I had the weirdest dream last night. We were all meeting up at @charley15's house but the only people I remember being there from this BMB were @flowerpower5838 (who was blonde) and @MrsLeanMeanClean and also someone who had flown in from Arizona. (We were in Boston.) Some of my friends IRL were there as well as some of my students? But it wasn't like a normal house. We were going to eat and then have these "Bump Olympics" where we had to compete in events like the long jump while pregnant. And @charley15 had made these cheesy pasta flower things but we weren't supposed to eat the white cheddar ones, only the yellow cheddar ones. So....yeah.
Hey you guys, thanks for all being so awesome and supportive. I know I've been a might bit complain-y lately, but I really appreciate the kid words and such. It's helpful to get it all out to people who really understand, instead of dumping grumpiness on my husband who can't truly empathize, kwim?

I really wish there was some way that your dream could come true, @ecwk (except that we could eat both flavored of cheese) and I could meet you all and hug anyone who is into hugs, and high five the rest of you! I think I'm feeling a tad sentimental today haha

I may need those milk cups. Iv been leaking already at random times. Awesome dream @ewck! @oceanchild You deserve to get to "complain" with all you have been through this last week or so. I don't think a single one of us minds at all.
Edited to add quotes around the word complain because I'm not even sure that's the correct term to use because I don't feel like you have been...you are just letting your bump besties know what's going on in your life.
@oceanchild- I've thought of getting those milk saver things since I felt like I wasted so much during letdown. I'll have to look into getting those.
For me it was totally worth it! I really love it! You only need one, bc you use it while nursing, but something to note - it's open at the top, so if you forget you're wearing it on the other side, and fill it up and then go to lay your baby down in the swing, you will just dump it all over her … whoops LOL
I'm glad you mentioned this! I was thinking about buying some for sleeping which obviously wouldn't work. Every single time I woke up last time I would have to change my shirt!
Omg Olive Garden was amazeballs! After ward we decided to go to Sams Club to blow my gift card- and we got a case of baby wipes for $15!!! 10 soft packs of 100 wipes in each- those should last awhile!

We got ten weeks behind on our pump photos so when I saw today's pic compared next to a pic from August I finally really felt pregnant. So many people keep telling me I don't have a bump or I'm not really showing which has made me wonder if I would ever "look pregnant". I was getting a little sad about it....but here is the proof! There is a baby in there!!!!!

You absolutely look (adorably) pregnant and did at 10 weeks!!
Thanks @cmerribury! I get so tired of people judging my bump...I even get the side looks like "Are you feeding your baby enough?" I have gained 25 pounds and feed this little bean ALL day long!

Took a nice hot shower tonight all by myself (DH likes to steal my shower time and right now when we see each other all day every day it makes me soooooo irritated), and I even painted my toes! Probably the last time till LO arrives, just too much of a workout to do by myself. Even shaved and exfoliated, and then used so much lotion on everything because I've found a whole lot of stretch marks on my hips since last week. Maybe he's gonna slow down enough to give me a fighting chance at this whole giving birth thing! Feeling cautiously optimistic, and oh my gosh I can't wait till Christmas (and my next appointment!)
It's 33 degree Celsius where I am right now (I think that reads 91 for you guys in the US) and I think this bumpy and I are about to melt into a giant pool of nothing. I'm lying in bed with two ice packs and a frozen towel over me. Omg.
@SarahFoley725 that's amazing! Need to give that a try today.
I'm taking the day to stay at home sick. This cold (or whatever it is) is kicking my butt. I can't sleep. I can't breathe. My throat is on fire. And I can't take anything! I need a decongestant, but I'm going to call the OB today for advice because there are conflicting things online. Sigh. Sorry for ranting. Dropping LO at daycare though, so I can get the rest I need.
@oceanchild I just read back in this thread to see the posts I'd missed, and sweet sassy molassy woman! Between your son Almost getting clipped by that car ignoring the flashing bus lights (GRR that one had me livid! I want to find that guy and punch him repeatedly in the junk.) And your recent blindside crash, I think it's fair to say that you and your family are officially grounded and banned from going anywhere near roads or cars, because they clearly have it in for you! Just Amazon prime everything for the next 3 months! Big sappy Internet hugs to you and your family.
Alright experts, I need a solution for my 17 month old who keeps getting his feet trapped in the crib slats. Bumpers are out because he tries to climb. He keeps waking up screaming because of it. Today dh went in there and he was stuck in a way he couldn't get unstuck. I really don't want to move to a bed yet.

Very, very close! Apple pie and cool whip because we didn't have lactose free ice cream and I'd die
