Weekday randoms 2/7-2/8

Started selfishly so I could post.... 

sorry I can’t gif

And so it begins....today the first casual acquaintance tried to touch my stomach.  Luckily my boss was there and said “don’t touch her!” right as she went in.  Boss blamed it on flu season but I know she was just looking out for me.  

Funny thing is I’ve been working with DD (2yo) on boundaries.  She has a tendency to just run up and hug her friends at school.  Today as we were leaving she asked me if she could give her friend max a hug.  I responded “if he wants one”.  She walked up said, “want a hug max?” and waited for him to say yes before she hugged him.  Yep, that’s right.  My 2 yo officially has more respect for people’s space than my 50+ yo coworker....

@tarheelgirl8 That's super cute of your daughter!

My random: A friend who I used to be super close with, who we've drifted the last couple years, texted me yesterday asking about my pregnancy and how I was doing. So we were chit chatting and I asked if she planned on having another, and she told me she just actually found out she's pregnant with #2. We chatted some more and now we have plans to hang out on Saturday. Makes me happy 1) to have another friend that is pregnant (I don't know anyone else who is pregnant right now) and 2) to know that our friendship is one of those that can drift for a while but I know will still be the same when we hang out.

@tarheelgirl8 your my mom hero today, way to go! 

I recently found out that my sister and her girlfriend plan on moving out here next year! That would be awesome since we have not friends or family here and she’s really good with DS. They want to be able to get married and have kids soon and be have them be close to their cousins. Hopefully it works out!

Ugh i keep misspelling names from my leadership team. Pregnancy brain sucks!

Also exciting for my next appointment because i think we get to schedule my c section! No way I’m delivering on Friday the 13th! Lol

edited because i had a rush of random thoughts

@tarheelgirl8 Oh my goodness I love your boss!! 

acunamatada

@tarheelgirl8 what an awesome boss! 

@rachelsogo I have a couple of really good friends where we drift in and out of each others lives but when we’re together it’s like no time has passed. Such a good feeling

zande2016

I'm due on Friday the 13th too @wildtot, I am really hoping I don't go into labor that day! I'm not that superstitious but still....no thank you lol. 

acunamatada

I have my anatomy scan tomorrow and I’m not as excited as I thought I would be. I won’t find out the sex for two more weeks at our gender reveal...
But you better bet I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for genitals on that u/s. And now I sound like a creep. 

zombiehoohaa

Been a bit MIA.. was taken to the ER last Monday night for being lightheaded, vomiting, and weakness (couldn't even stand up). 9 hours later, 3 iv fluid bags, 2 bags of zofran, and a nice strong drip of tylenol and I was released with a diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis (severe stomach flu). Put on bed rest for 2 days. I'm feeling better, however, FFS, give me a break already! Now being back to work, I am literally staying away from everyone here. I cannot and do not want to get sick again. It was HORRIBLE!!!

stillcozy

@zombiehoohaa oh my gosh!! how awful! so sorry you have been dealing with that!

wildtot

@zombiehoohaa glad your feeling better! Sounds terrible!

hillbillywife

Oh my goodness @zombiehoohaa I’m glad you’re better! It only takes one bad sickness while you’re pregnant to become a hermit lol. A big old nope on germ sharing lol. 

paytonpedro

@zombiehoohaa So glad you’re feeling better! That sounds terrible!! DH wanted me to take DS out of the house and to walk around the mall. Not during flu season. No thanks. 

flockofmoosen3

@wildtot and @zande2016 I was born on Friday 13th and I have always loved it. I call it my lucky day!

flockofmoosen3

I hate TB. It ate my post. 

Feeling small for being 16/17 weeks and feeling strangely about that. Hoping things are okay.

DS is sick with a cold but turns 2 this week and we will attempt bowling next week with out mom's club group. Should be loads of adorableness! Also, chocolate cake!! 

stillcozy

@flockofmoosen3 I think i saw others are feeling smaller in subsequent pregnancies too so you aren't alone! hope that is reassuring! also two year olds bowling sound adorable!!! 

stillcozy

@acunamatada hope the scan goes well my friend!! 

4deep

@zombiehoohaa goodness! That sucks! So glad you’re feeling better now. Virtual hugs.... which are the best kind bc they don’t spread germs 

stillcozy

I am panicking some I just started to have sorm bad cramps low and feel as though they go around to my butt but definitely on the front. 

wildtot

@lindsayleigh1989 hope they went away! Chug that water and rest if you can. Could be those BH we were talking about. 

zande2016

@flockofmoosen3 come to think of it, my sister was born on Friday the 13th as well. 

@lindsayleigh1989 drink lots of water and lie on your side...i hope it goes away!

@zombiehoohaa that sounds awful! 

I watched an an episode of call the midwife last night where something sad happened but the ending was happy (don't want to give spoilers), and I cried my eyes out. Like sobbing uncontrollably. Then I felt really depressed when it was over and went to bed at 8:30. Dam hormones. 

hillbillywife

@lindsayleigh1989 hope the cramping stopped! 

@zande2016 so much ugly crying involved in call then midwife lol.

I’m due on the 13th too and all superstitions aside a Friday baby day would be terribly convenient for us lol. Spend the weekend in the hospital and then DH gets to go back to work on Monday lol. 

stillcozy

@wildtot I think that is exactly what it was! i chugged water and went to bed as you all suggested and they went away yay!! 

wildtot

@lindsayleigh1989 glad to hear! I hate BH.

morethanamama

@zombiehoohaa I have been thinking of you, I'm so glad you are better! What a nightmare! I cannot wait for this damn flu season to be OVER.
@lindsayleigh1989 glad to hear the bh are over. Sounds like something that will completely freak me out when it happens.
@zande2016 which season are you at?? I'm at season 3...lots of crying but totally loving the show!

zande2016

@kissableviv I think season 2. I love it too, even got my husband into it a little bit last night haha

4deep

I’m going to see Fifty Shades Freed tonight with some girlfriends. Yes it’s stupid. But I don’t even care. I get to sit in a recliner without kids and order yummy food. I’m excited 

michelle_bird

That sounds fun, @4deep!

I've got two randoms.  First, DD's teacher told me this morning that "give her a week and she will be ready for panties".  I'm not even sure I'm ready for panties!!!  Yet another thing to add to the growing list of things to buy this month.

Remember in school when you had to write a paper and you had zero motivation to do it?  I need to write a 1-2 page document to send to Marketing.  I've never done one before and it's a little outside my comfort zone.  I'm procrastinating SO bad.  It's literally the only thing I need to get done today.  Sigh.

wildtot

@MichelleAG05 it sounds weird to say “panties” and associate to a little girl. Maybe just me... 
good luck with that paper! 

acunamatada

@wildtot I’ve been calling DS underwear “panties” and DH cringes every time and tells me they’re not panties. Apparently it’s a girly word? Lol 

Sarafuss

@wildtot I feel the same way about the word panties.  Although I just hate the word in general.  I call my own underwear, underwear lol.  

cseley321

@acunamatada I used to call my husband's boxers his "panties" just to passive aggressively piss him off. I really got under his skin bad one time and he sincerely asked me to stop, so I did...... panties lol

morethanamama

@cseley321 I called my husband's "briefs" and he jumped at me...I'm like, whatever, you get the idea!

hillbillywife

We just call them undies at our house lol. 

morethanamama

I'm ragey this morning and I realize it's not the end of the world but I just had a good cry.

DH, like EVERY.SINGLE.DAMN.MORNING in the past 2-3 months takes his good old time getting ready. I'm up and running at 7:45, and need to log on into work at 8:30. We need to buy tickets to visit is his parents as we moved up the trip to the 23rd, and he knows it. I'm making my own breakfast, logging into work, doing a million flight searches and come up with the best option. 

Then, my idiot co-worker notifies me of an issue. An issue caused-once again- by the fact he forgot about something. So now we have an incomplete project from DECEMBER and I'm scrambling trying to figure out what happened, while still looking for flights. DH just comes downstairs at 8:45 and proceeds to WATCH ME as I lose my mind going back and forth between computers. I told him this shit has to change and that he is so very helpful with so many things but that he is truly lacking with our morning routine which is when I need the most help. I'm so pissed! And my coworker proceeded to stick his nose into my projects forgetting I'm in a different time zone and I just started working. Everyone take a chill pill!

wildtot

Yeah i feel like panties is more of an adult reference (or for your husband lol) but i say undies too. When i hear panties i think of VS. 

@kissableviv hope your day gets better! Yeah DH doesn’t get why i get mad a him for watching me scramble around- like dude you can help you know!

paytonpedro

@4deep I’m jealous!! I’m really hoping DH takes me for Valentine’s Day! He’ll probably just waits until it comes out on Blu-ray though. Lol

morethanamama

@4deep I so wanna go , I need to find a GF that would go with me. DH said no because he didn't like the first one... whatever. I read all the books and I know they are silly and that the movies are so bad but I don't care!

zombiehoohaa

@4deep I'm taking my mom and sister to a special screening tonight through Pure Romance. We are totally making it a Girls' night out. My mom got dressed up for work today, she's so cute! Cannot wait to see this movie! Hoping it's better than the other 2...

paytonpedro

Trying to get DH to talk names has been impossible because he’s not convinced it’s a boy, despite the sneak peek bloodwork and a pretty clear potty shot at 13 weeks. He’s still holding out for the anatomy scan next week. Today, I finally told him I want to pick a name and that DS was named by this point. I’ve been throwing names at him and he didn’t like one because it was his grandfathers name and his estranged fathers middle name. It’s my top name and he finally told me today that he’s starting to like it!! It just makes me so happy. I have no association to the name, I just like it because it’s a classic!!

krystlerr

@4deep @zombiehoohaa  that sounds like so much fun! 

@kissableviv I really want to see it too! I hate admitting it but I did read all the books and have seen all the movies after making fun of it when it was so popular. I needed to see what it was about! Haha
