My feet are still hurting from the weekend. I'm too tired and achy to get my butt into the shower and get ready for work. I haven't even gotten out of bed and I hate everyone.
I'm so exhausted from this weekend - I could have stayed in bed all day. I spent Saturday morning running errands to try and move the house reno along. Then I spent the rest of the day painting the staircase. Yesterday was my baby shower and it was awesome, but dang, I'm so sleepy! AND I just found out a woman at work who is due the day before me is stopping work at the end of the week. I'm so jealous!!! ( I want 6 weeks off before the baby is due!
I'm with @missnacholover ... This new pelvic pain is definitely not cool. I swear it instantly developed over the weekend & I'm guessing it's not going to let up till this little boy is out.

YES! It was so sudden. I went upstairs to start getting things organized for my hospital bag and it was like, WHAM! It seems to come and go for me, but is around more than it's not. NOT COOL.
Went to a wedding Sturday night... Enjoyed good food and lots of dancing but stayed out way too late (since when is 1am too late???) so Sunday I paid for it.... My everything still hurts today and sitting down at my desk is literally a pain in the a$$ thanks to the vericose veins...
Good morning ladies! My hips/pelvis also hurt like an SOB this morning. I suspect it is from 4 hours of riding in the car yesterday. Then I couldn't find my car keys this morning - STILL haven't found them - a friend picked me up for work, I am now going to be working til 6 and I'm going to miss my Gentle Yoga class tonight.
Eff this day. Eff it in its stupid A.
N14 January Siggy Challenge - What Sucks About Work
Not even sure what I did while sleeping but woke up with excruciating knee pain. Only in my left knee though. Hoping some Tylenol will help but as of now nothing.
This is going to sound so insensitive, but I really wish my coworkers would stop asking me how I feel. I work with a staff of 30 other teachers and I swear I answer the "how are you doing?" question at least 4x per day. I have now taken to hiding in my classroom so I don't have to answer that. I know they are trying to be caring but I also know that they don't want to know that my whole spine hurts, I don't sleep, my pelvis feels like it's breaking apart, my pelvic floor muscles feel like they are going to split in half every time I pee or stand up, that I constantly feel like hurling, I can't poop, my feet either burn or feel like they have needles in them, and that I really, really don't want to be at work anymore.
My high school juniors know not to ask that question of a pregnant lady, why don't my coworkers?
Baby girl N born 10/29/14!
**Follow your heart, but take your brain with you**
I'm with the pelvic pain ladies. Everytime I would roll over last night which feels like every 30-45 minutes my pelvic bones would painfully pop. It hurts if I stand too long, sit too long, nothing I do helps.
My other complaint is that I am so tired of all this head congestion. I can deal with the normal pregnancy congestion but all this extra from the sinus and ear infections is driving me crazy. I broke down and took sudafed a couple of days last week but after the heart rate increase I decided it wasn't worth it.
I have another... One of my aunts couldn't make it to my baby shower yesterday because she's been having stomach pains for a few weeks. They got pretty severe yesterday so she had to bow out. She went to the doctor this morning to get herself checked out and she has cancer in her liver that spread to her lungs. Fuck cancer.
My H had really bad gas last night which just added to the sleep difficulties I'm already having. I know he can't control what happens in his sleep but damn! :-w
N14 October Siggy Challenge: How I feel in the third trimester (especially when DH eats my pregnancy food)
I'm with @missnacholover ... This new pelvic pain is definitely not cool. I swear it instantly developed over the weekend & I'm guessing it's not going to let up till this little boy is out.
YES! It was so sudden. I went upstairs to start getting things organized for my hospital bag and it was like, WHAM! It seems to come and go for me, but is around more than it's not. NOT COOL.
same thing here ladies! But I thought maybe I pulled a muscle or something trying to pick my fat ass off the chair! Good to know I'm not the only one!
My gallbladder is making me so sick and they cannot remove until baby is born. I had the worst attack I have had yet last night when DH was working an overnight. Almost had to call an ambulance. Worst pain and nausea I have ever been in.
However...so beyond grateful that baby girl is doing beautifully.
My boss sitting in the same office as me, and one of my employees right outside my office both have been coughing NONSTOP. They are on my last nerve.
Then my coworker insists that I am going to get sick this week cause I got my flu shot this morning. She said that I have to make sure I get the righth flu shot cause I am pregnant....I said my OBGYN gave me the shot this morning, I think she knows if there is a special kind of shot and if there is, she wouldn't give me the one that pregnant people can't have.
She said that I am going to get sick cause I am pregnant and my immune system is weakened. I told her that you cannot get the flu from the flu shot. She is convinced otherwise. She said she will never get injected with the flu shot to avoid getting the flu. I told her I never got the flu shot either til I got the flu 2 years ago and ended up in the ER.
This may also be an FFFC, but I hope she gets the flu just so I can tell her how awesome my flu shots are.
Also, its Monday, and I hate everyone.

So I had to defend myself and my flu shot on the phone in front of my coworker that just lectured me and said I am going to get sick..............THE FLU SHOT DOESN'T MAKE YOU SICK PEOPLE. SIGH.....

My husband has a business trip this week, and he'll be gone until Friday. Until then, I'm on my own with the kids, and I am seriously not ready for this right now. I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and I want some downtime; I don't want to do all the meals and bedtime by myself for four days, not to mention getting the kids ready in the morning and taking everyone to school (oldest is in kindergarten and the younger two have preschool 3 and 2 days/week).
Why is sleep so elusive??? Saturday night I slept like crap. I was hot and could not get comfortable for the life of me. My shower was yesterday and it was so gorgeous, but I was exhausted. I thought I would sleep like a rock last night, but no. I could not stop thinking about my shower, how generous and kind people are and the little last minute things we need. I ended up getting out of bed and organizing baby clothes, hats and booties and swaddlers. I think I fell asleep around 1 am.
My husband just told me that his brother told him our induction is a bad idea. ...
1) It's medically the only option I am being given due to my high risk-ocity.
2) I've known this plan since January 2013 when we started trying to conceive and my team of doctors (all 4 of them, different specialties) all agreed it's my only way forward if I want to carry this baby myself.
3) He's not a doctor or anything even medical. He is a father of one low-risk normal pregnancy.
But THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT.
When my husband told him it was our only option from the doctors he told him 2/3 of all inductions end in C-Sections... Ok... I told my husband to reply with: "THANK YOU! C-SECTIONS ARE TERRIBLE. WE SHOULD IGNORE THE DOCTORS AND DELIVER ON OUR OWN AND RISK MY WIFE'S LIFE." But he wouldn't.

I'll start off by saying I'm extremely grateful that baby boy is doing so awesome and that this blood clot hasn't affected him at all and he's growing perfectly. I am very thankful for that when I know others are dealing with losses and I would take all the pain in the world to make sure he stays healthy.
But I am having a hard time coping with how long the recovery time for this blood clot is. Walking down the steps from my apartment to the end of the sidewalk and back is all I can manage. Being told that it will take a minimum of 8 months for this clot to dissolve is so disheartening. I ran an half marathon at 2 months pregnant and now I can barely hobble to the bathroom.
I hate being out of work because I wasn't prepared to go out this early and I'm worried about what's happening in the classroom, that my students are getting what they need, and doing plans from home without my resources is difficult. I'm blessed that my parents are here to help with everything so I'm not doing this by myself, but it is a bit depressing.
@lovebuggies1 I didn't really get any receipts at my shower yesterday either- weird eh? Luckily I didn't get doubles of anything or too many clothes, but there's likely a few things I would have exchanged had I had the chance. It's so weird to me as I ALWAYS get gift receipts when I give a gift.
@Lilwatz my BIL is an ER doctor and spouts nonsense all the time, so I can't imagine how annoying it would be to have someone not in the medical field giving you their non-educated opinion all the time. My BIL can't imagine why someone would choose to not have an epidural. He also says there's no medical reason to keep babies in utero past 34 weeks (when his twins were born). Everything is so one sided to him. I somehow turned that into a bitch about MY BIL. Sorry!
@AnnieRoo13 I cannot believe a doctor is saying the 34 weeks thing!!!!!! (I also don't understand the no epidural thing, I mean, power to you--I don't get it!).
I've HAD IT with people telling me what I need and don't need when it comes to this baby. I had my shower Saturday and, though I got most of the big ticket items, there's a few necessities that I didn't get that I plan on buying for myself...a diaper bag, a swing, a bouncy seat, the audio monitor for his room, and the Snuza. I've had 4 co-workers come to me and tell me I don't need any of it. "Oh, my son hated the swing" or "Oh, that baby will be by your side 24/7 so there's no need for any monitors" or "You won't be leaving the house for awhile with the baby so a diaper bag can wait".
This is MY son and I will do what I want for him. Shove all your opinions up your ass.

Oh, and Happy Monday <:-P
Preach! We put a picture of my husband testing out the new video monitor's night vision on facebook (because he's so cute!). One of my friends critiqued the monitor placement. ... We set it on a table to test the night vision out. Calm. Down.
@lovebuggies1 OMG...the people that said to me "make sure you invite me to the shower!" made up the majority of people that DIDN'T come to it! Two of them backed out the morning of the damn thing.
Especially after reading about losses, I wouldn't trade any of this in for the world, but, since we're bitching...
I'm moving on Sunday and I'm so tired that packing is next to impossible.
Despite being insanely tired, I'm apparently now unable to sleep for more than an hour without waking up. If one more person says something about "just wait til the baby comes..." I might freak.
It's been rather stressful trying to figure out the logistics of this move, plus all the other details around having a kid by myself (BD is not in the picture which is another whole set of drama). If one more person says "It'll all work itself out..." I might freak. IT WILL ALL WORK ITSELF OUT BECAUSE I'M BUSTING MY ASS TO MAKE SURE IT ALL WORKS OUT! SHIT IS NOT JUST MAGICALLY FALLING INTO PLACE!
I want to freak out on someone every time I ride the subway and people sitting either don't look up from their phones long enough to see the poor pregnant chick losing her balance all over the place because she's standing, or do notice, and don't care enough to offer up their seats. Why is chivalry dead??
My Dr needs better bedside manners! She started off by saying she would be sending my for an ultrasound soon, I was like "awesome! Cannot wait to see my little girl again!" Then she said it was to make sure there weren't any complications. EXCUSE ME? I am low risk, what complications. Apparently she assumed because I had a high BMI that I also had GD!!!! wtf? I asked her to check my charts because I was told I didn't, she spent five minutes looking over everything in detail then told me how shocked she was that everything was going so well! Again wtf! Then as like a back up on what she said she proceeded to tell me that I would have trouble conceiving again unless I lost a lot of weight after this, I informed her we didn't have any trouble the first time. I left balling in the parking lot, already feeling like a failure as a mother.
Sorry for the novel, I just needed to get that out.
This is such a small annoyance, but it's really irritating me at the moment; someone (my best guess is my 20 month old because she's trouble and likes to mess with my stuff) removed and lost the "G" key on my keyboard, which is making typing somewhat difficult. I love her, but she's lucky she's so damn cute or I'd take her back to the baby store (this is a joke that DH and I make with each other when the kids misbehave).
@Jatpa003 What. The. Crap?!?! Not cool, OB...not cool at all.
Ya not sure wth that was all about, but I am sure she must have woken up on the "foot in mouth side of the bed this morning" I cannot imagine what you ladies go through with GD but I thought it's a condition that has nothing to do with weight, so why is she being so judgey?
Re: Monday Bitchfest
WTF is up with this new pelvic pain???

I broke down and took sudafed a couple of days last week but after the heart rate increase I decided it wasn't worth it.
Makes my bitch so irrelevant but here goes.....NO SLEEP. NONE. My night went like this-
11pm -pass out on couch
12am-go up to bed and lay there in pain from the "everything hurt". Stare at ceiling-stare at clock.
1:30-have to pee....still can't sleep....go downstairs, try to sleep on couch. sleep FAIL
2:00-try to sleep in recliner-cat jumps on stomach-cat jumps on face -sleep FAIL
2:30 - hungry, eat leftover pasta...pee again
3:30-heartburn ensues
4:00 - TUMS-pee again....try the bed again- sleep WIN....until
4:30 - DH starts tossing and turning like he's wrestling and steal ALL the covers.
5:00 - DH's alarm goes off- want to kill him.....stare at ceiling...stare at clock....again until
6:00 - my alarm goes off. Happy Fricking Monday.
However...so beyond grateful that baby girl is doing beautifully.
