Ugh I'm in awkwardly uncomfortable type of pain today....upper belly and back. My guess is from the way I was napping on the couch but Jeesh.

I wake up in the mornings with pain in the crease at the top of my belly like someone was pushing on a specific spot all night.  It hurts so much!  I wonder what sleeping does to cause that?

Ugh. The other half of my duo offered to do one performance proposal for us, and I gladly accepted. I saw what he sent. Written in bad Icelandic (he didn't even spell Icelandic right! Íslenska NOT Íslenzka. There is no Z in the alphabet here!!!) and doesn't even tell the main purpose of the concert. Also, I said I wanted all the composers to be under the age of 20 and he puts someone on there that was 23. Not a big deal except we've already PLAYED this piece. I want young composers!! Like, actual young composers. Not the Icelandic "OH he's so young, he's only 25" bullshit. (Yes, 25 is young, but, a post degree young is different than a pre degree young!)

I'm full of rants today.  FULL OF RANTS!

Pregsomnia needs to go the hell away. I have enough issues trying to sleep with heartburn, hip, and lower back pain, thank you very much. That or more people need to have it so I have more posts to read!

This. Pregsomnia is kicking my ass!

I'm annoyed today.....

1) Went to the clinic to make sure my cold is really just a cold (DH just read about pregnant women dying of the flu and can't calm down).  The nurse taking my vitals (that I usually really like), looks at my chart, then looks at me, and says "So, even though you don't look pregnant, you are pregnant?"......nooo, I'm pretending, because it's fun.

2) I gave my students their mid-term exam today.  There is one girl in my class who has already missed 5 of 8 lectures.  I was secretly hoping she would bomb the test - of course she gets a B on it.  WTF world!!!!

I must REALLY be showing today. I had my first "when are you due" by a stranger shortly followed but someone else asking "are you having twins"

Some assfuck that I can't stand at my Church came up to me at the funeral and said "hey, chubby, how are you?" My husband had to physically turn me around and push me to start walking away because I almost punched him in his chubby fucking throat.

Dear LO,

This is your birth itinerary. You are to be born on a Saturday in early April - preferably the 12th, although the 5th is also acceptable. There are to be no contractions through the prior night (7 am is acceptable at the earliest.) You are to arrive quickly, easily, and face down around noon, as aerodynamically as possible so as to avoid tearing your mother. Your latch is to be spot on from the get go, as your sister's was. Meconium poop is to be reserved for your father.

Deviations from the itinerary will result in disciplinary action.

Love, Mom

Mines already in trouble for not listening. Le sigh

Sounds like an acceptable birth plan to me.

I am sitting at my desk with my coat and hat on but having a hard time leaving work because it is just so damn cold outside.  And I need to get gas on my way home.  Why are there no full service stations around here?  Is that even a thing anymore?

I wasted all of DS's naptime - no cleaning and no progress made on baby blanket. I also feel awful because I finally called the pediatrician about kiddo's constipation and they think he might have strep. I was worried but let MIL and stepmom convince me constipation is normal and I was being a worry wart, so now I feel horrible and neglectful that I didn't call when I first got worried. Also - who the hell knew there was such a thing as butt strep?? And the most pressing issue - how am I going to avoid this child starving if I'm not allowed to give him cheese??

Constipation = strep? Dafuq??!!

We have full service gas stations we aren't even allowed to pump our own gas in Oregon, but we pay extra.

I just cried for an hour because DH won't "let" me buy the CUTEST pirate bedding from Target. It's on sale this week and I totally thought that would make him be ok with it. But since we "have a ton of stuff for him already" and he "slept on reindeer blankets" growing up and didn't care, then we don't need to waste on money a comforter and sheets. And I'm like, beyond upset by this.

Then I finally get myself under control and DS throws himself at me and smashes his giant head into my mouth.

Oh and I'm on my own tonight because DH is driving home to Western Md so he can spend tomorrow skiing. 0_o

Use your target Giftcards!! Then he has no say bc it's not even his money.

We have full service gas stations we aren't even allowed to pump our own gas in Oregon, but we pay extra.

When gas is already $3.55/gallon, I wouldn't even notice having to pay extra to stay in my nice, warm car while someone else pumps the gas.  

ETA:  I survived going to the gas station and am now in my nice, warm house.

katieharpiceland

We should totally have full service here. 10$ a gallon :-P

One of my favorite parts of living in OR

Ick, I hate it!

We got in trouble when we stopped to fill up while driving through Oregon.  I knew about Jersey, but not OR.

I don't mind the option being available, but making it mandatory makes me mad.

If memory serves, it is against the law in both Oregon and New Jersey to pump your own gas. Those are the only placs that I am aware of that still have full service stations.

So as time approaches for me to be a mom,I can't help but get emotional. I came from a single-parent household where my mom raised both my sister and I with limited resources and it was a struggle. We may not have had a lot but my mom always showered us woth lots of love and affection.
I can't believe the time is coming where I will get the opportunity to love something as much as I saw my mom love my sister and I. I'm feeling very grateful and blessed today :x

Don't we have a stupid questions thread? 99% of the posts belong in there. Ughhh.

Also, I can't stop watching "my 600lb life" and it makes me feel like I need to stop eating junk and work out. But then I think... Hmmm better not.

My doctor told me to watch the amount of cookies I'm eating the rest of this pregnancy. I reassured her it was doughnuts that were the problem, not cookies.

It's amazing how many free full cans of baby formula I have received from my OB office and in the mail.  Hopefully my baby will do well with BF but if not I have a nice stash built up.  If baby doesn't need it, it's good to know I can donate it.  Some of them don't expire for a year or 2.  Now where are all of my free diaper samples??

Question! Is it ungrateful or silly or whatever to want what you registered for? For example, a lot of the things I want aren't available in stores; you have to order them online. My MIL got a call from one of my FIL's sisters saying that my pack-n-play is out of stock at the store (and coincidentally online too :-S), and they wanted to know what I wanted to do. My MIL was wanting me to "pick another one out real quick." I mean.. there's a reason I picked out the one I wanted in the first place, and I'm also a very indecisive, picky person. I take the time to see what features I like about it, read the reviews and look at all my options before I decide.

I ended up telling them I deleted the swing I wanted from my registry because it got bad reviews and never added another one, so they could just pick whatever one they wanted as long as it was gender-neutral (so I can use it with future potential sons). I didn't really want to do that either since I have no idea what I'll be getting, how trustworthy it is and all that, but it seemed better than changing my pack-n-play last minute while they were waiting there at the store for me to decide... Blah.

For those of you who have seen the movie Constantine - remember the scene where the devil's son is pushing his face against Angela's stomach from the inside?  That's about what it feels like is going on in my stomach right now, only I can't see quite that much detail, lol.

My younger sister and I grew up in a similar way though I never felt like resources were limited (guessing our grandma was financially involved somehow, because our father was not). Either way, we got tons of attention and fun excursions and things. As much as my mom has her issues and often drives me BSC these days, my childhood is still the major reason behind my passion for being a parent.
