@rainafire77 I hope you and the family are staying safe. We are starting to get the smoke here in southern NV so I can only imagine how bad it is there!
I finally understand the obsession with buy buy baby! I could stay in there for hours and wish I had one where I live right now.
@SarahFoley725 I just read that thread! I can't believe how well those Mommas can get their point across without really being mean! Especially when she deserved every comment that she got! Shows who the mature adults are right away!
It seemed like my bump went all squishy last night & I was trying to figure out where Kaleb went in there. DH was all "maybe he's just enjoying all his room for activities" The bump came back to the front with hiccups an hour later. So cute.

I noticed this the other day too! Some days bump is super hard and then other days it’s all squishy. It’s weird.

In regards to the June FFFC: When cupcake commented on her managers loss at 20 weeks and knowing everything meatballs is going through I think I could have really TP her in person. I really just want to curse her the hell out. Damn fear of the ban hammer

Oh man me too! When I was working, I worked with a girl who had been trying for 8 years to get pregnant. She was down to her last egg for ivf (I’m not sure what process that she was going through, I just know she had one last chance at it). She knew that my husband and I had been talking about trying for kids. It took us 2 months to get pregnant and I did everything I could to keep my pregnancy a secret because of what she was currently going through. I thought it would be so insensitive of me to be like. Oh yea we’re pregnant already!!!
So for they woman in June to flaunt it to someone who had actually gone through a recent loss is like. Omg wtf. Made me ragey.
Im not sure if this needs a TW but I'll put it because I'm new and still learning. I had a loss at 19 weeks before and I have to applaud the June board for being nice to her because I wouldn't be able to, and her attitude towards her manager really pissed me off.
I'm just on here lurking today because DH is having a hard time interacting with me. So I went to look at June's board.
And I agree, they were way way too nice to her in FFFC. But I find it so damn disheartening that she couldn't even take one second and see a view from someone else's perspective. I never suffered from a loss before this week, but I know I never ever would have done what she did to her manager. I have no patience for anyone who is so self centered they can't extend one ounce of compassion to someone else.
ETA: her gif at the end about making new friends was the cherry on top for me. Like it's all a big joke to her. GTFO.

Did she not consider that she put her co-worker in an uncomfortable position where she might have felt obligated to respond the way she did, so as to not make her (OP) feel uncomfortable? I mean, using someone else's [possibly forced] reaction to validate your asshat move is pretty shitty. And it's not uncommon for loss parents to be in the position to make others feel less uncomfortable about pregnancy and infant loss.
She can miss the point entirely. Fine. But it still makes it an asshat move.

@soulcupcake my thoughts exactly. Her co worker was probably putting on a brave front. I'm glad she isn't in our BMB because I would downright refuse to participate in a FB group with someone like that.

So when I was pregnant with DD I ate soooo much ice. We'd go to this shaved ice stand and I'd get the biggest one they had plain. I used my Margaritaville machine exclusively to make a pitcher of ice. At least it was a healthy craving. Anyway, we went to a little festival today and it was hot so I got a plain snow cone. It was like a gateway drug. The addiction is back and it is strong.

Yeah... that June read was entertaining and infuriating at the same time. Users should be able to vote ppl like her off the boards. That stuff is unacceptable.
What's a really hydrating lotion to use on a toddler? My DD skin is getting super dry. I try not to give a bath every day but she's still on the BLW journey so it's not exactly an option, I out lotion on at least once if not twice a day. It's bad enough that it looks like a sunburn
@gymmonkey95 I like the aveno eczema lotion. Have you tried just plain old Vaseline on her after her bath?
