Bad Girl/Bump or Good Girl/Bump?

A little baby bump came out for the first time 2 weekends ago on a weekend night. I was like oh whoa! The next day it went back in. For a whole week, that tiny [I say tiny not to say I'm tiny, but because when I just say baby bump some people got overly excited :[ baby bump was gone. Ok.... Then this past Friday, it came back out!! And the next day, it went back in and I don't have my baby bump anymore. I promise I'm telling the truth, lol. Couple of my girlfriends and my husband know what I'm talking about bcos they felt it that one night, then it was gone, and then felt it Friday night again. I think it's because on those particular days I ate A LOT.

So as a joke:
I said, "Colette is such a "nah rah rhee" party girl diva who only makes appearances on the weekends! What a bad girl."
My husband defends Colette saying, "Coco is a good girl - she studies during the week and ONLY comes out on the weekends!"
Lol we're both obviously just joking, but dang my husband was quick to be on her side and see her from a positive light, hahaha!

Between the hours of around 2:30-5:30pm, I can eat a meal [not big meal] every hour! I dont know what it is, but around the afternoon times I extra hungry! Yay :D Colette is super hungry then!

Postpartum by Lucie's List

I really liked this post, and wanted to share!

I dont know why, but I totally cracked up at this:

"A few hours after Lucie was born, I finally fell asleep when there was a loud knock at the door. "Cookies?" he said. Seriously? Yes, the cookie man was making the rounds (what?). "No, I don't want no damn cookies -- trying to SLEEP IN HERE! Been up for about 32 hours. Just had a BAY-BEE, hellllooooo.... oh wait, cookies?? yah yah yah, I'll take three. Don't mind if I do. HOM-Nom-Nom.... I may be tired, but I'm not crazy."


She also put this in here which I think will be of great use in the future! http://astore.amazon.com/lucslis-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=2




On a side note, I'm petrified of postpartum depression and the labor recovery. Labor doesn't scare me as much. It's [1] the aftermath in the hospital, [2] the first couple weeks recovering, and [3] first couple months.
