Thanks so much for the commiseration and support guys, and thanks for checking in today @morgantu! My DD and husband are great now, thankfully, and I'm doing better, but still on the mend. I went to work today, which I think was a mistake, but it's over now, so hopefully after another night's sleep I'll be okay. Just tough because I'm having trouble eating still and my body is not coping with that well (I nearly fainted at 7-11 getting Gatorade yesterday, which was embarrassing and scary.) Hoping I can eat more tomorrow. Called my OB though and she said I'm good as long as I can keep liquids down, a few bites here and there, and don't have a fever. The toughest part has been my DD waking up in the night 2x each, last night and the night before, and refusing to let my husband get her back to bed, so I am sleep deprived in addition to recovering. The week cannot be over fast enough.
@PensiveCrayon Omg sounds like you had a rough travel day! Traveling with a toddler is tough enough, I can't imagine doing it while pregnant. And I swear no one is chivalrous or nice when it comes to airplane travel, even if you're pregnant or with kids! Anyway, hope things get easier!
@lexidawg Oh, I'm sorry you have to let people go. I know that is so tough, even if they're incompetent. Hopefully it goes as well as it can.
@PensiveCrayon I hope things get super easy for you the next couple days-sounds like you’ve built up some karma points and deserve a good rest I really wonder at kids who don’t sleep when they’re tired. I don’t have kids yet so I’m totally not judging, but my brothers kids are all immune to naps and it makes me laugh so hard. They’re mini humans. They’re supposed to have logic lol...if you’re sleepy, go the hell to sleep!!!
@mikinna if you have some sort of way of explaining that to toddlers, please let me know! My son has no understanding of the glories of naps. @PensiveCrayon I’m glad you both got some rest!
I am pretty sure the definition of a toddler is illogical @mikinna
ohemgeeee @PensiveCrayon! I was about to tag you in wonders of your day because you were quiet, but I forgot about you traveling yesterday. I am sorry it was so stressful! 1. F airplane people. It's like traffic; people all of the sudden become exempt from morality? 2. WTF carseats are a super hot topic of importance right now and as if it's not enough to pay an arm & a leg for not only the car, but also the seat. The least they can do is give you a legal seat. Woooow. 3. I'm glad you slept well in the camper! Where did you pee, may I ask? About MIL - maybe she somehow knows you haven't read that book yet & knows you're one to read up & self-educate?
@maureenmce how did last night go? Are you going into work today? I hope you feel better & can get some food/liquids down!
@PensiveCrayon Aside from your other points, the carseat thing is what really got me. That's just negligent. I understand that the people working there are probably not parents, so it's not like they would know the difference, but the company should have better guidelines! Somebody is going to get seriously hurt one day, they will get sued, and that's the only way that will change..
@mikinna The worst part is that sometimes the more tired they are the LESS they sleep. Like they just become impossible to get to go to bed. It is...not the best part of having a kid.
@ab_canada Yuuuup. Exactly. @temmetime I actually am able to pee (and pee only, haha) in the RV! The water isn't connected, and I have to put my toilet paper in a separate bag, but it's definitely better than having to go inside MOTN.

So this morning a coworker I do not like and I don’t talk to comes into the kitchen as I’m filling my water and my back is to her. She says “what are you having?”. I couldn’t even respond, I turned around and said- Huh? So she asked again ... it’s a girl. “Awwwww”. Go F yourself lady.
My bitch is DH talked about having a sore throat yesterday, DD woke up coughing today and super fussy, and now I feel under the weather in general. Who gets colds in September when it is 80 degrees?
@Jens_Hoes Ugh- noooo!! I just talked to my Grandma yesterday who’s hosting my first baby shower next weekend and she has a cold and sounds awful! She’s like I’ll be better before your shower - I hope so!
@temmetime Last night went amazing - DD slept through the whole night for the first time since getting sick last Thursday! And I'm feeling better than yesterday, so today is a win!
@maureenmce So glad you're finally feeling better and that DD slept all night, therefore, letting YOU sleep all night! WIN! @PensiveCrayon So sorry about all your travel issues, especially after sending DH off. The car seat issue is just ridiculous, I can't believe they operate like that. But, so very glad you were able to get some decent rest last night! @katy0990 I can't believe your Mom and sister act that irrationally about you not wanting to travel for Thanksgiving. I'm sorry you have to deal with their immaturity. We're choosing not to travel this year also and we already had that decided last Thanksgiving, so our families got fair warning. If they get butt hurt about it, then that's their problemo.
I can't really think of a BF big enough to bitch publicly about right now. Except my husband snores...every night. That's pretty annoying. He's lucky I love him.
So my sister in law texts me,and is telling me that shes fighting again with her husband (my husbands brother). A litttle back story so this all makes sence. They were together years ago, in highschool, got pregnant and had their first son. Things didnt work out and they broke up. She has since been married twice and had three more children, in the span of 10 years. Bil recently moved back to nj, she is recently divorced. They begin dating again and are engaged within a few months. Now they have been fighting since day one. I can understand because i lived with bil for almost 3 years, and he wins douch of the year every year..... but thats another story. So before they are even married they are at each others throats. So she texts me one day saying they want another baby. Seeing as they just got together, have been fighting constantly, and are planning a wedding, i tell her they should probably wait, now doesnt seem like the best timing. One thing you have to understand is these to are known for acting on impulse..... so 3 weeks later she calls me and tells me i have to keep a secret, shes pregnant. Im like ok congratulations. So a month later they get married. Still fighting all the time, constantly saying they wish they'd never gotten back together. Ok now back to my orininal rant, sil is due in march. She texts me saying she kicked bil out, for not having a job since march, not helping with bills, saying hes gonna cheat on her, then last straw was saying hes gonna kill her. Ok i completly understand. The part thar pissed me off is, she tells me "now i dont know what to do about the baby". Im like wtf do you mean you dont know what to do....... she say she doesnt want to bring a baby into a efed up situation. I told her she planned for that baby, got pregnant on purpose and now she needs to see it through. You dont get a abortion because you and baby daddy broke up. By the way they are already back together..... she brought 4 kids into a efed up situation, whats it matter if she does it for one more. As someone that struggled to get pregnant a second time and wanted nothing more than to have another child, how fucking dare you tell me, after getting knocked up so easily for the fifth time, that you just want to abort it in your second trimester cause you and baby daddy broke up for a day.....ok im done, rant over.
Does anyone else feel like people only want to talk about the baby? It was fun at first, but now I feel like I need to wear a shirt that says my due date and that is a boy. I am getting tired of having the same conversation. It is possible I am just a crabby hormonal lady!
@hannelorre oh believe me, showing restraint with her was not easy. All i gotta say is if she goes through with it, she has one hell of an ass whooping coming. It literally makes my blood boil
@lavenderlisa That is so sad for all the children involved! She had to know that getting pregnant again wasn’t the best idea! Abortion is not the answer!
Yeah it is terrible for all involved. She didn't want that baby In the first place if getting rid of it is such an easy solution for her. Its disgusting.
@lavenderlisa Wow. Sounds like they are pretty good at trying to use kids to fix dysfunction. You’d think after 4 kids she would have realized that doesn’t work. I hope they both decide to be responsible with their choices from now on.
Right @rosebud332!!! The ignorance from those two is outrageous. Thats what i meant by they are very impulsive people. If they want something they do it. No thought put into it at all. They act like complete children.
@lavenderlisa even though it sucks that she's dragging you into her mess, but it actually sounds good that she's asking your advice so she doesn't make an impulsive decision like she did initially about this baby. She's got to understand that it's not just her anymore.

Anyway, he slept last night, and I did too (minus the pees)! Feeling so much better this morning.
