Woke up to a passive aggressive email from my Dad. Written at 6:30am. Asking why I won't help them paint their new house. Sigh. It's too early for this shit.
I don't wanna work this week. I did it to myself though. I'm working 6 out of 7 days, YAY for OT! We have a girl on maternity leave & our front office has an open position so there's lots of shifts to be picked up. I figure I might as well work while I still feel like it, but this many11hr days sucks balls. *shrugs*
**for those of you concerned, 2 of the days I'm covering front office so I get to sit the other 4 I'm up on my feet the majority of the day.
BFP#4 3/17/14 - rainbowBaby BOY arrived 11/10/14 !!
Beautiful pic! Where did you stay? We went to Punta Cana for our honeymoon and stayed at the Iberostar Grand Bavaro.
This year we stayed at Secrets Royal Beach - it was nice. We were a group of 10 though and they were a bit unaccommodating. We stayed at Iberostar a few years ago! I think we still have a towel from there (my in-laws are kleptos) :P
Woke up to a passive aggressive email from my Dad. Written at 6:30am. Asking why I won't help them paint their new house. Sigh. It's too early for this shit.
Also got another bitching email from my Dad this weekend about how the in-laws and I offend him. He is such a five year old. They are all ignoring his AW but I feel obligated to respond...
Alllllso, DH woke me up at 5am because he couldn't find his shaker bottle. So I lost an hour of precious sleep.
Both mother's are driving me nuts! Every time we see my MIL and she asks how things are going she always brings it back to when she was pregnant and how different things are or says "We didn't have that!" Of course not, I am married to your youngest child and he is going to be 30!!!!!! THINGS CHANGE! AND, then she always brings it around to how she is going to be a grandmother and takes all of the focus and spotlight to how HER life is changing. This is her first grandchild and I am thrilled that she is excited, but how about your son becoming a parent? My husband and I don't ever seek attention and unlike the rest of that side of the family, don't care to make a big deal out of things. However, maybe just this ONCE she could stop comparing everything to herself and realize that this time it IS about us.
Then, my mother... I explained to her that we are going to feed our child the same as we eat which is clean, mostly organic and absent of fast food. She laughed at me and said "Yeah, right. But not when he is with his grandmother". I do not care what other people eat and did not condemn her or others for their eating habits, I just said we are not going to feed him food we wouldn't eat ourselves. I couldn't believe she was so disrespectful of my choices! And this isn't the first time - when I told her I was breastfeeding she said it was a bad choice and her friend had a bad experience (her friend's daughter is 26...) and I should just go formula because breastfeeding is over rated. She did apologize for that one, but I am waiting for her to apologize for the food comments. She also tells my father and I that we are "too obsessed" with eating well, being fit and improving our running (my dad, husband and I run marathons). UGH!
1) I haven't felt any real movements from LO in over a week. I use my home Doppler and hear him flopping around like crazy and a storng heart beat but at almost 24 weeks I'm ready to feel SOMETHING!
2)I'm WAY behind in current events but last night on S4 finale of breaking bad Gus done got his face BLOWN. OFF! It was awesome...but I kind of miss him already

I wish I was feeling stronger movements also. I do feel small wriggles and an occasional kick, but it's still very random and not very pronounced. I know it's still early and everyone is different.
Why won't you poop on the potty DS and why do you hold your poop in? We have had to give you 2 suppositories within the last week which is no fun for you or mommy/daddy. Please poop, it's glorious.
My bitch is about mangoes. They were on sale at the store for $1, so I bought three. I failed to Google "How to cut mangoes" and so I did not realize that a special procedure is required. I peeled them, which you are not supposed to do first, and then couldn't cut them, and made a giant mess. Then DH got mango pulp all over my new placemat from Pier One. HMPF

Apparently we have the same MIL. Mine is forever saying about how when she was pregnant with DH (who is 34!) they did XYZ, and how he was so huge she had to have a C-section, and one of his feet was stuck in her ribs for the last 2 months, blah, blah, blah. And she's definitely "Me-monstering" the shit out of this pregnancy.

So delicious, yet so frustrating. The first time I bought one I had the same mess and had like 2 pieces to eat.
I bought a mango cutter. It helps but I still feel like I am getting ripped off at the end - it should totally yield more than it does!
Besides my bitches from last night - starting Friday I am working 6 out of 8 12 hour (usually 13) days. I have pitting edema still from working two days ago. I'm trying to keep my feet up and drink a lot of water, but I don't even want to imagine how swollen my feet/ankles are going to be at the end of all this work!
Adding to that - I wish all my coworkers were helpful and had a good attitude. I was drowning pretty much from the get go Saturday, and two of them just sat and talked and surfed the web most of the day. They are kind of bitches, and would have totally drug their feet if I asked for help so I didn't. Instead, I barely had time to eat, drink, pee, or sit.
I am going to pick up a pair of TED hose (my OB called them in for me) today or Wednesday. Hopefully that will help some with the swelling.

It's Monday, I am the only one in the office because the other two are on a work trip and vacation, and my boss keeps adding to my already lengthy to-do-list that has me super stressed out already. It's frustrating because she doesn't understand a lot of the technical side to things, so she doesn't understand just how much she is asking me to do.

2) DH and I fell in love with a Peg Perego stroller. I thought the hard part was out of the way since we had decided on the model. The easy part would be choosing the fabric..right? WRONG!! The fabric that I want does not come in the system that I want. Wahhhh!!!! Now, we are back to looking at the other models because I don't want a cream fabric (It will get dirty SO easily) and I don't want a pink fabric. The employee helping us at buy buy baby was of no help either. He was all...well you can have THIS fabric or THIS one. Which one????? You would think that all of the fabrics would be interchangable with each model. I feel like I am being too big of a bitch to fuss over fabric colors...sigh...
I'm gonna jump on The Moms bandwagon. In fact, my FFFC and/or worst habit post was gonna be about MIL... I seem to automatically switch on defensive mode around her these days. I'm not sure if it's Momma Bear Syndrome already or what, but that BSC woman is making me crazy(er). My husband totally backs me up and has no problem calling her out (which is awesome!), but I don't tell him all of the nutty comments and off the wall remarks that she makes because I'm trying to be mindful of appropriately choosing my battles as I'm sure they'll escalate in November and beyond. She just can't get it through her skull that we have no intention of letting our newborn child stay at their house (without us!) for overnight visits. She just asked over the weekend if we could meet so she could pick up her baby since they got the crib set up - like trying to make a joke of it is gonna grate my nerves any less at this point? She constantly reminds us that it's her baby too and I need to stop being stingy and difficult. I know they're excited but come on man! Back off already! Shew! Thanks y'all. Guess I really needed to get that out of my system. Again.
I birthed a palm sized blot clot last night at 2am. 'Nough said.
:S do you have a doctors appointment to check on everything? Please keep us posted!
Yes, you should definitely go get this checked out!!

I went to L&D over the weekend and didn't really get any answers. Hoping to see midwife this week, otherwise have an appt for next week on 7/22. They don't seem to have any answers. I'm just waiting for PTL after all my research... We shall see!!

Fuck no. Is your DH telling her to knock the shit off? Unless the baby is growing in her uterus or she's gone through legal adoption channels, this is NOT her baby. No.
MIL once referred to the baby as "my baby" as she patted my belly. I gave her one freebie. She does it again and I will be saying something. Nope. I am not putting myself through pregnancy for HER. Fuck that noise.
I am starting to consider making a twitter account kind of like "Dear Girls Above Me" where I post snark about my neighbors setting off fireworks for holidays only they know about.
Seriously, they do it all year long on random days. Last night, for example. I think they're either celebrating Bastille Day or the end of the World Cup.

Um how about you ask what was meant by what you wrote instead of assuming if you didn't understand? I type fast and my thoughts are in short intervals so it sounds clear to me... but if it sounds like something I wouldn't normally post, just fucking ask.

My work husband is off today so I'm bored out of my mind. He's my new cube neighbor and 900 million times better than Sir Snorts A Lot.
That's the worst. I actually got "separated" from my work husband. We used to sit next to each other, but we are technically in two different departments. My department was moved a little ways away and everyone kept asking if we were going to be okay not working next to each other. I still wonder if we were moved because we caused a distraction. I can't help it if we laugh most of the day. We're both super hilarious.
@ckwick is there another hospital you can try?!? That is unacceptable to me. Go DEMAND better care and answers. I know you went over the w/e, but I can't believe they let you leave. Bleeding like that is NOT normal. Sorry if I come off is bitchy, but that us pretty concerning to read. Be your baby's advocate!!!

Gah.... You are such a nice person....or maybe i'm that big of a B .. Cuz I would be calling them with each big incident .. Especially this new larger clot you experienced .... That can't be "normal" for them--- they need to be doing a level two or more in depth u/s to see where the bleeding is coming from. If your body is forming that big of a clot it means there's a lot of blood coming out of someplace... An if that big of a clot is coming out it means your cervix is quite open... Both two scary situations. Please start harassing them to take this situation more seriously.
