HA! Well, I feel like plenty of those books have been written, but the one that really helped me to look at the so-called “recommendations” with a more critical eye was”Expecting Better”. That and getting sick of reading every two seconds about some new thing to be terrified of eating or doing while pregnant. It gets…

Ohhhh just you wait.

Ooof but it is a good (obsessive) time!

HA!!! That cat is a menace under any name

A

FUCKING TUBBS!!!!

Tell you a secret. I’m pregnant and I’ve had all those things. Booze is minimal and has to be sipped slowly so it’s processed by the liver before it overwhelms the bloodstream, cheese just needs to be pasteurized so I can still get my brie fix, cold cuts my ob says are fine so I’m going with that, sushi needs to come…

YES! THIS! If I cut out all the food that “studies” say I shouldn’t have while pregnant I’d have nothing but filtered water every day. And then I’d be chided for not getting enough calories. I hate it. Can’t wait until this baby’s born and everyone can start nagging me about what I’m feeding my kid instead of myself.

OMG ME TOO!!!!!!! I have had a grand total of two games on my phone for years and then a friend showed me this game AND I CAN’T STOP! I’m trying to get up to my yard expansion with a single mindedness I didn’t know I possessed. And every time Tubbs comes around to eat all my premium cat food I text my husband “FUCKING…

I’M GONNA WATCH THE F OUTTA THIS SO HARD!!
I’m gonna watch the king’s speech, then this, and i’m so excited i can’t wait!!

Really good to know! I will look forward to the post-delivery euphoria, lol.

“I walked two steps out of my office for some water today and the beastie, in the living room with her dad and some Fraggle Rock, squealed at seeing me and crawl-charged my feet. *heart asplode*”

Man, oh man, that sounds amazing. My cat greets me every day when I walk in the door by running to say hello and sometimes I…

I used to do some nannying, mainly ages 2-7, and it really is mind blowing how much kids develop in such a short span of time. My fav little girl was terrified of everything at 2, bold at 5, and rolling her eyes at me sooooo over everything by 7, lol.

Ugh why do people get so competitive about labor? I don’t understand the epidural/c-section/etcetcetc shaming. I’d never really known that was a thing until some of my friends were sharing these articles on facebook that were all “I had a c-section and I’m still a real mother” and I was baffled, like who are these…

“Remember that if you are sleep deprived and wondering if you ruined your life!”

That labor sounds absolutely heavenly :-)

My sex dreams have also been really, really intense but then I wake up like “no one touch me!”
YES!!! this! lol I’ve always heard about the pregnancy libido but every time I start to initiate sex I wind up backing out. Or having to pee.

The candies worked okay. Not the miracle cure some of my friends found them to be,…

Aw man, I’ve been dreaming of floating in a pool. I’ve been practically taking a bath a day but now my belly sticks out of the water, so it’s less satisfying than I want it to be.

Milestones is a good idea! We can’t take time off, really, but we had a bunch of little trips like weddings and things that happened in the…

HAHAHAHA!!! Awww thats so sweet that your husband had your back like that! lol

Hahahahahhaa!! Aw man, an Ambien fog sounds like a fun way to do it.
