I think they are a response to the “weddings are boring” complaint. They are an activity that you can do if you want if you’re not into dancing that are cheap to throw together if you have a laptop and throw together some props. They get fancy of course but they don’t have to be. I wanted to have a crafts table at my…

Thanks for the advice!!! I have an electric toothbrush so this is really good to know! Also no judgement: I had a friend who is trying to log hours as a doula help us during labor. She was everything we needed to get through it

Thanks! I’ve just entered that “holy hell breastfeeding hurts and it’s going to hurt forever” stage. I know intellectually it can't be forever and yet... Sigh.

HA!!! I was brainstorming some but could not get out of bed for some strange reason. Now I know why. Though there was a pooh bear with a honey jar one being tossed around. Just a little red shirt and all that belly lol

Yeah that was rough, but it's OVER!!!!

Lol! Yeah I better dress her up now while I can before she starts to have pesky “opinions” ;)

Thanks!!! :)

HA!!! Well thank you! Considering it was pajama pants, a yellow raincoat, a crate and barrel stamped ribbon, and a marker taped to my hat, it was a pretty slap dash job. But I’m really flattered you didn’t think it looked like bad cosplay! (which just autocorrected to bad Coldplay... As if there were any other kind of…

Thank you! :)

Thanks!

Hey all! Last SNS I posted my weird, preggo, thrown-together Tweedle Dee Tweedle Dum costume (http://jezebel.com/maternity-leav…) I’d always heard before labor starts you get a burst of energy. My mom painted a bedroom, a coworker planted a garden. Apparently bad cosplay was how I spent my burst of energy because I…

Oh no, are people seriously expecting you to recover like that? Don’t listen to them. Every body/ labor is so different I’m sure there exist people that can bounce right back but I for one am not one of those lol!

Thanks! Honestly I have never been more grateful to be in the age of the smart phone. My body feels awful, I’m not really sleeping or eating, I usually have this small human feasting on me, but my phone is a tiny computer that I can hold in one hand so really what have I got to complain about ;o)

Aw girl I feel you- I just gave birth for the first time on Tuesday. I’d even venture to say those last weeks every day should count as its own week because they draaaaaaged on. I kept telling myself id give birth at 38 weeks. Why? I don’t know. But that only made the slog toward 40 that much worse because I kept…

Yeah I feel the same way. I’m looking forward to having a baby but pregnancy is more a means to an end than anything. I felt guilty about that at first, but I’ve come to embrace the fact that pregnancy just is what it is. I got so frustrated every time I got a new symptom I’d look it up and the way to make it better…

Oh man I relate so hard. I got pregnancy related sciatica pretty early on, and it was so frustrating because all of the resources I found said I needed to exercise more... Yeah I’m a fitness instructor. Nothing to do with fitness level. Stretching just made it worse. For me the game changer was when I got a pregnancy…

Ha! I have four days left until my estimated due date, but I alternate between thinking it could happen any moment and feeling like I'm the first person that will be pregnant for three years.

HA!!! Good tip! I'd say I'll keep it in mind but I have the feeling it would happen regardless

Thanks!! :)

Aw I hadn't even thought of that!
