@eireyes sooo cute and FLUFFY!! Uhh I miss fluffy kitties! I have a golden too! She's actually the worst around them. I've actually tried to train the dogs around cats and we even temporarily fostered a cat, but they want none of it and especially when they are all 3 together it becomes problematic. I really did try. They have formed a pack, which unfortunately I didn't think about when we adopted the last one, but We were foster failures. I blame that mostly on my husband.
ETA has anyone told you that one of your cats looks like the old guy in the diabetes commercial? Because he do. Lol so cute
Yeah, the pack mentality can be a pain. My parents have two goldens, and both are pretty good with the cats, but the white cat is a little skittish with craziness and runs, so that sends the younger dog into chase mode.
HAHAHA - he does totally look like that! I know you're referring to the grumpy looking white one too The funniest part is of the two cats, he's the purriest, happiest one, although they're both pretty freaking lovey-dovey. The other day DH actually said he wants to clone them both because we'll never have better cats than these two.
I'll have to get a photo of the white one acting like a fat-man; then he looks like a little human or Jabba the Hut... It's a riot!
Oh man, I am sitting at my desk at work feeling like I am suffocating. I don't know if it's the way baby's positioned, but I just can't breathe. I want to rip all my clothes off and lay down on the floor--but I'm not sure that's acceptable in my workplace. Any tips, ladies? Dying over here. And feeling like a drama queen, too, I suppose.
Run to a conference room and strip down,maybe there is a lock on the door .
I try standing and swinging my arms or twisting my waist until he moves .

Okay! Trying this now, the twisting not the stripping. Thanks
Endocrinologist Appt this morning. Everything went great, after him asking how I was, I burst into tears and just let everything out and he totally talked me down. I started splitting up my big night time insulin dose on Monday to first thing in the morning and right before bed and I was a lot lower this morning, if I'm not down more by Friday, we'll increase it again, but otherwise just keep doing what I'm doing. Since my A1C # is under 5, when baby is born, I will probably need sugar and told me to plan on having a delicious carb filled meal along with dessert as soon as I can have solid foods. Umm, please, twist my arm We now have a plan for the c-section date as well as if I go into labor on my own. Feeling SO much better about things and my #'s today have been quite fantastic. I had a pre lunch reading of 74 which means I got to have a few extra carbs with lunch today. Yay. Fingers crossed this trend continues, by 32 weeks the insulin resistance from the pregnancy will plateau and may actually plummet, meaning I may not need 1/2 or a 1/4 of the insulin I'm taking now over the next few weeks. Can't. Wait.
Then he asked if I was having a baby shower or something to look forward to (besides delivery) and I said yes, I'm having a shower on the 22nd, but was nervous because of the foods being served. And then he said I'm not about to tell a near term mom to be that she can't have cake at her own shower. You will have cake and you'll love it. *swoon.* I just have to email him my fasting # that morning and what kind of cake we'll be having and he will let me know how much to adjust my insulin that day. You have no idea how much this excites me LOL!
My old boss has been trying to get me to go out to lunch with the office for weeks. I finally gave in today and they gave me baby gifts. Now I feel like a douche canoe for trying to get out of it for so long.
FUCK MY ENTIRE LIFE RIGHT NOW! My radiator cap fell uo while I was driving to class so my car started to over heat. I stuck a rag in the spot where it should be and rush to the nearest car parts place to buy one along with a bottle of coolant. On my way to class from car parts place my car is getting hot and I can hear the coolant in radiator bubbling so I pull into the parking lot at our armery. Here I am sitting in their parking lot with my hood open when I should be sitting in class.
@thomas930 My wedding shower and baby shower were both complete surprises. I feel blessed to have loved ones willing to organize lovely events for me, and so so thankful to be blissfully unaware of any drama!
I came home and he was cooking himself halibut for dinner. (I try but I don't like fish at all) So, then he asked me what I wanted... I asked him what he could make and this happened:
"Hotdogs"
"...we don't have buns."
"Turkey Burger"
"...we don't have lettuce (for a wrap)."
"Chicken"
"...we don't have any chicken."
"Spaghetti"
"...we don't have sauce."
"Well what do you want?"
"...You made that decision already. I will starve."
"I will go out and get you something, what do you want?"
"...NOTHING. DON'T GET ME ANYTHING, IT WILL TASTE BAD AND I KNOW YOU DON'T EVEN CARE BECAUSE YOU ONLY MADE YOURSELF DINNER."
"Ok" [Comes back with chicken, potatoes, and mac & cheese, while I pout watching TV]
Can i just say that I'm so glad that my baby shower with my first was a total surprise...made things really easy.
I agree! Mine wasn't a surprise, but for the most part I was just told when/ where to show up. It was lovely and now I need to write some thank you notes..the end. Not too complicated! The fact that there is a whole board dedicated to baby showers kind of blows my mind!
Ugh I'm gonna strangle DH for being a fucking asshat! I get home and plan to get on the computer for a few minutes to unwind before cooking myself dinner and cleaning the house some. And guess what he did?!
He password locked the fucking computer...and his password hint "did you clean?" ASSHOLE! I was actually planning on cleaning originally but now I kinda just wanna lock myself in our room with my cell and the DVR after DSS is in bed and not do a goddamn thing! Yes I know our house needs to be cleaned, but he's the one who's home until mid afternoon, usually on his damn video/computer games or the Olympics now, and I'm the one who works 9 hr days, deals with DSS and oh yeah is pregnant with his kid!
He hadn't said a word to me all fucking day, normally I'd get a text or two and a call on his way to work, but today nothing and then I come home to that. I'm so fucking pissed I wanna scream but then id freak out DSS and the dog.
ETA oh and to top it all off, he left a bill on the computer he seems to want me to pay....how the fuck does he expect me to do that if I can't get onto the damn computer!?
Holy. Fucking. Shit. @aviola329
Not only would I NOT clean, I would lock the bedroom door and leave a pillow and blanket on the couch, along with the bill and a note that said "go fuck yourself".
Holy shit that would not fly in this house. 0_o
Can't sleep either. Just woke up after falling asleep about four hours ago and now everything is uncomfortable and achey. Plus my knees are hurting like growing pains. :-/
@Sisimama10 I have the same pains in my legs I feel like I'm 15 again:(
Me too! It's crazy. I haven't had growing pains since I was like 9 or 10. Hurts so bad! I had to pull a chair into the bathroom to do my hair and makeup. :-/
I caught a glimpse of my baby shower cake....it's one of those baby butt ones, but I think she made it Mickey Mouse! I'll post a pic as soon as I can. Sooo looking forward to this shower! Only 1.5 hrs! This work day sucks.
@KatieGummow you're killing me with your gifs today! Also, that conversation sounds sooo familiar.
So happy to hear it. I have so many more that I want to use, but I don't want to get out of control and annoy people. Happy to hear that conversation was not just me. I didn't even feel bad afterwards like I usually do.
Is there some special panties for pregnant women so you don't show panty lines? Like spanx but without the compression? I got a cute dress yesterday but it shows my panty lines and I hate that.
@celticlullaby from what I understand if they are not choking, vomiting, having severe abdominal pain or a fever that they should be able to pass any coins ingested through their poop. But if they get sick before then, take them in right away. You're not a bad mom, little kids put things in their mouth that they shouldn't all the time!

Well, shit. DS was playing with his trains while I was taking a poo, and then I heard him tear off running to his room. I keep all the other doors closed, and he can't work doorknobs, so I didn't worry - then I found him in our bedroom a few minutes later. DH threw a towel over the door so it wouldn't latch, and he leaves everything a mess and leaks change from his pockets. (It is not at all unusual for me to wake up with dimes stuck to my leg.) So kiddo was standing there with two fistfuls of coins, and he looked me in the eye, giggled, and put a nickel in his mouth.
I retrieved the nickel, but now I don't really know if he was in there chowing down on change or just screwing with me. Argh! I called the pediatrician just in case - but he'll just crap out the coins if he ate any, right? Choking would be the real danger, right? And he clearly didn't...
My first day home with him in almost a week - I feel like the shittiest mom ever right now. At least I think he's decided to take a nap for me.
DD swallowed a couple pennies when she was 1 1/2. Doctor said not to worry that she would poop them out.
