If you had to be another dwellar who would it be? - Page 7

Well I guess anyone who's into boobs would like pregnant chicks considering the epic proportions they grow to. lol

Clodfobble · 08-24-2008, 08:03 PM

And it's so sad when they eventually go back to normal...

xoxoxoBruce · 08-24-2008, 08:12 PM

No no, it adds variety.

Aliantha · 08-24-2008, 08:37 PM

I don't know about that Clod. Mine never shrunk after my first couple of kids. That could have something to do with me getting preggers with my second one only 6 weeks after giving birth to the first and then just carrying a bit of extra weight ever since then. Before i had the kids I was a nice manageable C cup, but ever since I've been at least a D, sometimes double. I hate to think what I am now, so I'm just poking myself into my old bras for the time being.

I think also because I had no luck with breast feeding, I didn't get so much of that saggy look after the kids. I've decided to avoid the disappointment this time round and just go straight to formula, so with any luck, I'll still have nice boobs after I guess.

Ali -- I breastfed and I don't think it affected mine in a negative way. I think it has more to do with gaining/losing weight, not nursing. I'm such an oddball, I didn't gain any weight with either of my babies. Nada. 'Course, I was on a diabetic diet, and that helped.

I have gained quite a bit since, though... (sigh)

I gotta say, I'm a BF advocate...give it a shot, it is SO much easier. And just because you had no luck last time, doesn't mean you won't now. My first didn't want anything to do with it, but my second was a champ.

And since I haven't said it yet, Congratulations!

Um, maybe I won't be you just now, after all.

I would be ... Griff.

Grifftopia is very close to my Utopia, although too much of the house is above ground (at least as far as he's let on).

skysidhe · 09-01-2008, 06:28 PM

The two other people I would also like to be are:

zippyt http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=480019&postcount=2034

and Crimson Ghost because ...well I don't really know. I guess because he is a ghost. No one thinks badly of ghosts.

Thanks for the advice Juniper, but I've made my decision already. Besides, formula feeding makes it very much easier to allow someone to babysit when necessary, specially if you're a woman who doesn't make enough milk to express. My two older boys seem to be doing very well even though they were never breast fed, so I don't really believe all the hype about it anyway even though there are plenty of advocates who will quote a million studies as to the benefits.

Each to their own.

footfootfoot · 09-02-2008, 05:50 PM

There is a bit of backlash from the pro breast feeding groups which some mothers who can't, or for their own reasons choose not to breastfeed, say makes them feel badly about their choice.

If it works for you then great, if it doesn't don't feel guilty or paranoid about it even though the la leche types are talking about yu behind your back and suddenly grow silent when you walk into the room. Act as though it were a normal lull in the conversation and had nothing to do with you.

Then hit them with, in as loud a voice as you can muster without shouting,
"How dare you axe me with your moral judgements you cow?"

That'll fix 'em.

Mrs. Foot "took one for the team" as they say, she breast fed and she feels her dowas are the worse for the wear and she would sooner vote for McCain than have a boob job (I recuse myself) but that's her chioce.

Her best friend had one boob which didn't work at all and the other one didn't produce enough milk to feed hibernating chipmunk so she fed formula. It's all good, the baby is fine and alert and healthy, so as they say in my neighborhood "Don't believe the hype" http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ASjH7X-jAY4

Rock on! Dowas rewl! [/nutkin]

footfootfoot · 09-02-2008, 05:54 PM

Oh and for the record I'd, if I had to be another dwellar, I'd be all of you. There's a lot of love in the room tonight and I feel it too.
I'd be the cellar. But I'd have a little corner that was always damp, especially when it rained and I'd put a sump pump there and that's where I'd keep Marichiko, rkzenrage, and other dwellars who've been banned for general nutkinness to the nth degree. spammers and others like that would still go into the burn pile and not the compost.

lookout123 · 09-02-2008, 05:57 PM

with Lil Lookout Mrs L breastfed but had a hard go of it. We think now he just ate too inconsistently for things to work properly. She had the boobs done three years later. 2.0 breastfed like an absolute champ. we were kind of worried because we'd heard the hooter expansion packs could make it harder... but they worked like a charm.

that's my breastfeeding story. next?

Aliantha · 09-02-2008, 05:59 PM

That's nice of you to say foot3, and my condolances to your wife after the distressing loss.

I'm pretty comfortable with my choice to be honest. I put up with all the cracks the last couple of times around, and I was far less prepared for it then than I am now. I just hope the baby is healthy and happy. Everything else is secondary at this point.

classicman · 09-02-2008, 09:44 PM

God attitude Ali. I think today with all the technology we have and as advanced as we are.... everything will be just fine.
