I'm leaving work at noon today. It's my 3rd day back after maternity leave. I really don't NEED to take a half day, but doing it anyway.
I haven't worked a full week yet and I have been back for three weeks. I worked from home half a day the first week, had to leave early because sick kid, got sick myself, and working at home again.
Ugh. I feel overwhelmed because I had to exhaust all of my PTO while out on leave. And my company isn't very friendly with work from home. I wish I could have eased back into work a bit more with some half days or partial weeks.
Even after I finally got pregnant again, I still felt intense jealousy when other women announced their pregnancies. Even now having DS, I feel jealousy when women announce pregnancies. My cousin who just got married in August announced she was pregnant back in June. My first thought? "Must be nice to just get pregnant that quickly."

IF and a loss have made me bitter.
Same. I think about this when people ask how many kids I want. I always think well wanting them isn't always enough.
I was really looking forward to breastfeeding again, but I feel like I am over it now.
My plunket group (a Mum's group we have here) have all had their second babies and after we sat around talking about it, it's amazing how many of the Mum's feel totally differently about breastfeeding this time and are ready to be done much much earlier.
LO has slept in his clothes for the past two nights.
Both nights he has fallen asleep on DH after a feed and we've assumed he will wake for another before his usual 10ish bedtime.
But he's been absolutely out to it so I've just put him to bed in his clothes and he's slept till 2-3am.
Looks like I need to get his jammies on earlier.
DS always sleeps in the onesie he was wearing that day.
I will definitely do bed in the same onesie from the day too. These are clothes clothes though. Like his t-shirt and wee track pants (over his bodysuit).
They're cotton and soft and all but it still feels a bit ik to do.

My 2 year old typically goes to sleep in his comfy play clothes now that it's summer. The baby either gets changed to a sleeper. If she's already wearing one, I just keep that one on.

+1.
Except your reaction is nicer than mine. I may or may not have responded to my mom's news that her friend's son/DIL were expecting approximately 5 seconds after their wedding with "Of course they fucking are." Bitter indeed So yeah, zero judgements from me.
I didn't like the smell of LO's head as a newborn. I know some people love the smell of babies, but his head always smelled greasy lol. It's better now at least.
I do love smelling his breath though...i also did with DS1. Its like puppy breath!

I think I must need to bathe my baby more often cause his smell is not pleasant. It's like milk and grease.
I get so grossed out when people sniff his head and say they love the baby smell. I want to be like, you do realize he spends most of the day with the top of his head near my armpit while he's nursing, right?

I can taste some, but not as strongly as most people.
That would make me so sad. I'm not joking when I say I would probably become depressed if I couldn't really taste food. I really love eating and experiencing different flavors. How I'm not overweight, I'm not sure. But eating good food brings me so much happiness. If survival were the only reason I had to eat...I don't even know...

I love to eat too! I can taste enough to enjoy food and trying new things

This is totally me! Eating is an experience for me. I get excited when I get hungry. I also need dessert to finish a meal.
On a completely unrelated note, I have no idea why I can't lose this baby weight!
