I'm usually a full A/small B. Right now I'm a solid C and feel like I've got porn boobs, lol. So you can imagine how I am feeling in my 38Gs (normally 36F, so not small by any means) right about now... Boobs up in my eyes, basically. At least I am carrying lower than with DD. With her, my boobs were legitimately up in my face. I still have 15 weeks, though... Yeahhhhh, I'll stick with C cup, thanks. Good luck with your bazoomas, pal

misskilljoy I remember you saying about your feelings turning into your MIL with a boy... honestly don't worry, if anything it gives you an example not what to be like. Does she know she's being like it when questioning? As for example whenever DS is running around she's like "oh be careful, oh no, oh I can't watch this" I literally just tell her to stop going on. She laughs about it, as she knows exactly she's being over the top. Or if he's eating around her, and she's like having a mild panic attack about the size of the food or the cutlery (he eats with adult cutlery as he prefers it) I just tell her to stop, or just give her my 'look' and she just laughs again... luckily we don't see her much lol She has no idea she's being OTT. DD was trying to do a "somersault" (read: she was bending over, putting her head on the ground, then flopping onto her side... because she's two) and MIL kept cringing and freaking out that she would "break her neck". She kept asking us to stop her from doing that because it was dangerous. When I said it was fine and she would stop if it was hurting her, MIL covered her eyes and kept panicking until she eventually left the room. I just... can't handle that. I promise I'm keeping my kid safe and not letting her take unreasonable risks. Do we have the same MIL? Honestly I would try being more forceful with her. Like I would have just gone "oh stop it she's fine, go away if you don't want to watch it" ... make her feel like she is being a little ridiculous

Two kids will be the breaking point for this, I think. Don't have time to reassure you, honey.

misskilljoy yea puddle jumper is perfect for that, no need for a life jacket. It's over 8 ft here so adults cannot touch.

yesssssss. I don't breastfeed so mine get ridiculous. I have to bind them, take benadryl, and use cabbage leaves and I still get a slight fever. It's the worst 3 days waiting for the milk to dry up.

Even if you do plan to BF, that first day or two... brutal. They're solid as rocks, you can't wear a bra, if they get as big as mine did it's going to make you laugh but also maybe cry every time you look in the mirror. I seriously looked ridiculous. RIDICULOUS. I also used cabbage leaves to soothe them and calm them down, but good lord, they were... something.

We are going home tonight instead of tomorrow morning. DS slept so poorly last night. He just needs to be back in his own bed, in his own room where he can't see us lol. At one point, he insisted on being in bed with us and was snuggling with me, wiggling his feet against my belly. The baby started kicking back at him. It was both adorable and annoying. It was 3am, not the time children! I'm looking forward to being back at my own house! But we had a lot of fun.

My bump is poking out from underneath my PJ top. Looks ridiculous but I dare H to comment on it when he gets home from work... I might just roll it up and give up with normal clothes

misskilljoy I am fairly sure puddle jumpers are actually coast guard approved flotation devices, I could be wrong. But anyway, 😬😬😬 to your MIL.

At the child age, they are considered the same type of flotation device (type III) as nearly all child life jackets. They won't flip a child from front to back but will keep their head out of the water as long as the child has some experience in the water. I did find ONE lifejacket that would be in the same category as infant ones (type II), the kind where they don't have to do anything and their head is kept out by the piece behind their head, but they're super uncommon and hard to find for 30+ lbs. The coast guard recommends those for boating and rough water.

I am so annoyed. I just came home to an $1100 bill from labcorp for the 12 week bloodwork. I called the insurance company to verify it was covered before the appt because the MFM requires you do so. I also tried to talk the doctor out of doing it since it wasn't testing for anything more than the CCS testing had already done on the embryos. And of course nothing is open on Saturday for me to check on the claim, I logged in online and it doesn't even look like the claim was submitted. I am not paying for this and I wish I could make the doctors office figure it out since it's for something I didn't even want. Sorry I just needed to vent that out.

Venting about medical costs and grievances is my MO, carry on! I really hope you can get this worked out soon!

You guys, age 2-3 is going to be the end of me. DS wanted "cold water" so DH got him a sippy cup with (shocker) cold water. DS sons for 15 minutes because he wanted a different cup, but kept wailing "cold water!!!"
I may be a terrible parent, but I offered him the full cup and then let him cry. If he's really thirsty, the cup shouldn't matter, right?

laurensc927, I'd be pissed. I hope you can get it sorted out easily. So ridiculous that you're being charged $1100 for something that wasn't even necessary because CCS actually often tests for more. Good luck. I'd be fuming too.

My neighbors are nuts. Next door there's a 15 year old who is an obnoxious troublemaker. He's got a dirt bike that he rides up and down the street. Not only is it loud and annoying, but it's illegal to ride one on a public road. Finally, today a neighbor yelled st the kid about it. The kid started screaming and swearing at the guy, so he called the police. By the time the cop came, the bike was in the garage and the kid was inside, so the cop kept driving. We were the nosy neighbors watching and listening on a police scanner app. lol
When the kid's mom got home, he must've told her what happened. She kicked his friends out, threatening to shove their bikes up their asses, and then she went down to the other neighbor's house. We could hear them screaming, and now the cops are back. She will defend her kid no matter what. It's insane.

A few minutes later, I see headlights turn on in the backyard, and her car pulled into the driveway. She was hiding in her car in the back yard. Nuts.

Sorry but I'm laughing at all of your with ginormous tits.
Perks of boobs being useless: no pain, no boulder rock like bazookas, no squirting/leaking/seepage of any kind. I did leak the night after I tried to quit BFing DD but I wasn't in any pain.
I think I may be joining you guys this time though, i went from an a/b to a D by week 9. I have yet to leak but the crustiness is there.
