  I had a dream last night that one of us A14ers, not sure who, threw @KendraColeslaw‌ a baby shower and I was helping to set up and was trying to put out cokes for the guests to drink and the host got pissed and was like no way no sodas at the shower Kendra would hate that!! So then the host and Kendra hated me!

  It ain't a real party if there's no coke

  Bed rest does have its perks. Why work when you can snuggle with this cutie during Sesame Street?

  I keep having this nagging feeling that something is going on with Carter... my abdomen kept getting painful last night on his side and I am not sure if I am feeling him move or if it is just Patrick. So thankful I have an OB appt today. Gawd, so stressful already, I am going to be a wreck with outside babies.

  I have a dilemma. There is a baking contest at work this afternoon and I want to eat all the desserts. But I have an appointment with my doctor right after and at the last appointment I had just eaten a great big stack of pancakes with syrup and my urine test was apparently somewhat concerning. Do I eat the desserts and hope for the best, or skip so I don't risk having two concerning appointments in a row and potentially worrying my doctor?

  Thanks @LuckySquare‌, @poru, and @snmetz7. It feels better to hear those reassuring words from other pregnant moms and not just DH.

  Hugs @aviola329‌. I have no actual advice except maybe he is acting out because he knows he won't be an only child soon?
  
  I'm sorry you've had a bad day. Hopefully it gets better soon.

  @aviola329‌ how old is he? Have you been able to spend some time searching for a root cause? Is he truly hungry? Using food to fill some other void?
  When I was a kid, I started abusing food when my parents got divorced. Having that full feeling in my stomach somehow helped make up for the emptiness I felt. I binge ate frequently, but only when I was alone.
  What kinds of foods does he take? Are they foods he usually has access to or not?
  
  As far as tomorrow goes, depending on his age, you may still be able to salvage the day. Sit down and talk with him about what's going on. If he's acting out on mixed emotions from the changes he's going through right now, all of the "stuff" getting taken away might not do much good. Maybe what he really needs right now is 1 on 1 time.
  
  This is all just speculation since I don't know the entire situation, but the long and short of it is there's got to be a bigger issue than naughtiness.

  This is not what it feels like to be squished in a box. Nor an oil drum, either... BTDT. 

  I'd tell you more about why I know these things, but that's classified. For reals.

  
  

  Somedays, I'd vote for a box over this though.

  I'm gonna assume you know those things cause of military training - different ways to escape undetected in the case of a kidnapping. Just a guess though. I'm probably way off.

  Seriously, fuck today. Caught DSS eating random crap in bed he'd stollen out of the refrigerator....again. This has been a recurring problem. He eats plenty at mealtimes, just never comes into our room to tell us he's awake or needs to eat on these random mornings....he takes the food and hides it (tells me he knows it's wrong!!). We thought we'd stopped the behavior but all of a sudden he's started up again. Last weekend he lost tv and a bunch of his toys for the week, we were supposed to have one of his friends over tomorrow (so the mom and I could go baby shopping, something I've been looking forward to for like a month) and he's known that all week as motivation, and now I've had to tell that mom the friend can't come over. I'm so fed up I just screamed into a pillow to keep from screaming at him. Any other moms have this type of food issue?! I'm at my wits end and have no idea what else to do (we don't spank).

  I can't remember how old you DSS is, can you put a child lock on the fridge. My Aunt had to do this with her grandson!

  I'm having a shitty day after overdoing it yesterday, and am having a pity party wherein I watch the movies I used to love as a kid. While hanging out in pajamas eating ice cream. Because dammit I'm still pregnant and just want my outside baby!
  
  Let's hope he develops better taste in movies than me... I just finished "Babysitter's Club" and it wasn't quite the life-changing film it was at age 10!

  @aviola329‌ so, actual question- were you wanting advice or were you just wanting to complain? The latter is completely acceptable, but your wording made it sound like you actually wanted input but you've shot down pretty much everything anyone has suggested. It sounds like you just needed a place to vent and that you may not be in the place to explore further options at this point. Hope your pedi is able to offer help and that you are able to go in there with an open mind during an already frustrating time.

  LO has been freaking me out all day. He wont move for like 3 hours then he will lightly tap something presumably in Morse code to make me feel better. I called my OB's office and the answering service lady was so rude I told her my concern and she said " The office isn't open now, call back later. This line is for emergencies." WTF? I called back 20 min later and the guy that answered at least said he send a fax over to the office. Since then I've gotten more movement and I'm not so worried.

  I hate this!! She is NOT there to determine what is an emergency!!!
