Yup. Horrible pain in my right side and in my back...even going around to the front of my stomach. It kept me up half the night. I can't wait for 5:00 to get here when I have a chiro appointment.

My bitchfest.
I went for my OB appointment today, was told I failed my 3 hour glucose test! ugh... now im slightly depressed about it. I know its not the end of the world.. and my family does have a high history of diabetes so it wasnt surprising but still sad and angry! I pricked myself today (my mom got to show me how to do all the fun diabetes pricking and writing down the numbers etc).. Gotta cut back on my sugar I guess...that sucks!
I dont if its good or not but baby girl is measuring two weeks ahead of what she is. 32 weeks and 4lbs at the moment instead of 30 weeks. I assume thats ok but I was surprised!
Also im pissed off at Medicaid.. they wont get back to me and tell me if I still qualify.. All I got was a "Well you should still qualify since your under your husbands and his is a disability medicaid" well thats not good enough.. i need to know lady! If not then I get to use my husbands new insurance.. but pay more! boo...

I have two:
1. I have a terrible cold and everyone is on my last nerve because sleep already wasn't happening, but now it's not happening even worse. Please don't expect me to do anything worthwhile. I won't.
2. I went to breakfast with a friend the other day. She just lost a ton of weight on her latest fad diet. Good for her. She then goes on to tell me that she doesn't know how fashion designers can possibly even LOOK at big girls because YUCK!
I looked down at my growing belly and my bazillion pound frame and thought, "So, I'm ugly because I'm big? Good thing I have a great personality. B*tch."

I'm so glad my first pregnancy wasn't like this because it would've been my last.

Edit: With that said, we did have a really crappy system in Texas for insurance. If you had any sort of a pre-existing condition and had to get private insurance, you were pretty much screwed. I experienced it first hand. Hence, why like 25% of children in Texas were uninsured. But that is completely different now with the ACA. And I have even tried to guide her to get insurance through the ACA.

Apparently, when you are pregnant there are higher income limits for Medicaid so she qualified under just her income alone. She told us in the office that she lied about not knowing paternity of the child she was carrying (she did and he made good money) and about not having insurance (she had insurance at the time through our employer, but it was a high deductible plan) in order to get on medicaid. I have no idea of the truth of any of this. Just going by what she said.
Honestly, my big issue with her actions is not any of the above. It is that she doesn't currently have insurance for her child. You need to have insurance for your child. You just do. Period. Behind food and shelter, healthcare should be right up there in your list of priorities...definitely above lavish trips, designer shoes, a new house or a brand new loaded vehicle. It is part of being a parent. If you make too much to be able to qualify for medicaid or other programs, then you better be sacrificing in every other area...she isn't. At one point in time, there really was an access issue beyond just cost. But with the enactment of the ACA, there really is no excuse. My husband has an employee in her 50's who makes about what my coworker does and she was able to get decent insurance for about $120 a month through the ACA. I know insurance on a healthy child would be less. Heck, I have a platinum plan and I think the cost of insuring my son is only $250 a month. I know you could get a bronze plan for a lot less than that.

My hip pain has launched into another universe, with the weight and my labral tear, I have no idea how I am going to commute for the next 9 weeks.
I have so much work to do and all I want to do is take a nap....but I have to freaking pee...AGAIN!
I want brownies-but there are no brownies here at work...so I have to go home and buy and/or make brownies?! Seems like a lot of work....pregnancy conundrum.
Friends for 17 years. Married 10. TTC since Jan 2009.
2013: IVF#3/FET#4 Elisabeth CJ born April 30, 2014
Cerclage, P17, and 3 months of bed rest brought us our Rainbow.
Dum spiro, spero.
I've already told her I still have giftcards to use up at target but I'm waiting for the completion coupon before I buy anything else. She just will not stop asking me about what I need/want still so I sent her an email with the few remaining items on my list. This kid is set: all his furniture, little clothes, diapers, I mean pretty much everything. I think she's just excited/trying to make up for being a busy single mom (we were broke) but I just want to buy the rest of my baby crap in peace.
I'm sure I sound 100% ungrateful but I'm a 27 year old adult I can afford my own kid! My mom actually scolded me because I bought my crib, changing table, pack-n-play and all the major furniture at 20 weeks. She told me to stop buying stuff because people wanted to get me things. I get that people love babies but come on, I didn't buy any clothes/toys/fun stuff just the expensive necessities. Apparently I've got the roid rage- or butt nut rage, thank PP who coined that one, I kinda like it.
ETA: words are hard, fixed my spelling (I hope).

This exactly!
1.) my MIL is really not understanding that my husband and I are serious when we say that this baby is never riding in their vehicle. The breaks have gone out multiple times and it's not safe. Today she was talking about needing their own car seat for their van! I just let her talk cause sometimes she only understands face to face convos. And my husband is the best, he'll get super blunt with her. But it makes me batty when we have to repeat things over and over.
2.) Baby girl is still breech but I can't ever tell anyone besides my husband how this makes me feel (worried and a bit stressed) without everyone telling me it's too early to worry about it. I KNOW but as each week goes by people, it's still not getting better!!!!!!
End rant.

my DH really quite smoking this time it has been about 4 and half months, this is after he promised to quite before we got married and multiple other times (we are coming up.on our 6 year wedding anniversary) Anyway what helped him was downloading an app to his phone that keeps track of how much money he saves not smoking, he is up to 700 bucks. Idk maybe it would help thought Id mention it
1) I've had bad hip pain from the beginning as my hips are uneven. Then last few weeks it's been taken to a whole new level. I can barely walk. Wtf! Tired if this ish.
2) I'm tired of people telling me I "have" to choose baby's name soon. And telling me this all the time. Yeah no shit. But I don't have to choose shit until I fill out her birth certificate. Stop pressuring me, we will decide when we decide. (We have a top contender but I'm leaving options open).
I really appreciate that my parents want to help me, but they do. They did. I feel like I should give them a present, that's how much help I feel like they give me, and then my mom called today and suggested small furniture purchases for house warming presents. No!
Other, equally wrongheaded bitch: DH said all along we wouldn't get any kind of comfy chair that I kind of wanted for nursing (rocker, glider, thing of that nature) because they're too expensive and not useless enough. I believed him, and to keep myself from miserable envy I didn't read any of the glider threads and didn't look at any furniture online. Now we have a house with two living rooms and he said rather offhand that we need furniture, including a nice (but not too nice, because frugality) chair like I said I wanted months ago. His mom has been making noises about replacing her living room furniture, but he's pretty sure she won't switch her furniture in time for it to do us much good to offer to buy it from her when she makes the switch. He also doesn't want to actually go into any furniture store at any point, so he wants me to buy a comfy chair without sitting in it to verify comfy status. That's a big negatory, good buddy. (He hates furniture stores, which I totally get, but it seems reasonable for me to go furniture browsing while he hangs out with our son, and then I can write down my favorites and we can buy online once I know what I like. He's stubborn, but I am too.)
And! in our new house, I can see at least three houses from any window. I didn't really notice that when we looked at it, and now I feel like a zoo animal, partly because we just moved in and have a severe curtain shortage. I get dressed in the bathroom in my own home. I hate blinds, but Home Depot is going to be selling me a bunch of cheap blinds really soon, possibly even tomorrow if I can find the tape measure.
TL;DR I'm a horrible ingrate and feel like bitching about it.
