@Internationalkate‌- did you get tickets? I got in on Thursday, but I figured it's better to go any day than no day!

@ohyealovely

Jealous! Third year trying and I totally struck out….again! My husband, my mom and I all were big losers. Thursday is good…all the vendors are stocked and lots of goodies available! I live in SD so I'll probably just drop downtown for a little people watching and for a friend's outside the con event. Have you been before?

Aw man! That sucks! I'm sorry you struck out! I've never been before but I've always wanted to go and I'm excited to check it out. Do you live close to where it's held? SD seems huge to me haha.

He was diagnosed with severe allergies. He now has two meds he has to take everyday twice a day and they gave me a 3 month supply and he has eye drops he has to take twice a day for a week. They said if we would've waited any longer he would of been vomiting and would have diarrhea and of gotten dehydrated cause his allergies are so bad.

Thanks for the get well wishes. Poor kid looks like he got in a fight. And its not gonna clear up very fast as I had hoped because the pollen is so bad that my Durango was yellow yesterday and its supposed to be a champagne color not yellow. I'm gonna have to keep him indoors more which sucks cause it's supposed to be 82° today and he's gonna wanna play in his sandbox. Allergies suck!

momof5sept18 · March 2014

Oh, and they said he'll have to go back to get the tumor removed again which is never fun with a fully aware four year old. The numbing medication makes him a little loopy, but having to have this done a second time in barely less than a month just sucks so much because it's scary for him and my hormones make me want to cry during it but I know I can't or he'll freak out. Oh the joys of lancing stuff off of toddlers. Not...

That sucks but I'm glad you got some answers and a treatment plan for the little guy.

Oh man, I've never heard of allergies that bad! Poor little guy. You are one tough mama and I'm glad that you guys have some answers and a treatment plan as well. Stay strong... you have a strong little guy!

I'm having a suddenly depressed day. Woke up like this. Just want to lie in bed, cry, and snuggle H. Doing the bed part. We have to go to a dinner party tonight and I'm so not up for it, but also don't want to screw up their plans.

I really hate the pregnancy hormones.

nunzchucks · March 2014

We came home from lunch and the dog had eaten about 30 of DD's crayons. He's a 23 lb Boston Terrier so he's full of crayons! He's thrown up a few times and we're concerned about a bowel obstruction so we are at the emergency vet. If you read this maybe say a little prayer for him. Thanks!

sparklenshine_89 · March 2014

Sorry this is long...feel free to skip ahead

Ugh MIL. Seriously lady! Get your shit together... you are a grown ass woman, start acting like one.

Here's a little backstory from New Years Day: When MIL drinks too much she acts like a crazy bitch. I called her out on it and told her I didn't want her around my kids like that because she is a completely different person. I had seen this on many occasions. She thinks she can treat my children whatever way she wants and she made this clear to me and said that she is going to do whatever she wants and I have no say. And I told her (calmly) that they are my children and she has no right and when it concerns MY children, what I say goes. And she started flipping out and screaming at me and then ran into the house crying. My FIL came out and attacked me saying I was being a bully (he wasn't even there to hear what happened, just MIL's side- btw they are divorced and live together). Everyone defends her because she starts crying. She's a great actress. Everyone insisted that I apologize to her... and I'm like hell no, I'm not going to apologize for how I feel. And it was left at that. Oh, and she can't watch my kids alone.

Seriously, not even a week ago, I started to talk to my DH about how I do not want her living with us. Before all this crazy stuff happened we had discussed that she would eventually live with us. And he was like... I don't know why you brought that up because she lives with my dad blah, blah, blah. I went on to tell him that I think he's going to kick her out soon and she's going to have to go somewhere and no one is going to want her and that I can't have her living with me... and I don't want him saying yes when the time comes. I guarantee that is what would have happened if we didn’t talk about it.

Last night all this crap went down between FIL and MIL (hmm I can't believe you guys ever divorced in the first place *sarcasm*). And now FIL says she is no longer allowed to stay with him.

CALLED IT! Sorry, I can't say that to DH. I'm just so glad we had our conversation before this happened. I feel a bit psychic. Oh and FIL and everyone else totally understands why I tried to talk to MIL in the first place.

sparklenshine_89 · March 2014

@joules235 Hah! That's why I'm glad it was discussed recently. I think DH realizes what I was seeing.

tbmadeamistake · March 2014

I took a bath with C because we were both at the ends of our ropes after a long weekend, over stimulation with her cousins, and a short night last night. She was very conscientiously washing my belly with the bubbles and her wash clothe...and then suddenly she washed my vag. Unexpected to say the least. We need a bigger bathtub..

abastian00 · March 2014

whoberry - thank you so much! We got married at the Metropolitan Building in Long Island City, Queens (NYC), an old factory building turned into event space. And our wedding photographers are geniuses at what they do - Chellise Michael Photography. She's actually going to do my maternity shoot next week. I'm so excited to see how they turn out!

I just busted out laughing at the part about your daughter giving you a through bath haha! Seems as though you are teaching her to bathe herself well

I'm sorry you had a rough weekend but I hope you guys are feeling better now.

DH was standing in the doorway when it happened and walked away shaking his head, I cracked up! I'm definitely feeling better, in part from the bath and in part from the 15 minutes out of the house by myself while I went to CVS to find any/all bubble bath for us to use. I got way overwhelmed by the 5 kids under the age of 8 at my mom's today, soooo noisy and I got overstimulated I think. Cue teething tantrums upon getting home and I was this close to losing it. Luckily, DH understood and sent me on my errand, then he ate while C and bathed so I could eat while he put her to bed. I'm feeling much better, though I think I'll still have a good cry later just to cleanse the system. Thanks!

ricecakes1216 · March 2014

My boobs have shrank. I am kind of depressed. I went from a 34B to a 36C and now I am back to a B.

kymirandar · March 2014

My SS is my husband. Even though I get frustrated sometimes at him working so much when I need his help, this deserves a shout out. I knew he was being recognized but didn't realize how quickly until he brought me home this magazine that he is being featured in out of 30 men all over the US who also completed this task for their employers. Baby Baylor and I are so proud of him, spending many nights at home studying and taking/passing tons of tests, he is now a certified master tech for New Holland!

cristykaye · March 2014

Maybe it's just me but OMG pregnancy gas is soooo bad. Maybe it's the fiber I take everyday but dang! It's a good thing I am home alone all day!!! Not only that but I belch so much at random times!! I think I could win a contest right now! Yuck!

Mia081081 · March 2014

Random question - DH and I started watching American Horror Story Season 1. I thought the first episode was entertaining, but a bit much. I love horror movies, but I just thought they kind of revealed too much too soon.

So my question - Should I keep watching? I am kind of afraid that the fetus imagery, miscarriage, pregnant with demon spawn stuff will freak me out if I keep watching. Worth watching or skip it?

I'm saving Downton Abbey for my mat leave

Mia081081 · March 2014

@mrsdbc - I'm a STM with an almost-3-yo. I think we just know how much MORE we love our LOs when they're outside babies. Nope, I do not love my inside baby as much as my outside baby, but I know that will change when he/she is born.

Here is a really good TED talk about parenting taboos that actually shows a graph of parents' love for their kids over time. It's really a good, reassuring video for those of us who worry about bonding with inside babies and newborns: https://www.ted.com/talks/rufus_griscom_alisa_volkman_let_s_talk_parenting_taboos

Hairstylist16 · March 2014

I posted on the breastfeeding board too but would like all the stm out there's opinion on which breast pump they liked? I get one through my insurance and was thinking the madela double electric freestyle looked good?

otter1103 · March 2014

Picked up my breast pump the other day. Yup, it's just as terrifying as I thought it would be to see up close. Yes, I have 2 teenagers but due to personal reasons and other life situations, I did not BF them. So baby #3 will be my first and it's starting to wig me out. I am determined to BF but there's something in my head that is just weirded out over it. Seriously, I'm a thirty-err say mid 30's grown ass woman, I should not feel this way!

Mia081081 · March 2014

@Hairstylist16 - I had that one and LOVED it. Pumped twice a day at work for about a year. I had big boobs/nips though and had to buy the Large sized breast shields to get the most milk out. Also the bra is useless. Pick up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/PumpEase-Fabulous-Collection-hands-free-pumping/dp/B002ZYM3MW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1395092196&sr=8-6&keywords=breast+pump+bra

I had this one. I absolutely loved it. Other breast pumps didn't work for me.

Pepper6 · March 2014

Ugh, I hate when I read crappy books, they put me in a funk. This one wasn't even bad, it was just boring as fuck and too sickeningly sweet and had absolutely no freaking story line. I kept hoping it would get better, or something would happen, but nope, and now I'm left wondering why I even bothered to finish it. But...at least it was free and helped pass the day at work which was a little slow.

Pepper6 · March 2014

@Rachel5130‌ it was 'come away with me' by Kristen proby. I've had some goodreads friends read it and they rated it okay, and or was free so I figured I'd give it a shot...not worth it. It was 200 pages of "you are so beautiful, let's have sex after I bought you dozens of flowers because you're so beautiful and sexy" The End. Ugh...

JujuB22 · March 2014

Just had a pretty strong Braxton Hicks. Asked DH if he wanted to feel it. He is now officially freaked out and asked "Are you going into labor?!!" Lol no honey, we are ok.

THANK YOU. I see these other chicks constantly stroking their bellies and I just don't get it. I like when she moves and all, but she's pretty abstract to me. It will be great when she's here, but right now she's still months away.

Guise. We're going to be pregnant forever, aren't we?

Forever and ever. Then suddenly, we wont be. Then holy shit, now what?

I don't know! Don't scare me! This weekend I started thinking about how to be a good mom to a little boy. Tbh, I always kind of pictured myself with a girl and thought a lot about how to raise her... I'm more than thrilled for a boy, but as it gets closer and all the cute polo onesies have worn on me, I'm having a lot of self-doubts about raising a good man. I'm glad I have DH.

lest12 · March 2014

I kind of bet I'd be having those doubts if it were a girl, too, right? Self-doubt must be a little normal right now?

tbmadeamistake · March 2014

The most shocking part of not being pregnant is when you pack up to leave the hospital and they make you take the baby home with you. It was a wtf moment for me. Like, she's cute and all, but I actually have to parent this little person 24/7 from now until a long time? Woah.

lest12 · March 2014

Thanks @rachel5130

is that a baby smoking a pipe?! bahahaha I don't know what went wrong lol

No it's some NSFW gif (it literally says NSFW) with crotch shots and black boxes covering the genitals.

I wonder if it is that site. Too strange!

SHIT JUST GOT REAL. Baby, I was kidding. You can stay in there forever.
