I wonder if I can get my hubby to clean the bathroom...It needs it so bad. I use a pretty natural cleaner, so the chemicals don't worry me. It's more the bending over the tub and the effort. With a 6yo boy and a husband that floor can get gross...
Apparently, I was breathing really heavily and let out a whimper before I flipped over to get comfortable. I don't remember my dream anymore, but remember my husband startling me by asking if I was okay. What a sweetie.
@sarahzett The dreams have been way crazier this time around! Like stuff I would never imagine.
DD graciously has given me influenza a (thanks daycare). Being sick is one thing, but being sick and not being able to take anything useful is complete crap. Thankfully the doc said it’s safe to take tamiflu, but I’m off work until Thursday.
WTF. I decided to enjoy Jimmy Johns for lunch. And of course now I feel like crap. I felt bad earlier today anyway, but now I just feel worse. It's probably not even the lunch. It's probably my lack of sleep the last two days and just general discomfort, but now it's in my head.
Babies R Us. This is 100% selfish. You're going out of business, say you want to close the stores in 30 to 60 days however, you only have everything marked down to 10% off, which is still more expensive than regular price Target/Walmart/Amazon. I've been checking weekly and the discount hasn't budged. I want deals!
Also, headaches. I'm at like 3 weeks of headaches of varying degrees and I'm tired of it. Thank you @sliztee! My sleep position might be the problem. I've been so stuffy I've been trying to sleep with my head elevated and now I think this is causing the headaches.
@jemmerjams I'm the same way! I've always been a side sleeper but for some reason while pregnant I keep waking up on my back. Same thing happened when I was pregnant with DD.
I’m 14 weeks tomorrow and getting tired of people asking when I’m going to “look” pregnant... I feel a little pudgy compared to normal but I don’t think it’s really visible... plus I’m completely content staying teeny as long as I can. (For reference im only 5’1 and 104 normally... I’m about 106 currently and pretty sure those 2 lbs went to my chest lol)
@sarahzett - Nitrile gloves and a well ventilated area. I don’t worry about occasionally cleaning, I just keep it off my skin, and make sure I have plenty of fresh air.
Nitrile gloves are cheap, and I’ve been using them for years for pretty much everything except dishes. Buy them on Amazon, not from your local pharmacy or home improvement store. The quality is better and the gloves are cheaper (not to mention size and color options).
@knottieamusements and everyone else! Thank you for articulating this feeling and to all who co-sign it. I also feel the loss of independence.
Husband ended up going out of town for work unexpectedly and I had a 17 person Seder to cook, clean, And rearrange furniture by myself. And I did it. But also freaked out about moving and lifting so much and later got chewed out by friends for not calling anyone in to help. I have always been the rugby player/ jar opener/ mover/ builder of my partnership and friends. It hurts my sense of self to have to give that up.
I'm having a super hard time keeping up with all the posts here! But on the subject of dreams I had a dream two children were hung on a tree at my old apt (tree doesn't exist in real life) and one of them was burned to a crisp???? Then some weird dream about my cat storing baby squirrels in her pouch... And it's selfish of me but DH has flu A which means he's not up for catering to meeee whaaaah.
@nayyohme That dream about the kids sounds terrible! Last week I dreamed that my family killed this girl and all acted like it was no big deal. They left me to hide the body!
@nayyohme that's what I was thinking when I woke up! I had crazy dreams with DS but they weren't violent or scary at all.
I once dreamt that I had my baby and DS was born as a golden retriever puppy. My whole family was there and they kept telling me I was crazy and that it was normal. That's the kind of weird pregnancy dreams I'm used to.
Cannot stop barfing today. I’m just over 11 weeks (finally got my due date adjusted after my dating u/s a month ago) and morning sickness is getting way worse - not better! Really hoping it doesn’t stay the whole pregnancy the way it did with my first...
On the upside I got to hear baby’s heartbeat at our apt today (and my midwife wasn’t super optimistic she’d find it this early) so I’m trying to focus on that and remember that barfing is a good sign.
Toys R Us keeps sending me survey emails asking me to take their survey to be entered to win a $500 gift card. They’re a mess over there. I heard BRU did mark up things a week or so before sales started and now everything is back down to regular price.
MH just texted me to tell me he may be in Alberta, CA for a week in May. Not a big deal, except I asked him what he was going for and that turns out to be a really big deal for me. If he goes, he’s going to inspect ammonia refrigeration units. He has done this before and a few days after he got back last time he found out about a guy that died doing the exact same thing he was doing. Apparently this perfectly safe inspection job isn’t so perfectly safe. At the time, he agreed that he didn’t want to risk that again and he’d turn it down if they ever had another one come up... and now he’s telling me that he might go. I’m all like “do you not remember that if your company had gotten his site and is company had gotten your site YOU would be the guy that died?” He almost died when I was 4-5 months pregnant last time and I’ll be 4-5 months pregnant when (if) he goes to this job, so maybe I’m being extra paranoid, but I am not happy about this at all.
@purplegoldfish2 ugh hopefully you guys can talk this one out and he still has a chance to pass on it. That would be a hard no for me. Fx all goes well and that maybe he can get out of this! You do NOT need that stress or risk

OoO that can be my new Monday BF - how The Bump shows responses. I hate that when you reply to someone, it doesn't post indented under their post haha. I am constantly reading responses thinking, "wait, what is this about?" I feel like a detective when I figure it out lmao
And the weird dreams are just so bizarre! I had one Drew Barrymore ran me over with a car while I was pregnant. I literally haven't seen anything Drew Barrymore is in or heard about her or anything. But there she was, running my ass over lol

@chopchop25 Thanks! There’s a chance his company won’t even get the job (which is what I’m hoping for). If they do, I’m not sure how much he’s agreed to already.
I wonder if Babies R Us will do one of those just kidding we are not going out of business things. Like thoses stores that are always “closing.” I heard a rumor Buy Buy Baby might Buy them out.
So this girl I know from HS just posted on Facebook a status with links to her FOUR baby registries as well as how people could send her money. Uhhh???? Granted I don’t know her current situation, but it rubs me wrong.
@cdepperschmidt I thought that too in the beginning as I also heard about bbb buying them out but a few by me have already closed and the ones that are still open are definitely sparse.
I have to agree about their "sales." We went shopping there and all the 10% - 20% off prices were still more expensive than other places. I was really hoping to get some good deals.
@knottieamusements Thank you! She’s a tough cookie, and this will be her second set of stitches (busted open her eyebrow when she was 2). Neither of her brothers have ever had anything.
@jennybean80 Sorry to hear your daughter hurt herself! I did that when I was 3 or 4 body slamming my sister and nailed my chin on a wooden rocking chair...never did that again!
I agree with everyone about the feeling of losing independence. However, I have found that it is pretty liberating having DH do a lot of the chores and just letting him do everything his way. I’ve always wanted things done a certain way and I’ve realized the last few weeks that life is so much easier when I don’t micromanage him and let him do things his way. I think this will be a very useful skill and mindset to have when baby arrives!
Well update...I believe I identified the strong perfume smell as Dove cucumber melon deodorant (or perhaps a body spray? Surely it can't be from deodorant...). Gave me a migraine and I had to leave work early. Hoping the heating pad on the neck trick gets rid of it because Tylenol sure as hell won't.
Dh and I cleaned the house this last weekend. I startrd cleaning the bathroom and paused going I probably shouldn't be doing this. I didn't clean as well as normal and when I was done I walked kit and commented on probably shouldn't have cleaned the bathroom. Dh went why? Uh because the cleaning supplies are bad for baby. He didn't say anything after that. Oy. He can be really good and looks out for me but sometimes he can be completely oblivious.
Why have the Bump gods forsaken us?!
First the October 2018 Moms button and NOW when I click a thread it doesn’t take me back to where I left off?!
This has gone too far.
