There are a few hanging chads who would like to say otherwise.

Oh, and by the way, Congrats!
Talk to your doctor about it. I ended up stopping running by week 12 or so, but that’s what I was comfortable with. I kept swimming and kept cycling (stationary bike) until near the end. I was more comfortable doing those since they were lower impact.
I was doing triathlons up until I got pregnant, so I was in pretty good shape. I often wore a heart rate monitor when I worked out, so I had a pretty good idea of my baseline. But even in the first trimester, when I worked out MILDLY, my HR was crazy high. If I didn't know I was pregnant, I would have thought my HR…
You forgot Buster Highman.
This was how I learned about sex too: from a book with the cross-section. I've still never had any talk whatsoever.
I did both - nursed at home, pumped at work, and both have their pros/cons. The endless cleaning with pumping was the biggest drawback for me. That, and feeling like livestock. Mooooooo!
Been in this exact situation. I also opted for rock tits.
My favorite shopping mall has a small nursing room with a nice comfy rocker and a small table and chairs for the older siblings. Love it.
You are a saint. Your kid should write Mother’s Day cards that say “Thanks for pumping for me on an airplane” for the rest of his/her life.
I started traveling for work right about the time I was starting to wean my daughter, so I could go several hours before pumping. I had a great plan: pump at the hotel before my flight and then nurse as soon as I got home after a two hour flight. But then my flight got cancelled and I had to wait 4 hours for the next.…
First off, the kid’s hungry when the kid is hungry. You can rationalize with an infant: if you can wait until we’re on the plane you can have all the nom nom you want...
I remember going to University of Utah meets (they’ve always had strong gymnastics) and the loving the shit out of every minute. Far more impressive in person.
Oh... I thought Ann Coulter was 105... Evidently I need more coffee.
I'm gonna quote this in the future. Pop music is just so bleh to me.
Video Gaming’s Project Runway. Not Next Top Model. Do you even?
I think there’s an opportunity for a RUE McClanahan/BEA Arthur/O joke in here, but I’m too lazy/tired/drunk to find it.
We bought our first house in 2007 with zero down (because 2007). We put money into the house on various projects, but still sold for a profit in 2014. We turned around and bought our new house with the money from our first house, made some improvements, and if we were to sell today, we’d sell for a profit. We were…
I was in a similar predicament when I had my first kid. I used my two weeks or vacation and one week of sick (plus a tiny bit more of vacation I begged to roll over from the preceding year) for maternity leave. And then every subsequent sick day or vacation day was used for the kid sick days or days when her daycare…
Add to this list: professional registrations. I damn near missed renewing my professional license because I didn't get the renewal card mailed to my new address.
