You know how it works.

@comeongetdown sometimes as mothers we do a lot more research than our partners. Have you tried showing him what your research shows? Maybe if he sees where you are coming from and why it's what's safest for your baby he'd better understand where you're coming from? This new parents thing can be so overwhelming.

I have a penis shaped vein on my fore arm.

I have jury duty today. I actually haven't minded just sitting around and reading a magazine and watching a movie

MH and I are having a really hard time communicating lately. I'm trying my best to do what's best and most safe for our baby and he says I'm only throwing away money. I'm so stressed and upset about it but don't know how to best convey my thoughts without sounding crazy and crying a lot. *le sigh*

hugs LB!

I had my eyes photographed last week. I have heterochromia (one part of my iris is a different color than the rest) I think it turned out pretty cool.

I'm contemplating making a doctors appt to talk about PPD/PPA meds. I don't know if it's even possible to feel PPD/PPA this late after birth, but something wonky is going on with me.

Gorgeous! I always just called it a sunburst. I didn't know there was a name for it. My eyes are blue and brown.

POAS!

But, seriously, I hope you find something that helps.

My work is jacking me around again and now I have to return to campus Monday and decide if I want to work full time or just quit. We are going to check out a day care today to get an idea of how it would be if I returned to campus. I want to cry.

@deedee1017 I've tried but he thinks I'm being ridiculous.

Oh, and just for giggles, he blames all of you, "this wouldn't be an issue if you didn't read about it on your forums..." I was like, "uh, sorry for researching what's best for our baby?"

ha! tell him to come take it up with us! b-(

When I tell my husband that I haven't been on the bump all day he says, "That's great, babe!" as if I'm beating my habit or something.

Ugh, mine does the same thing. He keeps suggestion I have an internet addiction and I don't think he's joking. I think he thinks i spend a lot more time on the bump than i actually do. It's starting to get annoying.

A couple of things from me today,

1. My dad offered to do my taxes for DH and I a month ago because he knew it would help us out. I gave him all of our tax stuff last month and when I asked him about it today, he had this long pause and said, he wanted to "call me" before he does them. Normally, I have them done the day we get the last form. I hate having that stuff pending.

2. Ellie has been constipated again lately. We've not changed her formula or intro'd solids yet. She's already got 4 teeth, so I assume it's related to that. So, I ask Dr. Google it and said that normally teething can cause diarrhea, not constipation, but that she could be dehydrated due to the obscene amount of drool and to add water to her bottle to "rehydrate" her. I've done this for about a week. It didn't occur to me that I was thinning out her formula until the IL post. I feel like the worst mother in the world.

Someone let their dog poop on my sidewalk. I am so disgusted. I am now making a sign to stick next to the poop to poop-shame the careless owners.

Or one of you ladies (cough @nryan55) sent me poop via poopsenders.

carawasa · March 2014

I think that you can be diagnosed with PPD/PPA up until a year after birth..

I read that somewhere, but wasn't 100%...hence why I'm debating a phone call to the doctors lol

My boss is trying to kill me. He has, in the last two weeks, scheduled a breakfast meeting at 7am an hour away from where we work (at our lawyer's offices), asked me to attend a dinner thing for mgmt, thrown two major projects at me with ridiculous deadlines, and emailed me at 9pm asking for a chart for his 8am meeting the following day.

My kid is not sttn, is teething (breaking in his two top teeth now - he already has his two bottom teeth! Crazy!), and I'm so tired I'm just glad I show up to work clothed.

deedee1017 · March 2014

I haven't gotten a pp period yet. I was hoping that being pregnant and having a baby might clear up some of my issues, but I'm starting to worry.

Oh one more.

I POAS and it was negative....that was scary and it would have put me at 14 weeks or so if it was positive.

ETA: I did because I was having really weird cramps and that phantom kicking and haven't had a PP period yet.

Are you ladies BFing/pumping? I BF A1 for 14mo and never had a period until I weaned her.

No. I was part of the no milk club.

-On that same note **drama llama warning** SIL (DH's older sister) asked me if I wanted to help plan the baby shower. I would love to do that, but it stung a little because the SIL that is pregnant didn't come to ours because she said she "has a fear of games and just can't do showers" It's not so much that she hasn't gotten Farrah anything not even for the shower, it's that I wanted her to be part of the celebration and wouldn't come yet I'm being asked to help plan a day for her. In my heart, I honestly do want to help plan the shower because I'm truly excited for her, but it just kind of rubbed me the wrong way to be asked to help plan it. I don't get how I am feeling both things, but I am and I'm sure that doesn't make any sense and I know that part of this sounded gift grabby, but it's not about that.

I secretly love situations like this where I get to be the much bigger and more gracious person, and thereby cause the other person to realize what a jackbag they were and be overcome with remorse. Or at least I imagine they are remorseful in my head. That is a weird personality trait, huh.

Being pregnant is the least of my worries in regards to not having a period. It's the endless doctor appointments that I'll have to go through again just to get a period and what it might mean for when we are ready to try for another kid.

It does bring some comfort that someone else has not gotten their period yet though, so thank you.

StefMurph · March 2014

I want to cunt punch DH's stepM. She runs a consignment shop for her daughter and we took 4 pieces of furniture there since we didn't feel like moving it. The pieces sell for $300-400 brand new. I asked her to mark them $100 each and the least we would take would be $50 after they sat awhile. She texted (a week after we moved them there) to let me know she sold 3 pieces and has $180 for us. What. The. Fuck?!!?!!! DH is pissed and wants me to tell her that she needs to "unsell" the furniture or they need to pay what we were asking. Problem is I already have an issue with the fact she didn't come to see my son in a play because she didn't have $12. You can bet your ass if it was her bio grandchild, she would've found a way to pay. I know I will not hold back if I call her about the furniture.

Lee81 · March 2014

I'm out of my office today conducting meetings at an outside facility. I used the first stall in the restroom (#statisticallycleanest) and didn't notice until mid pee that there is an huge gap between the door and the wall. Has to be like two inches. Fortunately, the random chick who stood in front of the stall adjusting herself before leaving the bathroom didn't seem to notice either.

I just want to bitch about teething. It's been going on for a month. Where the hell are the teeth? Spoiler alert: I can still see them and they haven't moved closer at all. wtf. I feel horrible that LO is so miserable at night. He is distracted during the day but wakes up allthetime at night whining or crying and trying to chew his hands.

That's another issue. I wish I could break him of the swaddle. He pulls his hands free constantly to chew on them, but doesn't just suck his hands and soothe himself. He stays awake and ends up gagging on them. He wakes up when he pulls his arms free but doesn't fall asleep unless his arms are swaddled.

Oh heeeey, this reminds me, I took LO to the doc yesterday afternoon b/c he's running a slight fever and has a cough, and while I was there I asked about the whole tylenol at night for teething thing. He asked how much I was giving. I said 2.5ml once, maybe twice a night. He said, oh that amount is fine and I could give that much for a loooooong time (he literally said loooooong) and not cause a problem. So that made me feel better.

My parents are leaving for Nashville today, they are making a long weekend to go see George Strait at the Bridgestone Arena... I am insanely jealous that I am stuck here and can't go. (even though I have already seen GS once this year, and a total of 3 times in the past few years)

amber0529 · March 2014

-DS finally decided to roll over on Monday at the babysitter's. I wanted to cry when she told me because I missed it & I'm sad cause she will most likely see all my son's 'firsts'.

-I started a new job this week!

-I found out my childhood best friend is pregnant & due in October! So excited about it but sad that we live across the country from each other.

I am failing miserably at food in general. I used to bring a healthy lunch to work, always have a plan for dinner, healthy snack, etc. I can't seem to get motivated or find the time to plan and shop for the week, or make my lunch for work. And the lack of healthy food is affecting my energy level. Anyone else in a food rut?

@trackgirlparis‌ I've been feeling the same way and couldn't tell if it's PPD/PPA or just situational. I made an appt but my dr did tell me on the phone it can happen anytime up to a year PP! I hope you start feeling better soon, I know it's a miserable and usually lonely place!

Thank you! I'm sorry you're feeling that way too
