Dog is still sick, I'm refusing to get out of my sweatpants today, I have to write an entire paper for grad school today, and I had two cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Gonna be an interesting day.

I had my 1 hr GTT and got my flu shot yesterday.  Oh and my Dr's office has a new ultrasound machine that can let you see the baby in 3D, so we got to see some of her face yesterday.

I just got weighed in at the doctor. It's not good news. Waiting for the midwife to come in and chat with me about it. Also, on my way to the appointment, I was listening to morning radio and this girl called in saying working moms get "free vacation" when their kids are sick and that non-moms should get extra sick days too so that it's fair. It made me stabby.

Obviously she's never dealt with a sick kid before! How ignorant

I have a random question, instead of a random comment. ( Because of the recognizable avatars/screen names posts and comments.)

Is my avatar too generic for any of you to recognize me?

Is my screen name unique enough?

  Also, I have been thinking of changing my avatar. I was planning on doing an updated u/s pic but think I should do something else. Would you all rather see a photo of me, of my DS or of a character/image that I like?

 ETA: Wording

Umm, I don't get extra sick days to stay home with my step daughters.  I have to use the sick days I have, and if I am out, I have to take an unpaid day.  There is no extra time given to me because I have a sick kid. That lady can eat a dick

she probably eats dick all the time hence no kids

I'm currently waiting to take my glucose test. Yay... I tought the testing place didn't open until 7:30 but it opens at 6:30. I got here at 7 so it's not too bad.

I am slightly concerned with my glucose test being in the late afternoon next week. I need to remember to watch my sugar in take throughout the day. My last one was early in the morning, so I didn't have to think about what I ate during the day.  

Mine is this afternoon at 3! I ate a pile of undressed kale and a boiled egg for breakfast, it's going to be a lonnnnnng day.

My husband's family is going through some major drama right now - like the kind that would make for good reality television watching but is awful and unbearable to hear about when you actually know the people involved. 

It stems from things that happened before I knew my husband so I have no real idea of what went on, and I am not about to get involved in any way. I like and get along with them all and I feel like I'll be there when this is sorted out but it has nothing to do with H and I. 

Very selfishly, my only big worry is that this will somehow affect how our baby is welcomed into this little world. I don't want to deal with conflicting family at this point in my pregnancy, and I'm just not up for scheduling  who will visit when so that it doesn't interfere with someone else. 

I'd like my baby to be surrounded with good, happy, loving vibes! I know things aren't always ideal, but its a bit much.

Oh man the vaguebumping is intense. I'm so curious to know specifics! But I'm sorry that you are caught between a rock and a hard place with family drama. Hopefully everyone can come together when your baby is born.

I don't mean to be vague bumping - but I don't even know all the details or specifics. All I know is that something happened and no one really talks to each other but last night the matriarch sent an email to the perceived offender laying it all out and asking that an apology be made so everyone can move on. 

By the time I met H the fracture had already happened.

My daughter (2.5) has a mustache. I feel so bad for her because I know it's my fault (I have very dark hair & have struggled with body hair my whole life) Obviously I'm not going to do anything about it, but I'm already terrified of kids teasing her in school. It breaks my heart.

My cold has traveled down to my lungs so now whenever I laugh or try to speak in long sentences it ends in me coughing. It's not a slight cough either, it's a hacking cough that sounds like something is trying to escape from my chest. Also, a pic to show how I feel: 

My nose seems to be clearing up though so that's a plus. 

@Babystandish, I love titted this for the Zoolander reference, not for the fact that you're sick. Get well soon!

ETA - working moms/balance of life and hitting a low.

ETA2 - i'm sorry - I'm NOT disparaging any SAHM in ANY way. I was actually more of a SAHM in recent months than a working mom. I'm just discovering that for me, I and my family are better off if I stay at home.

Something that bugs me about this article in particular and about a lot of the women I know in general: Does this woman not have a partner? Why didn't that person make the snacks, etc.? Being a working parent is hard, but it's a hell of a lot harder if you're also doing the bulk of the work at home. If you have a partner, there's no reason it should be that way.

I am one of those working moms who makes her own job harder. I don't do it on purpose but I am very particular about how I want my house to look and be cleaned. So, I do all the cleaning and laundry and such. If I delegated some tasks to my husband, I might actually get to sit down once in a while after work but I always end up going behind him anyway. It's definitely no ones fault but my own but is also why I wish I could be a SAHM because I wouldn't have to cram all my duties into the few hours I have after work before I do it all again the next day

This makes me sad. Kids can be so cruel.

Just drank my first cup of CAFFINATED coffee since April & it is the most delicious cup of coffee I've ever had.  Yes, I am that stereotypical paranoid first time pregnant woman.

Also, barely slept last night because of horrible leg cramps (Charley horse?) and I scared my husband who thought I was going into early labor.  And, I'm running out of work clothes so I'm wearing the same dress I wore to work on Monday. X_X

I do this too. I do let DH help clean but other than that I do mostly everything else myself. He tries to help but I feel like it's easier to do it myself. I'm going to drive myself crazy one day.

@yamrwhite I am right there with you! To a degree yes we could delegate. But also to be honest (and this is obviously just my opinion from watching other moms and myself) I find that most moms are the emotional support (not sure if that's a good/right word) for the children and family in general. For example: my husband could get up at night when my daughter cries, but she wants me, so while yes he is willing to help out...the end result is that she wants to be cuddled by her mama. Snacks and making lunches etc. don't yet pertain to my life but I know my mom always did that stuff, I find that women just have this nurturing side which thinks to do all the extras and necessary's and its not always a man's fault that he isn't helping out as much. Its just how I (and other moms I know) am/are. I feel guilty if I don't get up with my daughter on a Saturday morning to hang out with her, even if my husband were willing to get up with her and hang out..I couldn't just stay in bed knowing I could be spending time with her...just some examples I guess.

I can't stop reading the Birth Stories on Oct14. There were a few posted yesterday/today and the mom's reference their emotions with having 2 children... I have teared up too many times to count. I think I will sob when DS comes to visit. Mom guilt is already so strong.

**leaving to grab kleenex**

I'm super emotional today so I'm going to have to stay away from the birth stories until after work. Maybe that will be my Friday night entertainment.

I have 3 girl cousins that are very hairy my mom's Sicilian side. The oldest didn't start getting made fun of until she was 12 and by then she was old enough that you don't feel weird doing something about it. Kids don't seem to notice those things when they're younger (hopefully).

My poor girl had to get shots today at her 5 year checkup.  She screamed her head off and I had to hold her down.  However the doctor's office let her pick out a beanie baby afterward so I think that made up for it.  Also, my arm is sore from getting my flu shot.

But I know he makes dinner! That's something you don't have to worry about.

Yes! He's a great cook. I have no desire to cook so thankfully he enjoys it! That's also probably another reason I don't ask him to do any of the cleaning because then he might ask me to cook haha

My sister had her AS this week, but had the tech write down the baby's sex and put it in an envelope... Reveal Party in a few weeks 8-|

1. I hate those parties
2. I couldn't attend even if I wanted too (on the other side of the country)
3. I really want to start shopping for my new little niece or nephew!

That gives me some hope! I mean you can't see it unless you're up close to her, but it's definitely there. I just want to protect my beautiful baby girl forever! If she can make it to middle school without being made fun of then I will consider it a success and then find a solution to it. I started shaving my legs when I got my period (11) so I guess this is no different.

I had my 29 week appointment this morning and everything was good. Relief.

Also got my Tdap shot. Hurt like a bitch. 

Now my back is killing me and I need the weekend NOW. Is it true that we turn the clocks back this weekend? If so, that is a beautiful gift.

Ugh just googled it. It's next weekend that we turn the clocks back. Bummer.

Found out yesterday that I no longer have a low lying placenta.  That means I am off pelvic rest.  I am glad but DH was happier.
