    I want to take my son to that movie but he's never been to the movies because he can't sit still very long and I'm worried he will insist on going to the bathroom every 10 minutes and I will miss the movie I over paid for. Theaters are so expensive now!

    Today is the fourth day I haven't washed my hair

    Same - my hair has been great! Not only is it not getting greasy but it's easy to style between washes. I think related though - my facial skin has been SO dry and flakey. It's been humid here but I'm having to oil my face, and the last two times I washed it with a very gentle cleanser it was red all day (like chemical burn). Anyone else??

    Wearing these shorts for the 4th time this week. No shame. They are super stretchy denim and a size up from my normal so they actually fit as long as I don't dry them :)

    @kaitieb14 that would be the most amazing reveal ever! The shock factor would be excellent!

    @DuchessOfCambridge Pumping at work is SUCH a hassle for me. Our mothers room isn't far but it's tiny with no windows and one tiny dim light. Plus people are gross and make the room dirty. I especially hate it because I work on piece rate so the longer I pump the less I make, and I lose out on OT (which we always work).  :/

    I wonder if it's the difference between having a boy and a girl.  I don't remember my hair being like this when I was pregnant with DS.  This is new for me.

    DS1 is 7.  DD is 1.  DS2 is coming in late April.

    @DuchessOfCambridge I used the pumping sessions as a break from work. I'm a programmer so it was nice to get away from staring at code all day long. Also,

    @kwaldy @baby3forme @mariposa_767s thanks for the different perspectives! I do really want to pump to keep supply up and also because I want DH to be able to feed baby sometimes. I hope to have a good stockpile going, but that requires me to not be lazy about it, so I'm hoping I won't be.

    @mariposa_767s @cubsfan7 that makes me feel better and an alarm is a great idea.

    Gender reveal fireworks?  That's what we did but only set one off at a time! My fiance got buy 1 get 1 free and decided to set them both off at the same time but the few second difference in lighting them messed it up so bad!

    I had the problem at work that my manager would conveniently 'forget' to come relieve me from the register so I could pump. It was so painful and when I did go pump it was in the stockroom where any employee had access to. I would hide in a corner so if I heard anyone walk up I could be like hey, don't come back here.

    This makes me so sad and now I feel ridiculous for complaining about having to go to another floor. At least there is a mother's room and at least it is private. I am so sorry you had to do this.

    This was eye opening when reading about other women pumping at work. I have my own horror stories but some of these made me so angry. Companies make it stupid hard on women and it's already hard enough.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/parenting/wp/2017/05/02/women-share-their-stories-of-pumping-at-work-its-not-pretty/?utm_term=.68ac1ce66553

    @DuchessOfCambridge Do you have a laptop at work? That helped. At my last job I just caught up on social media or applied for new jobs. I'd put times on my calendar too so no one could book anything then. I tried to be so consistent with it.

    Hey at least it was better than the bathroom! And I would use the boxes of stuff to make a chair and a table to set my pump on, haha.

    @ElizabethSchuyler I do not have a laptop, they are not very flex/WFH friendly here so almost everyone has a desktop. It would be really wonderful if I could have a curtain covering the window of my office that looks out into the hallway so I could just stay here but I don't think that will be approved. Won't know til I ask though. At least I have a private space with a lock on it no matter what.

    ETA @amber0529 I am very happy you don't work there anymore and I hope you have a much easier time next go around.

    We all have these stories. Know your rights and don't be afraid to stick up for them. I pitched a fit when I went back. I got what should have been provided to me.
