    My H had to put my socks on for me over the weekend. If I drop something and want to pick it up it involves a full on curtsey. I also realize that I can no longer lounge in a seated position because it gets too uncomfortable. I either have to be lying down or sitting up very straight. {sigh}

    While I don't like sleeping with my Snoggle, I've found that its great if you want to sit up in bed and read or watch TV.

    @jennypm‌ I hear you on the expensive hobbies frustration. My DH is really into a game called War machine, which demands that players shell out tons of cash for models in order to be competitive.

    I wouldn't mind it so much if we brought in a three figure salary, but we don't. So instead I get constant pouting over the fact he can't be as competitive (pick a less expensive hobby genius), or over the fact we can't afford him to travel to all the tournaments. Not to mention being a massive waste of storage space, and the fact he leaves models everywhere. He has an entire room for his hobby, so I'm thiiiis close to just throwing shit away when he leaves it in the bedroom.

    Ugh, H plays these weird medieval games online, but I don't think they cost that much. I shouldn't complain, I did get new furniture for the living room.

    Lord I haven't even tried my uggs on yet.. I hope they fit.

    Anyway, I had my first scary pregnancy nightmare. I don't like it and I hope it is all just nerves.

    Essentially I felt like a single mother going into the delivery all on my own. H was nowhere to be found. I literally pushed the baby out without complication and then was binded into a tummy trainer corset, and sent on my way.

    The next day, I was back to work, and my milk finally comes in, but one nipple was only expressing blood and milk. So I had to waste it, but the baby was still in this weird hospital, so I couldn't even feed him at all until they let him out.

    Nothing about the dream felt right.

    I think I have a lot of nerves going into our sonogram on Thursday to get better imaging of the baby's heart.

    Saturday night I did talk to my mom about being in the delivery room with me. I feel better knowing she is going to be there with us.

    @khansil5 I'm glad I'm not the only one who had a SO obsessed with fish! We have a 92 gallon freshwater tank in our living room and a 50 gallon tank upstairs. He is on a first name basis with the employees at our local pet store haha. Our Bala shark jumped out of the tank Saturday night and he literally stayed up until 1am keeping watch on the fish, not sure what life saving measures he was going to perform if things went bad haha!

    I currently have a Kruse (boy), Addison (odd bc boy), and Saje (pronounced Sage, also boy) in my class right now. Several other questionable names, but these are the oddest. I feel bad for these kids. 11th graders.

    @Skrittens I'm sorry your Uggs don't fit anymore. My Uggs are one of the few boots I can get my feet in. If I can't wear them, I am screwed. I'll be that pregnant lady walking around in 30 degree weather with flip flops on.

    Back from my trip with H to Sedona! Beautiful views, delicious food and I survived a 4 mile hike.

    I'm taking time off to work on LO's nursery this week and get ready for the holidays. And prepare for my in-laws' arrival...

    @Skrittens‌ Oh no! Does it help if you elevate your feet?

    @mommyofkaylin‌ Goof luck with the test! :)

    Regarding hobbies, my hubby is the more frugal one, but he takes up WAY more space. He collects rocks and fossils he finds ... which wouldn't be that bad except he doesn't just keep a couple of the best ones ... we ended up with about 11-12 boxes of geodes, trilobite fossils, and a special type of rock ... from one trip. They're still in the boxes and it's been a year. :( He's amazing, but he does have trouble with getting rid of things.

    @DragonflyDreaming‌ Same here. Frugal H with semi-hoarder tendencies.

    It just occurred to me as I got my Bump email that I'm 26 weeks today, that many of you M15 Mamas are in your 3rd tri already. Is anyone else feeling like this is going by so fast?

    Random- I woke up aggravated this morning, during my H's family gathering this weekend everyone criticized me for taking maternity leave at 26 weeks. Then asked how I pay my bills, assuming that my husband pays them for me. I just want to make it clear to the world I paid off all of my bills before hand for the next 5 months before I did this and I did not want to put my child at risk because I'm around sickly dogs and cats all day that I have to lift on to tables and restrain for 8 hours a day without breaks. I wanted to enjoy this pregnancy and made sure I had everything taken care of before I even stopped working! Gah! And I'm going to school full time! So I don't understand why it's such a big deal!!!!!
    Anyway- rant over that is my randomness for the day.

    Yes, it really is flying by.  I feel like I am spending all my weekends getting stuff ready (life, house, baby, holidays) that I am not enjoying this time before the baby.  It's stressing me out.

    Re: husbands with expensive hobbies, I feel your pain. My husband is into golf and that is a really expensive one. He works super hard and it makes him happy, so I dont mind too much but it does startle me seeing our cc bills how much we spend on golf in a year. On the bright side it helped me feel better about spending an extra $150 on a stroller we will use daily, thinking it's basically 2 rounds of golf :)

    My random is that I've suddenly lost my appetite over the last week. I have had to force myself to eat dinner 3 of the last 7 nights and last night I just couldn't even eat. I am only 25 weeks so it seems early (I inderstand this can happen in the last few weeks). It's aggravating since I want to make myself eat to help the baby grow.

    Anyone else have this happen to them? Have a dr appointment today so hopefully he can tell me if this is normal.

    Morning!  I had a fight with my DH last night and handled it terribly.  He messed up but I was a crying mess.  I think I am just worn out from still having MS even at 26 weeks.  And on an unrelated note- how are there still trolls?  This board is awesome and supportive and it just seems so late in the game for crazy folks to be starting ish.  Grrrr.  Makes me want to bust out my teacher voice on them!

    I didn't realize how badly this would bother me but it does: no one can tell I'm pregnant :( I was at the grocery store this weekend and an older lady stopped me and said "Excuse me, can I ask you a personal question?  Where did you buy your shirt?  That would look so good on my daughter and she's plus-sized, too!"  Beaming with pride I said, "Oh, I know how hard it is to find plus-sized maternity shirts!  I got this at Old Navy."  To which she responded, "OH!  I didn't realize you were pregnant!  Well, hopefully they'll have something similar in the regular plus-sized section.  Thanks!"

    :((

    On another note - while I'm super thankful I have caring family and friends to host baby showers for me - do you think it's too late to have them at 35 and 36 weeks respectively?  I'm kind of nervous because my hosts selected the latest dates I offered them and I've heard bad things about being super uncomfortable and not even enjoying it.  I mean, thank God I have C because she'll be the one to carry all the stuff, wash the clothes, and organize it when we get home.  But I'm wondering if I should jump the gun and buy the travel system sooner rather than later in case I go into preterm labor.  I just want to be prepared.  We have a lot of other stuff we need already and have the nursery pretty much set up.

    @luvsponies‌ The lovetit was for commiseration. All Xmas gifts for my family are done but H's family has given us absolutely no indication of what they may want.

    @Darbie914‌ I think I need the grumpy cat mug for H!

    @Darbie914‌ Thank you! we are actually in a very safe pretty much rural area, but all the warnings are scary. We no longer have base stickers on the cars since they stopped doing that for safety. Going through FB and deleting all pics in uniform like he was told to, and double checking our friends lists.

    That is about to be me. I work in a pretty professional office setting in NYC and walk a few blocks every morning. I am going to have to work from home during snow storms.

    Currently, I can squeeze my feet into a pair of ugly black tie up shoes. A far cry from my Jimmy Choos I loved to wear and love so very much. Heck - right now I would get excited to wear my Aerosoles comfortably.

    Thanks, @Darbie914.  That is a good idea.  Yeah, I wish my showers were being held the first couple weekends of January but my hosts are (understandably) on their own schedules.  I'll take what I can get :)

    @luvsponies‌ Yes, it's so frustrating. The most annoying part is that I know his mother wants something in particular, but she just keeps "forgetting" to show/tell H what it is. We've been in the same gift card situation before too.

    @wishiwaspreggo‌ the love tit was a sympathy love tit. I hate that moment when you realise someone just thought you ate too many holiday cookies. Gah!


    My random is im already on my way home from work because only 7 of my 17 kids showed up to school today so were out of ratio. I feel like shit so I volunteered to go. Atleast this gives me time to catch up on my to do list.

    @wishiwaspreggo‌ I know how you feel, I think people are just starting to realize I'm pregnant, and I think I look extremely pregnant by the way I walk and the shape of my belly! But it's okay, I know my little man is there so who cares what the rest of the world thinks! My shower, or at least the one I know of is February 7th a little late for my likening but my birthday is the 8th so they are doing a combo thing I guess.. But I'm due in the beginning of March, so it might be stressful, but I'll take it! I'm with you on the travel system, I want to drive with the car seat in for a little before he's here, luckily my grandfather is purchasing it for me, so hopefully it will be here sooner rather than later!

    AFM: I only have two days of work this week, well of actually going into the office.. Tomorrow and Wednesday. I have a drs appointment in an hour and I'm nervous...

    98 days left, 98 days left.  I have a lingering cough.  I have a crapload of grading and writing and errands to do today, but all I want to do is watch Law & Order.

    I have a rant.  Please feel free to ignore, but here goes:

    My in-laws are driving me crazy.  They live less than a mile from us, but FIL built a tiny cottage about an hour and a half away.  They are insisting we celebrate Christmas with them there this weekend.  Fine, but they keep changing the day and time, and they want to make a huge production out of it with a  full meal and everything, which will need to be cooked on a charcoal grill outside in 20 degree weather.  The cottage has no kitchen, no bathroom door (there is a curtain), and they are using upside down paint buckets for tables.  It's cramped and uncomfortable, even with only the 5 of us that will be in attendance.  The last time I was there they didn't have hot water, either, though this may have changed.  The water isn't drinkable, either. 

    My ILs are terrible at planning ahead and makes everything far more complicated and tension filled then it needs to be.    My FIL designed this cottage and he is very proud of it.  He does beautiful, intricate woodwork, but it is extremely impractical.  It's a fancy little house and he designed it without a kitchen because it didn't fit into his aesthetic plans - but it's quite remote and it's not like you can call out for a pizza or pop down the street to the store.  FIL and my BIL also don't lift a finger to help my MIL, and MIL is constantly flustered and fawning over everyone, which means DH and I will have to do all the work.  No matter where they host, we generally get there and end up eating 2 hours later than planned and my FIL bickers at MIL the whole time in between monologues in which he drones on about the house or asks me the same needling questions over and over.  My MIL bends over backwards trying to appease him and make everyone happy, which makes me want to stab myself in the face with a fork.  

    I don't understand why we can't either A) make this a simple gathering where we bring ready to eat foods and try to enjoy each other's company, or B) drive 6 blocks over to their house for dinner.  I'm pretty much a bitter bitch.

    Your insurance doesn't cover a rental?  That blows :( It sucks having your car out of commission for so long, that's for sure.

    Hmm…maybe it's her first time out in public?  She doesn't sound like the brightest bulb, so maybe you do look pregnant to others?
