Monday Randoms

jlbaker08

I had an iced venti decaf hazelnut latte this morning and I actually closed my eyes and sighed while drinking it, it was so delicious.  I'm not sure why, but it really hit the spot this morning.

Edit to add: we picked out DD's birthday party venue and theme and I asked her to think about which friends she would like to invite.  She told me there are some kids in her class that are just too wild to invite, my 3yo going on 35.  And yes, I'm that mom, the one that doesn't think you have to invite all the the kids in class to be "fair".

The baby hates work I only puke when I have to go there...

Me too! I was off for two weeks (teacher) and did not get sick. This morning, back to work, different story

My random is that last night I was sleeping soundly in bed until around 11:50 when DH rolled over and I woke up. I could not go back to sleep until 2:00-2:30 and then I woke up at every :50 until my alarm went off at 5. Ugh. Happy Monday, welcome back to work!

I signed up for prenatal yoga and the first class is tonight. I'm very nervous because 1) I haven't worked out forever and I get winded going up our stairs 2) I've been to exactly 2 yoga classes before (in different locations) and don't know what to expect 3) I am about as graceful on my feet as a newborn giraffe Wish me luck! @ELauren88‌ sorry dear, that sucks. I hope you get over it quickly!!

My first class is Wednesday! It'll be great, don't worry about not knowing what to do, just watch the instructor first and then attempt yourself! Good luck!

I finally broke down and wore maternity clothes today and I'm not gonna lie, I'm so comfortable I want to curl up and sleep.  I "popped" earlier this time than with DD, so it was high time for me to get my ass into something comfy.  I am relishing every single second!!!

DH's grandmother (whom he considers to be his mom since she raised him) is dying of colon cancer. They found it about 2 months ago. They put her on morphine last night which means the end is near. She's 85 I believe, so she's definitely led a great life! I'm extremely happy we were able to tell her about the baby and got to see her reaction. Our last interaction with her was definitely a positive one and a good memory. The only problem is, I don't know when she'll pass, and we leave for Hawaii early Saturday morning. It's such a sh*tty predicament and so sad! Makes me feel like a giant a-hole. 

DH is so distraught, and it's hard for me to console him. I lost all my grandparents at a young age so it's hard for me to relate/bring back repressed memories since I was so devastated with each loss as well.

Sorry for the Monday downer, this past month has been a tough one.

@beepity Have fun with your prenatal yoga tonight!  I just signed up for a spring session of prenatal yoga and am super excited.  Typically teachers are good about offering different options for students to try based on their experience and/or how they are feeling.  I hope you have a great experience!

DD turned our master bathroom into splashpad this morning while I was throwing up in the other bathroom. I've never seen so much water on the floor. She also poured cup-fulls of water onto our mattress. YIPPEE.

It is so freaken cold here - windchill going down to negative twenties!! Also, expecting some 3-5" of snow overnight. Not going anywhere today!! Not even to get the mail!! Decided to stay home, and play some computer games, as my house is spanking clean and no laundry to do!! Also, who is excited for the Bachelor airing tonight!! I know, I know, it is a mindless show, but oh...is it my guilty pleasure or what?!? ;-)

amhoover88

It's cold and I don't want to brave the weather for an hr and a half meeting at work. On a happier note I have a doctors appointment today and I'm hoping to hear baby's heart beat... Yay!

@DarcyHermione @Officedronette - DH and I have had sex one time since my BFP (though we've done other things besides intercourse) because I have been super nauseated and not in the mood and we were nervous after a previous loss. After we were done, I swear, he said, "Ok! Good for another month or so!" Such a good husband! haha

DH was browsing groupon yesterday and found some blackout curtains.  He ordered 2 set and I was wondering why.  Apparently, the second set is for the nursery.  :x  This is the first official nursery purchase!

Nooooo!

Agile, scrum, half-cubes, JIRA, meetings, emails, rescheduling, marketechture...synergy...

I didn't want to come back after two weeks of peace. Someone put me out of my misery.

Finally updated my siggy, yeah. Sitting in the library (covering for a meeting) and wondering why in God's name they let the kids out to play. The wind is so strong, it looks like some of them are going to blow away. I know most schools try to get out when the temperature is at a certain point but all the kiddos look miserable. Makes me glad I'm inside.

I am pretty sure I've got a sinus cold going on. I had a fever of 99.7 yesterday, my nose is stuffy, my ear hurts, my throat gets all tickly, and I'm coughing too. Plus I've got a horrible headache. I forgot to take my temp this morning, though. I still decided to come to work to at least show up and then get sent home. Only to find out the person who would cover phones if I went home, is already out sick. So I am screwed. Ughhhh! The dilemma of working for a teeny tiny company.

I'm back to the Bump after 2 weeks! Happy to be back with my buddies. It's making my first day at work a *tad* more tolerable.

My mother has been avoiding me for weeks. We haven't had Christmas with her yet so she still does not know the news. She totally blew us off this weekend and I got snippy with her and now she's not responding to me. My poor dad is so excited and trying to keep his mouth shut so it doesn't slip on FB but I'm about ready to just send her a "Sorry For Your Loss" card with the US and be done with it.

>:P and it's freezing out, I have a headache from still being sick, and I'm just. not. in. the. mood. For anything.

RWPhoenix

Oh we are signing DD up for pre-school today.
My baby is growing up *cries*

I'm wearing real maternity clothes today. Not because I need to, but because I can. 

RachyDC

@rwphoenix speaking of, DH and I went to look at our first round of daycares this morning just to get an idea since this is our first...$440 a week!!! We're both currently re-evaluating our lives right now haha.

steen9713

Totally jealous of all you ladies who are returning to work after having TWO weeks off! I had some time off but not TWO weeks! I'm going to sit and pout lol

sutavim2

My coworker is sick!!! Ugh. Coughing sneezing, the works. And she's sitting right next to me. I told her that I'm gonna keep as much distance as possible from her since I really cannot get sick, and she's all butt hurt now. Really?!

Sorry ladies, just had to vent.

RWPhoenix

We moved in April and I can't find my maternity clothes!!!!! Luckily my cords are still not too tight but I need to find them soon.

Mffrll

I started crying the other day because chicken all of a sudden tastes like cat. For the record, I have never tasted cat. Also, my spinach I had for lunch tasted like wet dog. Why does food all of a sudden taste like pets!?

RWPhoenix

Everyone is either here at work is talking about 1) The Boston Marathon Bomber's trail beginning today 2) the weather. While the first is certainly an important topic to us locals, I have a feeling this is going to get old, fast.

beepity

@junedear67‌ first I would verify that those two were on "maternity leave" and not just using a PTO bank. (Which may involve asking them directly). 

At my company women can use PTO as "maternity leave" to keep getting paid. 

If they were in fact on a strictly paid mat leave then I'd take the steps that PP suggested.

They switched to single ply toilet paper.  WHY?!

Ugh it's cold. I'm at work. I want to be at home snuggling my puppy.

Exactly this. Instead...my boss just asked me to take down the Christmas tree here at the office. I don't wanna, dammit.

Get Low just came on the radio in the car and since it's like my all time favorite song (I know, I'm such a classy lady!) I was smiling from ear to ear as I turned it up too loud and I'm certain that anyone driving by me thought I was a crazy person.

BTW, I love Lil Jon

I'm entertaining every morning this week except Friday. I don't have the energy to present a put-together front.

I do this to myself. I hosted the MOMs Club board this morning for our monthly meeting and I got to hear, "I don't know how you do so much! You're super mom. I know so many more people who are the opposite of you." Well, I have ADHD (legit) and I'm bouncing off the wall without purpose more than not, so I take on responsibility to help me focus. Maybe too much but there it is.

I'm leaving my job that has an hour and a half commute for a job FIFTEEN minutes from my house. WOOOOHOOOO. It's been a long time coming y'all. I can't wait for these two weeks to pass.

Our dog is sleeping next to me while I write. Which is sweet except he keeps FARTING. Like toxic waste farts that make my eyes water.

About to rant:

My friend is going through a tough time with her boyfriend.  But now she's called me twice in the last couple weeks in the middle of the night to have a conversation (basically just her bitching about him) for 2 hours.  The last time, I didn't answer and she called a total of 5 times!!!  Then, she called my DH to see if he was next to me and could pass the phone over.  Are you fucking kidding me?  I'm pregnant, I'm sick, and I'm fucking tired.  It's 2:30 am and no one wants to hear this crap.  DH was at work and ended up talking to her for 2 hours to calm her down about how bad all this is.  Her boyfriend is definitely cheating on her.  Her solution is to do nothing about it.  Nothing!  This guy is ignoring her, heading out at all hours of the night, lying about it and her solution is to do nothing!

Now, all she does is talk about this problem.  DH had to call me on my other line to tell me an excuse to get her to hang up because I was entering an hour long conversation on this guy.  I don't want to be a bad friend and not be there for her, but it's entering the point where no matter what I say, she changes the subject to this guy.  I don't fucking careeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Advice?

I found out THRU FACEBOOK THAT my sis got engaged. She's been dating this guy for like 6 months. I've never met the guy. When I saw her at Thanksgiving I asked her how things were going with him she was all "I dunno" and when I asked if he was coming for dinner all I got was "I dunno". I thought they had broken up.

I want to be happy and supportive, but wtf? I'm also concerned because she's already been married and divorced, I don't want her to get hurt again. Wwyd?

I would call her and tell her that you're very happy for her, but wish you would have found out in a different way.

I found out my sister was pregnant via facebook with all her other friends. I found it pretty rude. You can't even text me? You have to announce it to everyone? You've just lumped me into the same group as people you don't even talk to from high school. Be supportive because she's your sister, but it's totally fair to make some jab at her about the way she did that.

We found out that DH's sister was pregnant via Facebook...and to make matters worse, we were the ONLY ones who found out that way. Everyone else had been invited for a special dinner and a sweet reveal, and we weren't even given a phone call. DH is still mad.

@ashslatts524‌ - Jim Gaffigan is hysterical. DH posted his sketch "4 kids" on my FB last week.

Home on the couch today recovering from this sickness! I hate missing work! I always feel so guilty!

The reminds me of the episode of The Office where Dwight has a guy make the 2-ply toilet paper into the 1-ply.

I just spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find a gif of the de-plyer machine and failed.

Also, my maternity clothes random is a fail. I bought these pants at Target and they fit fine and then I washed them and just barely dried them...and they're too damn small. They keep ending up halfway down my thighs. I feel like a penguin walking in them.

I told my boss this morning about the baby (and coworkers as well)! He took it much better than I thought. I showed him the ultrasound, and he stared at it for a while until I explained to him what it was! Haha, then he proceeded to tell me how his wife was bugging their son and his fiance about grandbabies over our Christmas break. Their son is my age and went to HS with DH. Hooray for not having to keep secrets at work anymore! Now we need to come up with a cute announcement for Facebook!!!!  

LadyAnnibal

Tomorrow is my next appointment and I'm hoping for an ultrasound! Also, this Zofran works miracles but being constipated has made me nauseous.

We pick up SS today from daycare and I'm hoping to be happy to see him rather than annoyed. This pregnancy has my rope short with everyone.

I've been kind of a debbie downer so I decided to stay away from you guys to spare y'all my dark cloud, but I'm feel a bit better so I figured I'd pop in.

I missed you ladies!
