Going to our family's mountain cabin this weekend because the 90 degree temperatures we are having right now are total BS. Also my random is I'm 19 weeks today and the size of a mango...so I celebrate with pictures of Mango!!
I work this weekend... Just hoping the unit stays full so we don't have any admissions. Work has been awkward lately. I seriously hate tensions between staff where you are in the middle of it all no matter how much you try to stay out of it all. I seriously want to smack all of them and tell them to grow up. H is heading out of town Sunday, and he he trying his best to get in my panties. his so called "suave" moves come off as desperate and annoying to say the least, and it's a big turn off. Anyway, been up since 1a.m. And I really hate the idea of doing laundry, but there is so much to do?!
@katydid2014 are you a photographer? Hope you have fun this weekend! Busy but hope it's fun.
Yesterday I ate like a pregnant lady for sure. Huge breakfast of eggs, hashbrowns, bacon and pumpkin pancakes, then lunch was pizza and cake, snacked on candy all day, then had Olive Garden takeout for dinner!! Complete with salad and breadsticks. So good. Apparently I'm continuing that today with my large breakfast. It's Friday so happy for that. We have no real plans other than watch college football and we have a vet appt Sunday. Gonna try to get more stuff taken out of the nursery too. It's almost ready to start collecting baby items.
@Chunkymonkeylvr T&P for your friends son @mel7806 good luck at the a/s! @khansil5 how exciting for your u/s today! Hope all goes well! @katydid2014 Hope you get a few minutes to relax and kick your feet up this weekend
Good Friday morning ladies! I'm also 19 weeks 2da so mango for me too! Anyone notice we have a grapefruit coming in a few weeks? Wtf I've never seen a 10 inch grapefruit in my life.
I'm glad some of you talked about the baby moving less yesterday. I was feeling it move a good bit but it seems like the last few days have been very sporadic and infrequent. I have my doppler to make me feel better but it was still unnerving. I'm glad you all mentioned it.
Last night my H turned 30! He started a diet last week to lose weight before baby comes so he didn't want to go to dinner anywhere. I cooked him some stir fry and he wanted to watch the Lego Movie since he loved Legos as a child. He's 30 going on 9.
Me(29), DH (29) Married December 2011 TTC#1 Since November 2013 Dec. 2013... BFP! 12/31/13... Natural M/C 1/29/14 (8 weeks) July 2014...BFP!... 17dpo beta 581...19dpo beta 1419!!.. stick baby, stick! EDD: 3/20/15.. It's a boy!
@JM0848 I tried pm'ing you, but there was no attach picture option so I'll just leave this here. I remember your post about space saving and immediately thought of you when someone shared this on Facebook. It may be a good solution!
I RSVP'd to a church event today (I know a girl that goes there, it's not my church so I don't know many people there) it starts in an hour and I don't wanna be the flakey girl, but I'm really nervous since LO doesn't do very well in child care and it will be his first time at this facility. Not to mention the dang dog woke me up at 5:45 and I thought that was an ideal time for a Project Runway marathon...
@nannabee21 at least Lego movie is semi-funny to adults? Haha after we watched it with LO I gifted my H "Everything is Awesome" on iTunes because he wouldn't quit singing it!
Oh yeah totes forgot to put 19 wks 2da!!!!!!! Thanks @nannabee21 for reminding me
This also reminds me-the practice I go to barely tells me anything I feel like. Had my scan on Monday followed by my appt. I feel like u/s tech told me more than the midwife did. Tech told me baby was about a week ahead. The midwife (who I saw at last visit and really don't like but had no choice this time) barely told me anything. Didn't tell me baby was a week ahead, and she had the report in front of her and was reading thru it but just said "all is well." I had to ask her for specifics. And yes I get that "all is well" means everything is fine but I guess I would like to hear more specifics. She didn't even lay hands on me at all and just left the room. On her way out I asked her when they start measuring the belly and she said "oh like 20 weeks." Pretty sure when I did clinicals in women's health we started at least trying to feel pretty well at the beginning. I left after visits with her both times feeling dumbfounded that she came in and out so fast that I had zero time to think about anything and always have questions after the fact. Needless to say I won't be seeing her again and I hope she isn't on call when this baby comes!! I'm feeling overwhelmed in this huge practice. None of it is personal at all. Not like I need glitter up my ass and my hand held but normal human interaction would be nice. She never even introduced herself to me. This time my husband was with me and she didn't introduce herself to him either. Of course he thought everything was fine. I wonder if it's just rubbing me this way because she is so different than how I interact with patients. Sorry for the rant!!! I miss my cute little private practice OB that I went to in my home town for 10 years for my GYN care. 2 docs in the practice and they were brothers. They were so awesome.
@chunkymonkeylvr only part one! I have to go to hulu for the rest. Directv on demand only had the first part!! Now I may definitely skip this morning just to finish it
@khansil5 ahh I just bought Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls at the grocery store last night! I am really thinking about making them right now but SO is sleeping and would be pissed if he didn't get to eat a hot one lol they look wonderful!
Anyway we found a new place to live...yay! now I get to do my absolute least favorite thing...which is move. I am rather excited about the fact that I am going to be semi uselss for this move *evil laugh*!! I get to stand around and pack boxes and give orders bahaha I can do that! The best news? I GET MY NURSERY!!! wahhhh right now we live in a small 1 bedroom apt and we were just gonna stay for a little while until the baby got bigger. Well now were moving into a 3 bedroom place!! I actually get to design a nursery. That makes me all warm and tingly inside :-D 5 DAYS TILL A/S!! Finally get to find out what our nugget is!! FINALLY!
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!!!!
March 15' January Siggy Callenge: Animals Being Jerks
We're going to Ikea tonight. I hate that it's a 2 hour drive one way and DS hates the car (always has since birth) but I'm looking forward to it. I love Ikea and I'm so looking forward to Swedish meatballs and their cinnamon rolls. Yum.
Have fun! DH and I are IKEA obsessed - we're going to IKEA to get a crib and dresser in a couple of weeks - it's also a two hour drive for us. Does DS get to Smaland? One of the first things DH said when we got pregnant was that we'd finally have a LO to bring to Smaland, ha ha.
I am waiting for my round 2 anatomy scan. I was late because I am so tired. My H couldn't come with me - I'm happy that he is working (we went through several years of him finding himself in his late 30s/40s!), but I still wish he was here.
Why am I always so scared every time I go to the dr?
@megaugust10 bahaha I so would cuz I really want them but we buy cinnamon rolls for our midnight snack. We both work till really late so we don't get off till about 11 so about 3 nights a week we make the cinnamon rolls around midnight to eat!! hehe PSA we just got the Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls with orange cream and they were absolutely horrible. We each took 1 bite and literally threw away the ENTIRE pan full and went out at 1am just to get different ones! It ia a sad day when you have to throw away a whole pan of cinnamon rolls lol
also my family has made me absolutely BSC regarding the sex. My mom pegged it a boy the minute she saw my 9 and 12 week u/s. What? you can barely tell that the thing is human let alone what it is. ugh I am so happy to get it over with so we know and can also stop calling it a "it" lol

@healthyfor2 Is this whole practice that way or just the midwife? That wouldn't sit well with me either. I'm not sure how big the practice is, but I go to a larger OBGYN practice that has multiple locations. I always see my doctor and she never rushes. She starts taking belly measurements around 13 weeks, listens with the doppler at every appointment, and takes time to ask if I have any questions. My doctor also made sure to introduce herself when DH was with me at one of the appointments when I was pregnant with DS.
Well I think it's just that midwife. I saw a male midwife way back in February when I was establishing care before pregnancy and he was so awesome. Very personable and gave me plenty of opportunity for questions, etc. I saw him for my 8 week appointment and he was again extremely awesome. My next 2 appts were with this lady and I can schedule with whoever I want so I won't be scheduling with her again. I didn't like her after the first appt but I had no choice the second time because I needed to get my scan and appt in one day back to back to get it done the same day. I asked for a different provider and they said I would have had to come back the same day hours later or come back another day. Ain't nobody got time for that! Moving forward I will try my best to stay away from her. What I don't like is that I don't really have a doctor or midwife that I'm "under" if that makes sense. And I guess she didn't Dopple since I just had the scan so I understand that. I just thought she would feel the belly to see where it was at least. As catty as it may be, the introducing thing really bothers me!! Thanks for the response
AFM- I'm a little sad because i just gave DD the last of my frozen breast milk. I know it probably seems silly but I'm just like that's it, it's all gone and she'll never have any more
I am looking forward to a weekend doing NOTHING. It's just been too hectic lately. And also catching up on the board.
My hospital plays a lullaby on the PA system when a baby is born. I just heard it and lost it. Tears and all right here in the waiting room. I am almost about to ugly cry.
@megaugust10 We have a chain here in Louisiana (not sure where else they are) called Santa Fe Cattle Company and they have the peanuts and cinnamon butter too! That's where I was thinking you were talking about. Now I want to go there for lunch...
Me(29), DH (29) Married December 2011 TTC#1 Since November 2013 Dec. 2013... BFP! 12/31/13... Natural M/C 1/29/14 (8 weeks) July 2014...BFP!... 17dpo beta 581...19dpo beta 1419!!.. stick baby, stick! EDD: 3/20/15.. It's a boy!
Good luck to everyone with a/s or appointments today! @healthyfor2 I'm sorry to hear about that that midwife, she sounds awful. I hope you can switch.
It's 6:45 here and my alarm is going off in 5 minutes. I slept from 10pm to 1:47 this morning. At least I had time to do some online shopping and catch up on bumping! Seriously going to be an extremely long day. Tomorrow is normally my day off but we are going to sign the lease at our new place and deal with finding movers since I'm useless. SO has to deal with them while I'm at work, I'm too OCD to be around and not jump in and help with things like that. But yay getting out of our tiny apartment into something bigger! We finally found something we can afford, damn you high cost of living areas! And it's only 10 minutes from my work, right now I'm 25-30 without traffic, in the summer it's an hour. I can come home on lunch breaks and BF when I go back to work.
I really want an ikea cinnamon roll now! Those are so good! Happy Friday everyone!
I bought plane tickets to go see my family for Christmas!!! Woooohooo! We haven't been able to afford seeing my family for Xmas in over 4 years, and if I had to put up with DHs family xmas drama for even one more year, I was going to lose it.
I don't even care that I'll be freight train sized by then and the plane will suck. Yay to a stable, loving, drama free Christmas!
I've finished week one of my diabetes diet and I've lost 2 pounds. My pants are a little looser and my baby is swimming around in my ute whispering "Thinner..."
Seriously though it's impossible to eat enough calories in fat and protein to make up for the loss of carbs in my diet. I wonder how much weight my doctor will let me lose before she puts me on a nasty prescription protein shake of some sorts.
I'm going to Asheville this weekend! I've never been but I'm soo excited. H works full time and is in grad school full time so I'm looking forward to spending time with him.
@EmpireRecords24 - I have two brothers. I'm not *super* tight with them but I make time to see them when I visit their cities (i.e. Chicago and Richmond). Growing up with them was hell, though! I was the youngest and they tormented me endlessly. But everyone grows up and we hang out now.
Keep in mind, too, that just because you have kids of the same sex doesn't mean they're going to be besties. My mom and aunt thought my cousin and I would be super tight because we're the only two girl cousins out of 15 boys. We're night and day. My cousin - love her as I do - is a frilly little sorority party girl who's in power-career mode traveling the world and drinking expensive champagne. I'm the fat nature-loving lesbian living in a small town getting ready to pop out a kid. We chat at family events but we don't seek each other's company out the way I'm sure my mom and aunt wish we would.
I am officially done with H's shit. He brought two giant boxes of old books home in September and they have been in one spot since then. I have asked him repeatedly to find a spot for them. I finally said, that if he doesn't find a place for them, I am donating all of them. Or use them in the fire place.
His response. "Why don't you buy me another book case?"
Yeah, I will buy a book case and make sure it costs $500+. Or maybe I will hire a carpenter to come in and build some built in bookshelves.
Idk, but I am fucking sick of his shit. These are books his mom had him take that had been left in her basement for 10+years and they are all books he read in junior high and high school, but they all have sentimental value, which I get, but why the fuck is it my job to find a place for them.
Hmm.. Just thought of a place I could put them for now, and that's his parking spot in the garage.
Last night I went out to dinner with his family to celebrate his birthday. It was the first time I ate like a pregnant lady. I normally don't eat much especially when I am hungry. I started with peanuts to put something in my stomach, then had rolls with delicious cinnamon butter, salad, and I ate 3/4 of my chicken fried chicken (like chicken fried steak but with chicken), and mashed potatoes with cream gravy all over the chicken and potatoes. My hb was impressed.
Tomorrow I am making his star wars cookies and we have to go buy him more clothes. Sunday a friend is coming up and possibly our neighbors coming over for Mexican style lettuce wraps.
Eta: after all I ate last night I woke up starving this morning.
You went to Texas Roadhouse, huh?
ETA derp this was already covered! I was just proud of myself for identifying the location by the meal
@mwerren Can you say to a rainbow, "Hey, stop being a rainbow!" No, such is Mango.
@megaugust10 I wake up at like 2 in the morning hungry. I'm starting to think I need to eat something right before I go to bed.
Umm @mrsh288 I thought the Lego Movie was HILARIOUS and the ending was not at all what I was expecting it to be (at least part of it). My SIL & BIL are dressing up as Emmett and WyldStyle for Halloween and the entrance music to their wedding reception was "Everything is Awesome".
Thinking happy thoughts about your friend's son @chunkymonkeylvr!
@jcar2@peeppeeppeep We're making an Ikea trip (about an hour) on the 9th when my parents are visiting (with their nice big SUV). Plan on getting a crib, changing table, and a bright yellow toy chest. I am VERY excited about the bright yellow toy chest.
@drudolph11 I HATE the orange cream cinnamon rolls, they are disgusting!
@wishiwaspreggo Sometimes DH does a high-fat, mid-protein, low-carb diet and he loses a ton of weight. I certainly hope you don't have to supplement with those awful shakes! Also YES, my sister and I could not STAND each other growing up but now we're super tight. We're also really close with our brother but it's harder because he lives on the opposite coast. Some siblings just don't get along ever, it happens.
I like the idea of putting them in his spot in the garage @almeyer2013. If he can't park his car maybe he'll find a more permanent home for those darn boxes.
Hope all those babies are cooperative for ultrasounds today!
This weekend we're cleaning/organizing the office (which involves bringing some stuff up from the basement). Then we're going to go out and buy paint and prep the nursery for painting on Tuesday. Mostly we just want to relax.
"Serious is only something you have to be until you can be silly again."
Oh yeah totes forgot to put 19 wks 2da!!!!!!! Thanks @nannabee21 for reminding me

I feel this way too! I feel like as the professional, you should come in and OFFER information. I don't always think of my questions on the spot either and am left dumbfounded when she says all is well, do I have questions? I'm like yea, explain all is good...and she still doesn't give me enough detail or info. It shouldn't be my job to hunt down the facts through a game of questions and answers when she has everything in front of her face. I like to feel like my practice CARES to tell me about my pregnancy and baby. I can't wait to fucking switch.
AFM- I'm a little sad because i just gave DD the last of my frozen breast milk. I know it probably seems silly but I'm just like that's it, it's all gone and she'll never have any more
I am looking forward to a weekend doing NOTHING. It's just been too hectic lately. And also catching up on the board.
It was a very emotional time for me when E had the last bottle of my milk. Hugs, lady.
I'm going to the birth without fear conference in Austin this weekend. It should be fun, plus I get an ergo baby carrier with admission! :P
Also I'm half baked today!!! Whoop!
My doctor is doing the Q & A session on Saturday! His name is Frank Hinds and he is amazing!!! Enjoy your time. That sounds like an awesome conference. I am on baby duty this weekend so I can't go
So, I had such terrible joint pain while trying to fall asleep last night, I tossed and turned for hours. Literally hours. It is the worst sleep I've had this pregnancy and I'm sad because it didn't get rough like this until late third tri last time. This pregnancy is so much harder on my body.
And, K took E out so I could sleep in and the neighbor across the street is having a tree chopped down...so much for sleeping in.
The hospital just called, and my AS is scheduled for Sunday, which is my birthday! Also, I got put "on call" at work, so I now have the house to myself all day. I'm feeling a nap in my near future. Good luck to everyone with appts/scans today and this weekend!
Our halloween party is tonight. I slept like shit because I got my flu shot and my left arm is killing me and that's the side I usually sleep on. I've got like 30 errands to run and no energy. Wish me luck. I might go have a sugar cookie for breakfast.
@JM0848 I tried pm'ing you, but there was no attach picture option so I'll just leave this here. I remember your post about space saving and immediately thought of you when someone shared this on Facebook. It may be a good solution!
Great idea! I may have to use this myself as we have very limited closet space.
@megaugust10 We have a chain here in Louisiana (not sure where else they are) called Santa Fe Cattle Company and they have the peanuts and cinnamon butter too! That's where I was thinking you were talking about. Now I want to go there for lunch...
We have a place here (in TX) called Texas Land & Cattle that is supposed to be really good. Mmmm steak..
Re: It's Friday, Friday. Gotta get down on Friday (random)
Also my random is I'm 19 weeks today and the size of a mango...so I celebrate with pictures of Mango!!
Good luck to everyone with appointments today!
Work has been awkward lately. I seriously hate tensions between staff where you are in the middle of it all no matter how much you try to stay out of it all. I seriously want to smack all of them and tell them to grow up.
H is heading out of town Sunday, and he he trying his best to get in my panties. his so called "suave" moves come off as desperate and annoying to say the least, and it's a big turn off.
Anyway, been up since 1a.m. And I really hate the idea of doing laundry, but there is so much to do?!
Yesterday I ate like a pregnant lady for sure.

My mom and aunt thought my cousin and I would be super tight because we're the only two girl cousins out of 15 boys. We're night and day. My cousin - love her as I do - is a frilly little sorority party girl who's in power-career mode traveling the world and drinking expensive champagne. I'm the fat nature-loving lesbian living in a small town getting ready to pop out a kid. We chat at family events but we don't seek each other's company out the way I'm sure my mom and aunt wish we would.
He brought two giant boxes of old books home in September and they have been in one spot since then.
I have asked him repeatedly to find a spot for them. I finally said, that if he doesn't find a place for them, I am donating all of them. Or use them in the fire place.
His response. "Why don't you buy me another book case?"
Yeah, I will buy a book case and make sure it costs $500+. Or maybe I will hire a carpenter to come in and build some built in bookshelves.
Idk, but I am fucking sick of his shit. These are books his mom had him take that had been left in her basement for 10+years and they are all books he read in junior high and high school, but they all have sentimental value, which I get, but why the fuck is it my job to find a place for them.
Hmm.. Just thought of a place I could put them for now, and that's his parking spot in the garage.
ETA derp this was already covered! I was just proud of myself for identifying the location by the meal
@mwerren Can you say to a rainbow, "Hey, stop being a rainbow!" No, such is Mango.
@megaugust10 I wake up at like 2 in the morning hungry. I'm starting to think I need to eat something right before I go to bed.
Umm @mrsh288 I thought the Lego Movie was HILARIOUS and the ending was not at all what I was expecting it to be (at least part of it). My SIL & BIL are dressing up as Emmett and WyldStyle for Halloween and the entrance music to their wedding reception was "Everything is Awesome".
Thinking happy thoughts about your friend's son @chunkymonkeylvr!
@jcar2 @peeppeeppeep We're making an Ikea trip (about an hour) on the 9th when my parents are visiting (with their nice big SUV). Plan on getting a crib, changing table, and a bright yellow toy chest. I am VERY excited about the bright yellow toy chest.
@drudolph11 I HATE the orange cream cinnamon rolls, they are disgusting!
@wishiwaspreggo Sometimes DH does a high-fat, mid-protein, low-carb diet and he loses a ton of weight. I certainly hope you don't have to supplement with those awful shakes! Also YES, my sister and I could not STAND each other growing up but now we're super tight. We're also really close with our brother but it's harder because he lives on the opposite coast. Some siblings just don't get along ever, it happens.
I like the idea of putting them in his spot in the garage @almeyer2013. If he can't park his car maybe he'll find a more permanent home for those darn boxes.
Hope all those babies are cooperative for ultrasounds today!
This weekend we're cleaning/organizing the office (which involves bringing some stuff up from the basement). Then we're going to go out and buy paint and prep the nursery for painting on Tuesday. Mostly we just want to relax.
