Who cares?

Today I finally did it! I put on my swimsuit at the hotel we are staying and went swimming with my daughter & husband. 👙I’m not feeling confident in my suit - at all! I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been and just not where I want to be , physically, and I always worry about being too pale, but I DID IT!!!
Who cares what people think? It was fun and my family was so happy I joined them!
Us Mamas have got to be kinder to ourselves!! !
Don’t miss the fun! Get in the pool! 👊🏻
And after, I ate pasta & drank wine- so screw it! Life is too short! Lol 😂

I found a higher waited swim bottom so it covers more of my problem areas. But I agree your kids don’t care what you look like

What a beautiful thing for your daughter to see!
And good for you!!! You are amazing!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That’s the way mama 👍🏽

I've had trouble coping as well with my body. I started working out today and i hope I am able to build the confidence you built! Congrats!

Love this. I can totally relate! You are beautifiul btw!!!

Amen sister! I'm actively trying to lose weight, I'm 50lbs heavier than I was pre baby 😒 but I'm trying to remember that my son doesn't care what I look like, he only cares that mommy will play with him. That mommy has fun with him. Thank you for the reminder, I needed it today

Stacy you are so beautiful.. not just the outside but inside as well..That’s the spirit! You shouldn’t care what people think! I know it’s easy said then done! But that’s the truth! Life is too short to not enjoy it especially when u have a family that needs you to spend time with them and enjoy memories together .. always remind yourself that nobody is better then u!! Everyone is fighting their own battles probably even worse then u just remember that and you will be just fine!! Have a beautiful and bright active weekend with your family beautiful!

I always worry about looking too pale as I'm a natural red head. I've put on weight too 🙈. As I have got older I care a bit less but it's always embedded in my brain x

I look back on thinking I was heavy... 25 pounds ago haha

Love this story

Be kinder to ourselves! I like that

Love this, wear the outfit, the bathing suit, eat the food, drink the wine. BE HAPPY that's all your family cares about. I'm 70 lbs heavier than I was pre baby and trying my hardest to get back before it's too late I get diabetes. I'm not confident in my weight but i wear the 2 piece bathing suits and the crop tops because i careless what someone else thinks of me. Way to go mama

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!
