Gm Sara.

:smooch

I still have an awesome, unbelieveable muffin top that would make muffins green with envy.

I still don't know I have to pee until I REALLY have to pee (handy on long road trips, but when I have to pee, I have to go NOW).

My feet are a half size smaller (7 to 6.5) and my arches are now where a size 6 should be so buying shoes is virtually impossible.

I have way more rage/irritation than I had before.

I can't remember anything. Anything. I've completely lost my long term and short term memory.

i have the irritation also.

but my feet got bigger with every pregnancy. i now wear a sexy size 11 shoe.

BUT - i did get 4 of the most gorgeous kids on the planet so.... a good trade off i guess wink

Juanita · Guru

Good morning!

My feet got bigger with the first 2. I went from a size 7 to a size 8, but they didn't grow any with Kenley.

My memory is gone too.

But, like Sara said, I got 3 gorgeous girls out of the deal, so I'm okay with it smile

GM!

I still have 10 pounds from Koda... but NONE from Tristen Finally!

I have stretch mark scars. Awesome.

I have a saggy belly that will never get better until I get my tummy tuck someday. Again, awesome.

I have my absolute favorite layering shirts: Liz Lang maternity long sleeve t shirts. I love them so much that I now buy them when I am not pregnant :blush I hate clingy shirts, and these are perfect for under my work polos. Love them (though they were better quality 5 years ago with Koda then they are now, but still good).

I have better sex after Tristen ;) We learned my old OB who sucked stitched me up wrong after Koda which explains over 2 years of uncomfy sex. My new OB? My favorite person ever. Corrected that error after Tristen.

Um...yeah, crazy temper. Seriously, I think I need to take up Yoga.

Good morning!

I can relate to the loss of memory and bigger feet. I also have acid reflux now and like Sonya, when I have to pee I can not wait. I wouldn't change it for the world, though. I love my two.

Picture-Perfect · Guru

Good morning girls!

Good question Sonya.

I have probably an extra 30 pounds... could have to do with my eating but eh i'll blame it on the babies ;)

I still have the PILE of tests I took with Bryson. Easily 20 or more.

My memory stinks now! Bad. I have a hard time expressing my thoughts now, could be the two kids as opposed to the pregnancy/birth LOL!

As everyone else has said I wouldn't change it for the world.

Good morning, and happy friday!

What do I have after my two pregnancies?

A wicked bad set of stretch marks; like, so bad that when I went to get a massage (first and last one in my life), the masseuse kept asking me how they got so bad, what did my dr. say, how long ago did I actually have a baby, etc. Most humiliating hour of my life.

I also have more patience. Before kids, I was very unforgiving of people. I became so easily annoyed, but after them, I just kind of shrug things off and remember how good I have it.

I also have lots and lots of awesome pictures to decorate my house with (both photos and artwork).

Toni · Guru

My house smells SOOOO bad.

Juliette dumped a gallon of milk on the hallway carpet over a month ago, and after much cleaning, deordorizing, etc, it STILL stinks. I hate walking into my house and it smelling like sour ass.

DH and I are discussing getting laminate flooring (we can't afford hardwood), because the carpet on this whole floor needs to be replaced. With multiple animals and two kids, carpet is a bad idea.

Does anyone here have laminate flooring? Does it hold up? I'm also worried of it being super slick and fake looking.

i totally just sent a not so nice email to the counselor and school psychologist at jake's high school. i wrote to them in september asking for help. they wrote back and said they thought behavioral testing would be a good idea.

they MAILED me a form (despite the fact that my kid is there every day for school) and so i signed it and returned it in early october.

that was the last i heard from them.

i need to know where he is and what to do for him.

sappy · Guru

oh hell no

i'm on hold with our new apartment peeps who are telling me our apartment will not be ready when they said it would be

i told them we are flexible.

now they're hemming and hawing.

Did they give you a timeline? Like, it won't be ready that DAY, or won't be ready this MONTH?

We have laminate up north. It is great, but I am not sure how it holds up with dogs nails on it. It is not like you can buff it out like wood. It looks really nice though and depending on the kind you get you cannot even notice it is laminate.

I still have about 5-10 pounds that I keep playing with because I can't leave sugar alone. But I have about 15-20 pounds of fat that wasn't there at this weight before having kids so I've definitely lost muscle.

My diet sucks because of the pregnancy cravings I gave into and held onto after pregnancy.

My memory is gone. I keep forgetting important things. And I have more that I have to remember so more gets forgotten. So irritating.

My feet are a full size bigger (size 4 to size 5).

Stretch marks. I got more with each pregnancy. They've faded but it still looks bad. Granted, I never showed off my tummy before and wouldn't even if the stretch marks weren't there, but I still don't like them.

I'm much lazier than I was before. Part of it has to do with the fact that every time I get up my kids assault me about something so I try not to do it much. Also, I hate having to take 5 kids with me everywhere I go so I don't go anywhere, either. Plus, they walk at a snail's pace which isn't much exercise for me.

On the plus side, I'm tons more patient than I was. I've worked very hard at not getting angry. I still slip occasionally, but I catch myself quick and calm down instantly.

What do you still have left over from your pregnancies/births (besides the kids)?

Hmmm

Stretch Marks

Curly Hair (my hair was not curly until I had Travis)

I have this problem also. Still don't have a fix for it. They did say I could get injections at the site....... Um No! That or Litocain (Sounds like no fun at all).

Melissa! Hi!

Where have you been? How are the kids?

The kiddos are good. Getting big. Faith is talking up a storm. And I'm all excited that Braxton is grasping the concept of Santa this year.

Me on the other had haven't been so good. 10/17/09 I got an Annular tear in my lumbar spine. Hasn't been fun at all. After 2 births that was the most painful thing I have EVERY felt. But it is on the mend now with PT.

How are you and the boys? Geeze it seems like FOREVER since I have been on here. Guess that could be due to working 2 demanding kids and most of my time spent laying on the couch.

MISS ALL OF YOU GALS.
