Ok I just need to vent for a moment so feel free to ignore me. I had some friends over for dinner last night, and not one person offered to help cook or bring anything. They left without offering to help clean up, but they were more than happy to take leftovers with them. I made a huge meal with salad, baked chicken, 4 sides, and dessert and they didn't even offer to set the table. I can't think of any circumstance that I would ever do that. They brought Margarita mix and tequila knowing that I can't drink. They do have babies but they are a couple of months old and they were asleep most of the time. I would have at least appreciated them sitting in the kitchen while I cooked, but instead they sat in he living room where I can't join the conversation, and they guys sat outside. When they got pregnant and had mild morning sickness, I brought them soup, popsicles, and movies. I also made them lasagne and dessert when their LO's arrived. Now I'm in my third trimester, still very nauseated, having terrible back pain, and they don't seem to care. I know I should ask for help if I need it, it's just that I feel like I'm taken for granted sometimes. Also when we were going to play cards against humanity, one of then made the comment "well we will have to play on the floor since nobody cleaned up the table". Then two of my friends who are newly married kept arguing and it was really awkward because he was so mean to her. She also said that the tetanus shot should be banned because some lady had a reaction where she couldn't talk anymore. The room went silent when I brought up how many have died from tetanus. Like I'm the crazy one. Ok rant over!

They are normally very good friends that I can tell anything to without being judged, and I have called in the middle of the night crying and I know they are always there. I'm just nit picking right now. We did manage to have a good time last night in spite of everything, and I got my baby snuggle fix.

Unbelielvable! I'm sorry you got stuck with all the work, but especially the comment of "nobody cleaned off the table" is way rude! It amazes me some of the crap people actually say. Glad you were able to have fun in spite of that weirdness. Soooo glad you got baby snuggles! Makes it all worth it!

So I do have good news. He must have took our talk seriously. He called me on his 15 minute break to tell me he did cancel that random bill we had.

So That just leaves us for now with waiting out our phone bill and me down grading our plan and setting up auto pay for a discount. And canceling Haileys karate next month since shes now bored of it and doesn't want to do it now after a year. All of that right there will be saving around $450 just with those cancelations and down grading.

That's great!

Damn it, I was falling asleep and then the people downstairs came home and started making a ruckus. It definitely wasn't like this before our first-floor neighbor passed away. Second-floor neighbors have gotten very, very noisy lately.

Evil that all I can think is, "Get 'em, Willa"?

No GD here! Bring on the Christmas candy and cookies!

Just washed a bunch of baby clothes, towels, washcloths, socks, and blankets. Man it takes a long time to put all those little things away!

Random question. My friend was told at the hospital that those little baby mitts to stop them from scratching themselves are a smothering/choking hazard. Every time they came in the room they took them off her daughter. I hadn't heard this before! Anyone else?

So I got even more good news today!

I'm finally getting my check for a car accident I had a year ago.

A woman rear ended me last November while I was sitting at a red light. She completely totaled my car and messed my back up, I even sprang my neck.

My car was on worth a little over $5,000. I'm finally getting paid $5,500 ish for it.

After all my stressing out finally something really awesome has happened a nice security blanket for when i quit my job until we reach income tax time.

Already told DH and that he better not touch a penny of that money and to only touch it if we have a dire emergency.

@krendel1990‌ I can't believe they didn't offer to help at any point! I'm mad for you! I hope baby snuggles made up for some part of that but you sound like an amazing friend.

Yay for an awesome day @psychobutthead‌

I failed my 1-hour test yesterday I spoke with my OB and she is going to just call it now, so I don't have to make my toddler sit in her office for three hours while I take the next test.  I had GD last pregnancy, so we knew the chances of failing this time here higher.  

I am bummed because I feel like I am failing my daughter, even though I know that isn't the case.  I am also stressed because my son had to go to the NICU for a half day the morning he was born, because his sugars were low (a common side effect for NB of GD moms) and I was a huge mess over it when it happened.  I know a half day is nothing compared to some of our NICU moms (he was later admitted to NICU at TX Children's for unrelated issues, we spent a few nights there) but I knew it was my fault, so I took it hard.  

I am doing much better with it this time, though.  I have already altered my diet, expecting the fail and when I tested after lunch today my numbers were awesome.  I feel like I have a much better control of the situation right now, and that is encouraging.  It does suck that I can't enjoy Christmas cookies and candies though :-P

On the bright side, I had a growth ultrasound toward the end of my last pregnancy because of the GD, so I am looking forward to the possibility of getting another chance to take a peak at my sweet little girl!

Aww I'm sorry! Glad you will likely get another peek of your lil one!

Thanks @twinklymama!

@umbcpt‌ I appreciate your concern! He's doing really well, he kept saying it was a different kind of pain, a surgery pain rather than arthritic pain. He even got up and walked a few times while I was there. So it looks like this surgery was a success and a good idea! Only a few more days in the hospital before he goes to a rehab center to finish up some physical therapy. He's determined to be mobile by the time LO is here

umbcpt

@racheltherose‌ So it was a surgery based on arthritis? Not on a traumatic fall/accident? Do you know if they did an anterior approach or posterolateral approach?

Your dad sounds like he has a great attitude, and it's funny, that I hear patients give that feedback after hip surgery so long as the surgery was due to arthritis and not a traumatic injury! Isn't it so cool that he is up and walking! I hope everything continues on this path! Awesome news!

@umbcpt‌ he was in a car accident a few years ago, and had arthritis. He's had 5 back surgeries and had a stroke... Plus numerous visits to the hospital for sky high blood pressure. He frequents the hospital, lol. They did say the surgery was less invasive than they thought they'd be from the trauma to his hip, so we were happy to hear that. I'm not sure what approach they used, the incision is on his side I think, idk if that makes a difference. It was wild to see him walking already, I think it made him feel really good about it too

This is a holdover from an earlier spam thread, but I figured I'd just post it here instead of bumping up an older one...

My spam for the Friday afternoon/evening is this:

My pregnancy hormones just led me to have a crying argument with my husband about expense reports.

Major 8-| at myself.

We've been together for 14 years, so we're pretty good at having fights by now, meaning we've come to a resolution and made up already. But it's still probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever cried over!

So DH took DD to the local Barnes and Noble tonight since they are having a starwars themed night. So they are doing free star wars arts and crafts type stuff to support DD's school.

So they're out doing that and DH even made dinner before they left. Cant help but be happy that something actually got through

I love when they actually go have alone time together.

I'm exhausted for some reason, and it's only 9pm. I really just want to curl up in bed and go to sleep... I am thinking that I just need to give in and do it and not fight myself because it's too early to go to bed. We are painting Alec's room tomorrow!

Edit: I used way too many exclamation marks and needed to restrain myself.

Uggghhhh the antibiotics my doctor put me on yesterday are not sitting well this evening. Please stay down please stay down please stay down

My DH turns into someone else during college basketball season. I have conveniently tucked myself upstairs with the iPad so I don't have to listen to his rants about the refs.

@psychobutthead, why did it take so long for the insurance $ to come through? Just curious - my accident was 2.5 weeks ago and I've already been paid for the damages to my vehicle. 

I'm not 100% sure why, I know they dragged their feet with my case and I was switched to 4 different case managers. One case manager was fired for not doing her job so then when all her cases got split up the new case managers had to call all of their cases and explain the delays. Thats was the only reasoning I was given.
