@doxiemoxie212 - I love your mom just from that recount, lol. So cute!!
As for squatty potties, I've never had a problem with my BMs. My issue now is that I'm pregnant and my GI system is slowing down and absorbing more and I just don't have to go every day apparently. Literally zero urge. A squatty potty wouldn't help with that. But thanks for the recommendation! I fully plan to buy one at some point in the future for H, and have wanted to for a while.
@izza2 I also never had issues with my BMs (daily like clockwork, at least once a day.. Sometimes twice! Hahaha) unless pg (with DD1 and 2 I had some issues) but this pg only a few times at the beginning but wasn't doing the squat. Hahahahha. And as for non pg BMs, it definitely made them faster coming out. Idk how to explain that better. Anyway I also understand what you are saying and I'm totally not trying to argue that this would work for you when clearly you know your body and what's going on with it! Hopefully you can find a solution or it eases up quick!
Left the house at 9:00 am and didn’t get home until 7:30 pm, which would be fine if it was for something exciting...but not for a kid’s birthday party that is 2.5 hours away without traffic. And so.many.screaming.kids!
Finally made it pumpkin picking. Probably the worst idea I’ve had lately. It was like 90 degrees in the sun and I am exhausted, but my 2 year old had fun and that’s all that matters.
@doxiemoxie212 if you don’t mind spending some $$$ Nordstrom will turn any of their bras into nursing bras. I’m a 32DD and my band never changed through pregnancy. I lived in sports bras towards the end tho for comfort haha
ETA: Apparently the bump wanted me to post this here instead?? Moving this to the correct place.

My big kitteh has been extra snuggly towards me lately. He is not typically an attention seeking, snuggly guy. Maybe it's the pregnancy? I'll take it though. My kittens, however, are the cuddliest little monsters ever and I love it! Meriadoc (Merry) laid on my chest snuggling and purring for like an hour today.
@sabby2 my cat does not typically cuddle me. Just DH. He has been ALL about me for the last week. He is currently at my shoulder. When pg with DS, kitty did the same thing. Was constantly trying to cuddle me and wanted to live on my belly. I for sure think they can sense the baby.
Edited because words are hard and auto correct doesnt like me tonight.
@meagster13 we didn't have any of our cats last time I was pregnant, just our dog. My dog never acts any different but my big cat I'm noticing a difference so far.
I got the ducks back... Forgot to close the door this morning and 2 of them were uncatchable... Will be visiting the neighbor again tomorrow.. Ugh. Then my DH and I got into a HUGE fight this morning.. Just after the ducks escaped and he's basically not talking to me unless he absolutely has to.. Eff my life right now.
@chocomom2 oh it started with the ducks but it has nothing to do with the ducks.. If you know what I mean. We have some serious underlying communication and team work issues. Oh well in a week it will go back to status quo unfortunately. But it is what it is... Never really been happy or in love..we just kinda got stuck with each other in a way... Ha! So I guess this is the alternative.
@sabby2 my cat was incredibly cuddly last time I was pregnant, even towards the end he would hug my belly and purr. He is usually an asshole cat and a troublemaker. As soon as I found out I am pregnant this time, he sits on my belly and purrs every evening.
@doxiemoxie212 Loved reading about your surprise! So fun! And yes, brought a tear to my eye too.
Sounds like the rest of you had some fun/exciting/not so exciting weekends too! I was at a conference for church Friday night/Saturday then yesterday we hung out with my family for most of the day. It was a great weekend!

@marcus7676 So with you on catching up instead of working! Whoops. I wasn't on TB at all over the weekend so it's fun to catch up with everyone!
ETA: And wow! Just "caught up" on the FFFC...that wasn't so fun to catch up on. Whew. I don't want to post a comment on it though because I don't want to bump it back up. Just going to walk away from that one.

@Dashaina I'm really sorry YH makes you feel that way. I agree with @Miz_Liz - I hope you can get through to him, that sounds really hard. That type of gas lighting would make me feel terrible.
@Miz_Liz and @zamora_spin the thing is I knew what I was getting into when we started down this amazing adventure and I definitely don't feel jilted or like I've settled... It's just more that I'm frustrated and pg and he has really high and actually pretty reasonable expectations of my behavior and I just want to lay around and mope... Which doesn't make me feel good and he knows that and it hurts him and frustrates him to see me do this to myself... So really I think he just doesn't know how to handle my emotions and it's frustrating him. He can do so many amazing things but interacting with women has never been on that list... Hahahahah
