First time pregnant but NOT first time mom. People need to stop assuming being a stepmom does not make you a mom. Blood does not make you family. Love and dedication does!

You have to understand that not all babies and moms have an easy time with breastfeeding. I tried breastfeeding and expressed colostrum but he lost too much weight and was jaundice so we had to give him formula on his second day of life. …1/2
I had a positive clear blue pregnancy test last week and I already have symptoms. But today I had bloodwork to confirm and now I wait. Wait.... ack!!!! Call me pretty please doctor office.

Went to
#Starbucks
today. Placed my order but then added a sweet treat. My barista said “For the baby?” With the sweetest smile on his face. For the first time I felt pregnant and not just fat!!!!

So excited!!!!
16 eggs retrieved!
16 eggs are mature!
16 eggs fertilized!
I know that not everyone is as lucky as I am, but I am super happy right now.

Twitter is my safe space. My husband knows I have Twitter so it’s not a secret, but no one I know personally follows me. So I feel safe from judgement of my friends, family and most important my skids’ biomom. Does anyone else feel the same way as me?
Why do dads and grandpas get to go to sleep as soon as they are tired? When do moms and grandmas get to go to bed? After the kids are in bed and the chores are done… It just doesn’t seem fair.
@idekariel
We managed to go to only breast feeding within a week, but it was a necessity for us. I know everyone’s story is different but no one should feel bad if they choose to or need to use formula for their child. …2/2
@BekkahWelsh
You had quite the procedure recently. I’m sure it’s just water retention and a lack of sleep. You just have to let your body heal. You got this!!!!
Right now I feel like the worst mom in the world... but maybe it’s the moms who never second guess themselves that are actually bad moms... so does that make me a good mom?

I know this sounds cliché but my family chose me. I did not just marry my husband, I married a family and promised to love and protect them. We were a family before the “I Do’s” and no one can take that away from us
#TwitterStepmoms
Having a teenage step daughter is hard. We love each other, but she thinks I’m an old fuddy duddy sometimes who knows nothing... so right now she’s sulking in her room and I’m wishing I could have a glass of wine, but the fetus inside me disagrees

It’s tax refund night!!! Tonight I go to sleep with an empty bank account and wake up to a not so empty account. It’s like Christmas! Except this is money that should have been mine all along…

We’ve been together 11 years and married for 8. Why do people feel it necessary to ask why we waited so long to get pregnant? It’s our live! Keep your noses out of it!

I’m heading to Jamaica in January!!! This will be my first time EVER going on a vacation like this. We are gone for a week. What do I pack?

I signed up for every free mom giveaway and sample that I could. You end up getting formula samples sent to you. That got me through the beginning when my baby wasn’t latching properly and he needed nutrients fast.
Nothing like rock hard yolks in my sunny side up eggs and burned toast. Did I mention it’s all cold now too? I know that I asked to be a mom, but sometimes a warm meal would be nice too.
I went on

yesterday to order some work appropriate maternity clothes. (I have the “privilege” of returning to the office in September). Ended up also buying our annual Christmas pjs!!!!! It’s less than 5 months to Christmas. This is acceptable right?

Who is this new Blippi in this video? My son doesn’t seem to care but is Blippi taking a new direction? It even looks like they have a Blippi playground/house created.

Update: Day 15 isolation: I haven’t seen my neighbour’s husband in over a week. Not sure if he’s mastered social distancing or whether I should be curious why they’ve started their garden early...
SD16 asked if we could change the living arr. to one week on and off. I brought it up to BM. I guess she realizes the kids can make their own decisions so we officially have 50/50! Unofficially we already had it but SD feels more secure to have it acknowledged by BM.
#coparenting
I don’t normally post like this, but today has been especially hard. I live far from my family and my husband works nights while I work days. I do so much for my stepkids (his kids) and I’m pregnant with my first child. I’m trying to stay positive but I feel so alone.
@jakeriley
I think the first thing I bought online was a claddah ring I wanted. But it never got delivered. So I don’t know if I was scammed or if I didn’t do it right… I also bought a DVD on Amazon when it was a new site. It was the wrong DVD but there were no returns back then.
Baby was born 9 days ago and I am ready to take control of my health! My husband and I both joined

I have a 4 year plan... it involves having a healthy pregnancy, birthing our child, breast feeding for as long as the baby wants, and then take 2 years to lose weight and become healthy enough to qualify for a breast reduction. I honestly cannot wait!!!!
I am 100% convinced my kids will be home until September now. Humans do like being in groups. I shouldn’t complain because my situation could be worse... but I am NEVER alone. NEVER
Love how people keep telling me that the morning sickness goes away at the start of the second trimester. Well world!!! I am well into the second trimester and it’s only getting worse!
#morningsickness
Why is my husband’s response to everything “go for a walk”? I’m tired and overwhelmed and need peace from the kids. “Go for a walk” No!!!! I want to sleep. You take the kids for a walk so it’s quiet please.
I didn’t want to be “that person” who posts so much that they lose followers because they become annoying. But I’m realizing that if I don’t post anything then how will you all know what I’m about and how truly awesome I am?!?!?
Why is the topic of “towels” so hot right now? My husband and I share our towels and wash them when we think it’s time. You wash yourself in the shower, so your towels shouldn’t really be that dirty... if you aren’t clean after you shower then you’re doing something wrong.
So I know this is way in the past, but I am still so proud of myself for going to a job interview 8.5 months pregnant. Not only did I go but I was also offered the position!!! Shows be how fair the company is and non gender biased.
When I feel so alone in this world I come here to connect with others feeling the same way. Together we support each other and remind each other that we are worthy of love and that we really are not alone.
I live in Canada. I have recently learned that is more reliable than for items that require international shipping. Ordered the same item twice on .ca and once for .com. .ca is 0/2 and .com is 1/1 when it comes to delivery.
I think I have an unhealthy addiction to
@makingbabyvav
’s tweets... they come up on my feed first and I respond to sooo many. I promise I’m not a creeper 😋 We just happen to live in the same city and are 1 day apart on our pregnancies. K, I’m a little loopy.
I met a newly single momma with a 5 year old and an 8 month old. The baby is waiting for heart surgery but COVID has caused a delay. I dropped off groceries, toys, clothes and a Christmas tree yesterday for her. I know I’m not curing her son, but I hope it helps.

If my ex texted me after 4 years that he missed me, I’d tell him... “Hope you are well. Here’s a picture of my amazing husband and kids. Oh, and here’s a number for my friend.” What? He was a good guy and my friend could use some pampering and new Jimmy Choos.
I'm 38 and a colleague asked me my opinion on botox. I said that it's not for me. She asked me "Don't you want to look beautiful for your husband?" Yes I do, but I already am and I always will be. He loves me as a package and my wrinkles are a reminder of our life together.
Thanks to anyone who responded to my last post that I’ve since deleted. Someone sent me a resource and maybe it’ll help until I get more professional help.
Today was meet the teacher for SD15. My husband was working so her BM and I went. I’m pretty sure her teachers now think BM and I are a couple.

Everyday when I’m on meetings. I love how this guy made kids walking in on meetings acceptable before we were all told to work from home 🥰

My sister asked me what colour I’m painting the baby’s room... I said he didn’t have a room he was just going to stay in our room... she was shocked. Eventually we moved him to a room but he still prefers our room... oh well
Last thing my husband says before bed “I’ll get up with the baby tonight if he gets up.” Well I gave my husband over 90 minutes to get up with the baby... Now I’m the one up again while he sleeps. What is this?
