@Lindsay808 if you are worried about "nipple confusion" from what I've read it us ok to start them on a bottle as well as a boob early.

Mentally I am done with work for the day. Physically I will still be here three more hours.

My pregnancy pillow came in the mail. Best.invention.ever.  Just in time for our snow day.

So much dang anxiety today. Stop it, brain. I've got shit to do.

OMG someone brought in bars made of Fruity Pebbles and marshmallows (similar to Rice Krispies bars). I ate three already and am debating going back to the break room for a 4th...

I was really productive for the first hour and a half of work, but since then I've done almost nothing. I need a nap

Haha I had a good hour or two of work this morning. After that I checked out.

Stace0616

Ugh I wish I could check out this week! End of year means we are swamped and it's almost all confusing tax stuff. I've had Bon Iver on repeat to remind myself to breathe this week

Tonight's plan = changing into PJs as soon as I get through the door and snuggling my Snoogle as I watch episodes of "Upstairs Downstairs". There will also be lots of ice cream. With butterscotch-caramel sauce.

Anyone have a favorite tinted lip balm? I've been using one by Fresh, which i love, but, I hardly ever buy the same thing twice. I like to be able to slather it on constantly!

I like to use Korres Lip Butter and Lip Gloss. It's not sticky and very moisturizing.

Hey I didn't know you did taxes too. I have a tax question. Last year I had three w-2's but only filed one of them. This year will I have to file an amended return or can I just add the two I didn't file last year to this years?

Is there seriously another circ discussion going on that won't die?? Who makes their opinions on such things from an internet forum??

Unless a new one was started, the one I saw, just titled "Circumcision" was a question about which doc performs it, hadn't dissolved into a debate last time I saw it.....of course we all know how fast things like that change....

I was insomniac last night. Its a debate now :-/

My lips are so chapped and dry that they were burning after my lunchtime indulgence in a handful of cuties

4 years old are a nightmare! Holy crap I never would have expected this and I'm at a complete loss as to what to do about DD's behavior. 

I swear if this keeps up its going to send me into labor.

Haha that's because we DON'T do taxes! But everyone needs to squeeze in their year end gifting, are in a panic about dividends/capital gains payouts, etc. So I'm basically fielding a lot of questions we aren't allowed to answer but it takes them 20+ minutes to even explain what they want.

I'd check with a real tax advisor, but I think you'd need to do an amended 2012 return and potentially pay penalties if you owed anything :-/

I'm 17 again. Roads are snowy so she asked us to cancel our plans to see friends tonight. Definitely missing having my own car right now. Especially since mine handles snow like a boss.

Holy sex talk... I dig

SeattleMomma

After a long two week flu.
I finally feel some what normal today. Happy late New Year y'all!!

irisheyez7

I have a headache and feel like poop today. My house is a disaster, both the bathroom and the kitchen really need a good once over. I just can't handle it right now and am going to take a nap. I am really digging the sex discussion but I just don't feel well and can't get into it. I am sure all 3 polls will be loaded with some awesome replies by the time I  get back on in a couple of hours.

Does anyone else notice their heart racing every once and awhile? I'm sure it's just normal pregnancy stuff since I'm pumping extra blood to the baby right now, but holy shit did it feel like my heart was going to jump out of my chest a few moments ago.

I started breathing slowly and it slowed down, but freaked me out a little.

@biggerinreallife are we done discussing December's book or did I miss some discussion questions?

@snmetz7 I took Wednesday off because our discussions were sparse as it is and I figured no one would post on New Years Day. And then I overslept today. Oops!

@mamamonzo I LOVE THE PIC YOU CHOSE FOR YOUR SIGGY!!!

YES! It happened to me last night and it scared the hell out of me! I could feel my pulse racing through the artery in my neck! Glad to know I am not the only one!

I've had this a few times. Annoying! And a little scary! I just assumed I was needing water or in a bad position.

So I woke up this morning on my back, with my left leg tingling. I'm dying, aren't I?

Yes and my neck tightens up too where it is hard to breathe. Feels like a panic attack almost, but with physical symptoms and not in situations where I would be panicky.

I have a heart condition where it skips beats and it's been doing it much more frequently.

Nope! Baby can be pinching a nerve and blood return vein when you lay on your back.

Speaking of tingly limbs, If I stay on one side too long while I sleep, I'll wake up completely numb from my shoulder to my fingers - doesn't matter which side I sleep on, it happens on both sides. Anyone else?

Me too! But when I lay on my back for awhile, I try to roll onto my side and get this horrible sharp pain in my lower back. I can't win

I knew it!!! I'm actually bumping from beyond the grave.

The arm tingles happen to me every night. What's painful for me right now is my RIBS! Every time I cough or sneeze, I want to cry because it's so painful on my ribs. I never had that with DD. 

natpirt

So doc appt was good. I am measuring 2 weeks ahead (so yep LO is now in rib territory). Passed the glucose test, moved into the every two week appt range. Wow I have 14 weeks to go!!! Also had the tube tying convo, this will be my last.
