Yes, I got the Gabrialla Medium Support. It did feel a little funny at first so I wasn't convinced it would work. I didn't even notice it after I started moving. It's the most comfortable I've felt teaching in about a month.

DH is working 12 hours today. So that means quality Netflix and puppy time for me. I decided to start watching Switched at Birth.......perhaps that was a poor choice while I'm pregnant! Lol

One of my Zumba class participants gave me a Christmas present of lavender vanilla sleepy time bubble bath. This may be the best bath I've had in forever. 

 @irishtheatrechic‌ Ahhhh...yes. This is the norm around here. It makes me wonder what this place would look like if it weren't for me!

I have been watching a ton of documentaries lately and have recently begun eating healthier than I ever have in my life. Interested to see how it affects my energy levels, depression, skin, headaches, etc.

Supposed to go start my registry with my BFF. She texted me this morning and said lets do it early, and now it's almost 11am and I am still waiting on her! What a lagger! Yesterday I found out my cat probably has cancer. He is one of the rare cats who got vaccine-induced sarcoma. So I basically feel like I paid for him to get cancer. And that it's all my fault that he is going to die. He has been super attached to me the last couple of weeks, always wanting to sit next to me or in my lap. Breaks my heart.

That made me cry. I lost my cat this year and I still miss her. It probably doesn't help to say this but try not to blame yourself; you were only doing what was best for your cat. No one could have predicted it would have resulted in cancer. I hope that you get to spend plenty of time with your cat and have time to accept and say your goodbyes. My cat died suddenly and I always wish I had had some kind of warning that I would never see her again.

@irishtheatrechic‌ Are twins a kick starter for binge cleaning/organizing? Every time DH is free or home early I have been doing all sorts of cleaning. But I also live in fear that if I don't get ahead on some cleaning projects that I won't get them done due to fatigue or the inability to turn or bend over. 

Just jumping in on this; twins have definitely been a kick in the butt for me! I just have this worry that anything could happen or else I am going to get so big and uncomfortable that I won't want to do anything. I do some sort of organizing/deep cleaning at least once a week.

The twin cleaning kick skipped me! I tire out way too fast doing just the basics I haven't gone to do anything deep. I went through DS3's clothes if that counts.

Good grief! I just saw a September pregnancy announcement. We are getting so far along!

We took DD to the zoo today and when I saw the flamingos I couldn't help but think of the  May '15 Bitter Snatches!

@FreddyisReady so sorry about your cat  

Lezzie82

Doing much better. I should be able to leave tomorrow morning

So so so exhausted though. I can't keep my eyes ipen

Ok I have another.
I picked up my friend on the way to the baby shower and she announced to me she is expecting. Me and her became friends because I am really good friends with her boyfriend. Anyway, I know this isn't what he wanted. She confessed to me a while back that she went off her birthcontrol because of no insurance purposes but assured me her boyfriend knew about it. I told her how to get state help and so on with getting more birthcontrol but clearly she didn't do it.
I'm just in shock. I don't even know what to say to my good friend, the father. I know he will make a great dad but I don't know how to approach him to make sure he is ok. I don't want to say "are you ok?" Or "congrats!" Because they both seem a bit heartless. If I'm trying to wrap my brain around this I can't imagine what he's feeling.

FreddyisReady

Thank you ladies for all your kind words about my kitty. To answer some questions: we will not be persueing treatment. It is expensive, invasive, and high chance of not working. We will be keeping an eye on him though and spoiling him like crazy. We don't know how fast this cancer will move, he may have months or even a whole year. About 5 years ago, I had to put my cat of 18 years down, so I do know what to expect, and how to recongize when it is time. Again, thanks for the condolences. You're the best group of bitter snatches ever!

This is a tough situation. I would recognize the situation: "I hear GF is pregnant." And then ask how he feels about that. Then follow his lead.

And btw-birth control isn't that expensive! I paid for it for years without insurance.

Detroit please do not fuck this up! I really don't want them to win but I can NOT have the Cowboys win this game!

I was lurking on April '15 today to see if there were any new updates on the ladies who had their babies. While there, I popped into their Sunday Stupid Question Thread and saw a poster mention a documentary on Netflix called Breastmilk. Have any if you watched it? I did while folding laundry. It was very interesting, and made me want to BF more than ever.

You're asking a lot of the Lions :P

I know but the Cowboys winning would kill me. I would seriously stop watching football till next season.

@cassietegtmeier‌ I know for me I knew I was keeping the baby but I felt congrats was like this was planned, and as excited as I am about my little nugget now. It is a huge kink in my plans, that being said I am now ok with congrats. If you're close with him I think the pp has a good idea by bringing it up and kinda letting him roll with it. Maybe not point the finger at the gf.

I got pregnant because I was working overnights and messed up my pill, I had unprotected sex once. Here I am! I literally want to rip out her throat when the dads mom accuses me of doing it on purpose.

Welp... Packers better take the Cowboys out! Bitter New York Giants fan here! 

cassietegtmeier

@FreddyisReady no it's not!

& @rivers714 I'm not blaming her for the pregnancy I just know that she has wanted this for a long time, she will admit it, and he didn't at all. She's always said she just wants to be married and have kids. I know he isn't there in his life. It's all hard to swallow because here me and DH are so happy to be expecting and in know that's not how their household is.

The Panthers always suck against Green Bay especially at the frozen tundra. I'm glad the Cowboys won so we can go play the Seahawks!

I like Cam and hope he gets his ring this year! Actually any team other than the Patriots or Cowboys can win the Super Bowl!

Nothing interesting.  Finally have time to see the online bump and I love seeing all the tickers and signatures!

ETA: I've been online before, but usually don't have time!

I thought I would get out and do a little gardening while DD played in her pool. The first batch of weeds I went to pull were, in fact, stinging nettles. My foot and hand are on fire. Awesome.

I'm sorry you got stung (I'm actually not even sure what a stinging nettle is??) but I am SO jealous DD can go in the pool in January!! Ugh why do I live in cold NY?! (

There's an app for that!? You just made my night!

MrsPDX

cassietegtmeier, Well there is a "Cookie Finder" app and it will show you a countdown if they aren't selling yet in your area yet. I saw a Pacebook post about Girls Scout cookies this morning was so bummed to learn I have to wait 5 whole days...

I love football!!!! I was so happy to see the Lions self-destruct (I'm a Packers fan).

My poor DD is sick with fever of 103.5 and runny nose and cough. I'm so sad because tomorrow is her birthday and she will probably have to stay home from daycare. We were hyping up her birthday since Christmas and she has to spend it sick. I know she's only 2 and won't remember but still....

And why am I still awake at 10:30? I'm always tired but never want to sleep.

Oh man that stinks!! Sick kiddos are the worst-hoping at least her fever is down tomorrow so she can enjoy it a little bit!

Maybe they can do a little birthday party for her at daycare next week when she's feeling better!

DH's snoring has gotten so bad I can't take it any more!!!! It sounds like there is an animal shoved inside his nose making this god awful crazy sound (

I'm making him to go to an ENT. He feels congested ALL the time (during the day also). I'm convinced he has polyps or maybe some kind of extra organ up there vibrating all night long

@Lezzie82‌ how you doing lady?!

I'm doing much better. Can't get any damn sleep in this place. It's one of those automatic shifter beds that moves you around and beeps and buzzes. Between that and nurse rounds I am wide awake now. Going to try and watch tv. They are seriously packed. I am excited about my nurse tonight. She is awesome and remembers me every time and we love her.

Do it!

My DH finally went to a tmj clinic because of jaw pain he was having. He was also a horrible snorer - but that was not why he went.

In addition to his jaw clenching/grinding issues, it turned out that one of his nasal passages was almost completely blocked by a cyst, his tongue sits "high" (apparently that is a thing), and the dangly thing at the back of his throat is longer than normal (also didnt realize they're not all created equal). Anyway, all of these factors together meant that he was struggling for oxygen all night. They created this cool/super unsexy nightguard for him to wear and seriously---it changed our lives. He can finally get a deep sleep (he also suffered from insomnia since he was 12ish--basically because he couldnt breathe). He doesnt snore. At all. It's incredible. Sometimes I don't even realize he's in the bed with me. Oh and they also gave him a day guard thing for the clenching.

Anyway--get your hubby checked out. There could be polyps or cysts or something else at play. Sleep is amazing!
