    I decided to groom my chocha in honor of the transvaginal ultrasound I'm having today (yay!). Well, my trimmer died half way through because it hadn't been charged in a while so I had to finish with my razor. I couldn't find my hand mirror to check my work and I"m 99% sure it looks a hot mess down there. I almost want to cancel my appointment (but I won't). I
    oh lawd.


    I'm actually thinking I'm going to get a Brazilian wax next week.  All my hair is growing at a breakneck pace, including lady parts.  I just want it gone.  
    I was thinking about this the other day. I want to be completely hairless when I deliver this time. I think it would make recovery slightly less unpleasant. I've never had one before though so I'm scurred.

    Shit I have to lead a parents' meeting about cookie sales tonight and I completely forgot to bring my materials to work with me. I haven't even read the fucking handbook yet. I have to go straight to the meeting from work so I'm going to have to wing it. I already hate speaking in front of people, but it's 1000000000000000 times worse when I"m unprepared.

    @peanutbutterfox I also want to be totally waxed at delivery.  

    I've been purposely trying to time my waxes for this reason ::blushing::

    Before my induction I attempted to shave and had to have SO finish the job. He actually did better than I do not pregnant.
    He had the advantage of a better angle and full view of the work area though.

    Get a fog free shaving mirror for your shower.  It's usually sold as a man's grooming product (it's to shave your beard in the shower), but I would use ours to shave myself after I could no longer see around my belly.  You just have to position it down by your crotch, obviously.

    My FFFC is that I'm having a harder time with ExH & his wife having a baby than I thought I would. The whole pregnancy it didn't bother me, now that the baby is here, there's part of me that has an indescribable sadness (??). It's not that I want to be with ExH (not at all) & I'm happy he's happy & seemingly doing good...I can't exactly put my finger on why it's bothering me. Of course I haven't let on at all to DD. Above all we've made sure to have a good relationship for her sake.

    We have been living in our house for a little over a year. We have one of those fridges with a water and ice dispencer on the door. We *just* discovered there was no filter in the fridge.

    I've had a crush on Nick Jonas since he was on Camp Rock 2. He was inappropriately young.

    You are all killing me. The last thing on my mind before/during delivery was grooming. Maybe I should be embarrassed?
    I swear I'm not being vain. Just, hair plus stitches...I've done that twice now I'd like to not do it again if possible.

    I am going to try to sell my engagment ring today (I work near the diamond district) and I am having mixed feeling about it.

    I can for sure use the extra cash, but several people told me to hang on to the ring and give it to DD when she gets older.  I am not sure why she would want it though?

    This. For me, its not so much able the look as it is about cleanliness during recovery.

    I'm in the exact same situation @Helenahhandbasket‌. Everyone says to keep it for DD, but why would she want a ring from a marriage she'll have no memory of? I still haven't sold it though yet. I second guess myself every time I go to do it lol. Good luck! I hope you get a good amount for yours :)

    Thanks, right, I guess that's how I feel.  DD's not yet 3, so she will have no memory of us together.  It's not like I would ever wear it, even repurposed as a necklace.

    I will update later if I decide to sell.  It's not a huge stone or anything, but it's a really unusual custom setting with sapphires so maybe that will help me.

    All this talk about childbirth makes me want to hide in a closet.

    And yet I still want another kid.

    I let my son go start my Jeep this morning before school because I was lazy and coffee wasn't working yet. He hit the lock button on the door. It's outside running and locked. On a full tank of gas. 309 miles to empty. Now I have to wait to get a hold of my husband at work to unlock it since he also has our bank card. I feel stupid. My Jeep will be warm, and my carbon foot print large. I also called the wrong insurance company to see if we had roadside coverage. We don't.

    Could be you grieving the loss of a vision of a family you once had in your mind? Either way, nothing wrong with feeling something IMO.

    Exactly this. I think when you marry someone you have the vision of what your life will be like. Even if you don't want to be with that person, it's hard to watch them move on and have a different life. 

    I think this is likely some of it. We both come from families/friends where really no one is divorced, so this is completely new to navigate. Plus, she's the only kid in her preschool class that has divorced parents, and now ExH has a "normal" household. I think maybe I'm feeling insecure in my decisions at the moment because of judgement about "broken home" etc.

    Yeah. I shaved because I thought they would do it for you if they needed to. I ended up having a c/s so I'm glad I shaved at home with a 4 blade razor and shaving cream and not some flimsy one that would have given me in grown hairs under the steri strips ::shudders::

    @atomiccounty I teach Health but my degree is also in F&CS and they are part of our department. I know what you mean about the outdated stereotype, but they do some kick ass things in those classes and teach really important life skills.

    This is DH's confession, not mine:

    Because DS keeps pulling on the tabs of his diaper, I put duct tape over them to keep the diaper on.

    I did this too but with box tape after I caught DS smearing poop on his face and playpen. Yup.

    I don't recall hair in my stitches.....

    I also don't have hair near my c-section scar. I'm confused.

    My scar is right where the hair starts to grown. I'm fairly hairy though.

    I'm here to stir the pot on pubic hair. Muhahaha. I don't actually care, but I read this article recently and it's relevant to the convo:

    "It is a sadly misconceived war. Long ago, surgeons figured out that shaving a body part prior to surgery actually increased rather than decreased surgical site infections. No matter what expensive and complex weapons are used — razor blades, electric shavers, tweezers, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis — hair, like crab grass, always grows back and eventually wins. In the meantime, the skin suffers the effects of the scorched battlefield.

    Pubic hair removal naturally irritates and inflames the hair follicles left behind, leaving microscopic open wounds. Rather than suffering a comparison to a bristle brush, frequent hair removal is necessary to stay smooth, causing regular irritation of the shaved or waxed area. When that irritation is combined with the warm moist environment of the genitals, it becomes a happy culture media for some of the nastiest of bacterial pathogens, namely group A streptococcus, staphylococcus aureus and its recently mutated cousin methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA). There is an increase in staph boils and abscesses, necessitating incisions to drain the infection, resulting in scarring that can be significant. It is not at all unusual to find pustules and other hair follicle inflammation papules on shaved genitals."

    My confession has been lost in a sea of pubic hair. And I'm ok with this. For the record, I was alllll bush down there. C section though so they shaved me to an extent. I kept reminding myself I was sure they had seen worse...unless of course I was the worst...
