Re: Wednesday Randoms

  • I worry all the time that IRL lurkers are reading what I write. It's scary to think about!
    I don't think anyone close to me knows that I post here. As far as acquaintances, I always wonder if there is anyone out there that knows me IRL. It's weird.

  • @SPurp13‌ Labor buddy, you look great and I love that dress! My random is today is a busy baby day for me. My follow up A/S is today to check on the placenta, then I head over to my OB for my GTT and my checkup. Then I have two day care tours scheduled to see if we can find something cheaper but as adequate as the one I already looked at. Keep your fingers crossed for my GTT...all I want to do right now is bake and eat a yellow cake with chocolate frosting for breakfast.
    @kfitzguerra Thanks Labor Buddy! Yellow cake with chocolate icing was my dad's FAAAVORITE. Now I want some. Update everyone on the GTT/A/S.

  • My bump app keeps giving me the same update to tell me I'm 32 weeks today. I swear its given me the notification 10 times in the last 15 minutes! Make it stop!

  • @spurp13 you look so good! I love your dress!

    I feel like I'm dying today. Everything hurts and I slept awful, so I'm crabby. 3rd tri is fun.

    Also I had to put a maintenance request in for our townhouse today because I accidentally flushed the lid to my Clarisonic down the toilet. I swear I have no idea how it happened, but I feel like such an idiot.

  • And thanks everyone for the Love-Titties!

    It's a good picture. I'm happy with it. I just feel like I don't look like that in real life, you know? I never feel comfortable in front of a camera. Worst Critics Ever. But I'm HOPING the rest turn out ok, like the ones with my husband, obviously, but he's the same as me. We're so awkward in photos.

    STMs, I need help!

    I have to buy a dress for a wedding when I'll be 35 weeks, but I would like to buy the dress online, so I would like to buy it a few weeks ahead of time.  Do you think purchasing a dress at 31w and expecting it to fit at 35 is a bad idea?  Or should I just order multiple sizes and order closer to the actually wedding?  I'd sort of like to also wear the dress at my shower, when I'll be 34w.

    Thanks! 

    The 2 dresses in question:

    5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional.  5 BFPs.  My rainbow arrived 10/15/14.
    TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.

  • @golfingdarwinfish Look at the one I posted on page 1. It's Motherhood Maternity, and I bought it at 16 weeks, and I'd assume I'd be able to wear it straight to the end because of how it's cut. They have a similar one in black with white dots (different pattern), too.

    It's comfy as all get-out. Like a tent. I'm wearing it again today, actually.

  • My insurance is giving me a double electric Ameda pump. I don't know how I feel about it.

    I need to scour the boards for Ameda stuff now.
  • I love the name Winston!!
    It's my husbands name I love it too I would use it for our son but DH does not want a Jr.

  • I have mentally checked out of work and can't stand being here.  I know it's going to be even harder to come back after the *generous* 6 weeks they're giving me off, unpaid.  
    Me too! I wish my days were way more interesting than they actually are.  I-)

  • It's only 10:30 & I've already taken an hour long nap... I wish I could just get a solid night sleep & catch up. This is just going to be one of those days I guess.

    Me too. I'm fucking done.

    My boss started pestering me yesterday about when I'm going on leave. So I started the process of talking to HR about it. I am terrified of having this meeting with HR because I sort of have to take off until January 5th. Period. I have no child care until then. So, if this baby comes super early....it will be more than 12 weeks.

    According to the paperwork HR sent me yesterday, they say if I want more than 12 weeks, I can use PTO first, then STD/FMLA does not start until the baby is born. If I need extra, I take up to 3 months Personal Leave after the baby. So, I SHOULD be covered. But I need to make sure being away longer than 12 weeks will not affect my benefits/job status. I'm nervous. I'm going to talk to them in like 20 minutes.

  • @golgingdarwinfish - no advice since I am a FTM, but both dresses are gorgeous! Either is a good choice!

    **Quote box fail**

    The field I work in is really interesting and should be pretty fun, but I don't like my job and the people trying to run this business clash and it's awkward.  Plus my supervisor/office mate is whiny ALL the time and is super passive aggressive about everything and I'm just annoyed and over it.

  • Oh my gosh you Guise! I am working from home and turned on TLC in the background and that show I didn't know I was pregnant came on! I don't know why I am watching this!! It makes me freak out and want to cry when I see the babies! I couldn't imagine not knowing that I was pregnant! It amazes me when these women sit on a toilet and think they pooped and really they had a baby! I am not judging I know shit happens, but wow!

    My random... I'm waiting to hear back from my HR lady to see if they can accommodate me because of the restrictions my doctor gave me for work... Otherwise I'll be off from now until baby comes. I want to work as long as possible, but I wish she'd hurry up and calk me back because I'm getting anxious not knowing.... :/
    Also it was supposed to be my day off today, but apparently my boss changed the schedule and "forgot to tell me" so now I'm expected to go in to work. Isn't there some kind of rule that if they change the schedule they need to tell you?!? Ugh. I'm irritated.

    @SPurp13‌ your pic is gorgeous! I'm jealous!

    @FamousEa‌ & @Raesofsunshine1‌ happy birthday to your DDs!!

    That dress looks much more fabulous on you than it did me!  I posted the 2 dresses I'm considering, and they're a bit more formal.

  • Speaking of fur babies, my dog has been limping and so sad lately. I feel so sad for her. She is 11 so I guess it is expected but it breaks my heart.

    I had a nightmare a couple of nights ago that they said we had to put her down, and I woke up sobbing on my husband's shoulder. I know that is irrational - she probably just has arthritis.

    We are at the vet now, and I just want them to fix it!!! :((

  • Blech, I just got heartburn from a banana and a blueberry muffin. 

    @golfingdarwinfish I love both dresses too!  I don't have any advice about the sizing, though.  I would probably order normal size and a size up like the other ladies have said.

    @MrsSarahRenee I think you asked about our dresser toward the end of yesterdays random?  I posted about it, but tl;dr a drawer is majorly screwed up and they want to replace the whole dresser, which is great, but will take 10-12 weeks b/c it's backordered.  Ugh. That's my due date basically. If you didn't ask, ignore this! :D

  • I think sometimes (at least with me) the .... Is reflex... Lol
  • @Spurp13 you look beautiful and your dress is very cute!


    My in-laws want us to go to the water park with them this weekend so I tried on my bathing suit for the first time in a month, and the top doesn't fit anymore!  Stupid big pregnancy boobs.

    I love them both, but I think the second one would grow more with the belly a bit, AND i like it better, because of the lace. Maybe I'm just partial because of the lace. Dunno...

    It always seems weird when people on FB comment on something like this - "Happy Birthday....." Or "congratulations....." Like what's with the ..... Do they not mean it?
    One of our sales guys does this in every email he sends to clients.  I think it looks so unprofessional!  For instance, an email from him would look like this:

    Hi Name...

    Your agreement is now up and we just need a signature from you...

    I'm still not quite clear on how you mistake labor with having to take a shit...
    My thoughts exactly! Wouldn't you be able to feel the difference???!

  • A lady at work is throwing me a shower. A very sweet gesture, but OMG look at how she worded the email to the office. I couldn't believe it. It makes me sound like a gift grabby notch. And I can't really say anything to her about it:

    "Leah is having her first baby, and it’s a girl! 
    We’d love it if you came by to share her excitement with some cake and ice cream,  and some well needed things for baby.  She is registered at Babies R Us and Target.  All you have to do is go online and search by her name.  She received a ton of baby clothes already, and really is in need of items on her registry. We hope to see you there after your lunches for fun and treats."

    WTF WITH THE BOLDED. I just cant even. How embarrassing.

    LOL omg. That is too much.
    Srsly!! I can't believe she put that. Now everyone will think I'm asking for certain gifts. Uhh NO. If anyone is going to get me anything, I'll be more than thankful. I just hope no one thinks I actually said that... X_X


    LOL. I know I'm probably in the minority, but I wouldn't have been offended by it (as a guest). I can see why it would have been mortifying for you though!
