Re: *~*Monday Moans*~*
I wish I were feeling more movement from our baby. I **think** I felt her moving around Saturday night for the first time, and then a little Sunday, but it wasn't as obvious as most people said it would be. I know I'm being ridiculous, but I get terrified when I hear people not as far along as me saying their DH's can already feel it kicking.
At my U/S, the tech said it would be harder to feel because of how the placenta was positioned, but it still worries me! Thankfully I have another U/S on Friday, so hopefully I will have some reassurance then to hold me over for a while.
After a week of 70 degree weather it's now cold. Again. 50's and forecasted to rain. Boo.
And DH is working like a 18 hour shift today down in the happy mayhem of World Trade Center. Guess I won't be seeing him until tomorrow.
Other than that, I am just happy little boy is all good and bouncing around in my belly.
I have been WAITING for MM! Ahh
Where to begin? I could NOT sleep last night. I had an exam at 8 am, and should've been out the door around 7:15. I didn't fall asleep till around 4:30 so I am just totally exhausted.
My professor told us to be at the exam "Ready to go" at 7:45 am otherwise she may deduct points. I tried getting my butt moving in time, but didn't get there till 7:55 and if she deducts points...
If she needed 2:15 min for the exam, she should've scheduled us for that, not two hours!
I was nauseous through my whole exam. After I indulged in a Pepsi and Bacon/Egg/Cheese bagel from McD's and feel super guilty.
Also DH washed my mat pants last night and forgot to dry them so all's I have to wear are sweat pants and my preg belly does not look good in it!!! Agh!
Happy Monday!

Coach Ali: Chin up! Remember that pregnancy is not a race, so just because others are feeling things doesn't mean that anything is wrong on your end, I promise. Pina posted something a couple days ago to this effect- about feeling movement from the outside. I am sure all is ok, and maybe you just have a very chill little baby in there!
My Monday Moan: MIL. That's all.
My morning sickness has come back and I have shingles. I'm miserable.
Despite feeling like a dog through most of the pregnancy, I've tried to remain pretty upbeat but holy balls it's hard sometimes.
I'm also really sick of people trying to offer me random cures for morning sickness. I'm almost 23 weeks pregnant. I have tried EVERYTHING. Don't think you're the first person to suggest (insert remedy). I know they're just trying to be helpful, but I really just want someone to say, ugh that sucks, I'm sorry.
My siggy is too big but I don't have the energy/motivation to mess with it.
The above sums up about everything in my life right now. I feel overwhelmed. All I want to do is eat and watch TV, even though my energy level is decent. Why am I so lazy? Why do I keep procrastinating? My house is a mess. I need to sell about 15,000 things on eBay. I'm behind at work. Seriously. I need to get it together.
Wednesday's anatomy scan is so close yet so far away.

Ugh, that sucks. I'm sorry.
All weekend, my DH dug out a spot in our yard for our new patio. His dad and his brother came over to help him, but I still felt so bad that I couldn't do more to help. Poor thing's back and arms hurt so bad, and they wouldn't let me near a shovel. So, I felt guilty just sitting around, so I morphed into Martha Stewart, went to the grocery store, and came home with all kinds of goodies...I cut up fresh fruit salad, made lunch, dinner, and dessert to feed the troops. I also gave the dog a bath (because inevitably, she was "helping" to dig), and gave her a haircut. And after all that, I think I'm as tired as DH
Yep. We can do it!
I wish my anatomy scan wasn't so late in the day, it isn't until 2pm! And I seriously need to be productive at work that day... it's going to be so hard! I'm usually not this whiny, I need to stop.
Our movers are coming mid June and we are not bringing our old nasty couch. DH told me to schedule salvation army to come pick it up, and I told him that they probably won't take it. And he told me: "well I'm not lifting it again." Ummmm, what am I supposed to do about it alone?!? DH: "just call someone to take it, its not that hard"
Can I stab him now?! If its not that hard, you do it you lazybastard.
I've already done all the packing and prep work by myself including hauling seven 40lb( yes forty pound) boxes of books to the post office with a toddler in tow, up and down our second story apartment building. Oh wah, you have to lift one couch for a grand total of 5 minutes.
My MIL keeps on telling me I'm gaining weight (and in which specific places, such as my legs) every time she sees me. She considers this a compliment. No matter how many times I tell her it's offensive for her to tell me I'm gaining weight all over, and that I don't want to hear it, she still says something every single time.
Every time I pee, I think LO shifts, and I have to go straight back and pee again.
I want warm weather already!
Maybe you should point out a few "new" lovehandles on her, or perhaps a second chin, just to drive the point home
I am sunburnt on my back and shoulders, and it's my own damn fault, but I want to whine about it. I tan very well and have only dealt with sunburn twice in my life.
Well, since I was in school and working FT for the last 3 years, I have not had the opportunity to be in the sun often enough to keep a base tan. So it's been since last August that my back has seen the sun, I forgot sunscreen, and I was in the sun in a tank top for practically 5 hours on a clear, sunny day. What did I expect? Ugh, I have tried vinegar and aloe, but it's still painful and oh so red. It hurts to move, and I hate my bra straps.
In addition, the freaking AC is broken in the office, so not only do I have to deal with the sunburn heat, I have a nice warm office.
LOL! I can't seem to get her to shut up. When I was 6 weeks and not showing, she told me I had a "pregnant sway". I'll never forgive her for that one.
The only thing I can think of is that she's not a terribly skinny woman (Okay, she's pretty large), and I lost a lot of weight before the pregnancy. Maybe she thought I was too skinny pre-preg. But she's super weird, because I honestly haven't gained weight ANYWHERE except in my belly. She likes to sort of... see things that aren't there.
Thanks for the reminder.
I'm sure everything is fine--it's just hard not to compare to other people in the same stage.
And good luck with your MIL...
I'm relieved that I am not the only one! I had what I thought was movement 3 days in a row, but now nothing for a week. I figure it wasn't really movement, but it worried me because I thought I would feel it by now especially with all the posts about movement super early. I'm just going to have to assume that my body and the baby's body are doing exactly what they are supposed to since I have no other signs of problems.
I did that a couple of weekends ago and it was awful! I'm definitley more sensitive to the sun this time around and will have to be very careful about sunscreen this summer. I'm usually pretty good about having a base tan too, but not this year. It sucks.
Nothing seemed to help with the burn, and then it took FOREVER to go away. Mine was on my legs, and my feet swelled like crazy for about a week. Thank God they've gone back to normal now, I wasn't ready to deal with that yet!
Make a pregnancy ticker
It's raining.
I work at a Credit Union, and twice today people have come in blaming me for money they owe us from 2005.
I have a final tonight.

I'm living with my in laws while the renos get done on our new place. I am so bored living there. I don't feel at home, pretty much all of my belongings are at the new place, and I just don't feel comfortable there. Plus my MIL hates dog hair and won't let people pet her dogs, so I don't feel comfortable even petting my own dogs there. Plus the double bed they have for us to sleep on is the hardest, worst mattress in the world.
As we've been moving into the new place all my inlaws can talk about is how smoothly the move has been going, or how ideal the weather has been. I seriously can't handle another conversation about it. I've seriously had at least a dozen of them, about how great its going. We've been there since Wednesday, and will be there until Saturday. Hopefully I am still sane by the weekend!
I have a couple.
First, I could have gone with DH today while he does a delivery 3 hours away. I have done this before and we always have a great time on the road. However, I was scheduled to have a 3 hour meeting starting at 12:30 so I couldn't go. Well a few minutes ago they called and said the meeting was cancelled. So I could have gone with DH! Darn them.
Second, I have started drooling like crazy in my sleep. I have never had this problem before! I hate it, I wake up feeling gross and weird. And I hate the feeling of a wet pillow.
Last, but not least, I have developed this super strong sense of smell over the last few days. And it's mostly just with really awful smells- manure, diesel, skunk, sour milk, etc. Whenever I'm close to anything that smells bad, I get nauseous. Why now in the 2nd trimester!!! Ergh.
DH and I are leaving on Saturday for a week vacation to visit my sister, her husband, and my niece and nephew. I am SO excited, we haven't seen them in 16 months! However, this = hell at work the week before and the week after. Everyone starts freaking out that I will be gone for a week so dig up every last little task they can think of to drop in my lap. Then nobody picks up the slack when I am gone so I come back to very impatient and demanding phone calls, hundreds of emails, and a stack of paperwork 8" high. When everyone else goes on vacation I do my best to pick up their slack but nobody does the same for me.
Confession: I have 2 Property Manager's I work exclusively for (in addition to everything else) and they don't remember anything without me reminding them. SO, I am not reminding them I am gone next week until Friday afternoon and it's too late, hopefully nobody else in the office ruins it for me. Bwahahahaha.
I think I'm losing one of my best friends...In all honesty she hasn't been the same since I got engaged last year but it's been, sadly, downhill from there. I've tried everything imaginable to keep her involved and stay involved in her life but it seems like it's never enough.
Last weekend she fell through on a favor for me and left me in a very difficult situation. Since then, I haven't heard from her at all...except to text message an apology...I've tried to talk to her but got a nasty reply. I don't even know why she would be nasty to me since she's the one who let me down. I honestly have no idea what to do anymore.
I went for a prenatal massage Saturday and the reclining table FELL TWICE during my massage (the back/recline part, not the whole table). I'm pretty sure it was NOT relaxing at all... And she said it's happened before.
Well, if it has "happened before" - shouldn't you get a NEW TABLE?? Just a thought? :-)
I'm sorry for this.
I am in a similar situation and it is very painful. Are you able to just sit down and talk to her, knowing it might make her defensive and awkward? I am thinking about doing this with my friend.
Oh, I'm sorry you're going through this too! It's such a difficult situation to maneuver and you're right, it is very painful. I've tried to talk to her about it before but I didn't get anywhere. I know her well enough to know that once she's made up her mind or decided to hold a grudge then that's it...I don't think I have much choice but to wait and see if she gets over it herself - especially since I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything wrong. I hope you have better luck with your friend - are you supposed to get together soon?
I feel like I am 85 years old. I have a blood clot in my leg caused by my varicose veins. The solution? Wearing support stockings for the rest of pregnancy and elevating my leg whenever possible. Some days it's so painful I feel like I could use a cane. I'm 31, not 85! That is my complaint for the day :-)
Well that's really up to me. She doesn't drive so I always go to her house. So I have to decide if (or when) I'm ready for this discussion.
I had a friend that I was very close to, emotionally, for over 10 years. We didn't live near each other but talked several times throughout the day, every day. Then as it got closer to my wedding last year, she started to get... weird. She would pick fights and not talk to me for days. She was actually supposed to be in the wedding so I eventually called her out on it and she threw a hissy fit to end all hissy fits, and ended the friendship. Eventually another friend told me that she thinks that the original friend was jealous of me and the wedding, because her wedding to her husband almost ten years earlier had been hurried and not at all what she wanted, and she saw me getting the wedding of my dreams. It was very sad but I wasn't going to go to her and try to work things out. I felt it was her place. And she never has.
Where to begin...
I didn't sleep enough last night, so I'm completely exhausted today - like to the point of feeling nauseated from being tired.
My classroom is about a thousand degrees and lately everywhere I go I feel so so hot. It's hot outside, it's hot at work, it's hot in the car - I only get respite at home where I can set my thermostat to 67 (and I live in Houston - it will not chill that low for more than a week or two more and then I'll be hot all the time).
Also, I'm moving in 4 weeks and I have done nothing to prepare for it. Like, haven't packed a single box.
I really need the next 5 hours at work to speed by so I can lay on my cool couch and nap.
I have two, completely unrelated:
1. My back/hips are KILLING me! I actually shrieked and burst into tears on Saturday when I tried to get up from a lying position. It's fine once I'm up and about, of course RELAXING is when it hurts. To make matters worse, I told my OB and her response was "just wait until it never goes away!"
2. I work with idiots.
Don't feel bad. I'm moving in 4 weeks also and have done nothing. Worse than that, we have nowhere to move to, because we can't find a decent house. I am not looking forward to the inevitable stay at my mother's until we can find something. :-(
I enjoyed the California sun a little too much yesterday. I laid out, bare belly & all...and this morning my poor stretched out belly button button is all red and so is my chest. They are starting to itch.
But you know what, I'm really not moaning cause I enjoyed every minute of the sun
I just need to figure out a way to get my backside...lol.
Ugh, I'm sorry - I don't understand why it has to get to that point. Most of my friends got married and started families before me. While I was jealous, I never let it get in the way of our friendship. I hate that you have to go through that with two separate friends - I can totally relate to what you're going through!
#1 - I have a huge presentation due today and a final tomorrow. I sometimes regret going back for my master's degree. However, I am again procrastinating while surfing TB, FB, and Etsy.
#2 - My pubic bone still hurts... it feels like I was kicked there. Mainly when I go from a sitting/lying position to moving. Once I am up moving around, it stops.
#3 - I wish I felt the baby move. I haven't felt anything yet that I would for sure call baby... it could be gas. I am so anxious to feel this baby kick around like everyone is talking about
My lunch gave me a tummy ache, and all I want to do is lay down for a bit... but I'm stuck here at work, ugh!
My baby doesn't move, I'm getting worried
... my lower back is killing me....when I lay down It's hard to get up....I feel like a hippo....
WEHHHHH! Okay, I'm done. U/s tomorrow though!!
Feel better ladies.
