  • Got a doozy today, ladies. Coworker: how is your daughter doing? Me: she's great! She's two now and we have another on the way. Him: really? you know I was looking at you the other day and thought, "Wow. She's really having trouble getting the baby weight off." Me: That doesn't make me feel good at all. Him: Why? Now I…

  • On my second pregnancy now and due on November 16. I have a sweet toddler and a (thankfully) supportive husband who has taken up more household duties since I've been going through the first trimester symptoms. We both work and care for our daughter and are looking forward to the next one joining our little family!

  • Thank you, ladies! It's just nice to know that I'm not alone.
