A lot of women feel like they lose a bit of glamour when they become mothers — there are a million reasons for this, including that huge bag of stuff we now have to haul around when traveling with bebe. My own personal items have become so sparse that I suddenly realized, when leaving the house sans kids, I could fit everything I needed into a clutch. Hooray for that teensy bit of glamour, regained. This one pictured is a bestseller at Zappos, and it’s easy to see why — it comes in four different colors for $198. Michael by Michael Kors Berkley Large Clutch

変な奇数うわーそれはあった。 信じられないほど極端に長いコメントが、私は表示されませんでした私のコメントを提出した後にクリックした私はちょうど書きました。気まぐれ…よく私は再び上ですべてのことを書いていないよ。 とにかくブログ、単に素晴らしいを言いたかった！
Don’t know if they have DHA, but I like my Target brand pre-natal gummies. (I also like that I just bought my last bottle of them!)
Hi ladies, I’m hoping that you can share the type of prenatal vitamins you took or are taking. I’m taking the Rainbow Light Prenatal One vitamin, but my doc told me at my first appointment this week that I need to take something with at least 200mg of DHA. The rainbow light doesn’t have DHA so I need to either get a supplement or find another vitamin with DHA. Would be interested in hearing the types of vitamins others are taking. TIA!
I’m posting this here because it’s not the kind of thing I feel like I want to share with people in “real life” but an anonymous internet forum seems like the perfect place…but I had a spontaneous conversation with my husband last night that somehow morphed into a “yes, it seems like the right time to stop taking birth control” decision.
Eeek. Obviously that’s just one small decision leading to a much larger chain of events, but it sort of feels like a Big Deal. And I’m trying to wrap my head around that “Big Deal” while acknowledging that these things can take time and require patience. So it feels like everything has changed even when, in fact, nothing has.
I’ve been having pretty bad headaches almost daily since I started working (Sept 2). I’m posting here bc I’m still nursing and I’m not sure if it’s just lack of sleep or something else going on. I’ve been drinking tons of water (3 or more liters daily), eating quite a lot (but I still find myself hungry most of the day). Any advice? Do you think it’s just the flourescent lighting? Tia ladies.
Cute clutch! I need to replace my basic black clutch I got from Aldo many years ago. This is tempting!
Dumb TJ re: BC — for the past 11 months, I’ve been on the “mini pill,” which I understand is effective BC while nursing. Since I’m no longer nursing, do I need to switch back to my regular BCP? Of course I should ask my doctor, but I’m in the process of finding a new one. Is this an ASAP thing, or do I have some time to get in to see a new doctor and talk with her about options?
