DD and I are at my dads and DD is being crazy, but I refuse to tell at her bc then they get pissed at me for correcting her. So I'm saying f it let DD beat the sh!t out of them. Oh and my mom got mad bc she was going to give DD and I said no bc DD didn't eat any of her dinner. Seriously she ate one tiny piece of broccoli and that was it.

@jellysparkles I am sorry. I hope there is something pregnancy-friendly that they can do for you! hat's rough. Is it something that comes and goes or a daily thing?
It's daily... I thought it might just be an issue of not bonding with the pregnancy that would resolve after the A/S, but no such luck. From what I've read, Zoloft can be given at this point so I'm hopeful that something can be done.

>:D< that's all I can offer. Love you Jellyfish :x

Perinatal depression like a kick in the stomach today.
I'm right there with you. Off my anti-depressant for over five months and I'm miserable some days. I'm thinking about going back on a different safer one. The one I was on was not good for pregnancy. :-( Hang in there.
My non-preg depression was considered 'resolved' so I haven't been on anything for almost ten years, but it put me at a higher risk of perinatal and postpartum... aaand here I am. Blah. I'll probably email the office soon to see what they want to do.

Side note - I had some PPD after DD too, but it didn't get bad enough that I sought out help because I had a lot of spare hands to go round so I could disappear when I felt I needed to. Not so much this time.

I never had PDD with my last pregnancy. But I had some insane anxiety where I was picturing people shooting me and my daughter or accidentally dropping her off the balcony. It was intense.

I had such a poopy start to my day.. After literally being unable to sleep from 2-9am, I took the most Unsatisfying naps today trying to catch up and ended up sleeping the majority of my afternoon away. But then I had a great burst of inspiration that involved finding a wonderful community ceramics studio that is absolutely PERFECT and ridiculously affordable, a fully fleshed out idea for a painting for the nursery, and a game plan for a commission a friend of mine talked me into that I have been dreading. Win win and win!! Lack of sleep may be bad for everything else but it always makes me a better artist.. I'll take it!

(Edit for autocorrect stupidness)

I've been trying to resist the urge to buy sour patch kids ever since it was first mentioned here. I think I have to finally give in and go get them. They just look so darn good!

Ugh it was more her performance. She wants the spotlight over her team.

He makes fun of that everytime she's "coaching" she has to sing so she gets a spotlight.

Anyone know of a place to get pregnancy ornaments, or something like it? DH and I have a tradition of getting an ornament every year that commemorates something big that happened that year, and I don't want to get a baby's first Christmas ornament until the kid is actually out to enjoy it.

DH and I do the same thing every year! I actually found this cute one on ETSY just last night that we are going to order next week. I am just going to put "Baby (Our Last Name) Christmas 2013" and our names on the bottom. I thought it was adorable...

I'm so sad right now. The lady that has my old horse, Sundance, posted on FB that she tried barrel racing him today and he "pepped right up" when he saw the arena, as if he remembers the days when I used to race him. She said it was like he was on autopilot the whole time. I started crying

I miss him.

thomas930 · November 2013

@jellysparkles ((hugs)) I hope you can find something that works for you. I'm dealing with the same and I think its getting worse by the day.

This whole day sucks. I can home from a long on call day to a pissed off husband who won't talk to me and who's being just flat out mean for the first time I can remember. We've each gotten frustrated with each other plenty of times but this is the first time he's just been mean and hasn't seemed to care how upset I'm getting over all this. And I don't even know what really happened because this is an exaggerated response to something minor that happened the afternoon. I don't know what I'm supposed to do and I seriously can't stop crying

I'm sorry you are having a crummy day. I hope that everything works out for you and your husband.

Pregnant crying is intense. Last week I cried for almost 2 hours straight in public with no relief.

@aviola329 I'm sorry.

DH does that sometimes and it really sucks. Your mileage may vary, but when my DH does it the best thing for me to do is give him his space (without being cold or bitter about it). It's hard for me because I'm a kiss and make up kind of person who gets over their anger within an hour, but some people just need to cool off on their own time. I usually just read or clean or do something to occupy my mind.

((hugs)) It's an uphill battle for sure. The worst days aren't even the 'blue' ones, but the ones where I suddenly get apathetic and unfeeling about everything. I catch myself 'giving no fucks', but not in the fun/funny YOLO way. Blah.

I hate that both of you feel this way!! I tend to get seasonal depression each winter, and have taken Zoloft in the past, with minor improvement. Hoping this year I can push on through. I have days where I am just plastered to the couch, everything continuing on around me, but I can't be bothered to get up and do any of it. *hugs* to both you!

Bees Everywhere · November 2013

I've been dealing with the stomach flu. DH told me yesterday (while he was at work) that he felt like something he ate wasn't sitting well and I told him I didn't feel well either. He threw up once and I've thrown up over a dozen times, I was up all night. I was SO glad he was feeling ok today so he could watch DS and SO grateful DS seems to have missed this entirely. I really really hope DS doesn't catch this. I hope I'm better by tomorrow. I hate being sick.

Stace0616 · November 2013

Just came home to an empty house...apparently DH went out to the bar with our friends. Awesome. Tonight, I'm really not loving being pregnant. DH broke our shower shelves and couldn't fix it, so he yelled at me. Then I try to stay out of his way and get some laundry done at our new place and the key doesn't open the laundry room nor do I have coins to go to a laundromat.

Cut to 45min pregnancy meltdown mode wherein I sob over the fact that I have two pants that fit and can't just buy more (I'm a size 28 and 6ft tall). I hurt all of the time, I feel disconnected from my husband since I'm too tired to go on dates, and I feel my life as I know it slipping away.

I finally plan to go to a friend's to do laundry and he tells me we've been spending way too much time together just sitting around the apartment. So he goes to a friend's bday bar crawl without me. Yet another thing I can't/won't do until after baby. I love becoming a parent, but some days I just get so jealous that men get to just have this passive role in gestating a life. Le sigh.

@JessieAlbin I'm jealous of your day! Well, not the sleeping part, that I have enough of myself. But the rest of it sounds amazing! Hoping I get a burst of inspiration soon!

kseccomb17 · November 2013

I enjoyed most delicious dessert in a while. It was a deepfried oreo Sunday. DH and I got to spend quality time together. Love him. Had a wonderful night.

tinamorgan · November 2013

I don't really have anything to say. I just wanted to take part in the most epic thread ever!

Oh and breathe right strips are the best thing ever!

MrsL13 · November 2013

We are at DH's friends house for house party. The six of them are pretty drunk or asleep and I'm just sittin here eating chips and pretzels. I really thought we would spend more time together tonight but instead I'm sitting here and he's playing pong with his friends. Blah.

Also, I really want Hersey kisses with almonds. Or just a Hersey bar with almonds.

Twirple · November 2013

Just watched all the Pixar Short films while eating popcorn with DS and DH. Not a bad way to spend an evening!

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

I wonder if TB is really going to shut us down at some point??? And I REALLY want to know what the real record is!

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

Ok, this is the first time so far in pregnancy when I just....can't....get....comfortable!!! I'm not comfortable on the couch, I'm not comfortable in the cushy chair, I'm not comfortable lying on my back in bed, which I knew would happen but man I was dreading it, because how am I going to read before bed while laying on my side?!? Grrrrrraaaaaahhhhh!!!! Four more months of this?!? I thought 2nd tri was suppossed to be honeymoon time?!?

Bluebird2318 · November 2013

That is the story of my pregnant life. 3:40 AM and I am still awake in bed.

( DD wakes up around 9. I am doomed.

That sucks bluebird! As someone who's struggled with insomnia all her life, I sympathize. Hope you get some Zzzzzz's soon! Saw logs, baby bluebird!

Ugh same here. DH is talking to his friend who is in our car and we still have a half an hour drive ahead of us.

katieharpiceland · November 2013

Major hugs to everyone who was feeling like poop yesterday. Also, major hugs to the ladies experiencing depression. I hope your doctors can give you something to ease the symptoms a bit.

@KimC85 I always think the easiest one pot meals are hearty soups. Seems we've had some AWESOME recipes left on the board. Maybe check them out?

I was sleeping crappy for many nights and caved and took a unisom. Totally worth it to get myself back on track.

fourthnlast · November 2013

For the first time in months, I slept all night! Finally!!!

thomas930 · November 2013

Thanks for all the hugs ladies. I'm feeling better this morning than yesterday so I'm hoping that means today is a good day.

------On a more happier note---------

We are getting new living room furniture, its my early Christmas present!! It will be here Dec. 3rd. Yay to finally having something thats new and ours! We've had hand-me down furniture for about 7 years now

katieharpiceland · November 2013

@thomas930 ooooh! Cool!!! :-) Congrats. New stuff is fun!

katieharpiceland · November 2013

^^ LOL Brilliantly awesome in the worst way.

Mamamonzo · November 2013

I had the worst night ever. My right shoulder feels like it's going numb I couldn't sleep on my right side because it hurt so bad. I cried myself to sleep. Poor DH felt helpless and was ready to go to the ER. I ended up on the couch for the night which means my back is killing me now!!

thomas930 · November 2013

@karissamonzo Sorry about the rough night, ((hugs))

katieharpiceland · November 2013

Its 1:45 PM and I should take a shower and do something, but its my first day off in a month. In PJ's on the couch, watching tv.

JessieAlbin · November 2013

@colleenswerb ouch, I hope your head cooperates soon!

Mamamonzo · November 2013

@colleenswerb blissful!! Minus the headache!

JessieAlbin · November 2013

I am judging the shit out of the ladies sitting behind me waiting for the previews to start for Hunger Games. Your baby is making noise because it is bored, and you suck at life for bringing your child to disrupt everyone else's movie experience. That baby does not give one fuck about this movie, get a sitter or stay the eff home!
