Re: FFFC

    I feel weird telling people that I'm in the hospital- as soon as I was admitted yesterday, my mom called EVERYONE. I started making "stock" messages to send out to family and friends who text because I don't know what to say. I also have no clue how to answer the question of "how do you feel?" when I'm not displaying the symptoms they expect.

    I don't have one (yet) either.  I think I must be out of the loop.  There are so many user names that I just don't recognize. More the merrier though.

    This could be mine every week!

    My FFFC: dh and I both work for the school district and choose to get a little a little less in our pay checks throughout the year and get 5 "summer" pay checks at the end of the year that we set aside and give ourselves on what would be our regular pay days. The confession part: I took some of the money (only like $20) Monday (not a payday) so I could grab dinner and then used it also to get gas and a snack to take to school with me yesterday. I know not a true confession but if you knew me IRL I'm super budget minded so that's a big thing for me...

    I asked my boss to work from home today. I was really tired all week and yesterday felt kinda crappy. I just wanted to take it easy even though tomorrow is the weekend and I guess I could have come in this morning and suffer one more day. But confession time- I needed a break from my BRA. Between the giant triple d's and my bump pushing against it, I am in major pain at the wires.
    YESSS! I feel like I finally got through the 'they just won't stop growing' phase and found bras that fit my apparently now 36J (seriously what the f8ck?!?!?!), only to have baby girl think it's fun, in all of my long torso, to hang out in my rib cage. So now, the bras that fit when I'm standing hurt like hell when I sit or do anything that doesn't have my torso fully extended. I drove 3 hours home from my parents' yesterday, then spent 1.5 hours immediately after going to the other side of town to pick up my husband getting back from a business trip. We were going to get food to wait out the rest of traffic, but in spite of being so hungry my stomach was feeling crushed from baby and bra simultaneously and I just wanted to go home so I could take it off (which would have been another 1.5 hours, so not a good option). So I had a meltdown, yelling about hating the entire city, wanting to just go back to my parents', and then I started to sob. That can be my confession part of this; I just couldn't hold it together. My poor poor husband. 

    All of that to say, I empathize immensely. I hope it gets better for you. I'm going to try to find yet another bra, this time wireless. Maybe that would work?

    I work for a national retail chain and was able to transfer my job when we moved from FL to KY three weeks ago. I really like the new store and all my co-workers, but after 2 weeks of working there they are already making me feel bad about taking maternity leave in a couple months. It's making me really uncomfortable because they all keep asking how long of a leave I am taking (standard 12 weeks) and if I am coming back (no, but I am telling them yes). And I appreciate that they all like me and the supervisors told me I was a "breath of fresh air" for them because of my reliability and work ethic, but I have to do what is best for me and my family. I have a second job where I work from home so I can be home with baby and still have an income, albeit a slightly lesser income. I commute an hour each way to work, which doesn't bother me, but I can't imagine being that far away in case something were to happen with the baby in childcare and the gas bills are a savings in themselves. We also live in a really rural area and there is a shortage of childcare options for a 3 month old. I wish I could be honest with them and tell them I am not coming back, I feel bad lying to them.

    End rant.

    @MamaOwl15 Thanks! That's where I've been going. I scope out Breakout Bras since they have such good commentary on the fit, since apparently the way I'm shaped, that is a big problem in the sizes that try to give more coverage, and then see if I can get them on Amazon or just buy them there. I know I need to do it, but I've already spent soooo much time and money on bras, I think until yesterday I was trying to convince myself that I could hold out until I fitted myself properly again after baby and my milk comes in. 

    Do you have a brand of nursing bras you really like? The only ones that have been sort of working for me in the bigger size category are Panache and Parfait as they have solid demi cup options, so I would love ideas.

    I side eye parents that insist on having all of their kid's names start with the same letter. If it just happens that way, then sure! But to actually plan it that way... and to not choose a name that you actually like because it doesn't have the same letter? Ridiculous in my opinion. I think it makes the names less meaningful in that sibling number two was named something to match sibling number one rather than their own individual self. 

    YES! My MIL did this to all four of her kids, and she expects us to do the same. Uhhhhh, heck no! Not happening.

    My husband was in the ER yesterday for four hours. I kept waiting to find out what they were going to do and didn't want to leave him to go get snacks. By the time we left this pregnant gal was HUNGRY. We decided on the nearest McDonald's for dinner. While I ran in the pharmacy to get his prescriptions turned in, he ate my fries and drank my high c even though he said he didn't want fries and had water. I cried. Never have I ever cried over food.

    Is your husband doing ok?
    I've cried over random things lately including food, so I feel your pain.

    @babymazzei I can understand it for 2 kids, tops. But your comment made the think of the Duggars and all their J names. Too much!

    I'm really sick of people saying "you'll forget all about this when the baby is here." Naw really?! How does that help my twitching legs now. Just give me a "that sucks" and move on with yourself! I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm venting my annoyance. My husband is so freaking annoying about me complaining about people...."oh they're just concerned." Really? Twitching legs are cause for concern? No, they're just being annoying. Of course I am irrationally irritable these days.

    @kaweegar Don't feel guilty about not telling them. They'll get over it and find a replacement once they know you're not returning. Do what's best for your family :)

    My confession is-I know I'm not having a shower or anything, I told people we didn't plan on having one as this is baby 5 collectively and I didn't find it appropriate. As dumb as it is I find myself kinda aching for one. I'm not going to plan one or anything of that sort but it makes me sad. So instead we're going to have a start of fall get together potluck day where people can come and hang out starting at like noon and just enjoy the company of friends and family that decide to come by. I think I'm more missing the enjoyment of everyone together than anything. And I don't think I want to do any type of sip and see after he comes with it being so close to flu season.
