Years ago I went over to a friend’s house some time in the afternoon on a weekday and she answered the door in sweats. She had recently become a stay-at-home-wife and told me she was turning into a shlumpadinka. She was less embarrassed about her outfit/non-bathed appearance than appalled that I had no idea what she was referring to.
From weeks 9-14 of pregnancy, I was a shlumpa. I had heard of this stage but never thought it would happen to me-the girl with the daytime energy of an annoying hummingbird. I barely made it downstairs in the morning to eat breakfast, dragged my body and dog on a walk and then plopped on the sofa for the remainder of the day.
Outfit staples and position of choice.
These shoes were the only clothing item purchased for the first couple months of pregnancy.
The only stuff that sounded good was…
My couch buddy.
So now that my energy’s back, I’m putting forth the effort.
…until the post-baby shlumpadinka phase. Cheer me on!

LOL! You are too funny! I love this new term, I’m going to use it – there are days I’m exactly like this, but I don’t have the excuse of being pregnant, so I think it’s just plain laziness. haha! You deserve to shlumpadinka, lovely mama!! (am i using the term correctly?? LOL!)
Julie Maguda says
haha!! I’ve never heard the term shlumpadinka but I love it! I definitely have a bad habit of wearing sweats all day every day. I keep telling myself I’ll stop but I haven’t yet! lol

It is a tough habit to shift! Going out to buy more of these uniforms was an all time low! LOL I need like a Juicy suit or something. Thanks for stopping by!

I tell ya, I’m 8 years into having kids and there are days I still shlumpadinka! But I’m happy you’re currently out of it and back out in the real world! However, now that you posted pictures of donuts I’m mentally battling the urge to get some for myself! Thanks for that… Haha
Christina Warren says
LOL-thank you, Krista! Donuts have always been my downfall but now I feel like I need them like water. There is one shop in Santa Monica that I am into and I’ve been there twice during pregnancy….we’ll see how the rest of this plays out!
