Weird! I delivered pizza in my youth and we were specifically forbidden from entering anyone’s home. (Though, I think that was mostly for our safety, more than anyone else’s, especially the girl drivers like myself. You would not believe the amount of times sleazy guys would try to get me to enter their…

I am so livid after reading this I am shaking. I hope these guys go to jail for the rest of their lives. What fucking monstrous fucks.

I’m just hoping by the time work starts up again I’ll be such an old pro with the pumping and breast feeding thing, it won’t be as intimidating/awful to pump at work as I am imagining it to be! Good luck to you too and congrats on your pregnancy! :)

I’m about to have my first baby (2-3 weeks to go!) and I think the thing I’m most freaked out by, other than labor, is the length that you’re supposed to breast feed! Don’t get me wrong, I definitely want to breastfeed and understand all of the benefits involved, but am I selfish for not wanting to feel chained to a…

I don’t hate Hillary, and I’d be okay voting for her if Bernie doesn’t make it through the primary, but good lord she’s never been progressive and it’s ridiculous to sell herself as such. She’s always been a centrist. Just embrace it, Hil! Sell yourself as a tough, pragmatic centrist and accept it. You’re not going to…

Ha, I was posting about this the other day. I am so into Krasinki’s current look that I seriously might see this movie! In the theater! I might see a MICHAEL BAY movie about BENGHAZI. It’s like my brain is broken.

I’m SO on board with bearded John Krasinski. So on board... I might see a Michael Bay movie. (Help me.)

It is the worst - telling someone, or being told over the phone. I was told over the phone that my dad died, and to make it even more awful, I was thousands of miles away in Africa (and 18 years old.) It was sincerely the worst moment of my life. Whenever you’re on the phone and the person on the other line asks if…

Making pasta with whatever I have available in the house, which tonight means butter/garlic sauce, fresh parsley and bacon. Is that... a thing? I don’t know, but I think it’ll be delicious. Honeydew melon and hot cocoa for dessert.

If it gets worse, try a cane! It’s honestly been a godsend, as embarrassing as it was at first. Monday I’m also going to a chiropractor who specializes in treating pregnant women, so I am hoping that’ll help me enough to ride out the last few weeks sans cane, but we’ll see.

Oh how exciting! Congratulations! Isn’t it funny how pregnancy can make you superstitious? I get a little stab of worry every time I complain because I feel like if I complain too much then something will go wrong. And then I tell myself that that is ridiculous and insane, and I go ahead and complain. :) But the fact…

Haha, yes, I know exactly what you mean! For some reason, once you’re pregnant, everyone wants to tell you their pregnancy horror stories. It’s like just wait, please! Let me birth the baby and then we can talk about how *insert absolutely horrifying labor story/complication* happened to you or your cousin or your…

Yes, yes, right here! :) 36 weeks tomorrow and my biggest complaints are sciatic nerve pain (to the point I have to walk with a damn cane) and heartburn. But I’m feeling surprisingly upbeat lately and have gotten used to the cane. I think the fact that there are just 29 days til baby’s due date has helped my mental…

I’m in the same boat as you - first time doing this, 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow and definitely starting to get the delivery jitters! Hope people have some interesting stories/good advice! Of course, I don’t have any, since this is my first pregnancy, but if you go on a site like the Bump or similar, each birth month…

Oh my gosh, SO CUTE. My kittens loved pipe cleaners and the plastic milk jug rings when they were babies. :) Now that they’re older they actually do like proper cat toys, but it took a while for them to care about things like that. If they have cat nip inside that’s a bonus, but I would probably not give the nip to a…

Hey Jezzies! Hope everyone’s having a great Saturday. I’m stuck home alone while husband is at work, trying (and failing) to motivate myself to tidy the apartment. I’m weird mentally in that I can’t move on to anything that requires brainpower (like the writing I have to get done today) when the apartment is…

Hey, Jezzies! Happy New Year! :) I posted last week about being in the third trimester and hobbling around on a cane with terrible sciatic nerve pain, and it was just really getting me down. Wanted to come back this week say thank you for the replies. I’m in a much better head space now, even though the sciatic pain…

I mean, you would think that training could fix this problem, but it seems like cops cannot stop themselves from murdering mentally ill people. I have two family members in the social work field and they routinely have to restrain mentally ill people who are exhibiting aggressive, violent behavior. They are not armed…

That is good to know! I did throw up once, about a week ago (all over myself, while driving to work) due to heartburn/reflux, but it hasn’t happened again, thank god/knock on wood. If it does, I will definitely look into Prilosec!

Yeah, I’m going to a chiropractor next week but I don’t have a ton of hope for it completely fixing the problem (though I’m happy to be wrong about that!) Thanks for the encouragement. :)
