So apparently ladies in okc were very busy 9 months ago....tonight at the birth class we were supposed to take a hospital tour. They didn't have any free rooms.

I wish I could remember what happened in March that might have stirred up the desire for sex around here!

OMG! Etsy is dangerous! Now, my baby needs a name, because I NEED this blanket (and it comes with the name embroidered). I will take the first name suggested...GO!!

Aaaaaahhhhhhh! I Love it! I am OBSESSED with turtles and that is just too damn cute! Thank god I am already broke or else all the money I did have would end up in Etsy sellers hands!

For all us school ladies I need help. I have a few books that I have to buy this semester... what is a good site to purchase from?
I like amazon. They let you rent for even cheaper.

This. You can rent from Chegg too and compare prices. But I prefer Amazon because we have prime and I get my books in two days.

My book is a new edition so it was selling everywhere for $250+ even used it was $175. Rented it from amazon from now til June for $17 dollars.

We are house hunting tomorrow and I am so excited! I really hope one of these places knocks our socks off!
I think I am one of the guilty who have been kinda MIA lately on here. Been beyond busy trying to get my currently place vacuumed, dusted and scrubbed down so we can eventually bring a baby in here. Along with that we have been scouring the internet finding houses to look at. So much going on my head is spinning!

OH and the tacos DH is whipping up are ready! OLE!

Sisimama10 · January 2014

I can't keep up with RTT and school! I have been checking in at night and when I can't sleep, but I'm missing so much! On the bright side I have finished all my assignments due up through April already. I'm working like a crazy person to be done with this class well before the baby comes!

For the first time ever, I've skipped 144 new posts. Noooo I'm slacking! Some bitch posted on my Facebook wall today that a lamp sitting on my (LONG) dresser that doubles as a change table is 'too dangerous' for a baby. She said 'by one month old TOPS the baby will be grabbing that.' She then followed it up with 'You'll learn quickly that safety is more important than looks. Welcome to motherhood.' I. Will. Fucking. CUT. YOU. Guess who isn't on my Facebook anymore. I hate people.

Bitch, please. I had a lamp on DD's dresser the entire time I used it as a changing table (about 9-10 months I guess, not sure exactly) and guess how many times she grabbed it? Yeah, zero.

How does she know you don't have the lamp positioned where baby's feet will be? Can't grab with the feet unless you give birth to a monkey! Some people are just morons.

I know and the best part was I accidently checked out under my moms account instead of mine and she won't let me pay her back for it when I told her. Even better

Lindsay808 · January 2014

So my craving for the day is..

Sun. The smell of sunscreen. Swimming in some type of body of water. Drinking something fruity/vodkay.

Are the local news stations as cruel to you guys as it is here? The news anchors talked about our freezing temps then showed pictures and current weather in Hawaii and other destination places. Wtf.

Winter, I'm so over your shit.

I also had a couple little baskets of changing necessities and various extras as well as a wipe warmer on the dresser. The horror. THE HORROR!

Guy on my FB: heard you're sick- guess you should have gotten the flu shot
Me: um I have a sinus infection, not the flu
Guy: the flu shot could have prevented that

((And then my brain exploded)

Sisimama10 · January 2014

Lol can the flu shot prevent everything?? I must get one every year!

Duhhhh you can only get sick with the flu this time of year! It's really the only possible thing that's making you feel like total ass. What else could it be! Silly piney! [-(

Bluebird2318 · January 2014

@pineconey What would we ever do without Facebook experts to keep us in line? If it weren't for FB I would have no idea how to raise my kid or who to vote for!

Sisimama10 · January 2014

21 degrees tomorrow is going to feel balmy compared to our -14 today. Whoo hoo!

pineconey · January 2014

I just... Agh. Ok, maybe some people can't tell the difference between different ailments, but I have no flu symptoms, and I know that the air pollution advisories we have been under for weeks have left me with sinus issues in the past! I honestly don't even think I "caught" anything- just an unfortunate side effect of already irritated nasal passages due to pregnancy mixed with the pollution.
But yeah, it's probably the flu...

Glad you ladies can be my happy place in a world of imbiciles. He's the same one that told me my baby or I would probably die because I'm having a home birth without a doctor. Apparently the witchcraft my midwife plans on performing is inadequate.

Or maybe you are being punished for choosing a home birth with this horrible sinus flu... Have you considered that??

Invite him over and once he's sitting on the couch tell him that's where you gave birth! Just to freak him out O:-)

Bluebird2318 · January 2014

Just caught up a bit on older posts.

@snmetz7 I'm sorry you had a scare! So glad everything is okay!

@mamamonzo Baby Monzo, you are an April baby. APRIL. Please behave as such and stop scaring your mama!

spano41 · January 2014

So i know I've never posted in RTT before so I guess I'm a lurker (honestly, it kind of overwhelms me because I can never keep up and there are always a hundred new posts). But I just needed to tell someone that I just got a nice changing table off Craigslist for $25. Score!

mrscrcalli · January 2014

Hi ladies!
Thanks for all the PMs of concern, I've just been taking some time to handle some family stuff and just haven't been feeling very "bumpie" lately.

Hope to catch up this week..
Xoxoxo

PPH to you all :x

Just went through the things people are looking forward to thread - do people really not know most cheese is pasteurized in the US? Or they give it up anyway?

It's just really upsetting me to think that anyone is suffering from needless cheese deprivation.

This! Nothing could keep me from my feta!

Stace0616 · January 2014

I WISH I could buy unpasteurized cheese in the US! I had this amaaaaaazing cheese in London--it was so soft that it weeped when I cut it. Of course, it would never be allowed in the US, so pasteurized Brie it is!

It's not completely illegal- you can find unpasteurized cheese in small specialty shops. I used to work in one.

Cappuccino1987 · January 2014

Jumping in the random discussion with randomness. I NEED a piece of pie and I hated pie before pregnancy. Never touched it or had a desire for any flavor now all I can think about is pie. Particularly with rhubarb and blueberries on it. Who the hell craves rhubarb?! Dammit I need to get my hands on some rhubarb and a great baker.

michaelad3 · January 2014

Well I'm proud of myself. I washed more than 2 dishes, but my kitchen is still a disaster. Small victories though

Twirple · January 2014

@michaelad3 I understand. My goal is to leave my house in better shape than it was in the morning. Today that meant folding three blankets and putting away DS's laundry.

pineconey · January 2014

I'm fed up with DH incurring late fees for paying bills late. I NEVER in my life had paid a late fee until I got married. Ever. DH lived with his parents until we got married, so he'd never paid a bill. In the spirit of helping him learn how to be a real adult, I've let him take charge of paying the internet and utility bills. I just questioned him on why the electric bill was so high and he said it was because he paid for 2 months and a $10 late fee. I'm sorry, but at this point, with him working 15 hours a week and us paying for him to take classes and me working full time in nonprofit for about 8 more weeks (then no income) $10 here and there on carelessness costs a lot. I feel bad giving him a hard time about it right now because he's got a lot on his plate, but the reason he has so much right now is because he's been slacking for months. He's a truly fabulous guy, he's just got to figure out how to prioritize, and I'm sorry, but grand theft auto doesn't make the list any longer.

pineconey · January 2014

And I was just reading in one of our books about how pregnant women are more likely to get worked up about stuff like that, and I'm trying so hard to keep my cool tonight. He's just got to start providing better financially or I'm going to have a breakdown.

rockstarlaw · January 2014

@pineconey - hugs to you. I hope that gets better. That's tough.

rockstarlaw · January 2014

2 in the AM and I am sucking at the internet. Keyboard for my iPad isn't working and typing from my screen is taking it out if me!

So apparently DH is getting circumcised on Friday. We're team pink so I have no idea where this came from. I told him its bad timing. He can't have sex for 6 weeks, and by then it will almost be baby time. It's not like he can switch it though, apparently he's been on the waiting list for a few years.

Wait, there is a waiting list for circumcision?!

katieharpiceland · January 2014

1 hour of sleep. Maybe that was a worse idea than no hours of sleep. I always go back and forth on those things!

I must be pregnant all the time because stuff like that always stresses me out. I get depressed when I think of all of our financial issues, meanwhile DH is just living la vida loca! Not a care in the world!

J&NL · January 2014

@smetz and @mamaronzo - glad everything is under control. Keep those buns baking!

Now that I'm all caught up. DH just left for the field until tomorrow night. Transferred DD to our bed in hopes she will sleep in again. Now I'm wide awake. Ugh! It's weird how he can get on my last nerves every night but when he leaves for a few days, I miss him the second he's gone.

I've been freaking out way more about these kinds of things too lately.

MamaFantastic · January 2014

Our birth plan is AWESOME. There's nothing revolutionary in it, but my husband made it look adorable and I am so super excited about showing it off once we finalize everything
