I feel so fortunate that my baby "lets" me move her limbs when they are stabbing me in uncomfortable places and she doesn't just put them right back. I might be naive, but I really hope she stays as compliant for the next 13 weeks :-S

Miss504NOLA · January 2014

Praying for you and your family @aviola329. I hope nothing is wrong and you receive good results from your amnio.

ok, i was just about to AW about DH texting me that he's sorry he didn't kiss me goodbye when he left bible study early tonight to go have a drink with a friend. i thought it was so sweet.

then he texted me again saying he was going to go bowling now too with the same friend and that the friend (who i don't trust at all) was driving. this is post drinks. putting that together leads me to believe that DH is not sober right now- why the hell is he going bowling right now? i don't think he's gone bowling in the 3 years i've known him. and now i feel incredibly lame and horrible that he wants to go do fun things with his friends because we don't do fun things together anymore because i'm pregnant. this also means that despite the fact that i'm insanely tired i won't be able to sleep until he gets home which i can't imagine being before midnight or 1.
i have barely seen him all day (except about an hour at bible study but we were with others so we were more focused on them than each other) and he has to run sound for a wedding for most of the day tomorrow so i won't see him then either. it's been a busy week for us and all i wanted to do was snuggle up next to him and sleep. i thought i was being nice by suggesting that he spend time with his friend for a few hours, but i hate when a few hours turns into 5-6 hours this late at night.

i just can't help but wonder if he's going to do this when this baby comes too. he only does this when he hangs out with his shitty friends (this guy included) so i try to encourage him to hang out with the ones who don't suck.

and now i'm just sitting here crying because i can't stop thinking about him getting hurt or in some kind of trouble tonight.

@aviola329 huge hugs!! I am so sorry you are dealing with so much at once. Sending you and your adorable LO tons of T&Ps. Also I think it is normal to be crampy and have a tight belly after an amnio. It is very irritating to your belly and uterus. If you are really concerned, I would definitely call your Dr. Always better to be safe. Edited: because I am tired.

snmetz7 · January 2014

Wow I checked out so early yesterday and just now got caught up on the crappiness of a14s Friday. @stace after hearing what you've said about hating your industry, an your husbands level headedness (yes I'm making up words) about being completely ok for several months, I know that this is a blessing in disguise and ill keep fx that you find something you love post baby.

@avoila329 huge hugs my dear. Fx that it will all work out for you what a stressful sucky day. I also hate that you have to wait for so long for results. As to your question about leaking, if you already have lots of discharge normally the two signs to look for is a more watery discharge and you'll have to smell(I know gross) but amniotic fluid has a sweet smell.

@aprilmay9 the hobby lobby mirror is cheap plastic you don't want one.

Sisimama10 · January 2014

DD just threw open my bedroom door like the police. She's now sleeping peacefully in my bed and I've been wide awake the last hour. I miss sleep.

ZebNMichelle · January 2014

Today is moving day, and they are saying the roads are a sheet of ice. its going to be a long slippery day.

katieharpiceland · January 2014

I'm so happy it snowed last night. It covered up the murder of slightly melted then frozen snow, with a little rain on top. Walking on that is like death. Now you can walk outside without worrying that you'll break your ass. And its beautiful!! (Sorry, I still love snow.)

Emily041285 · January 2014

@pineconey I totally get where you are coming from. (Although my DH does that with work). It's been a constant argument for the 9 years we've been together. A friend in a similar situation says it all changes when they see their child for the first time. I know that seems impossible, but I really think it's true. His attitude has definitely changed since he can feel the baby move.

I would talk to him. Mention you don't care about a little bit of guy time but 5 hours is a little too much.

I had the most unpleasant dreams last night - all about really needing to pee and being in the grossest public restroom where no one had flushed and the toilets were super high and hard to climb up on and there were no doors and I was gagging from the dream smell in my sleep. What in the holy hell did I do to you to deserve that, brain? Then I overslept like whoa, and I have to work today.

Ew!!

At least you slept. Your body probably needed it and now you will be even more alert while you work

Ugh. Drs office called, apparently I'm very low in iron and have to start taking an iron supplement at night. Not only will this suck because I'm probably going to end up constipated from all the iron, I can't take my heartburn meds within two hours because it decreases iron absorption, and I can't have any calcium within four hours of taking it!! All I crave is milk. So no more milk in the evenings. Grrr.

Drink it with orange juice. The vitamin C aids in absorption of iron.

Sarahjess06 · January 2014

SO finally felt the baby kick! This little one has been being a little stinker and not kicking if he feels daddy's hand. DS felt the baby kick before SO! This little one already has an attitude haha

J&NL · January 2014

Sometimes I wish I "worked" so I could have an excuse to be babied and sit around while DH handles everything in the fucking house. Apparently to him, since he wakes up early and goes to work, it gives him the excuse to be a complete fucking ass when I ask him to get up with DD for ONCE and let me relax this morning. I can't remember the last time I got to sleep in, much less lay in bed and do nothing while he did the morning chores.

Oh and what takes the cake is he's pissy because we haven't had sex in 3 days. BOO FUCKING HOO. Keep acting like McDoucher and you won't ever get laid.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what he does and usually let him sleep in while I do everything in the mornings but sometimes I just want a break.

natpirt · January 2014

KimC85 I am taking a slow release iron pill and I actually find myself more regular these days. I also take mine right before bed.

My mom has only been in town for 14 hours and she is already driving me nuts. It's going to be a long weekend...

I'm staying with mine this weekend while DH is out of town and she insisted I stay here. But it's only been 24 hours and I'm going a little bonkers.

loooooooooooong week!!!! my goodness! i went from having very few evening commitments to being busy every night this week except 1. and i have to be somewhere in 45 minutes tonight too. agh! i need a 20 hour nap.

i started tracking my protein today more "officially" because it's been pushed so much by both my MW and my Bradley Method instructor, so i dusted off my myfitnesspal account. i told myself to not worry about calories, but really to focus on the protein and other nutrients i'm taking in. it is HARD AS HELL to hit 100 grams of protein in a day! sheesh!! though, i will say, part of that was i got bagels for a staff meeting today and got to keep the extras... meaning i've had 3 bagels today. bagels are NOT high on the protein list.
it will be interesting to see if i'm really doing as well as i thought i was before tracking or if i've been off pace for awhile. i'm committing to working hard at staying on top of the things i CAN do to stay low risk (there's a list on the bradley book including eating the right balance of foods and exercise- common sense stuff mostly) because my biggest fears are pre-e and GD, though i have no reason right now to think i have either. ok, i'm a fatty, so i've been told i'm screwed and getting GD, but whatever. my GTT is next week, so we'll see...

HUGS to all of you who had a rough day! hope it's a fantastic evening and that you get to rest and do things you love!

I've gained 40 pounds since my wedding last February, wasn't a tiny girl to begin with, and my mom had GD with all three pregnancies.. I thought I was doomed but I just passed my 1 hour glucola test, so keep your chin up, you aren't doomed at all!

reillyea · January 2014

Had High hopes for yesterday, wanted to get the crib put together but after getting about halfway through were missing bolts and of course the was already closed. Wanted to get curtain rods and curtains up but dh got frustrated and quit. Wanted to get the chandelier put up but by then dh was over it. We were able to get the dresser for the nursery though. Now just to it refinished, small task! Here's to hoping for a more productive day.

JessieAlbin · January 2014

Big hugs @aviola329 !!! How stressful. He is precious and I am sure they are putting you in the best hands available to make sure that any challenges that await y'all are met with the upmost in care. I'm so sorry you've had such a rough Friday, being poked all day is the worst!

JessieAlbin · January 2014

@stace0616 boo to your asshat ex-employer, and kudos to your excellent hubs for helping you look at this from the brighter side. Once you are in a position to do so I would definitely look into getting involved with programs that help real people get out of debt/stay on track with a budget/etc because I think you would find that really fulfilling, even if it is on a volunteer basis (my old church had a fantastic financial freedom ministry that several people with your heart/skillset found super fulfilling because they could watch these people they were helping not only better their financial situation but pay it forward without stressing, etc).. This is going to be such a blessing in disguise, I am sure of it!

So I'm the pregnant girl in traffic school today B-)

MegJ17 · January 2014

I've never been to traffic school. Is it as bad as it sounds?

fourthnlast · January 2014

I really want to get started on the room shuffling that has to occur around here to make room for the baby, but apparently I'm the only one who gives a shit.

Mind numbing.. There's always the one guy who needs to share his opinion about knowing everything!

speechie517 · January 2014

We are on day three of aqua-coplyse in WV. I'm stocked up and have a place to shower, but geez, they need to figure out how long this is going to affect us all. All restaurants and schools are still shut down. It's like a ghost town out there.

On the bright side, my great deal of a BOB Revolution was delivered yesterday, so I think I'm going to put it together today.

SAHMs of toddlers: what do you guys do all day for stimulation? On the weekends I am normally running errands and then try to do one fun outing for DS. But today, we are stuck at the house all day without DH and NO CAR! It's 10am and I think we have already played with all the toys and took a hike. I need ideas cause I am feeling lazy!

DD and I color for awhile and learn colors as we go. Reading time (acting as we go). She can play doc for an hour on me and the furbaby. By 1 or 2 we do lunch afterwards we have quiet time/nap time. Wake up and start all over again. She usually sits still for about 30 or so for Seasame street or Cailou (think I spelled it wrong) while I work on dinner.

Unpopular opinion: I hate anything that tastes like spicy peppers. Sriracha, buffalo sauce, chipotle sauce, hot sauce, etc. I'm incredibly vocal about this, as is my DH who also hates pepper-based sauces. Yet for some reason, he bought me a frozen chipotle chicken macaroni and cheese. Chicken tastes incredibly disgusting and gamey to me right now. Yet, here I am at work trying to choke this down. Worst choice ever. I didn't want to waste money, but my tastebuds are rebelling against this decision. Must think of tastier dinner ideas to balance the day out....

Girl you are a better woman than I...I would've given that nasty shit to a co-worker or left it in the freezer for the mug thief to jack, and gone out instead.

I hate when people are all 'oh, its chemicals! eek!' and 'you shouldnt eat it if you cant pronounce it!' and then dont realize that "chemical" is really just like, yeast. Or something completely harmless. To sum that up, I don't like ignorance. LOL. I had Subway while reading that atricle. Suck on that! HAHA!

FOR REAL. Like "the olives contain ferrous gluconate...of which the sole purpose is to keep the olives black." Well, "ferrous" just means "iron," and "gluconate" is just the salt of gluconic acid, which occurs naturally in plenty of organic foods, like fruit and honey. As a food additive, it's an acidity regulator.

A lot of these are not actual "chemicals", but rather organic compounds that are presented in their scientific names.

PS: The article actually made me want Subway for lunch.

Or just...pay a fine like we do here! Haha strange. Hope it goes by quickly!

This keeps it from going on your record so my insurance doesn't go up

My current situation... Give me all the pillows!!!!

JessieAlbin · January 2014

Y'all. The closer it gets to my baby shower the more my MIL blows up my phone. I know you want it to be perfect and you're so sweet but seriously. The never ending texts!!

snmetz7 · January 2014

So you know what week 27 means for me? return of the projectile vomit.

I wish baby would just tell me they don't want something BEFORE I eat it.

This is why I'm glad my sisters aren't letting me in on any of their plans. I don't even know WHEN my shower is. I just have cute clothes lined up so I can always look good if they decide to surprise me

edoliesmom · January 2014

Maybe I'm late, but has anyone else noticed that there are BMBs for all the way up to December 2014 now!? Maybe TB's new year's resolution was to stay ahead of the game or something. :-?
