I went to H&M on my lunch today to try and find some new shirts that are not cardigans. Everything I tried on was horrendous. I seriously hate all clothes right now! But that Target tunic posted looks cute so I may go try that on. I am not happy with the way I look these days and am too lazy to do anything about it.
Quoting for solidarity. If I didn't have boobs or hips clothing would look spectacular on me.
We had dinner out tonight with my 4 year old's closest friend from school. They had a blast, except at the very end, the other girl told my kid that my kid wasn't her best friend. DD1 spent the last 45 minutes crying about how her feelings were hurt and she's just going to "give up" on the other girl. I tried to empathize and take her feelings seriously and gently reminded her that she has many other good friends. She countered (correctly) that none of the other good friends go to school with her and that a third girl hangs out with the friend and they sometimes don't want to play with her. She sounded SO sad, it totally broke my heart. I am not ready for this shit yet!
karinothing and pooh8402 - I think so. I plan to wear black leggings and black nursing tanks underneath so it won't be as noticeable to lift up the top to nurse. I've done that with another tunic i have and it was fine.

Preach! Boobs are the WORST for finding clothes that fit. I regularly tell H I can't wait until I'm done nursing #2 so I can go get a reduction (and lift!).
the underwear appear disproportionately large? (not calling you large, the proportions just seem off!)
Must just be the photo! Everything is size XS (I just got them out of the dryer to do a paranoid check and make sure I didn't get a mismatched set lol).
The underwear are some kind of sexy boyshort cut though that reveals a little too much cheek for me so I probably won't wear them a lot. I like full booty coverage. lol.

DH won't be home until very, very late tonight, so I just made a batch of peanut butter cookies and ate half of them with a big glass of milk. And I'm watching the Kardashians.
I keep playing the "gas or baby pokes" game. Pretty sure it's just gas, lol. How early is early but not laughable for feeling the baby? I want to say I felt reallllly early pokes at like 15 weeks last time.
This time I felt baby bubbles at 13 weeks. I thought I was nuts but that's definitely what it was. With ds1 it was around 17 weeks or so.
My mom claims her sister went four weeks overdue. That almost certainly means inaccurate due date, right? It was the 70s so no dating ultrasounds. Is that physically possible?
I was looking at some old statistics from the 80s and it had categories for 43 and 44 weeks gestation, but the numbers were very low. By the 90s there were a few 43 weeks and no 44 weeks. So in theory it can happen, but it's not common and many cases are probably late ovulation/dates being off.

My mom went a month over her suspected due date with my sister in 1983 but she never had a period after she went off BC so I'm sure her dates were just wrong.

I have had a fit bit just under 2 weeks and have only cracked 10k steps twice. What are the secrets to getting those steps without a lot of extra effort? Lol

I've had mine a week tomorrow and the highest I've gotten is almost 8,000. Womp womp.
I walked to Subway today for lunch and got some extra steps. But then I apparently consumed 1200 calories, so...

I think a lot of due dates were completely off. I was born 5 weeks early and was 7.5 lbs.

DH was 5 weeks late in 1980. They discharged him early because "they were worried he would get up and walk around the nursery soon." Lol he did have teeth by 4-5 months.

This is really dumb, but DS's 3 good buddies are not in his class this year and I am really bummed for him because he hasn't really latched onto any of the kids who are in his class yet. He said they had to pair up to read today and he didn't have a partner, so the teacher paired him with someone. It made me really sad, even though DS seemed not bothered at all by it.
I have had a cough for almost a week and I have been toughing it out, but it's kicking my ass. At this point it's morphed into a legit asthma attack.
The worst part is H is out at a rare work dinner (I normally have yoga Wednesdays and I stayed home tonight so he could do this thing, which he really NEVER asks me to do) and I just had to text him to not linger and please come home soon because I am sick. I actually called a friend to have her listen to me breathe and help me decide whether I need to go to urgent care.
I would plop him in the crib with some toys/board books, turn some white noise on and close the door.
Doesn't work!
Ugh we just did CIO with a two year old. Brutal. BRUTAL!!!
He finally wore himself out, but this is the fourth or fifth night of refusing bedtime. If things don't get better in the next few days, we might try the bed transition.
