There was supposedly a drive-by shooting at a baby shower in NJ...I just can't even understand what is going on in this world. And, in Indiana a (live) newborn baby was found by a 9-year-old in her backyard with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached...I know it's amazing that the baby survived but it was sunburned and all that is just way too pathetic for me to handle today
OMG @UponAStar16! Have they found the mother of that baby?! That breaks my heart.
I don't know, I couldn't actually make myself read the article once I saw the beginning. I'm guessing not yet bc it just was more focused on having found the baby and usually when they find the mom it's more of a crime story tone

thats terrible. Esp since Indiana is a safe haven state! We have a little girl at our baby home who is about 2 and a half now who was found with umbilical cord and placenta still attached in a pile of gravel at a building site by a neighbor. She's was/is totally healthy.
@kmolleltz ugh well I'm glad she's ok! For a lot of things, I try to not delude myself saying "I would never" because I know circumstances can push almost anyone to extremes, but I just cannot wrap my mind around leaving a newborn out..just give it to anyone, even a stranger.
On more positive news though, while sitting in a crowded Labcorp for 64346794332 minutes now waiting for bloodwork, I had some happy tears bc I saw a CNN video on facebook about black lives matter and "counter-protesters" (had it on mute so I'm not quite sure what they were about) meeting, hugging, and joining forces. Again I didn't hear the story but just so exhausted with seeing hatred and violence so it was nice to see what seemed like something positive!
Yesterday I saw on the news that a mother in OKC tried to stab her family and herself to death, she killed her 8 month old LO, her 4yo is in critical condition, and the children's father is now in stable condition... how can somebody do that? WHY?!?
Me feet were swollen and hanging off the back of my flip flops. Cried. I was grumpy and that made me sad. Cried. My dog looked extra sad when I left for work this morning. Cried. And the kicker. I work for CPS and held a baby withdrawaling from meth yesterday. My little guy was kicking the whole time I was holding the baby. Feeling my baby move has probably been the most powerful expirence of my life so I don't know how you can feel that and then use something like meth.
Yes OMG @NicholeL16! I would have lost it too. So so sad.

I'm feeling lonely and my mom is making me feel guilty today. She told me I needed to find some things for she and my daughter to do because she's bored. She said I should have made friends so that my daughter could have a bunch of friends (she hasn't started kindergarten yet and girls her age at church are very few). I told her she could go to my cousin's house since she has a daughter that's just a bit younger than mine, then she says "well I don't want to do that today because I don't feel good". And of course I can't say anything back because she's the one watching my daughter during the week since I'm on bed rest. She's not normally like this. She doesn't usually complain or make me feel bad, but I'm just laying in bed crying now because I hate being dependent on her to watch my daughter.
@amye102485 Awe, I'm sorry =( What does she really expect you to be able to d though? Sounds like she's just in a mood, I wouldn't sweat it too hard. I understand how much miserable it must feel to be dependent on somebody else though... just to humor her, I would maybe look of a list of free or cheap things to do in the local area and run it by her?
My husband is in a bad mood because the appointment took forever and he texted me he wasn't going to birth class tonight out of his frustrations. I pretty much cried in the car and then called him and we talked it out. He's coming but seriously, that was childish.

I'm so sorry @sportiegrl1213 mine is also getting worse. I've eaten yogurt for dinner the past 3 nights because it's about the only thing that gives instant relief...so I'll be talking to the MD about a prescription option to help treat. I hope yours gets better soon!
Thanks girl @bnsmith85. I take prescribed meds and they don't work well. I'm good till after dinner, then it starts bad. The meds that really help it aren't covered on my insurance and they cost about $200 without it. Totally sucks!

@AllyTheKid It was just the one hour, but my sugar started out higher than the threshold so I'm not feeling like I'll pass the 3 hour next Friday either. BUT I had also stressed myself out like crazy and I read that can increase your glucose levels. Now that I know what to expect I'm not so worried about it. If I fail, so I eat healthier (aka gain less weight in the end) and might get to meet Baby B earlier. Trying to keep a positive spin on t!

@ibabyloveb87 Excellent outlook plus from what the other ladies are saying and what I hear it's super manageable anyway. Regardless, I hope you go ahead and pass your three hour to avoid it altogether!
I'm just in a super funk today & need to whine for a minute - I apologize in advance.
My H had foot surgery at the beginning of March, and what was supposed to be a 3 month recovery is still ongoing. He got put back in a cast 3 weeks ago & went yesterday to have it taken off, only to find out it didn't heal right (which we suspected) and he has to start ALL over again. Meaning another surgery with a three month (or longer) recovery! He still has to have the other foot done as well, once this one heals. Also having hand surgery at the end of this month, and the other hand will be done sometime in August. I know he's miserable and in pain, which makes me sad, but on top of that, he's also pretty much unable to help with major stuff that needs to be done at home before baby comes, so I have no clue what we will do about that or if/how things will get accomplished. Not to mention the financial burden. Trying not to stress about this, but I had a bit of a break down yesterday.
On another note, I think I've mentioned before that my H & I play in a trivia
league...and we just found out we qualified for nationals in Vegas at
the end of August and we can go for four days for a total of $200 each (this includes flight, hotel & rental car) - fantastic deal. Anyway, went to the doctor this morning and brought up that we may potentially be planning this trip...and she advised against it. Doesn't want me flying that far in the third trimester. (I'll be 32 weeks). I totally get it, and kind of expected it, but I'm still sad. Was looking forward to eating my way through Vegas. My very favorite Thai restaurant is there and I haven't stopped craving it since January. With DH's surgeries, we didn't know if we could pull it off anyway, but now that it's definitive that I can't go, I'm just feeling bummed.
And to add to my funk..I've been searching Craigslist & local swap & shop sites every single day for a Halo Bassinet. I missed a Craiglist post this morning while I was at the doctor about a brand new Halo Swivel bassinet with all the bells & whistles for $100. I, of course, responded too late, and she had just sold it a few minutes before. That was just the icing on my cake for the day and I cried.
Sorry about the pity party guys, but I appreciate y'all letting me get all that out!
FI has messaged his mom to see how he is doing, but hasn't been able to actually talk to him yet =/ LO's first birthday is at the end of the month, and you can bet I'm picking his brother up and making sure he's here!
