LOL...wailing stomach baby post got an update.

Today I have been so lazy. I still haven't gotten out of my pajamas and probably won't until I take a shower tonight before bed, then I'll probably put them back on. DH let me sleep in and made breakfast for everyone so I laid in bed until almost 10. The only thing I've accomplished today is put my hair in a bun and sit on the couch all day.

The whole emotional reaction is throwing me off too. I'm NOT normally emotional like this about stuff. I'm in bed addressing Christmas cards, waiting for my French bread pizza. I threw up my delicious fried rice, so back up dinner it is. I'll be asleep by 8:30 hopefully.

((hugs)) Hopefully you feel better tomorrow! I get super emotional/ easily agitated too.

DH is making po boys and sweet potato fries!! Mmmmmm!!


@colleenswerb I sent you some sad panda hugs a few pages back, I'll send you some more!

Also.. Is it not normal to eat the whole box? :-??

Absolutely 100%normal :-)

Lol. I always leave about a half cup left over because it makes me feel like I'm not the hog I really am. Drives my DH nuts, all these little portions in the fridge that aren't enough for a serving. ...I say I'm saving it for when the baby is hungry

Sounds like a rough day was had for a few of my fave random thoughts ladies! @pineconey and @colleenswerb I hope you feel better soon, and @jellysparkles boo to losing power/water! Stay warm in that silly frozen mitten with their bullshit weather. I'm sending you all of the warm and fuzzy feelings watching the REAL Sound of Music is giving me right now.

I watched a few documentaries today and now I officially hate seaworld and I never want to eat meat again. Those poor piggys. I feel so naive for buying this certain chicken brand because I thought they were organic but now I know what they really mean when they say cage free, no additives or preservatives and no steroids.

We just watched Blackfish last night. I had zero desire to go to SeaWorld before that, as I think caging the whales is cruel, but jeez! I can't believe they pin everything on the trainers...if those were dogs killing people, they would be put down. Those whales need to be released!
Also, not sure which documentary you watched,but I watched Food Inc several years ago and have not eaten meat since. Now, 4 years later, the thought of it makes me sick. I've watched several other of the food documentaries since then, and it always just solidifies my beliefs and gives me that motivation to keep on if I happen to be craving meat.

eireyes

I'm with all of you eye rolling the stupid on the A14 board. I just can't... Part of me hopes it's just an epic level of baby brain (or people trying to be funny and failing), but the sane, logical and smart part of me says that's wishful thinking.  The amount of stupid just scares me, because these people are having kids!!!

Ugh, I can't stand stupid people - they make me crazy. Time to go pack for Christmas vacation at my parent's house!

Ahaha totally forgot to tell y'all, but my BFF is pregnant due 4/1 ( not sure if she lurks....) but... She sent me a picture of cookies the other day asking me if she should risk getting gestational diabetes by having a few. I was like ummmm have you read literally anything about pregnancy? It was a special ' o'honey moment '

Wow, has she gone this whole time without any sugar?!  @-)

DH is such a poop. He wrapped all of my presents inside of old boxes and then taped them up. He knows I will unwrap things to snoop, but unwrapping and then opening a box is too much work. I will get caught for sure. What a smart, sneaky poop.

Ps: yes I know this totally makes me a brat and snooping is wrong.. But I don't care!!

Lindsay808

I am completely dying right now.

DH has a tendency to sleep talk and fell asleep on the couch. I am currently eating Doritos and he woke up briefly to switch sides. He then says, "That's what I would do, put doritos on your legs." 

Dorito crumbs then spew out of my mouth

Ugh I think I overdid it today. Pretty sure these are Braxton hicks. Fun stuff. My feet are killing and swelling and my back feels like someone stabbed me if I move the wrong way.

This! The stabby back pain. Gets me EVERY TIME when I stand a certain casual way that I just happen to do all the freaking time without thinking about it while I'm on my feet at work, and then I'm trying not to look like someone is shanking me when I go to move. It's my fave.

JessieAlbin

The real Sound of Music on tv made me tear up about ten stinking times. I sure do love that movie.

Thanks @MamaFantastic I love the tutus!!! Coral/pink is for my April baby and the winter wonderland with sparkles is for my two week old niece!!

woohoo!!  so glad you love them

DH is a terrible suitcase packer. I told him if he keeps this madness up that he will only be allowed to choose his shirts.
9 pairs of socks, 12 pairs of underwear, 9 undershirts... I told him we are doing laundry there (we are staying with my mom) and sharing 1 suitcase. I get that it's 2 weeks, but my goodness....

mrscrcalli

DH is taking me to Nutcracker tomorrow at the Portland Ballet!!! Yeeeee!! :x

katieharpiceland

I have to buy the only thing I know that will help me in the airport. I have a slight sore throat and they make tylenol in a powder form to put in hot water. Going to a country with even less drugs to choose from, when you're already pregnant/getting a cold and don't have many drugs to choose from, kind of sucks. 

Also, waking up at 4 am and actually have to wake up then, sucks. The one night my insomnia DOESN'T help. 

Christmas travel time. Should be a fun day! heheh (Luckily, its not NEARLY as bad as flying to America.)

mrscrcalli

Shit is about to get real in the marihuana thread.

michaelad3

My weekend has been so busy I feel like I need another one to recuperate, but it's back to work tomorrow. I still have so much to do for Christmas! Mostly baking and wrapping, but I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

@lindsay808 I have a lot of crockpot recipes from Pinterest, and lately I've made several from six sisters stuff. The crockpot is the best!

irisheyez7

Ugh! So glad to be home! It was actually nice hanging out with the inlaws this afternoon after the train wreck that is DH's siblings bailed at like 9am this morning. Wow. It's amazing how different people can turn out when raised by the same 2 people! Lordy. And I am finally caught up on all the nonsense that is this thread! I missed you ladies!

MrsL13

I was being silly while wrapping presents with DH and put a cardboard box over my head. Well DH thought it would be funny to flick it and scare the hell out of me. I was so startled I started to cry. Then he felt bad for making me cry and I felt bad for crying and making him feel bad. Hahaha. Damn pregnancy!

I didn't expect my bump to be so uncomfortable this soon.

Ugh I'm on call tonight. Was all comfy in bed about to fall asleep when the phone went off. Damn people can't you wait til a reasonable hour to make a basic report? I get law enforcement calling with immediate needs, but just making a report I think should wait til daylight. Now I'm laying here bumping because my adrenaline won't let me go back to sleep.

It would be nice of you could catch a break and get a decent night's sleep. 

How are your ankles/feet doing tonight? 

Bluebird2318

Booooo, sorry aviola! Sleep is such a precious commodity these days. I should be sleeping but I want to finish another chapter of this book because I am running out of time! (A14 Book Club, yay!)

Also, wow. We are almost at 200 pages in this RTT beast. At this rate we will be over 600 pages by the time April rolls around. @-)

Sisimama10

I want to kick my SO out of bed! He is the worst sleeper EVER. He flip flops around, makes noises, accidentally hits me in his sleep! It's ridiculous and I'm exhausted. I just sent him to the couch. I wish he would relocate there permanently!

Yayyyy up at 3:30 and I'm still awake. Pregnancy is so beautiful and magical! *grumble*

Yup. Still waiting for that "magical glow" they all keep talking about to replace the large bags under my eyes...any day now pregnancy...anyday!

Those were the two I watched! I felt so ashamed for going to seaworld in the past.

I'm also a little excited that DH watched food inc with me because now he understands why I like to shop organic and maybe now he will be on board with it.

This has been me all day. At least you have a goal of taking a shower. I'll wait until tomorrow.

I did wait.

Awake at 4am. Catching a plane in a few hours.
I hate mornings.
And the last time I flew while pregnant I ended up miscarrying in the hospital that night. I know it's just a terrible coincidence, but it was all I could think about last night

Medic99

I seriously hate waking up to pee at 0400 and then finding out I am really hungry. I hate eating this late/early because then I can't go back to sleep because I am too awake or acid reflux decides to rear it's ugly head. On the plus side I had yummy toast with blackberry jelly. Oh and I actually remembered to take a Zantac right after eating. Hopefully I can go back to bed soon.

Medic99

@pineconey, I can totally understand. After a loss, everything makes you a little worried. I am sending many good and positive travel vibes your way!

MegJ17

@pineconey safe travels! Hope it's uneventful!

We watched black fish a couple nights ago. I cried. I had no idea and use to love sea world. I will never EVER go there again. It makes me question zoos now as well.

Lindsay808

@michaelad3 I will have to look into six sisters! I have found Pinterest can be hit or miss at times when it comes to successful recipes. 

Mamamonzo

I know I've posted this before, but let's just start keeping a running tally of of how many times my kitten tips over the trash in the bathroom. We have all but nailed the damn thing to the floor. The bathroom is connected to our bedroom so there are two ways to get into it I usually remember to close one door, but forget the other. She's lucky she cute X(

eireyes

@mamamonzo one of our two cats does the same thing!  He's just a goofy boy who likes to play with anything that's crinkly or Q-tip shaped (and I mean anything - the idiot chews on packing tape that's still attached to the box).  Nothing is sacred in our house when it comes to Seamus!  The best one to date was when he got into the cupboard under the sink and pulled wrapped tampons out of the box and carted them all over the house... Good thing it was only DH and I that walked in on that one  ">

As far as the tipping problem, try a heavy weight trash can.  Our trash can is porcelain, and doesn't narrow at the bottom, and the combination of the weight and high center of gravity make it almost impossible for our 12lb moose to tip it.

Zoos make me sad simply because the animal is not in its real environment and lives its life out in a tiny cage. But, on the other hand, I think zoos serve much more of a purpose than just show animals.  I want to believe that zoos have helped to save many species that would other wise be extinct.
