Y’all – I had a baby! About a week ago! And he’s still here and thriving! I feel so accomplished!!
I like Crocs, especially cute-ish ones like these. Thanks for posting them! Be careful wearing Crocs when it’s wet outside!
I’m meeting with a family lawyer to discuss a probable divorce. I don’t want to get too much into the details, but here are the basics – we’ve been in couples counseling for over a year, we have a child, there are substance abuse issues and mental health issues that are not being addressed (his, not mine), and it’s time for me to move on. What kind of questions should I be asking the lawyer?
I bought these shoes during pregnancy, and they are comfortable. However, I found that they made my feet really incredibly sweaty, and they had little “massage” points on the insole that sometimes rubbed my feet raw. I wasn’t a big fan of socks during pregnancy, so these got put away….the Crocs mary janes though. I wore those CONSTANTLY during pregnancy, sweaty feet or no.
Hey Pogo and you fellow wannabe mommas! Checking in- How’s it going?
I finally figured out how to use the OPK strips I had (it didn’t come with detailed instructions so it took some searching to figure it out a bit) and I’m working on being positive.
I’ve also realized what idiots people can be. I long ago learned to never ask someone (who’s not your sister or spouse basically) about their family plans, but SERIOUSLY. I had a well-meaning older woman bugging me at a social event the other day about when we were going to have kids. Every bone inside of me wanted to scream “WORKING ON IT, LADY” (Yes, Ellen caps 100% required.)
