I thought I could make it

There is just one thing, well no there are many things that I have been blessed with when I became a mom. One of my favorite things is the fact that my bladder is not what it used to be. See we were at the grocery store the other day. I had all three kids with me and I was trying to get everything I needed so I could get home and go pee. But then it hit. I have to go and I had to go now. Which really sucks because it's a lot of work to take everyone out take them go to the bathroom and then load them all back. But there was no option anymore. My body said now or else. So I get into the bathroom, I am doing the potty dance and as I am desperately trying to lock the door and then... I pee my pants. Not full on but enough. I just could not hold it. I am in the stall and I could not get to the toilet fast enough. I love being humbled! Again just another little confession of a mom.

You are not alone! :)

When I sneeze, I wet my pants. Every time. No amount of kegel exercises will ever take that away at this point. I'm kind of scared about what state I'll be in by the time #3 gets here. I'll probably spend the rest of my life in Depends.

Praise Jesus!!! I'm not the only one. I didn't even know I had to pee but I laughed at a Christmas party and totally peed in my pants - only a little but enough to be uncomfortable. This is the price I pay for having four kids... or it's one of the prices I pay... come to think of it, it's one of the smaller prices I pay! Glad I'm not alone in the "wet your pants" club. Word to the wise - never get in a bounce house or on a trampoline!

One of the many reasons I am terrified of having children. Not raising. I'd adopt and be happy as a pig in mud. It's the whole birthing/pregnancy process that freaks me out.

welcome to the glorious club!

Finally, real honesty..

Thanks..Been there done that

[shan]

that's great...sorry, i got a good laugh at your expense. i know what you mean, it is so hard to decide what to do when your out shopping with the kids and have to pee (or, in my case #2...if you remember my "condition" i revealed in one of my prior posts). and the comments kaia starts to say as i'm doing the pee pee dance, she doesn't let it remain a secret, she makes sure everyone around us know that i'm having issues. i aggree, elissa...i love trampolines and it's just not the same either! :( oh well, kids are worth it.

[Debbie]

As I was reading, I really hoped you weren't going to say that...
Did you tell the kids?
Did they find it amusing?

Oh I'm sorry.
Been there, too...
And I'm sorry.

[Jacinda]

your honesty kills me. I love it!

[Jessica]

Peeing or being peed on, it's all part of being a Mom. Thanks for keeping it real H!

[alicia]

Hilarious - I always try to hold it like it's going to go away - but it doesn't. Yeah, the beauty of motherhood.

This might be TMI, but since we're blogging homies, let me keep it real. When I had my last daughter, I noticed things were a little "off" down there. I could feel something that wasn't supposed to be there. Kind of like when you are about to give birth and you can kinda feel the head popping through (yeh, I felt it--hey, I had homebirths!). Well, when I went for my 6 week check up, I asked the gyn what the heck it was. She said IT WAS MY BLADDER pressing down into my uterus which was then pressing down into the vajayjay. HOLEY SMOKES. To be honest, it really creeped me out. She said it would eventually go back to normal and thankfully, it has. However, I go from oh, I have to pee to OHOOOOHHHH I HAVE TO PEE NOOOOOOW in like ten seconds.

I need to buy stock in pantyliners!!! Those are a mama's best friend. LOLLLOL

[Ronni]

Always pantyliners... believe it or not hold more than you think... yeah. LOL. Girl... your honesty made me almost spit mountain dew this afternoon...LOL. But it happens to us all. :)

[Jenny]

That was too funny! The good news is after they reach a certain age you can look at them and say..."stay right here I have to RUN to the bathroom!" Of course then they sigh, roll their eyes and text their friends!

[Kathie]

Just one question???? Did you take the pix before or after ;*)

[Rhi]

yep, i know the feeling. isn't having kiddos grand! hehe

[Rhi]

yep, i know the feeling. isn't having kiddos grand! hehe

i haven't noticed in cali ever, but out in KC, MO, there are little seats with belts on them in the stalls for your kid. wouldn't help you much with 3 but I liked when I found one. I now loathe doing cause Izaiah doesn't walk yet so I have to hold him while I go. I WILL NOT let him sit on a public bathroom floor. oh the joy of it... =0)

[Albee]

For the record, there is such a thing as "too real."

[Rebecca Boganwright]

Hysterical. Thanks for being the one that would actually post that. I love it. I second the ones who say that its that kind of stuff that freaks me out about the whole kid thing.

[Brittney]

I had C-Sections for both my girls. I have no idea what you're talking about...yeah right! :)

[Jennifer]

I know how you feel! I have peed my pants more times then I care to recollect.. LOL!! After having 3 big babies thats the damage. I am going to have to have surgery, my sis had it and she doesn't pee her pants anymore! :)
