I let my son drink out of the water table, like, every day. It's always new water (from the hose). I figure the soapy bath water he drinks that night during bath time will kill any germs.
I noticed as I was dropping my daughter off with my step-mom for the day that my right front tire was almost flat. I am going to play dumb so my friend will come and fix it for me. I would rather not do it myself. Call me lazy.
I played the sick, pregnant lady card when I went on my neighborhood FB page and asked if anyone had a dorm fridge for my bedroom. Trying to navigate the stairs while holding my IV pole and Zofran pump every time I need a snack or water is just too much. 3 people have offered me a fridge.
Another - I am so glad I am having a girl so I don't even have to worry about the decision to circumcise or not. Good lookin' out husband's swimmers! =D>
Wednesday I ate supper and then had to run to town to get a gift for a bridal shower. I was so hungry that I stopped and got a second supper. Sushi roll, seaweed salad, miso soup.
Last weekend we had my little brother over. I LOVE him to death because he always sees me doing something and stops what he's doing to help (so if I'm loading the dishwasher, he searches the house for dishes, if hand washing dishes, he offers to rinse and put them to dry, he will see clean dishes and put them away, that sort of stuff).
But I was mostly unhappy he was here all weekend because I just wanted to not have to wear pants/shorts in my house.
Woke up at two am with horrible gas pains, realized my husband wasn't home still from work (he's a cop and had a late night dui stop) so for two hours I sit in pain only to finally fall asleep and then have him walk in at four and be in a bad mood and want to talk about- I told him to be stop talking I was trying to sleep...and he keeps going! STFU husband prego has to wake up in an hour for work!!! Ughhh

"Second Lunch" has totally become a thing for me now. No shame - if I'm hungry, I eat!

Today is my last day of vacation (not including the weekend), and DH took this whole last week off as well. We sent Nora to day care today so we can have an entire day to ourselves. We're going to go to lunch, maybe an afternoon matinee. I'm going to buy some back-to-school maternity clothes. I feel giddy.
The way my appointments worked out, my doctor didn't think it was necessary to schedule an appointment between 14 weeks and 20 weeks (unless I want to go in for reassurance). I was totally cool with that, but lately, I've been paranoid that something is wrong. I hate this feeling, and I hate even more knowing that I am pretty much going to be worried about something for the rest of my life, as I'm not deluded enough to think that once the baby is here, I'll stop being worried. lol.
I keep telling myself that the spina bifida blood test that came back normal last week means everything is fine, but I wish I could just hear the heartbeat before the A/S. I kind of hate this anxious bundle of nerves that I am. I feel like a psycho.

I'm more into second breakfast!
YES! I have been loving up on egg sandwiches.
Eggsactly I made a few sandwiches this past weekend with egg, cheese, and ground turkey sausage so I have one to take with me to work after 1st breakfast. I think I may keep doing this!
I think the timing of Friday weddings make all the difference. I did get frustrated when my cousin got married on a Friday at 1pm. I was working part time while finishing my Masters and working at my unpaid internship. Since I was only getting paid 3 days per week it sucked that the wedding was on one of those 3 days. I ended up switching shifts with someone and working a 16 hour 2nd/3rd shift on Thursday and then going straight to the wedding, only to find out they were "nice" enough to give all of us cousins"jobs" we were never asked about (pinning flowers, handing out programs). F that. For that wedding just about everything was rude and not thought out. No real confession, just still stabby after 2 years lol
So I just mentioned last week that I let my husband sleep in bed even though he is a snorer and I'm a light sleeper. Well, I have an ear infection and can't use my earplugs. So last night I told him to sleep on the couch. At about 2:30, there was a storm and I told him to come in because I was scared (I'm that person). But then mayyybe an hour later his snoring was getting to me too much. So, I kicked him back out to the couch. He was not very happy. 8->

I'm so annoyed this morning!! Custodial parents: If you receive child support and refuse to work, get a GED and drivers license and the non custodial parent frequently sends the child back to you with new clothes, please don't ask them to buy shoes and winter clothes for the kid! Get your ass to work. Fuck. And SO, if the child's mom asks you to buy shit for the kid and you go ahead and do it even though you already pay her... don't fucking tell me about it.
I've been a single mom for 11 years (only 8 if you count when my SO came into the picture) and never once would I ask my kids father for anything outside of child support.ugh!!
I hate taking showers these days. They are so tiring and they already make me feel breathless. have gone beyond a day without a shower. Ewww that does not sound good, does it? @-) I wish this could be one of those things that someone else could do it on my behalf once in a while.
@idontevenknow my cousin has custody of her kids and I guess her ex is going back to court to pay less child support... And she is pissed, but what makes me question the whole thing was my mom was saying how if he pays less how they won't get to keep their house, and I'm like why would child support make a difference in their house they shouldn't have a house that they can't afford if they don't have it! And my mom was like well if they get less then the kids won't be able to do as many activities because it will go to the house. And I'm still sitting here thinking, why get a house you can't afford without child support? I feel bad for the kids but it makes me question the parents...
I should add that they might not lose the house either it will just make things tighter...
Bonus FFFC: DS and I got in the car to go to town (15 miles away) for groceries and I completely forgot my car was out of gas. Got on the interstate before I realized it, with no way to get to a gas station and no way to turn around. Currently parked in a friends drive way waiting for DH to come rescue me. I'm an idiot.
Today I'm having one of those days where I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to have two kids so close together. My son has been crying since 730 this morning and I have zero clue what's wrong. Zero. And I wish they made baby Z Quil

ME TOO! It's exhausting. I've had to start taking baths just so I can sit.

That blows. I'm the custodial parent of my daughter, and I never ask her father to buy her anything specifically, but he will get her school supplies, and he provides her clothing while she is there on visitation; I don't mind because the incoming child support is less than regular, so the more he offers to get her, the less I have to get since I'm not getting money from him for her anyway.
On the other hand, FI is the non-custodial parent of his daughter, and last year we sent a big box of clothes (in-good-shape hand-me-downs from my daughter, and a couple of new outfits for her to start school with), and her mother had the nerve to complain that we sent her dirty clothes (mind you, I paid $20 to ship a huge box to Virginia from NY), and then proceeded to ask on FB for consignment shops in the area because she needed to buy her new clothes and didn't have a lot of money. Really, there was nothing wrong with the clothes we sent. She ALSO continues to send her up here with a suitcase full of clothes that are 1-2 sizes too small.
I'm having a really hard time "bonding" with this baby. I just feel nothing. Really trying to change that, but not sure how.
Don't sweat it. It's hard to "bond" with something we can't see. I didn't feel a connection to my daughter until months after she was born! It was so different with my son, I felt it right from the start. With this one, I forget I"m even pregnant half the time. Don't worry, it'll come all in its own time.

I've considered getting one of those old person shower chairs.

I've been showering every 3 days so I guess that makes me a real scummer. It's not really hot here, and my hair hasn't been getting as oily in between like it normally does non-pregnant.

Some people dont know how good they have it! Id never ask for anything extra outside child support in fact id just be happy if he paid that! Or half our daughters medical bills or half her medications or scratch that! A bag of milk even! Anything! id be grateful for
@amiej1227 wow... that is a crazy situation. The mom should have enough for the house without support... just in case. I definitely understand that support can go towards shelter... but not all of it.
Questions re: child support and housing. If on your own you can afford a one bedroom condo but you need a 2-3 bedroom house because of children why shouldn't some of the child support go towards paying for the larger home? If the couple was together would they not both be contributing for a larger home to support the family/said children?
I instantly ignore posts (on here, Facebook, hell even emails) if you start every word with a capital letter. It Is Really Annoying And Way More Work For You.
Seriously, it must take people at least twice as long to type like that when stopping to capitalize every word!
I'm on mobile and my phone automatically tries to do this sometimes. It mostly happens when I use Swype. I'll have to delete and manually type everything to fix it. So it may be a technical issue and not someone trying to capitalize.
same. My swipe capitalizes all the time. I'm too lazy to fix.

Sorry got off on a tangent. Co-parenting is HARD.
