We still haven't found a place to move to and it's causing a ton of stress. H and I got in a huge argument yesterday, luckily Ava was napping and our friend who lives with us was not home. But it was HUGE but luckily we both got it out of our systems and after tears (from us both) we pulled it together and worked it out. This whole situation is sure putting our relationship to the test.
I twisted/sprained 4 vertebrates in my upper back a couple weeks ago plus I have a flare up of costochondritis in my chest (it's SO painful - hurts to laugh, breath, sneeze, etc) so I have been in awful pain. The last few days I've had to live on Vicodin to make it through the day. My father in law managed to get me in last night to see our Osteopath who has been able to fix me last time I twisted my pelvis really badly. My appointment wasn't until Oct 1 but since he knows her he pulled some strings to get me in sooner. After the treatment I could barely move all night but today it's finally starting to feel better. I still can't lift Ava or do too much which really sucks, I feel like I'm behind in everything.
I don't know what to do for Nathaniel. The first week and a half of kindergarten were great. He told us to leave because he was fine. Last Friday he had a meltdown and was crying and screaming that he wanted to be with me. The same thing happened today. I feel horrible but I don't know how to make him feel better about going, especially when the first 8 days were so good.
Try sending a family pic with him. I usually also recommend giving him something of yours he can hold onto/wear to remind him of you. Maybe a watch or keychain.
To all the very pregnangt/about to have the baby ladies out there - hang on! Very soon you are going to hold your precious babies. Try to do something you will not have time for after the baby comes - like haircut, mani/pedi or something like that.
@zyas - sorry you are having so much problems all at once. Physical pain makes everything looks so much darker... Hope you get relieve soon and find a good place to move.
@summergirl - if you don't find anybody to join you on the trip can you go by yourself? I actually like to go to vacation by myself - it is the time to have peace, reflect and do whatever I want. You might enjoy it. I understand your decision not to go with your H, giving the circumstances...
@hijoi - I don't have any advice but can commiserate. Veronica started preschool 2 weeks ago and she is crying every day at drop off. Breaks my heart every morning
@jfresh - big hugs. It is so sad and hard to see your child delaying in some ways ( I had multiple problems with my first son). Stay strong - Olivier is a wonderful boy and you are a great mom. @KSKim thank you for your words, they really resonated with me - I struggled a lot with the conflict of expectations from my child and his ability. You phrased it perfectly...
@summergirl I would also try calling your travel contact number and explaining the situation. They're sometimes willing to bend the rules in special circumstances.
@jfresh I'm sorry for what you're going through. Oliver is a very smart child, and while he may struggle later, he'll have a great mother that will be there to support him.
I'm 40w6d pregnant, with an induction possible tomorrow. I really didn't want to be induced, but I'd rather baby be healthy than stick to my birth plan. I thought going for a walk/jog might be a good idea, but my pelvic floor is telling me it was a pretty stupid one. At least there's an end in sight and I'll soon have my squishy baby!
@hiljoi aww, that's sad I hope N starts liking it again soon!
@summergirl1211 damn that really sucks that they can't (or won't) change the name on the ticket. My fingers are crossed for you that you can find a friend to go!
@jfresh hugs!!! I'm sorry to hear all that stuff you're dealing with right now.
Well I was going to bitch about looking like a beluga whale, but fuck that.
Hugs all around to all the J12 laides!

It's hot. I wish I could go back to Montana where the air is crisp. I can't take this so Cal weather anymore! It's supposed to be 95 next week!

@Camskate I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. Hugs girl, I can't imagine how difficult that is!
@JFresh I've met you and Oliver and he is a great little kid! No matter what his delays may be he is a delight and you are an AWESOME mom @somethingcleverer that is so annoying. I won't lie, sometimes I'm on my phone too much when I'm with Dagny and she'll try and take it from me and I feel so guilty and put it away for a while so it happens but I realize when she's trying to get my attention, hope your H can realize the same!
@summergirl1211 hugs lady, I'm sorry you're going through such a rough time. Would totally volunteer for Hawaii if I had an extra grand laying around Honestly, I would go on my own! But I also don't mind going to restaurants by myself, I do it often. Just bring a book and order good food, good glass of wine and you're set! Think about it!
Oh also, @Jfresh did you check the clothes you were wearing before you got in the shower??
Re: Wednesday Woes
Even though I restarted the pill AF has shown up when I was trying to skip this month.
DD#1 has been having serious jealousy issues and it's leading to horrendous tantrums. And DH leaves in a week for a month long work trip.
Oh, so many woes!

@zyas - you will get through this! It's crappy but temporary.
