This week is one of the busiest of the year for my dept at work, so I'm sucking at catching up at night. I'm still here though! @UnwritteN12 I can't believe your babies will be here in a week!! Exciting!
Good thing I'm working from home now since I'm going to have a drugged up puppy. Poor Snickers has an inflamed disk and is on meds....again. Doxies seriously have it rough with being so long and skinny. Their poor little backs!
To to all the other mamas who have toddlers that are having a hard time sleeping, I am sorry! I've been telling D all day today that mommy needs to sleep in her bed and Deklyn in her big girl bed. I also may have bribed her multiple times with the promise of a prize in the morning if she stays in bed at night. She's not getting up for any reason besides being a turd face. I'm at my limit! I'm crossing my fingers for a good nights sleep tonight.
I had another random comment but then I forgot what I was going to say. Shit
@seitzy3 after 2 weeks of up every night at 1:00, DD finally started sleeping better bjt last night she got up at 2 begging for milk. I really hope she sleeps all night tonight! That's one of my biggest fears, that ill be up allthe time with both kids.
ETA: do you think she might be scared? I know we talked about it before, but I was so anxious as a kid, and was always so scared at night but I was afraid that if I told my mom, she would die or I would die. Maybe she's afraid but doesn't want to tell you? does she have a night light?
@UnwritteN12 so excited to see the BABIES!!!! And I agree that I'm surprised (but happy) that we haven't had more babies on this board already.
@Themaritimemama that sounds like a crappy day. I hope your LO won't end up needing those steroid shots but I'm glad they are preparing you for the best possible outcome either way!
@UnwritteN12 I'm so excited for you and for you to meet your squishies!!!
@Themaritimemama Bummer dude that sounds like a supremely crap day. I hope the injections do the trick and your BP comes down, take care of yourself mama and enjoy the extra time off work if you can! And I hope your DH is ok after that accident!!
My random for the day... and somewhat of an early WTF Wednesday: We're housesitting at my moms, she lives 2 minutes away from us. Our cats are indoor/outdoor, they have a cat door that they use. Well, one of my cats is a complete idiot, and knows how to get out but not back in, so the first couple of nights we were gone, we'd let him in when we came to feed them in the evening, and lock the cat door so he couldn't get back out. The last couple of nights he hasn't come to be let in, and we got a little worried, because he's a pig and never misses a meal. The duplex next to us, which is owned by our landlord as well, just re-rented the upper suite. We met the people in passing a few days ago and they seemed ok, and at the time I was holding the missing cat, Miguel, and they remarked how pretty he was (he's awesome, giant orange fluffy cat). I was just over at our house now, and was shaking a treat bag outside to see if Miguel would come back in. I'm out in the backyard and I turn around and I see him inside the new people's suite... pawing at the glass, and he can clearly see me and he's trying to get out. I'm like WTF. So I go and knock on their door. "Oh this is your cat? He's been coming to our house for the last 3 days, we thought he was a stray." No you didn't bitch, he has a collar on and a tattoo in his ear, he's not a fucking stray, you met him the other day. I didn't say that but I kind of gave her a look like "seriously?" and I was like Well I'll take him home now thank you for keeping him safe, we were worried about him... and she was like well we had to buy him food, we were going to just keep him... could you pay us back for the food we bought and we'll give him back?.... SERIOUSLY?! ARE YOU LEGIT TRYING TO BLACKMAIL ME FOR MY CAT? I was like um, no, you made the decision to buy food, and I appreciate that you kept him safe, and fed him, as I expressed when I said thank you. But he's our cat and I'll be taking him home now. And she literally picks him up and tries to close the door... And then he scratched her face and jumped down and ran outside up to my door. So I walk quickly back to the door and let him in the house, make sure the cat door is locked, and lock him in. She comes around the corner yelling at me that I'VE STOLEN HER CAT, and calls the cops... at this point I almost want to laugh it's so ridiculous. I go inside and get out the paperwork/receipts and vet statements with my cats tattoo numbers on them for when the police get there. They took about an hour, but I didn't want to leave in case crazy pants tried to break into my house to get the cat. The showed up, I explained what happened while she's screaming and crying in the background and her father is trying to stop me from talking, so the cop had to get his partner to take them into the backyard, and I show him my documentation and he's like they tried to steal your cat? I'm like well technically they tried to blackmail me for my cat first, and then they tried to steal him and now they're claiming it's their cat... Cops pretty much told the lady she didn't have a leg to stand on and that they were making a report, so if my cat went missing again, they were going to be on record as having already tried to steal the cat. I was almost scared to leave the house in case she tried to break in, but then one of the girls that we get along with upstairs came down and said she'd heard the whole thing and offered to stay at our place tonight to watch the cats personally, bless her heart. I might go back tonight and relieve her; we can't leave my moms dog alone at her house unfortunately, so DH might have to stay here alone tonight, or there. And then I called the landlord and told her to stop renting her suites to crazy people. She was not impressed with the new tenants, me thinks they won't be there for very long.
TLDR: My new neighbour tried to steal my cat, then called the cops on me for taking him back. Crazy ass neighbours...

I hope we both get sleep tonight.
Last night she was scared to death. She was shaking and hysterical until i got up there. I asked her what was wrong and she said she just wanted to lay with me. She must of had a bad dream or something. I laid with her for an hour and she still wouldn't go back to sleep, then two, three hours passed and she was still up. Every time I would try and leave the room she would scream so loud. She didn't even want H around at all, it was so odd.
Girl, she has three night lights. last night was an exception because usually she never acts like that when she wakes up so that's why I stayed with her for so long. It's just miserable because she isn't napping anymore either so by 5pm all hell breaks loose
I hated so hard on greys anatomy in UO a few weeks (months?) ago, but for the last two nights I've been binge watching ok Netflix. I take it back Shonda, please forgive me.
@UnwritteN12 I can't believe the big day is next week!!! So excited for you!!
@yellowrose314 wow! People are freaking nuts! Wtf. I can't believe you went through that. Is it mean I was happy when you said your cat scratched her face? Yeah, get her! No but seriously, that's scary! Hopefully she doesn't try to grab the cat when it's outside again. Yikes!
@yellowrose314 what the actual hell? The cops would have been called for a different reason because I would have broken the girls face in for stealing my pet. I really hope the landlord evicts them soon on the grounds they are threatening the safety of her other tenants.
My random for the day... I picked up my breast pump today from Target. We now pretty much officially have at least a few of everything we need for baby & the nursery is done. I'm in shock.
I'm trying to be a better board member and participate in the randoms but the multitasking needed to address all the previous posts is too much for my pregnant self.
i'm working 2 weeks of nights (80+ hours each week -ugh!!!) for these next two weeks which is terrible but I'm eating enough peanut butter m&ms which are wonderful that it almost evens out.
DD1 6.2011 DD2 4.2013 - vbac DS1 9.2016 - vbac, team green Baby #4 due 9.2018
My random today needs to go on OU instead of here, but it really, really irks me when people purposely don't get married and mark themselves "single" when having kids so that they can collect government assistance/ healthcare. If you are paying for this baby together and are a couple, then your qualifications for assistance should be calculated as such!
I want to add that I am all for assistance for people that need it. I also don't care if you get married or not when having a kid, just don't pretend to be a single parent on paper when you aren't. I just get mad when I see people abusing the system when I get to pay for both their healthcare and my own insurance with each paycheck.
The crazy is real. My landlord called me back and said she went over and talked with the new tenants and said if anything happens like this again she's going to evict them for threatening/stealing from us, which she legally can do. So there's that. I just went over again to check on him and our upstairs neighbour, she said the father who lives with the crazy lady came over and apologized, and said he was just trying to support his daughter; apparently she's had therapy pets for years, and her last one just died. Ok, I can get on board with that, I felt bad for her. And my friendly neighbour was like oh wait... then he asked how much we wanted for the cat because she was very attached to it and he "couldn't guarantee that she would try to take the cat again"... yeah, no.
So I went over and talked to him, she wasn't there, and I said under no circumstances is my cat for sale, but that if he wanted to get a pet for her the rescue cat society where we got our cats from is always looking for homes for their cats, and he should look into he. No he tells me, she's attached to our cat. I'm like well that's great, but it's not her cat, it's our cat, and she's a middle-aged woman so she probably should have learnt that she can't just HAVE something because she's attached to it; toddlers know better than that. And then I walked away, and he was like yelling obscenities at me. So I called the cops to update them, and they said there's not much they can do unless they've uttered threats of violence against me (which they didn't) or they've attempted or taken the cat again. So I called my landlord and I was like get this fresh batch of crazy away from me. Looks like they might be getting evicted...
@seitzy3 The tattoos are much more common where I live, the microchips are CRAZY expensive. We got our cats when they were kittens from a local society that fosters and does adoptions for feral cats and their kittens; it's a great cause, plus they pay for the tattoo fee, spay/neuter and all their first shots/deworming. We've had these guys (they're brothers) since they were 8 weeks old, they're our fur babies for sure.
@rock1cherry I'm not going to lie, it was incredibly satisfying to see. I'm 99% certain there's some mental health issues going on there, but it's not like you can bring that elephant up with someone who is A.) clearly unstable and B.) just tried to steal your cat....
Eek @yellowrose314 I do feel a little bad knowing there are possible mental issues involved, but these people just sound shifty and untrustworthy. Trying to apologize and then ask to buy your cat? Ummm no! I sincerely hope they don't touch your cat or speak to you again. That behavior is messed up!
@yellowrose314 WHAT THE F*CKERY...the apple clearly doesn't fall far from the tree. Regardless of threats or not, any run-ins should be reported...so even if the cops don't respond (as they've so far done their due diligence), you will have the calls for service on record. And hello, Miguel clearly doesn't give a sh-- about crazy chick! Miguel wants to be home, where he belongs!!
Ok a busy day at work and 150+ randoms to catch up on...here's my best shot at responding to everyone:
@UnwritteN12 Next week!!! Ah, I'm so excited for you and to see more squishy baby pics on the board!
@yellowrose314 That's some major craziness! Let's hope you don't have to deal with that for the duration of your lease!
@marikkita112 Happy to hear your Mom is doing better!
@Themaritimemama Sorry you had a tough day - hopefully tomorrow is better (and that your DH and van are ok and your BP issues stabilize!)
@blondie080300 I would definitely demand a work from home day (or days until the ac is fixed) and insist that it not come out of your annual stash. Heat like that is dangerous for us super pregnant ladies! I bet your midwife would even write you a note if your employer pushed back. You're really not asking for much!
@seitzy3 Is it at all possible that your DD has too much light in her room (with 3 nightlights)? Like @MrsVoorhees I was a nervous kid and always scared at night. Having nightlights kept me awake and the longer I was up, the more my fear/anxiety escalated. I'm definitely not suggesting you take them away completely but maybe go down to just one to promote better sleep?
I'm sure I lost some thoughts/tags along the way but I'm impressed at myself for those I did remember! And now goodnight Ladies, sleep well (please, God)!
Oh my gosh @yellowrose314! My cat just came home after missing for 5 days so this really hits home! I was so worried that someone just took her and took off her collar and claimed her as theirs. That is infuriating and crazy!!
Married 6-1-13 Sebastian 3-11-14 Simon 5-2-15 Baby #3 Due 9-29-16
@yellowrose314 that whole story is crazy pants! I would like to formally request regular Miguel/crazy cat lady updates.
@mamadomino Well hopefully this saga won't go on for too much longer... it's already exhausting. Just had to call the cops again because I stayed over at the house for a bit, and heard someone outside, opened up the blinds and she was in my backyard with a bowl of cat food looking through the windows and shaking the bowl. I feel bad for having to keep calling my landlord but like she's trespassing now, it's getting out of hand. I phoned the cops again and I was like look, I'm 8 months pregnant and I have no idea what lengths this woman might go to. I shouldn't have to be afraid to leave my home because she might bust her way in to grab the damn cat. They came by and basically told the lady that if she trespassed again, they would take her into custody. She railed on about how it was her cat, we had abandoned him, we owed her for food, yadda yadda yadda, and they shut her down and said that if she persisted, I was interested in pressing charges (which I totally am at this point), and they wouldn't hesitate to arrest her. I just don't feel safe here right now, so DH is on his way to stay the night here and I'll be staying at my moms.
@yellowrose314 holy crap balls!!! 1) Poor Miguel was just waiting for you to come outside so he could paw at you through the window like "I've been cat napped!!!". I'm so obsessed with my dog, I have no idea WHAT I would do if a neighbor tried to steal him. Get a kitten and give it to her or something. I would seriously be setting my a video camera in case she came around again trying to steal him. Sheezus, they sound like a bunch of crazy and who knows what's to come if they just moved in...
@RN1stBae DH set up a motion activated camera up that he had kicking around. So far he says it's been quiet, except she was up on her balcony muttering to herself. But it seems they've gone to bed now.
@frogdog06 I haven't! But I will go do that right now
@yellowrose314 that's very concerning that these people obviously are unstable enough that you confronting them and the police confronting them doesn't seem to fend off trying to steal your cat. Hopefully they'll be evicted soon and you won't have to worry about it anymore!
Does anyone else have Hulu and watch/watched 11/22/63? We are about 4 episodes in and it's so good!! I'm so excited to finish it but we can't watch it when DD is in the room and I go to bed when she does so that leaves weekend nap time.

I started to read the book....and then Robert & Elleanore were born. I keep meaning you pick it back up because it really was amazing! I didn't know that they were doing a series though. Very cool!
@themaritimemama I'm so sorry that your day was so terrible, hopefully today is better!
@yellowrose314 WTF?! I have never heard such a ridiculous story, she's clearly suffering from something. I can't believe she tried to blackmail you!
@toimadness1 I haven't started iT but I'm dying to! What did you think?
My random for the day is that my OB's office called and asked if I wanted to be seen for my appointment a day early because they're super slow and are swamped on the day of my actual appointment (Wednesday). I said sure, loaded up all three kids, and ran in. I then proceeded to wait an hour and a half to see the doctor and he wasn't even planning to check me even though I had been contracting all afternoon. He says "well, I can, but you don't seem uncomfortable so you're probably not doing anything." He goes ahead and checks me and finds out I'm 3cm, 60% effaced, and at a -2 station. So then he says "oh wow, you're definitely close to having this baby, I bet you're really uncomfortable." I just stared at him bc I couldn't even.
I then get home and DH wants to know why I didn't iron his shirts today and if I had plans to fix anything besides bacon for supper. I calmly explained that I could very well be in early labor and didn't feel like ironing anything and that I really didn't see why bacon couldn't be dinner. I guess the upside is that I finally picked a bag for the hospital since I've been putting that off forever

We watched it! I enjoyed the book more. I thought there was so much more they could do with the series instead of making it a mini series. Still good though!

I then proceeded to wait an hour and a half to see the doctor and he wasn't even planning to check me even though I had been contracting all afternoon. He says "well, I can, but you don't seem uncomfortable so you're probably not doing anything." He goes ahead and checks me and finds out I'm 3cm, 60% effaced, and at a -2 station. So then he says "oh wow, you're definitely close to having this baby, I bet you're really uncomfortable." I just stared at him bc I couldn't even.
I then get home and DH wants to know why I didn't iron his shirts today and if I had plans to fix anything besides bacon for supper. I calmly explained that I could very well be in early labor and didn't feel like ironing anything and that I really didn't see why bacon couldn't be dinner. I guess the upside is that I finally picked a bag for the hospital since I've been putting that off forever
eta: I wasn't done
We watched it! I enjoyed the book more. I thought there was so much more they could do with the series instead of making it a mini series. Still good though!
