Oh no! So disappointing. I would definitely cry. But you get to see your baby tomorrow and that is always amazing times. Hang in there.
Can someone tell me how grown ass women at my work office manage to pee on the toilet seats? It's not like once in a while; it's all the freaking time! I'm so annoyed every time I go to the bathroom and go often now.
They don't sit down, they squat over the toilet and aim badly. I figured out who the culprit was at my last job and tormented her until she at least wiped up after herself. It's not that gross for your skin to touch the seat if people who are so paranoid about didn't make gross messes trying not to touch the seat!
THIS. I mean, if I went over to any of my coworkers houses would I squat over their toilet because I was so afraid of cooties?? No! (Well, exception for that if one of them is a freaky, secret hoarder or something....)
Plus, the cleaning staff disinfects the restrooms every night. I'm sure the toilets there are way cleaner than my toilet at home - if everyone would just set their butt on the damn toilet and stop hover spraying we could keep it that way!
My DH doesn't like my food concoctions. Tonight I threw some potatoes and chicken strips in the crockpot. Obviously I didn't let it cook long enough because the potatoes were hard.
Did you start it early in the day?? The crockpot is called a "slow cooker" for a reason. If everything started together and ran an entire cycle, it should come out perfectly cooked everytime. I've never had anything come out undercooked from my crockpot, and the shortest cooking time on mine is 4 hours.
Zantac (aka ranitidine) is approved for use in pregnancy. I took one yesterday cause my reflux has me eating Tums like candy and drinking copious amount of milk (just like last time!), and I'm *still* not Vurping this morning like I usually do. Maybe try that?
I have no idea @MrscrCalli, but I'm going to go with "it's different for everyone." Because that's all I feel I hear about being pregnant.
I know me too!
I just want a general.. Am I the odd one out or is everyone still "innie"
*Raises hand* Meeeeee! I was an innie my entire pregnancy w/DS, and will be the same w/this one. It just got progressively shallower as time went on for me, but never fully flattened out or popped.
Random thought of the day... You know how in middle school when you'd doodle boys' names all over your notebook just to see how it looked in your handwriting?
Yeah, I've been doing that all day with my baby boy's name. Now that he has a name, I can't stop writing it on scrap paper when I get bored haha!

If I really voiced a opinion I'd make a few people cry...trying to remember the saying "if you don't have nothing nice to say....."
I am so tired of people thinking that only their opinion matters!
You mean it doesnt?! *runs away sobbing loudly*
Becoming a mother made me even MORE laid about all this crap. I like infants seats. I don't mind sleep training. I don't need a glider. Etc etc etc. But that's just ME. Unless you're spouting incorrect information, you're no more right or wrong than anyone else sharing their experiences. The whole "if you do it differently then you're wrong" thing just doesn't even enter my mind for the most part.
This. I have preferences and things that work for my kid and my family. That doesn't make me any more correct than anyone else who is safely and mindfully caring for their child. I get annoyed with people who try to present their preferences as superior to everyone else's. Mompetition is dumb because almost everything barring criminal abuse/neglect is apples and oranges because kids and situations are so different.
I freaking hate the mommy wars, I got into it last night with a FB friend because she posted some blanket statement about spanking and how if people did it we wouldn't have gangsters and crime.

@jennypenny1014 I'll amend to my statement that sometimes I despise the stupid system here. You want to know what they have available OTC for acid reflux? They offered me gum.(like normal gum. Extra to be exact.) LOL. My midwife said its just part of pregnancy. In my head, I'm like "AHHHHH! GIVE ME ZANTAC." Of course, I didn't say that and I'm just here suffering. Hopefully I can figure out what foods really aggravate it so I can stop eating it.

Yup. People should be violent towards their kids to prevent them from growing up to be violent. It TOTALLY works, guys. Promise.

WOW Seriously?? Gum?! Holy crap. And unfortunately hun, even plain water will be the trigger eventually. It has to do with the hormones relaxing all your muscles (including your esophageal sphincter), and your stomach slowly being pushed up, shortening the distance between the acidic contents and said relaxed muscle. The only relief is milk (just to soothe the burn for a sec), Tums (but even they only work til you drink something), and/or Zantac. Oh, and trying to sleep sitting up. I'm sorry you're dealing with that! Can't you just go buy Zantac at the drug store anyway, or is it all by prescription up there still?
ETA Ignore that last question. You just said they have gum for acid reflux. I can read, I promise. So then - does Iceland have *anything* OTC for non-pregnant folk for acid reflux? Or is it Extra gum for all? Something like Rennie, or Pepto Bismol? FYI If it's not illegal to send, you can PM me your address and I can mail you a big bottle of Zantac.

Its prescription. The pharmacist knows me, and I asked him if they have anything like Zantac OTC. He even went back to the computer to look up what medicine that is here. He said they have something similar I'd have to call my doctor if I wanted it because its prescription only. He also said they DID have something OTC but it wasn't approved for pregnancy. I should have asked him what it was a googled it, but, he's been super helpful to me all the time and really knowledgable (about all other things) so I trust him. He was slightly joking about the gum, but said it might help a little. Arrrrgh. I'll see how it is by early next week. At that point, I'll go to my regular doctor and not call midwife. :-)
Also I just don't understand the point of filibusters. No matter what party is filibustering, I just look at it as a grown adult whining for hours so they get their way. Even though they just vote on another day, so what's the point. I just don't get it at all.

It cooked for 3 hours I figured since the chicken was boneless it wouldn't take as long. Better luck next time

EXACTLY! The people who hover over the seat, make it necessary to hover over the seat!
I thought everybody hovered. I clean up after myself though and use seat covers whenever possible. I was raised to squat I would have to be really comfortable not to.
@KendraColeslaw Ugh, I'm sorry. I've been having grief with my insurances too. At first my OB's office only had a record of one insurance (I'm covered under two), so I had to get them to add my correct insurances in the first place, and even after that I'm still receiving statements that say my appointments and things are only being billed through one insurance. 8-| I'm holding off on making any payments until I can be sure that they've been properly billed through both. Luckily I don't think my particular practice will get on my butt about anything unless I neglect payments for a year or something crazy like that. Still, it's a headache and a half.

Question: when does the belly button become even with the belly.. Looks so weird all indented when my belly is popped out so far !
Didn't want to start a thread but I want to know
Not gonna lie. I can handle the ms, the back aches and the larger belly. I have a total irrational issue with my belly button turning outie. I know it's going to happen and it shouldn't be a big deal but I still don't like it. Freaks me out.
IF ONE MORE PERSON TELLS ME "I POPPED" THIS MORNING I WILL GO BALLISTIC! No, baby did not get huge all of a sudden. I am constipated and haven't had a poop in 5 days. This is not baby, this is constipation bloat. Leave me alone. It's not comfortable or cute. /rant
Time to get a poo'ula poru. You should ask everyone if they know of a good one.

Thanks everyone, it has been one of those days. It isn't all about the baby, I am just tired about comments on my life in general. If I get one more"it must be hard as a single parent" comments I am seriously going to jail for TPing someone. Just because SO and I aren't married the world is coming to an end. I woke up in the funkiest mood and it is in everyone's best interest if I have no personal contact today...which hasn't worked as I planned.
This is my third go at kids I have lived and learned, just wish people would not give me advice that is about 30 years old.
