yes please!! 44lbs would rock kinda makes me think of that film tank girl - where they suck the water outta ppl and they shrivel up

PIE - kinda mixed results... laying on my back is super painful but when DH gotta good grib and pulled it REALLY helped, but then he couldnt let go cuz it's instantly hurt....cue really UNfrisky awkward man-handling of me to roll off the bed together, while still applying traction, until i could get feet on the floor due to darn leg cramps haha yep, pregnancy ROCKS.

Yup, that's me.

FREAKY SACKS OF WATER UNITE!

I had to have a catheter after DS's birth (lots of tearing), so I'm not entirely sure, but it came out pretty quickly. Like DH had to point out to the nurse that the bag was full, because it never occurred to her that it would be full so soon.
