June 2014 Moms

Sunday: the good, the bad, the ugly

The good: Hubby let me sleep all last night, being the one to get up with DS when he needed it.
My mom, DS and I take my grandma out for breakfast every Sunday. Hubby asked if I would like him to do anything while we were gone- and he was already starting on the list before we left!

The bad: I feel super cranky about my body. Took a quick look in the mirror today after my shower and think I saw the start if backfat/rolls. I hate myself. Plus I'm soo hungry right now.

The ugly- my grandma, who lives alone, doesn't always hear her phone ring and I get terrified that Ashe has died during the night when she doesn't answer. Terror grips me every time. Thankfully she just didn't hear the phone.

Re: Sunday: the good, the bad, the ugly

  • The good: Feeling motivated to do some laundry, clean, put clothes away (this is big for me lately)

    The bad: all of the roads/streets are iced over around here; looks like another day stuck in the house.

    The ugly: DH has been back in CO for over a week, he still won't be home for a visit for another 12 days. The boys are out of control, my nerves are shot and I'm totally resentful that he's not here to help. We've been fighting the past few days about it. I feel horrible because it's not his fault but it's so hard to handle 2 very active boys while still working full time and being pregnant. I'm exhausted and nervous about everything. I sound like a total brat, I know.

    Sorry for my novel....

  • The good - I got to sleep in until 10 today and now its 11 and I'm just relaxing in my bed. And I'm not nauseas anymore so I might get to eat breakfast! Yum. :) Also! U/S is in THREE DAYS!!!

    The bad - My cold has gotten way worse and standing up is more painful than its worth. I can't hardly breathe, my mouth is ridiculously dry and I feel like crap.

    The ugly - since I skipped out on cleaning yesterday I have a ton to do today and I feel like crap. (Dishes, 3 loads of laundry, sweeping and mopping. I hate that my whole house is ceramic tile.)
  • The good: yay, the kids return to school tomorrow!!!

    The bad: breakfast- FYI after I take my time to chew you, tease my dog and watch law and order it is your Freakin job to stay in my belly!!! It takes energy to walk to the trash can as you eject yourself from my tummy! Damn you!!

    The ugly: my chai tea is eyeballing me...lets see if it likes me better than breakfast!!!!!!

  • The good: I get to rest all day and don't have to go anywhere. The bad: DH was snoring horribly all night because he has a cold, that I think he is spreading to me. The ugly: I go back to work tomorrow. The temperature when I leave my house is supposed to be -8. My school district doesn't have busses so all the kids have to walk to school in that. I'm really worried for them. Also, I weighed myself this morning and I have gained 4 pounds the last few days. Not cool body, not cool at all.

  • @jnerd- I love back rolls....pregnancy at it's finest. My gma does the same thing :( . It's drives me crazy sometimes she's 82 in a few weeks. Gotta love them.

    mine are supposed to go back to school tomorrow, but it's looking doubtful as hell is set to freeze over here tomorrow and feel like it's -55 to -60 out.....i'd rather spend another day home with them then have to go out and drive them all to school in that, though.

    I'm in Houston...it's supposed to "freeze" tonight maybe 30. I can't wait to get them back in their routine. I also return to my classroom tomorrow. If it was that cold I wouldn't go anywhere tomorrow. I can't imagine. ~O)

    The Good: Even though I have back pain and can't sleep, I came into our living room around 6 A.M, turned on the lamp and finished reading my book. It was so peaceful. Now we are headed to see Frozen at a Movie Tavern. It's DD's first time seeing a movie at a theater and this theater is perfect. You get to eat lunch while watching your movie. The Bad: Finally they are calling for snow in North Georgia tomorrow. Got an email from my boss saying no matter what, we better be at work. Ugh. The Ugly: I have a horrible back ache.
    @emilyh107 - dude, where are you? WE are seeing Frozen at a movie tavern tonight and also live in N GA!





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • The Good:  Saw a bunch of friends I hadn't seen since I was 5 weeks pregnant last night and had a cute new maternity outfit, so everyone generally thought I looked great which felt good for a change.  (If they only knew what I usually look like now. haha)

    The Bad:  No food in the house (going to the store today) AND I go back to work tomorrow (zero motivation to do so).

    The Ugly:  I have had laryngitis for 4 days now and my hiatal hernia is starting to wage a heartburn/GERD war.

    I put the kids returning to school in my bad list...because I work there. Life is all about perspective :)  Of course, it is the adults at work that are harder to deal with...the kids just bring the germs and I am tired of being sick.  :)

  • The good- My H made me breakfast in bed today, which she's only done a few times ever! No special occasion, he just felt like it. He can be so sweet sometimes.

    The bad- My headache freaking sucks today. My head feels ready to explode.

    The ugly- We're supposed to get some weird ice storm, and I have to go out tomorrow morning.. blah.

  • I'm glad someone started this. I was going to start a stabby Sunday. I need a place to complain because DH will just think I'm being a bitch!

    Good: it looks like I'll have a couple snow days ahead, that will be bump right into our Christmas break. I love my job but love spending time with DD more!

    Bad: our DD bday is at the end of this month. We have my immediate family and DH immediate family and it was going to start at noon on a Saturday. His sister is coming (which is fine), but they are going to stay that night and I would imagine his parents will stay that night. So not only am I entertaining for the bday party but now apparently all of Saturday/Sunday. Which SIL requires breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc. our house is 1100 sq feet and they have to sleep in the partially finished basement. So we will have 6 people sleeping over that night and will end up entertaining on my daughters actual bday (Sunday) which irritates me because i was looking forward to the three of us on Sunday. It's just so tight and We don't have enough seating for that many, it's just annoying.

    Ugly: it will get ugly once i give my complaints to DH. He will think I'm being ridiculous and tell me not to feel like I need to entertain. That's what women do, he will never understand that.

    Maybe it's ridiculous, it's probably just hormones, but I'm incredibly annoyed. Thanks for listening!

    Crazy! We live just outside of Gainesville in Braselton. We go to the Movie Tavern in Suwanee.
    Shut. Your. Face. Right. Up. I live right by the Mall of GA and I am also going to the Movie Tavern in Suwanee!!! That is so weird. Enjoy your movie! :)

    The good: I bought and assembled our new dining furniture. My energy is awesome. I got so much done this morning.

    The bad: so hungry. So. Damn. Hungry.

    The ugly: all this energy, cleaning, assembling while pregnant = back injury. I just can't not do this stuff, though. When I get up, it's just fingers crossed that I can stand erect.

    Good- DH let me sleep till 8 this morning! And made us all pancakes for breakfast. Just signed the contract for our new house that we are building! Bad- DH is out of town all week for work so it's just me, my 4 year old, and the dog. He left an hour ago and I'm already exhausted. Ugly- DD doesn't go back to school till Wednesday. WTF am I going to do with her for the next two days?! I've exhausted games, books, Christmas toys, museums, and bouncy places. And it's freezing outside. Ugh.

    The ugly: I'm bored of being pregnant. I want to either be further along so I can feel the baby give super kicks, or it could just be June already so I can have my baby and not be in school for three months.

    Omg me too. I really feel the past few days like I am not even pregnant and that I just look fat. Everyone keeps telling me 20 weeks is the magic number to feel things and now I am just getting antsy. Our a/s is still two and a half weeks so I am not even at the point where I feel super excited for that cause it seems so far away. And I am depressed that this week will be a full work week again, lol. Total grump here today.

    +1. It's fun and all but I want to feel the baby and look pregnant and not just like I had too much candy over Christmas (which is also true). 





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump. 

  • The good: Took the kiddos to the zoo today and science museum yesterday, it's so nice to get out and do things, I feel like with this weather we have all been kooked up for so long

    The bad: Stressing over job issues, with a side of our unit closing, I may have to go to nights/switch positions, I should have enough seniority that I don't lose my job, but these what-ifs are killing me. I also feel so bad for those who will be losing their jobs, not sure how many yet, and most are single young girls, but I've gotten to know them and like them, so while I'm hoping my job security is there, I know it's only because their's isn't ( if that makes sense)

    The ugly: Super messed up dream, like beyond messed up, in my dream DH was cheating on me, with his grandma. ( as in my MIL walked in on them "in action")Really been trying to forget about this all morning...

  • The good: It's NFL playoffs, so I have been in football Heaven all weekend!

    The bad: My personal life is quite a mess right now, and I am trying to stay positive and hopeful.

    The ugly: Since the bad is so bad right now, I cry every day. It's stressful and upsetting, which I know isn't good for the baby, but I am doing the best I can.

    Haha yeah. I havent been to work in over 2 weeks so I know Im bigger but some people may not be able to tell why. They will all assume I ate way too much over the holidays.

    Just dittoing that I'm kind of bored with being pregnant. All the initial SQUEEE is kind of faded. Maybe I need to see some more teeny babies.

  • The Good:  I work on Sundays, and I just got home and DD is cuddled up with me and hanging out.  That's pretty much the best.

    The Bad: I'm tired.  So tired.  I made it through the work day just fine, but now I've hit a wall, and frankly, it's 3:30... too late to take a nap.

    The Ugly: DH is sick.  While I feel bad for him, he's a massive baby when he's sick.  My coworker hipped me to this video, though, and it's pretty spot on: https://youtu.be/mz6DktXFvg4

    Chat!                       General Cloth Diaper Information          
  • The Good: We went to look at a condo closer to DH's new job today. While we're not getting that one, we had a really chat with the realtor and have decided to get our current house assessed for sellable value and perhaps start the process of selling it.  We also had a serious conversation linked to this about my quitting when Charlie is born and I think it's actually going to happen!!  While I'm extremely nervous about being a SAHM, I cannot stay in my current position when I know that I'm only covering daycare. 

    The Bad: We have several projects around the house that need finishing before anyone can come and tell us what it's worth.  I also can't quit until after Charlie is born, and it kills me that I have to wait another 5 months.  Kills me.  Time to start painting all weekend every weekend.

    The Ugly: Aside from conversations about jobs/houses, which I suppose are the important things, I cannot have a constructive argument with my husband about anything.  At all.  I tried to talk to him about his total lack of ability to give me an accurate sense of how long anything will take him.  When will you get home from work?  I'll leave when I finish this piece of code.  What the hell does that mean?!  When will you be ready to leave? When I get a couple things done. Really, how many and what kind?  He listens to my examples and rather than discussing the bigger picture, tries to tear apart each of examples.  It's fucking frustrating. 

    Married DH 7/30/11

    CSC arrived 5/7/12 

    CHC arrived 6/2/14

  • The good: I was able to go to town by myself and shop for a few hrs. Just got stuff that we needed at the house and looked at some baby stuff.

    The bad: My noise has been running all day. Hope I am not coming down with a cold. And it's still cold out side really want the weather to warm up a little.

    The ugly: I don't want to see the bruise from the car accident anymore they look so bad. I hope they go away soon never had bruise so bad.
  • The Good: my DH did the Laundry today so I could relax for my first day back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off (I'm a teacher).

    The Bad: I have to go back to work tomorrow after having 2 weeks off ( I know I shouldn't complain).

    The Ugly: I am the MOH in my sisters wedding in 2 weeks and my eating is getting out of control. I totally jinxed myself because I hadn't gained too much weight because I didn't have much of an appetite however now I want everything in sight. Hope the dress fits :)

  • The Good: I was able to go out to brunch with hubs and 3 friends this am without feeling sick at all (I've become a huge homebody lately and any venture out of the house makes for a successful day)!

    The Bad: Heartburn has reared it's ugly head and I find myself constantly feeling the urge to spit bc of excess salivation. I've even caught myself drooling several times.

    The Ugly: I've been on leave from work for the past 2+ weeks after several fainting episodes and on-going heart palpitations. I am going through numerous tests and have been wearing heart event monitors as my doc believes I may have SVT, which means I would have to undergo a cath procedure after the baby is born (SVT runs in my family). I am praying it is all pregnancy related and resolves either ASAP or after she is born as it is a very scary experience.
  • The good: it's my bday tomorrow and today we are celebrating. Which basically means I get to eat cake all day.

    The bad: my freaking face is still swollen and is making me feel like a giant fatty. Eating cake all day has not helped my body image issues.

    The ugly: tomorrow school starts again and I have to go back to work and deal with whiny high schoolers. Yuck. As an added bonus, it's colder than balls outside.
  • The good: my dog and I participated in our first Rally Obedience dog show today!!! We did much better than I thought we would but still have some practice ahead of us!! It wasn't an actual competition just a fun show, so it was great for us to get the experience!!

    The bad: Christmas decorations are still up!!! Anyone wanna come take them down??? ;)

    The ugly: dreading the upcoming weather starting tomorrow!! I don't mind the snow but not looking forward to the negative temperatures!! Wondering if it's frowned upon to call in if it's too cold out? Guess I'll just wait and see!

    @emilyh107 - dude, where are you? WE are seeing Frozen at a movie tavern tonight and also live in N GA!
    Where are you both?  I am in Roswell.
  • The good: (I have a lot of good today !) 1. This was a weekend of glorious foods! Yum got to eat almost all of my favorites. 2. We bought our double BOB today! Found one in great shape on CL for $250. 3. We fixed/redid my mini picture studio! It looks so much better now!

    The bad: I have this tiny pimple right on the ridge of my nostril, it hurts. That's petty I know but seriously, it hurts.

    The ugly: dh's work schedule goes back to normal tomorrow (he was on a holiday schedule). I'm going to miss him, even though the schedule isn't that different, I love when he's home extra time with us!
  • The good - I got to eat twice today without vomiting once. The bad - I still have to goto work tonight so hopefully my no vomit streak holds up this time. The ugly - indigestion, nausea, constipation, feeling fat... There is more but you can take your pick they all suck especially when they all come together.
