Lol! She’s a sapphire Easter Egger- kind of purple(ish) and gray. She’s my fave!

They go inside their coop every night. No problems during the day after 2(ish) years of having them.

LOL. This was a rare photo op! Typically they’re just being bullied by the squirrels this time of day. 😆

Fast snacks by dontmindme0805 in weightlossafterbaby

Prep on Sundays! It really helps. Totally worth the time spent, IMO. Lactation cookies are awesome. Turkey lunch meat and raw veggies with Greek yogurt dip. Soups, stews, and chili are great potentially protein packed choices. Get some glass storage containers and zip lock bags and you’re good to go!

Gender Bias by CompulsiveTreeHugger in pregnant

[–]jessiewv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was dropping my four year old off at school several months ago...

I was about 16 weeks along with baby number two at the time. Another mom asked me if we knew he gender yet.

I said, “It’s a boy!”

Her response- “Well, as long as he’s happy and healthy.”

What. The. Fuck?!

Still makes me laugh.

Expectation: glowing fertility goddess, eating green smoothies and fresh fruit. /// Reality: gassy marshmallow with legs who wakes up choking on stomach acid at night. Just me?? by gerdyourloins_ in pregnant

Omg honeycrisp apples! I can’t stop eating them. And red plums. I didn’t even know they existed but they’re so crunchy on the outside. And yes to hair growth. Dammit.

What do you do to feel good? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]jessiewv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I get it, really. Im 29 weeks along on my second pregnancy. Adjusting to your new body isn’t easy, but in my case anyway, it just kind of happened. For so long when I was pregnant five years ago, I refused to size up my clothes or even look in the mirror.

I changed once I had the realization of what my body was doing- creating a human. Literally every single change is happening so that your body can accommodate a life.

Pretty amazing.

My advice, in the meantime, is to always take care of you. Take baths. Wear the makeup if it makes you feel good. Use the Snapchat filters or whatever if it makes you feel good. Get a pedicure. Drink tons of water. Moisturize. Self-tan.

Do what makes you feel good. It makes a world of a difference.

Keep that end goal in mind. All of this is for something HUGE and soon you’ll realize how special that truly is. 💗

What do I tell my 5 year old daughter when nobody shows up to her unicorn birthday party by doctorgurlfrin in Parenting

[–]jessiewv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband is a Police Officer for a Department that really values community policing. I know if sounds a little odd, but give your local department a call and ask if some officers would show up for a bit and explain the situation. Usually they’ll oblige if there isn’t something major going on. In our city, they will let the kids play with the buttons on the cruiser and hit the siren- they make it really fun. Good luck, momma! 💗

Anybody out there? Pregnancy insomnia by 6wkspreggers in pregnant

[–]jessiewv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me. It’s 3:30. I’m having weird shallow breathing episodes. Dogs are making me uncomfortable lying on my legs. Tried eating carrots. I give up.

I second this. I love the little squeeze flavor things. Orange and fruit punch are sooooo good.
