There was a $2 pants sale at Good Will this week, & this lady like 20 years older than me was looking at the pants I had set aside to try on, and I was like, "oh, sorry, those are mine." and she GUSHED over how cute this one pair of pants was and then I kept thinking I saw her like watching me--so even though they didn't exactly fit my pregnant self, I bought them to spite her.
I took off my heart monitor today. I still have a week and a half to go but I need a few hour break. Maybe even the rest of the day.
I guess my skin is allergic to the electrodes so I have open sores and weird scabs forming where they’re all attached to me. It’s horrible and painful and disgusting looking. I asked if I could stop the monitoring early and they said no. She did say the company might have hypoallergenic electrodes but it’ll take a day or two to get here. Ugh. This whole process has been a nightmare and I wish I’d never gone in. I highly doubt anything is actually wrong which is why I’m feeling so dang annoyed.
I slept for 9 hours last night and I’m still tired. Is that a confession?
how about this...we have tickets to go to the TedX talks in town tomorrow and I really want to ditch. It’s going to be 63 degrees and the rest of the 10 day forecast is in the 20’s and 30’s! I just want to enjoy the weather and not sit inside listening to people talk, even if they are brilliant people.
@kantobean #teamniceweather! I'd totally ditch the talk to enjoy the weather, but I also live in a place where winter is 6 months long.
FFFC: I didn't shower or wash my face last night or this morning, so I have still have yesterday's makeup on. It looks decent enough so I haven't touched it. This wouldn't be confession-worthy if I wasn't at work in a professional environment today lol.
@stassischroeder that sounds like me 50% of the time even when I worked ha.
@miss.sally I’m so sorry. That is awful. I’m glad you took them off.
@EmilyLove25 they raised the price of our mall Santa by 50% But since I only have one kid, his outfit is pretty cheap. And DH and I will probably just wear clothes we already own. Although...I dunno if I have holiday colored maternity tops.
@EmilyLove25 you have to book a mall Santa photo in advance? We usually go to a greenhouse and have to wait in a ridiculous line (like 2hrs) but the setup and Santa are so cute! There are some real ugly looking Santa’s out there and I don’t want to risk it so we shall wait in a long line 🤣
@stassischroeder I wear makeup infrequently so I usually rewear it the next day
mine is kind of more of an UO, I prefer the taste of diet sodas so that is what I drink. A lot of them don’t use aspartame anymore but I’m not stupid I’m sure whatever they use is equally as bad for you.

@kantobean today was the first day of this pregnancy that I missed wine. (I think bc I watched Jersey Shore today and they were all getting drunk ha.)
I was like, “only a few more months!” in my head and then remembered the first few months of baby are such a clustereff of exhaustion that I won’t even want to drink...so really more like 6 months (or so?)...whomp whomp.
I really want an NYC girls night with my friends after this baby is born and I’m feeling better.
@kantobean, I ordered a 2 oz pour of a really nice red wine when we went out to dinner for our anniversary. I drank it over a period of an hour with a full meal and felt zero regrets! It was more than enough for me to feel satisfied and I only had to pay for 33% of the full price!
@silverhope I have already picked out the bottle we’re opening the first night I’m home from the hospital. 😂 Also, I remember the first few times drinking after having DD and I would get tipsy from like 1/3 a glass. 😂
@kantobean def go for the nice weather. It’s already started to snow here and I’m like blah about it.
However more importantly how did you sleep 9 hours?! Or should I say how many times were up to use the bathroom? I’m at roughly 4 per night in 6 hours of sleep (one of those is usually shared with DD) so I’m jealous of 9 hours!
I also have no flames for the wine. I had a sip of DH’s beer a month ago just to relish one fall beer. I’m not a wine drinker but I love beer. He had a Christmas Ale tonight but I haven’t been having any sips of those bc the alcohol content is higher and then I feel guilty. That first night home from the hospital I am going to have a delicious IPA.
@kantobean what is this magic?! I think I pee more at night then I do all day 😑. My DD used to sleep through the night until we potty trained her. Now she wakes up once a night to use the potty, which she does on her own but then she has to come in and wake me up to alert me that she has indeed gone.
I had a small glass of pumpkin beer last weekend! Having a glass of wine/beer even once a day won’t do anything bad for baby. Just don’t get drunk all the time and you’ll be fine. 😂

ever since going on standard time, I’m sleepy at like 8:00. But I still stay in bed until my alarm goes off at 5:45. 😂
