DH and I are babysitting a 4 year old tonight. We are so exciting.
He said he's going to come up with something for us to do tomorrow, but really I'd be happy to just sleep all day.

Why did I think only ordering a small chocolate frosty would suffice? It must have been a moment of temporary insanity because I am seriously heartbroken that it is all gone

I have a head lodged in my ribs. Every contraction or BH I have causes it to press on my rib so hard I feel like it's going to snap in half. Seriously kid flip!!!!

I opened up our banking app to deposit a check and exclaimed, "where did all of this money come from?!"
Our tax return came back in just over a week!!!! yay!!

I don't even open half the threads posted anymore because I doubt I'll be able to contain my snark. I'm already feeling huge and miserable and have 10 weeks to go. It's not a good sign, lol.

A-fucking-greed. I can't imagine making it another 11 weeks without punching someone.

Am I the only one never having sex? We have done it like less than 10 times this whole pregnancy!

You're not alone.  I doubt DH is getting any tonight, either.  
It has been about three weeks for us, with school, work, being sick, and how god calm uncomfortable I am we have slowed down a lot.

I know my body is just getting ready for LO, but waking up every 3 hours fucking sucks. Hello insomnia, I have not missed you.

And the buzz saw that is my husband just woke me up and I am now wide awake. I want to take a video of it and post it so you can hear how unbelievably LOUD he is! Ugh.

Hello 5am! I hate you! X(

ZebNMichelle

Just wanted to update
We got to Florida ... Zeb's dad passed away 2/13/14. He waited for his kids to show up that morning and passed maybe 10 mins after we got to the hospital.
Everyone is still in shock. his dad came to FL to go to his motheres funeral, got sick, turned to Pnamonia and that's what killed him.
Zeb and I are leaving Florida Tuesday to head up to Alaska where his dad lived, to take care of his affaires. And ship his stuff to New Hampshire. It's been a long hard week.
Thank goodness for friends and family.
I hope you ladies are having a good 3rd tri. Hugs ~ Michelle

Any one else have a reaction to the DTap? I expected my arm to be sore, but I had all over body aches the next day. It was to the point where I physically couldn't do anything. I was so sore and sick feeling. Blah

True story. 2 years into this gig and DH STILL puts pants on before remembering to snap a onesie. This afternoon he said "fuck it" and this is what DS is currently running around looking like.

That's pure awesome.

As the mother of a toddler boy myself, I must ask: what is that yellow toy with all the slides, in the background?! DS would LOVE something like that.

@ZebNMichelle So sorry for your loss ((hugs))

So my boxer has cancer. A mast cell tumor the size of a softball on the back of his right leg, that perpetually bleeds all over the place, and has metastasized to his popliteal lymph node; the node is now almost as big as the tumor, and his entire groin is swollen on that side.

I've been delaying the inevitable, since he seems to have been feeling fine otherwise for a while (still eats like a champ, runs super fast down the stairs to go outside, etc), but he's been slowly deteriorating, with respiratory issues (I think the cancer has spread and is causing repeated respiratory infections - we're constantly having to uncrust his nose lately so he can breathe, his breathing is loud and he coughs/vomits a lot), and recent lack of bladder control (likely from the tumor putting pressure on his bladder). I thought we'd have longer, but after being woken up twice now tonight by him crying out in what I can only assume is excruciating pain, I've decided that I can't allow him to suffer any longer, and I am now faced with the reality that my first "kid", the original man of the house, my sweet 11 year old boxer, Austin, is going to be leaving us. I will be taking him in this morning to end his suffering.

He's been such a fantastic member of my family...the BEST dog ever with my son. They were total buddies. My heart breaks at the thought of not having him around for the kids to grow up with, but I know that I'm doing the right thing. It's just sad. Thanks for "listening".

katieharpiceland

oooof @jennypenny1014 That is just rough. No way around how much it sucks and how sad we become. ((((hugs))))

I am so, so sorry.  I am going through the EXACT same thing with my rottie right now. 2 weeks ago they told us they thought we would have 3 months, but I think we'll be lucky to have one more month.  It is so heartbreaking and I will keep you and your family in my prayers. You are doing the right thing by not letting him suffer any longer. So sorry.

So after our lovely southern snowstorm, we had an earthquake last night.

Everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off, while I sit here with my Alaska license plates and Alaska drivers license laughing at them.

Big hugs to @zebnmichelle and @jennypenny1014 this morning. This week better be kind to you ladies. Or I will punch it in the face.

JessieAlbin

Thank God lastnight was my last Friday night shift at work... It was hellacious and this morning I feel like I got hit by a truck. Two more weeks until maternity leave. I can do this!!

sking72

Thoughts and prayers to those that need them!

Last night I was texting SO about how LO was making up for not moving most of the day by doing jumping jacks all night and his response was "she's on a night schedule, like her daddy." And just hearing him call himself daddy almost made me cry, it made it seem so much more real and so happy that he's excited for her!

Also, happy vday from this handsome chap that was born yesterday

what was the point of agonizing over this baby registry?  my shower is tomorrow--40 guests and 5 items were purchased.  I wish I had those hours back in my life and knew the ladies in my life would know what we need/would like on their own!

They still have all of today to buy stuff as well!  I went to a shower last Sunday and didn't go shopping until Saturday afternoon.  And like Vinny said, sometimes I'll buy something thats off a registry, but at a different store.

This. Plus, for me anyhow as a FTM it really got my butt in gear as to making decisions about what things we needed/wanted, what we really didn't need and could do without, and the registry honestly helped us more in the after shower necessity buying department rather than the getting stuff part.

Stop stalking your registry and enjoy your shower, you are going to feel like a jerk when you get so many awesome things and people bend over backwards to make you and your SO feel special about having a baby.

Ugh! The friggin landscapers are here. I hate that they just show up! But there are much bigger problems in the world and in this thread. I just wanna hug all of you ladies. I'm so sorry about all the crap going on.

RocksInTheWater

Big (((hugs))) to you @Zebnmichelle and @jennypenny1014.  Michelle, I hope everything goes smoothly for your trip to Alaska to take care of your FIL's affairs.  Jenny, thinking of you this morning as you lovingly let your furbaby go.  How sad all around.

@hlm184 I've heard that Alaska actually has more earthquakes than California - but no one ever hears about them!

Absolutely true!
