I feel like I really need to read "the magical art of tidying up" but instead i keep using it as a wine coaster.
My house is a disaster lol
I want to read it, but I know that it'd realistically just become more clutter in my house when I get busy and forget about it 5 pages in. But people rave about it SO MUCH...maybe I really would be hooked, and it really would change my life? Let me know if it lives up to the hype.
a fb friend posted a picture of her scale after she hit her pre preg weight (117) at 2 w pp after birthing surrogate twins. I would love to know how many unfriends she got for the post.
Am I reading this right? Was she the surrogate or did she have twins via surrogate?
Bc if it's the latter? WTF?
she was the surrogate. sorry for the confusion. still bizarre.
As for me, we had a good nursing day. A lot less refusal and some nice long sessions. Less screaming. I even got to do bedtime with Ben while Ethan took a Daddy nap. Overall a great day. AND I just pumped over 4 ounces and my boobs still feel full-ish. Go boobs!
Tomorrow we see the lactation consultant at the hospital and if I'm feeling non-exhausted we go to a free concert downtown.
@starry - I'm counting on you to have a non colicky baby to give me hope for my next one! I'm still scared to TTC after colic.
Daycare told us we can start sending DS in underwear as they are going to do a heavy push on potty training. He will have like a million accidents but I don't care. I would love if they can take all the heavy lifting here.
I bought 3 pairs of nude shoes today and had one in my closet. I tried to PIP each with the dress I bought...and they look almost exactly the same standing 5 feet from the mirror, LOL.
They're all different-ish:
But I can't even tell which ones I have on in which photo:
I gained no weight while pregnant and a zillion pounds since delivering. What the hell?! I NEED to fix this, but my only option for the gym (if I want to see the baby awake) is 9-10. It is now 8:53 and I am dressed in gym clothes, but I am so exhausted, I would probably fall asleep on the treadmill. There is just no way I can go tonight.
Looks like I'll need to focus on food first, which is not my strength.
I read Holly Madison's book last week, and now I am desperate to watch Girls Next Door LOL. Alas, it is not on Netflix, Amazon, or On Demand. Womp womp.
I figure the magical art is just not being so fucking lazy. No interest.
Yeah.....I need to actually sort through things and make an effort.
Lolz....
I just read it. I feel like it is for a young single person that lives alone. I'm guessing Marie fits this category but I don't know her age or life details. I mean, I can't sort dh's shit and he'll never get on board to do the process. and we have a kid with a ton of toys that i'm not going to throw away. so our house will always be cluttered.
but with the being said, she does make some very good points and i think you should read it . i sorted some stuff and got rid of (donated) 6 or 7 bags of stuff.
I'm very casually looking for a job because I think I might be a terrible SAHM. My kid eats too much crap (admittedly she's insanely picky but is it my fault for not introducing enough different foods?) watches too much TV, has language delays, and I can't keep the house clean.
If I had a job C could go to daycare and we could afford a cleaning service.
+1
that describes ds exactly. but I know he'd have a terrible time adjusting to daycare. so...?

Chase had a crazy burst of energy at bedtime so he is playing even though he should be asleep. But Nods is sleeping. Today is the first day ever, I have managed to not nurse her. I don't think she week wean any time soon, but it's nice to see that's a possibility in the future.

A threw an epic fit tonight that included hurling herself onto the floor and hitting her head on the ground on purpose. And I briefly wondered how early you can send a child to boarding school.
So we finally started watching The Wire and naturally I looked on IMDB to see what else everyone I recognize has been in, etc. and was surprised to learn the main dude is British.
How come British people do such believable American accents (even regional ones!) and we are so awful at doing British accents?
We just started too. About 10 years behind, but we finally started. I can't keep everything straight. In my postpartum haze, it's really too complicated for me. But I'm trying to keep up.
That shocks me! I had to look it up. DH got all paranoid about me googling it - "you're going to spoil it!" I'm pretty sure googling the guy that plays Mcnulty is not going to spoil the entire show.
Great work @marshmallows! I know you have put in a ton of effort. Don't be a chump like me and enjoy your body for more than a year before getting KU again
Thanks! I am enjoying it. Ask chickens987 about my romper. #shameless
((@natariru)), I hope hope hope you get another newborn, but please don't feel like you have to "redeem" yourself. You are a good mom and you got help when it was needed. Don't punish yourself for not doing it "soon enough" or whatever. You did what you could with what you had.
Yeah I was not one of those women who lost weight bf. I gained and gained and gained.
I gained about 15 pounds post pg from pumping and using domperidone. I almost think this will be a mental lose lose situation for me post pg bc in order to produce more milk, I'll likely require meds but I don't want to take them bc they make me eat a shitton and gain weight. But from what it looks like, gaining weight and eating a lot is par for the course with BFing/EPing? Ugh.
I hope my OB is willing to write me a script for something like zoloft that I can leave the hospital with instead of waiting until my 6w pp appt.
@astrid @starry @astrid @sessalee
I did not gain any weight nursing. I couldn't totally lose all my pregnancy weight either, but got close. I was only hungry at night for the first 6 weeks or so and then it evened out.
Try not to worry about the weight till it happens. Plus this time you gained more weight during pregnancy so maybe your body is already where it needs to be for milk production (since apparently milk production is linked to fat stores in hips and thighs)

My DH wasn't onboard either, until I put all his clothes on the bed said "good luck buddy". I emptied all his drawers and pulled everything off his hangers. It took him a few hours to sort, but he loves it now. We need to tackle our entryway and kitchen now.
It's pretty much what Holly writes too. It's not glamorous at all.
I used to watch TGND and it was obvious that all of their personalities were scripted. You could really see the torment on Holly's face much of the time. I feel like if I rewatched it, it would be even more depressing now that she admits it in the book. The snippets I have read about her book and what went on are so skeevy.
