wedding M loves this. You should get it for C. Snip Is that the Vampirina house? He’s saving his $ for it now! I just got him a Breyer horse and trailer. He really could care less about them but I wanted it. I’m reliving my childhood.

I also just got measured at VS. I thought I was a 36D but I’m a 34DD. I look so much better in the right sized bra. I bought two but will buy more in a few weeks. I have a $20 off coupon that starts next week.

2 nights this weekend we've had to have the "you can't pee there " conversation with M. First time was the carpet. Ugh. Just now he opened the door and peed on our steps while standing in the house..

Ok, now I realize I need to actually get fitted for bras. It'd probably make me look so much better

If you have a Nordstrom or specialty bras shop go there to get fitted. VS has done a terrible job in my experience, at least with larger breasts. wineallthetime I’d wait until your weight and whatever evens out before being fitted for a bra.

I just bought 3 bras from VS with some coupons from the mail. Bras are one thing I’ll splurge on because the cheap ones are so uncomfortable. Even for people with smaller chests like me.

Hi ladies, just catching up now. I've got to go back and read. There is something going on with my stomach, which is now located directly under my left boob, and it is not sounding good. H and my oldest were both sick with a stomach thing, so I'm guessing it's that and not pregnancy related. It's a strange thing to be rooting for anything but labor....even if it's a poop virus.
Today I rearranged Evie's furniture to make room for the baby, while H put in new can lights in the basement. We might both be nesting, but he might even be worse than me! His contractor buddy is going to help him drywall in the ceiling and lend him a sprayer for the walls. They are hoping to get the basement done in the next 6 weeks. FX 😬

Happy Birthday H! slenleSorry to hear about your SIL tgrimes. I must have missed that she was pregnant, was she very far along? It's probably very comforting that she has your support. Re: Bras. Bane of my existance. I'm living that sports bra life right now though, so I don't have to worry about new ones until I'm done breastfeeding. I do like VS stuff when I have normal sized boobs....and their lace-banded undies, so comfy and cute!

Hi!!! We had a nice quiet little Sunday. Landon had a bday party and the little boys were upset they didn’t go, so we took them to the bowling alley/arcade. Of course the kids wanted to play those dumb ticket games that no one ever wins... well dh was my laying and miraculously got the jackpot and won 3000 tickets. I was tending next to him playing a different game with Lucas.... and got the jackpot and won another 1500. Lol, no we gave a game card with almost 5000 tickets so we decided to save it and keep adding to it to maybe get one of the big prizes. We also went out and bought a lottery ticket, because what are the odds? peachsmama we have taught all the boys to pee outside for camping, hiking, etc. last year I was at Landon’s field day and I turned around to ryland dropping his pants in front of about 100 people. Thankfully I caught him before he actually started peeing!

Well, we finished one bathroom, but the other is still a mess. I managed to get two coats to the downstairs bath. H worked on texturizing the walls on his bath, but we aren't decided if we like it. I'm going to have someone come look at it and tell us what it would cost to put in new drywall.
And I'm sorry AF from climbing ladders squatting down, reaching over my head. Home improvement sucks.

Hi!! tgrimes I’m sorry for your SIL and family. Glad she has a good support system though. Happy Birthday to H slenle!! I am like @sands in that I will splurge on VS bras because every time I have bought one from anywhere else it was not comfortable! Although right now I’m still wearing a sleep bra from when I had S because one of my incisions from my surgery is right on my bra line and a regular bra irritates it and hurts.

Thankfully I caught him before he actually started peeing! It was so funny I was speechless. He just walked over, swung open the door and started going. I just looked at A like "do you see this?" Lol. I finally asked what he was doing and he just shrugged "I had to pee" 4 year olds, man.

I’ve had a busy few days since I last checked in. Friday was the drinking day at work and it was so funny. Most entertaining day of work yet! But then all hell broke loose because my boss jumped the gun on something and had me do something prematurely. Then ... whoops! Never mind. So I had to scramble to fix it.
Then yesterday I went to a bridal shower for Sierra’s babysitter. S is her flower girl but I couldn’t take her because I’m not supposed to be lifting her yet. And she still requires a lot of lifting.
Then today we cleaned the basement. It was a disaster and we have sooooo much stuff to take to the dumpster. We also have some stuff to donate and a few things we are going to try to sell. Then since we were on a roll, we came upstairs and rearranged our living room. It’s soooo much better now! Much more open.
I’m still on liquids...but praying with all I have that tomorrow at my follow up they will release me to soft foods. I want to eat!!! I’ve lost 16 lbs in a week and a half.

cagoldi How are you guys holding up as a family of 5? Does Pete have a paternity leave? Only two weeks, so this is the only one he has off with me and P since she's been home. So far, so good. I'm exhausted of course but that's to be expected. She's a pretty mellow baby thus far. She wants to eat often but she settles quickly most of the time and isn't fussy. Only three days in but at this point what people said about going from one to two being the busiest seems accurate. We'll see if that holds true.

I haven't had good luck with VS but I wonder if it's because they don't carry our cup size so at a certain point they just tell everyone with giant beasts they're a DD.

FX 😬 I'm laughing because Pete nests, too, but it's super weird stuff. Last week I was spring cleaning (with my mom's help) and Pete made about six trips to Dunn Edwards to have paint matches so he could touch up the walls. And he had to hang a new towel rack in our first floor bathroom. Weird priorities...

Before I had H they had me in a 36 ddd. I am not even close to that, even before I got pregnant. I need a 34 band but of course they didn’t have a cup big enough so they went with the “sister size” to make a sale. Until I started measuring myself and trying 500 bras (because no stores sell them here, I had to order online and then return until I found the right one) I had never had the gore touch my sternum. It’s amazing what a properly fitting bra will do for you.

S was a lot smaller than H at birth but at 3 months she was the same size H was at that age.
