How is it March already? I am having a baby this month!! I am so not ready. Instead of packing my hospital bag or cleaning my house, I think I'm going to go to the circus today. Denial is nice

@katieharpiceland I don't think you're being irrational at all! If you can't pronounce it don't use it! DH suggested a name that I had to ask him how to spell it so I immediately vetoed it! We still haven't decided on a name. Good luck!
Yeah, if I couldn't spell or pronounce it easily I wouldn't use it either.

I always almost use "Shan king" but then I realize that's "shanking" and I don't want people to think I'm an ex con that stabs people with sharpened toothbrushes.

So we have a list of errands to run before DS nap time so my DH texts me get ready while I shower so we can leave right after. As a SAHM, I would like to go the bathroom by myself one morning and get ready in peace, but whatever. I walk into our bathroom to grab something and my DH is soaking in the bath tub. SERIOUSLY?!?...and he doesn't understand my annoyance.
You know what I can't stand about motherhood? Social groups. It seemed like a great way to connect with other moms and make new friends, but now it's just a bunch of catty, cliquey, pain in the ass obligations I cannot keep up with nor want to take any part in. I'm not a "club" type of person. I don't like "club" type of people. Maybe I'm cranky because I'm sick, but why is this a thing now?
@kcp913 glad your LO decided to stay put! Even though having practice runs at labor buddying is fun (and mildly panic inducing) let's bake these babies a while longer.
@Eireyes, LO and I had a talk last night when we got home. Hopefully she isn't trying out her teen years already and will do as I asked and stay put.
In other news, I must be the worst pregnant woman ever, because other than some tightening in my stomach and back pain, I felt fine and had no idea I was having contractions at all, let alone 2-3 minutes apart.
Naah, definitely not the worst pregnant woman ever - you're way ahead of all those "I didn't know I was pregnant" women. Plus, you still noticed the contracting - I had a coworker that didn't realize she was in labor until she practically was pushing the baby out - in her kitchen might I add... We all tried to tell her that she was probably in labor and should get checked because she'd felt crappy and nauseous for a day before!
Had awesome Indian food last night. Then 2 hours later was regretting it... Ugh thank goodness for Zantac 150. I think that would've been a 10 on the coming back up scale! Before pregnancy I didn't understand indigestion and nausea went hand in hand. It's a cruel game.

Ugh I'm know. My mom nor my sister got them, but these boys are marking their territory. It's pretty disgusting how purple my stomach is. Talk about badge of honor.
I know! The NST nurse commented on them the other day (she wasn't rude and I was not at all offended). They have almost reached my boobs.
I really don't understand how some of us get ripped to shreds and others remain 100% unscathed. Is skin that different?!

@ashleypixie to you mean internet or irl? Confused.
I guess real life. This isn't even something I've heard of online, because why would you be a part of a group just to branch off into little private groups? In real life it seems there's a group for everything! I'm sure I can find a "Tues night mommy wine, leftover lasagne and painkiller group" that's got a waiting list. It seems like there's more inclusivity in being alone and part of nothing. And I just don't think it's going to be good for the bump.
DH made scrambled eggs with cheese, sausage, onions and peppers AND waffles with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast. Without being asked. I'm both insanely happy and a little suspicious.
So had a pretty scary experience tonight. We went out like we do most friday nights nothing too exciting, started feeling a little off and decided to just head home. I usually drive and even though wasn't feeling great I still drove home. Well, I guess my BP bottomed out and I almost passed out while driving down the interstate. Luckily I was able to pull over before anything happened.
Put a call into my midwife and talked to her about what happened. My BP usually runs low so she thinks that it dropped causing the near passing out. Baby boy is still moving around and by then I was feeling better, so she just wants me to take it easy this weekend and I'm not allowed to drive until at least monday (as long as it doesn't happen again). But if it happens again I'll have to go in for monitoring.
Yikes! I'm glad you were able to pull over before anything happened. I hope you are able to rest this weekend. *Hugs*
One thing I learned from being young (21) and being pregnant with DD is you definitely find out who your true friends are. I pretty much only had one friend after I got pregnant because I could no longer do the "fun" stuff like partying. However, if I had to choose I would much rather have one good friend than a bunch of "friends" and I have yet to find someone like that here in TN so I'm a hermit. I don't really have interest in hanging out with people unless I truly enjoy their company. So far.. Meh.
And on the mom social groups... No thanks. TB is good enough for me.

Maybe that just means you will have a relatively easy labor! Glad you're home and all is well.
It's not even noon and DH and I just got into a huge fight over really stupid shit. Now I'm sitting in the bathroom crying like big hormonal mess. Great f-ing start to the day.
AW: I get to spend the day with these little munchkins! A14, meet my twin nephew and niece who turn 1 next month. Those faces totally make barely sleeping last night worth it! Ever since I got to their house, James has been kicking like crazy--it's like he's ready to get out and join the party with his cousins It's going to be so awesome having these kids a year apart. I see lots of fun family vacations, joint bday celebrations and reunions in their future!
My house is not ready for this baby! His whole room is scattered around my dining room. I feel like as soon as we get it set up, my water will break or something. Ahhhhh
Ummm yes. Our new room is still half without a ceiling and the DH is working on it, meanwhile all of the baby stuff is taking up residence in our front room. I should be embarrassed that her dresser is in that room also, since it's the only free space we have, but I have no more fucks to give. At least all the clothes will be in the dresser today and all of the bags and boxes can leave this room.
I went out to lunch and started to panic. There was a family eating with a 3 year old boy. He was screaming like crazy. I was like "oh no!! I'll never be able to handle that."
Then, the screaming boy started throwing knives and forks across the room, threw his food on the ground, got spanked, and then called his father "hommi" (which is a fag in Icelandic.)
I breathed a little easier. This child was not going through a stage. Just really crappy parents. Who then, after they said they weren't getting ice cream anymore, the father threw a temper tantrum saying how bad he wanted ice cream, the kid joined in, and so mom agreed.

((Hugs)) I was 21 and pregnant too. It's true that you really do learn who your real friends are. Hang in there, by the time you can go out and party again, those things just seem so lame and ridiculous. A few weekends may have been bummy, but in all twelve years later I can not think of a single thing I'm sad about missing!
I just wanted to show everyone how happy my dog was to meet his cousin (my brother & his fiance got a dog when they were here to bring back to Alaska). He is one happy flea bag. This was right before he ripped off my neighbor's face.
