How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

You’re Gonna Need a Night Light

in Uncategorized on 05/27/10

Before I had kids….wait, what did I do before I had kids?
Well that is a long list.
Today’s rant…I USED to sleep through the night.
Now, I’m not dumb, I did know that with the birth of my first little bundle of joy, sleeping as I knew it would change. I knew there would be midnight feedings, diapers would need changing, bad dreams would happen, and the awful wake up call of a sick child was inevitable. But what no one ever tells you…what you can never prepare yourself for, ….is the damage done to your bladder!
I have now carried 2 babies who both weighed in at close to 10 pounds. I love them both more then life itself, but the little bums destroyed my bladder.
Today’s confession: It has been more then 8 years since my second dear daughter was born and now…..I cannot make it through the night without a pee.
Sigh.
If you live in the suburbs….you’re gonna need a night light.
Mwah!

PS Since you are up anyway, why not win yourself some pearls? Low entries, ends tomorrow!

      I am currently pregnant with my second, and I must get up atleast four times a night to pee. It is so frustrating. I am always tired! Oh well! At least I know you are up too!

      I guess that is better than your uterus falling out of your vagina……you would need more than a night light

      Hey, I’ve never had any kids and my peanut bladder gets me to the bathroom about twice a night on average since, like, always!

      Ha!! This made me laugh. I hadn’t considered that. I’ll have to remember that when I have kids someday…

      Sucks, doesn’t it? Usually happens when you’re dreaming about Brad Pitt, too. Ugg…

      I also find myself squeezing when I work-out! I’m so afraid one of these days it’s going to come trickling down. Now that would be embarrassing.

      Have a great day!

      Just be glad that you don’t have stress incontinence….oh yeah, I learned that term the hard way. A night light I can deal with..peeing when I cough or laugh too hard..not so much! Courtesy of my lovely big headed ( ginormous brained) beauties!Kegels saved my (social) life:)Happy MOthering!
