I need to get some winter clothes that fit me. Every time I try to get dressed lately I feel frustrated and lousy about myself. I'm not worried about the weight, I know I will loose it with time, but I'd like to have a few more things that I can wear that fit properly and make me feel good about myself.
But I have no time to dilly dally trying to shop for myself!

tbirdloveAgreed. I was behind on laundry and decided to put on pre-Pregnsncu jeans yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised how they fit. A tiny bit snug and of course I still have some extra skin hanging over but again, surprised. Well, that was until I sat on the couch and decided to get up. I totally split them down the middle! Woof! Funny thing is that I still wore them out to the zoo anyway 🤷♀️. Leggings for life.

pixiepink24 oh no!! 😄 And yep - leggings are where it's at! I've got a couple pairs coming from Amazon to try. I need to get a few drapey cardigans and flowy tops too.

I'm in that weird clothes stage too. I had to go to a funeral yesterday and basically had to try on every single pair of pants I own to find one pair that semi fit and had to do the rubber band thing on the button 😒

I’ve somehow managed to not have to take both girls to the grocery store by myself until today. M. Was surprisingly compliant so it was a fun trip... let’s hope they continue this.

I'm having some pain in parts of my pelvis. The pain feels similar to when I was pregnant - my pubic bone feels like it's gonna bust again when I stand up. Could this be everything tightening back up as the relaxin leaves my body after pregnancy??? Has anyone else experienced this pain coming back postpartum? I don't remember this after DS and it's not pleasant 😔 I thought I was done with this pain!
I first noticed recently when walking that my low, low abs felt sore like I'd been working out. Then yesterday we went to the zoo and did more walking than I've done in a while. That seems to have set off the rest of the pelvic pain.

But I have no time to dilly dally trying to shop for myself! I was trying to buy some nicer tops to actually dress up a bit for Christmas this year. Found some sweaters I loved on the hangers at Kohls but they made me feel huge when I put them on so they're going back.

She has plenty of time 😊 I think rolling over is expected by like 6 or 7 months. I remember having the same spit up issue with tummy time with my DS - yuck!

DS1 was 4 months+ before he rolled for the first time.

I'm on night three of lousy sleep and night two of not being able to put DD down for more than 10 mins at night. She sleeps fine in her glider during the day and even puts herself to sleep in it. I don't think we're in Leap 3 yet. I don't understand why she's having such difficulty at night. She has been extra gassy, so maybe it's related to that. But I don't know how to fix it. Gas drops do nothing and I already burp her a ton.

Would a week early put you in Leap 3? DS2 has been fussier and harder to put down sleeping as well this week but it looks like we are in Leap 3 so I assume it's that. DS1 started STTN some nights after he finished Leap 3 so I'm really hoping for the same with DS2.

According to the app we're 4 days out from Leap 3 as of today. I thought it was still further. The night behavior is the same as Leap 2 and I blamed gas when that started too. I feel like I had barely recovered from Leap 2 😭 And if this is any indication of what Leap 4 and the four month sleep regression are going to look like, then heaven help me.

Happy December ladies!Time is flying and I'm just a few days away from having a two month old. tbirdlove,I hope you get some rest soon. Nymeria,wow. Baby is on the move already! DD1 rolled over quickly. DD2 doesn't have much interest in it yet. We still have to do most of her tummy time on my stomach. brenna,I hate clothes right now. I don't know what I am going to do when I go back to work. Between things not fitting right and needing to have accessible clothing for pumping, my wardrobe is limited at the moment. I spend most days in a bra and robe right now for easy access.

I cleaned out dd2's dresser today and took out almost all the 3 month clothes and put in 6 month clothes! Dd1 was always slow to move up sizes but dd2 was starting to look like a stuffed sausage in some of her 3 month onesies 😂

I think DD is getting too big for her bassinet. That could also be part of what's waking her. Her arms hit the sides and if she shimmies down a bit her feet hit the bottom too. But I'm not ready for her to go in her crib yet! 😢

But I'm not ready for her to go in her crib yet! 😢 we'll have DD in her rock and play for awhile longer. I'm not sure how the crib will work out since she always spits up when she's laying flat. It's probably going to be a really fun transition with lots of sheets being washed!

Also, (I hope I don't jinx it) but DD hasn't needed help staying asleep tonight at all, which hasn't happened uh like ever. She's woken up a few times in the past two hours since I put her to sleep but she went back to sleep on her own! This is huge for my sanity to no have to be rocking her for hours at bedtime.

Best laugh I've had in a while is trying to explain my breast pump to my three year old. Y'all it was hilarious.

Y'all it was hilarious. dd1 who is two, loves to say "my boobies hurt" then take her shirt off and use my hand pump and "get milk for Lily!" She heard me a few too many times when I was engorged in the beginning I guess haha 😂😂

Please send good thoughts to my digestive system. I was making dinner, trying to get a screaming dd2 to sleep, and trying to keep dd1 from coloring all over the walls and accidentally made gluten pasta instead of gluten free (I didn't even know we had gluten pasta!) And ate a bowl of it. No gluten for 4 years and then I fricken eat a whole bowl of it. I'm scared about the next few days 😕
