I literally didn't open that thread because it said "dialation."

Omg. Me too.

Hey!!! I was just thinking about you today! In a non creepy way, of course.
How's it going?

We are doing great!!

. Minus the whole not sleeping thing. Baby Allen is awesome and so sweet! I hope you are doing well!!

Yay! Sorry about the not sleeping, though. I'm hanging in there. RCS Friday morning! This family is super excited to meet our guy. I'm also excited for no more heartburn and if I'm going to be up in the middle of the night, at least I'll be productive and snuggling a baby instead of insomnia induced cereal consumption and snarking.

MrsClaus8 · September 2013

Who am I kidding? I'll still bring at least a little snark.

I don't have any cereal ATM and its making me very sad

curse you all for making me crave it.

I should really get off Pinterest

It's not good for my insomnia...or my waist line.

Hehe I had popcorn after dinner, then just now dug into my snickers ice cream. I'd love to grab some candy or something to snack on while I watch Grey's anatomy, buuuut I'm just eating out of boredom/easy availability of food. And that's probably unhealthy.

Due to my GD I cannot graze which makes late nights even that more boring. (and my internal mental hate for you ladies that much stronger)... My cereal selection is all that damn Kashi no-flavor crap. I am not allowing ice cream in our house at the moment due to my weakness to say no. I get to snack on peanut butter whole wheat toast when I first wake up from insomnia and then I can't eat again for 3 hours. TORTURE.

So I took two Tylenol PM (approved by my OB) because I was exp. a ton of discomfort and I needed to sleep. Well there is nothing better than waking up at 1:00a with unbelievable pain and timeable contractions. These contractions are no joke. As my pelvic floor becomes more brittle I cringe when a contraction begins. I used to time my contraction and be really willing to press "start" (contraction) now I am trying to breathe it out and make the time inbetween longer because they are so painful.

My friend is "testing" for one of the best salon's in the area and she needed a replacement 'model' tomorrow for her testing. I am stoked to have scored a trim and partial foil for $0! However I haven't spoken to her for a while so I am not looking forward to 2 hours of forced social skills. Or 2 hours of "restroom restrictions" (i.e. I can't just get up and go whenever I want). I think it's an even wash once I factor in the part where I have to pull myself together enough to look presentable in public.

Okay bring on the snark. Pain-stricken snark is the.best.

After a few hours of tossing and turning I decided to say screw it and just get up. So here I sit, trying to decide what to eat.

Hmm cookies n' cream ice cream, potato chips, or both?

Joining the insomniacs... Nothing will wake you up faster than having a two year old crawl into bed between you and dh, snuggling her for 10 minutes, adjusting her, and feeling her bare butt in your hand! I was half asleep when she crawled in and it didn't click why she would set a dry diaper on my chest... Click !! At least she throws her wet one in the trash and grabs a dry one before coming in!

But , sitting up to put it on her caused me to have to pee, which made my hems hurt, which has now prevented me from going back to sleep....

I bought cinnamon toast crunch today. Two boxes- they were bogo. I'm contemplating them for breakfast tomorrow, but know I never get up early enough to eat at home. I'm a mess and eat in my car every morning.

I completely forgot about that thread. My husband walked in on my taking a picture of my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch to post to her little rant and laughed at me. It was totally gratifying, though. Best bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch ever. EVER.

I could have bought Cinnamon Toast Crunch today...

I BOUGHT BOOBERRY AND COUNT CHOCULA INSTEAD.

I had a bowl of each earlier in the day and then one more before bed

No flame here. I would be the most bitter bitch alive if I had GD. I give you a ton of credit for having the self control to put your child first. I am sorry you have to deal with it. I almost failed my 1 hour GD test and I was panicked about how I would be able to control my appetite.

kimberlymacrae · September 2013

It wasn't hard at first but with false labor I just want comfort... food is the ultimate comfort!

Mur, so now I take 3 hot baths a day.

@kimberlymacrae : dang it is mean of us to talk about food so much.

I would've knifed someone by now if I had GD. Kudos for being so good at staying in control of your diet! Seriously couldn't have done it. Blech. As for your haircut, I know EXACTLY what you mean! There have been more than a few times this summer that I've put off hanging out with a friend, making a phone call, or yes, getting my hair cut because I'm dreading the forced talking. And I'm a really social, extroverted person! I hope it goes well and it isn't awkward, think how good you'll feel after

@msronzio : the Halloween cereals are out already? YESSSSSSS! Frankenberry here I come!!!!!
(Haha my autocorrect doesn't have a clue what to do with that word!)
