Ugh feet!! I think mine actually took a year or so but definitely a full size larger now.

All of me got wider. Hips which I didn’t notice bc my waist got so wide. My shoulders bc my old shirts became midriffs. My feet. My fingers. All of it. So I kept wearing maternity jeans after my second. Who is now 4 years old and I’m still wearing maternity jeans.

Yes, your pelvic bones shift. Some folks feet change permanently, and in my case I got curly hair for the first time- and it’s lasted over 10’years so I guess this is my hair now.

No to hips, but yes to feet. And my belly is different. Trying to figure out if it’s a muscle tone thing, a fat distribution thing, or a looser skin thing. And I’m below my pre-preggo weight.

If you figure it out, let me know!

No. I didn’t notice a difference in wideness. Nothing changed, except stretch marks of course.

Yes, my shoulders, ribs, hips, thighs and feet got wider. I went through the same problem, lost weight but still didn’t fit into my clothes.
Basically, almost everything got wider but my boobs that shrunk and became saggy after breastfeeding 🥺😭

Now I wish I’d taken diameter measurements of my whole body. No wonder I’ve not recognized myself. How could I?! And I didn’t even know the ribs/shoulders thing was a thing! This should be more commonly discussed. Put it on the list....

I'm trying to estimate the floor of vaccinations to get a sense if the "100 million doses in 100 days" is even possible:

Assumptions
> Approx. 6000 hospitals in the US
> 40 people in a hospital waiting room per hour
> 6 hour workday

= 240 people vaccinated per day x 6000 hospitals
= 1.4 million people vaccinated per day

US bought 100 million of Moderna doses in Aug and additional 100 million doses of Pfizer in Dec = 200 million doses available in total

Am I thinking about this the right way?

Never tell your wife to calm down. That won’t go well for you.

Instead, turn it into a question like “does someone need a time out?” Much less confrontational that way.
