Our newest addition finally posing for a decent picture 😂.

I need to vent & I have not a family member or friend that I can vent about this too. This is a long post... Forgive me but I have no where else to share this. My MIL is a certified bitch. She is truly evil & has proven it to me (and her own and only son) on SEVERAL occasions. Her sisters and nephews refer to her as "that woman" & tell me they pray for me since I have to deal with her. That being said, since my husband is her only child, & only family member that will talk to her anymore, He tri...

Having back-to-work while nursing anxiety already & I'm not even at the halfway point in maternity leave. It's stupid too... I have my own office & my job is extremely accomodating. If I'm being honest, I think I'm just frightened that I won't be as productive or that I'll lose "my edge" cause I'm a new mom after all of these years. Shamelessly seeking words of encouragement... 😔

I just have to get this off my heart. There are soooo many moms on here in need of support & understanding from other moms who should be able to relate and therefore offer some form of comfort. Too many times, however, these same moms are met with harsh criticism, contempt, and frankly bitchy behavior from a group that should be compassionate. It's sad. We all know women can be mean & cruel, & that some aren't satisfied until they made another angry or "read somebody". BUT here, on this app, wh...

I had a weird week of positive contradictions. So every time I witnessed/experineced multiple people being complete douches, I experienced a random act of kindness by a complete stranger that reaffirmed my hope in the human race, especially leaving work for some reason. I'm sure it's the "pregnancy effect" that causes some people to be extra kind, but I'll take it! #positivityismagic

So I'm TOTALLY defeated after today's checkup. Doc checked my cervix and it's good & closed, and high up too! 😩 I so wanted baby to come early in the 9th month. I'm just over being pregnant. Time for this kid to have his own space!

I've come to the realization that I need to take maternity leave a week or two earlier than I want. Working with swelling, random numbness, Mr. Heavy Baby boxing in my belly, after nights of no sleep, & on-the-hour bathroom breaks is counterproductive. I can't even manage my moods, so managing a whole department/program is not happening. Anyone else in the same predicament?

I'm tired of being tired, and I'm about to sleep in Depends so I can stop waking up every other hour. #3rdtrimesterblues

With two kids in the prime of I-need-hands-on-parenting age, I'm getting really nervous about how we're gonna manage a newborn and still stay on top of these two. I'm so emotion filled right now!!

Need stroller advice... I like the tires and "lean" look of joggers, so I'm looking to buy the Baby Trend Expedition Jogger Travel System. Anybody have this combo, or know of a great jogger travel system for a reasonable price?
