My due date went wooshing past and the kid hadn’t even dropped yet.

I use the wipes from Costco so not your fancy charcoal ones! If I wash my makeup off with cleanser, water, and a washcloth it looks like I tried to take a shower in the sink.

Don’t be impaired during that conversation. Save that until after the deed is done :)

I know chiropractic care gets a bad wrap sometimes but it helped my back issues during pregnancy. I wasn’t completely pain-free but not nearly as bad as I would have been without it. Doing prenatal water aerobics at the Y was a nice break from supporting the belly all on my own but getting it of the water brought me…

For a minute there I thought you weren’t really pregnant but told her that you were in order to keep her where she’s supposed to be. I’m glad I was mistaken!

This is going to be cliché as all get out but I think If you were meant to be, set them Free really fits here since he’s deployed. He should be coming home at some point. If you are both interested when he returns, you can take back up then.

I got to spend time with my in-laws in-laws. I am not their favorite person and am strict with my kid which is the opposite of how his cousins are handled. It's all so tiring, and I was exhausted to start with. I think (hope) things will be easier when we have a home appropriate for entertaining and we are in control…

“The hard truth is [that] Trump only cares about Trump.”

My mom always called me a bull in a china cabinet. She gets a bit sad sometimes that she couldn’t afford to enroll me in ballet as a kid (all her idea, I never expressed an interest there). She thought it would make me less clumsy. Perhaps that still wouldn’t have worked out how she wanted!

Super frustrating!

It really is disaster management. If you drop all your stuff on the stairs, it’s going everywhere and your more fragile stuff will break. Dropping your stuff in an elevator might result in some broken stuff but it’ll be right at your feet.

We didn't have the rope climb but I'm going to assume I would have failed there, too.

Me neither. I was a skinny beanpole kid yet never had the upper body strength to do it. There's no chance in hell now!

I thought taking the stairs every day into my new job would be my secret bullet to curb desk job weight gain. Eighteen-ish months and +15 lbs later...

All hail Zombie Jesus!

I’ve worn those no-show socks meant to be worn with ballet flats inside my tights when my feet were on the gnarly side. The socks are SmartWool so not just another sheer layer for your feet to destroy.

I was 24/25 and drew a hard line at guys with kids. It's a big deal-breaker for lots of people. Don't compromise yourself because this dude led you to believe he was your perfect match. He owed it to you and his kids to be up front about his situation. You can be picky!

I was 30 when my kid was born. Husband and I had been together for several years but had only been married less than a year by time the kid came. We’d intended to wait a year or so and potentially relocate before starting our family. We technically still could move elsewhere - families relocate all the time - but…

I’m struggling with this a bit as well. My mom has been surprisingly quiet on this front. My uncle (mom’s brother) makes comments about how we should go to Mass and how dare I take Good Friday off of work (my office closes, I’m not taking vacation) because we don’t celebrate the right way.

I had heartburn but not too terrible. More so than I’ve had while not pregnant, which is hardly ever. Otherwise my kid’s hair has taken the same route yours has (though he’s only 3 so unclear if there are more color changes to come). My MIL insisted it would all fall out but never did.
