Saturday/Sunday- the good, the bad, the ugly

JNerd

Am hanging with my mom and DS today. She makes fantastic Cesar salad and totally made me my own (huge) bowl for lunch. I don't even feel the slightest bit guilty because it was a salad and not sour candy.

My hip is killing me. Every movement is carefully considered and weighed against the pain. Unfortunately DS didn't get the memo so still needs running after.

Good: I have a performance tonight and it's in a great sold out show uptown.

Bad and ugly: Woke up blowing a bloody nose this morning and cannot stay awake no matter how much I sleep. Worried I'm coming down with something.

bebemac

Good: It's the 3rd day of my 4-day weekend. <:-P

Bad: I have been snowed in for 3 days. [-(

Ugly: I won't get my mint chocolate chip milkshake today, either. (

colllydon

Good: I am home showered, in my pjs and set with a full DVR for the night.

Bad: I think I'm getting to the point where I can't work 6 days a week anymore. My goal was to make it to the begining of May but I'm so sore and tired by the end of work on Saturday I couldn't even bring myself to go to the grocery store.

Ugly: the amount of laundry I have to do tomorrow.

Good: Finally finished all my home work so I have a week off before the next semester starts.

Bad: Have three classes instead of two when they do start.

Ugly: Start working doubles this coming week, and I can't seem to catch up on sleep.

@CDK211 Oh no! Should you call your OB? FX they stop! Glad to hear DH is taking good care of you and your brood!

Good: H brought me home thin mints

Bad: DD is sick and miserable which makes everyone miserable. H went to get his car smogged and get a haircut. He was gone for 5 hours. Thanks a lot H, for taking a 5 hour break and leaving me with a sick toddler who is crying and asking for you. It's a good thing he brought me home thin mints...

Ugly: I'm covered in snot from the sick toddler. I'll be getting in the shower soon.

The good: DH and I are headed out for an awesome fancy dinner. I love price fixed menus so much... appetizer, main, and dessert, without having it all add up? Score.

The bad: I couldn't sleep last night. Kept waking up for no reason whatsoever. Sigh...

The ugly: My hair. Soooo flat.

coffee-saur

Right now I'm only feeling bad and ugly. I am exhausted today and have a lovely headache, and now the kiddos took a really short nap and DH has to work this afternoon and tomorrow.
He's supposed to have Sat afternoon and all day Sunday off, but with calving going on his boss thinks it's great to make him work extra hrs with no break in sight. It's really, really making me grouchy.

erind228

The good: my kids have spent almost all day at grandma and grandpa's playing with their cousins. I've been enjoying a quiet day at the house. Although, I'm kind of lonely without them. I don't know what to do with myself. The bad: Apparently, my Dad is mad at me. We haven't spoken in three weeks. It's over the dumbest thing, and I am tired of always reaching out when he and his dumb wife get their feelings hurt because things don't go her way. It's emotionally exhausting. The ugly: I am going to say my pubic hair was the ugly until I spent 10 minutes in the shower with a machete hacking it back.

@CDK211 That's really great that she has been checking in with you. I am so sorry you are going through this. Keep resting and I hope that they become fewer and farther between. Hugs to you m'lady!

@joules235 how freaking cute!

Good: my plans tonight got cancelled so now I'm chilling at home in my pj's eating popcorn and watching Banshee with DH.

Bad: nothing really!

Ugly: I gave my dog a bath and he ran off before I could dry him off, so my house is semi damp and smells like wet dog

Good: M is with MIL overnight, as we are going to a birthday adults-only dinner with friends. I love how she has this independent relationship with her grandmother, even if it means she skips happily away from us when we say goodbye.

Bad: pretty sure DH looks better than me. I barely got my shit together, and he looks kind of hipster cute. Maybe I'll see about getting lucky tonight, evening I feel guilty for not looking as good as I could have.

Ugly: I don't now what to get for dinner. I've been staring at the menu all day.

My wine will get to sit for months and months before I drink it this time, for the first time ever! I should have about 150-200 bottles when I am no longer pregnant.

Good: Went shopping with my mom and got some stuff for starting our nursery (finally!)

Bad: Stomach cramps, but definitely gastric related. Yuck. 

Ugly: My house. It is a mess. We have stuff everywhere because we have been painting and moving things around. I know it will look nice when it is done, but for now it makes me cringe looking at it.

Good: house is clean. Like, beautifully so. And I've worn H's sweats all day.

Bad: in trying really hard to control my sugar intake while pregnant but I want so much chocolate and ice cream.

Ugly: I want sex, but my vag has been swollen and painful the last two times.

pcourtade

The good: my family woke up happy and healthy and I started a new project today.

The bad: I just spent the last 45 minutes cleaning my dog's diarrhea out of our carpet. There is a good from that though, it didn't stain!

The ugly: our Star Trek DVD is scratched and now I can't ogle Chris Pine.

Good: DH brought home KFC for me. The nearest one is 35 miles away so it needed warmed,but it hit the spot.

 

Bad: I'm giving chiropractic care a shot to help with my son's ears and it's going to cost me $70/week for the next month, but if it works then it will be awesome.

 

Ugly: My coworker finally got pregnant after a 15 months of trying thanks to Clomid. She was having twins. She went back this week for follow up and one of them didn't have a HB. One measures 8w5d and the other stopped growing at 6w3d. She's sad and thankful all at once and I'm doing whatever I can to help her.

Had a pretty good day took my daughter to dance then a little shopping and found a couple of dress for family picture in a couple of weeks. Just have to figure out what one I am going to wear.

On the other hand my husband was not feeling good last night so he laid low today.

jenn72178

My Godson & nephew Johnny was Christened today..he was born 2 months early its nice to be able to celebrate this little chunka munk after worrying about him getting big and strong for months!

bebemac

@jenn72178 He's precious! Congrats!

ELC252011

Good: today's is my baby cousin baptism and they got a taco man to make us tacos. I've had like 5 already.
Bad: I'm to tired to enjoy the party
Ugly: I'm so itchy this reaction is getting terrible.

jenn72178

@ELC252011 no fair...we didn't get a taco truck! Color me jealous

RedMar

@jmar2011... Love the nursery! Ours is the same colors (added sage as well to the yellow and gray). Where did you get that glider?!!-it's amazing!

Good: I found awesome bins, baskets and a hamper today at Homegoods for the nursery! It's starting to come together!

Bad: Cannot stop my nose from running- it's chaffed, dry and red from blowing it so many times. I'm completely over this winterrrrrrrrr!!!

Ugly: I am still super sensitive to smells... Winterfresh gum, Italian dressing, old person cologne etc., all make me want to vom in addition to many other things...

ELC252011

@jenn72178. There is a lot left over ill send u some.

bumpuser9343355

Good:  DH just went to the market to get me mac n cheese, Greek fro yo, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Bad:  We should have been able to make some good progress on cleaning out my office and DH's office (future nursery) today but we spent most of the day on the couch instead.  And my body is so sore.  I feel like I just ran a marathon.

Ugly:  The house is a mess (this is nothing new) and just getting worse and worse each week.  Must force myself to do some cleaning tomorrow.

erind228

@MegK82, that sounds terrible. Are you still being monitored? Hopefully, it will offer the Dr. some good insight.

Yes!!! Wtf my vag is swollen too. I was just at the docs for a sugar checkup and he confirmed it... Why? Ugh

Ashes92813

The good: it's the weekend and I'm feeling ok.

The bad and ugly: in the ER with my husband. It looks like he has a massive kidney stone. I've never heard him scream and it's scaring me.

ELC252011

@Ashes92813 Oh no! Hope it passes soon. Kidney stones suck.

Ashes92813

@ELC252011, the doc said it looks like it can pass with a boatload of meds and painkillers. He's finally stopped screaming and the painkillers are working it's awful seeing him like this! I'll have a good pregnant cry later . Thank you for your thoughts!

Jaime5124

Ok, for the ladies with the swollen vag issues, I thought I was the only one & was trying to hold out until Monday to call my dr, any idea why this is happening & what I should be doing to help it or to help avoid it from happening?!? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for asking in a relevant thread instead of making your own SS thread about it. Little things like that go a long way here. 

I know that swelling (in any area) can be related to your sodium intake, water retention, and the increased blood flow of pregnancy. It shouldn't be too big of a deal, but if you are concerned is always worth mentioning to your Dr at your next appointment. GL!

bebemac

@mtgrizgirl Three things!

1. Awesome ring!
2. Your nails are fabulous!
3. At first glance I was like, "Whoa! Her middle finger is soooo tan!" Then I realized it was a shadow. Me dumb. b-(

JujuB22

Good: Had my bachelorette party and despite having to be sober it was a lot of fun.

Bad: Can't sleep. Fiance' is at his bachelor party and every time I fall asleep I have nightmares about it.

Ugly: Found out his party moved from a safe place to his douchey friend's house. The one friend of his that I absolutely can't stand and would have no issue getting him in trouble. So now I REALLY can't sleep. I trust my fiancé, but I really do not trust this certain friend.

jshrop

I'm a little late on this sorry.


The good: my best friends moved into their new house in my neighborhood yesterday.


The bad: I helped them move.


The ugly: I haven't eaten since 3pm yesterday and now I'm lying in bed starving, with a migraine, and feeling like total crud (and not feeling the whole breakfast thing).

elsa1688

@skamber I have done that before. It was cherry flavored so it was hot pink MoM everywhere.

It snowed last night but it already melted. Bf and I have been been fighting for like a day. I have been feeling the baby move less the last few days.

Hopefully today turns around and is my "good"

skamber said:

@elsa1688 yep it was the cherry:( it's so gross!! I don't know if I can ever take it again, and it REALLY helps me out in the constipation department

I was able to power through it again because it is SO helpful. I found a water or juice chaser and then quickly brushing teeth helps immensely. Hope you feel better!
