Re: B&M Monday!
I'll B&M. I'm traveling for work this week, and I hate my hotel room. This is the 3rd one I've tried in this hotel since I got here, and I still hate it. I think it's the whole hotel that I hate, actually.
I'm also cold (it's really not that cold here, just a different climate) and tired (baby boy attempts to flip at 10pm, 12am, 2am, and 4am). And most of all, I miss my dogs. Life is so boring without them.
My boobs are giant, and they hurt. A lot. Plus if they aren't constantly leaking, they're getting clogged up. Boobs are stupid.
Also, people keep touching my belly button. What the hell is that? I asked someone this morning what they thought they were doing, and they said "seeing if it's popped out yet!" I should add this was not someone I know very well at all. What a nutter thing to do.
Also speaking of belly buttons, does anyone else have a hideous scar from their old piercing? I look like a freak.
On the happy AWy, non-B&M side, I've been registry stalking. I know invites for my baby shower haven't even gone out yet, and all of our big stuff with the exception of one or two things, has been purchased. I wasn't expecting to get anything big, and I really just registered to get the completion coupon. My family and friends are awesome.
Except when they touch my belly button.
I'll bish...
Pregnancy symptoms are kinda dumb. Acid reflux is disgusting. Nobody wants to wake up multiple times a night gagging on stomach acid. What the crap is that about. If I'm not burning the back of my throat out with stomach acid, then I hafta pee. You'd think, since I only get a few more weeks to sleep, that my body would behave in a way that would allow me to do so. Instead I'm tired and grumpy and I feel crappy, and this baby is heavy, and I want to take a nap all day. It's beautiful out, I have a zillion things to do, and here I sit on TB because I don't feel well enough to do any of those things. It's dumb, and it makes me mad.
I'm sure as the day continues I'll think of more to moan about, but I am grumpy and I just wanna throw things and go to sleep...
I'm straight up cranky. I feel like I might be coming down with some sort of illness but for now keep trying to convince myself that it's all in my head. I go from freezing cold to sweaty hot in a matter of minutes and my belly feels upset.
My FI was put on 12 hour night shifts for the next week so we physically won't see each other because I leave for work before he gets home and vice versa, then after this week he's gone for a week Moose hunting...yup I'm bummed out and cranky today!!
Oh how I wish I could just go home and drink some wine to get that warm fuzzy feeling...I miss wine

That's super weird.. I highly suggest poking theirs back. And heck yeah it's like the top part of little skin that was pierced has turned itself into a mini stretch mark. It's all pink and shiny and weird looking..
It's a temporary thing I know but he really needs to move because mommy is about to pass out at her desk due to a lack of oxygen. Which is also probably causing brain damage here because we're going on like hour two of no air.
My B&M is that I can't breathe
Also I just hate when people brag about how fancy they are on here. Seriously that shiit is annoying I promise you nobody cares. And if you really had all these things you claim to have, I just don't think you'd act like this. Only new money brags about it. You must have fallen onto whatever you have very recently.
I hate everyone. In the world.
Yesterday was my 25th birthday and all I did was cry. I'll never have another birthday alone, it's me+LO forevermore. Boohoo, it's pitiful and pathetic, I know, but it's my birthday and I can cry if I want to.
Today, I just want to punch everyone in the face. I would love a day to myself for once. Blissfully quiet, no ignorant conversation or pointless small talk, no TVs blasting, no dogs barking.. just me and myself.. alone. If only that wasn't so hard a request; now, everyone wants to be up my @ss.
Happy birthday!!! Here is some fake cake:
Yes. I got mine pierced when I was 14. The guy who did it sucked, and the skin dried up like a scab, so obviously the ring fell out. Now I have this huge scar where it used to be. Anyone who sees it, now that I'm pregnant and it's all stretched out, makes fun of me.
My BM is that DH pretends to gag at changing her diaper. He even told me today, when I noticed she had a poopy diaper, that I smelt it, so I need to deal with it. I have no problem with this, as I fully intended to change her myself.
However, if he ever smells it, he hands her to me. He's a parent, and changing stinky diapers is a part of being a parent, it's not just a mom thing.
Ugh! It's just frustrating. I think she stinks too, does he not get that!? I don't like changing poopy diapers any more than he does, but for the wellbeing of our children, I do it. He's just thinking more of himself and avoiding some unpleasant things, I guess. But it makes me mad, and he just laughs and doesn't change her. So, if I refuse to change her, I'm being selfish and unconcerned with her predicament and a bad mother ... according to him ... but he, because he tells me she's poopy, is not being any of those things because he feels he's taken care of the situation be delegating the problem to me!
This is my belly button too... and I'm pretty sure I've got faint purple stretch marks coming off of my belly button now too, not just the big scar situation that is my belly button piercing.
My B&M. I got heartburn for the first time last night! That ish is NO joke. I went and tried to throw it up.
Don't know if it really *helped*, but it was all I could think to do and then I went and tried to sleep more propped up than normal. I don't keep TUMS in the house (since I've never experienced heartburn before) and sooo the heartburn was still showing it's ugly, fiery head this morning and luckily, my work keeps some and soo I popped two of those bad boys (TUMS) and I've been good since. I need to run out and buy some on my way home from work, I guess and be prepared for the next attack!
The second B&M/sidenote: WTfcukittyF have I been having that I *thought* was heartburn??! It's like my food just sits there at the top of my throat making me feel like I should throw it up. Blegh. I want to never eat again. Especially now that I have whatever <this is coupled with heartburn.
Here's my current mantra:
i second the poking back. this made laugh so hard! HAHA!
anyway, i wish i could have something to brag about, or atleast be fancy. i haven't had the chance to buy anything remotely useful for LO because my sister keeps holding me back and making me wait for the shower first. and i know i'm not gonna get much from there, but she insists. i just want to go shopping reaaaally bad!
and aside from that, my mom had me babysit her dogs for this weekend because she went to LA, and they've been waking me up since 6am! they'd bark at any car or anyone that passes by the house and it's so annoying! i didn't get much sleep. and now my head hurts because of it!

That sounds like reflux. I have pretty chronic reflux issues, and sometimes it feels like my food is "stuck" in my throat. Sometimes I have to get up during dinner and "take my food for a walk" as I call it.
I'll B&M!!! Trying to sleep last night was literal HELL!! Waking up every hour to pee and not being able to get comfortable considering I'm a belly sleeper and that is impossible! Also, off and on BH during the night.
Then to start today off, I thought I hit snooze on my alarm but instead I shut it off. I woke up at 7:30 (which is when I should be leaving my house for work), so I had to call my boss and tell her I was running late. And because I was frantic trying to get ready for work, I forgot the cash I had sitting out for lunch and didn't grab anything to eat for breakfast. So I had to drive to get lunch today.
This pregnant lady had definitely got a case of the Mondays today! And to add icing to the cake, I check patients in for their dr appointments, and people are being really rude today. We usually don't get this level of "***-ness" until tomorrow! Ugh!
B&M over.
I don't have much to B&M about, but I finished all my gumballs yesterday and I want some so bad! I buy the bags of gumballs from Target and basically just inhale them (they are my favorite). I can't go to Target right now ( DS is napping) so I have nothing to chew... and it sucks.
Also, I am trying to finish all my lesson plans before DS2 gets here, and I have been working really hard to do so, and lately I am just over it. I have finished all of mine through January, but I just can't get motivated to get working. Must do now!
Can I just say that pg insomnia can kiss my fn @$$. I am so freakin exhausted, I took 2 days off work last week to catch up on sleep. Ya right, I might have gotten 2hrs of nap time in over 2 days, if I'm lucky. Lots of tossing and turning...did I mention how fun that is with my pelvic and back pain!
Top it off with the fact that Friday night I was still wide awake at 2:30 am and woke for the day at 8am. Saturday night was a tiny bit better, I was asleep by 2, but woke at 7 with DS. I tried to nap yesterday afternoon/evening, but again, no such luck. I am so tired my vision is blurry and I can't stop yawning...but I can't get to sleep either. UGH! I just started taking my rx sleep/anxiety meds again on wed night, hopefully in another day or two they will kick in and I'll finally be able to get some rest.
Oh my gosh! Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t!!
I completely was trying to be all cool and thoughtful and was planning on paging you out yesterday to wish you a Happy Birthday, and I even remembered Saturday and giggled to myself for being so sneaky about it all and still remembering....
then I obviously forgot. I suck.
Happy Birthday! Here's some cake:
....but just remember
Haha! Where do you find such perfect GIFs?!?
AHHHHHH, you ladies are hilarious! Sorry, I know that you are B&Ming BUT I too feel the same way you all do.
My B&M is that my boobs feel so effing heavy and hurt like hell. Yesterday it was like they went from fine to wham! ha, now your boobs are sore as crap! Also, LO is still not head down (as of now, fingers crossed he moves) and kicks the ever living crap out of my sides. Oh, and don't even get me started on my hip pain. Good Christ! It's not bad enough we gain weight, have heartburn (yea as the PPer said I thought I had experienced hb before...boy was I wrong!), some get stretch marks, our boobs hurt, back hurts, feet swell and yea well you get the picture...but the hip pain which BTW prevents me now from getting a good nights sleep is just cruel! The tossing and turning to get 'comfortable' coupled with the need to pee every 2 or 3 hours is getting old! I think I may have to sleep in my recliner from here until LO decides to come (or until my c-section date) which ever comes first.
There is plenty more but I'll cut it off here. Thanks for reading!
I love being pregnant most of the day.
However, I am starting to feel more and more like a fat old man. I have to do the "turtle rock" getting out of bed or the recliner, I feel like I have prostate problems with this peeing all the darn time (not even a good pee, a little trickle pee), I have acid reflux and indigestion in the evenings and I grunt sometimes when I move around. And I have a sinus infection.
I also, no wonder, I dont feel sexy at all anymore. And, I am hornier than I have ever been---not a good combo. Not only do I look/act like an old man and I am sick- I was upset lastnight because DH hadnt put the moves on me. The rational side of me knows I am sick and I was sore from over doing it this weekend and DH was being nice and letting me rest and relax. The irrational side of me thinks DH thinks I am a giant old fat man...

One more thing...Happy Birthday!!!!! My birthday is on Friday and I am feeling the same way you are about it never being another birthday alone! Life is going to be very interesting from here on out! : )
I'm glad everyone is feeling cranky and irritable. Last week a girl in my office asked how I was feeling and I was like "uh, you know". And she was like "oh, are you tired?" Apparently she doesn't know. I'm not really tired, even though I can't sleep more than 4-5 now, but it is just everything.
My hands and feet are swollen and for some annoying reason, my hands are sweating like a nervous teenager. Seriously, I leave sweaty prints on my computer when I lift up my hands. Its disgusting. My belly has been itching, really bad. My back hurts when I sit too long or in the wrong position. I have to pee, all the time. And I'm just in a funky mood and nothing makes me happy.
Seriously, this little guy better be freaking amazing or else I'm never having a 2nd kid.
First - Happy Birthday ladies!!
Second - I was just talking about this the other day....I was saying I'm so over being pregnant and wish it were done so I could have my life back, then I realized I'll NEVER have my life back and I have no idea what to expect. I got all anxious and depressed and my FI got annoyed with me for feeling like that!!!

My office is freaking cold!! I have a heater running and the door shut and it's still FREEZING! I live in Texas for crying out loud!
They usually fall into my hands quite by accident and I'm all like:
Glad you enjoy them!
Ugh, I deal with this all the time and it makes me so stabby. Yup, I'm a big old meanie pants for telling you I need you to type contracts instead of emailing your mom for the 47th time today. I had one former assistant send an email to me and three higher ups letting everyone know I hurt her feelings by writing her up and she would need to take some time off. (I gave her an infinite amount of time off soon after.) We're all human, and yeah, sometimes even I take it personally when I get "yelled at." But then I put my BGPs back on and get back to work.
I'd make DH plan something special for me. Maybe takeout from a nice restaurant, with candles and a nice white (disposable!) tablecloth. I know it's not the same as going out, but don't rob yourself of one last date night just because your doctor kennelled you.
Oh, and even though I'm only 32 weeks, I think I'm about to hit my pregnancy limit wall! I wish I could just take off my belly hand it over to DH and wipe my hands of it. I love feeling DD in there, but this pregnant momma is done mentally.
Aww, I'm sorry. I have a little bug bite on my belly and I thought that was itchy.
How's your older doggy doing with the potty problem?
Thank you ladies for the birthday wishes! Even you Rachael - it's ok, I know your pregnancy brain got the better of you.
And happy early birthday princessshell!
I really was trying to find a GIF from Secret Diary of a Call Girl where they featured sploshing (fetish with food) cakes. You too can have sex with cake! Except I couldn't find any.. haters.
Today is day 35 of hospital bedrest. I was supposed to get out Friday, but the dumb insurance company couldn't get their act together about my home health. So as a result of their ineptitude, they pay for extra hospital days. Makes a lot of sense in this age of trying to contain healthcare costs. Anyway, I'm on the west coast. My insurance company is headquartered on the east coast, 3 hours difference. I brought this up when the case manager dragged herself in here at 9am. Then at noon my nurse tells me the case manager is going to call BCBS at 2pm. Um... that makes it 5pm in PA and they will be closed. The nurse was very nice and called the case manager to tell her to get a move on. The nurse informed me about a half hour later that the case manager knew my insurance was on the east coast and that I had told her about the time difference, but it hadn't ocurred to her she'd need to call early. Sigh.
It's now 1:50. I called out to my nurse 10 minutes ago to find out what was going on. If I am needlessly stuck here one more night, they're going to have to scrape brain matter off the walls because it means my head exploded. My birthday is on Sunday (yay September birthdays!) and if I'm still here then, I may take a hostage. I. Want. To. Go. Home.
That is all.
If my husband ever hands me a stinky baby that he refuses to change for no good reason I will castrate him. You obviously have waaaay more patience than I do.
