Monday.... Again. (SPAM)

@erobbins09‌ I'm in Madison, WI. So somewhat similar. I woke up to 9 degrees and thought NOOOO! Not yet!

So is today the day of the stupid/offensive/suspicious question by newbs on F15? It's like once the ball got rolling, everyone came out of the woodwork to play.

AshleySparkle720

Good morning ladies. It's pouring rain here I am actually happy because then DH and I can be lazy all day. I am planning out thanksgiving food and we are going to have way too many leftovers! I have a 10lb turkey and a 7lb ham. Plus all the regular sides and It's just going to be him and I now. Ohh dear xD

Baby weight girl has to be an AE someone made a while ago and was holding onto... She made multi annoying posts didn't she? I think we have a bored viper on our hands

My dear, sweet child keeps refusing to put on clothes. It took an hour to get her dressed and successfully buckled in the car today. She was also wearing short sleeves without a coat because she just flat out wouldn't do it.

I'm losing my mind.

God I hope so. When I read the title I was like nope. Not even a little part of me wants to open that.

My son won't get dressed anymore. I have to make it into a game- I don't know how to out your pants on, can you show me?- it sometimes worked. He also is refusing a diaper but won't wear underwear. I make him when we go out though. Not sure if that will backfire on me.

Ugh.. It's monday, and cold, and a little rainy.  I wish I could have stayed in bed, but it is what it is. 

Good news today -- 3rd Trimester for me!  AH!  that's crazy. 

:x

erobbins09

Oh the walk to school was totally fine and uneventful.. You should see the tire-tread-like boots I have... I mean I'm bound to slip at some point (but typically I can keep my balance thank you surfing/snowboarding training!) but I'm not intent on setting any land-speed records. When we move I'll be driving to school again but for now it's kind of my mandatory walk every couple days. Thanks for the concern! Hopefully this clears up before our move next week though!!! Oh shoot.. We haven't packed a damn thing should probably get on that...

We moved B in to his new big boy room on Saturday. He didn't sleep great on Saturday night, but slept through the night last night, so yay! That was a lot of work. We realized that we had kept way too much junk over the years.

My Monday morning started off with Brady crying at daycare drop off, saying "Hug, Mommy." Broke my heart. And then I get to work and the first thing anyone says to me is, "Whoa, when are you due again"? I told him February, and his response was, "It's looking more like December." Thanks dude. Not a great way to start the morning!

@schnitz9 -- I didn't see my sister in the hospital when she had her second daughter. She honestly didn't want me to come....she went home the next day and me and DH saw her then. It was NBD to her or her husband. Disclaimer: she had a really horrible L&D expierence. She just about gave birth by herself in the ER bathroom. They ignored her and her labor moved along very quickly...she ended up giving birth by herself (no husband) almost still in the elevator. All ended well, though

Just playing devil's advocate.

If this is an AE, I have to say it: too much at once diffuses the potential drama and tension (I'm too exasperated and distracted to engage ... and now I want chocolate chip cookies).

I dread the day this becomes a problem for us because DS is so freaking stubborn. Right now DS will get dressed without a problem as long as he can pick the outfit. He only ever wants to wear one of 3 shirts but it works.

This would be NBD if I asked her not to come.  But I didn't.  Plus this is our first.  And he is the first for the whole fam.  Already spoke with doc and for vaginal no complication birth there is a minimum 2 day stay.  She lives right down the st. She could actually walk to the hospital.  There is no reason for her not to come after to see him.  It just frustrates me because she would drive 2 hours plus to raleigh for one of her friends but was asking if should couldn't walk down the st. 

erobbins09

@lizjennings81‌ yeah I agree... And there isn't enough back and forth but still... It seems strange.

Oh, I agree with you. It was more of a tip to our viper to space it out a little.

Yeah....that is pretty crappy of her.

Is she a lot younger than you?? As a younger sister, I look back at some of the life events for my older sister that I blew off or didn't take as seriously as I should have and feel bad about it. Try not to take it too personally and chalk it up to immaturity, perhaps? Maybe you could communicate with your Mom about how much this is bothering you and she could step in and talk some sense into her? 

None-the-less...good luck and sorry you have to deal with this!

Yes I do have to give him options too. I give him 2 shirts to choose from. Today i didn't and full meltdown which resulted in him pulling it off. So then I let him choose between two and he chose the one that I had put on him. Seriously kid.

It's not funny but at the same time it's hilarious. It must be that age range. Is this how the terrible 2's start? DS does the same thing and I'm annoyed to no end by it until I put him down for nap time. During nap time I reflect on how he behaved and I'm like  ) This kid is too much some days.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

I survived Sunday with no drama. Lucas is still alive and kicking. I only have a weird bruise on the bottom part of my belly that I can't see anyway. Asshole stairs, you won yesterday but I got the last laugh!

Cold outside, I want to stay in my warm concoon with DH the whole day. He is patting my belly while I bump. ">

Weekend bumping has been bit weird. A lot of new names come out of the woodwork. Although, I have a confession to make... I too have never written an intro post when I first joined. Hanging my head in shame.

mrsclark731

@pikopiko -- glad you and baby are a-ok. Maybe your asshole stairs can be friends with my asshole deck stairs, and we can laugh at them together with your bruised bump and my black and blue ankle

I jumped in head first and never intro'd. There's no shame in my game though. Everyone here has gotten to know me.

Morning everyone. Too many to comment on but I saw some snow photos (feel your pain) Monday morning blues and gd tests. Hope everyone passes and has a great day. I forgot to tell everyone the good news! My crazy coworker left for China for a few weeks and when I was alone my boss came in to talk to me, I totally didn't hold anything back.. Explained how he's shady and sexist and I don't trust him. Funny because earlier that day he had talked to my coworkers alone (without anyone knowing) and they said almost the same thing word for word! My boss told me they are having a meeting with crazy coworker when he gets back and crazy coworker has some decisions he needs to make! So.... As much as I'd hate to see a 60 year old man with 10 kids and adopting another one lose his job.... Maybe this will be the wake up call he needs.

Sammys1120

Good morning ladies!

I am exhausted and cold this morning and I think I'll just stay on the couch all day. I have so much to get done but I am just not feeling it... Plus there is about an inch of snow on the ground and it just started pouring... Seems unsafe out there!

Sitting in the doctors office waiting for my GD blood draw. Man, I totally built that drink up in my head. I actually kinda liked the taste, but I've also drank a lot of gross shit in my day- jägerbombs and jungle juice anyone? Ugh!

I passed my test! Had it this morning at 8am.

Glad you passed!

I don't think I ever intro'ed either. But I started joining in right when everyone pretty much first knew they were pregnant.

You have a point she is 7 years younger.  She'll be 27 on wed and I always keep wondering when she will grow up.  I guess she'll always be my baby sister.  My mom has had a convo with her about this.  We've had the constant battle of her changing her priorities and putting her family first.  I think she is starting to see the light.  I do feel bad sometimes.  My sis and I live about 20 mins from each other and our parents are about 4 hours away.  DH and I are going to my parents for thanksgiving and unfortunately she has to work on wed and fri so she is unable to come.  Her boyfriend and her are going to be alone for the holiday.  You would think all the friends that she runs to all the time would invite her for thanksgiving.  Not a single one has asked her.  I had to remind her that yes friends are great and they are there for you.  But family is there for life no matter what.

Could you have Thanksgiving at your house instead?

We originally planned to do that.  Since my family owns a restaurant my dad has to be there wed night and all day fri. We did thanksgiving at our place last year with just the ILs and my sis went to her Boyfriends family in FL.  This year they are going to FL for Christmas.  My ILs are having their own issues so we decided not to spend the holiday with them and spend it with my fam this year since we didn't see them last year.  Asked my sis if she was OK with it first of course and she had no prob with it.  Plus my grandmother lives 10 mins from my parents and she is going to be 91. It's really hard for her to travel and she is really close with my DH.  She really wanted to spend the holiday with him. I'm just a little peeved at my sis's friends that non of them have invited her when she has invited them to our family for holidays in the past.  We are going to see them all this weekend at the wedding and I'm so temped to say something, but I know its not my place to say anything.

Happy Monday everyone!

I got my 1 hour GD test done over the weekend. I can see the results online and they seem good, as everything seems to be within the normal range. A few things are on the low side. But I am not a doctor and don't know what everything means. So I will have to wait till next Monday to see my doctor. For now I am left with a huge bruise from the blood draw.

I pulled out DS newborn clothes yesterday and realized we have nothing for this baby as a newborn. Everything is just onesies, as DS was born in the summer and it was super hot. I can't even remember if we put socks on him. If we did, I sure don't have them now. So now I need to go get some warmer stuff for this baby. We are so behind in getting ready this time around for baby.

Good morning! I've been up all night with a migraine. I would love more then anything to fall asleep. I'm snuggled in my bed with my fur babies! Hubby left for work then came home. His appointment canceled.. It's to cold! So now he's playing a video game while I bump. I haven't done a damn thing to the house all weekend so I really need to get up and clean. My hearts just not in it. Besides I've had a stomachache since yesterday. Light cramps and extreme nausea! What's that about?

Have you contacted your OB about the cramping and sickness @SSmith2409? Going on day 2 seems to be a long time to feel that way. You may want to call just to see if s/he can recommend  OTC meds at least.

I also have to play a game with him about his shoes lately. He onlys wants to wear one certain pair. I have to hide them and let him choose from the others.

And treats (aka fruit snacks) help as a bribe. Yes I bribe my child. I have to get to work somehow.

Good Morning! I haven't been on all weekend so I need to catch up on everything. We traveled 4 hours to DC...went to a Wizards basketball game Saturday Night and the Redskins game yesterday. I am exhausted. We were with a group of 9 and they all drink...it was very annoying to be around a bunch of drunks all weekend. never again. 8-|

SSmith2409

I'm going to call as soon as DH leaves! My headaches also make my blood pressure go up. Yesterday afternoon I took a nap when I woke up my bp was 160/93 I was able to lower it so I've been waiting until today to call. I've been given meds for my migraines and nausea. That being said they don't work for shit! We will see what he has to say.

psychobutthead

Does anyone else feel a sense of accomplish when they tackle a huge load of laundry?

I've done almost all the dirty clothes in our house since yesterday that I ran out of clothing soap. So now I'm washing all of the babys clothes and blankets and things since the only soap I have left is dreft. I feel like being off from work is helping me get my house in order finally.

PeaceofKia

I can't make it...the pains are becoming unbearable. Next week may just be my last week at work until the girls arrive...

ETA: I need my OB to be on board with this...the only way I can leave before my due date is if it's a medical reason (since I'm non FMLA eligible this school year).

DD runs away from clothes as well. However this morning she was doing everything she could to get her shirt on. Why you ask? Because Dora was on it! Lol. I really don't like shirts with characters on them but this was a hand me down and I know she likes Dora.

AshleySparkle720

@peaceofkia I'm sorry it's gotten to that point! 

@chickenonsunday Congrats on passing your test! I love shopping for people so if you need suggestions I can personal shop my butt off.

I just got a phone call from a news channel in the Twin Cities area asking to interview me about my business. They are looking to do a piece on young entrepreneurs in different industries. Apparently there aren't too many wedding planners in their 20's who are fairly successful.. haha I am still walking on clouds. I don't even care if they run it. I'm just thrilled they found me and asked.

I bribe my child every 5 minutes it seems like these days. I just don't have the energy.

Yeah, This morning I tried 5 options. I bribed her with breakfast and managed to get the fresh diaper on without a problem. I got one leg in the pants before she started to freak. I forced her into them and then she screamed for 10 minutes trying to get them off. "NO PANTS! NO PANTS!" The shirt was not happening. DH carried her outside to show her how cold it was...didn't help. Eventually she went in her room and picked out a random shirt and decided she wanted to put it on. We then spent the next 15 minutes trying to buckle her in her seat (mind you, without a jacket on..so it was damn cold). She came back inside, went to the pantry...pointed to an applesauce and decided she was content now and could go to school.

Kids. Hmph.
