I know @AllyTheKid is busy with baby Johnny, so thought I'd get this started for us.

What's your random?

    @ignosceihi Oh, I was such a mess PP. Yoga pants, leggings, the same shirt for days (unless I leaked really badly all over it). I just didn't have the motivation to wear clothes.

    @f47 Yep.  That's what I was like with my first.  The second may be worse since I've got a toddler to run after, too.

    Oh, and I just saw this - for all you Gilmore Girls fans out there - certain coffee shops around the country are going to become "Luke's" on October 5th.  Might be worth taking a look: https://townofstarshollow.org/lukes/

    @allythekid I am a big believer in getting dressed even when you are exhausted or upset because it does make you feel a little better!

    @nlane0723 - wow, you go super mama! btw how do you like those baby baths? I got the same one for this baby. Hoping to like it better than the one I had with DS.

    I have to shower and wash my hair everyday, or it looks nasty. And I also do a full face of makeup everyday, because it's what I'm used to. But I can only wear my two stretchy maxi skirts right now, so I basically wear the same thing everyday...black maxi skirt and shirt or striped maxi skirt and shirt. I wish I could at least wear my maternity jeans, but the seam hits right on my c-section line and it still hurts. :(

    Speaking of...I went out this weekend with my family to celebrate my birthday coming up and all I wanted was a new black maxi skirt since mine has seen better days. Couldn't find one anywhere!! Anyone have a suggestion for where I could find a cheap-ish plain black stretchy maxi skirt? The one I have is from Target, but they don't have any that I could find.

    I'm breastfeeding/pumping every 3 hours and eat a lot of carbs and a decent amount of sweets. I'm basically non-stop from 10 am - 1/2 am so I'm sure that helps too.

    With DD, I didn't nurse on demand and it took forever to lose the weight. I didn't care (I wasn't going to try with this pregnancy until I went back to work), but I will take it! 

    DH is only home Monday and Tuesday all day (he's gone 11 am - 12 am Wednesday - Sunday), so I had to figure things out quick!


    LLR is expensive, but I'll vouch for the maxi skirts. @bamacoop

    +1 for lularoe maxis, but plain black may be hard to find. I really like the one I have from carve designs too.

    @nlane0723 wow how do you function?! 

    I'm living in my men's XXL lounge shirt and pants. It is not flattering but soooo comfortable and it doesn't touch anything on my incision.  I had my picture taken in it though and good god I was huge!

    @nlane0723 - How are you liking your Angelcare bath supports? We opted for one of those instead of a big bulky tub and I'm kind of nervous about it.

    I am also curious about your bath support review, we opted for one of these to start based on advice from the nurse teaching our prenatal class:

    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019CZRLDC/ref=mp_s_a_1_8_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1475590834&sr=8-8&keywords=baby+sponge+bath

    But that's only going to work when he is tiny I think.

    In other news, it's my last week of work!

    @CopperBoom86  So I'm re-watching GG and the first time through, I thought Dean was ok in the beginning and got progressively douchier as the show went on but I've changed my mind. I don't even like him in the beginning. I don't see what Rory ever saw in him.

    @MRSCORKER - Yeeeeeessssss. He was like a pitiful little puppy dog in the beginning- catering to her every want and need. Yuck! And then, yes, he turned into a douche. 

    I will forever hate that he was Rory's "first."

    I feel like there should be a mental health thread for all the postpartum moms. Just to keep an eye on each other? Thoughts?
    Yes! I tried to make one on fb but it's hard to keep it going and fb had to put a limit on chat participants.  I know I'm struggling some days especially as night approaches and I know it's going to be exhausting

    I kind of hate that he was too but I also kind of appreciate that she finally screwed up and wasn't so "perfect" for once. Once she gets with Logan she effs up a lot more but the Dean incident was sort of the first time we see that she's human.

    thoughts on cameras? 

    I have an iphone 4 that takes fairly decent photos and then I have a kinda large canon from a few years back that is my regular go to camera. Will I want that in the hospital? Or will I be happy with my phone?
