Oh ladies, I've missed you!!! This weekend was chaos, soooo many people randomly deciding to visit. We had people here from 9:30 am-9 pm tonight, and I'm exhausted. All of that time spent nesting?! I have to totally clean my house again.
I hate that! I feel like we are never caught up. Hopefully you were able to rest some!
Oh guys. This probably belongs in a TMI thread but...idk what is going on with my body. ha. My stitches down under are healing so they itch like wounds do when they heal. My one boob keeps having the sharp pain and I don't know if it bc it is full or if I should contact my doctor, or which doctor would I contact? I know it isn't full bc it hurts after I pump too. Maybe I am just tired. zzzzz...
I'd probably ask a lactation consultant? Sometimes they are most helpful with all things boob.

if you palpate your breastfed do you feel a know or lump anywhere? Could be a clogged duct. They can be very painful. And you'll want to try to unclog it.
@jemomma when I was lurking the May board I noted them discussing a slew of different products, including that one. Thank you, but no thank you.
How did I just get the memo that Kim K is pregnant again? I guess it was just revealed last night. I was really feeling for her regarding her fertility struggles. I am looking forward to more cray cray maternity outfits and other shenanigans from her.
Anyone to the point of trying anything to get things going yet? All of these June baby announcements are making me so jealous that I am still a giant pregnant blob, lol.
Hadn't heard of them I don't think but looking at the ingredients the cayenne peppers is a huge no for me. I just imagine they'd make me feel miserable and not actually put me in labor!

Semi related, as it involves Kim K, but I saw the clip of their car accident and her yelling that she didn't have her seat belt on. I guess it was my hormones, but this made me SO FREAKING MAD. You have a daughter that needs you (and I think that was even in the car--wasn't there a car seat beside her?) and your dumb ass is riding in the car with no seat belt on?? And I think it was even icy/snowing? I MEAN C'MON!
As awful as it is, my DH refuses to wear his seatbelt, ever. He is like that way because of his parents. I've tried reasoning with him over the years, and you would think since he has one kid, soon to be two, he would care more, but no.
ETA: I have also explained to him that his body flying through the air would also be a danger to myself and his kids, not just him.
I'd like to propose the idea that we unpin the 3 polls about labor. There are currently 6 pins and its a bit much. Perhaps we could repin them in July when hopefully almost everyone has their outside babies. That way we can still get all the stats for those interested? In the mean time we can each gather info as birth announcements and birth stories come across.
I use mobile (Tapatalk) 95% of the time, so the pinning is no hassle to me at all because it is grouped together under Stickies and I don't have to scroll past them. However, I do understand that it would take up a lot of room for those that don't use Tapatalk. I don't care one way or another if it stays pinned or not. I also think some people might enjoy adding their votes to the polls rather than making a separate post on the announcement thread, just because it takes less time, but that has nothing to do with the pinning part - it just might be easier to find if its pinned.
TL;DR I don't care either way about pinning, but I do hope the threads stay because people seem to be using them and viewing them.
I don't care either way about the labor polls being pinned. I'd like to see the results of them eventually, so I hope they are not completely ignored.
Now back to Kardashian news...
ETA: Resize, plus add that she looks a lot better than I expected, but I am disappointed with her name choice.
I just can't believe she didn't go with the "K" theme. Hellooooo if you want to be a Kardashian/Jenner headliner, you've got to rock the K name.
Side note: I hope I look that good when I'm like...what, 60 years old?
I agree, she could've easily spelled Caitlyn with a "K." Or go with a name similar to Bruce? Betty/Beatrice? I don't know, but she looks way better than I would have anticipated.
And Kim K is pregnant with her second child. I'm just confused..if she announced it on KUWTK which was filmed months ago, why was she going on the Today Show recently speaking of infertility and surrogacy? I just find the timing odd, but of course am happy for as no one should have to deal with infertility..

I cannot STAND the Kardashian clan and may have grunted out loud at the announcement of her pregnancy.
I think Caitlyn looks better than I thought she would as well. That is either a really nicely photo shopped photograph or one hell of a plastic surgeon!
Caitlyn is gorgeous! I'm beyond happy for her. As much as I can't freakin' stand the Kardashians, I absolutely love how openly supportive they've been. After the photos were posted, their re-posts and comments were so sweet.
She does look lovely. And I'm happy that this dropped on the same day as Kimye's pregnancy because everyone in my news feed has been focused on Caitlyn instead.
It is amazing ho much happier she looks in those photos than any other picture I have ever seen of Bruce Jenner. Good for her!
She really does look amazing!! And so relaxed! I've seen a few posts from people that are saying she is now the prettiest of all of the Kardashians... I would have to agree!!
I get so giddy everytime I see a new post notification next to the announcement thread. It's so fun to see who just had their little baby! It's especially fun when it's someone that has been posting about maybe being in early labor. Yay babies!!!
So I love Target. Like, a lot. But this last time I ordered from them online (through my registry), I have had so many issues.
First, they of course divided my order up when it was preparing to ship. Happens quite often. Sort of annoying, but whatever. So maybe a week after I order, I receive 2 of the items (a shirt and a bra). I notice that my other package hasn't shown any progress tracking it in a few days.
A few days later, my husband (I ordered through his email account) gets an email saying they are reshipping my order as I requested (which I later notice shows one less A and D than what I ordered) and that I have so many days to return my received items. It lists them all, even though I only received 2 things. So I'm like WTF I never requested this and don't even have all the items. Plus, I had already taken tags off and worn the clothing items.
So I call customer service and explain the problem to her. She says the order showed up somewhere else by mistake, and whoever received it must have called to report it and Target had them ship the items back. The email DH received was automatically generated, and we didn't have to worry about sending anything back (or the two items I received) because the other people sent it back. She was aware I received part of my order (the clothing items)- Ok, kind of a pain, but at least I didn't have to do anything on my end. But now the rest of my order was taking that much longer to come. It's been like 2 weeks at this point.
2-3 days later, a small package arrives. I'm like hmmm, this seems too small. I open it and it's a duplicate bra and shirt. Seriously? Super annoyed. And nothing of what I was still missing. I wasn't charged for it though.
Then yesterday, a bigger box comes and I'm assuming that's the rest. I figure I am also missing an A and D too, that I was charged for, so I'm thinking I will have to call and complain about that. I open it and it is the rest of my order. Only one diaper cream,, so I roll my eyes. Then I notice an extra a&A burp cloth. Again....seriously?! Wasn't charged for it, so another mistake on their part.
So now I'm like, what do I do? I'm annoyed that the entire process took over 3 weeks. I essentially received 3 items (shirt, bra, burp cloth) that I wasn't charged for. If I return it all, will I get all that $$ credited back even though I didn't pay for it? Would that be terrible of me? But I'm so annoyed. I'm going to triple check to make sure I wasn't charged for it, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't. I could use the extra burp cloth, but the same EXACT maternity shirt - no. And a duplicate nursing bra? Not really.
Thoughts?
TL;DR Target screwed up my order a million times and sent me duplicates on mistake that I am tempted to keep or return and pocket the money. What to do?

I would just return the maternity shirt and nursing bra like you said. I buy a lot of stuff from Target and breaking up the orders like that is not unusual (Amazon does the same thing), but I agree some of their stuff does take forever to ship.
I have to wait until I can get to a computer to post my birth story . I had the whole thing written out and tapatalk wouldn't let me post it!!!!
I will get to a computer. Long story short I hemorrhaged and they couldn't get it under control for the two hours they tryed. (By basically punching my stomach and shoving hands up inside me to scoop out the clots. I lost way to much blood and was in so much agony (completely med free) that I started passing out. They scared DH by saying to talk to me and keep me awake. And that if they didn't get it under control to prepare for the worst possibility. Finally an actual OB showed up and sent me to the OR to first try a D&C and if that didn't work then a hysterectomy. Thank God it worked. The whole time i was having it done they still hadn't told him anything. I was gone for three hours and he was thinking the worst. They put a balloon in my uterus the size of a football to help stop the bleeding. It was horribly painful. There is way more to the story but that is basically the jist. Let me just say that I have never experienced such pain in my life. And have never screamed like that before. I imagine that is a scream that would happen if someone were killing you in the most painful way. My voice is pretty much gone after screaming like that for almost two hours. They said I was lucky to be alive. After the balloon and four blood transfusions later I started healing really well. I would have had to stay there longer but DDs nurse couldn't stay any longer and she wasn't doing well without me. I am taking a lot of iron and resting but just got home a few hours ago. My legs and feet are so swollen from all the iv fluids but I am doing ok pain wise now. Baby Abby is doing great and we are trying to get the hand of breast feeding. I will work on a more complete birth story when I can get to a computer and get DH to talk more about it. He has a hard time saying anything without getting emotional. But that is basically what happened.
Here are a few pictures after recovery time and before we came home.
ETA that was kind of long so the short version doesn't really apply! Sorry!!

maddib I'm so happy to hear you are home safe and well! I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, though! How terrifying! Abby is beautiful - congratulations!

Thank you! It was pretty rough but so worth it! Even more so as I watch DH with her. He is totally in love and can't get enough. Singing to her and changing all the diapers. He can hardly put her down ! Lol
