+1.  My last BMB there were definitely already a few by this point.  

I just did 2U2 so it's going to be quite some time for us... I need to live vicariously through someone else.  Being a newborn photographer is the worst job ever. I'm going to want 10 kids. 

If I was 10 years younger I would totally have two more.  Hate pregnancy.  Love the end result.  But we're done here.

I must be the only weirdo who really loves being pregnant. Fwiw, I've only done it the one time, but I loved it. I loved the belly and eating all the food and the attention. Which is weird for me because I generally don't like being the center of attention and I definitely have body issues from prepregnancy days. I mean, I love having a baby and all, but I can't imagine trying to wrangle him and a newborn at the same time. Jude is really high energy...happy and hilarious, but exhausting.

Hi ladies! Happy NYE!!!

My husband is working tonight, so C is my date. We're going to dinner with my parents and I hope to be home by 8 so bedtime isn't terrible. Then it's champagne and catching up on my DVR for me. I doubt I will see midnight.

So, last night I met up with a new "mom" friend and her son for a dinner play date. Her son is almost 1 year old. We met in an outside venue to have dinner at a restaurant that is primarily outdoors. (she knew all of this in advance). We met at 5. At 5 pm it was 60 degrees. But the time we were done with dinner, it was in the low 50's. She had her son dressed in a short sleeve onesie, sweat pants and no socks. I was trying not to judge too hard, but I felt so bad for him. The bottoms of his feet were SO cold. I had C dressed in a fleece footed PJ onesie, a beanie hat and a blanket. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything. Should I have?

I'm not confrontational at all, so I probably would not have said anything directly about her not dressing him appropriately. I would have probably acted surprised at how quickly the weather cooled down, so any comments on the cold would be attributed to it being unexpected vs poor judgement on her part. Then I'd either offer an extra blanket for him to use (I always carry a bunch just in case I need them) or apologetically leave dinner early and make plans for a longer visit later, specifying a warmer location and/or time.

Hugs, @badwolf321. Enjoy the wedding!

If I didn't have to go through what I have to go through, I'd consider being pregnant by the end of 2016 again.

[mirage86]

@badwolf321, I'm sorry your body does that to you! Lots of Internet hugs your way.
gigi3126, I feel exactly the same both about the pregnancy and thought of a second! I told DH last night that if we ever have another one it'll have to be really chill, because E wants almost constant interaction and stimulation. Idk how I'd handle two like that!

[alayne926]

So sorry @badwolf321. I'm sure that's very difficult to go through when you don't *know* what's going on. ((((HUGS))))

This post brought to you by my second period in two weeks...

Anyone ever used or now use a diva cup? Thoughts, likes, dislikes?

A lot of ladies on my old BMB used one or similar and loved it! I was holding off buying one hoping I wouldn't need it, finally ordered one and then got my BFP. So...no thoughts/likes/dislikes on it yet as I haven't actually used it. I will say I'm a bit intimidated on how it's going to work (especially since I wasn't a huge fan of my diaphragm when we were using that as BC since it had to be left in so long after DTD)

I HATED being pregnant and have had a lot of difficulty with post-partum body issues, so I'm not thrilled with the idea of ever going through it again. Plus, aside from sleep, V is a really laid back and happy baby, so I feel like the next would be trickier.

I do want V to have a sibling though, so we'll try again in 1.5-2 years when we can afford another baby in daycare.

I am almost the exact opposite, I loved being pregnant and had a relatively easy pregnancy.  But I feel like I am paying for it with a high maintenance baby, so the next one has to be easier, right?!

That said we are pretty sure we want more kids, but the thought of being OAD does have its perks.

I actually did do this.  We were supposed to have dinner and then wander around the shops (outdoor plaza).  But I just couldn't stand the thought of him staying that cold, so during dinner I mentioned C had been having some rough nights (totally not a lie) and I wanted to get her home a little earlier so we would need to leave after dinner.

I'm frankly surprised no one here is pregnant yet. 

What happened with pbubblegum? Didn't she think she was recently?

Ooooo... I missed this!  pbubblegum come in here STAT!

[tiffbot]

I remember starting to get the baby fever flutters at 6 months with DS too. I was pregnant again by the time he was 14 months.

At almost 7 months PP with DD now do not have the flutters lol. Not that anything bad has happened, I'm just feeling very content. I think we'll still try for 3 but still a conversation for much later!

GL to everyone who is trying or will be soon!

[pbubblegum]

Sorry for the suspense. We are on vacation about to have lunch. Will report back later. Happy new year girls xoxoxoxox.

[beersandweirs]

Happy birthday @poppyc8! Hope the headache isn't too big today.

thank you! It was a huge birthday for me. Turned 40!! I think it might be the scariest bday I've ever had. I'll feel a bit better when H turns 40 in March. For now I'm his older lady.

Congrats pbubblegum

[silv3rlining]

Don't love being pregnant (other than feeling the baby move,mostly how I look, and the anticipation). PG with DS I felt awful and had GD and then L&D was nothing like I hoped. LOs pregnancy wasn't bad minus separating my pelvic bone and I actually had a wonderful L&D experience. DS was a super chill baby and I loved the NB phase with him. LO has been a challenge since she was born. She's the happiest and angriest baby and sleeps (at night) so poorly. I wouldn't trade either experience or child though.

[silv3rlining]

@bubbs119 I got a tiny hair bow on my Baldy baby today too! It didn't last long but it was an exciting moment.

@poppyc8 I would have never guessed you were 40 (don't ask me why). Then again I'm a horrible judge at guessing ages. DH turned 40 this past March (but he's 12 years older than me) so our peer group spans quite a bit.

[wegrowsheep]

Hooray for another squish! Congrats pbubblegum!

Both my pregnancies were super easy and I loved every minute of them. The first time I birthed a spawn of satan. This time I got my easy baby. I thank my lucky stars every single day because if I had 2 of my first born I don't think I would like life very much.

ETA: Congrats pbubblegum!

veggiemo baby making twins. Loved being preg, dd satan baby, ds super chill
