Omg I actually contemplated posting an UO that while I'm looking forward to Fuller House and hope its good, I think its super lame that it has the exact same premise as the original...EXACT...
Sometimes I sleep on my back even though I know I'm not supposed to. Shazam.
My hips hurt if I sleep on my left side, even if I use a pillow between my legs. I can only sleep on my right or on my back if I want to walk in the morning.
I had my first corn dog ever yesterday. It was so surprisingly good that I immediately ate three more. I hate hot dogs but I'm probably having another for breakfast.
@pinottoparenthood another back sleeper. My weight crushes my arms..I try to roll a little to the side but I never wake up that way.
On Wed I wanted hot dogs, popcorn, and nachos. I settled for 2 Rubios fish tacos, popcorn, a snickers ice cream bar and a few sips of Dr Pepper. So bad but so tasty!
I have been eating candy like its my job, and last week I ate pizza rolls for dinner every weeknight (the fifth night, we ordered Dominos). I'd like to blame stress or pregnancy cravings, but really I'm just too lazy to cook and those are easy calories.
I might punch the next student that touches my belly.....not really, but I'd like to. I feel like high school kids should know better.
oh...my...word. I swear I would write a referral. I teach middle school, and they have far less of a concept of personal space and appropriate social norms, but not a single one has even come close to touching my belly! When I was pregnant with my first, I had a student that continually asked to touch my belly and would stare like a TOTAL creeper, it really freaked me out, and we had to have a conversation about how that wasn't appropriate and she need to stop asking. I've had a couple coworkers touch my belly this time around, and it hasn't really bothered me...funny thing is they always come up to me going "Awwwww mama you look so cute!!!" and rub my belly, but then they always, always (even if they've done it before) back off and say "I'm sure you hate me doing this..." Meh, whatever.
@imrachellea I just went off on one of my students that literally tries to or does touch me at least once a week. I asked her if she would touch my stomach if I wasn't pregnant, and she was like:" but I'm not touching you, I'm touching the baby." So now I'm giving a public service announcement to the rest of my classes today about how it's not appropriate to touch pregnant people. I totally don't care if it's a friend or a colleague I have a relationship with, but a student..get the hell off of me!
@erind228 I'd be very clear to that student that even if my baby was right there in that classroom NOT in my belly they are not free to touch her! You do not touch another person without their permission, or the permission of their parent in the case of a baby and someone wants to hold them. This is why, when I come in to school in May with the baby to partake of the Teacher Appreciation Week goodies, she will tucked away in my Boba wrap and I'll let people peek at her face but no touching will be done. And I'm not taking her into my classroom with my germy students. Just the front office and admin.
My FFFC: I've got a shower this weekend that I absolutely am not looking forward to. It's with DH's family, and they're all nice, but also a little too much (too loud, too many, too invasive). On top of that, I'm 99% sure that the majority of them are just going to buy me crap (or make me 5 million baby blankets), and I have a pretty decent sized list of things that I still need before baby (like a mattress). If you're not going to get me something that I actually need, get me something I can return so I can at least get a discount when I have to go buy the rest of this stuff.
Note: I really appreciate home made gifts. My MIL is knitting a gorgeous baby blanket that she said should be finished by the shower. I'm looking forward to that one. But all of DH's cousins are crafty, and I really don't need 6 home made baby blankets. Generally, I would love all of the crafty gifts, but our budget is getting TIGHT and I'd rather just get stuff that I'm going to need, rather than cutesy things.
I'm really looking forward to watching Fuller House.
I kind of want to save it for Maternity leave binging but I don't know if I will be able to. I got a little too excited watching the trailer the other day. It's going to be cheesy and campy af but if you go back and watch the show now, so was the original so whatever. lol
My fffc: I am checked the fuck out of work as of this week. I am done. I don't care. These people are on their own. I've got a decent temp now who I am training. Hopefully she'll get it all down in the next few weeks before I go but if she doesn't IDGAF!
Had date night last night. Pretty sure I ate my weight in crab legs, mac and cheese, and chocolate cake. No shame and I really want more for breakfast now
I'm really looking forward to moving out so that I can cook my own meals. Not because I'm really excited to cook, but because I'm so sick of carbs on top of carbs on top of meat sprinkled with a little bit of salad. You don't need to serve bread with PASTA. That's your carb. My dad and brother are so picky about vegetables that my mom never puts any into the pasta, so it's usually just plain spaghetti and marinara sauce... So the only vegetables in the table are what's in the salad, which isn't much, and my brother won't eat any of the vegetables in it except for cucumber, so my mom always has to make him his own seperate bowl from the rest of us, since his food isn't allowed to potentially touch onions or tomatoes.

I'm sure it's going to be cheesy and campy and probably lame but it was a show I used to get excited about when I was a child. I'm a sucker for nostalgia.
I shaved my legs this morning for the first time in EASILY 2 months...probably more. I had to sit on the shower floor to do it. Took care of shaving my business too...which was WAY more effort that I had planned on. Hubby better appreciate my handiwork tonight...the legs probably won't happen again until right before LO is due. The other part is yet to be determined..... I legit felt like this lady while shaving...like I had grown this garden and cut it all down.....I am aware that it wasn't all pretty flowers, but still. All my body's hard work...down the drain! Also, the pits NEVER grow, that's just nasty.
I'm totally using my pregnancy/anemia as my excuse when I forgot it's Lent and eat meat on Fridays. (I'm Catholic)
I feel like the pope said that that stipulation doesn't apply to pregnant women.....or, that could be me justifying my catholic guilt about not following the Lenten regulations this year. Haha.

I think that pregnant women are exempt. But I had planned on following it anyway and just legitimately forget. lol
3 miscarriages - 1 DS (6) - 1 DD (3) - #3 due March 30!
I received my completion coupons from Amazon, BRU and Target and went on a total spending binge this week. I also just spent a couple hundred on etsy on prints for nursery. I am super excited to get like 10 packages over the next week. If that wasnt enough of a confession of a shopaholic I plan on going to Carters and buying a crap ton of clothes over next 2 weeks. Kid has to wear clothes, right?

I always sit to shave. It started as a "because I can" after moving out of college dorms and then it stuck. So much more relaxing that way. And no chance of clumsy me hurting myself trying not to fall down...
I registered for and received a baby bathtub that I thought was slightly hideous (pink/brightly colored) - it was the only one I could find with decent reviews that didn't seem overpriced, at the time. I'm returning it this week because Skip Hop just came out with a moby tub that matches all the moby accessories we have, and is the same price.
In regards to using the "pregnancy excuse", DH and I had exams including urine and blood draws done earlier this week for a life insurance policy. When she spoke to him about coming in the evening she said we should eat a light lunch and then fast until the appointment at 5:30 (even though its supposed to be a 9 hour fast prior) and he goes "uh, yeah, my wife is pregnant..." (brownie points to him for knowing that wouldn't be an option for me!) and she said "OH she can just eat as usual than!" I tried to 'eat as usual', which is typically an apple and yogurt as an afternoon snack during my last hour class then eating at dinner...I MAY have popped a couple handfuls of peanut butter M&Ms when I got home before we had the samples taken...meh, whatevs. She said the samples were testing for sugar levels so I said if there is an issue with mine they can contact my doctor since I passed my 1hr GD test no problem.
I was a hot mess last night. I melted down over my feet swelling and it hurting to walk last night. I was on my feet most of the day yesterday so I shouldnt have expected much. On top of it DD wanted to lay on top of me and cuddle the baby, but I was so uncomfortable and feeling like a stuffed sausage I had to tell her no and I felt terrible. Then DH wanted to start a new episode of Vikings even though I was past my bedtime and the kitchen needed to be cleaned up. So I cried as I clean up because I was so upset DH wasn't helping. He did get the hint and turned the show off but decided we should play when I crawled into bed. I was so exhausted I just passed out without trying.
I am not really sorry about it, this pregnancy is kicking my butt.
I just found out the kids don't have school Monday and that spring break this year is 10 days long. I've homeschooled up until this year and normally days off don't bother me, but they do right now. Probably because I'm pregnant, the husband works out of state, and I'm stressed af. The thought of those 5 extra kids throughout the day has me like

Mhhmm. This will be me this weekend. My shower is tomorrow so whatever I don't get there will be purchased by Sunday!
I'm going home for lunch today and I'm going to take a nap. Then I'm going to go to McDonalds on my way back to work and not telling anyone so I don't have to buy for anyone else but myself coz I'm selfish. I am not sure what im going to get only that a Shamrock Shake sounds really good right now.
I wanted fast food for dinner last night and my fiancé didn't want to get it because I've been eating kinda crappy this week. As we pulled into McDonald's I was really mean to him and said "you're lucky you're a man, because you couldn't handle being pregnant!" He legit laughed at me and stared at me amused until I started crying.
I started in on a list of complaints about my body not being my own for over 8 months, finding out that the hospital enforces rooming in, with no option of sending LO to the nursery overnight, which I was desperately looking forward to because I haven't "been alone" since July. As well as how he said he was going to finally wash the dishes in the sink and didn't and it's been a week.
After he calmed me down (with fries and a milkshake) he told me we're in the homestretch, won't be much longer no matter how long that seems right now, and that seeing how hard pregnancy is, on top of periods when you aren't pregnant, has forever solidified that he is very happy being a man. It made me laugh so hard I hurt my pelvis.
I feel bad that I usually have a hard time expressing myself without being really mean first.

Pregnant women, the very young and old, and the ill. No need to feel guilty!

You may find that even though your hospital enforces rooming in, it'll be alright. DS stayed in my room the first night and had 4 hour stretches of sleep, but the nurses came in, woke me up, and did whatever they needed to just about every hour. The second night, DS was being monitored for a weird breathing thing and did not room in with me, the nurses were still in every 1-2 hours. So really, not quality time at all.
Re: FFFC
