I woke up at 4 am - there was some big loader truck clearing snow and removing snow piles. They had their backup beeper on and it sounded like it was inside my room. They also had flashing yellow lights that turned my bedroom into a disco. My bedroom is at the back of the house with no windows looking onto the street, but it came in through the kitchen and lit up the entire house. it was crazy!
It woke up DH and I and it was there for about 30 minutes. why...in a podunk town, in the night when there are NO cars on the road, do they need to have flashing lights and a backup beeper on? I know they have a job to do but seriously they woke up the entire neighborhood.

I'm sorry peach. That sucks.
As regards the new button, I haven't noticed the problem, but I don't really use the new button often. I can put it on the help pages and ask, though? We're going to move to the new platform on Wednesday, so hopefully that will help!
I think I must be slightly puffy all over or something because when I just went to the bathroom I have every single seam from every single item of clothing on my lower body etched into me. Underwear seams, pants seams, and seams from the bella band helping to keep my stupid pants from falling down every time I bend over. I look like a burn victim or something. My clothes aren't THAT tight.
I also have wicked cankles. Like, dimples where my ankle bones are supposed to be. I'm drinking water like it's my job right now in attempt to knock this back down. I should probably go for a walk or something. At least my face doesn't look puffy. I think.
That sucks wawa. I have that problem with my underwear- they are all too small. I get raw spots where the seams were too tight too, but it's not all over my body

I had this when I was pregnant with Rubes. Hardcore. I just wanted to be naked all the time from like months 7 onward..lol. It got to the point I felt like my clothes actually hurt. Drink a ton of water...it does help some at least.
And maternity clothes are not as comfy as people make them out to be. My maternity jeans are too tight right at the very top of my legs, so they won't go up quite high enough. So then I spend all day hiking them up. The next size up is saggy and gives me granny bum. Most of the shirts are now all bagged out and the ones that aren't are ripping after 2 washes because maternity clothes are crap quality.

the waistband of my underwear combined with my leggings yesterday were bothering me so much that I did actually go home. And immediately got naked and then fell asleep sprawled across our entire bed. Heaven!
I know being KU'd in the summer time sucks, but I really wish it was warm out so I could just wear dresses and flip flops and not have to have all these clothes TOUCHING me everywhere. But I'll freeze my ass off in my office if I tried to go barelegged.

I cannot wait to wear normal clothes again.
this is EXACTLY the same problem I was having with my jeans. Which is why I pulled the bella bands back out of the drawer. gives the belly panel enough of a boost that they aren't constantly falling down.

Word. I wore yoga pants exclusively pretty much. I got pretty good at dressing them up! Maternity pants are the most godawful invention ever.
And I'm dying to have more kids, but the thought of being pregnant again causes to me not push it harder. I love kids. Hate the pregnant part. Passionately.
really? I am glad I am not the only one. I am a bigger girl and I was getting rashes and raw skin....the crotch of my pants wasn't coming up high enough and my thighs were rubbing together at the very top. It was awful. I have 2 pairs of maternity pants that fit me properly, but one is almost worn out and is about to rip in one spot. I am turning more and more to yoga pants.

Totally. I hated being pg, but it was ok in the summer. I lived in my maternity bathing suit/cover up dress after work and on weekends. At work I rocked dresses and maternity linen pants. I hope if/when we have more kids, I'm big pg in the summer.
I just had a conversation with MH last night that I was thinking I wanted to have #2 pretty quickly or not at all. He was thinking like a 3-4 year age gap.
Screw that man! I want to get this baby carrying thing OVER with. I've had a very easy pregnancy so far, but frankly I'm vain enough that I don't want to finally get my body back into some sort of reasonable shape and then have this happen all over again. I'm thinking on this baby's 1st birthday we start TTC. We'll likely end up with a 2 year gap. sounds good to me. He think's that's crazy talk.
But I don't want to spend 4 years getting into the shape I want to be in, getting our routines and everything out of infant mode, get rid of all the baby stuff (or have to store it for that long. Blech) and then have to go back and do it all over again.
That sounds sucktastic.
Luckily we have a year to figure out which one of us is crazy.
I remember how awesome I felt immediately after DD was born...it was like instant relief and not just from labor pains. So freaking awesome when you are instantly free of all the aches, pains, heartburn, swelling, etc.....aside from the fact that you trade that for a crazily sore vajayjay and pooping feeling like you are passing broken glass ;D

Word.
I feel amazing.
I'm still a bit itchy, and my crotch is hella sore. Even my first BM wasn't bad. I was so scared because I think it was like the next night.
Plus, I have some new mom euphoria. I don't remember if I felt this with DD1.

Word Times Two! I didn't have an easy delivery with Rubes but I was all about busting out the hospital, ready to go! I was honestly fine when I got home too. I was all, "YAY! I can do things again. I half way feel like me!" I was in that state of euphoria for a long time. Even the aftermath which wasn't honestly that bad for me, was better than being pregnant to me.
The weather here is bizarre. It's January. I'm wearing short sleeves and didn't even need a coat this morning. The high tomorrow is supposed to be 73. My vent is that I just like seasons to feel like seasons. And 73 degrees in January doesn't feel right when it should be in the 40's. If I wanted that kind of weather in the winter I'd move to Miami.
I do realize that a lot of you northern ladies would gladly trade places though.
My only partially relevant contribution to the theme of this thread - being off BCP has made me a little cuckoo. I'll be super sweet to DH one minute then bite his head off the next. That also explains my "commie bullshit" comment LOL. Stuff just sends me over the edge and then 5 seconds later, I'm cool. I really wish I'd level out, but I don't see that happening, sigh.

I loved being pregnant in the summer (I had one baby in August and one in Sept). Everyone said they felt bad for me being so preg in summer, but I got to live in long tanks, cotton skirts and flip flops. Plus, when my belly itched and wanted nothing to touch it, I could lift up my shirt. I was so hot (as in wootwoo)...lol.
I had a pretty good work week, and although I was happy to bid it adieu and jump into the weekend with hope, my DH just picked a fight while I was trying to soothe a crying toddler during the bedtime routine and I can't shake the crawly feeling of yuck I have from it. Why can't I have a good week and a good weekend?!
