In retrospect I hope that wasn't creepy to say... But it was a compliment

olenkapdx · December 2013

I was nodding off in a work meeting today and got woken up by my first kick viewable From The Outside! Sooo freaky!!

Ok, I'm gonna AW my husband for a moment, because he's a diamond in the rough.

I've been kind of crazy today. Like, not making sense jumbled up crazy. It's been a long evening, and at the end of it we were driving home and I asked him, "I haven't been horrible to live with, have I?"

"Nope. I mean, it hasn't been easy, but nothing like I was preparing for."
".......What do you mean 'preparing for?' What was there for you to prepare?"

"I just tried to get myself ready to be there for you as much as possible, and you haven't needed as much as I thought."

"How so?"

"Well, I thought you'd be a lot sicker. I mean, I know it wasn't easy for you for a few months, but I thought I would have had to do more for you, getting remedies and holding your hair and stuff. And I thought about now you'd be needing me to do more for you, and be more available to you. I thought you'd need way more reassurance and loving. I just thought there would be more need and I haven't had to do as much as I'd thought I would."

"But I do need all those things...."
"Oh I know! And I'm not saying I expected you to be helpless. I know you're a tough chick (What I call myself when I'm joking about my awesomeness) but I knew you'd need me, so ever since we found out we were pregnant I'd been preparing myself for what to expect so I could take care of you, and be as available to you as you needed me to be. You haven't needed much, so most of the time I just try and love on you so I feel like I'm doing something useful."

Melted my heart. I love this man. I do.

All I need at this moment is a giant pillow. One that is bigger than me, and has a hole cut out in the middle, all so I can lay on my stomach.

Eija3014 · December 2013

@Sarahjess06 make a platform out of smaller pillows with a hole in the middle? Maybe cover it in a blanket and tuck in the sides to help all the pillows stay in place a little?

BiggerinRealLife · December 2013

Anyone else's kid just kick in one place? I mean, I feel baby kicking and moving elsewhere, but there's this one spot it likes to sit in and kick, especially at night, over and over. I can tell it's the same place because the nerves there are getting raw. It's seriously annoying, and I wish I could get baby to move over and KNOCK IT OFF.

irisheyez7 · December 2013

OK. Finally read through the kegels thread. Still cracking up! I am torn though....I cannot make up my mind if she is just a really dim 21 year old or if Ashton Kutcher is going to jump out all of sudden and yell "Oh shiiiiiiiitttttttteeeeeee, ya'll just got punked"!

irisheyez7 · December 2013

Oh and what's with all the threads being brought back from October...and MOAR WEIGHT GAIN...and scabies....Oh and I was going to name my child Aquarium Bumble! You STOLE IT! I hate you for lyfe!

Mine have an ice day too but their parties were today. Plus DS left his boots and snow pants at school.

Mamamonzo · December 2013

Ummmm DH just sent me a picture of a puppy and said our new friend. I'm having a panic attack. I hope to god he didn't just adopt a puppy 4 months before we have a baby. I may have to kill him. He isn't answering me!!!!!

Lindsay808 · December 2013

I cringe a little when I read the word "baybay" wish we could hide threads.

J&NL · December 2013

I haven't felt the baby move since yesterday and I'm a little worried. I'm going to make some coffee to see if he will start stirring.

katieharpiceland · December 2013

4 hour recording session..finished...4 hour rehearsal starting in an hour. I feel like I'll never make it. My neck can turn 30% of what it can normally turn. To be fair, this morning, it was 0%. This week needs to END! (Tomorrow night at midnight, I'm FINISHED!)

@Rogue237 My husband's best friend is visiting from another province, and bought him a copy of He-Man & She-Ra he saw in a DVD discount bin somewhere as a joke. They are now drinking in the basement, laughing their asses off and all I hear is *shhhwinggg!* and cheesy music. Made me think of you! Haha Ah my nerdy husband. Too cute.

@dani+california - I somehow missed this, but YEEEEAAAHHHH!!!! Keep it for your LO. It teaches good values! Look how well I turned out

J&NL · December 2013

Ugh thank god. He finally made one little kick after me sitting here waiting for the past hour. He's normally so active at night when I'm trying to fall asleep and in the mornings when I drink my coffee so I was a little worried. The anxiety in me thought that I had squished him because I have been lying on my stomach at night. *whew!*

pineconey · December 2013

Thank God it's the last day of this week from hell. Just gotta push through, then 2 weeks off!!!!!!

Mamamonzo · December 2013

I've come to the conclusion that today in general people are dumb.

Emily041285 · December 2013

Well round 1 of flights today is done. LO did not cooperate and felt the need to kick me in the bladder the entire flight. But I couldn't get up due to bad weather. Crossing my fingers round two is better.

Also, judging the hell out of this mother behind me who has been yelling at her maybe 6 year old son for not sitting in his seat. You're in the terminal. If the kid needs to blow off steam now is the time to let him!

BiggerinRealLife · December 2013

@WifeofaComposer I woke up thinking of you. Not in a creepy way, but because it's my last day of teaching before vacation, so I woke up all, "One day more....another day another destiny....this new rending road to Calvary....."

Lindsay808 · December 2013

Watched "I didn't know I was pregnant," and this lady was on bc throughout the pregnancy. Whaaaat. Wouldn't that be ...bad?

Omg, those do exist because my massage therapist said she is ordering one specifically for me! Yipee!

I'm in an upscale shopping center looking for the store my little sister loves to get her a gift card - and I just passed a Pottery Barn Kids! I didn't realize it was a separate store, not just line of PB.

Because of A14 I'm totally going in to check out the sheets and use the bathroom.

As much as I make fun of it, I really really want the Peter Rabbit sheets for my nursery. I may have to bite the bullet and give in to my inner WASP.

Sure, when puppy and baby are on opposite sleep schedules I'll have you come babysit for a while.

After DH and I did it last night, he kissed me on the forehead and said "you're the best" and passed out. Thanks for the BJ and beer idea!

I really probably should shower.

But I don't waaaaaanna

This!! I'll pick my warm bed over a shower almost any day!

eireyes · December 2013

Ugh. I hate working the few days before Christmas. There is NOTHING going on here at the office - I'm struggling with things to occupy my time :-w

TallaB · December 2013

I get to see baby today!! Off to the OB for another US, as we couldn't get a good heart view last time. Crossing fingers for 4 chambers and some good blood flow!

pineconey · December 2013

It's snowing here, which is EXTREMELY rare. I'm super giddy, because I'm from the Midwest and I love my snow!!
Now if only the people who lived here knew how to drive in snow....
I mean this in the least racist way possible, but we also happen to have a large Hispanic population (LOTS of migrant workers) who aren't driving legally as it is, and who have never driven in this kind of weather. Add that to the huge population of people who already only drive in snow 2-4 times a year and you've got some interesting driving fun times.

cgoldian · December 2013

I just ate so many cookies that I need to take a nap. Immediately.

Well, you know how Michigan snow can be as well and people STILL don't know how to drive in it here. Whyyy.

michaelad3 · December 2013

I've been at work for just a little over an hour and I've eaten 4 cookies and a piece of fudge. 3 different kinds of cookies, and I want another!

pleasantsarg · December 2013

Dear appetite,
Please calm down.

Yours-

Tferr02 · December 2013

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers yesterday! My sis is doing much better now, her brain was fine and the spot hasn't grown! She somehow had a bad reaction to eating mashed potatoes and passed out and had a seizure? Who knew mashed potatoes could be so dangerous?

Stace0616 · December 2013

Sorry I had to do REAL work for a hot minute! Yes, they have adorable green and cream colored Peter Rabbit sheets. Though, I'm still sticking with my baby blue and white striped wall idea, I think. Peter's jacket was blue so I should be good. I'm a total Anglophile so I told DH he had a choice between a Harry Potter or Peter Rabbit nursery. Guess which one he chose lol?

Though maybe I should hold off on walls until we get our Level 2 ultrasound on 1/9... Baby is still head down with his back to us, so no one has been able to get a good shot of his goods. Nor have I felt much kicking. It's been days! Though we ARE driving to MIL's for Christmas tonight so I'll just go heavy on the fudge and coffee to wake him up a little

All this extra fat cushioning is probably making him TOO comfy in there!

Tferr02 · December 2013

Tomorrow morning is my Christmas!!!! My husband is driving down through the night and will be here tomorrow morning!! I haven't seen him for 4 weeks now and I can't wait. An entire week of vacation in FL!

snmetz7 · December 2013

We are celebrating Christmas with my mom tonight! I know she bought me maternity clothes (we went and tried them on to make sure they fit) but I don't know which ones she ended up getting. I'm so excited t have clothes that are going to fit perfectly!
My dad stopped by last night to drop off our gift, A CRIB

so excited to put it together this weekend and finally look like we have something going on in the nursery.

Aww, sorry

They had their parties yesterday. I did read an email from the school that the janitor was going to open the school this afternoon if anyone forgot anything.

They cancelled all the schools here. It's been upper 30s and rainy. The Yooper in me is headdesking. (They're whining that it's icy. I want to just yell, "It's not even cold enough for that!" It was a little slushy/sloppy for a while, but seriously. This is Michigan.) /rant

Michigan here too, I have no idea why school was cancelled today. The roads were a little slushy, but I have been out and about all day with these kids and it boggles my mind why it was cancelled. I was really looking forward to having nothing to do all day today and enjoying my last day before they were home for two weeks.
