I'm a mess today. That is all.

I had to stay home with DD today since the babysitters kid was running a 103 fever. I would have rather gone to work. Not that I don't like spending time with DD, but because if I'm home I'm cleaning/organizing/doing SOMETHING. At least at work I get to sit. 

So, off to work on more projects...

I feel like garbage today. Nothing in particular is 'wrong', just have that overall crappy feeling. I want to go back to bed.

Yikes, it sounds like this has been a rough start to the week for everyone! No exceptions here- I am super stressed at work and can't wait for the next few days to be over.

kghusker1003

Add me to the feeling like crap/garbage group. Not sick. Not even feeling super sleepy. Just feeling.. blah.

Rough morning here as well. Oh how I miss sleeping through at least most of the night.

I am feeling overwhelmed this week. I'm leaving to visit my husbands family in Florida in 3 weeks and need to have all the kids stuff sorted out so DH can switch up rooms and get furniture built and set up. I feel like I can't get enough done and I am frustrated.

DD discovered that song Let it Go. She's only 18 months old. But she keeps demanding that song. It's cute and annoying at the same time. 

Other than that I feel really anxious. I took a side gig to design a logo and it's stressful. I already work full-time, have a toddler and am pregnant. I just really wanted to bring in more money because I don't know how to afford another kid. But the financial stress is overwhelming. I think about it constantly, that I'm not doing enough for my family. DH has made huge strides for us and now I need to pull my weight.

I can't sleep, which is really frustrating since we have a big pitch today. On the bright side, I think I've caught up on every single board in true creepy lurker fashion.

If my 1 hour GTT is delayed because the f-wads at LabCorp can't get their act together (I even have a flipping appointment), I might lose it. Hangry pregnant lady checking in.

I've been running a fever since Wednesday and feeling like death... I've been super concerned about the baby, considering the fever, and today I had my normal OB check-up appointment, and she couldn't care less.  The rushed me in and out, the nurse was short with me.... I'm so frustrated.

I was running a fever for a few days too a couple weeks ago and was concerned and the urgent care said that if it wasn't 101 or higher it wasn't a big deal.  Gee.  Thanks.  

notachanski

I went to urgent care too @maybeitsmadeline and they just told me to take tylenol to keep the fever down for the baby, but I was so worried that being sick with this virus would upset the baby and this OB had like barely even time to hear me out.  Ugh.  I ended up calling and talking to a different doctor (my office has several and you get who you get, don't get to pick) who was MUCH nicer and more helpful.

Add me to the grumpy/feeling like crap group. I felt this way yesterday too and couldn't shake it. We have our first prenatal class tonight and all I want to do is go home and camp out on my couch with Netflix.

On a positive note, the December 2017 group is live. I feel like we moved up in line! 

Dovahkiin_99

@oheliza44 Our prenatal classes start tonight as well, and in not looking forward to getting home late tonight (7pm-9pm). On the bright side it will be cool to meet other expecting couples. 

tuxielove93

I think I caught the pregnancy bug lol. I'm just super tired today with no discernible explanation. Oh well. Camping on my couch. 

ladybray

Heart burn is the worst and my toddler won't let me be today! Tempted to turn on Disney songs on youtube to buy me an hour of silence.

ginger1228

You guys are amazing with your prenatal classes. I just looked at the schedule for the first time yesterday. Time is really getting away from me! I'm also signing up for a CPR class. DH is already certified. 

Poppyseed72017

Ugh... went to my prenatal visit and I've gained 10 lbs from my last visit. Dr felt my belly for baby and said she was concerned about GD. She said baby felt big. Is it even possible to discern baby's size that way?? She told me in the meantime I need to watch my diet. No sugary drinks and to stay away from grains and fruit. Which I usually never have sugary drinks and the only grains I have are oatmeal, brown rice and the occasional sandwich bread when I eat sandwiches. I do have fruit at least once a day. I have always felt like baby is too heavy but thought it was all in my head. I guess I will just have to wait on the results from my GD test that I will be doing tomorrow.

Crazy morning... A lady on the subway was asking for a seat since she was a high risk pregnancy and no one got up. At first I was like well I'm pregnant myself and she's on the other side of the crowd. But she was really vocal about it and upset, I hollered to her to come over. What a world! When a 6 months pregnant lady gives up her seat. Oh boy.

Feeling like shit but I AM sick. DH's buddy from work, his gf and their (adorable) little girl came over on the weekend. I guess they weren't sick at the time but were carrying something. They got sick, then I did. I have never been sick in my life so much as I have while pregnant. Honestly. I'm not used to this. I had a killer immune system previously. (TMI) My nose is literally a faucet, I shit you not. It will NOT stop running. I've never experienced anything like this before. I've been through an entire box of kleenex already. If I don't keep something stuffed up my nostrils it just runs down my face. Gross!  I've officially moved into the spare room tonight to try and get some much needed rest as sleeping our room with the hubby isn't working as of late. Who knows if it's a space thing (can we say pillow central?! lol) but I'm gonna try it out.  I have my first prenatal massage tomorrow and I know I shouldn't go but I've been waiting weeks for this appointment. I'm not giving it up. I need this! *sigh*

MamaRN13

I'm feeling like a terrible mom right now. DS keeps asking me to play PJ Masks with him (which involves me ALWAYS being the bad guys shouting 'we'll get you this time PJ pesks' and just hoping action figures around the house). I have ZERO energy recently and I just can't seem to even fake play with him. I feel horrible about it, but it's time for another movie so I can lay down. Poor kid

Work was insane today. Usually we have somewhat of a lull in winter (meaning we're not COMPLETELY) full...but it never came. 

Makes me really nervous for our normal psycho time in summer especially because I'll be so pregnant, and there are no special considerations even if I'm due the next day. I'm not saying pregnancy is a handicap but maybe not having me be on hands and knees monitoring a baby and giving hard, intense labor support at 38 weeks (like last time) would be nice. 

I have a case of the Mondays even though it's Tuesday. 

ginger1228

Our new fence and deck is finally done and I love it! We need to get something for the gaps under the fence to keep our dogs from getting curious about life on the outside, but I'm so glad it's done. We'll stain it this summer. 
I keep picturing baby (well toddler) playing on the deck and it gets me all excited.

Be sure to bring tissues and keep them with you on the table! I get a prenatal massage every two weeks (well every 2-3 weeks for the last 4 years) and there have been so many times laying on my stomach that my nose just runs straight down, so gross! Now laying on my sides to not squish the babe-nothing worse than having to ask her to get tissues for me or sniffle every 3 seconds for an entire hour! 
Enjoy mama! You deserve it!

Also, I am excited because DH & I can start looking at houses and seeing what's available in the area we want!!! We haven't done the process to get a pre-approval mortgage just yet since they're only good for 30 days and it's a hard hit to the credit. We're waiting to do that once we know the area we want and what are must haves and must not haves are with the house!!! SUPER EXCITED

No idea where to post this. How can I check my notifications on mobile? Is that even possible? TIA

Why do some people have different numbers next to their names..?

Do you mean, for example, the "21" at the end of mine? If so, I chose it and I'm assuming other people did too so it's not a TB thing but rather just usernames we've picked. 21 is my "favourite" (what does that even mean these days? lol) number so it's in most of my usernames across the Internet.

@BusyZee I think it's some kind of glitch with the Bump.  It started happening last week.  I hope it doesn't happen to me!

longhairdntcare

I am so upset about it.

I can't tell if TB wants you to be rae 1 through 3, or rae negative 2.

@SpongeWorthy exactly, fingers crossed

I prefer to take it as 1 through 3. Like, I am so awesome that I deserve 3 screen names.

@plumpous Very delayed response but this annoys me so much! Are you meaning to tell me literally nobody else got up for her, even when they saw you getting up instead?

I take public transportation as well, in a city where pregnant ladies get pins so there's no question of "is she or isn't she". I've been really surprised to find that people just won't give up their seats.

I can understand that some people are sitting for a reason, and these reasons aren't always visible - but this can't possibly apply to everyone, and it makes you realise that some people are just being jerks. 

Most of the time I'm fine to stand, but it still makes me angry on principle, and for others. Especially people who deal with pain or issues that make it difficult to stand on an ongoing basis (as opposed to pregnancy being temporary).

Twinkiedoll

@plumpous do you live in NYC?  Because I saw this happen in NYC all the time.  Once, when a seat did open up, a guy in a business suit LUNGED for the seat to sit down before the pregnant woman could sit.  Then he got off at the next stop.  Asshole.

ginger1228

Ugh. I saw stuff like this when my brother was injured once. His hip gy popped out of socket and after it was fixed, he has to use a can for a few weeks. We went out to eat and no one offered him a seat while we wished forever for our table. And if a seat opened up, people took it and didn't say a word. I don't remember him caring, but it made me so mad! People are just rude.
