Younger BIL just got back with his most definitely crazy baby mama. Last time they were together she accused the entire family of some terrible things. Apparently my mil is excited they are together for the sake of the baby.

Me and my SIL already have the popcorn ready for the drama...

So this weekend turned out pretty well--my dad drove up 5hrs to come visit and put together the nursery furniture with DH. It went well and everything is set up and ready for me to decorate with posters! Dad and I went out for breakfast just the two of us which was really nice. He spent the time reassuring me that I can do this whole "mom thing" and telling me what a wonderful father my husband is going to make.

My dad wasn't super on board when I announced my pregnancy, especially since we were only a month away from the wedding. But he is so excited and got really emotional about what a great man my husband is/what a good team we make. Awwwww!

@Stace0616 that's amazing! I'm glad your dad is so supportive. I'm super jealous that you had him and your husband to put together the furniture. My dad makes it clear to everyone that he doesn't like my bf (and he never has a reason why) so I could never imagine him putting together nursery furniture with him. Andplusalso I'm the handy one in the relationship. My bf hates assembling furniture and stuff. Luckily I've liked doing stuff like that since I was little so we have balance lol

I need a minute to brag about that steak I made!!! It was a perfect medium and so flavorful! I'm so excited because my bf always does the steak but he's at work and I really wanted one. I always over or under cook steaks. I can't wait to tell my bf.

Family pictures in one hour and it's pouring rain. We needed the rain so badly - but couldn't it have waited just one more day?!

@Poru You've got pouring??? How?!? We've had threatening all day but no dice.

So I am sure I have posted before that my MIL is driving me crazy. She constantly calls LO "My Baby" and even introduced me to someone as "My baby's momma". She keeps talking about being in the delivery room which will NOT be happening. Tonight she called and asked if March 15th would be too close to when WE deliver for her to throw a family shower. We!? Is anyone else dealing with this?? What is the nicest way to tell her he is mine and to chill out? I told DH to start correcting her each time she says these things.

Creepy much! Hopefully your husband respects your wishes and starts correcting her. I'd be completely annoyed by that

So my bf reminded me last night that my birthday is coming up. I have to admit that I'm not that excited for it. My twin might be in NY so this'll be our first birthday apart ever and my bf will be at work until about 11 o'clock that night and it's valentines day. I'll probably just treat myself to an overpriced meal and stay in.

I'm not a huge pop fan but i give Bruno Mars major props. People talked crap about him performing half time. He really proved himself. He's one of the few pop artists who write his own stuff. He gave an awesome performance and I loved that he opened up playing drums.
Also loved Red Hot Chili Peppers playing for a bit.
Overall, game sucked but halftime was great.

Also, can't wait to have some beers at the next SuperBowl!

J&NL

Loved the halftime show!
Hated the game.

At DH's friend's house for a Super Bowl party and I just want to go home. His friends are just being fucking drunk and belligerent. If we don't leave soon, I might kill someone...

Emily041285

Totally feeling like shit tonight. Physically and emotionally. All I want to do is cry but my stupid in laws are here.

Update: DH still hasn't noticed my self haircut...
How long do I wait to point it out, lol?

Is it bad to unfriend someone on facebook because they are constantly posting about vaccines causing autism? I realize she has an autistic son and that must be difficult. 

Thinking of it, we were never close friends in high school and I certainly don't know her now, so, maybe unfriending is ok. In the past 3 hours, 10 articles posted from blog "sources" about vaccines causing autism and flu deaths being purposefully exaggerated by the CDC. 

Unfriend...

This Wednesday I'll be 29w0d, the same gestation that DD was born... SOMEBODY HOLD ME.

JessieAlbin

F my life. Seriously. Woke up having to run downstairs to poop my brains out and try really hard not to vom while kid kicks the hell out of my aching tummy. Feel like death out of nowhere. Pretty sure it's not food poisoning cause DH literally ate everything I ate today and he is totally fine. Staying on the couch to stay close to the shitter. Have to be at work in 6 hours. So very lame.

@mrsstanton87- omg! I am so heartbroken for everyone involved. I hope justice is served and whoever is responsible is rightfully punished. Rip little angel.

Oh I am fucking pissed!!! I'm calling licensing during the week over this. Am I also wrong to be upset that she regularly buys fast food for kids without permission from the parents? I also never told her no pizza, but just that his dairy needs to be regulated because of lactose intolerance. I'm also planning a meeting with his teacher to see of behavior is really a problem, because he is not like that with anyone else.


The daycare lady's response:

I understand your concern. I've been trying to figure out how to respond. You have put a lot of restrictions on Jacob that really alters how I can run my daycare. I can't just order pizza or swing by Mcdonalds for a special treat for the kids. It seems like there's something every month that comes up that you don't like and we have to "hash" it out via text. Further, Jacob is very challenging sometimes. I had to literally drag him for a block while we walked to school the other day. He was throwing a fit because he wanted to go back to my house to get an acorn. He was yelling and screaming at me in the middle of my neighborhood. :-/ Lol. Jacob is the only one with major restrictions and also the only one with food and chronic behavior issues. Perhaps it's all connected? Of course, we all want to provide the best care for Jacob and I will strive for that. :-) I just cannot promise that I won't watch the news or any adult program ever when Jacob is here. However, we won't watch Dexter anymore. :-)

That bitch needs a swift punch in her vulva.. And to also better learn how to notify parents THE SAME DAY incidents occur, as well as how to run a proper fucking daycare. IT IS NOT YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO TREAT THE CHILDREN TO CRAP ASS FOOD! That ALONE disgusts me. What if a kid is on a medical restriction where he/she has to limit the amount of fat/calories/fucking potatoes/whatever, or can't have soy? What if the parents dont condone eating fast food?? NEVER without a parent's permission should you feed a child anything! Ugh! I am so irrationally ragey for you.

Tonight, at a soup place, we were in line behind this mother and daughter. Mother had MAJORLY bad lip implants. The Grandmother comes in behind us. Starts complaining about the line. Then, asks me where I'm from in English. Eye roll. So, I say I'm from America but live here. Then, she gives DH the side eye. 

Two seconds later the little girl asks me in Icelandic, "Are you having a baby?" And JUST as I'm saying "yes" grandmother chimes in...

Nei elskan, hún er frá bandarikjunum. Hún er bara feitur.

Translation: No honey, she is from America. She is just fat. 

I turned to the little girl and said in Icelandic

"I'm having a baby in April."

Then I turned to DH and called her something nasty in Danish, knowing full well she would understand (but sparing the little girl from hearing me call her grandmother a bitch.)

WTH?!

Yea, my response wouldve been something like "oh haha, while I can appreciate the humor in the stereotypes of my homeland, I am in fact pregnant, and due in April. Have a lovely evening!"; but it would've come out of my mouth more like "hahaha bitch, as a matter of fact I *am* pregnant; but even if I were fat, at least I could lose the weight and am not stuck with a permanent duck face from a shoddy face lift; so you can kindly go fuck yourself with your stereotypes, you two bit plastic ass whore."

I woke up from a nap feeling nice and relaxed, and then I caught up on this thread, and now I'm all ragey and want to kick lots of ass for my bumpies. WTF crazy people!

HAHA THIS! Combined with the depressing loss by the Broncos today, and I'm ready to put my fist through someone's face!

DH and I are both up at 3am sick. I feel like my dogs are judging us and giving us the stink eye for keeping them awake...
Also, we got snow so work is going to be nuts and if I call in they are going to just think I either didn't want to come in because of the super bowl or because I don't want to drive in the dumb snow, which makes me angry. I cannot make this stomach pain up, believe me.

I'm getting worried about our pics at Disneyland tomorrow It was gloomy off and on today, and it's threatening rain now...hoping if it does rain it rains overnight and is clear and nice for at least most of tomorrow so we can get these pics done. Figures it would be like this the one weekend we're in SoCal when it's normally dry and nice most of the time...

That is bad luck and I know it's inconvienient, but we really need the rain. Agriculture in CA will be in the toilet this year and food prices will be sky high if we don't get some.

Add me to the sick club

Woke up and projectile vomited. Nice. Of course DH is out of town for the week so I'm alone and crying. Now I have heartburn from hell and can't decide if I need to throw up again. F this shit.

I don't love it, but I feel your pain. So much misery.

Aviola, I hope for lots and lots of rain and then about 3 hours of bright sunny skies with a huge rainbow for pictures. And in California, it's entirely possible...

Feel better @joytomylifex and @JessieAlbin!

Thanks doll, you too! Being sick and huge and pregnant at the same time should be cosmically illegal. So not fair!

Did I seriously just have to wake my half asleep/rather drunk husband up because he was about to pee in the kitchen garbage can? Yes. Yes I did.

:-/ Seriously?

sking72

So irrationally grumpy because SO is on a different sleep schedule and is up painting our room when I wanted to help paint it. Also mad because he brought me gingerale when I said my stomach hurt and he put ice in it which I've said a million times I don't like ice that the fridge makes cuz it tastes funny. And I say irrationally grumpy because I know these are the stupidest things to be mad about and he's being nice and productive so I should be happy! Ugh, hopefully ill just fall back asleep and wake up in a good mood. Heartburn sucks. But the Doritos were worth it.

@jenneypenny1014 ) permanent duck face. HAHAHAHAH!

After a crazy weekend of super high blood sugar readings, and then dropping down to lows. I'm super anxious for this ultrasound and OB appointment this morning. Please keep us both in your thoughts and prayers. I don't know what the issue is, but my blood sugars are out of control right now. I called my OB's answering service on Saturday and never got a call back, but did speak to my Endocrinologist, but still not feeling like things are ok. 

snmetz7

T&p @fourthnlast keep us updated

thomas930

@fourthnlast T&P's Hope you can get it figured out. 

MegJ17

I start my weekly NST today. Not looking forward to spending the afternoon at the dr.

@fourthnlast hope your appointment goes well today!

Wow. I was just about to make a post about how I was woken up last night because DH was pissing on our bathroom door!

My OB appt got canceled today! I'm actually happy since it hasn't even been 7 days since my last appointment, and I don't have to drive to a remote office and my new appt is scheduled at myregular office!

eireyes

T&P @fourthnlast!

I've got a BP check and 24 hour urine tests get done today... I'm hoping my crazy BP on Friday was due to my stress levels and what I ate during the day. I really don't want to get a pre-e diagnosis, which is what my Dr. is concerned about...  Trying to stay calm and happy, which can only help the BP numbers stay low. T&P's we get the all clear!

I'm blaming all my recent 'hiccups' on the NP who commented that I had a pretty chart (translation: boring and normal and uneventful). She cursed me!

Tferr02

My level of exhaustion today is crazy. I'm so uncomfortable and tired, and for some reason I scheduled my DS dr appt right in the middle of nap time. Today is going to be so amazing

kateleestar

OMG, I just read like, 1800 posts... I can't ever get that far behind again, lol. My eyes, they bleed.

 

In other news, I took my GD test last Tuesday and passed it with 'flying colors' as my doctor said. Thanks sweet baby jesus!!

Baby must be gonig through a groth spurt beause I can actually eat, as opposed to last week when I couldn't seem to fit anything in my stomach. Super weird.

My baby shower is this weekend, and my BFF's sprinkle (Hi T if you see this! lol.) is next weekend... MUCH to do!

My current FWP is that I have sensory sprcessing disorder along with my because-of-pregnancy-unmedicated ADHD, and... WOW, I'm loving that I'll have a kid pretty soon and it'll be all mine and totally worth it, but the baby moving around inside me is becoming too much stimulation and I'm losing sleep, lol, and poor DH doesn't know what to do as I freak out on the couch... I don't have gradmothers, and my mom is also deceased, and my poor BFF's don't really know what to do, sigh. It's hard to explain. I don't make sense, its okay, haha.

 

T&P's to everyone who needs it that I was trying to keep track of but spilled coffee on my post it note and can no longer read it, lol.

Hugs to everyone who needs one, too! And.. I hope all the sick ladies feel better ASAP!

Busy weekend and didn't get to keep up with RTT!  

Good luck at your appointments @fourthnlast and  @eireyes.

After all of the school days cancelled and planned no school days in January, this is the first full 5-day week with students since before Christmas break!  Better get to looking at my day today to see what's in store.

What do hiccups feel like? I keep getting a very rhythmic tap on my right side. It's so constant and fast it seems like it would be impossible for it to be hiccups. If it is, my poor child can't catch a break!
