Someone at work stole my Starbucks mug... Again. This is the third time at this job I have left it abandoned for less than two hours and someone swiped it. Last time, it took me a month of checking the dirty dishes to get it back. It's plain white with the Starbucks logo in small, black font--nothing fancy, but I've had it since my very first post-college job.

I got my blueberry muffin and was all excited to have it with coffee, then it was gone. Poor little mug

Another thing that has been bumming me out is when I'm going to finish school. I don't regret leaving because I was miserable and completely unhappy, however now I'm wondering if I'm ever going to be able to finish. Luckily DD starts pre-k this year so hopefully that will buy me some time to go to school during the day and I'll only have to put one baby in daycare during the time but DH is supposed to deploy in about a year so I'm seriously wondering how I'm going to manage two kids by myself and nursing school at the same time. I know a lot of women do it but it's still a little discouraging.

Okay. No more pity party from me! Just wanted to let that out.
I miss having extra income from a second job too, but with my husband's crazy hours there is just no way. I applied to an amazing job when we got to this post and found out I was pregnant the day before they offered it to me. I knew with my son and baby on the way, there was no possible way. On the deployment/school thing, it will be really hard but you can do it! Don't forget the military offers free daycare hours too when your husband is deployed.

DID NOT KNOW THAT. Omg, thank you!

Mine are a millimeter from sticking to my bump *with* a bra. It's just one big lump. Attractive, yeah?! B-)

In other news, we might be trading in our van today for a newer to us van!!!! The one we've got is a huuuuuge money pit, and I'm over it. DH is the hurdle. We're "upside down" cause it's worth almost $2000 less than we owe, and he's stressed about rolling that into a new payment. I just want it GONE. Take it and burn it for all I care, I want something more reliable, dammit!!!

Mine just rest on my bump like a little shelf, but it has to be better than the pure torture of wearing a bra lately... Also, my skin is breaking out on my back, but only where the bra strap is. I'm sure the lady giving me a massage yesterday was thoroughly grossed out.

---- Or you can send out a passive aggressive company wide email. I got one a couple weeks ago from someone who was miffed their milk had been finished. Made my day.

First, mug stealers and now people that finish other people's milk?

Ew. :-&

To Whomever Has This In Their Possession:

Please return to owner. You know, the 6' tall pregnant woman who just looks fat. Her blueberry muffin is missing his companion. Furthermore, getting your own fucking mug and stop stealing my milk for your coffee. One day, I'll return from maternity leave with a half and half bottle full of breast milk for you to steal--and who will be sorry then?

Kisses!

Glad nobody stole my shit. I'm feeling extra feisty today, so I would probably go on a rampage. Good thing it's not UO Day.

Dammit, I had this ebay auction that I was 10 seconds away from winning and some bastard stole it from me when I left to go pee. Son of a bitch.

nessabeers · January 2014

So pretty sure my mucus plug just came out. Praying that this doesn't mean anything is going to happen soon. These girls can't come this soon! :-/

snmetz7 · January 2014

We have a fridge in our office that the 7 of us use. someone put their yogurt parfaits in there over night and when we came back the whole 4 pk was gone. someone from the cleaning staff took them, they are the only ones here after hours!!

Even if it did, they usually "grow" back. You can loose it a few times during pregnancy.

It also could just be a lot of regular discharge.

They have websites that automatically outbid other people the second they put a bid in. Look them up! That way you don't even have to hover over the auction-you put your maximum bid in and it goes up by whatever increment you want. Boom-the item is yours. Mouahaha

Say what? I'll be damned...

fireflygirl12 · January 2014

I'm trying really hard not to turn the "I need to find a pediatrician" thread into a why the eff are you not getting your baby all of the recommended vaccinations thread? Delayed schedules I get, allergies I get, new vaccines I get, but the vaccines that are recommended by the AAP are necessary IMO. End rant.

Thanks @fireflygirl12 and @thomas930

It was mixed with some blood and really thick and still coming (sorry for TMI). I am hoping it just rebuilds itself. Just talked to the nurse, she said it sounds like one but not to stress unless contractions start. So just crossing my fingers for the best, she eased my mind on the phone so that was good!

What would A14 do? I was just in target and they had a snugride and a graco jogger on clearance for 50% off! That equals basically what we paid for the baby trend travel system we already bought. Is the graco really worth it or should I stick with my baby trend? Don't get me wrong we like the baby trend but everyone keeps saying the graco stuff is so much better. We couldn't afford the Graco set without the clearance.

What do you ladies think?

I would go for the Graco. I really like the Graco and Chicco stuff, although I haven't used Baby Trend.

Playing catch up! @slschuerg - put effing EVERYTHING on the registry, outside of clothes. With BRU if you don't get a gift reciept, but it was on your registry, you get the registry price. Saved me a bunch of money on a couple duplicates. Even if you get 15 bottles of shampoo, you just return a few and get a gift card and put it towards something you didn't get but want. Same with towels, or washcloths, receiving blankets, snuggle blankets. I got a TON of receiving blankets, returned half, and bought my FAVORITE snuggle blanket that DS still sleeps with.

:-O How did I forget about store credit!? Gift cards are awesome and will probably come in handy once we get our own place and start buying the baby's bigger furniture. Thanks for the reminder, @ColleenSwerb!

You're a genius.

DH would probably enjoy it more than me. Pooping it's like a pass time for him.

Probably won't. I'm not comfortable giving out my number for texts and emailing someone else just doesn't make sense so I may as well just post myself.
