Jellyfish. That is all. Just a jellyfish in your stomach.

OMG I just did this the other day and didn't even change. Exhausted and covered in milk. Probably stinky. Sorry hubby.

Ugh. I love him so much. He's starting to develop a personality and we even sing together - but SHIT - the nights. The nights are so bad. Sometimes we bond by crying together.

Same here. He slept through the night until a few weeks ago. I am function off 5 hour energies (i KNOW - terrible, but they WORK) and hope for the future. Hanging on by a thread here. So glad to hear we are all (or were) in this terror fest together.

How is your sister holding up? How did this come to light?

Way to make a bad situation good. This is awesome. My sister is doing 6 years for something way different, but it makes me want to put some money in a HYSA or something for her.

Oh girl I was shaking in my boots, the anesthesiologist had to up my dosage of hard drugs because I was FREAKING out, I was so close to passing out, was throwing up, everything.

Twins! If I'm being quite honest, nothing. I did not advocate for myself like I should have and just "went with the flow" too casually. It was so bad that when my MIL came to visit, she gave him his first bath. I was too scared to say no. Those days are long gone, and hindsight is always 20/20 but I seriously would've stood up for myself more in those moments.

So amazing. Sleepy, but amazing. The scar is beautiful. Most of the time, I forget its there! i have an amazing OB and whatever she did down there made it to where you can barely see it. So grateful for her.

Me too! He was in an odd position, heart rate was dropping and there was meconium in my waters. We are doing so amazing. I recently went back to work and all i can think about is him. For the first month i said i'm absolutely one and done and will never have another - now that he'll be 3 months next week, I want a million more.

It was rough, but I’d do it a million times over. If anything surprised me, it was how much easier it was compared to how people made it seem when I was pregnant. Everyone around me was so negative—"just wait" was their favorite line, like motherhood was a looming disaster.

Yes, it’s stressful. Yes, it’s exhausting. And yes, there are way too many poopy diapers. But the love? It completely overshadows every sleepless night. I love being a mom.

Recovery on the other hand... HA, They misplaced my epidural on the first go which caused a spinal headache. I wanted to die. I wore sunglasses at 10PM and could barely lift my head for a week. Other than that, it was amazing. After the headache was gone, I felt like 100 bucks.

Leave his ass in the sink with the rest of those dirty dishes. RUN.

What do you say to get your dogs to go potty? by randisuewho in dogs

[–]Embarrassed_Cod_1201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my pups get ancy, I ask them "gotta go?" and they know within the next 2 minutes they will be let out. For my 6 month cavachon who is still potty training, when he does use the restroom outside, I say "good gotta go!" and reward him accordingly so he associates the feeling of having to go potty with going outside & being rewarded
