I keep either reading about or casually meeting (this last time at Motherhood Maternity) women who have had 8-10 kids. Thinking about my pregnancy so far and then doing it 8 times makes me wanna shoot myself to put me out of my misery. I only plan to do this one more time and I'm getting drugs from day one for the HE.
My SIL powered through 3 pregnancies with HE. They started out wanting 5 kids. So, do these people you meet live on farms? How can anyone AFFORD that many kids much less deliver them all???
- Yvonne
No. They live in the Bay Area or South of here. I have no idea how anyone can afford that. Also the Duggars......I cant understand how her uterus has not fallen out yet.

I get asked all the time if we're having more. Let's see... extended "morning" sickness x 2; pre-eclampsia x 2; PND x 1; premature baby x 1. HOW ABOUT NO.

Now I have this visual of Michelle Duggar with a uterus dragging behind her.

I may be entirely too tired to get the joke or reference, forgive me.

your auto-correct earlier. I am sorry, MC. I know better than to be persnickety at 3:40am.
- Die Leberwurst
Oh I autocorrected? I had no idea. No harm no foul. I was just curious. And whatever I did autocorrect, I'm sure it was funny.

I'm a good wife. I remembered to buy Scott a bottle of Jack Daniels while I was out running errands.
I bought it at SafeWay and I don't think anyone even noticed.

hard liquor in the grocery store? *clutches pearls*
- Hieronymous Boosh
hahahaha, yeah that was a O_O for her when I first took her shopping the first time she came to visit. It's all sold in markets here :).

Yeah, it blew my mind at first. Coming from NYC where you have can get beer at the supermarket, but have to go to a liquor store and then going to Philly where you have to get beer at a distributor and go to a state store for liquor and the same in NC....altho you can get beer at the supermarket. The liquor & wine thing blew my mind.
- Mary Carmen
hang on, i don't actually have pearls. what did i just... *quietly leaves*
- Hieronymous Boosh
Pfft. Not only can you buy booze at most California grocery stores, Safeway has one of the best wine selections around (at least Bay Area Safeways do). At sometimes absurdly good prices also.
- Walt Crawford
Liquor is sold in the grocery stores here too. Remarkable for such a redneck state.

One place I lived in NJ was a 'dry island'. I had to drive over a bridge to buy alcohol. So annoying.

I'm in a fairly regular sleep pattern for the first time in years. Still not getting quite enough, though.
- Headless Gnad Kicker
I've got the maternity pants thing down, now I think that if I buy dresses and shirts 1-2 sizes bigger I can avoid the nightmare that is plus size maternity clothes.
You should look into meditation oasis the podcast, they have a few good casts some guided some just music. I've been listening and using them a lot lately.

not the worst pregnancy - the baby is happy and healthy! but this does suck oh so very much for mama. :( I keep thinking this will get better as you go along but it doesn't seem to. At least it's finite, right?
- Christina Pikas
Yes. I can't be pregnant forever. I take a sleep aid almost every night. It barely makes mr tired. *shrug*

Having a tough pregnancy is tough... we so want it to be joyful, but hard when feel like crap for weeks and months on end. Hugs to you. It is worth it. It will end. You can do it.

Anne and I were talking about this this morning -- while I was sick, the cats all spent four days launching themselves onto and off of my belly and my goodies at high speed.
- Jason P
Sometimes, I think they're trying to comfort me. Other times, I think they just want to steal my heat while I can't move.
- Jennifer Dittrich
When I was pregnant all the pets wouldn't leave me alone. I think it's the change in body smell/ phermones.
- Elizabeth Brown
Yes that. And it hurts. In a few months they won't be able to sit on my belly.

I wouldn't count on that, Mary. My parents' cat (who was staying with us while my wife was pregnant - the cat was staying with us, that is, not my parents) used to climb up on my wife's pregnant belly so much that we swore the kidlet was going to have paw prints on her forehead when she was born.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Same. I hope you can get some good rest when you can finally catch it.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Right here with you. Just saw my wife and her sis off to OC for the day.

I can't get to bed before three am. Then I end up napping. Then I go to bed late. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Also throw some barfing in the mix. I just can't get back to normal.

Really? Do you prefer it as a set I or II opener? I like when they kick off the show with some energy.
- Mary Carmen
Set 2. Coming back in from intermission good song while folks settle in for next hour plus. Then something batshit up tempo to wake folks up.

Give the director a serpent deflector, a mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector. A cushion convector, a picture of nectar, a viral dissector, a hormone collector! Whatever you do, take care of your shoes!
So as best I can tell, if a fat woman is happy in her body and loves herself and then proclaims that on tumblr, it is open season for folks to tell her how unattractive she is, how she should hate herself and that she needs to lose wait. Fat-shaming.....alive and well.
Some of the people who comment on Tumblr, especially anonymously, use up my 'WTF is wrong with people' quotient regularly. I feel like it takes a special kind of ignorant fuckwad to piss all over someone else's happiness.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yeah, there are some really nasty users, and some of them are pretty obsessive about which bloggers they pick on.
