Put em' here ladies!
Re: Weekend Randoms 5/12-5/13
I don't care if you were up til midnight watching the Caps win, I was up til midnight throwing up so we are coming from a similar place. WAKE UP AND HELP.
But also, you were sick last night? I missed that! That sucks!
Anyone else been waking up with pain from their ears getting bent at night? I sleep on my sides like I’m supposed to, and I get all settled and comfy to fall asleep. But then I wake up and I guess my movement at night is causing my ears to get folded over, which is really painful in the morning. Can my sore ears turn into cauliflower ears? I really don’t know how to prevent myself from moving my head in my sleep.
My DH very rarely gets up with DS, so when he does I just lay there a little longer. It’s happened like twice this year... and honestly I’m hoping it happens tomorrow.
My random, DS is SOOOOOO close to being potty trained!! It’s so crazy how one day he was just ready. In the past 3 weeks, he’s pooped in his pull up once. We went to target the other day in cotton undies, and he’s been napping in cotton undies!! I still put a diaper on him at night but he’s been waking up dry and peeing on the potty when he gets up!! I really don’t mean to brag but I’m just so excited! My secrets- I keep him pantsless and give him popsicles when he poops!
@TalesOfASocialIntrovert I would be so annoyed about the two beers thing, unless he was just waiting for the food in that time, I guess.
@emsnedds I have the sore ears sometimes and it happened before I got pregnant too, I have no idea why it happens but I hate it.
+1 for sore ears but i don’t know why. I think it’s because I’m just not use to sleeping on them this much.
over the past week there has been some work done to the drain pipes because of the new homes being built across the street. It took them three days to finish and each day i came home to some chemical smell in the house. DH called on the first day to ask if it was normal they said it’s fine. Well there was no work done yesterday and the smell is still coming in and giving me a headache. I might have to push DH again to call and complain. I could smell it all night and it’s still to cold to open windows at night.
Im excited because we have a date night tonight! I need to sleep since I worked all night and then by time I get up and get ready my dad should be here to watch DD. What a wonderful day! I do miss her since being back on nights though.
normally I will still see her daily but with me getting the weekend off I had to work during the week. I dropped her off at daycare Thursday morning and won’t see her until I wake up today. I had to leave before they got home Thursday . Friday morning she was at daycare by time I got home ( to sleep ) and then I was gone again Friday before they got home. If I stay at my close hospital I have an extra hour and can catch them before I leave but when I go to one of my further hospitals it’s an hour commute.

@SmashJam I hope you’re feeling better!
@noideawhatshesdoing hope you have a great shower!
@paytonpedro teach me your ways
We are about to go to an 8 hour birth class through the hospital and I didn't sleep much due to too many thoughts in my brain so I'm not very excited...trying to focus on tomorrow's brunch at one of my favorite places.
You ladies feel better, I was right there with you last week and with the puking and the pooping there's seriously no relief in those moments:(
@wildtot I woke up with the same problem and had to change my undies before I left for work, and then put a pantyliner on. Im also pretty sure some of it is mucus plug, not that I’m super concerned because I know it regenerates. I almost thought I peed myself at first though. Really hoping it’s just normal, and not a yeast infection or something. On another note, I’m pretty sure my DH doesn’t remember a second from the 9 months I was pregnant last time. When I tell him my hips or back hurt he asks why... every night I have a tough time, he acknowledges it and asks why... when I tell him I’m having BH or even real contractions, he asks what the dr said- even though we’ve been though this and he knows the answer... when I tell him I just need to lay down, he makes me feel lazy... when I tell him bending over hurts/is uncomfortable, he asks why.... BECAUSE IM PREGNANT. Lol. So I’m pretty sure he was replaced by a look a like the last go around.
Edit to add- he also has a pregnancy book for men with all the answers that he’s never even bothered to open, last time or this time.
We we went out earlier to get a gift for my mom and came across the most perfect framed photo in a local art gallery. It’s a wild pony from asseteague, my moms favorite vacation spot, and I couldn’t pass it up. More than I wanted to spend but she watches my son, cleans my house and basically keeps me sane with all her help so she deserves it. I think she’ll cry when she opens it (lots of sentimental connection to that place and she loves horses). We also went to target and I was so annoyed that we couldn’t find any sandals in my son’s size, and there was 3x more selection for girls than boys. Grrr. Later tonight we’re goig to my sister’s for dinner/mother’s Day celebration so I don’t have to cook, yay!
For those struggling on potty training, the 3 day method worked like a charm for us!
In laws are here and I am being forced to nest haha now that I have started it is like I am a tornado my upstairs is destroyed. and I hate that i am currently in such nursery limbo. I can't hang decor until we paint. I need to move the crib to our room and put the toddler bed in what will be the nursery but is still dd's room for now to help her transition to the bed. I just want both rooms done but ugh no where near close! I also went through and organized all my freebie bags haha I think I have a problem so many of them lol whoops! that's what happens when theh were giving them out like candy at babies r us once they announced the closure.
My ears have been fine but I’ve been sleeping weird on my arms and they fall asleep every night. That’s irritating.
I wish my DD was completely potty trained @paytonpedro @acunamatada she’s been struggling with constipations so I don’t know if we’ll be very successful until that’s taken care of. It’s frustrating though because she’s definitely ready. I also don’t like cleaning wet farts out of underpants.
after 20 mins of him tearing the house apart and stressing everyone out I went down there (with him telling me it was pointless beciase he just looked down there). Stepped right in the puddle of toilet water with my bare feet because the puddle was before the light switch and I couldn’t see. So bye bye freshly pedicured feet. Then as I turn the light on I see that the bassinet is literally sitting in the puddle of water. Wtf, he told me everything was safe?? Then I immediately found his stupid work phone after 20 seconds of looking. I’m mostly upset becuase we can’t afford To buy new baby stuff and I’m imagining putting our newborn baby into a moldy stinky bassinet. My step dad is on his way over to fix our leak and now my poor mom has To go to dinner without him for her own mother’s day celebration and I feel awful about that. And I have heartburn and there’s no water in the car to take my Zyrtec. H has the nerve to tell me “you know, you don’t have to be so miserable.” I wish I could give him my pregnancy symptoms and see if he lasted one freaking hour.
So my step dad called my mom and told her things are quite a mess and we can’t go home until he gets it cleaned up. Like they won’t let us leave until he says it’s okay. We’re a good 45 min drive from home, it’s aleady over an hour after my son’s bedtime, and it doesn’t sound like we’re gettijg home anytime soon. I’m anxious about what the heck is going on at my house and just waiting for my son to start melting down/nervous about how he’ll be for mother’s day tomorrow when he’ll be cranky from being up past his bedtime. And I just had a really painful Braxton Hicks. when it’s painful is it not BH anymore? I think I’m just over stressed.
he’s so gosh darn useless.
@kbernal2021 beautiful picture! You look great!
As for my ears being in pain when I wake up, I’m thinking it’s just one more reason (along with my SPD) why I might start sleeping in the recliner from now on. Anyone else given up on sleeping on their sides in their bed?
I also hope that you’re Mother’s Day is still relaxing. You deserve it, mama!
@lindsayleigh1989 boo to your H (and your H @paytonpedro - way to ruin a good thing!) My H is going to get me a massage too. I’ve never had one before so I’m excited. I feel like I have a love hate relationship with holidays. Obviously I love getting gifts for everyone and getting gifts. DH complains about “having” to get me something every time. It makes me not want anything if it’s going to be such a chore. But then I’d be really bummed that he didn’t do anything either. I feel like it’s a lose-lose. A massage and pedicure will be really nice though! I feel like my H can’t remember if I’ve ever commented on something I’d like to have so giving him ideas is more worthwhile.
@lindsayleigh1989 no plans here either. I have to run a few errands and probably go alone for once but that’s all. DH kept offering to cook a special dinner but i keep say no. Him cooking is not that special since he does most of it. Hope you enjoy your mini pampering session!
