I was putting lotion on sometimes 4 times a day and I drink a min of 80 oz of water and my skin was still cracking. I wash the important bits with a wash cloth but this is me too.
Before pregnancy I could get away with this...
But... um... I am.................. ripe......... and need to shower daily. It's mostly my crotch and arm pits, but there is no way I could go multiple days without showering.
Pregnancy is weird. I could never do this before pregnancy but I'm less... ripe... now than before I guess. I will be shaving that happy trail next time though. I really want to go back to the bad place and be like "Guise! I have this weird hair growth and havent showered since Wednesday. Is this okay?"
I don't own a phone that can take pictures or access the Internet. And I'm OK with that.
I don't understand what you're saying
Is it a flip phone?
No, it's a prepaid phone from Target. Every 3 months I buy a card and add minutes and airtime. My phone can call and text, but that's it. It's the most basic phone ever.
I hate everything about cow's milk, especially the smell. I made a half hearted attempt a few times to get DS to drink it, but after spitting out one sip, I didn't push it. But I tried, right? Right?? Yeah, I just don't want to buy milk and I don't want to smell it on his breath. *vomit* We do whole milk yogurt and cheese instead, and he was BF for over 2.5 years.
I don't understand why a child would need milk past 2.5 anyways. As long as you're giving him the appropriate nutrients I don't see the problem.
I confess that I don't plan on giving my child cows milk at any age.
We have a candy jar at the front desk at work and my cravings have resulted in me sneaking into the closet where the BAGS of candy are stored to take a bunch all at one time so the receptionist doesn't get all judge-y on me when she see's me walking away with 5 bite sized butterfingers.

I have always been a "shower everyday" girl. Yesterday, since I was sick, I didn't shower until early evening. I was sitting on the couch talking to DH and I put one arm and one leg up on the couch. The smell from either my armpit or my crotch was disgusting, and I got up right away to shower.
I doubt I'll get flamed for this but some of you will probably laugh..
I have a blanket that I sleep with. I don't use it as a blanket but more like a pillow. I don't HAVE to sleep with it, but it's harder to sleep without it. I've had it since I was a kid.

I sleep with a stuffed animal No judgement or laughter from me! It's just way more comfortable to have something to cuddle in my arms, otherwise I don't know what to do with them. Oddly enough, it's a habit I developed when I was like 24 so it's not even from my childhood.
my DH wants me to call around to get a few price quotes from some independent contractors for some possible tile work at our condo.
I loathe calling people I don't know, so I've already FB messaged one of them because we have a mutual friend and he has a business page on there.
I convinced him to talk to one of the other ones tomorrow, so I didn't have to call. So I only have one uncomfortable phone call left.
I'm the same way. Calling to make appointments and stuff is something I have to prepare myself for. Or calling about a billing issue or anything. Ill usually avoid it for as looong as I possibly can, try jt make DH do it, and then finally get the balls to do it myself. And it's never that bad anyway! Haha.
and thankfully he called to say he changed his mind so I'm glad I only messaged the one!

Me too. I have always had one that I curl up with under my head. DS does the same thing.
My problem now is - that half of it is missing, so it's just batting. It rips every.single.night. DH keeps saying he is going to burn it.
I know that I'm 31 years old...but I'm making myself another one. Yes, I'm making myself a blankey. I feel better about admitting it, haha.

I DO TOO! My DH thinks I'm crazy cakes. My grandma made me a blankie when I was a kid, then my mom made me a new one as a teen so that the one my grandma made wouldn't disintegrate into nothing.
Mine is more of an UO but I've got nothing else today - I think it's weird to go see 50 Shades in the theater. Why would you want to get all hot and bothered in a room full of strangers? I read the first book and it was somewhat entertaining and I have nothing against the movie itself but if I'm gonna watch it, I wanna be home in bed with DH.
Along this same theme, my FFFC is that I didn't care for the book (50 Shades of Gray) at all. After all the hype I was looking forward to reading it our of curiosity alone figuring surely all of these thousands of women couldn't be wrong....nope. I made it through the first one and didn't bother to even pick up the rest of the series. It wasn't the content or subject that turned me off, it was just about everything else. Forgive me for sounding like a book-snob here, but I just found the writing to be lame and the story-line to be yawningly predictable.

I am side-eyeing my friend's shower this weekend. First off the evites called it a "champagne brunch", which seems weird to me for a baby shower, but okay whatever. Then the latest email update today was all about the diaper raffle. And when I looked at their registries last night they had over 300 items on them. Including things like 5 different baby carriers. And I'm not at all sad that it's on other side of the country and I can't go.

I really want to look at someone else's registry now. Being a quilter, I normally don't even look at the registry, just ask what kind of quilt they want. Now I'm wondering if I did mine right, or if someone will side-eye mine.

Possibly, but honestly, as long as you're not being rude or tacky, who cares? I side-eye a lot of things, but particularly from these people. They are very side-eye worthy in so many ways. But I'm sure they wouldn't care if they knew and I wouldn't care if the reverse were true.
ETA: But yeah, maybe not 5 baby carriers and 6 diaper bags.

I assume as long as you don't have 5 baby carriers or only items that are $$$ no one is gonna side-eye you!
My BFF mentioned I don't have big things on my registry, but idk. I have the stroller/car seat/pump on the registry. My crib is a loaner, and I won't use a changing table. Already bought our recliner. I don't think I'm missing anything. But her comment sent me into a mini panic mode, lol.

I sleep with a blanket as well. And I registered for the same blanket for my child so that he & I can use matching blankets DH side-eyed me majorly for that one
I think it is cute. DH and I have been having a discussion back and forth for years because he said if we had a boy they couldn't have a blankie. Which I completely disagreed with. Finally with this pregnancy he gave in, I told him it could be camo or something. But, alas we are having a girl, so it is a moot point.
or something similar with just a straw? Maybe she will find it easier and you can skip sippys all together. I wish I went straight to these, they are inexpensive and DD loves them.
We switched DD at 13 months, after a myriad of fancy no spill cups, which she hatesd, turns out the cheap take n toss ones were the winners, no straws, but it took 5 solid days of her asking for bottles and barely drinking out of her cup to realize the bottles were gone forever. It's hard but I say give it a try now, and as soon as you stick to your guns she will drink it of the cup, she can do it!
(Ps Id try for sooner then later since bottles are going to be reappearing in the house likely soon!)
Thanks! Today she has been a whiney mess because I won't give her a bottle. I just got the thinkBaby cup yesterday and she won't even try it. I should try the cheap toss cups I have tonight and see what happens. They don't have lids or straws though...

shmee I sleep with a stuffed animal! I sleep so much more comfortably when I have something tucked underneath my chin, sort of holding my head up.

I think she means these take and toss cups? They are the only sippy DS will use.
For all the bitching I did on TB about others' baby showers, my FFFC is that I am having a baby shower held for me and this is my second child. In my defense! I didn't ask for it and I did decline! My SIL and sister are joint throwing it (I think? I really hope they aren't each throwing me one) and wouldn't take no for an answer. DH's family will use any excuse to have a party. I asked them to keep it coed, because it's my husband's first biological child. The only other input I had on it is that I want 0 attention on me because I felt uncomfortable having a 2nd shower. I don't know what to do about our registry. We have an Amazon registry just to keep track of what we want/need to buy and to get a completion coupon. We have the money to provide for our own child, otherwise we wouldn't have decided to make him. I feel kind of uncomfortable releasing the list to guests and basically asking them to buy for us. First world problem, I know.
Mine is that I really wish I was having a second shower. I'm having twins this time, so I need to buy a lot of things that I already have one of, but now need two/different versions. My mom and my sister wanted to throw me one but I told them about etiquette rules and that I didn't feel comfortable. They accepted my answer, but I secretly wish they were throwing me a surprise one or something.
I know people will bring gifts after the babies are born, but I really don't need clothes or toys. I know that makes me seem selfish, but I guess that's why it's a confession :-)
viola & shmee - my BFF is a blanky girl so you aren't alone. She uses it as more of an eyeshade/mask kind of thing though....but she refs to it as her "wub" as in "woobie." Not gonna lie, I make fun of her shamelessly for the name alone.
@gfj48 - for what it's worth, have you tried taking your prenatals with food instead of with a beverage? I can't take large pills or vitamins with a drink because I can definitely still taste the chalkiness or whatever and it grosses me out fully. I just make sure to take them with food so that I can swallow them along with whatever I've chewed up instead (TMI?). Could that help at all if gummies don't work?

I'm expecting the side eye from SIL and my cousin. I've been getting a lot of "You don't need that, you can use my old ________". Which I know they are being sweet, but they also think worrying about expired carseats and drop side cribs are silly.

Right, I figured those were my other option vs the straw version. I already have these that I may try tonight and just use a disposable straw.

I hate showers. I like to take baths but I prefer to do them at night. Sometimes I sit around after working out longer than I'd like to admit because afternoon baths suck.

I was told the writing was terrible but the sex scenes were good... I knew I could never get past the terrible writing long enough to even enjoy the smut. That paired with the nugget that 50 Shades is Twilight (another awful series) fanfic cemented that I would never read 50 shades... Or see the movie (purely to not support the terrible writing leading to the movie). I'm such a book snob.

I love taking baths but I always have to shower after, which is just a lot of extra work so I rarely take them.
