xoxolicia I have been craving cigarettes hardcore lately. I have given in, but only a few times. It is worse when we stay home. I think that's why I want to go places so much. It keeps me busy enough to keep my mind off cravings.
I've been home too. Maybe that's why. I feel crazy. With my heart condition, the last thing I need to do is start smoking again. I'm so glad I'm not alone. I need to find a way to keep my mind off of it. Stay strong sister!

xoxolicia, I've had STRONG cravings for cigs lately, and no one around me smokes. I kept on waiting for smoke to smell bad ... Like everyone said it would. I smell smoke at a stop light and I take a deep breath. It's sad, I know. I couldn't handle it if someone close to me smoked--I see someone smoking on TV and it triggers a craving. I have no advice... Just know you aren't alone!

Omg tv... Don't watch Mad Men. I nearly died. How could this come back now? Its been over a year!
Ps. I've given in a few times since birth. Like 20 times But since I finished that pack I haven't bought another. mmarie, xoxolicia,
Stay strong! I did buy a pack but my mom holds onto it for me. I bought it a month ago and have had like 5 or 6. no one around me smokes either except my sister but I hardly ever see her.

I'm not a smoker but stay strong ladies! Do it for your kids. My husband's parents smoked all his life and he and his brother tried to get them to quit many times. His mom was diagnosed with lung cancer last summer and she blamed herself for not stopping sooner (she's 65 now and they both quit after the diagnosis, but they smoked for 40+ years). You've made it a year, you can keep going! Take one day at a time. Good luck ladies.

Anyone have suggestions where I can get decent non-underwire bras? Tried to find some at kohls but was hard to find any in my size. And i prefer underwire but the breastfeeding class I took before he was born said underwire can cause clogged ducts. True? Because I really miss my underwire bras.

Thanks. I know, I see all those commercials with people that have lost limbs and stuff from smoking and being a nurse I know that I really shouldn't. It makes me cry when I think that my daughter could grow up without me for something that I have total control over (even though it seems to have control over me most of the time. But that's addiction)

its also hard to find my size but I have had decent luck at target. I also just wear a lot of sports bras which I think is also not very good for breastfeeding. Sorry I'm not much help!

Addiction indeed. I cry every time I think about what could happen to me if I started smoking again. I should call my cardiologist and see what he suggests. life is hard, yo.

I'm pretty well endowed in the chest so I went to Nordstrom to make sure I was getting properly fitting nursing bras and I did get a few with underwire which I wear to work. It would just feel super weird to not have a "real" bra on. I have only had one issue with a clogged duct so far.
Ladies who are struggling with smoking, you can do it!
I have a few no-underwire bras from motherhood maternity that are very comfortable. They are definitely more sleeping and lounging bras than out of the house bras, though.
Dd is asleep, no swaddle, took all her naps successfully without a swaddle. Dh is stuck in traffic but as soon as he gets home I am going out shopping for bday presents for my mom and nephew. I am weirdly excited to go out by myself and not have to worry about the diaper bag, naps and bottles. Also excited to be alone for a little bit!

I second the Cake bras. I got two from Nordstrom and they are great. I had an issue with the hook pulling off with one of them, but Nordstrom replaced no problem (2 months later).

I've heard that but I've worn one since I came home and no issue v

I've been a little MIA today, so I am trying to catch up. Ladies who are craving cigs, I know it sucks but you can get through this. I quit in my early 20s when I started to sound like an old woman hacking up a lung.
@holachica, Happy anniversary! WittyLittle, Good luck on sleep training.
Today was interesting. I took DD to see Minions. The theater was rather full, so when we sat down there was a kid near us with his feet stuck through the openings between the seats. I made sure we sat a few seats down from him. Well, the rest of the brood came up after we sat down behind me and the movie started. The mom had a child around the age of 2 with her. The kid was way too young to be in a movie because she didn't understand the concept of sitting quietly in the theater. The LO shook my chair, talked loudly, ran along the row until mom gave LO her cell phone to watch Little Einsteins videos without headphones. I was ready to lose it. Mom took the child up and down the aisles so many times. It was ridiculous. The final straw was when mom brought LO back to her seat with candy. The kid settled for awhile, but I felt something hit the top of my head. I reached up and found a half-chewed piece of candy in my hair. I was so pissed. I think the mom knew and finally took the child to the lobby.
Vacation is officially over Back to work in the morning at 5:30am :thumbdown:
LO came down with something on vacation; gunky eyes and nose, hoarse voice and coughing. It's his first time ever being sick. Pedi put him on steroids to knock out a possible ear infection and to get rid of all the congestion. He wasn't comfortable putting him on antibiotics at 5 months old. I just hope it gets him able to breathe again! Poor guy can't eat without either gagging or popping off to gasp for air. DH, SS and I all are dealing with scratchy throats and some congestion also. I'm guessing the temperature change from Oklahoma to Montana did us in.
Other than that, no spam. Just exhausted and wishing I had an extra day to recover from vacation! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
