ITS FRIDAYYYYY
Re: Weekend Randoms 1/19-1/21
I’m irritated that stores don’t have more summery maternity options listed yet. Im anxious to start stocking up on sundresses and comfy clothes since I’ve never had a summer baby before. That way I don’t have to spend a ton of money all at once. I realize it’s only January, but I want to plan!
I'm surprised @hillbillywife, I've seen bathing suits out already! Stocking over time is a great idea, depending on where you go I've heard maternity being expensive so that's a good plan
@talesofasocialintrovert ugh.... facebook is the worst for arguments and people "knowing" everything.
Two things today.
1. I hate that I've been busy and disconnected from our group. I find that I fall behind so often and don't know where to jump in but I do read what everyone has to say! My app doesn't work so I typically just follow along at work.
2. My grandmother-in-law passed away this week, so the funeral is tomorrow. We have a 3/2 house that's decently sized. However it'll be me, DH, our dog, DH three brothers, SIL, 2 kids and possibly another dog. It's going to be... fun to say the least. Oh and I nanny a little girl, so she'll be there too. Busy busy busy.
We start swim lessons next week and I'm going to need a maternity swimsuit within the next month, for sure! Most moms just wear a t-shirt and shorts in the pool - maybe I should try that instead? I abhor wearing wet clothes so the idea doesn't make me happy. But they said it's because larger toddlers will pull down your top - and I don't want that either! What to do?!?
@chicxulub ugh! That sounds so frustrating! Nothing is ever easy. It sounds like you already know that if you want anything done that you have to do it yourself! Do you at least like the midwife? Depending on if you can rely on them or not, it might be worth it to look for a different OB or midwife a little further away just to avoid further frustration. I’m sorry that’s going on and I hope you get a picture of your sweet baby soon!
we go out of town today and I am not looking forward to a 4 hour drive.... ugh
ETA here is a link to the one I got. There are other styles though

@MichelleAG05 maybe a maternity rash guard? They’re tighter fitting and go up high enough to protect you from grabby toddlers.
@lindsayleigh1989 ick that sounds terrible. Good luck!
@chicxulub wow! That sounds so frustrating, I’d maybe start looking into switching practices if that’s how they’re going to treat you. I hope you’re able to have a better birth experience this time, are you going for a VBAC? A lot of places actually don’t do an early u/s, some ladies don’t get one until the anatomy scan- not that that makes you feel any better- sorry! I’m sure all is great, I hope you get one soon!
So very random, but hypothetically, if you found a $300 birthday check in the bottom of your purse that you forgot to cash from 2 months ago, and you decided NOT to use it for bills/savings/anything practical, and you were 15 weeks pregnant, what might you decide to do with it? I NEVER ever ever treat myself, so I just might...but I need ideas!
a massage
good skin care items
maternity clothes
a lot of books
a haircut/color
@zande2016 I would def spend it on something you weren't gonna be able to do because of cost. I like @hillbillywife suggestion of a lot of books! lol.
@gspmom21 I am so sorry for your family's loss! Good luck with the busy house!
AFM, someone just interrupted some "alone time" between me and DH and had the wrong house. I only answered because naptime and the dogs would have lost their shit and woken up DS. They told me the people they were looking for said, "Big white farmhouse." Um, I live in rural VT. I think there are 10 of those within .25 miles. Worst. Instructions. Ever. Also I don't live in a farmhouse.
massage and pedi
trip to Sephora for a few things
dinner/movie out with DH
Me (32) Dx PCOS, DH (32) SA = Normal/mild morph issues

you ladies are absolutely right. I’m probably going to call my insurance and see if they can make an exception for this one place I want to go and if they will pay for it. Doesn’t hurt to ask. It’s a birthing center but Tricare is known to do very minimum. Will update.
DH and i work in the same office at least 3 days a week but we rarely carpool. Why because for some crazy reason he insists that he needs to be there 30 min le before me. Of course he wakes up later than me and rushes out while i have to get ready with DS and take him to our he sitter. I refuse to leave that early because i somehow would still end up waking up even earlier and get DS squared out. To top it off DH leaves the office early but doesn’t want to pick up DS because (his excuse) “has to run the dog and clean house”. We all know he won’t clean. But regardless i can’t catch a break with not handling DS before and after work when he clearly can work it in his schedule. Plus we are wasting money driving two cars to the same place with 30 min difference!!!!
AFM, and TW this is kind of gross, but I am such an idiot. Let me preface by saying I am the biggest weiner when it comes to cold weather. Anyway, I mentioned a few weeks ago that I got a nasty infection on my buttcheek where I was taking daily progesterone shots and had to get it cut out and started wound care for a 1x1 hole in my butt cheek (gross).
Anyway, it actually was healing well and faster than expected... HOWEVER, when this cold snap hit and everything froze over, I started using my car's heated seats. Apparently it's a bad idea to apply direct heat to a healing wound (it took me 2 weeks to figure out), so now I have this painful blister on the spot and just have to wait for it to resolve on its own.
Why can't all of this crap be overrrr? I just want to take a warm bath but I shot myself in the foot on the healing process
Want to know why this preggo is crying today? DD's teachers told me today that she plays with the baby dolls all day - feeding them, changing their clothes, giving them a bottle, etc. So sweet!!
@wildtot what a load of crap! It sounds like he could definitely make a little more of an effort to help you with your son. “Run the dog and clean house” my ass, I’ve heard that one before lol.
@wildtot that is crazy town. Men are such a-holes.
I also have a rant about DH. Maybe its preggo, anxiety ridden me, but I feel so underappreciated and this spiral of feelings started off when...wait for it...DH ate my avocado oil himalayan salt chips. He took the bag downstairs and I noticed it was gone and I asked him about it he said, "I thought you were done with them?" NO I WAS NOT. I just don't eat the whole bag of chips at once! We would usually have extra money in the budget and I could just buy more but we are having his fam over tomorrow night so like, half of our freakin' budget went to wine and shit and I can't just go buy more. So I tell him that I have to go without a snack now til Thursday and he's like, "Oh, so how are your golden oreo cookies? How much did you spend on those two things? ANd how much did you spend on me?" OH ARE WE GOING TO COMPARE?! You eat all of your snacks that I bougth you yesterday yesterday and move onto mine and its the fact that I spent a dollar more on food for myself that you bring up? And I'm already stressed today because everyone has just been a hot mess and I feel like he doesn't even see my stress and frustration about the chips as valid. Its just a microcosm of the whole idea that everyone gets everything I have and I get nothing for myself. I bend over backwards for him to have stuff for himself that he doesn't have to share, and time to himself so he's not stressed, and I get my effin' chips eaten and a huge amount of attitude when I try and leave the house for any amount of time alone. I JUST FEE LIKE NO ONE KNOWS OR APPRECIATES WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH. And it sucks. SIGH.
I just went in the bedroom and cried for 5 minutes and no one even noticed I was gone or that I had been crying when I got back. Sorry for the book guys! Just had to vent.
I keep telling DH that he needs to step it up because there will come a time when i physically won’t be able to do so much. He needs to establish a routine with him because right now he puts up a fight when i don’t do certain things with him.
to top it off i forgot to pay the sitter for 4 days (only payed 3). Fail! My brain sucks today.
I about strangled him. Anyone else would let him find something to feed the kids on his own, but I figured since he worked all day and was leaving work early and unfinished that I could help him out by taking one job off his plate. I guess I was wrong.
The funny thing is. Last time I went out and didn’t have dinner made, he was mad about that too. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t.
FWIW, I find it way harder to “parent” my nieces than my own kid. When it’s yours, you learn a little better what’s effective. It’s also hard to jump into the results of someone else’s parenting style.
