I guess some people do the fourth celebrations this weekend right? I've already been doing this though...
Re: Weekend Randoms 6/30-7/1
Only plans this weekend are a cookout with my SIL's parents who are visiting from OH, which is today, and staying cool however possible. We may go to the lake beach and stay in the water all day on Sunday since we have no AC in the house.
A wedding and wedding shower this weekend! I hope the activity gets things moving along. I am so excited to meet this cutie pie! All the baby pictures from the birth announcements are so adorable, it's making me feel so ready!
Eta just found out that my college had a fatal incident in the department i use to work in. Idk if the victim was a student worker (like i was) or a permanent employee (which i still know most). It’s so sad. The details are so basic right now it’s hard to follow what happened. Not to mention there is also a high school located on campus near where it happened.
We have central air but somethings up with our ac so it can’t be set lower than 73 which compared 90 is pretty cool but I’d like a nice 65 right about now.
Speaking of hot weather... hello from Houston!
Last night I put my daughter to bed.. sometimes she will get up to grab a toy or something and then run back to her bed. Well, last night she lost her footing and fell forward into her bedrail and got a big bruise and cut across her forehead
On top of all of this, my husband stayed up literally all night playing video games. At 6 am he went in to check on her (which was unnecessary... I was checking on her until midnight and she was fine). Anyway he woke her up going into her room, then tries to take her to our bed knowing full well she won't sleep... so he goes to sleep and I am stuck watching her at 6 am while he is going to sleep all day.... sorry for the rant, I am just so damn tired
@cseley321 ugh I’d be pissed! I suggest making a lot of noise until he gets up.
We leave to New Orleans on Wednesday and there are thing I still need to get before the trip. But my energy level is in the tank.
Nice to see all the babies being born.
@zande2016 if your acupuncture works I'll splurge and do it for myself. I'm starting induction methods early I just want to go on my own darn it!
@cseley321 DH used to stay up all night playing video games also but he's thankfully gotten away from that. It used to be an almost every weekend occurence and then I'd be up all day with DS, and not be a happy camper! I hope he doesn't sleep the day away!
@acunamatada a cupcake truck sounds amazing!
Went to the dump this morning to take trash and recycling and came back with two boxes of kids books someone had left there. One of the ladies always thinks of us and directs us to the good shit. DH spent all morning installing curtain rods and putting up curtains in the upstairs in hopes that it would help with the heat, its nice to thvae the project done!
Also, my bro called demanding money from me. I still have a small amount from his inheritance, and I dole it out when he needs it for good reason since he's an addict. Turns out, his wife kicked him out (woot!) and he's flipping out about it, so he called for money and said he needed it "no questions asked." I told him he doesn't get the money for walking out on his family so he can be a full time drunk and as far as I was concerned, the money is for the family he walked out on and he can take me to court over that if he wanted, and hung up. He sent a bunch of text threats and called 100 times and finally passed out (this started at 9 and he was hammered already). Good times!
Looking forward to a massive creemee and a cookout at my MIL's this afternoon in minimal clothes. DH is being weird about his body and won't sit around shirtless in his boxers while at home and i'm like, literally the only way i can survive is in a bralette and these gauze shorts i have that i should never wear in public so I'm not sure how you are still wearing clothing. Obviously, I have to put clothes on for the cookout but while we are home, nope.
@cseley321 OMG, my husband was also up playing video games and watching a video game tournament for Fortnite. Finally, I just said watch this in bed so we can at least go to bed together. I'm letting him get all the gaming out of the way now because when baby comes that will not be the case!
@SmashJam I love good finds like that and can never resist children's books on the cheap.
@zande2016 Can't wait to hear if the acupuncture stirs anything up! FX!
My mom treated me to a pedicure yesterday and hair cut today. I feel spoiled! It was nice to get some pampering before a busy weekend of wedding stuff for friends. Currently sweating through the dress I plan on wearing to the wedding as I sit in the dark waiting for the AC to do its job.
Also it's funny to always have meals at the table including lunch, when we usually just munch on whatever from wherever we are. Anyways, all good things and we are ready! Snoo bassinet arrived and it's assembled, we got quarters for laundry and did 3 loads, groceries are bought, car trunk organized, car seat caddy and stroller are ready. We just need this baby to make progress this week! Mom and I are heading to the mall while I let DH relax since he's been doing stuff all day too (of course trying to impress my mom as being a saint...I'll give him a pass...)

@zande2016 good luck at acupuncture please report back!
@cseley321 you know my husband would easily do that too but he's been too tired, lol, sorry he was up so late and woke DD up!
I might place an online order at Costco because I can't bring myself to go there and I would even feel bad sending DH.
@kbernal2021 I'm glad you're getting the issue fixed and that you're elated as you should be
Not fun for those dealing with the heat it's 75 outside but my room is more like 78...however with the fan it's not too bad and for now I'm only using AC when it's unbearable.
Did I mention my mom keeps saying it's cold in California...lol I guess it's 90f and humid in Italy right now
@comealongponds Good read!
It is so hot here too ugh. also PP pooping not fun at all. Take all the stool softeners you can. Sorry for not being around more. I am definitely in survival mode at the moment so exhausted. I miss being able to nap whenever baby does but a toddler makes that pretty much impossible.
Well I am completely beyond exhausted. Went to Costco to stock up on all the things. Sucked the energy right out of me. For those who asked, so far it doesn’t feel like the acupuncture did a dam thing. I have been cramping a ton today but that was already happening before I went. We’ll see what tomorrow brings and I may go back for a second session on Thursday. It was really nice and relaxing at least.
i hope everyone survived the heat today. Where I am tomorrow is going to be worse, heat index could go up to 110. Yikes. And my in laws are coming over tomorrow. They invited themselves. Well first they asked us to go there and my H said no, zande is 9 months pregnant, she’s not going to want to travel 2 hours. So they said fine we’re coming there. Okay FYI if you invite yourself to someone’s house, especially if they’re really pregnant, at least offer to bring dinner. Nope, no such luck, so my H has to grill tomorrow in the heat because I’m not cooking for their asses. Sorry, I really am not a fan of my MIL in case you couldn’t tell lol.
I found my old posts on the TCF forums and I lost my mucus plug about 6 days before DS was born, and I was 4cm and 70% effaced at my appt the day before he was born. This Thursday is my 38 week appointment and I wonder how I'll compare.
Anyway, on the way home he was all like, I'm gonna stay up late and do my computer projects. I'm not drinking anymore beer, haha, don't worry. I was like hey, you should go to bed and do the projects tomorrow, DS and I will make sure to give you the time you need. By the time we got home he was so tired and agreed he was gonna go to bed.
I get out from taking DS down for bed and he has a beer open. Then he doesn't come to bed til 2am! And he's snoring all night and won't roll over and just keeps swatting my arm away when I tell him to roll over so that means he's drunk. I come out this morning he drank three more beers last night, INCLUDING ONE FROM MY STASH. WTF?! You cannot drink my stash beer when you run out. He probably wasn't hammered, but he certainly wasn't driving me to the hospital and he wouldn't even wake up to roll over if I had to go in I would have had to take DS because he wasn't waking up.
After all my bro's shit this is not the weekend to be drinking too much beer. Overall, he's been fab this has been one slip but I don't understand how i can say, "don't drink enough to be drunk" and you do it anyway. Like either you can't stop or you are refusing and both suck. AND its gonna be 99 degrees today and I agreed to get DS out of the house so he could do projects and I'm gonna be doing it on minimal sleep because of him. WTF.
@SmashJam I’m sorry, I’d be really annoyed too. My H only really drinks socially when we’re at a party or out with friends, but in certain social situations when he does drink, he doesn’t seem to know when to stop and I have to tell him “you need to eat something and drink water”. Which of course then he thinks I’m nagging him and trying to control him so he “rebels” by drinking more. But anyway just wanted to say I can relate, and I hope as you get closer to your due date he stays sober so he can drive to the hospital. Can you maybe take your son to an indoor activity with AC today? I’ve heard the heat is going to be dangerous today!
+1 Can't believe it's really July! So nice to get a tease from all the babies who made their June appearance and now that it's July, wooohoooooooo!
