Ok, so I know we ALL have things on our minds, and we aren't starting new threads for them, so use this one

Rants, vents, thank yous, happy times, silly times, GIFS, and anything going on in your lives are all welcome

I had an OB appointment today (see why I don't want to start a separate thread for this?) Anyway, after being flipped in all directions lately, Junior was head down, but his head was way up high. Nothing is set yet for anything, so it's a wait-and-see game until something changes that. Since his head was up so high, I also didn't get a cervical check, and possibly won't until 38 weeks.

I commented that I hadn't felt the baby move as much as normal, although he did kick the OB while she was trying to figure out if what was down was his head. So, I got to do an NST. Well, he didn't want to cooperate, so they buzzed him. It was HILARIOUS!!! OMG, I think he was really pissed off! He went nuts, flipped all over...and I was trying not to laugh too hard!

Anyway...I guess I'm in a holding pattern. Next appointment: 9 AM Christmas Eve.

This baby is moving like crazy and it's grossing me out

Everything is making me so friggin irritable tonight. I am about to lose my shit, but there is nobody home for me to yell at.

casholmes · December 2013

I've been having trouble focusing/staying awake the past couple of days and I think it's because I'm not at work anymore. I don't have to force myself to go to work so it's hard to get up the energy to do stuff. Idk.

I'm also having trouble sleeping at night b/c DH just started his new job and it's the midnight shift, and I'm not used to being in the house all alone yet. I realize this makes me a huge baby

MrsGraham06 · December 2013

My company is doing a site-wide pot luck tomorrow. (last time we did a pot luck was 2 years ago as a fund raiser for someone whose kid was born with all types of issues, had lots of hospital bills to pay). Then we were told we couldn't do them any more (no reason given).

I agreed to make bars. I simply wrote bars, but everyone is expecting my PB rice crispy bars. Nope, can't do it tonight. It's gonna be a box mix, whipped up by the beaters, and tossed in the oven.

And I can't even really participate in the socializing, since I have a meeting. Boo.

Kc101212 · December 2013

Our nursery is finally painted after some drywall repair, couldn't be more excited to have this weight lifted off my shoulders before the holidays!

Lauren716 · December 2013

I am 37 weeks pregnant and I have not learned to wear flats to work. My feet/ankles/legs are disgustingly swollen but I will probably end up wearing heels again tomorrow. I will never learn!

Someone told me I was glowing today, little do they know I just got new blush that just so happens to be called 'Glow'

last14real · December 2013

@LadyFilet my coworkers and I bought $20 in tickets

here's hoping we become millionaires!!

MrsGraham06 · December 2013

@Lauren716 - Wow, you can wear heals? That's great! I've been stuck in tennis shoes pretty much since my BFP. It keeps the swelling down enough that I can put shoes on again the next day.

I hate socks, and closed shoes. I'd love to live in heels or flip flops!

tootsscott · December 2013

I am absolutely miserable. Friday seems so far away

ksonne · December 2013

I fell on my belly walking out to my car this morning, I slipped on the ice. I had an OB appointment today anyways, so I got an ultrasound and non stress test, too. Good news, baby looks great! He was moving around a bunch this morning, so I wasn't very worried, but hearing his heartbeat and seeing him on the ultrasound screen is always reassuring.

daltosostarby · December 2013

I'm pretty sure LO is trying to pry an exit out of my abdomen. He keeps stretching and shoving, and it hurts, a lot. Last night DH had to massage LOs foot down because I tried to press on it and he just kept kicking harder.

waittilltomorrow · December 2013

I cannot believe how clumsy I am today. I have spilt curry through the car, dropped rice all over the lounge room and have managed to spill crap all over the bench.

I feel like I'm going to be really lonely here the last week of January.

I'll hang with you, @Bookshelves! I'm bringing up the rear of the month and I don't know if this is a factor, but ALL the women in my family are late in giving birth. They have to give eviction notices.

Siblynika · December 2013

I walked out on my appointment today- my OB was stuck at a c section and running an hour behind schedule, so I checked out. She's an amazing doctor but she is NEVER on time because she is constantly being pulled or requested between the two clinics. Tardiness is just an enormous pet peeve of mine and I can't sit there for an hour waiting just to tell her that everything is good and walk back out.

Oh, and I'm almost done with the nursery

I just need to find a rug and purchase some coordinating fabric for the lazy boy I'm using as a rocker.

MiaMyPuggle · December 2013

Being with my 28 mo old son alllll daaaaay loooong is torturous. He doesn't listen, he is sick right now, he hates the aspirator, and I would feel bad if I ran away for a few hours.

I love my dog, but I HATE having another responsibility.

I'm afraid we will have a blizzard when we go to the hospital January 3. My son was born 3 days before Hurricane Irene hit. We were released the day of.

My H's uncle had brain anuerism surgery at Strong Memorial (I think that's the name) in Rochester today. Scary ordeal, but doing well. Anyone know anything about this hospital?

candypantsls · December 2013

Today I rear-ended an old lady in a Lexus who was wearing a legit Christmas sweater and Poinsetta earrings. At least she was festive and friendly as the cop took our information and exchanged it for us.

BladeDancer · December 2013

On the craptastic side of thing S/O sent me a text tonight saying he took the car in to see why it was leaking and the master cylinder had blown ALL it's seals. It cost $600 to fix. I know we needed a newer car but come on. On the up side. I finally got off my lazy butt and got the dishes done yesterday. S/O comes home and sees that they're done. I say occasionally miracles do happen. Not always but sometimes. He came over and gave me a hug and said they happen often enough.

yogamama13 · December 2013

I had a terrible day with my two kids today and it makes me so sad because this is it before the baby arrives on Friday. I really wanted to enjoy my time with them this week but they were so BAD today (well really just my four year old) and I am so tense and probably didn't handle things well. Ugh. Tomorrow is a new day and they have their Christmas concert at preschool so that should be fun. Hoping if I can get some sleep tonight I will feel better tomorrow. But I still feel awful.

PreDempsey · December 2013

I work in a bank and my particular location is closing the end of the first quarter next year. I won't be there past the beginning of January so I can't be placed somewhere else until mid way through my maternity leave. I am stressed to no end that I'm going to get screwed into a center that I won't be happy in. I'm incredibly attached to my bank and my customers and it breaks my damn heart to leave them all.

I am completely prepared to raise all sorts of hell if when I am pumping when I go back and anyone gives me any shit about taking breaks. I know it's illegal but I can see some people making it hard for me.

@miamypuggle I'm not first hand familiar with it but it's a really good hospital. I'm glad he's doing well, and hope his recovery is smooth.

Carmlvsjose · December 2013

I hate writing thank you cards!!

cnwilbur1030 · December 2013

DH and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary on Friday. DD is staying with his parents while we stay in a schmancy hotel. I'm a little bit over excited about sleeping in a king szed bed with tons of pillows!

megngregk · December 2013

First. $SETSERGE LRKJ%$I#O$5ju3o!$$%^

^^That's how I currently feel about being pregnant.

I'm tired, feel like I haven't slept in days. Oh, that's because I haven't.

I know it means nothing at 37w, but I'm hoping that I hear I've effaced and cervix is low and nice and squishy soft at my appt tomorrow.

I washed my Jeep two days ago for the first time in months, and then it snowed yesterday and already looks like crap again.

The Xbox One is my new friend. DH ordered it and had it shipped to the house so it's here when he's on leave, and I'm not letting him take it back with him. It's the only thing that listens to me when I tell it what to do.

I cannot wait to go clothes shopping.

No longer give two shits about how much weight I gain. Bring on ALL the cookies. And donuts.

Stretch marks hurt. Nobody told me that.

I love you guise.

ScarlettDahlia · December 2013

I'm really bored and cannot get comfortable in this hospital bed. I'm also really missing DH and our dog. I told him to go home since there really isn't much of anything going on.

My doctor just stopped by to tell me that the high risk doctor will make the call on if I get to go home tomorrow. It didn't even cross my mind that I wouldn't be going home.

SandFHasse · December 2013

DD is getting some molars in and has a low grade fever. It makes me sad when she cries in pain.

DH has tomorrow night off. I'm pretty excited and hoping I'll be able to get the rest of my baking done plus some cleaning.

DH has to work Christmas eve and Christmas. I know DD won't really notice. What sucks is I have to go see the IL's and my family all alone again this year on both days.

I really would like someone to come pick up the fudge I made so I stop eating it.

I realized that I need more IRL friends. Ones with kids. I just don't know how to make them.

I love coming on our BMB. I feel like when I post about stuff or reply on posts that you guys understand better then DH, my mom, or my kid less friends so thanks.

jwp325 · December 2013

@megngregk, I feel you on the cookies. We had a staff breakfast yesterday hosted by our resource teachers. I was out for dr appt and music teacher saved me a whole bag of his amazing holiday cookies. He makes 6-8 different kinds! So not sharing with DH.

I'm very frustrated with my administration. Apparently my long term sub may have been offered a full time position since we have two teachers leaving for other schools. So now it's 3 days til break and I may not have a sub for my kids which means day to day subs until they find someone. Oh and did I mention I've spent the last week working with the person who I thought was going to be my sub. Waste of time and now I feel the need to pack all my stuff up in 3 days since some random person will be in my room as opposed to someone who's been at our school since Aug in another maternity leave position. Stupid administration better get things together fast or they'll be dealing with the angry parents of 62 kids!

bellamatson · December 2013

This f*ckin heartburn is killing me. I never knew it'd get this bad!

I'm so tired of being pregnant.

RedSaffron · December 2013

I started having light period-like cramps earlier and thought "oh boy, is it going to be tonight??" It went away quickly..Maybe gas >.>

My SIL told me not to wear my necklace because my baby is gonna have the cord wrapped around her neck when she's born. Okay that superstition to me is plain out there.. I have no control if that happens to my baby and my necklace isn't going to change that...

OSUWifey09 · December 2013

I'm putting unnecessary pressure on myself to overachieve at DS' school. I sign up for every party, try to make every event and am currently making candy cane reindeer for his holiday party Thursday. A part of me feels guilty that I'm not a SAHM and can't just be there for him every moment. I've felt that way since he was born. I never want to hear, "You're never there, Mom, because you're always working." I think that would break my heart.

I'm so glad I don't have Group B strep this time around. I hated being confined to the bed my entire labor with DS because of antibiotics.

I really need to vacuum. We have fake Christmas tree pine needles everywhere. Freaking tree.

kw42775 · December 2013

My lips are so chapped they are burning.

I can't be pregnant for 3 1/2 more weeks. It doesn't sound like a long time when I think about it rationally...but I'm not really rational right now. I'm just over it.

I'm over headaches/migraines/spotty vision.

tootsscott · December 2013

I literally just had a breakdown and started crying because I cannot get comfortable, my belly is SO itchy, I can't sleep, my body hurts more than the "aches and pains" people talk about and I have INCREDIBLE pressure so low.. And "B" has started wedging their knees into my ribs again.. With force now!

kw42775 · December 2013

I'm sorry @tootsscott! I'm right here with you...

RedSaffron · December 2013

@OSUWifey09 you're the kind of mom I want to be.. with our financial situation, I know I'm going to have to work, but I don't want to miss any important events in LO's life... I want to be involved as much as I can. I give you major props for doing all of this while being pregnant.

Blistex and carmex work wonders for chapped lips. Chapstick....not so much. Just in case you were wondering.

I just found some Blistex in the drawer. FX.

juliasmama2010 · December 2013

I fell at my grandmothers house last night. She is leaving this morning to visit my OOT cousins so I took Julia over to see her since it'll be Christmas Eve before we see her again. One step out of my truck and I was on my butt. I sat there for a minute or two assessing any pain and the liquid that immediately came out. I wasn't sure if I had peed or my water broke. Turns out I peed which only embarrassed me to no end because I had to tell my gram and SIL *why* I was sitting on a towel. I cried like a second grader. I really hope today has a better ending than yesterday

Momto1goofball · December 2013

@bookshelves06 You won't be the only one around at the end of January. I'll still be here with you.

4 year olds who think they are smarter than adults and have an attitude get their mouth smacked and put in time out. I've had enough.

mj0413 · December 2013

I think we've found a pediatrician. Yay for that.

Buuuuuut I'm sooo flipping cranky these days. I feel bad about being in such a bad mood, but I just don't know what to do. I have so much to get done but feel terrible. I'm not sleeping. I agree that stretch marks hurt ~ the whole underside of my ginormous stomach itches and burns. Clothes are starting to not fit. I too hate writing TY cards, though I really am grateful! Idk what to do for Christmas for MH. I'm brain dead. I really don't know how I'm going to manage up to 7 more weeks of this insanity.

GET THIS BABY OUT!

mkat10414 · December 2013

I'm absolutely terrified that my workers comp claim isn't going to get approved. I fell on my works parking lot, but lucky for me..they don't own the lot.
My Dr's office called today about said claim, saying the company wanted a yes or no answer as to whether or not the fall has caused my issues.
The lady told me that they put that they were pretty sure that's what caused everything but it could just be normal pregnancy things. Sigh.
I didn't have any issues before the fall...why couldn't you have just said yes so I can get my $2,000 in lost wages.

Freaking out over here....

casholmes · December 2013

I don't want to make a new post for this, but a lot or you guys are hunters or married to hunters right? So what's your favorite way to cook venison, specifically tenderloin? I've got some I need to cook before it goes bad but none of the online recipes look super appealing/are too hard.
