I need maternity leave to come ASAP.  This has been me at work for at least the past month.  I'm just over it.

That's been me since my BFP! lol

@theresat858‌ Just use the men's room!

@lurkernomore2‌ My parents are going up north for the weekend, so DH and I are staying at their house to dogsit. I'm pretty pumped because I'm obsessed with that dog and can't wait to spend a whole weekend's worth of quality time with her! :x

Maybe this should be it's own thread - but just curious if people have exciting plans for the 3 day weekend? 

We were all set to spend time in MI with my sis and parents but since I have a cold and haven't been sleeping....I am saying no to coughing and not sleeping in a hotel room with DD in the same room.  We are going to find local things to do and try and meet up for a day trip on Sunday rather than a weekend away.

Anyone else doing something/last chance to get away depending on how many weeks you are??

 

We only have one free weekend in September, so this weekend we are cramming in time with couples we want to see pre-baby, I have a few lunches planned, and DH has a golf tournament Sat - Mon.  I'd like to visit a friend in the Hamptons Sunday, but I'll probably be too lazy to go come Sunday morning.

Spurp13   No, she doesn't, but maybe that would make more sense.  It's very weird to me.

MrsBabe614   diaper sprayers have many purposes.  Just saying....

WHAT is this diaper sprayer you speak of and why don't I know about it?

I think next tips/tricks Tuesday the STM's need to explain hygiene with a giant baby in your stomach. Seriously the logistics of just wiping at this point are as complicated as open heart surgery. 

Don't look to me for advice. I am a STM and this morning I maybe peed on my own feet.

I'm surprised I got anything in the cup at my last appointment. I can't see my own vag, HOW do you expect me to be able to pee in this cup?!?

I hate car shopping; it's so incredibly stressful.  I wish I could just keep my car

What are you looking for?

I'm going to look at a Subaru Impreza this week.  I have a 2-door Civic that I love but definitely won't work with 2 car seats.  I was looking at a Prius but our driveway is so steep we can't make the turn in without bottoming out

bumpuser10309732

We're doing maternity photos this weekend. DH's cousin is doing them. I hope she makes me feel pretty!

It's an attachment that hooks up to the toilet to spray off cloth diapers. It looks kind of like a kitchen sink sprayer, but on the toilet. Basically its a handheld bidet.

Well good luck! I love Subarus.

No real plans yet. DH was supposed to work on Monday which is our 2 yr anniversary (yay!) but that's been changed so he's working on Saturday instead. Which is nice that I'll actually be able to celebrate my anniversary WITH my husband. Probably just pick up some stuff for lo and the swing which is our last big purchase and maybe go shopping for an outfit for my maternity photos. Have NO idea what we'll do for our anniversary yet though.

My boss told me to go home early again today! I'm going to go to Michaels and look for stuff to make a mobile for the nursery and get some frames for a few wedding pictures.

Guys. A young barista at Starbucks just told me she is three weeks pregnant. I didn't know what to make of that so I just congratulated her. 

MrMrsandBaby

I just booked three appointments for myself on our 10 year anniversary next week...with my OB, Chiropractor and GP?  womp womp

I have the window open in my office, and our neighbor is yelling at his 8 year old son about what a wimp he is Some parents make me really sad. I just want to give the poor kid a hug as he tries not to cry.

I've been incredibly swamped at work lately and have only had time to jump on here for a few minutes a day, but I had to post this:

That's fucking horrible.

There's a woman who is in one of my local mom groups on Facebook and I want to actually punch her in the throat.  Every.single.day. (or at least it feels that way) she makes a post about how tough her life is because her husband travels a lot for work and she's often home alone with their 2 year old daughter.  Everything in her life is always so effing dramatic.  And it's complaint after complaint.

No bullshit, yesterday she posted a picture of her brand new, fresh pee stick in the group.  It's still really light, so it's like, she's probably not even to the point where she missed a period yet.  Now her new drama is talking about wanting a VBAC and ranting about her last experience.  Seriously lady???  Take a deep fucking breath and chill out.  You're about 43 minutes pregnant.  Not everything needs to be so extra all the time.

Admittedly this woman is (one of) my bitch eating crackers, so it's probably why she irritates me so much.  Though there's a woman in another group who said a few days ago that she thinks she's pregnant because she really wanted to drink water that day and that's how she was at the beginning of her other 2 pregnancies.  By her calculations, she was 6dpo.  And made, no joke, at least 4 different posts in about a day and a half talking about how she was pregnant or "is most likely pregnant."

I just needed to get all that off my chest.

In other holy shit news, the parents of a cadet I tutored for three years just sent us the jogging stroller we registered for! Uhh, WTF?! So generous! 

You may remember that I said everyone at our last shower chipped in to buy the stroller. Yeah. So now we will be taking a jogging stroller shaped gift card back to Target. Wow, wow. Awesome. 

pnwlover12

I know two people due in January and they bitch incessantly (sp? Looks weird to me) about being pregnant. It is annoying as hell. I mean, I bitch to MH and to you guys, but not on FB. It especially bothers me because they aren't even 20 weeks yet. I want to tell them to shut it so bad.

VIRGINIA TECH HOME GAME, BITCHES.

Now that I said that all flamboyantly, they will lose in a spectacular fashion.

It's the only season ticket we are using this year. I feel bad for my husband. But. Not.

Another random:

Dd had a speech therapy eval today and is going to start therapy 1x week for pronunciation and vocab building, but we have to wait for our insurance to pre-auth the therapy.

I feel sad for DD because I don't want her to have a hard time in preschool communicating with her teacher or peers. My H had a speech issue as a kid too, and got made fun of hardcore.

krysngreg

LO was super shy at her 3d. And the lady kept trying to poke at her. It's made me super mad and upset. I didn't think that they are supposed to do that. It was to the point I had to say it hurt. She is shy. Why would poking her work to get her to look at us! Not like she even knows we were trying.

Now I'm driving ,...... Yay

I don't think you should feel sad. You're getting her the help she needs! My BIL also had speech issues all through until high school (I believe). Even now, if he talks fast, we're like "slow down buddy, what are you saying?" But, it really didn't slow him down or anything. He went to college, has a great job (better than mine), and is married*. Most people wouldn't even realize he ever had issues.

I bought an additional set of seats (in admittedly a way crappier area than my normal seats) just to be able to have handicap accessible seating.  Mostly because no way in hell am I going to be able to walk the stairs in the stadium in just a few weeks--I remember the last football season where I was pregnant and walking out of the stadium made me want to cry every time.  But also because no way in hell do I want to miss our rivalry game at the end of November, so I'm planning on bringing my newborn, putting those ear protection earmuffs on, and babywearing.  I'll probably miss all the games between my EDD and that game, but I'm too committed to seeing at least the rivalry game.

My sister had a few years of speech therapy as a child, and this year she started a masters program in speech pathology.

There's something very wrong with those women! 

I also have a woman in my local moms group who is always posting all kinds of drama. She lost custody of her daughter recently and will post all kinds of things about it, has asked for rides, baby clothes, and even an Iphone. She said something like living with her parents was the reason why her daughter was taken away... somehow the home wasn't appropriate or safe for the little girl, and yet a few days later she recommended her mom's at home daycare to someone else. There are some weird people out there!

My random:

Since becoming pregnant, one of the things I've missed the most are bloody marys. I get my fix by just making them virgin, because what I really miss the most is the salty, spicy tomato juice and yummy pickled veggie garnishes. Well about a month ago or so, my husband did a news story on a local beekeeper, and she gave him a big jar of her homemade dill pickles. O.M.G. They are the best pickles ever. I currently have two sitting in a big glass of Clamato juice over ice. Heaven!

Also, Boy Meets World is on TV. Life is good. 

TheOtherJacobsons

JFC! My co-worker just came by and told me that I had a little water retention in my feet. FUCK YOU! I feel my ankles and I feel bone. You fucking bitch! 

Phew, I feel better now.

I'm considering buying a pair of darkish red flats for the fall&winter, but I can't decide if the color is too bold for me....  

LightBright515

I went to the beach finally.

After being around people I haven't seen in probably 18 years...it annoys me to see adult picky eaters and complainers.

It's been nothing but "I could NEVER do that!" And "Why would anybody want to do that!?"

Just stop.

We are missing a few BSC people like that here.*  On my last BMB, there were a few people whose lives were straight up Encyclopedia Drammatica.  I couldn't even keep up with some of the shenanigans.  

Also, I love that she asked for an iPhone.  Because when you don't have your own way of transportation or clothing for your baby, an iPhone is definitely a top priority.

It's awesome that you are getting her the help she needs early in order to prevent issues later. One of my really good friends is a pathologist. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a speech issue

pnwlover12

Thanks for all the support for my DD, guys. :x
I know she will be okay, and even the speech therapist said her understanding and interaction skills are through the roof. It just breaks my heart thinking about her not being able to communicate easily.

MrsSarahRenee

I have been reading and keeping up but with work this week starting back up, I am just tired and busy.

My anxiety is also crazy through the roof and my therapist cancelled my appt this week (very unlike her - she is pregnant and due mid-oct like me so FX she is okay). DH is away/busy all weekend and I am bummed and down. Lots of tears lately. I am so thankful for all your funny gifs and snarkiness the last couple of days though. So thanks for that
