Its official. I weight more than my 6'3" husband. He normally is over 200 pounds but has been sick and lost weight. Hopefully he feels better soon and wants to devour pizza again because I do not like being heavier than him!
OMG me too. Well, mine is 6'1. For awhile during doctors appts I would tell him that he couldn't look at the scale...then I realized he's going to witness far, far more embarrassing things on delivery day so now I just roll with it. Eat the pizza if he doesn't want it!!!
Random contribution for the day...Tomorrow is (obv) St Patrick's Day and I need Guinness to make my corned beef and cabbage!! I've been putting it off because I feel like a jackass waddling my so very pregnant ass into a liquor store to buy it.

YES! I needed to get brandy for a recipe and I felt like a total dingus walking around the store because I obviously picked up some other stuff for after the baby is born. I got quite a few looks and MH even got crap because he works during the day as a distributor for a huge chain of packies in the area so someone recognized me as his very pregnant wife and joked that I was trying to liquor him up that night. Awesome.
I am doing it! I am bringing in my Boppy tomorrow! I can't handle this anymore. I just went to the bathroom and (TMI) I have this hemorrhoid that I am sure is the largest one in the history of the world. Between that and the intense vulvar pain I feel when I get up after sitting for too long, I need to relieve pressure from my sensitive areas. I don't care how weird it will look. I need my butt pillow!

Has anyone noticed their LO has a favorite spot? My guy LOVES my right side, I swear this is where he hangs out all day long.
My LO seems to love hanging out on my right side. Of course with their feet nestled in my rib cage.
Yep, always the right side here too. And up high!
My LO recently switched to the right side and she seems to like it there, too! I hope she stays put because I had terrible sciatica when she was hanging out on the left side.
Guys, we have a major problem (obviously not, but just exaggerating!). When Luna was in my ribcage, she was smooshing everything which gave me horrible acid reflux and I get out of breath easily BUUUT I could hit super high notes because she was pushing on my diaphragm. As a result, I am doing the descant for the Easter Cantata. However, Luna has dropped. I actually cannot hit those notes now. No one else in the choir can. We have an issue. I wonder if I can hoist her back up just for Easter service and then let her wander back down after?
@laurenmdrn16 can you manually push on your diaphragm to get the notes and let her stay put? Or maybe try maternity spanx or something with some compression to it?

^^ This! Before our regatta last weekend, I ran in the grocery store to pick up some snacks and beer for our crew. I felt a bit self-conscious as I put the case of beer in my cart and waddled my very pregnant self to the check-out line. It was really early and I hadn't had my coffee yet, so I was just waiting to rip into the first person to comment on the pregnant lady buying beer. I definitely got the side eye from the old lady in front of me. I thought she was going to say something at first, but she must have seen the look I shot her back because she quickly turned around and didn't say anything!
@laurenmdrn16 can you manually push on your diaphragm to get the notes and let her stay put? Or maybe try maternity spanx or something with some compression to it?
I am nervous about pushing around in there because I have no clue where anything is anymore, but spanx sounds like a great idea anyways. I was just so happy that she was helping me sing because with my son, my voice dropped like 2 whole octaves and I couldn't sing anything! We'll see how it goes...

This bothers me so much. I went to the beer store to pick some up for my FIL, and I definitely got some side-eye from a man in there. Seriously. Is it so hard to conceive that perhaps I am not buying this for myself? It pisses me off that women are constantly being judged when they're pregnant.

I got this just yesterday. I was picking up something for DH while I was out just bc I knew he might appreciate it since we won't be able to tonight bc we have a class. Of course I got all the looks while walking around the store. Obviously I know not to drink during pregnancy people. I got the stink eye from the cashier and I literally said in probably a pretty pissy tone bc I was just over it 'This obviously isn't for me... In case you wanted to know.'
She kinda put her head down and looked a little embarrassed... And it kinda made me happy.
Anyone drive a Prius or, more specifically, a Prius V? I test drove one today and I think I'm going to buy it, but just curious for any thoughts from personal experience one way or the other.

I feel like I might have told this story somewhere already, but whatever - a couple weeks ago I went into the vet to drop my dog off for his check-up at 7:30AM. He always barks like crazy when he's there, so I brought a can of rocks to shake at him, it's the only thing that makes him stop barking. As I was checking him in, the receptionist says to me, "Is that your morning beverage your finishing up there? I'm happy to recycle that can for you!" I look down and realize my can of rocks is a Miller Lite can. So it looks like I drove myself to the vet at 7:30AM, pregnant, drinking beer, not even giving a crap who sees. I was so embarrassed, could not believe how tactful and polite she was about it! Said she used to work at a homeless shelter where people would just be boozing up any time of day, and she kept saying, "No judgment!" I was like, "Yeah... but I'm pregnant. And I drove here." Told her like ten times it was my can of rocks and shook it for her, but still felt guilty! Instantly went home and made a new rock can out of a soda can.
Ok I want to kill my husband right now. And you're all totally going to laugh when you find out why.
So he just came upstairs asking for my nail polish remover...he got a new golf club and needed to remove some sticky residue from one of the stickers. I have this AWESOME nail polish remover bottle that I got overseas over 10 years ago...he tries to open it and breaks it. Accidents happen but he just doesn't give a shit. I'm annoyed because I can't get them here. So then he's getting annoyed at me for being annoyed and says, I apologised once, what more do you want? I wanted to yell at him and say, I want you to actually care that you broke something I've had for so long and care that I'm annoyed about it and apologise repeatedly. I kept my mouth shut. That back fired too cos he's still annoyed that I'm annoyed. Seriously husbands are the worst sometimes.
So yep, nail polish remover bottle broken. Husband shitty with me. Me shitty with husband. Why won't this day end?
Oh actually it totally gets worse...his friend has decided to surprise visit him this weekend which means he's staying with us. Didn't ask if it was ok, just booked his flights. All I want to do is walk around braless. Now I have to clean my house, tidy my guest room and keep my bra on all weekend. Shoot me. Just shoot me.
Its official. I weight more than my 6'3" husband. He normally is over 200 pounds but has been sick and lost weight. Hopefully he feels better soon and wants to devour pizza again because I do not like being heavier than him!
I passed my husband weight-wise about three weeks ago. He's not a big dude by any measure, and I knew it was going to happen eventually, but COME ON.
Can any 2+ time moms weigh in for me? I had Braxton hicks 37-41 weeks with DS so I know what that's all about. I've had a few the last couple of weeks as well. Today I've had a couple of hours of upper belly tightening that I have to breathe through and can't talk, it actually hurts and is catching me off guard. It's been roughly 3-6 times per hour, 30-45 seconds and almost seems to be aggravated by sitting or moving positions. I've thus far had uncomplicated pregnancies and have no pre term risk factors. The midwives suspect Braxton hicks and say they can be worse in subsequent pregnancies. I know what to watch for and all of that, but am debating whether to take their option of an NST just to be sure. Any experience or thoughts?
ETA just found the newly created labor thread. Feel silly posting it there because there's just no way I'm in labor so I'll keep checking back here instead of double posting
I kinda feel like a jerk right now...but not really - and this is probably all ridiculous and I'm overreacting. But I need to vent.
So I get home from my two day work conference and haven't seen my husband since Monday morning when he left for work. I pull in the driveway and don't see his truck so I get a little irked that he's not home & clearly didn't miss me or anything so I text him asking where he is. He immediately responds he's home, so he parked his truck in the garage because of the wind I guess. So I go to walk inside and notice that the little "winter shelter" thing (aka a cardboard box and some beach towels) for our cat is gone so I assume he threw it out, but what did he do with the beach towels? Then I walk inside and see that there are these plastic tumblers that I recently purchased sitting on the counter, clean...not in the spot they're supposed to go and I just know it was because he "doesn't know" where they go, even though I have told him numerous times where the other tumbler cups go.
So he's sitting in the living room and I walk in there and start unpacking and ask him where the beach towels from the cat's box are and he said he threw them on the burn pile!? And being already irritated with the stupid little things I kinda snapped at him about throwing away towels that don't need to be thrown out and he's like "those were nasty they needed to be thrown out." No, they probably had a layer of fur on them and maybe an occasional leaf piece & just needed to be washed....considering one of the towels was wrapped up into the other and that I regularly moved them around I know they weren't "nasty". 1) We're not made of money, 2) they were perfectly good beach towels, and 3) he doesn't buy that stuff anyhow - I have to..
So he's like "well, welcome home.." all shitty and I walk into the bedroom to put my pillows on the bed and see that he of course untucked all of the sheets, which is my biggest pet peeve because he never fixes the bed before I come home. Our compromise for the sheets is that his side stays untucked and mine are tucked because I can't stand getting tangled in sheets & that if he's going to untuck them he fixes them before I get home. So of course, I'm the one that has to fix the bed. Also, he apparently couldn't change out the toilet paper roll because it was empty...who knows how long it's been like that.
So I guess he got mad that I was being cranky because he showered, got dressed, then left. Before he left I asked where he was going and he said "I dunno." then kinda slammed the door and was just being extra dramatic. He tore out of the driveway like an idiot, which probably also tore up the end of the driveway that our neighbor very graciously leveled for us over the summer.
I know it all seems like ridiculous, small things and I'm probably overreacting, but I feel like I've talked to him about all these things so many times and I hate coming home to all this extra work after being gone for a few days when he's just sitting on the couch when he gets home from work. Don't get me wrong, he does contribute. But I feel like I usually have to nag him to get anything done...and I hate being that kind of person. He hasn't looked into something I asked him to do 3 weeks ago for the baby that he promised he would, he hasn't decided on certain people for our wills & legal documents, and he's supposed to get ahold of the realtor to get the house listed by April 1st because it's his friend. I'm trying not to get on his case about it, but we need this stuff done like now! Why can't he just do things like he's supposed to before I have to turn into an a-hole.

Ughhhhh, I'm so annoyed!
/end rant.
Omg you are my spirit sister in bed linens. I MUST have the sheets tucked in. This was a big issue with me and DH because he likes them all untucked. No! Just...no, no, no. I cannot budge on this issue. So, yeah, I feel you.
I hope he comes around and in the meantime, make the bed the way you like it tonight--you deserve it!
@valerie4786I am the same way. If I come home after being gone for a little while and things aren't how I like them, I very quickly get annoyed too. I like things in a certain way put in certain places and DH should know this!
I, too, hate untucked sheets. In the winter DH sleep under them and it drives me nuts! I almost stopped putting the top sheet on the bed. lol

The thunderstorm and hail in my area are both so loud right now that it woke me up, and I'm not even wearing my hearing aid. On the one hand, it got really scary for a few minutes there! On the other hand, I'm feeling very optimistic here. If I can hear the hail without my aid in (I have it in now and it isn't *that* loud), it looks good for me being able to hear a crying baby, right? Still taking all the extra precautions so I don't miss anything, but I'm feeling a little better about it now.
ETA: Hope my fellow Bumpies in this area are staying safe and dry!
I went out to dinner with my child-free friends last night and one got really serious and asked if I had ever misplaced my son when he was an infant. I was very confused by the question, but she persisted asking "Like, were you ever afraid you would set him down and not know where he was?" I had no idea where this was coming from and just replied "No...I knew where he was at all times. I mean, sometimes I would put him in his crib to nap, fall asleep and then wake up with a start looking for him, but then check the monitor and he was just sleeping in his crib. Why?" And with a completely serious face she says "Oh, well, because I was looking at your registry and the amount of NEON PINK clothes you plan to put your baby in leads me to think that you were afraid she would just blend into the couch and you would lose her or something." Then all the other ladies laughed and laughed.
Since the food hadn't come yet, I had to weigh out if this bothered me enough to make a stink, leave or just hardy-har-har along and be extra stingy with my portion of the bill. I chose the last option, but I wish I had thought of something witty to say. Grumph.
@ayeshaohara That's so annoying when friends just decide to come and visit unannounced! MH's best friend is a pilot. He usually doesn't know in advance when he'll be flying through our city, so he'll just call from the airport and say he's on his way to our house. The last time, we weren't even in town, so our neighbor (who has a key) had to let him in. It's so annoying! We finally just gave him a key, and I never bother with cleaning the house before he comes anymore. If he wants a spotless place to stay, he can get a hotel! And, its' your house - I say go braless if you want to!
@valerie4786 Are we married to the same man!? MH is such a procrastinator. It drives me insane that I have to turn into a complete asshole to get him to do anything he's not looking forward to doing. It's like I'm married to a 5-year-old sometimes! I can completely understand your frustration! Untucked sheets are the worst!
@laurenmdrn16 I don't even know how I would have reacted to that. I probably would have said something snarky and regretted it later. You handled it well I think.

@vinerie@AdorkablePixie@swflJD Thanks ladies! He left without saying bye this morning so I figure he's still mad at me, but I don't even care because I got a GREAT night's sleep! No heartburn after falling asleep, only had to wake up once to pee, and the sheets were perfect on my side! Haha. It was the best night's sleep I've gotten in a while!
Embarrassing symptom confession time - my hoo-ha smells. Of course, it could just be my heightened sense of smell, but still, I feel disgusting. I've been using feminine wipes but forgot to bring some to work with me today. Blech.

Careful with the feminine wipes they actually make the issue worse. You start removing the natural oils etc and so your body compensates by making more. We're all smelling less than delightful at the moment, believe me...but not long now!

Hm, I've never heard that before but I'd believe it! I've also been wearing panty liners and changing them often, which helps.

I've been using liners, and spraying the inside of my thighs (NOT my actual groin, just the thighs) with a little bit of perfume or using a scented lotion anytime I have to wear a skirt/dress (I always wait until the undies are on first because I really don't want to irritate that area). Makes a little bit of a difference. Also baths seem to help, though I'd think taking them too frequently would cause the same problem PP mentioned about feminine wipes...

I'm not sure where I said it before (maybe this thread?) but I am a huge fan of taking the shower head and giving a little extra spray to the undercarriage. Not like full on power-wash, but just a gentle rinsing with the nice warm water, nothing else (no soap or douche or anything like that). I have been doing it almost every night before bed and then let myself air dry while watching Jimmy Fallon and eating ice cream (after taking a Lactaid pill of course!) in bed. If it has been a particularly nasty day, I will even do a quick rinse after work and just rock a skirt or flowy dress for the rest of the evening, commando style. I find the more I let things *breathe* the less funky it gets.

So he's sitting in the living room and I walk in there and start unpacking and ask him where the beach towels from the cat's box are and he said he threw them on the burn pile!? And being already irritated with the stupid little things I kinda snapped at him about throwing away towels that don't need to be thrown out and he's like "those were nasty they needed to be thrown out." No, they probably had a layer of fur on them and maybe an occasional leaf piece & just needed to be washed....considering one of the towels was wrapped up into the other and that I regularly moved them around I know they weren't "nasty". 1) We're not made of money, 2) they were perfectly good beach towels, and 3) he doesn't buy that stuff anyhow - I have to..
So he's like "well, welcome home.." all shitty and I walk into the bedroom to put my pillows on the bed and see that he of course untucked all of the sheets, which is my biggest pet peeve because he never fixes the bed before I come home. Our compromise for the sheets is that his side stays untucked and mine are tucked because I can't stand getting tangled in sheets & that if he's going to untuck them he fixes them before I get home. So of course, I'm the one that has to fix the bed. Also, he apparently couldn't change out the toilet paper roll because it was empty...who knows how long it's been like that.
So I guess he got mad that I was being cranky because he showered, got dressed, then left. Before he left I asked where he was going and he said "I dunno." then kinda slammed the door and was just being extra dramatic. He tore out of the driveway like an idiot, which probably also tore up the end of the driveway that our neighbor very graciously leveled for us over the summer.
I know it all seems like ridiculous, small things and I'm probably overreacting, but I feel like I've talked to him about all these things so many times and I hate coming home to all this extra work after being gone for a few days when he's just sitting on the couch when he gets home from work. Don't get me wrong, he does contribute. But I feel like I usually have to nag him to get anything done...and I hate being that kind of person. He hasn't looked into something I asked him to do 3 weeks ago for the baby that he promised he would, he hasn't decided on certain people for our wills & legal documents, and he's supposed to get ahold of the realtor to get the house listed by April 1st because it's his friend. I'm trying not to get on his case about it, but we need this stuff done like now! Why can't he just do things like he's supposed to before I have to turn into an a-hole.
Ughhhhh, I'm so annoyed!
/end rant.
I hope he comes around and in the meantime, make the bed the way you like it tonight--you deserve it!

@valerie4786I am the same way. If I come home after being gone for a little while and things aren't how I like them, I very quickly get annoyed too. I like things in a certain way put in certain places and DH should know this!
I, too, hate untucked sheets. In the winter DH sleep under them and it drives me nuts! I almost stopped putting the top sheet on the bed. lol

Since the food hadn't come yet, I had to weigh out if this bothered me enough to make a stink, leave or just hardy-har-har along and be extra stingy with my portion of the bill. I chose the last option, but I wish I had thought of something witty to say. Grumph.
@valerie4786 Are we married to the same man!? MH is such a procrastinator. It drives me insane that I have to turn into a complete asshole to get him to do anything he's not looking forward to doing. It's like I'm married to a 5-year-old sometimes! I can completely understand your frustration! Untucked sheets are the worst!

Makes a little bit of a difference. Also baths seem to help, though I'd think taking them too frequently would cause the same problem PP mentioned about feminine wipes...
