Pumping, bumping and eating pepperoni in the upstairs bathroom at work. No one uses this bathroom since all the sales people are men so I figured I could go ahead and snack. Thanks for all the well wishes!

I just pictured all of that.

Oatmeal is gross..
Aubrey wears boy clothes sometimes because two big brothers!

Sorry to all the mamas with sick babes. .
I'm a drive by poster- at work

MuffinMom14 · January 2015

All body-shaming comments aside, I look like ass today. I pick out outfits for the week on the weekend (for both me and APurp, because I'm crazy), and last night I checked what I was wearing today. I was suspicious of the tights, but ok. Then this morning, I was suspicious yet again, but checked AGAIN.

I got to work and they are most definitely brown. I'm wearing a pink dress with a black sweater and black boots. I LOOK DUMB.

I also have a $200 gift card to LOFT that I got for my birthday LAST year, and I'm saving it. I refuse to buy clothes.

STMs tell me that I will have stomach muscles again. I'm fine with my weight, because I know how to lose weight. But my belly is still sticking out, but empty, and it's weird. I have ZERO stomach muscles. That's just from stretching out, not the C Section, and it'll get better. Right????!

Caught up for probably the only time today ... Have to get my work shit together as I have my evaluation starting next week which means I need lesson plans plus a pre-observation form to my boss by tonight. H is watching DS all day today -- first time he's had him for more than 2 hrs. I'm a little stressed.
Good luck, and I hope DH does a good job with LO. Call to check in often!

this! I hope him coming to terms with his issues have helped with his ability to take care of his baby. Let us know how it goes!

stomach muscles are nonexistent. There are exercises you can do to bring the separated muscles back together. Do I know what they are? NOPE! I'm lazy. I could maybe ask my BIL for you.

Ask him!

I've been doing ab work, and I figured running in and of itself tightens the core. I can be patient...I just need to know it's not a lost cause. It can't be, I've seen women with babies who have muscles.

Right now, Allison is laying on the couch in my office "reading" Allegiant out loud. The plot sounds very similar to Sofia the FIrst: The Curse of Princess Ivy.

It is temporary. My dads coworker gained 70lb with a twin pregnancy and her abs completely separated. By the time the twins were two, she looked great again. I didn't see her in those years so it may have happened sooner.

Hooray!

I want to try to get as much weight off and as toned back up as possible before APurp's 1st birthday...which is most likely when I flush my birth control pills...I think a year is reasonable, and I'm not a crazy person. If I come close, that's fine.

Re: oatmeal. Must be cooked with milk not water. All the add-ins. Right now Iike milk, butter, stevia, cinnamon. There's a "no sugar added" jam at Trader Joes that is delish in oatmeal too. Need to add that to my big city shopping list.

@MRSclarke08‌ Hope ANB gets better soon!

Re: girly clothes

I don't think she looks dumb in them but I usually refuse to dress her in clothes that say dumb shit. If you buy her something that says like "I'm a pretty princess" it goes in the give away bag. A few things have slipped under my radar. They usually say "I love mommy."

WHY does everything say "I love mommy?" She hasn't formed an opinion about mommy yet. She doesn't know what love is. Stop putting words in her mouth.

Some of the sayings I like. I bought a onesie that says "Dad likes me better than football...sometimes" and one that says "If you wake me, Mom will cut you." But like, Mommy's Cupcake and shit, no.

LO has his foreskin "fix" today and I am nearly in tears as he sits here smiling and cooing happily with no idea what's coming. I should have prevented this. And he woke 6+ times last night and I refused to get out of bed this morning when DS1 came in so he went downstairs and poured himself some cereal (had no idea he could even do that) and watched a show on the iPad while I slept. MOTY over here...

(don't be so hard on yourself mom

bumpuser10309732 · January 2015

I feel bad that I have to keep reminding myself how much I love my dog. I love her still but I just don't have the time for her that I used to. Then she does annoying shit like bark during a nap or lick the baby IN THE MOUTH. I'm the worst dog mom lately. She just wants love and I just tell her to move out of my way!

Saragoeswest · January 2015

I think it's BS that girls get away with wearing masculine clothes but boys (and their moms) get flamed if they are dressed the least bit feminine. Why are people so overprotective of masculinity?

MrsTinMKE · January 2015

@TicketTuesday - Big hugs! FX everything goes ok for you and your LO!

Finally done with my calls for today! I am going to pump/eat and nap all afternoon!

On a side note, I got a new iphone 6 a week ago and I still haven't set it up because I have issues with itunes.. I am not good with technology - it hates me

bumpuser10309732 · January 2015

@MRSclarke08 I hope ANB feels better! A sick baby is the most helpless feeling. I hate it!

I wish there was just a "baby" section instead of "baby," "girl," and "boy." I had to comb through the boy section AND the baby section for anything gender neutral, then I'd swing by the girl section. Just put it all together and let us decide what to put on our kids, thanksbye.

I got it on Zulily so I'll probably actually receive it once she's leaving for college or some shit.

Yeah, I'm not going to buy her shit that says she loves me, but we got a ton of shit that says it. It's fine, she wears them, but I find them to be weird. The daddy stuff, though. I'm a sucker.

the girls things NEVER say anything about mommy! They all say daddy is the shit. I'd also like girly things NOT in pink. MIL said "I'm trying to buy things other than pink", but all she does is buy red! Might as well be pink

I think the stuff we have that talks about mommy are boy/neutral clothes that were handed down.

lrobi13 · January 2015

oy, page 5. SO love tits and hugs to all that need them. I am so late to the party it is hard to respond.

1. How can purp not like purple? weird.

2. I must have skipped the shampooing portion of last night's shower because my hair is all kinds of oily today.

3. We are one more runny diaper away from being sent home from school today (and if that happens then tomorrow too). While it would suck to already start burning through my pto the idea of going home and cuddling on my baby isn't so bad.

4. I think DH and I may have found a house that we might want to buy. I am hoping he wants to go see the inside soon. It would need a good amount of work but I can see the potential.

5.things have been weird at work and I feel like this

A co-worker of mine volunteers at a battered women's and children's shelter so I donated a bunch of baby clothes, bottles, formula and some baby gear yesterday. She emailed me this morning that the women in the shelter were crying with joy over all the stuff I donated because it was SO needed. I can't even explain how happy it made me to help these women out. I couldn't imagine being in their position, living in a shelter with my kids.

You're awesome. ~:>

I'm leaving to pick up my mom at the airport in a few minutes. My SIL is due with a baby girl in a few days and my mom is coming for the birth and to help her at home for a couple of weeks. We get her until the birth though so I'm excited.

I may be flamed for this but I don't understand women who don't want a sister or sister-in-law getting pregnant at the same time as them because they will "steal the spotlight". I am so happy that DD gets a cousin who is only 3 months apart from her who she can play with and who will be in the same grade in school (even if they don't go to the same school). I loved having cousins close in age to me and I'm excited that DD gets one too.

Me too. Layla has a cousin only 6 months older than her and it is so friggen cute watching them play together. My ice heart melts every time.

I can't be silent that long guise- I'll get bored!
