Hi! What about a blurb on Eddie taking care of Tooty post Partum

i love this, hope you enjoy it anon

masterlist

a small kiss sweeps against your neck, soft and sweet, followed by a sleepy little moan.

“good morning, baby.”

you roll over and face him, still adjusting to the pull of the stitches in your abdomen wincing as it feels like your muscles are literally being ripped in half.

you grumble and yawn, “no way the sun is out right now, i just laid her back down.”

he loves your sleepy voice, loves the way your hair is tangled into a mess on top of your head, the way your sleep shirt is twisted under you.

motherhood was his favorite look on you. it fit you perfectly and you wore it well. whenever Eddie seemed to be losing his mind not knowing what was going on when both the babies were crying, you were gentle in explaining to him what they needed.

he chuckles into your neck and you find his lips with eyes still closed, kissing him deep, sighing into his open mouth when his fingers cup your cheek.

Six weeks of late nights and spit up stained shirts— you wouldn’t trade it for anything. Eddie had morphed into the biggest softie, nearly crying himself when you trimmed the babies finger nails, never wanting to lay them down when they were sleeping. Wayne was right, he was the best dad.

“you’re so beautiful,” eddie whispers running his thumb over your cheek bone, “my sweet tooty.”

the butterflies for eddie never stopped fluttering and you never wanted them to, he was perfect. you open your eyes and smile up at him.

he’s completely dressed, keys stuffed into his pocket.

“going to the shop this morning?”

“ ‘m taking the babies to go see grandpa and grandma—” you sit up but large hands put pressure on your arms and lay you back down, “nah uh sweetheart, this is daddy’s day out, you just stay put, rest.”

tears well in your eyes and you aren’t sure if it’s from being so tired and drained from lack of sleep or from pure happiness and the thought of sleeping uninterrupted.

“wh—what if they n-need me?” you sob, tears rolling down your cheeks in an uncontrollable flood.

Eddie’s calm voice shushes you, “baby, I packed everything we might need—bottles, formula, diapers, wipes, socks, extra onesies, burp rags.. we will be more than fine.”

you didn’t think they wouldn’t be, but you sobbed even harder. “—i’m go, ugh Eddie! i’m gonna m-miss them.”

the bed dips where eddie sits next to you, rubbing your back, kissing your temple, “you need sleep, honey. it’s the only way you’ll heal.”

it took some more convincing from eddie, but when the front door shut and tires crunched on the gravel, your tears dried, and you hiccuped yourself to sleep— waking in the late afternoon to the smell of fried food and the smoky scent of eddie’s cologne.

“brought some food home,” he said kissing your lips and holding two large drinks and a bag of food in his arms, “wayne and karen wanted to watch the kids for the night…said I looked like hell and should go home and sleep— can you believe that?”

you smirk and his dimples display in his shit eating grin, “diet coke for the lady, and a regular coke for daddy.”

eddie unravels the slick wrappers from each hamburger, handing you a carton of fries as you sit up in bed, joining you with a burger in his mouth like a dog holding its favorite toy.

“regular coke, huh?” you say taking a small bite from your burger, “damn livin’ life on the edge.”

eddie snorts and swallows his food, “right, might even get real crazy and finish the whole thing.”

“eddie the freak munson still has it, ladies and gentleman.”

Eddie’s eyes cloud dark, a smirk on his lips as he walks his fingers under the sheets, towards your inner thigh— knowing full well that you slept in just panties and that oversized shirt these days.

your breath shifts and you swallow hard when his finger tips graze over your clit, a small little hitch catches in your throat and he grins devilishly, leaning down into you, eyes ripping holes into you, swallowing your bated breath as he moves his fingers underneath your panties, and you welcome him with knees pulled apart.

“oh baby… i never lost it.”

Ugh. Reader not beinf in the mood to sleep with Rafe, and she’s like “I bet your trainer would like to”

(continuation of this blurb)

omggg :( she’s at the lowest point of her post-partum blues and so bothered by the gossip and the rumors that when he tries to initiate anything, she mumbles that he should try it on his new girlfriend.

and the worst part of it is that because he’s so tired, physically and mentally and emotionally, he doesn’t even respond. he just turns over in bed, frustrated and hurt that she’d buy into that crap, which makes her feel like he doesn’t care about her enough to deny it and console her :(

Re: bundle of joy - I can't get Sanemi's comment abt how he watched his mom suffer miscarriages at the hand of his father out of my head. What if he saw his mom cry every time she realized she was pregnant again? Like she loved all of her kids, but she knew what their dad would do to them. What if he also helped take care of his mom through her pregnancies and post-partum because his dad never did? I'm just UGH I'm SO SOFT FOR NEMI.

THIS THIS THIS.

Sanemi was the eldest and therefore took on the most responsibility after his mother, and he was a mama’s boy through and through. I think his mother was his single biggest influence. I actually think his early life observing his father’s treatment of his mother plays a huge role in how he approaches Y/N’s pregnancy — and his relationship with her in general.

I imagine that everything he did for Y/N in Bundle of Joy, he learned by helping his mother during her pregnancies. I agree that he probably saw how difficult pregnancy was for his mother (because let’s be real, none of those kids were born from love, and that’s heartbreaking), and has long since promised that if he ever has a child, he will do everything he can for both his kid and their mother. He’s ecstatic at first, but then Y/N says she wants to keep things in the down-low for a bit, and suddenly he’s terrified that he’s done to her what his father did to his mother, and he would rather die than cause her any pain. I think his deepest insecurity is becoming like his father, and while Sanemi can be a hardass and tough, he cannot be anything other than soft for his lover and their children.

I think that after the kid is born (and let’s be real, he is so girl-dad coded), he would take the most parenting inspiration from his mother. Sure, Sanemi is still going to be Sanemi, but both he and Genya idolized their mother. Not only does he love his kid without limit, but I could also see him trying to incorporate her gentle way of parenting, too. He wants his child(ren) to have everything he didn’t when he was growing up, and he will do anything to ensure they get it.

Something that I wish we saw more of in the Sanemi-realm of demon slayer content is more of an understanding of how he treats women in general. I think there’s a tendency to write him along the same lines of how Obanai treats other female slayers apart from Shinobu and Mitsuri, but I’m not sure that’s entirely accurate.

We’re told several times that Sanemi is kind to women, but I don’t think that’s limited to non-Corps women. He observes a lower-ranked female slayer being harassed by M*dea and straight up makes the pig piss himself by yelling so much at him. He doesn’t tolerate any disrespect towards women because Sanemi starts every day by drinking his Respect Women Juice. I’m not saying he’s soft on female slayers, but I think he’s definitely more subdued. He’s not going to level personal/emotional attacks against them because that’s what his father did (along with the physical abuse) and Sanemi hates his father.

Honestly, tempted to explore more of the Bundle of Joy universe — like how Y/N and Sanemi actually meet and get together/their time in their secret relationship, and even as parents. Sanemi doesn’t strike me as someone who sleeps with another without already being emotionally invested in them to some degree, because he doesn’t like to feel as though he’s using them as a means to an end. I would like to write some parallels between Y/N’s pregnancy and his memories of his mothers’ pregnancies and show how they directly influenced him later on. We’ll see!

I HAD A THOUGHT LIKE 2 SECONDS AGO

(forgive me if this is so shitty)

Ballerina Cherry Valance?

she’s loved ballet since she was a little girl and always wanted to go professional (she’s definitely really good)

when she was pregnant with kat she was devastated that her dreams had been crushed (she believed now she would be a mom she could never be enough ☹️)

after kat was born she put on her ballet gear and just broke down in tears because she thought she was ‘ugly’ in her leotard with her postpartum body (i can imagine soda comforting her and telling her “she’s the most beautiful girl in tulsa”)

after a while she gained more confidence and started dancing again like she always used to (when she first danced in front of soda he couldn’t take his eyes off her)

when kat got older she started teaching her some moves and eventually saved enough to get her some classes

i thought of this like 2 seconds ago and i needed to yap to someone about it so here it is

i saw your other ask about me already talking about it but i love this sm i had to share anyway sooooooo

no cause i think about cherry body dysmorphia every day esp post partum ugh!!!! cherry getting back into ballet my beloved!!! anyway this is fire

[zahri-melitor]

Newish Comics:

Batman: the Brave and the Bold #13: God I so want to enjoy the Nightwing and Deadman story (because Dick and Boston hanging out, given their shared backgrounds, is exactly my jam) but unfortunately this is written by Tim Seeley and while there's stuff in it I quite enjoyed it still had the problem where it was full of Seeleyness. You don't need to repeat that Dick is a carny, a traveller, a circus kid so many times, Seeley. We got your point. (Also why are you travelling on a goods train, presumably without paying for the tickets? Is this inherently important to either of you? Dick has a fortune right now and Boston's fine with spending other people's money especially if they're rich or crooks).

The Booster Gold and the Jurassic League story hmmm feels too invested in how outsiders see Booster, rather than Michael's personal competence. Not that that's unusual for a Booster story but it's disappointing. Mark Russell, given your other work I was expecting a slightly defter hand with this, but it's only the opening part of the story.

The Artemis story remains so good. That's all I have to say.

The Bruce and Guy Gardner story has interestingly stylised art (I can tell some people are going to instantly hate it) but I had to laugh at the goofy ears Bruce has on his helmet. Commitment to the aesthetic! (Also lol Roswell and Grey Aliens)

The Perpwalk: oh look it's commentary on killing Joker and why that's bad. It feels very pop psychology.

The Flash #9: I mostly loved this. Wally's continuing to lose it, Jai's still getting the main plot out of twins (which is a nice change as the balance was definitely over on Irey's side during Adams), Barry is also having a breakdown (but different), Hartley gets a quality win, and we are confirmed to be on round two of time travelling Wade (seriously Wade has appeared on more pages, aged up, than he has as a baby so far).

The Wally and Dick stuff is just really...you know how Wally's connection to the Titans saved Donna? And the Titans connection to Wally saved him? And now Dick's helping anchor Wally even as he's trying to drop all of his connections? Ugh it's so good, Dick Grayson will not give up on his best friends.

The bit which really made me sigh was that finally, we got confirmation that Linda has post-partum depression (which has been obvious the last 9 issues), and...it's been aggravated by the Rogues. Deliberately. Ugh. Which is exhausting, but the panels suggested that it was actually based on Linda having existing problems (which made perfect sense, given that among other things, she'd just been sharing the Speed Force with Wade until she lost the connection when he was born. Of COURSE her neurotransmitters and hormones were even more out of whack than your average person after giving birth). But then when Hartley removed the influence from Linda, she suddenly perks up in an 'all fixed!' manner, as if that was all that was needed. And I really really hope it wasn't that simple. (Like, even if you give me a panel when this storyline ends that has Linda telling Wally she's seeing a counselor).

I would, actually, like the comic to have a little bit of a discussion of PPD, rather than just fix it magically via supervillain nonsense ending. Because Linda has lots of basis to have developed it. And she's just had to hand over her baby to stay safe in another crisis situation. It just makes so much sense and could lead to some more interesting storytelling and I just want it to be acknowledged as a real issue, not 'waves wand, all better'.

Green Arrow #12: the hugs edition.

Look. For a story arc that's premise was 'let's get all of the associated Arrow characters out of the various separate ruts (or editorial jail) that they've been in and reunite them on page', with a framing story for why everyone's wheels have been spinning and going nowhere for anywhere up to the last 14 years? It achieved that. It also got almost everyone into a costume that didn't make my eyes burn and am happy having as their default design for a while (Cissie I'm so sorry, yours is not great).

It set everything up for a continuing run and I'm glad that it has been signed off as a continuing and due to Williamson being heavy handed with allowing Waller nonsense in this plot it's going to run through Absolute Power and presumably be able to pick up with some actual ordinary Green Arrow plots.

I just want Williamson to pick up the pace a bit, and give us some one shots and three issue stories once we get back from Absolute Power to justify pulling this huge cast together by using them as more than set dressing for Ollie having a midlife crisis realisation.

The Warlord #54: Travis has a minor breakdown because Ashiya is using the form of his dead wife, Rachel, then realises he's being duped.

Shakira pushes Tara out of danger, proving that despite everything, they don't actually hate each other.

Jennifer is now a super powerful witch who has outpaced Ashiya's teachings and they have a cool sorcery battle:

And we finish off with Travis heading back to Shamballah with Tara and Jennifer staying in the castle to learn more magic (after defeating Ashiya).

[bubbledtee]

bub i dont think ill never stop thinking about those james nd his baby girl thoughts :((( couldn't help but think about this from some kind of monster........

WHAT IF I FELL TO MY KNEES AND STARTED CRYING IN THE FROZEN FOOD AISLE</333 the way the two of them would be inseparable and when james nd you are at the store with her hes always picking up those silly little 'daddys girl' onesies with frilly little flowers and hearts on em and he holds them up to her and asks her which one she thinks would look better on her... shes just babbling to him and ur just like !!!!!!!!!cause you just love them so much!!!!!

and when shes older nd you cant make it to her ballet lessons so james shows up and hes just converses with the other moms as if he *is* one..... like.... "oh that one over there is mine... yeah i know she always gets tripped up on her releves but i think she'll be alright" and the other moms are just staring at him in shock about how much he keeps up with his daughters ballet...

uuugghhhh and when your pregnant and the two of you are lying in bed he's just talking to the lil baby inside your tummy and kissing it all over cause he cant wait any longer</33 not to mention the amount of time and money he spends on the nursery... u come back home from running errands and james is just covered in paint talking about how he has a new changing station coming in the mail because he didn't like how the other one he chose looked too uncomfortable for the baby.....

and whenever she gets up at night he always ushers u back to sleep cause he knows ur so worn out after labor (lets not forget the baby blues and post partum depression :(((( )) so he always tells you he's got it handled (and he surprisingly does cause after a few minutes shes already back to sleep!!!!) and ur just sitting in bed wondering how u could score a man so perfect UGH can u tell that im not okay with these thoughts </333 he's literally soooo sweet carolina by lana del rey.....

it’s too early for me to be crying over having a child with this man. he’d be the perfect father to our little girl.

just imagine when you tell him you’re pregnant. that man is breaking down into (happy) tears and falling to his knees to hug your tummy and kiss it. especially if it’s with death magnetic to htsd era james because he’d have been worried he was too old to get you pregnant. but then his prayers would be answered when he came home from the studio one day and you gave him the best surprise he could’ve ever asked for.

and then at your first ultrasound, that man is an absolute mess. reality would be seriously setting in for him and he’s trying so hard not to bawl his damn eyes out. and when you get in the car to go home he’s just got the biggest, sweetest smile on his face and he’ll just start talking about how you should plan on doing the nursery. he’s also just so excited to tell friends and family he can hardly contain himself.

god and during your labor hes so supportive. he’ll sit with you and rub your back during your contractions, telling you how well you’re doing and how proud he is of you and how excited he is to meet your little girl. when you’re crying from how much pain you’re in, he’s kissing your forehead and trying not to cry himself because he hates seeing you in any sort of distress. but it’s all worth it for the both of you when she’s finally out and you’re both admiring how beautiful she is and the love you both have for her is so strong you can’t stop crying.

i need to stop talking abt this i could go on for hours.

[askinnyminime]

My friend is one year post partum and I'm so mad about her starting to lose weight as I want to but I can't until bubz is born and my supply has settled which is still like 2 months away and ugh its just not freaking fair

Obviously I'm a terrible friend for being a jealous asshole 🙃 but if never let her know I'm mad I still cheer her on and congratulate her on getting out walking is it as bad ? I'm still so fucking angry and I have no right to be which make me feel guilty

[beyourownanchor6]

Our beloved hellsite runs on ducttape and chewed gum for real like a macgyver thing

I used to watch Smallville with my mom and I have sincr rewatched it a couple times. It's s bad it's camp.

Oh i used to love the cw superhero shows. I fell out around the time they did the heroes vs. Nazi dopplegangers crossover special, because seeing mt favorite heroes all decked in ss outfits was triggering to me as a Jew.

Yeah i totally get that.

Shooting star is the glee school shooting episode. It's the worst example of them butchering a serious issue but there were many (suicide, post partum depression, eating disorders...). Yeah exactly. It is an interesting documentary though. I found it curious how they barely dedicated any time to mark salling. Like usually a documentary like that would milk the scandal as much as it could, but they barely touched on it.

Lol exactly!! And thank you. Yeah me too i'm wearing them right now! They make me look like a bearded Velma. I like that.

Oh i look forward to rambling about the bike riders! Ooh my favorite marvel characters or ships... i like Spider-Man, the Scarlet Witch, Agatha, Bucky, Quicksilver, both Captain Americas, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Thor... as for ships, I ship Buck and Steve, mostly, but I also like the thought of most of the guys making out with each other. What about you? And lol i still listen to hannah montana often.

Oh SAME! I'm trying to get back into books without sacrificing much of my fanfic time. It's tricky. And you're right, fanfics are basically endless. Besides, there's the added bonus of "we already care about these characters".

P.s.: are these asks annoying you? Are they too long? Would you rather I dm you?

it really does though, and yet we keep coming back lol.

i think my parents said it got "weird" after a while, and i've definitely stopped other shows for that lol, but maybe one day i'll try it out again.

oof, yea that's understandable. i think arrow was the only one i watched all the way through and i regretted that lmao. they all lost me after a few seasons, but superman and lois has been good all around which was a nice change.

ohhh i completely forgot they did an episode on that! the school shooting ep that always sticks out in my mind is from one tree hill. yea i thought that was weird too. i think since that was so shocking and such a sensitive topic they wanted to steer clear of it? but yea you'd think for the scandal they would've been all over that.

i've thought about writing some fic for the bikeriders, but we shall see! oooh that's a great list! i love thor, bucky, venom, scarlet witch, black widow, hawkeye, echo, both captain americas, and...so many honestly 😄 i think my big marvel ships are sambucky and symbrock, but i did start reading some deadpool and wolverine after seeing the new movie lol

ugh yes!! i told myself i need to catch up on the fics i have open and then make a point to read some actual books. my goal is 20 for the year so i still have 10 to go lol.

not annoying me at all! and i am ok with whatever! i put read more incase it's annoying anyone else lol. but i am good with whatever works for you 😊

[mrdragonageherself]

I got TWO FUCKING MONTHS post partum before I got a period UGH I was bleeding for the first month anyways!!! To quote Malcolm in the middle - life is unfair :(

[soft4gguk]

I’m guessing Ira had some post-partum depression going on and went to work on herself. I just know it will hurt when she returns asking for a second chance. From the minor descriptions of her, it sounds like she truly loved JK but the glint in her eyes changed once she found out she was preggo. Perhaps she might have had some childhood trauma in there as well that exacerbated her postpartum. Curious to know her backstory . I don’t want to make excuses for her but that’s what I’m leaning on based on how nicely you’ve painted her in the fic.

JK needs a little awakening to be honest . OC’s goodness has been too good. Can we throw in another fine ass man trying to get OC’s attention that will make JK jealous.

There’s lots to unpack with OC as well. I feel she’s lost a sense of herself in JK. She hasn’t pursued her career outside her temporary position of the nannying because she’s madly in love and her career has taken a back seat. This shows her age. Her frontal lobe hasn’t fully developed but she also needs some time to discover herself outside of JK, even if they become exclusive , she needs to find that balance

no. oc needs YOU! wow. this was so insightful I loved it so much. I feel like she could really benefit from all of this, word by word. oof, let me start from the beginning. ira!! yes. she truly loved him. they loved each other very much. they were looking forward to their future together so much and then the circumstances were cruel to them. there is so much I don't know about these topics on motherhood, but I always try to take them on with compassion, so I'll always try to paint her in a good light when talking about the past!!

jk DOES need an awakening omg. I want to grab him by the shoulders and shake him lolol. also, the amount of you that want to see that man suffer and have to compete for her attention makes me GIGGLE.

now, when it comes to oc... yes. I agree. but ugh. isn't that the oldest story in the world? don't we get lost in the people we love? isn't submission a part of being young and in love? she's so young. oftentimes when I write her, I have to remember that she's young!! and I have to tune into my twenty three year old self. and yes, it's not the most sensible approach to things but I think it's the only way she'll learn and find herself. balance is key. also a fully developed frontal lobe, but that's in biology's hands not hers!! lmaooo

thank you for this message!! I loved answering it so much <3333

[girlishwhimsies]

cherry is struggling wishing she had a woman in her life to help her navigate her pregnancy/post-partum. two bit’s mom is close but she needs a village

YUP!!!!!! like she loves mama matthews but she wants her own mom so bad. she wants her mom to kiss her scrapes and put bandaids on and guide her through this cause she feels like she floundering. in my mind cherry and her mom were pretty close for a few years and all she can think about is her mom and how this could be her and Kat one day, no longer talking only looking back on memories and that would only spark even more tears than before!!!!

as much as she loves her mom tho she’s so scared of turning out like them i have YAP sessions on that one!!!

ugh cherry you deserve so many older maternal women standing behind you

[jtthompson]

This is SO meaningful to me, genuinely and earnestly. The amount of fics I read where the reader DOES NOT want a baby, wants an abortion, but at the last second they decide to not go through with it. At this point "abortion" in a fic means discussions of abortion, because it. Doesn't. Ever. Happen!!!

It's like when a fic mentions "pale skin", it just snaps me out of the moment. (Hm, yes my pale skin🤳��🤚🏾). It's like a dissonant note in the middle of a song, and you've gotta keep going KNOWING it's already...tainted isn't quite the word. It won't be perfect, that wrong note sticks with you.

That's what I feel when a reader goes from "i have to end this pregnancy" to fucking painting a new nursery in what feels like moments. They mentally list the reasons they cannot have a baby then they set them ALL aside within a chapter.

I don't want kids. If I ever do, adoption is great. But no children are growing inside of me then being brutally pushed out after MONTHS (then comes post partum! But also I'm black, so like...am I even surviving the birth?-Folks still die giving birth, but legitimately rates that BIPOC folks are dying, are different than white folks.)

The only time I had a pregnancy scare (pfft, fucking head empty ass, my periods had been irregular nearly my whole life to that point, with skipped months not being weird. Me being "late" was the norm!!), I recalled the Planned Parenthood that my bus to work goes by and how I've never seen protestors outside. I was looking up sick/vacation days and starting to plan how I could end a pregnancy. It wasn't ever a question. It was thee next step.

Not everyone "agrees with it", but abortion is still an option! Even if made illegal, that just means back alley abortions, harking back to decades past. Though they never truly fully stopped.

A reader who makes the choice I would!?? Omfggggg. And I read the Bucky one too and there might also be a Steve one!? Like, GIRL (exclamation in a gender neautral kinda way), MY FAVES!? MY MAINS, are out here supporting readers' right to choose!! How upset they got realizing reader thought this would change their relationship. They're upset because reader is upset AND because not supporting reader wasn't even a thought!! So the fear and worry, while boyfriends' are like, "woow!! Feel your feelings but like?? I'm in love with you?? And it's your body. Of course I'm not upset!!".

FUCK, even Damian's appearance. I just KNEW this was when it would turn. Bruce and Alfred would find out and then that's when the sun would shine just so and the reader would suddenly want a child. BUT INSTEAD, THAT LIL ANGERY ROBIN BROUGHT COOKIES AND A CAT. HE SHOWED HE CARED WHILE STILL GIVING THEM ROOM!! HE BROUGHT HER A FUCKING CAT, ugh that's so meaningful especially from DAMIAN. He loves his pets. Damn.

So THIS! IS SO GOOD!!

Also my Capricorn moon ass when Jason started planning logistics 🥵 OOF.

Anyways, this was SO SO SO SO lovely!

Also just the softness and realness you write with!! LOVING your work. Omfg.

my body is a cage.

ObNeSummary: Y/N’s worst nightmare has become a reality. Her only saving grace is that she doesn’t have to do it alone. 

Pairing: Jason Todd x Fem!Reader

Warning: Feminist Issues, Adult/Mature Themes (NOT smut)

Y/N could feel her heart start racing faster as she studied the doctor’s office. Now she was starting to sweat as well. 

Her doctor were running late and that meant Y/N was stuck looking at the nondescript walls and smelling that sterile scent for 20 minutes. It felt like an hour. 

It was just a follow-up appointment. There was no bad news expected to be given. But that didn’t stop Y/N’s anxiety. 

Y/N finally gave up on trying to calm herself down through breathing and reached down to grab her cellphone out of her purse. 

There was a two text message notifications: one from her mom and one from Jason. 

She opened the one from Jason. 

– Good luck at your appointment today. Remember to breathe. 

Y/N smirked at the message. Jason knew how stressed out Y/N got for literally any type of doctor’s appointments. Even if it was just your usual checkup – like today – it caused her anxiety for some reason. 

Jason must’ve sent it right before passing out after patrol.

always surprised by where parents take their kids but not like in a UGH I HATE KIDS WAY but in a wow you can manage your baby? kind of way.

I love my son but truly I can't go anywhere without it all being about him and timing things correctly and making sure I'm somewhere where there a space I can change his diaper in. I was genuinely surprised by how many places didn't have one. Like, I went to the OBGYN at the 60 day post partum mark and took my baby. They looked at me funny for asking if there's a bathroom with a changing table anywhere. In the hospital my baby was born in.

[mandy-malady]

Hahahahah. The girl who my ex cheated on me with cheated on him and got pregnant with the other guy and now the guy's gone and cheated on her after she had the baby and she's like "cheating on a pregnant or post partum woman is just weird"

Like huh????? You are not the innocent you are making yourself out to be, dearie.

Ugh where's that meme with the guy sticking a stick into the spokes of his bicycle wheel

[neonthoughtsforever]

my feet were hurting SO BAD after work yesterday since I think I only sat for about 30 minutes throughout the entire 12 hour shift (I used the time during my "lunch break" to catch up on charting so I got to sit for that, otherwise I only leaned over my computer to check and see what other stuff needed to be done). I'm off work tonight so I soaked my feet in a hot water/lavender scented Epsom salt bath for about 15 minutes, cleaned them up with a pumice stone, put Vaseline on my feet, gave them a little massage for about a minute or two each, and put a clean pair of socks on. Now I'm just letting my skin soak in the moisture while I have a small cup of coffee and scroll through tumblr. Around 5am I'll take a shower and head to bed with a clean body and better feeling feet and yeah long post just basically saying little acts of self care make me feel so nice and it's worth it to do something nice for yourself!!

(complaining under the cut, don't feel like you need to read if you want to end the post on a high note!!)

I just hope I can sleep pretty well for work tonight since we're already anticipating a total shit show. The hospital is at maximum capacity with the only open floor beds being on OB/post-partum. Even the ICUs are full (we had to keep a patient that was ventilated for so long, we ended up extubating in the ER which is pretty much unheard of). Hopefully they worked on discharges today so we have beds over the weekend because people are SO SICK and they don't deserve to be sat in the hallway for 40 hours like my sweet little nana I had last night!!!! She deserves a proper hospital room that's dark and quiet so she can sleep!!! Ugh, sorry, long post and getting longer if I complain about America's healthcare system so I'll stop now but yeah, I never post personal stuff on here but here it is folks
