I can throw football no problem, but I totally throw a softball/baseball "like a girl".
My mom taught her daughters not to throw "like girls." Lol I am by no means sporty, but I've got a good, pretty decent arm on me.
One of J's sons was throwing a football with J and I picked it up and launched it right back at him. Perfect spiral and everything. I think I surprised everyone.
I felt like I should have ditched the monitor ages ago. Then I discovered even with the monitor I was sometimes sleeping through DD waking up.
I still use a monitor in K's room. (She'll be 5 next month) I like to see what shenanigans she's up to when she's in there during "quiet time".
J laughs at me when he asks when I'm taking the monitor out and I say never! Haha but that exact reason- when she's in a big girl bed, I want to know what she's up to.
I had a scheduled c section. I was 10 days past my due date and wasn't showing any signs of getting closer and B had a huge head. I don't feel one bit bad about it and if we have another I won't try for a vbac.
I had an elective scheduled c-section. I knew from going through nursing school I never wanted a vaginal birth. And I don't regret it one bit.

I a big part of me thinks that would have been way better than the awful labor/ delivery I had, but as bad as it was I was hiking when DD was 12 days old. I like the idea of a scheduled c-section because it is controlled and orderly, but I don't think I would like the downtime.
Meh. I was 5th row at a concert 15 days after I had M. I didn't have much downtime. You really recover faster if you don't take extra downtime.

I really should be obese the way I look at and devour food. I always tell J I get such a satisfaction from eating. I love to eat! I love food. And I eat like it too. I have no problems shoving my face full of food in front of anyone lol. It's funny to see the people who just "know" I never touch food change their attitudes as I'm chowing on a burger and fries.

I have a scheduled c-section for this pregnancy and people keep asking if I would prefer a vaginal birth (well they say normal birth). My answer is something along the lines of with having GD I just want this baby out safely and R was almost 2 weeks past his due date. The truth is I'm scared of the recovery of a vaginal birth, my c-section recovery seemed so easy, I'm hoping for the same this time.

- I routinely feel embarrassed by how much I eat because I have had family members and strangers comment on it. I have a lot of body image issues because of it. I have reached an age where I know better and it doesn't stop me (and I love cake SO MUCH), but I think about it almost every time. Being pregnant makes it worse.
- I guess I was technically induced with a Foley bulb after my water had broken and I wasn't progressing. melohdy I think your strategy of being honest with your DH is important and I hate hate hate that his superiors aren't advocating for him. My DH is starting a new job and although he can be there for the delivery, won't be there for the days after. It is a shitty feeling.
- I unfollow people who post about beauty products, or hide those posts, because I am allergic to everything and only buy a few specific beauty items that won't give me rashes. I unfollow people all the time, actually, but almost never unfriend. I have a couple of acquaintances who are incredibly negative and the constant hatorade was bringing me down.

I tidy up hotel rooms before I check out. I feel like this is strange. Like, I empty the coffee filter and wipe down the bathroom counters and make sure the ironing board is put away.
My c-section was horrible, my recovery was horrible and the suggestion that I must not have done the right things then makes me want to beat things with sticks.
People who deleted my friendship on FB.... You are missing out on my incredible videos. When I'm famous I won't remember you.
I love your videos! I think the big difference is that you put then in your group. So if I didn't want to see them, I could leave the group without unfriending you.

Wait do people actually suggest this? That would make me ragey. Other than the fact that most people told me the drugs were good and I should have taken them no one gave me flack.
My first emergency c section was after 27 hrs of labour and pushing for 4 hrs. That recovery was pure hell. I still cringe over I how I left after it 4 years later.
My 2nd "emergency" c section was just straight to the operation room. No labour. No checking to even see I was in labour it was just get the kid out. That recovery was awesome. I was up and walking within a day. I was picking Travis up by the end of the week.
Yes I had my Inlaws and parents to help me. But I did not have my H there for the birth. He wasn't there until Colt was 2 months old
+1 my mouth was agape when I read it. It would never ever occur to me that anyone else would pay attention to what's on my plate/how much I did or didn't eat. The only person I judge for such things is my 400+lb aunt.
I haven't read all the words, but I'll flame this. Do you like your aunt otherwise? What difference does it make if she eats when she's hungry at a social event? Is it stopping you from eating (i.e. is she eating your food too?)? What difference does her weight make to whether she's hungry or not?
FYI... THIS is the reason I don't eat at social events... because I don't want people to think "oh, the fatty is eating all the food!! OMGWTFBBQ!"
ETA: vitafelix I still love you, and I'm pretty sure your comment just didn't come across well (or there's more to the story) but someone who weights 400 pounds probably has a lot more issues than someone judging them for eating, but I did want to make you aware that is the thinking that makes people not want to eat in front of others.
This rubbed me the wrong way, too. I just wasn't brave enough to say anything yesterday. I also think / hope that vitafelix didn't mean it the way it was said.

+mcbush Thanks for calling me out on it! Yes, there's more to the story! She is constantly talking about her fad diets and telling my mom (also obese, but not anywhere near as much) what she should and shouldn't be eating. She once told my mom that people with her blood type shouldn't eat ketchup. She was serious. She has other health issues, and perhaps even others that I don't know about, but she's also kind of just a hypocritical judgey-mcjudgerson. So, I judge her when minutes after telling my mom that she shouldn't eat ketchup if she wants to lose weight, she cuts the birthday cake into 5"x5" squares and insists on having the corner piece with all the frosting flowers.
I also kind of judge my mom for taking my aunt seriously when she tries to give her dieting advice. But that's a completely different issue...
So...TL;DR: if you are simultaneously talking about how hard it is for you to lose weight and demanding a corner (5"x5") piece of cake with all the frosting flowers, I might judge you. If you do them independently, I'm totally fine with either one. Even if you're 400 pounds.
