I join all you ladies in the still fat deparent. I've been trying extremely hard to eat healthy but I had to take a break from working out to paint our basement that we had finished. Now I have that done, on accent wall and an extra bedroom that isn't high on my priority list I started working out again.
I've spent the past week shopping for work clothes since I don't fit into anything that I was able to wear prepregnancy. I know that part of it is that I really need to tighten up the diet and start exercising again, but it's really difficult not to be too hard on myself for not losing weight as quickly as I had wanted to.
I finally went out to try on jeans the other day. I expected and was mentally prepared to be two sizes bigger, but it ended up being three! I almost threw up, but I had to suck it up and buy them so I don't have to wear maternity pants to work.
I wind up with a saggy ass when I try to wear my maternity jeans. I need to go buy new jeans as well. I only have 1 pair that fit me right now.
I have a city mini too! We haven't tried using just the stroller yet. We ended up getting the adapter for our carseat (chicco keyfit) and I didn't want to disassemble it yet, it's just easier to snap the carseat in right now.
I bought our stroller and threw out the box before I realized they don't make a car seat adapter for our peg perego 5-35 infant car seat so the only way we can use it this early is to just have her lay flat in it. I love our city mini though. I think I like it more then our previous stroller which is a BOB.
Don't let her judge you for letting your kids have some juice. Especially since you're mixing it with water. Cookies and cupcakes on a regular basis is far worse.
I want to get a jogger eventually- I'll look into the city mini, thanks for the idea!

I tried on two pairs of jeans at Kohl's today and one pair was too big and one was too small. Pants suck right now. I did have one pair I found at old navy in a bigger size that I wore out last night and I thought I looked cute but ugh I saw a picture and hated it. I need to work out.
Speaking of, kohl's has $10 off a $30 baby purchase. My mom bought even more stuff for LO which now officially means I have no idea where to put all of it!

shahoi I don't understand why the butt gets so saggy but I have the same problem, hence the new pants.
I started doing ballet beautiful a couple of weeks ago, but I sure as shit didn't have a "ballet body" to start with, even during my 14 years of childhood ballet. I would settle for a tummy and legs that are quasi recognizable as my own.
I tried on my work pants last week and will be shopping to replace them all this week. Yay shopping, boo nothing fitting. Technically my county has no dress code for teachers so I could wear yoga pants every day. Last year I wore maternity jeans almost every day and I miss dressing professionally.

what's ballet beautiful?
Workout video, basically, but she has a whole empire of classes, videos, ballet outfits, etc. There is a postnatal one on her website for like 13 dollars, but I am doing the "classic" because I was able to order it on demand from Comcast. Balletbeautiful.com
My sneaky baby just rolled from back to front for the first time while I wasn't looking! He was playing on his activity mat next to me while I was grading, and then I looked up and he had almost rolled off of it!
Eta: reason 572737399 why I want to quit my job...ugh.

Yay for the rolling! Boo that you missed it!! It's such an exciting moment! I actually caught O's first (and only) time rolling on video! But that was like a month ago and nothing sense. I think it was a fluke.
I'm feeling some judgement lately by sister in law and MIL for letting DS drink juice. He basically does 1/2 water 1/2 juice. I guess it's not recommended anymore by doctors. But then my sister in law who is a doctor tells us not to and then feeds her kids cupcakes and cookies when they want them which we don't do. We only do for special occasions. I want to tell her mind your own business what my kid drinks!
Feck anyone who wants to judge what you allow your kids to eat & drink.

Do you have the 4-35? Or is there a 5-35? They have an adapter for the 4-35...but only for the single, not sure if you have the single or the double. But if LO is fine in just the stroller, it would probably be a waste to get the adapter now.

Uhhh...someone on FB posted pictures with the caption that she drove up with the driveway with her baby. The baby is on her lap in the car in the pictures, but I am not sure that she did it with the baby in her lap or with the baby in her car seat. It concerns me that I am not sure which it is............

One of my BFFs had a baby girl today!! (after being team green).
I'm the first of my absolute closest girlfriends to have kids, so her getting pregnant was already special new bonding for us and I was so excited to be able to start 'momming' with her, and the fact that they are both baby girls just 3 months apart is even more special! Ahh I am so happy!!! She has been one of my best friends since elementary!
There's a random girl on Facebook who posted today and mentioned that her 4.5 month old daughter drinks 11oz of breastmilk in a bottle at one time. Does that seem absolutely insane or am I just being judgy? LO eats like 3 oz at a time so 11 seems INSANE.
So much hair. 8 hair cuts and a color. A day in a salon sees more business than that, but I am way out of practice. So glad to be home though. I hate staying away from home anymore.

Good God, Little P was a handful today! She gets so tired she refuses to feed, finally falls asleep after much pacing then wakes after a cat nap as angry as a bear. I've even resorted to taking a drive around the neighborhood to get her to sleep after much screaming. She isn't a crier so it's really unlike her. Not looking forward to tonight, I feel like it will continue. Coincides with my efforts to start trying 'drowsy but awake' to try and teach her to self-settle. Not ideal! That's out the window for now...

Extremely unlikely. If it's true maybe it's immediately before going to bed, unlikely to be all day long.

Z will over feed some from a bottle (5oz instead of 3), but not that much!

Wow, seems like a lot to me too! Along the same lines, a girl on fb posted that her babe is now up to 6oz per bottle as an 8 week old. Mines still doing 2.5 to 3oz of bm when we do bottles.

Im feeling like quite the accomplished version of myself this evening. I made dinner, actually ATE dinner, bathed my child, and have her just about rocked asleep now at 8:30! I know it doesn't sound like much for most people but I need to celebrate small victories around here! Now if I could xerox this evening for future use lol...

No small victory there, getting dinner cooked around here is proof that miracles still happen.
All I want to do is vacuum my house and eat chocolate. Is that too much to ask?
