Popping in to add that I felt the same way a few years ago. Met my husband when I was a high school senior and we kept dating til we got married a decade later. Its normal to feel that way, not horrendous! It all worked out, we're happy and still in love and more importantly, still best friends. We've got one kid

I grew up on a dead-end across the street from a large field. We roamed all over on bikes as a kid and didn't have nosy neighbors because the houses were on large lots. We're raising my family in a typical neighborhood with sidewalks and houses close together etc...One family on our block has children playing in the

$5 for the entire wardrobe??! I shop consignment, garage sales, and target exclusively for my tot and thought I was pretty savvy, but damn! How do you do it?

Hell yeah! I can't with 'til we're no longer paying for daycare. It's a long way off since I have another on the way now, but your life sounds a lot like mine and I'm gonna feel so rich in 5-6 years when they both go to grade school.

I, too have a boring office job that allows me to get shit done. Most days this job sucks but they pay me well and I have time to plan vacations and research vacuum cleaners and stuff, so I'm content. Congrats on the new house!

I went on a great vacation with my friends about a year after I got married. We rented a condo on the beach in Fl for a week and just lounged and drank G&T's all week. It was a blast. Now we're all having kids or pregnant so the next big trip will probably be the in a couple years when we turn 30.

My best friend has the same thing. Only, instead of BitchFace she has SadFace due to the natural slope to her brow line. She often gets pestered about what's bothering her or why does she look sad...Drives her nuts!

But, I think...I think it IS part of their diet/workout regimen. At least that's been my experience dealing with crossfitters.

Newborns are hard!! I'm sorry you're stuck in that phase, I remember it well. Right around 4 or 5 weeks old, my daughter cried every day from 4pm-midnight. I wasn't burping her enough. She'd fall asleep after nursing and I'd quickly burp her without waking her (because YES she's finally fucking sleeping!!!) So

Hey thanks! I'll look into that now. I don't know if I would feel comfortable demanding it, which is dumb. I tend to be more polite and trust the experts and get angry later that I didn't speak up. But now that I know family-friendly c-sections are a thing, I can bring it up with my doctor.

Yep and yep. You always get right to the point in your comments! Love it.

During my c-section, after the baby was born, they cleaned her up and took her and my husband back to the recovery room while I was being put back together. I had seen her from across the room, but couldn't touch her or anything. Over an hour later, I'm wheeled back to my room where our entire extended family was

What!? How have I never heard of this!? I had an unplanned c-sect for my first and now I'm contemplating Vbac this time around. However, if I could do a scheduled c-section where I actually got to touch and see my baby right away rather than an hour later, that would be ok too! Last time, they took her out, I heard

No, don't worry! I am on pinterest and admit to originally feeling a tiny bit of stress, thinking that I was supposed to be doing all this creative shit too. Seconds later, reality hit and I now use it to look for slow-cooker recipes and other time-saving things. You can filter out a lot of the BS posts and tailor

That could be cute. I want to film it now after seeing this video! Those reactions were great.

I feel like that right now, but I don't wanna tell him over the phone. I have a toddler and I remember well how long "the Waiting Time" seems. Best of luck with your L&D :)

Thank you!

Congrats! I hope you hear back soon and with good news. Waiting for test results is the worst.

So...I just took a test this morning and found out I'm pregnant! I haven't told anyone yet, not even my husband. This post is timely, since I want to tell him in a fun way.

Yes! Spring really is finally here!! Its so strange to leave the house and not have to waste time bundling up in a coat, hat, scarf...nope, now I can just sling my purse over my shoulder and stroll out into the world.
