TROPHY CASE

Just a pair of gloves made of human skin. by Jesselivermorein WTF

Human skin makes TERRIBLE leather.

Let's hear it for the bottle babies! by ValkoSipuliSuolain beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 5 points6 points ago

Ya know my opinion? Fuck anyone who tells me what my body is supposed to do and what it isn't. It's MY body. If it doesn't work to breastfeed because it has issues well that's my problem not anyone elses business.

I have exclusively bottle fed my son since three weeks and he is just FINE!

Toke n' Touch!! Probably NSFW. by maxter11in entwives

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 1 point2 points ago

Hahahaha! Thought I was the only one who used the phrase "flicking the bean"

No suggestions for erotica, I have and EXCELLENT imagination and don't use those kinds of aids.

Just a little post of solidarity, you are not alone. There are other bean flickers out there. We DO exist! dies laughing

[Update]: Today is the day it begins; hometown murder trial. by greenwomanoftheriverin entwives

[–]greenwomanoftheriver[S] 2 points3 points ago

that was part of the plea deal. It took murder one down to the manslaughter charge. That's the injustice system for you.

Feeling so disposable in the wake of a breakup. Tell me some uplifting "How I Met My Ent" stories? by widdly314in entwives

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 2 points3 points ago

I'm sorry for the news. Try to remember that everything happens for a reason though. Even running late that morning when nothing is going right could save your life. It's happened to me. If I would have been a little faster getting out the door one morning I would have been caught up in a nasty three car snarl instead of witnessing it from the traffic light up the block. Try to stay positive even though the situation blows.

Also, I have a little story to share about meeting my ent since you requested it.

I spent two year struggling as a single mom in the big city before I gave it up and decided to move back to my little hometown. I was devastated, my fiancee down there broke up with me because I couldn't find a job after losing mine and pretty much forced my hand into having to come home. I felt like such a loser, a failure, an unloveable woman.

I came home in a really dark place. I was honestly contemplating suicide for the first time in my life. The first thing I did was ask a friend of mine where to find "the good stuff" because I wasn't gonna smoke any of that valley schwag shit that is so prominent around here. He told me the name of the person who had "the best" and I scoffed saying "I know that dude, he's a jerk, he was friends with my ex husband and is a total alcoholic." My buddy assured me that he had changed though and that he was working with the medical program now, all I had to do was get my card and he could hook me up anytime.

So, I took my chances. I got to know C. as a new person, not the drunk who was friends with my ex. I was amazed at how much we have in common, how our future goals met up and how our personal philosophies on religion etc are so closely matched. It was pretty obvious fairly quickly how things were going to end up happening. When he took me to see the gardens and kissed me under the marijuana trees, (those plants were like mutant huge) I knew that he was going to be mine and I was going to be his.

We have been together almost two years now. It has easily been the happiest and most peaceful two years of my life. He is perfect for me, and says I am perfect for him. He treats my oldest son like his own, and our happy accident Emery was born the end of January. I feel like I've been very, very blessed. I came out of a place of utter despair and loss and everything turned out better than expected!

I hope the same for you, my friend.

tl;dr: stupid boy breaks my heart and requires me to move. I fall in love with a gardener under his marijuana trees. Everything is OK!

So we've decided to have an abortion. It feels surreal. by Thankfuldecisionsin TwoXChromosomes

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 1 point2 points ago

I know just how you feel. I just had my second child (an accident, although a happy one) and I have NO desire to have more. I was stoked about my almost ten year old being halfway grown and the idea of being "free" by forty was appealing. Now I'm starting all over again, and while I don't regret it... I know I don't have any desire to do it again. Pregnancy sucks and I got lucky that at 30 I didn't keep every single pound I put on. Being an anorexic as well... I just can't handle another pregnancy, it's too much. I've already told my hubby that if we have another accident I'm not keeping it. He was a little shocked, but after I explained to him that I can't physically or psychologically do it again... plus he's seeing the cost of a baby; he totally understands.

I applaud you for making the right decision for yourself and your family even though it's a very hard one to make.

Exhaustion rant... by Riven180in beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 0 points1 point ago

Find a sitter. Get out of the house. Even if it's just for an hour to the store, or for a walk. Take some alone time, or take your honey. Either way it sounds like you need some decompression time. Which is totally okay.

Questions from a Bumper to anyone who had an epidural. by Happy_Kittehin beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 0 points1 point ago

I could still feel the contractions, but no pain until I was fully dilated. Then it was still bearable contractions and the baby coming out just felt like TONS of pressure.

update; off-brand vs. name brand diapers by babeh_makerin beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 1 point2 points ago

When my 10 year old insists on trying to change the baby, this is always how the diaper ends up. I usually fix it when he isn't looking to avoid hurting his feelings.

I've had good experience with the costco kirkland diapers. We haven't had any issues at all with them.

Wow, 70's weed looks terrible. by Tobisluin trees

I'm not lying when I say that I would flush that shit.

In honor of timeforstars...What's the dumbest/funniest/most brainless thing your SO has said regarding the phenomenon that is pregnancy? by AgentPeain BabyBumps

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 1 point2 points ago

I'm proud of you for cutting down too! It's very hard for some people.

Baby and I are great. He's a fat little bubbly guy and is hitting all his milestones so far. No heath issues yet other than he's already teething and had a little fever for a couple nights. :)

Not as gross as I feared... by purplepeachin beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 1 point2 points ago

My pinkies are small enough to pick my babies nose. I've got his back!

Post baby belly question... by Tweekachoo2in beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 0 points1 point ago

You will get there! Lots of water and as soon as you can, start walking. Pushing a stroller uphill is great exercise.

I got the beband, but other than holding my pants up... it didn't do anything for me. Getting active asap is your best bet.

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 2 points3 points ago

hey now, if it's one cig a day so she can poop and doesn't have to choke down something that makes just about anyone sick... I don't see the difference between that and those women who have the "occasional" glass of wine over pregnancy. We're all in the same boat here, but not everyone is equipped to handle it in the same way.

ETA: I'm a little sensitive about this because everyone yelled at me my whole pregnancy about quitting smoking, and I tried really hard... I cried about it all the time because I just couldn't completely quit. My doctor at delivery told me that she has never said this before but smoking probably kept my son from getting too big and gave me the ability to go to term. If I hadn't smoked she said that at his rate of growth he would have gained at least another two pounds... making an 11 lb baby which we don't think that I could have safely delivered. Tobacco is a tough thing to quit, even if you are pregnant. Especially if you have been doing it for a long time. And that's my two cents.

this made me just about die laughing. My hubby said something similar and then caught himself right away with a "nevermind, that was stupid."

DUMB HUBBY TRICKS!!! by redqueenswrathin BabyBumps

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 0 points1 point ago

don't be surprised if she gets them a lot after she is born as well. My womb dweller was a hiccup machine, and it continued for the first three months, he doesn't get them nearly as much now though.

Anyone else making up silly baby songs? by greenwomanoftheriverin beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver[S] 2 points3 points ago

you could always mix in a few swear words... blame tourettes.

I do the same thing though, make a sillybaby noise in public... hide in shame... repeat.

Today is the day it begins... and I'm scared. by greenwomanoftheriverin entwives

[–]greenwomanoftheriver[S] 1 point2 points ago

It was very scary when we found out it was him. He went to the beauty school with Kenzi and many other girls. It could have been any one of them. And if he hadn't gotten caught Kenzi would have been the first but not the last. He was also living in the basement of the business that shared property lines with the place I was living at the time. So when swat came in and grabbed him and then there were lab trucks all over and investigation tape... it was really frightening knowing my son was playing in the backyard adjacent to where he parked his car...

It does seem like there is no way he can walk with her blood found in his apartment, but his lawyer is as shady as they come. If you are interested you can google her name and tons of news articles will come up about it. It's been a horrifying case for the town and I will be glad when this is all said and done.

Justifiable Homicide? by cariboumustardin beyondthebump

[–]greenwomanoftheriver 2 points3 points ago

I was tempted to smother my husband last night. I made sure to go to bed early because I haven't slept well in weeks and I knew he had to work today which leaves me with my homeschooled ten year old and little 4 month Emery, and four frickin dogs underfoot... it's enough to try Mother Theresa's patience. I got about three hours of sleep before he came to bed and because his neck is out proceeded to flop around like a snoring fish with flailing elbows.

I ended up sleeping on the couch, he's going to the chiropractor today.
