Re: ~*~~Random Comment Tuesday~*~~
1. I am so hot at night that it's ridiculous. Usually DH and I sleep right up next to each other, but I can't hardly stand to even be in the bed with him. I've turned the heat down to 67 at night the last couple of nights and now he's complaining about how freezing cold he is. I've always been cold-natured so I don't know how to handle being so hot all the time!
2. Colleen - please feel free to stab me through the computer. While I was up in the middle of the night because I couldn't sleep, I (finally) went on a cleaning streak and ended up vacuuming the whole house. Now I'm feeling very crampy and I've had a couple of contractions that actually hurt for the first time. If she decides to come today, that's fine and dandy, but I'd much rather her wait until after my mom is here next Wednesday!!!
ETA: I understand that cramps and contractions could mean absolutely nothing, but it's kind of hard not to start letting the imagination run away at this point! Especially since DH REALLY wants a Leap Day baby!
-DH had a huge blow up with his dad last night. My MIL and FIL are truly from hell, and this is just one more thing on top of a huge pile. We were never going to invite my ILs to the hospital and now I'm certain they are going to think this fight is why. Nope, just one more reason why but we had already made up our minds. I wish they would move to Japan or something.
-every day is so frustratingly boring. My only Internet is from my phone and I have hours of Hulu to catch up on and I'm at the point that I might just pay the $7.99 for Hulu plus just so I can have something to do every day while I wait for the baby to come. I'm definitely to the point where pjs are the most comfortable thing to wear and I hate leaving the house because it's uncomfortable to drive, so I'm basically a huge slob. I don't even care.
-I woke up to morning sickness again. I have had about a week off lol. I think that I'm really looking forward to the light at the end of the tunnel with that.
-I'm joining the I'm sick of the bunches of am I in labor posts camp.

Another one:
So, one of husband's coworkers/friends came over to help install the flooring in the baby's room on Saturday. He brought his wife and kids with him, as they couldn't get a sitter and his wife is a SAHM, so she was feeling a bit stir-crazy. Things were going well; both girls (aged 10 and 4) were playing with our dogs and staying occupied and generally being good.
Then the 4 year old went to the bathroom, and when I asked her if she needed help washing her hands, she said, "I don't need to, because I washed them before I got here, and I didn't get anything on them!"
I turned to her mother, who said in response, "Yeah, why does she need to wash her hands? She's washed them today at least 3 times. It's fine."
And the 4 year old did it AGAIN an hour later. Same outcome.
It took EVERYTHING I HAD not to throw them all out of my house right that second. The minute they left, I cleaned EVERYTHING they touched. I mean WHAT THE EVER LOVING F*CK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Not only are you in someone else's home, but one of the owners is PREGNANT. AS IN, SUSCEPTIBLE TO DISEASE DUE TO BEING IMMUNO-SUPPRESSED. NOT TO MENTION, THAT'S JUST GROSS! YOU'VE HAD TWO KIDS AND ARE WORKING ON HAVING NUMBER THREE, HOW THE F*CK CAN YOU NOT KNOW ABOUT PROPER HYGIENE????
Needless to say, I am VERY reticent to ever see them again, and their offer to babysit my son? DENIED. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!! *shudders*
Every time I hear a story about people not washing their hands, it reminds me of this Far Side cartoon:
I remember seeing that when I was younger and being forever paranoid that something like this would happen to me if I didn't wash my hands in public. Thanks, Far Side, for making me responsible about hygiene.
And widows...that's freaking gross. Ugh.
YAY!!! I hope it means something! (I think it does!!!)
Ditto this! Exciting!
That literally made my stomach turn. DD washes her hands all.the.time. Maybe a little because I am an anal mother, but mostly because she knows it the "right" thing to do. When they are that little, to use the potty, they have to put their hands on the toilet. And I don't care how much you clean, there is no way your toilet is so clean that someone wouldn't need to wash their hands after touching it. This mom needs a MAJOR kick in the butt!
And I agree, there is NO WAY any of them would babysit my child - I almost don't want them to even hold your child!
Because Smoothie King smoothies are pretty much liquid sugar with a scoop of protein powder. They are terrible for you. You may as well drink three grande Starbucks Frappucinos... you'd get the same amount of carbs (altho more fat... it's true)!
Another random comment...
As if you couldn't tell by how much I'm haunting this thread... I'm BORED today. The thing is, I'm at work and there are things I need to do, but I have senioritis/maternity leave-itis. Plus I keep telling myself that if I leave a couple more things to do for tomorrow, I will not go into labor until after that. Silly, I know...
So exciting!!! Best post of the day!!
You mean you're not going to create a post just to tell everyone??? and ask if that's really what it was???
I enjoy the AW's about the little things like lost mucus plugs/ finished nursery pictures/ trying to decide if they're going into labor. Getting ready to have a baby is exciting and frankly, I'm thrilled. And yes, I have those same thoughts but no interest in making a post. Oh wait... I haven't lost my mucus plug (38w3d) / my nursery isn't finished (neither is the rest of my house!) / and I'm not going into labor but I also don't like baby boy giving my cervix the headbutting abuse that he has been lately.
I should have probably saved the above for FFFC and may repost it then but frankly, I don't care. I also, love the drive by labor stories-- it's like watching "A Baby Story" and since I don't get TLC with our cable package, it's just as good.
Dammit wouldn't it be fun if we were in the hospital at the same time?*
Not going to hold my breath though considering I'm like No Known Progress Nancy over here.
ETA: *It's worth mentioning that we are delivering at the same hospital. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as much of a riot if we were at different hospitals at the same time.
I don't mind the drive-by labor and birth stories because I am definitely at the point where ANYONE'S birth story is interesting to me. I lurk on other BMBs to read them. But I also don't take the time to comment on them all either.
I have dealt with swelling for the first time this week, and I don't care much for it. I drink water nonstop all day, but I guess I must be getting too much salt somewhere in my diet. My legs, feet, and ankles look like ham. I feel you on being grossed out by it!
My shoes were feeling super tight so I decided to take them off at my desk. Bad idea... now I can't get them back on again and I really have to pee! I can't very well walk trough the office in my socks can I? Sighhh...
I had one day of bad swelling but have cut out salt almost completely due to high BP and not wanting to be induced-- and let me tell you, that's hard. There's a ton of salt in Mexican cooking which is our primary food of choice at my house (DH is Mexican). But... I did LOL at the line about ham... the image in my head was too much...
I've been walking around in here all day without shoes except for when I went to the bathroom (I didn't want to Britney Spears it). Tomorrow I'm bringing slippers.
Ugh Cho...ham is an accurate description over here too. I have been drinking a TON of water and it's not doing the job. I'm not sure where all the salt would be coming from though. (Heh. Salt.)
What I really need to do is just have this baby. I bet the swelling will go down then. :P
LOL, this just occurred to me too, and I giggled about it. And yes, Salt... when are you going to have that baby? You mean you still haven't had that baby yet? And you're still going to work!? I just can't believe it!
That totally beats the 4 year old not washing her hands. Cringe.
Oh, thank goodness I'm not the only person who thought it was gross and inappropriate. You ladies are great for helping put my mind at ease. I thought I might have been being overly paranoid for about a split second, but I'm sticking to my guns! ANYONE touching my kid will be washing his/her hands first. I'm not letting their stupid, pseudo-crunchy granola hippie bullsh*t possibly do harm to my child.
(Note, I have no problem with actual crunchy granola hippie parents; they usually at least know they need to wash their hands often to prevent the spread of disease. Blech!)
I live in slippers and flip flops now. Walmart, Target, Sam's Club, they've all seen my wonderful slippers at this point in time. I figure I'm okay because I have an excuse and unlike most people at Walmart I'm not wearing pjs as well.
Oh, yeah, wow. If anything would trump my gripe, it would be that. YUCK.
Crocs are my best friends right now. Those and Land's End "moccasins," for lack of a better term. (Can't remember the style name of those shoes to save my life right now.) When the husband is home, he gladly helps me put real shoes on. But for when he's not here? You bet your sweet posterior I go out to run errands in my black Mary Jane Crocs. (Properly "shined," of course.
)
Do you have a detachable shower head? With G, when I had clogged ducts, I'd turn it on a gentle-ish massage, start at the top of the breast, and run it dowd toward the nipple while rubbing in the same direction with my other hand. It totally helped. And, see if you can't get the babies to nurse that side more than the other (if it's possible) to clear the clog.
Aww, I so know the feeling! I'm such a dork in real life that it bleeds into my online persona and I just wind up awkwarding all over the place. You can always post some GTKY threads (I find them very entertaining these days, and I'm sure some of the other bored ladies on here would agree!)...
Another comment, in re: Cho telling me about Smoothie King's ridiculous sugar content: OH GROSS. I did not realize that (I've only had smoothies from there three times in my life). I thought it was the flavors I was getting. Now I feel like I need to eat a lot of vegetables or something to make up for it. I have a huge raw kale salad in the fridge (which is delicious, by the way, so if anyone likes kale and is interested in the ingredients, let me know) that I may have to attack so that I feel better.
Squishy! I wish you didn't feel that way. I think we've all been so preoccupied with our pregnancies that GTKY has sort of fallen by the wayside a lot of the time. Maybe after the LOs are all here, we will all have more GTKY and off topic posts. I wish you would post more about food.... altho that would be kind of torturous at the moment while I'm on the GD diet. Your food blog is so amazing.
And Mincks, lol... I wouldn't stress about it if you don't live on those things. They are really evil tho.... parading as "healthy" (plus don't even the small ones cost nearly $7?) but LOADED with carbs. I mean... megacarbs. I don't even know how anyone drinks one of the large sized smoothies from there. Every time I've gotten a smoothie there, I regretted it before I could finish it.
Hahaha, you should PIP more often.
The one I got was $5ish. And it was great until about halfway through when the sugar started to get to me...I didn't want to waste it, though, so I added some sparkling water to temper it a little, which helped. But still. Ugh. I feel like a slug now! And I'm sticking with Tropical Smoothie...they let me ask for half or no sweetener!
