    DH is out of the country this week. I hate being home alone (well, with DS), so sleep was already going to be difficult. But, there were major storms last night which had me, the dogs and DS up several times. When it wasn't storming, I was up peeing. This coffee can't brew quickly enough.

  • My hips have been killing me lately and sleeping laying flat in my bed just make it worse. I've slept in the living room recliner the last three nights, but DH leaves for work at 4am and insists on turning on every damn light in the house and crashing around. I may rage on him if he does it again, but I'm going to try sleeping in the basement tonight. It's only 6:20 am and I'm already looking forward to sleep tonight since I've been awake for 2 hours.

    @nataliemaephotography Can you move the recliner to the bedroom? When I started sleeping in a recliner when I was pregnant wit DS, we moved it to the guest room. DH doesn't get up early, but goes to bed way later than me, so I couldn't be in the living room.

  • Waking up to really painful carpal tunnel hands :'(
  • Hardly slept this weekend and because I'm so exhausted, I missed the last step on the stairs and landed hard on my knees and wrist. It all happened in slow motion and I'm SO LUCKY I didn't land on my belly. No lie, I was so scared that I did more damage to myself because I couldn't get up right away. I'll be sore for a few days for sure. I'm most likely leaving early today. I need a nap and to ice my knees! And it's also DH birthday and my mom flies in later and we will be all going out for dinner, so a nap is NEEDED!!

  • DD isn't feeling well and has been awake since 3:30 a.m. I took the day off work today and now I'm exhausted and too busy to have time for a nap. So. Tired. 
  • Varicose and spider veins! Newest body development. And the one spot hurts where they pop out! Ugh.
  • @JulieD85 I have them too this time  :'( so not cute, and surprisingly tender and painful! 

    I'm sorry for everyone that didn't sleep well! Add me to that club. I was up a ton, but for a stupid reason. We're moving later this week, and in the middle of the night I realized that I still haven't looked for the moving bolts for our washing machine. Now if we don't have them it's too late to order more online. I was up with constantly with anxiety stressing over these stupid bolts. I checked right after my alarm went off- they were sitting with all the rest of the manuals and warranty info, just like I thought. Grr.

  • Little woke up a 2a.m. even though he's been STTN for 4 months, for absolutely no reason that I could tell and started squawking like a damn pterodactyl or some shit until I came and checked everything out. He was fine and he wasn't even wet... it took me two hours to fall back asleep after that.
  • I'm still in bed. Which means now I have to work till 6. And I wanted to get out of the office early today. Wah Wah 
  • @sportiegrl1213 Glad you're ok!! 

    All the lack of sleeping. I'm not terribly uncomfortable but waking up to pee too close to time to get up is not ok. I was definitely on the want-to-stay-in-bed train this morning. And now work isn't even busy so all I'm thinking about is how tired I am. Soooo wish I could take a sick day. Eight. More. Weeks.

  • @bnsmith85 it was definitely the worst purchase. But I can't even make it work with pillows anymore, so now I'm just trying to get my money's worth out of that thing.

  • @ibabyloveb87 Ugh, that's the worst!  I seem to always wake up to pee 45 minutes-ish before the alarm is supposed to go off... Then it's like, do I go back to sleep or just stay up?? If I fall asleep, it makes it SO hard to get up 45 minutes later.  But if I stay up, I'm like, that's 45 minutes more of sleep I could have!!  Stupid bladder.
  • @mrskratt @bnsmith85 I hate my pregnancy pillow. Spent way too much money and a pillow between my knees and a giant stuffed animal work better. Lol

    @sportiegrl1213 Glad you're ok! I've taken way too many spills this pregnancy and it's scary. *Hugs*

    @Blonde1817 I feel you girl. My shower is Sunday and maybe 6 (small) things have been purchased. With a guest list of about 45. Like, I get it. I'm not entitled to presents, but if I had known people were going to go cheaper or buy off registry, I would've been slowly buying things over the last 7 months. This is why I didn't want a shower and, when I agreed to it, I was annoyed it was so late.

  • ugh, Mondays. I took Wednesday - Friday off last week since my in-laws were up visiting for my baby shower yesterday. I am currently at work kicking myself for not taking today off because I want to be home nesting/unpacking all the gifts we received yesterday, and when I get home tonight I'm going to be too tired to do it!
  • @sportiegrl1213 thank goodness it'll just be some bumps and bruises! Falling has probably been my biggest fear cause gawd knows which way this body is going to want to tumble.  

    @Blonde1817 I was concerned about my registry too but the week leading up to my shower I got tons of notifications of stuff being bought off of it, and then at the shower there were several more things that people didn't remove from the registry.  Plus people seem big on gift cards now, so hopefully you'll get a couple of those to go towards your more expensive items.  We also returned/exchanged a few things and took the gift cards from that and put it towards other items we needed but didn't get.  It will work out *hugs*

    @krzyriver *loving pets* porn day?

  • @LauraPCOS Lmao!! No, unfortunately there will be no "alone time" for me today. This horny mama has to put some ice on it, get her son up, and get to work. Supposedly I'm going to get some tonight. Or at least that's what he says. I'm so the man in this relationship. I'm always begging for sex. Lol

  • @LauraPCOS & @krzyriver it was so scary that I just sat there crying for a few minutes... both freaked out and grateful it wasn't worse.  :/

  • @sportiegrl1213 oh I would have bawled and then probably refused to move for the rest of the day.

    @krzyriver I'm the man in the bedroom too! Hubby doesn't get turned on by porn, I do; I'm always begging for sex and he uses the line "I'm too tired" or he smacks my hand away and tells me he's not a machine lol. And yet he was the slut growing up (okay he was the bigger slut), but he said he got it out of his system, where I'm just getting started!

  • @F47 Oh man, that sucks! Is your computer ok?

    @sportiegrl1213 I don't blame you. I cry every time I fall, either grateful it's not worse or out of frustration that it happened again. Being pregnant is scary, every little misstep causes so much worry. I'm glad you and baby are OK tho!

  • @LauraPCOS Yup, sounds just like my husband! I mean, he really is tired, he works SO much, but that never stopped him before we moved in together! He says it's cause he's older than me and because we have the rest of our lives. Whereas I'm more like "Why do it tomorrow when we can do it today.... AND tomorrow!"

    @krzyriver my laptop is fine because it's on a little riser. But, my phone was covered in coffee. So far it's still working. I threw more of a fit about this than I probably should have in the workplace. But, damn it, I'd had like 3 sips!

    @laurapcos I hope my prize for winning is more coffee. lol

  • @F47 Oh no!  You deserve to back to bed.  That is just unfair.

    @sportiegrl1213 I'm so glad you're okay.

    @krzyriver Your husband owes you big time.

    @blonde1917 don't stress too much about hospital bills. As soon as you get one call and work out a payment plan. With DS1 I got to decide how much a month I would pay and when I went Back to work I was able to pay more. 

    edit- also- most hospitals will do this for you, they just want to see you paying something!
  • My BF - I pee so often that it is actually starting to hurt to wipe, as if I have little cracks or something down there.  Feels like I'm plucking pubes every time I wipe lol

  • @sportiegrl1213 Echoing all the sentiments that I'm glad you're ok, even if you end up a little bruised. Glad it was in slo-mo so you could guard your belly!

    My MBF is also a DH one. I had my shower on Saturday. DH actually was a trooper for most of it. It was at my next door neighbor's house, and he was running food there (my brother catered as his gift to us, he works in a restaurant), and then after he was running gifts back to the house. The temp outside was around 88° but the heat index took it to almost 100°, so it was miserable. That's the good part.

    The MBF part is that I was organizing a TON of clothes we got from SIL and cleaning the nursery, and ended up with 3 trash bags I asked DH to please take downstairs while I put DD to bed. He stepped over them to go to the bathroom, and then just went downstairs to watch TV, not bothering to help me with the trash. There was also a bag in the kitchen that needed to go out so I took out all 4 bags of trash. I was so mad. I walked 5700 steps and 2.5 miles (according to my FitBit lol) on 32 week pregnant feet, and all I asked for was to please take out the dang trash! Today looking back it was pretty petty, but man I was so irritated at the time!

    @F47 Oh noooooooo! I hope your Mac is ok! :'(

  • @blonde1817 & @krzyriver I bet people are just last minute shoppers like me.  I literally buy shower gifts the day of the shower most times because I'm a huge procrastinator.  Showers are stressful though, I'm glad I'm not having one this time. 

    My shower for my first was accidentally planned for Mother's Day, and by the time we figured it out invitations had already been printed.  There were a lot of people that couldn't make it, and I felt bad for taking up people's day with my shower.  This time we're buying everything ourselves and it's been way less stressful!

  • @F47 Well if your phone starts acting up, you can try throwing it in rice. Supposedly it really does work. But I hear you, I'd be pissed if it was a fresh cup! Lol

    @ignoscemihi Right?! He's such a tease. Lol

    @sidecarsareforbishes You're probably right. Hell, I went to a shower on the 6 and I basically went from Bed Bath and Beyond to the shower. I'm a worrier, so I can't help it. Lol. I'm having underwear problems too. I push them under my belly, so they hang off my ass, but they're starting to dig in as the lower part of my belly fills in. It's so uncomfortable.
