Has anyone else had any issues with extra breast skin when breastfeeding or pumping?
I am just lazy with Michigan weather, nobody has seen these trees all winter anyway! Gotta keep warm somehow!
I too struggle with the whole thing of wanting to lose weight, but not losing like I did. I've lost around 117 pounds and I'm 6 months post op (this wasn't a planned pregnancy). There are days where I'm happy that I'm stalling and then others when I feel like I've failed my whole surgery. I have lost 2 pounds in the past month and that's it. I had my 20 week ultrasound today and the baby is looking great and growing right like it should. That really helped me feel better about not losing weight, because as long as she's growing good that's all that matters to me.
That's true and congrats on your pregnancy!
Sorry to hear that! I had two mc's in two months, so this month we're taking the month off and waiting for some blood work results and a normal cycle before trying again. It is just frustrating when you start thinking about things like "by Christmas we could have another person in the family..." . My husband gets frustrated that I'm so quick to plan ahead, but it is so hard not to!
I never get a positive test until at least 2 or 3 days after my missed period. For me, no period is always cause to not give up hope for the month.
I wish I could slack on leg shaving. I have blonde hair, and not a whole lot of leg hair to begin with, so it would easily go unnoticed if I gave it up. However, I feel like after a week it is uncomfortable in bed, like it rubs the wrong way on the sheets, and I always end up having to find a way (and the time) to do it. Grrr!
Super cute! Jealous about the shorts though! We're still wearing our mittens up north :(
So I feel your pain!
(Being a part of this blog helps me feel not alone and it makes me smile to see success stories)
Hang in there!

I don't know how far along you are but it sounds like you're close to being due, but I understand regardless. I'm 20 weeks and my leg shaving aversion is due more to me just being tired all the time and not really caring how hairy they get. My thoughts on the whole OB/GYN thing is that they've probably seen worse, lol. That's how I get through my yearly's and everything else is that I know my stuff can't possibly be the worst, but you never know :)
