Random thought of the night: When I hear someone say, "For all intensive purposes," they immediately go down a notch in my mental book. Because I'm snobby like that.

I love that Washington has so many different climates !!
Do you ever come over to the west side? We go over to sun lakes in the spring to go camping; although probably not this year. And I love me some Yakima fruit stands.
rarely. when we go west we usually choose portland.

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
I think I'm going to have to ask my doctor for something to help me sleep. I've been able to keep my mind off everything during the day but at night i lay here and feel him move and the fear and anxiety set in, thinking about the worst and what the amnio results could show. I cried myself to sleep in DH's arms last night and I'm well on my way to that again tonight. I'm not going to be able to function like this for another two weeks.
Sorry for being such a debbie downer
hugs! benadryl? it usually helps me....
ETA: it's also the only "real" medicine i've taken while pregnant.

Aw, honey. You don't need to apologize. I've got Pregsomnia up the wazoo and it's the least fun thing ever. And you have way more to fret about than I do. I hate when all those mental demons come out to play at night. ZzzzQuil really has helped me. It's benedryl in a different packaging, dosed to help you sleep. I don't get fabulous sleep on it - I never do well with drug-induced sleep - but I am able to conk out and rest. Even if it isn't as rejuvenating as it could be, it's better than staying up and listening to my thoughts spin. Pre-baby, Melatonin was my go-to for insomnia, and it's way more natural and I got GOOD sleep on that. I don't know if it's ok for pregnancy though, it's a homeopathic supplement.....hmmmm, something to ask my doctor about, as I could use a non-medicine sleep aid myself.
Take care hon! I'll pray for you to get some good Zzzzzs soon.

I let DH hit the sack early tonight cause he was exhausted, and took care of bedtime duties for the munchkin (which includes snuggling on the couch with a cup of warm milk, then a story, then rocking and cuddling in the glider in his room until asleep). I was SO excited to get DS to bed quickly so I, too, could get some extra sleep since I'm also pretty beat (LOOOOONG two-year-old-tantrum-filled day of joy). Needless to say, the boy fell asleep on me whilst drinking his milk, and I dozed off with him. I just woke up from the couch after 3am, and put the kid to bed. Happily, I'm in my nice warm comfy bed, but now I'm wide fuckin awake. Oy.
i would just like to say that we saw a rutabaga at the store today- it is definitely smaller than a cauliflower. who the hell made these fruit/veggie decisions anyway?!
My SO takes the fruits/veggies comparison so literally that I can't even tell him which one I am anymore. He annoys the shit out of me with it! He is always saying, "a large lettuce or a small lettuce these things vary in size" or "an organic cucumber or regular? The organic are so much bigger." It makes me want to scream. So DD and I check the fruit veggie ALONE now!!

My DH does the EXACT same thing! We have a dry erase board on the fridge and I update it every week. Every Tuesday night after he comes home from work, "that can't be right! Blah blah blah" :-@
Oh. And then when we go to the grocery store and in the produce section, he always has to try and prove his point. Not sure if he realizes that I'm not the one coming up with them.
Well, I woke up about an hour ago to my husband yelling in pain because he GOT STUNG BY A SCORPION! I was throwing back the sheets trying to figure out what bit/stung him, and I started bawling when I saw it was a scorpion. I didn't really know much about them and kept asking if we needed to go to the ER.
We're staying with an older couple we go to church with since we're in town for my husband's classes, and the lady woke up to see what was going on. She gave me a magnet that had the alleged poison control center number, which turned out to be a rewards hotline. I won a Bahamas cruise just for calling, y'all. <:-P Right.
Anyway, Googled the correct number and found out they're typically harmless. He took some Advil and seems to be okay. A few minutes after he was stung he sweetly said, "I'm just glad it was you and not me. --I mean, me and not you." :-?
So, that's how my morning has started. :-bd

Brendan Fraser is in The Mummy, but I didn't think The Rock is. I know there was a second movie, but I'm not as familiar with that one. I just figured scorpion... The Rock, The Scorpion King. :-?? Those all may be terrible contributions to Hollywood, but I regretfully admit that they all hold a nostalgic place in my memory. "> Except the Biebs. No thank you.
Just scheduled my son for a CT scan tomorrow afternoon..dreading it! How do you get a 23 month old stay still for it? Luckily that'll be my husband's job while I sit in the waiting room

Tell him to sit still because he's entering a rocket ship?

I remember being at children's hospital and the little ones getting a tranquilizer pill so that they stay still. Do they not do that?? That's going to be tough!!

Nope no tranquilizer pill that I know of, the neurologist told us we could give him some pain meds to make him sleepy. Glad my husband will be the one in there and not me! He normally listens better for daddy anyway...daddy is cooler.
Peanut was a total jerk today. Head down facing my back! They had me on my head,upside down,thumb in my ear, saying the alphabet backwards trying to get a face picture... Nothing! Stubborn child! He's measuring at almost 30 weeks I'm 28 weeks on Wednesday. Short legs and huge belly! Still got a chunker on my hands!! The best news is......... No more cervical checks!!!!! We can have sex once a week and I can do yoga! All restricted activities have been lifted!!!!!! Wooo hooo! They still say I won't make it to 40 weeks but we're officially out of the woods!!!
@SLSchuerg One of my biggest fears!! I check the sheets every night before getting into bed! I used to be terrified of spiders in the bed (and I still am cuz the damn black widows are everywhere), but I had a friend who got stung while sleeping and now I'm scared of that. Its a miracle I sleep at all! We do have pest control spray our yard monthly and that has cut down significantly the scorpian sightings! Hope your husband is feeling ok.
@Dani+California I'll take the cat!! But only if she comes with the awesome stroller.
my glucose test isn't the drink- i have to eat 2 eggs, 2 pieces of toast with butter, orange juice, milk (subbing cheese instead) then go get tested in 2 hours.
*sigh* our icemaker has been broken for a week and DH has attempted to fix it about 4 times. i keep asking him to just call the apartment maintenance to come work on it and he insists every time that "this" is the time it's actually fixed.
it's not. it's not fixed. it's still very broken and i'm THIS close to ordering ice cube trays on amazon...

April 14 August Siggy Challenge- "This time last year.."
J&NL I've been trying to sleep for the past two hours, but I don't think I ever actually dozed off. I think I was psyching myself out because I kept feeling random shooting pains over my body. The lady of the house kept saying things like, "I bet you wish this was your last night here," and "I bet you wish you could go somewhere else huh?" In my head I was like "YES! Get me out of here!" But she felt so bad that I didn't really say anything. lol
@TallaB Thanks, I think he's feeling okay. He was able to put his shoe on without any discomfort, and he even said it just feels numb now. I guess that's a good thing.
@Jessieann1020 I didn't either! There was a church camp I used to go to, and one of the first things they would tell us is to watch for scorpions in our dorms. They were low quality, old dorms, but the house we're in is pretty nice. I never expected scorpions to be able to find their way in here! Hopefully we can sleep peacefully tonight. :-S

Sweet baby Jesus do I miss sleeping on my stomach.
Possibly stupid question-sometimes I accidentally 'flamingo' sleep...half on my stomach, half on my side, one leg brought up close to me and the other straight down. The baby usually wakes me up, kicking and wriggling until I move. Should I be avoiding this position? I feel like I'm crushing it and it's like 'OH GAWD GET OFF ME HEIFER' and I get momentarily worried when I wake up.
I do the same thing and usually end up tipping back of my stomach a little - mostly because its hard to sleep while baby is repeatedly punching me. But, I really don't think its harmful...I would assume its mostly just easier to feel baby in that position because its pushing you further in. Baby could just move up an inch!

I sleep the same way... Do you prop a pillow under you?

I was just wondering this exact thing at 4 am this morning.

Same here! I miss it so much. I do the same thing too but it usually doesn't last long because he will kick and roll until I roll over. The best thing I could find was laying halfway onto my pregnancy pillow so that way most of the pressure is on my side and not the middle of my belly. It still doesn't last long though.
