twotxmommies, so? What was the sex?

[peggels24]

I feel pukey. And I have so much work to do so it really sucks. I thought powering my way through a bunch of work would help but it's really not (it is making the time fly though)

Took DS to the pool today and rocked my Bump-kini. I think I may actually be able to make my top work for most of the time I need it. I'll probably have to get new bottoms in the near future though because all my weight goes to me hips and thighs.

@annperkins where did you get your bathing suit? I need one or two for the summer and I keep seeing ones that either super ugly or stupid expensive.

I have this top from Target. I was very excited when they started selling bathing suits with underwire this year. I need the support, but boy am I cheap when it comes to swim suits.

I just have regular black bottoms, also from Target, because I didn't care for the cut of the matching bottoms.

Fun swim story from today-

DS and I are in the changing room. I take off my underwear and he says very loudly, You don't have a penis!
Me: No, I have a vagina.
DS: Oh...ew. ::backs away::

I wish I had those theiowagirl. I'm super sensitive to medication so I avoid taking stuff the meds I do know I react ok to, I'm not allowed while preggers. Gah.

I'm the same way. It sucks. I'm sorry you're dealing with it. I still wear my breathright strips at night. They at least make sleeping a little easier!

I'm watching Anne with an E on Netflix ... I am unsure about my feelings about it. Anyone else watching it yet?

SPOILER: Click to show

{TW}they show child abuse and apparently there's a suicide attempt in one episode.

I'm full of questions today. I was going to make a thread, but I don't think this is thread worthy.

DS will 2.5 when #2 arrives. I plan on babywearing again and by the time #2 will be stroller age (aka too big for me to want to wear) DS will be closer to 3.5 years old. My experience with 3 year olds is lacking, but do they still go in a stroller? We like to go on 1+ mile walks in our neighborhood. We don't need a jogging stroller.

Basically, are you planning on getting a double stroller? What one? Does it make more sense to get an inexpensive umbrella stroller for the off chance DS wants to go for a ride?

SEE THREAD PLEASE

Thread Thread Thread! We need more!

My pregnancy complaint of the day: My underwear aren't comfortable anymore. It's not the size, it's where the lace trim is attached. It feels SOOOO itchy and has been driving my crazy. Unfortunately, I own about 20 pairs of this style, and no other types (because they WERE the best ever). I'm at a total loss, I don't want to spend money on new underwear, wah!

So umm, comfy undies suggestions?

[beefinch]

blabbermouth seamless undies?

I have a couple pairs do seamless ones, literally don't even feel like I'm wearing anything.

And I'm all for the big 'ol undies. 'Granny pants' is what DH calls them but after having DS I just find them so comfy

[grumpycat88]

Ahhhh mosquitos are out. Damn it! I killed one and ran in the house. Still got a couple bites I hate hate hate mosquitos.

@iheartmyshiba, your dog and I are wearing the same expression as we gaze longingly at your mug.

It's the whipped cream. He loooooves whipped cream.

My dog understands the concept of catching whipped cream out the can. Freaking goes bonkers when we have it.

I like Hanes x-temp hipsters. I'm not sure why they're called that - maybe they're made for people who work out or have sweaty asses? But I like them and I'm super picky with my underwear comfort. They're cheap too.

Otherwise I saw some maternity underwear at motherhood maternity when I was shopping for a dress. They were 5/$25 and they've gotta be comfortable if they're made for preggos.

[grumpycat88]

blabbermouth motherhood maternity undies are good. I like the hipsters. Full coverage on your bum and sit under your bump.

[blabbermouth]

Good point @iheartmyshiba, I could probably use different ones for under dresses compared to with pants!

Thanks for the specific suggestions pootsen, and grumpycat88! I wasn't sure if I necessarily needed mat undies, but I suppose if I'm buying anyway, I might as well go specific.

It my baby boys 2nd birthday today 💙



Looking through his newborn pictures makes me SO excited to have a newborn squishy again in 5 months or whatever. Had a dream last night about having them, it was a girl. Cuddled them for hours

[cnf2013]

Happy birthday little Bee!!

[fknhostile]

Happy birthday to your son beefinch!

[theiowagirl]

Happy 2nd Birthday to your babe beefinch 🎉🎉

They are talking severe pop up weather all afternoon here. I love a good thunderstorm, but the pop up, unstable severe stuff scares the hell out of me. I feel like I need an adult. And my husband will be in the hog shed...so basically unreachable to warn unless I load toddler and drive down there. I'm aware this makes me sound like a 10 year old - but why must we have tornados?!

[Deleted]

Happy birthday, baby beefinch!!!

[laurensc927]

Happy birthday baby beefinch!

happy birthday week @annperkins!

[cnf2013]

The joys of being a traveling teacher; bag of babies! Fetal development lesson, and go.

[peggels24]

beefinch, Happy Birthday to your soon! And you said 5 months or so and I was like "Damn!!! That's not that far away"

[blabbermouth]

beefinch, happy bday to your kiddo!

theiowagirl, I'm sorry there's a risk of tornadoes today, that's something we don't worry about on the west coast, but they seem scary for sure! I hope nothing major happens.

cnf2013, that is hilarious!

peggels24, my app says 25 weeks, like... WHAT?!

Went for my second blood test today, so now I will await the results for Downs/Trisomy odds....

Possible FFWC but the maternity undies from Motherhood are my absolute favorite undies.  I have been wearing them since I was pregnant with DS...2 years ago.  No VPL and super comfy, can't even feel them.  I think mine might be Jessica Simpson brand but whatever they are, I love them.  And I get the hipster cut I believe.  I will be stocking up again soon since you can imagine my two year old stash is looking a little rough.

PSA There is a new stickied thread at the top of the page, "state of the forum/website" ... it's quite lengthy but essentially users were wondering about where the forum/website status was and asking admin (of TCF not this BMB) some questions. There's some concerns about users drifting away and how the admin plan on getting new users/keeping old ones. Also, initially it was stated that TCF would be developed into a website with content, quizzes, etc. If this is of interest to you, just a FYI. I've been here (off and on) since the exodus so I read through it, but for those who ignore the stickied threads and may be wondering "what are we doing from here?" check it out.

Just want to make sure that everyone who is interested has an opportunity to weigh in.

Happy birthday little bee beefinch !!
