Re: ~*~~Random Comment Tuesday~*~~
Today I have multiple comments:
1. Yaaa for take home GBS tests! However, I did discover that booty swabbing while 36 weeks pregnant requires a certain level of contortionist ability. I was very close to calling for hubby assistance, which would have been awkward, I'm sure. Not everyday one's wife awakens them with "hon, can you please come stick a q-tip in my bum?"
2. These BH contractions are quite literally breathtaking.
3. My poor Penny(see cute red doggy in my avatar) injured her back somehow last week. Thankfully we got her checked out and have been plying her with meds. Not so thankfully is the fact that getting her checked out and acquiring said meds cost about $200. Not so cool with mat leave poverty looming in the near future.
Awww poor Penny! I hope she gets well soon.
1) It's only 9:15 and I am already having terrible heartburn.
2) I decided that Friday is going to be my last day in the office. I am so miserable and exhausted and I had to put an end date on this madness. I've already had two people this morning treat me like I'm an a-hole because I'm not working up until the exact second I give birth. Both of them have kids and neither of them have ever worked until they were 40 weeks pregnant (both went early) so they can bite me.
I am so, so, so, so, so p!ssed off that those IDIOTS from Westboro Baptist Church plan to picket the funerals of the two students killed yesterday in the school shooting. I want everyone in Northeast Ohio to go to the funerals to create a barrier so those morons can't get anywhere near the grieving families. There is absolutely no reason they need to picket these funerals or any other funeral for that matter. I hope Margie Phelps and her idiot family rot in hell for all eternity.
She seems to be feeling a bit better. She's gone from being pretty much immobile and sad-faced in her bed to finally back to tail wagging and greeting me at the door.
Me too Salt, me too. I feel your pain, my heartburn has been raging since Sunday ::cries:: I've been trying everything and nothing works!
If the azzhole in the Book Store asks me again if I'm ever going to have this baby I might shank him. Just let me pay for my effing milk and let me return to my job kthanks!
I had a dr. appt. yesterday and everything went well except she didn't check me to see if I'm progressing (she said she would start next week, kinda bummed me out) and by the way she was talking it sounds like LO is in there for the long haul :0( I mean, I know that anything can happen at any time really, but it just seems like she's going to wait until the last minute, if not longer. She hasn't even dropped yet!!
On a different note, apparently someone can have BH's and not even feel them at all. I did not know that, but good to know!
My mom keeps telling me that everything I'm going through now at 36 (well today 37) weeks pregnant is EXACTLY what she had right before she went into labor with me (AND I was her first born, so she seems to think I might mirror her pregnancy since a lot of other parts of this-- my first-- mirrors hers). It's really hard not to get my hopes up, as I always suspected the EDD both from the OB AND from the u/s might be a bit off... But, I'm not a medical professional, so idk. It does make the wait seem more tedious, though...
Salt - I totally understand about not wanting to work. I started working from home this week and I feel like I've had it. I can't imagine what it's like to actually be in the office. I have to go in for a meeting tomorrow and I'm dreading it.

They tried to picket a military funeral in Jackson, MS, a few years ago. People found out what hotel they were staying at and quadruple parked their cars behind them. The hotel looked the other way. They didn't make it to the funeral. Those people are crazy idiots.
Mine: I feel really, really bad for DH right now. My feet are swelling so much that when I go home from work at night, I have to lay on the couch and not do anything. He's taking on all the housework until I recover from birth. He hates housework, and frankly, he's not very good at it. I've always done the brunt of it since we've been married. It's hard for him to see what needs to be done, so I have to nag him about things or make him lists, which makes me feel like his mom. Not a good situation for either of us! Not too much longer!!!!!!!!!
soooooo cute!!!
my RCT- yikes boobies!!! totally engorged and this baby doesn't want to eat that much!!! i guess i must have thrown out my old pump parts b/c i went searching this morning and all i found was the tubing...off to target we go.
My Wedding Bio!
omg... that is so cute that I literally want to throw up. I am a knitter, not a crocheter, but I might have to learn just to make that before Easter.
My random comment is that my mother is making me kind of insane. I call her every day (I enjoy talking to her.... but you know how it is...). Every single time she answers the phone, she's like "Is there baby news!?" I know she is SOOOOOO excited (first grandchild... and she is baby CRAZY) and anxious because they are going to come down from MD the moment I go into labor, but it is getting on my nerves. Also, I think I'm either just hormonal or in that kind of mood where everything she does bugs me - because she really can't say anything without irking me lately.
I loved it too! I ordered it in grey. And I can't wait for it to get here! I wish I could actually make it myself but I'm not crafty and can't knit.

TTGP September Siggy Challenge: Teen Crush
I am not nearly as far along as you are, but I completely agree. All of the freaking whining from people who are 35-37 weeks has been getting to me lately too. I do know that everyone has different experiences, and some people at 36 weeks might be a LOT more uncomfortable than I am right now, but still.......
1. I?ve woken up with bad headaches the last two mornings that will not go away.
2. I was having hot flashes all morning while trying to get ready for work
3. I?m a tad cranky today and even though it?s only 9:20 am I?m sooo over this day already
Ok I?m finished complaining?..
There's another Etsy shop that has a similar bunny set for sale (rather than having the pattern for sale) for those who don't crochet.
Bunny Set
More of a b*tchfest than a comment, but the core lab at the hospital jacked up my 24-hour catch. Now I have to do it AGAIN. It was bad enough, trying to be discreet at Lamaze last night, but now I'm chained to the house to perform this nonsense.
Bridget, our nurse at the OB's office, gave us the low down: When the courier went to pick up the testing kit yesterday morning to bring it back to the office for me, a particularly PITA lab employee told him to "just grab one of each kit from the back, because we never got an order for that patient so I have no idea which one to give you." (Note, I watched as Bridget faxed the order in to the hospital lab TWICE on Friday, and called to make sure she was ordering the correct kit.) Naturally, he grabbed every single one BUT the right one (as they are kept in a different supply closet, apparently), so I did all that work for NOTHING. *grumblesnarlhiss*
I had to trudge into the hospital complex this morning, make my way through FOUR hospitals (UNC has Children's, Women's, Memorial, and Cancer hospitals all stacked next to one another and the lobbies are connected) to get to the core lab and pick the materials up myself and then waddle back to the parking garage. LONG FRIGGIN' WALK to endure because of someone else's idiocy. Needless to say, not a happy camper today. -_-
There are lots of these on etsy. I spent a lot of time last week contemplating whether or not to buy one. I wish I could knit or crochet because I'd really rather just make it than shell out the money for it.

I honestly didn't know about this and I am SHOCKED that anyone could be so hateful and cruel. It really bugs me that these people are so evil yet parade under the disguise of a church - they couldn't be more far off from the love of God. I seriously don't understand how they're justifying their behavior. I want to give those families a big hug, I feel so terrible for them.
Dig: Oh, poor Penny dog!
I'm glad she's on the mend, and I know your pain: WE dropped $900 on vet bills to fix Oddball back in January, and we never actually found out what it was that was making her sick! (That would be her in the picture below.)
My random comment - I have a weird obsession with soft/cute things. Little Miss has received many stuffed animals, all of which are incredibly cute and soft. I think she may have to fight me for them when she comes out.
I am going to have a cow if my tax return isn't in tomorrow. I've been waiting for it since last Thursday, damnit! I have things I want to pay off before I go spend $400 on a new phone....
Mrs. Mincks- DS1 DOES drop it like it's hot! LOL! He 'dances' by dropping his booty to the floor several times... complete with a shiteating grin. It's awesome.
HA! That is awesome. Too cute! We discovered that my 1.5-year-old niece can drop it, too. And she also has a thing for Mardi Gras beads. We may need to keep an eye on her.
This is why I put up that random AW post today. I'm tired of every post being the same thing... I'm here for at least 4 more weeks. We need a little freaking variety !!!!
But the true AWs are not going to want to be constrained to one thread. Oh well, it is a good idea!
Very Random...
I saw a commercial last night for a place offering a steak that tastes "just like it came off Bourbon Street". Now, I don't know about any of you guys, but I don't want to eat anything that tastes like it came off any of the streets in New Orleans - esp Bourbon Street!
Told you it was a very random comment, however, the whole thing made me laugh out loud last night, so I thought I'd share.
Feeling so very meh today. Found out this morning that the doc wants me to have c-section and I agreed to it for tomorrow morning. This upsets me for so many reasons:
1. I didn't want to have surgery
2. I didn't really want a leap day baby
3. I didn't want a 10lb monster baby
4. I feel like all of this could have been avoided had they done a growth u/s 4 weeks ago and induced instead
5. With #4 I could have suffered less discomfort and been better prepared than I am now if they had done it 4 weeks ago.
6. This pregnancy was going soooo much better than the pregnancy with my DD so how did I still end up being on the shiity end of the stick. It wasn't supposed to be this way.
Maybe these aren't random but I don't want to AW post a thread for sympathy.
Right there with you.
