So apparently DH is still going to be a grumpy ass. Urgh this day started out so well.

My DH has been grumpy today too

We've lived in our house for a year and a few months. Water pressure was awesome when we bought it!

Over the last 6 months maybe the water pressure has dwindled and died. I mentioned it to him over and over. Our parents comment on it. It was getting so bad you couldn't wash your hands until the toilet was done refilling after a flush.

I mention it again today. Oh it's always been like that...?!?! Wtf!?! The faucet is trickling!

So I start googling what could be wrong and if I can fix it. Found a video with an easy fix for one type of problem it could be. He sees me gets all grumpy and is like I need the computer. He uses what i found and voila easy fix and the water pressure is perfect again!

He still doesn't agree that it was bad or that we ever had good water pressure. But thanked me for nagging him.

So now I'm a nag... But at least I can rinse the soap out if my hair...

Then the toilet was bubbling when the shower was running afterwards and he freaked out... It's been doing it off and on for months too... But is suddenly an emergency in his mind.

It's our anniversary today and he's just been really distant and quick to snap and get annoyed with me

Just got into an argument with DH over sex. I swear, sex is my evil nemesis right now. He's taking is personal that I don't have a sex drive so it makes me feel like an asshole for not wanting it. Usually I'll give in just to please him but it's gotten to the point to where I litterally dread it, among other issues we are having. I wish he could talk to other people and realize he doesn't have it so bad considering some people haven't had sex in months. I think what bothers me the most is the fact that no matter what he is just constantly trying to get in my pants. So constant that it feels like that's all he ever does. Of course I'm going to resent it when you pester me about it 24/7!!

I'm sorry for ranting so much today. I guess I'm just in one of those moods.

No sex drive here either, I don't even want to think of "it". The bf is always in the mood but thank god he isn't pushy about it, I would kill him if he was!

Sorry about your DH always trying to get in your pants. How mean that he just can't understand.

It's about this time every night that LO tries prying his way out. It feels like he is boxing my cervix. He's so sweet <33

DH just admitted that he's terrified to travel on a plane with the baby this summer. My family is in Michigan (we live in WA) so driving isn't an option. I was hoping to start thinking about booking a flight in mid June because that's the soonest he can take off work from his new job. Any STM's travel early with a baby? How early?

We flew with DS to Minnesota (from SEA) when he was 7 weeks, 3 months and three other trips after that. Each time was progressively more difficult. At 7 weeks he just slept pretty much the entire time and it was awesome.Go direct if possible and bring a baby carrier of some sort.

deidremaria · March 2014

@J&NL that sounds like my bf and I when I was on the depo shot a year or so ago. I had NO sex drive and my bf took it personally and we fought about it a lot. I know it affected his self esteem greatly and the age difference was no help. We sometimes joke and say "how could someone who never wants sex get pregnant?" I'm sorry this is happening with you guys. It'll pass.

Soooo I just squeezed out a little breast milk colostrum whatever and smelled it. Smelled like a chai tea latte. Now I'm tempted to taste a little when baby gets here. Is that weird?

Go for it. I think it tastes way different than cow's milk. Not a fan, which is probably an OK thing

((Huggs))

I can definitely relate! DH and I were watching tv and I fell asleep. I got up to go up to bed and then DH picked that moment to guilt trip me about our lack of sex lately. I'm sorry, I'm 8 months pregnant, exhausted all the time & sex is just plain uncomfortable. Sometimes men are just fucking idiots!!! Sorry I didn't mean to hijack your post, I just share your frustration!!

I just keep thinking about how it's going to be at least 6 weeks until we have sex after the baby is born and that usually gets me in the mood to do it often now. And then we have to go back to condom sex, which really makes me want to make the most of the freedom we have now. I hate condoms.

I tasted mine. Tasted like super watery milk to me.

I never had the balls to try. I heard a story somewhere about a husband who tried his wife's out of curiosity and apparently it was horrendous--"wouldn't go near her boobs for a week" as the story went.
The moment my bf found out there was colostrum in there he stopped coming near them. I think it's gonna get worse once my actual milk comes in.

Maybe you'll be one of those lucky ladies who spray milk when they orgasm postpartum. That sure was a fun surprise for DH!

If that happens he won't touch me until the baby weans. He is not turned on by breast milk whatsoever.

Not playing in the T&D thread since I'm going to bed soon, but can someone please dare someone else to complain on attachment parenting that their 3-month old is waking up too often at night and wondering when it's OK to start CIO (cry it out) since so many other babies that age are already sleeping through the night? I need some a good thread to read tomorrow

This baby better stay put at the very least until this next snow storm is over with. I'm also nervous to go back to work this last week (Thankfully I'm headed out on my maternity leave on Friday). I plan on doing pretty much nothing all week if I can avoid it, as simply walking for 45 minutes hurts and makes me feel like I did Friday night.

What's the best way to tell your job your gonna sit on your ass, drink water and answer the phone and nothing more because you don't want to give birth to your baby at your desk, all while ensuring that you have a job when you're done with maternity leave?

Driving home from my awesome date with my girls @KatieGummow @poru and @LittleLady77 and Drive by Incubus came on followed by Closing Time by Semisonic. Totally drive around the block to finish rocking out. Gin Blossoms Pandora station is the best. What a great day!

So much fun! Soda and garlic made me super burpy all the way home. We should have had some wine

So fun and such yummy pizza ;;)

Let's do it again tomorrow. You ladies are so much fun!

JoelleOK · March 2014

AW alert!
I had my shower today. I had a lovely time. I had one cupcake of each flavor (chocolate, red velvet, lemon, orange cranberry). Half of the guest list were sick (or had sick kids) so lots of cake with cream cheese frosting for everyone!

irisheyez7 · March 2014

Ok...pretty much all the NB 0-3 clothes are washed, the pack in play is set up and we bought diapers and wipes for the first time ever tonight. So if this kid came tonight we wouldn't be totally screwed...

JessieAlbin · March 2014

My stomach hurts, I'm having Braxton hicks for days, my DH is out having his once in a blue moon drinking night, and I just wanna sleep. Knock it off, body. This isn't a good time

kseccomb17 · March 2014

35 weeks pregnant and counting. I'm determined to get his room done tomorrow.. and by me, I mean reminding DH to do it.

JessieAlbin · March 2014

Fml. Called L&D and they think I should come in. Now I'm all freaked out. Not how I wanted to spend Saturday night. Headed that way.

snmetz7 · March 2014

You girls were busy today! Finally caught up. I had to do a FAFSA workshop this morning, followed by filing out the longest job application ever! Seriously it had like 5 essay questions! Who does that!?! It's for a job in a different department (advising not financial aid) that would completely round out my student service experience and make me a perfect candidate for a director/ dean eventually for the whole student service side of college so cross your fingers ladies that I get an interview and that they are not freaked out that I'm 9 mo pregnant.

Catching up : I will probably taste my milk if/when it comes in because I'm weird like that. Anthony is actually fascinated that I will have milk and has already said that he wants to milk me *face palm* I told him its possible that during sex I could spray him and he's weirdly excited about that.

As far as sex, we have been averaging about once a month and its usually imitated by me ( though lately it's by him) and while I don't have the drive it doesn't disgust me. We tried last night but every time he would come near me baby would start kicking up a storm... Talk about mood killer. Sigh.

I fell asleep at 8 so naturally I'm up at 2.. Yay for bumping in bed.

BiggerinRealLife · March 2014

I hope you get the interview @snmetz7! That job sounds awesome.

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.

((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!

It's cool that you guys bring this up because this is currently me. I'm 22 and in a new area, so the few friends I had before I got pregnant have absolutely no interest in me, and now it's almost like I have a disease to them. DH has met some friends who have girlfriends but they don't seem to know what to say to me because I can't go out and drink.
I've kinda accepted my hermitness as well and just look forward to the day that I meet mommy friends

ETA: holy grammar.

Hell, I have this problem and I'm thirty-fucking-five. Immaturity comes in all ages. I feel blessed that I FINALLY made *A* mommy friend locally (aside from my LB), who happens to a member of this BMB...without her, I wouldn't really have any friends either.

JessieAlbin · March 2014

They're sending me home... Kiddo is "perfect", moved head down and all that pressure I have been feeling all night is his effing head attacking my insides. They said I overdid it at work, but that I'm measuring good etc. Scary though. Still feeling nauseated and crampy. They marveled at what a "wiggler" I have in there. So tired.

Eta: not a single BH the whole time I was hooked up at L&D... Get in the car to go home and my uterus tightens up like crazy. Eff you, body.

Why do these damn dating sites think I'm in the market for some loving? Everytime I get up in the morning there's an email from a new dating site, match.com, black people meet, Christian mingle. Go the fuck away! Good morning ladies.

MegJ17 · March 2014

@J&NL I've been on pelvic rest since sept. DH has gotten nothing. Some days I feel bad but then I get over it. He takes the dr orders stricter than I do.

J&NL · March 2014

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. I just wish I could just not have sex guilt free for a little while. I told him it's not his fault, but he still takes it personally. His sex drive is way higher than mine though. Even before I got pregnant he always wanted more more more more more, which was fine but now it's just uncomfortable and I honestly don't enjoy it. Le sigh. Six or so more weeks and then I can have my body back (kind of) and hopefully my sex drive will come back.

I hate the weather!! We were literally 77 degrees yesterday and this morning there is snow on the ground. I hate anything above 65 so I am loving the break today from the warm weather but it really needs to make up its mind. We have 5 days of 70-80 then 2 days of 30. Also, the wind isn't suppose to start until the middle of March here, so if it could just quit blowing that would be great.

I Just had a dream that my insurance covered blizzards at dairy queen for pregnant women. You just had to show your insurance card and could get two free per month. It was awesome!

Today I will pack my hospital bag! I need to grocery shop, but I think I'll put it off again for tomorrow. My DS woke up really sick so it'll be a calm day.
