Such bs that members of Congress, who aren’t doing their job, will still get paid during the govt shutdown. They definitely should not. All other federal workers won’t be paid. And those fed workers need their pay to survive. #GovernmentShutdown

Thank goodness we have Disney+, otherwise my 2 year old would be upset if she couldn’t watch Bluey in the morning.

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Of course the UNC game this weekend is on ABC which we now can’t watch due to @GetSpectrum. Why was there no warning the channels would be pulled.

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

@GetSpectrum You are the only cable provider where I live. All the stations you pulled tonight were pretty much all the stations we watch. We better be getting a huge price cut in our bill. If not, we are canceling. Not worth the price. We will also get internet elsewhere.

@ultabeauty What makes it worse is the site said my payment could not be validated. Yet my bank account was charged for every time I tried. So I had to call my bank to disputes all the charges. Not cool.

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

@ultabeauty you need to fix your site and app. I have been trying to place an order every day since Sunday and it won’t work. It looks like I’m not the only one. Super frustrating.

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

I never thought I would be a second class citizen. I worry for all those women who will needlessly die now. I worry for my daughter’s future. I worry the other rights they want to take away will happen at this rate as well. This is a dark day for America

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Yeah, you lose the baby weight by breastfeeding. What no one tells you is you also lose it by getting a cold each month from your baby that brings it home from daycare. #postpartum #workingmom #baby #weightloss

It was in the upper 70s for the past week. Now it’s snowing. I was wearing flip flops yesterday. It’s so pretty outside at least with the snow falling. I wish baby wasn’t at daycare so I could show her the snow falling.

It sucks that Elf and The Holiday don’t seem to be on regular tv this year. They are my favorites and it’s nice to watch multiple times when you happen across them on tv. #ChristmasMovies

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

I’ve already been up for 12 hours and it’s only a little past 2. Exhaustion has set in and working is getting tough. I am going to crash so hard tonight. Hopefully the baby sleeps tonight unlike last night. #sleep #momlife

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Do you ever wish you could experience a show or movie again for the first time? Right now that is Orphan Black for me. It’s just so good and Tatiana Maslany is amazing. #cloneclub #sestras

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

I’m looking for Christmas stockings that have the first letter of each of our names. It is really making me mad that “V” is either not even offered or already out of stock. Story of my life on “V” items.

For the last week, we have moved out Hailey’s bed time by 15 min every 2 days so by last night she went to bed an hour later than normal. It was a success. She woke up at 6:15 this morning. Her normal time. #DaylightSavingTime #momlife

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

That feeling when you are within 5 pounds of your pre-pregnancy weight and 10 pounds of your pre-COVID weight. #breastfeeding #postpartum #weightloss

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Six weeks in to being a mom. The main thing I’ve realized is I spend the majority of my time on the same spot on the couch. I also don’t know why I bother putting a shirt on. I spend most the day with it off. #breastfeed #momlife

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Almost 40 weeks and we got confirmation the baby is still breech. C-section planned for Wed. It’s getting very real now. I can’t believe she is going to be here in two days. Glad I started maternity leave today. #pregnant

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

I’m due in one week and having a girl. I hoped with Biden winning, a better future would be on the horizon for her. It seems I still have to worry her future may look more like The Handmaid’s Tale if the GOP have their way.

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Add Texas to the list of states I will not live in. First the Gov says schools nor public health can mandate mask wearing. Now no abortion after 6 weeks and private citizens can sue. The dr won’t even see you until 8 weeks. #prochoice

[Valerie Lovko @valfromcal85]

Looks like I can’t go anywhere anymore until July when I am fully vaxxed after the baby is born. The few places I would go, no longer require a mask. I do not feel safe being pregnant and around people who may be anti vaxxers without masks. This sucks.
