Re: Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )

  • Hugs to all the ladies that need them- (and big TP's to all the SO's that need them)!!

    I'm so tired today. I slept like crap and just feel sore and achy. My Mom and my in-laws are coming over this afternoon so now instead of being lazy and taking a hot bath I have to get the house cleaned up. At least we're going out to lunch at my favorite Irish pub and I don't have to worry about cooking!!

    Hope you all have nice, relaxing Sundays!!!

  • DH and I are having issues this weekend too. I over exerted myself yesterday and was exhausted by dinner time so I asked DH to go get take out. He basically said my choices were mcdonalds or he would heat me up a hot pocket. Not exactly nutritious. I wanted a burrito (I know not that much better but at least there are some veggies! ) but he said if I wanted that I had to go with him because he couldn't handle ordering by himself. Really? He's thirty-fucking-five years old and he can't order a burrito!?! Anyway...It's a long story that ends in him trying to make me a burrito at home at 9:45 where he almost burns the house down and me cleaning up the aftermath. I'm really hoping he understands that if the baby is hungry you can't just wait 4 hours until you feel feeding her. Makes me very worried!

  • @mamamonzo Glad your DH is stepping up, but I'm sorry this is so hard! I've heard from mom friends that there's a fourth trimester where everything is just insane as you and baby are adjusting to new life in the outside world. Something around three month in clicks, and it gets tons better. But I can't imagine what this is like for you now. I will soon, though! Hugs to you!

    @KatieGummow, I'm sorry, but ew. DH has the occasional cigar, as do I (not pregnant) but I can't even handle the idea of dip. Do you kiss him after?

    My hips! My butt! I have a hula hoop of pain around pelvis and I can't get it to stop! Good morning ladies! On the upside, baby is seeming to sleep when I do, and wiggle when I wake. She's getting more attuned to my sleeping patterns (or I'm delusionally hopeful and this is a two-day fluke) instead of keeping me up late into the night. And I love that the first thing I think in the mornings now is "good morning, baby girl!"

    Mine quit smoking 7 years ago but he used gum and it took him 5 years to quit the gum. Sometimes I thought the gum was worse than the cigarettes because he would leave his chewed gum everywhere but at least he finally quit that too. All of it is pretty annoying for different reasons!

  • @spano41‌, mine does gum too when he tries to quit dip. But he chews it ALL the time. It is so annoying. I don't understand, because I am not an addict, why he can't just flipping use it to quit nicotine. One subsistitue for another.

    @biggerinreallife, I would much rather him dip than smoke cigarettes for sure. He has an occasional cigar which I don't mind but you're right about the kissing. I can't really taste the dip if we kiss after, but we don't make out all the time anyways...

    I have tried everything under the sun to catapult him into quitting; nagging, ignoring, crying, yelling, threatening cancer, mentioning bad role modeling... but again, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to something, so hopefully when he sees these beautiful boys something will click.

  • Yeah, that lady needs to calm down.
  • @mamamonzo I'm glad to hear that your DH stepped up last night.  I'm a firm believer in doing whatever you can to get sleep.  Sleep deprivation makes everything seem worse.  I really hope that you and Lucas get some much needed sleep today.  Good luck!

    I'm sorry to everyone who is having issues with their DH/SO.  I just don't think some men realize the impact of their words.

    Hugs to everyone who needs them.

  • I don't like country music, but there's something about Luke Bryan :x
  • Did you guys ever use a tennis ball for back labor? Or find anything that seemed to help? It was more intense for me than actual contractions with DD, and I'd like to attempt med free.
    We're going to use one of those handheld massagers - the ones with 4 little 'feet', so DH can push on either side of my spine and get those tough muscles. I can only imagine the tennis ball would hurt in his hand after a while, so I don't want him to give up on it. 

    This reminds me that I should ask MIL to borrow her little handheld massager, if she knows where it is at the moment.  Thanks!

    Huge thunderstorm, tornado watch... This is not how I envisioned my beach weekend. More time to bump, I guess. MIL made cake, too...

    Eep!  I love thunderstorms, but tornadoes suck! *comfort*  Sorry your beach weekend is ruined, but FX no tornadoes touch down.  I think I'd rather be in another earthquake than deal with a tornado. x.x

  • Woke up this morning feeling hungover, except we all know that's not true...if I'm going t

    I'm in a ridiculous amount of pain today, I don't know how to make it stop :(

    Can you get in that lovely bathtub you have? That's been helping me lately. I'd even suck it up and get in a pool if I could. That sounds lovely right now.
  • My SPD has seemed to have gotten a bit better. Still sore, but not as bad. There's hope!
  • Hey look! Another non-celebrity celebrity goes anti-vax. Because...she read books y'all!

  • I swear if people keep saying "sleep now you won't get much when baby get here" I WILL TP them. So sick of hearing it, especially after last night where I was up every hour to pee or coughing, or because my hips hurt....What is the point of telling 8 month pregnant lady that anyways?? 

    I hear ya! It's frustrating. Especially coming from people who've been pregnant before
  • Reading "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" by LLL. Has anyone ever joined a local chapter? I'm not sure I'm bf for the long haul and I'm afraid that won't go over well if I try to join one here. But the support would be amazing...

    Ugh TMI but I pooped a bunch this morning and my back has been killing me since. My stomach has been cramping off and on since. I'm not ready for this yet. I'm laying in bed, refusing to acknowledge that labor might be starting soon. LO is not allowed to come until Friday night, my friend flys in on Friday so that she can watch DS and my dogs when we are in the hospital.
    God this is me!! Add a feeling of mild nausea to the list and I'm starting to wonder....

    However LO is NOT allowed to arrive before Sunday - I do not want to go to the big hospital!!!

    I friggin love those Maytag commercials with the guy acting as appliances.

    The one where he is the fridge is my fave

    That's the one I was watching when I posted. Hilarious! His resentment for the small appliances were so funny
  • @3crazykitties Your thread about first dance has inspired me to listen to the music we had during the ceremony :-D
    I am still very pleased with our choices. LOL.

  • My SPD seems a lot better today as well! I'm not sure if it's just natural progression or my body's way of saying, "Heads up, you're going to have an early labor!", but this mama-to-be is ready to finally get some shit done! \:D/

    I get a kick out of the washer/dryer one where he's tossing the ball of clothes around lol

    That one was funny. If only our washer could return our electrics for real.
