perm now :-S

We're trying to do "traditional" gifts. So 1st year is paper. We were in Vegas, which was the real gift, so we got cards. 2nd year is cotton. We were on a cruise (again the real gift), so he got souvenir tshirts and I got a sundress. 3rd year is leather. I hate leather. We were down the Cape and found new luggage. It's not leather, but it has faux leather parts/seams. Good enough lol
@bunnyfungo yup, that settles it. MOAR BABIES FOR MEEEEE!!!
@WisconsinCheese12@Jt7dreamz same here, especially with the CDing making his bottom chunkier! I just put him in the bigger things and don't care if it looks silly. I think it actually is kinda cute to see his little toes peeping out of his long pants!
The doctor and the nurses think the increased pain is just because it's healing and nerves etc are being bothered. They couldn't find any new tunnels and it doesn't look infected.
The tunnel went from 4 to 3.7cm. If it's less than 2 then I may get stitched next Friday.
Packing the wound SUCKED!! It hurt sooooo bad I had to scream for her to stop 2 times so I could catch my breath and I legit cried as she did it. The pain is worse than my contractions before I asked for an epi... It's worse than any pain I've ever gone through.
All day after the appointment each step I would take or any movement I would make would be insanely painful. I feels like a knife in my incision. Even now (5:30am the next morning) I can barely move.
So now I think I have to go back to taking percocets for the pain ... But since I EBF I don't want to... But the pain is unreal.
I wake up to to a dining room table of ants? Wtf I hate bugs! These are little weird ants, there is no trail just a random here and there. I have no clue where they are coming from and what they are after. The only thing on my table is my breast pump.

So today's been really fun on my eardrums. My poor dog looks like she's going to have a stroke every time the baby does it!

@AriaAmante143 I'd let her sleep!
@futuremrsspriggs I buy MH nice scotch for pretty much every occasion. It is always appreciated!
@FarmBoysWife I'm pretty serious about this "I will buy you a drink" thing....you deserve it!
@caseanddave we use the gentlease equivalent. Or as we call it, the purple one haha
@bunnyfungo that picture is amazing!!
@wisconsincheese12 I totally agree with the clothes! Makes my OCD brain hurt...
@ariaamante143 my guess is she is exhausted from crying. I'd let her sleep. She'll wake if she's hungry. How did it pan out for you?
Fail.... Kinda.

Super depressed about this.
My child is a weirdo. I try to roll him on his side to nurse and this is how he wants to lay.
