Today I ordered my dress for my shower, I LOVE it, but it's a $150 maternity dress...I have already decided that I am am gonna wear it, leave the tags on and send it back, pretty stoked about it. Oh yes, now I want cupcakes as well...and there is no cupcake in the near future for me

Today I waited 2 hours for a guy to mix up 4 cans of paint for the house we are selling. When we got back to said house, I went to show my dad the paint color. I tilted it forward so he could see the lid and apparently the lid was never secured and it spilled all over the freshly refinished wood floors and some furniture.

Whoa.... I can't even imagine....

It's 1142... I'm wide awake. At the moment I'm contemplating calling in sick tomorrow because I'm so sore from my morning spill down the stairs. My whole body aches like I've been in a massive car accident but it was only like 3 stairs!! WTF!

The only thing holding me back is knowing that my principal will give me a passive aggressive reply if I do say I can't come in. Ugh

AnonymousMotherOfOne · February 2014

Everything from my lower back to my toes hurts.

I think I'm swelling up for some reason.

Also, I want donuts. Like, a whole dozen of fresh glazed Krispy Kremes. K.K. hating blasphemers be damned.

SomersIsles · February 2014

@bandteacher we have to at least text our asst principal after we go online and request the sub. Depending on her mood you get 1 of 3 possible replies. 1) no reply at all... 2) a simple ambiguous "k" ... Or 3) "lots of people out today... k"

Either way it messes w your head because you know she hates you for calling out even if you have a history of perfect attendance and you're on your deathbed... I hate it.

And @farmboyswife yay!!! After months of HG you have earned your time off! Don't get bored now

SomersIsles · February 2014

And to confirm, I did call out. Fuck it. I look like a possessed zombie when I try to walk because my back and sciatic nerve are waging war on the rest of my body

AnonymousMotherOfOne · February 2014

I don't have any pictures, but I just wanted to share that my cousin's wife just had her baby via c-section at exactly 40 weeks on February 5th, at 8:48pm CST. Welcome to the world, baby Faith!

Edit: I said induction; baby Faith was a c-section. My bad.

Someone please confirm that I am not being a bitch because I won't let my SIL and her 5 year old stay at my house 10 days after my 36-week twins are born....

AnonymousMotherOfOne · February 2014

@katieg314 You are definitely not. No normal person would be ready physically, or emotionally, ten days after giving birth. She's rude for assuming it would be okay, IMO.

Most definitely not! She's the bitch for asking for it!

katieg314 · February 2014

Thanks y'all. she actually booked a flight without discussing it with me because it's her spring break. I thought I was being reasonable by saying she could keep the flights but that they had to stay in a hotel. Apparently not.

If it makes you feel better, my dad has "offered" more than once to take two weeks off work and live with us, right when we come home. Every time I say I don't think I'll want visitors for more than a few hours, my stepmom chimes in and tells me about her friend who needed her mom to live with them for a month after having twins.

This has happened like, 3 times now. And they never listen.

This makes me think of @CHalePhoto.

You are NOT a bitch. I did this to my mother not too long ago and I have also deemed myself not a bitch

My reason was there are no do-overs when it comes to the first month or so with your baby... handle that time EXACTLY as you intend with NO compromises.

katieg314 · February 2014

All of our family lives across he country... so I don't have to deal with unannounced visits so that's good. However, everyone also wants to stay at our house. The only person I really want here is my mom. I am thankful, in the long term, that I don't have to deal with some crazy family members showing up randomly. I would lose it.

SomersIsles · February 2014

My dog is hilarious with his random "dog instincts"... he's trying to use this towel we threw down on the floor the idea to put wet boots on as a dog bed so he can sit and look out the front door... I'm watching him scratch and paw at the towel endlessly, only to be able to use about 10% of the towel. Just before that he took one of his rawhide bones and spent a good 10 minutes "digging" in his crate and using his blankets and dog bed to "bury" his bone. Hilarious.

All of you who are going at it the first month on your own are my personal idols! I am DYING for my parents to come stay with me for a month.... I am terrified of two on my own

Don't get me wrong... I want my mom to get here yesterday and never leave. It's the ones that will just add stress and chaos that I don't want around. I agree, I am terrified of bringing home babies and not having any help. I don't know how anyone does it, honestly. I really think dealing with guests after baby is one of the most stressful parts of pregnancy. I am amazed at how insensitive people are.

The Chew is having a baby shower today...the audience just got gifted a Motorola video monitor...i'm jealous!

rockopera · February 2014

My mom wanted to come "2 weeks before and at least 2 weeks after." Nope, not happening. I get that I complicate things by living so far away. But I want some space. There were tears when I finally got through to her that even if she was here, she wasn't going to be in the delivery room. She finally gets it, and is buying a plane ticket for April 7th or 8th.

I still don't want her for an extended period of time. If she was helpful, yes. But she's very high maintenance, wants to be mommy and won't get up out of my grill, and is also dealing with some issues of her own that make her melodramatic and needy. She is also medicated for health issues and she can't be left alone to even babysit my 2yo nephew. So no, that kind of houseguest doesn't excite me. I wish it was my mom of 5-10 years ago who would have been awesome. I love my mom and wish she was better. The whole thing makes me sad. But I'm still drawing my boundaries.

This is why we are setting up the rocking chair and crib/pnp in our bedroom at the beginning. I need a way to retreat behind closed doors.

That is totally understandable. The first month IMO is no place for guests... I remember how panicky and stressed I was I cried every day... after a month things kind of fell right into place.

But honestly I mean this with the outmost respect, I am always amazed at American women and how independent they are. In latin culture we have help all the time, and I've struggled here in Europe without any help. You guys are so independent and organized, I envy all of you!

assuming you're still referring to pregnancy... I'm not sure this is a good thing. We should, for example, compare post-partum depression rates for the various countries... :-(

ETA: clarifying, I don't think it's healthy what is "culturally expected" from women post-partum in the US.

Yeah but, I had a dream the other night that I was nursing and the next day my boob was leaking for the 1st time

I had a dream that I was getting my first stretch mark (several months ago now), and woke up with my first stretch mark... Glad that hasn't happened with each subsequent stretch mark or it's all I'd dream about.

Does this mean i should get checked? Haha
Do dreams foreshadow?

My random though last night came from reading the posts talking about Sonic. I looked at my husband last night and told him that he needed to bring me a route 44 cherry slushy when this baby is born. He asked if that was my push gift, we both started laughing.

Before I experienced it myself I thought everyone was talking about a burning sensation.... But then starting a week or so ago I felt like my baby had a knife and was stabbing me in the vag.... Ohhhhh so THAT'S what lightning crotch feels like. Whoa. lol

Oh yes it definitely feels like he is clawing his way out. Stops me dead in my tracks if I'm up and walking.

I didn't eat anything all day because I do t feel well and of course when I did eat dinner all I want to do it throw it up!

karacakes98 · February 2014

My MW pissed off LO today with a post-GBS swab cervix check. She laughed when she took her hand out and said, "She's in there going like this" as she wiggled her head around to demonstrate how baby was trying to shake her off.

Also, despite knowing that you can walk around dilated for weeks, I am now officially freaked out. I've never dilated past a 1 before labor and I'm already 2-3. My MW already gave me the, "See you next week if you make it that far!" comment. Yikes!!

My H started humming along with the Russian national anthem... I looked at him all "dafuq??"... "it's in the beginning of Hunt for Red October"

Mine did too! That explains why he knew it.
