My 30th birthday is Sunday. H told me he didn't get me anything but we have a family computer and when I went to log in to gmail, his popped up and he had an order confirmation email from Kate Spade.
The confession is usually I spoil my surprises because I HATE surprises. But I'm being good this time!
My H will never know this, but I knew he was going to propose. I found the ring in our safe when i went to put something in there a week before the trip on which he proposed.
And I'm such an awful person that I TOOK IT OUT AND TRIED IT ON.

If I had pearls on I would be clutching them right now.

I pearl clutch at myself!
This is also why I stay in the specific area of the safe where my stuff is now and I touch nothing else!
I never thought I would be one of those people that neglects their animals once they have a baby, but here I am. They don't get nearly the attention they did before. They need to be groomed, but it's a two person job and the baby is super clingy these days. On days when they are particularly messy or just being assholes I think about giving them up.
I unfollowed an old friend on IG because all she posts are things about chronic lymes disease and pro-Trump/anti-Hillary memes. I realized that I was rolling my eyes every time she posted. I don't even feel bad.

Political confession...if I even make the effort to vote in Nov, I'm writing in my standard aussie's name for president. My rationale.... 1. Both candidates are horrible. 2. My ridgeback is very protective & doesn't like most men. 3. My mini Aussie LOVES everyone too much. 4. Which leaves my standard Aussie who is a good combo of independent & loving.

Speaking of strollers (in Randoms)...mine is still in the box.
This is shocking to me. We couldn't live without ours. J gets so pissed in the car seat.
+1
I put her in it during quick shopping trips. I have more room in the under carriage basket then if her carseat was in the cart. She also makes all the old ladies squee that way. lol

ok this one may be a little deep. I'm not looking for hair pats, just need to get this off my chest.
I HATE my post partum body. HATE it. It makes me depressed. It's so bad that I avoided shopping for a bridesmaid gown for my BFF's wedding and when we finally went, I cried in front of everyone because I felt so fat. Nothing fits. I don't have a lot to spend on new clothes, and I feel like I'll never lose weight. I try to get to the gym, but with mh's work schedule and K not sleeping well, it's been almost impossible. I only have an hour max to decompress every night as it is. Even if I do lose the weight there is so much skin. so much. stupid polyhydramnios.
I'm going to talk to my therapist about this the next time I see her because it's not getting any better.

SheilaTheTank - hugs lady. It's so hard getting back and getting used to a new normal.
Do you have any restrictions? Jillian Michael's 30 day shred got me over the hump with my first and ditching soda for water, tea, or coffee. And the workouts only last about 20 minutes and a dvd is $8 on Amazon.

i'll look into this. Most of it, is that I'm so depressed about the whole thing, I'm having a hard time even starting. I'm in a "what's the point" state of mind.

C loved the car seat for 2 months and I was all like "yes this is so damn beautiful!!!111" but then the switch went off and now she just screams. Made our 8 hour road trip pretty fun.

I've been letting the baby watch Mickey Mouse Club house when I need to get something done. Like the toddler isn't even home and I'll turn it on just for the baby.

This is another TMI post, sorry.
AF came in hard and fast and totally took me by surprise last week. We were doing our first overnights with the baby away from home and I always have some back-up pads and tampons, but this was so bad I burned through them within 8 hours. And all the bottoms I had packed were white (including sleepwear). How did I not see this coming, right?
FFC: In a fit of desperation before I could get out to the store for more, I used a prefold. It was actually better than a plastic pad for a number of reasons. I'm kind of tempted to make this a thing post babies.

Maybe mama cloth might be for you? There are a ton of people where I live that use it and love it.
