SS: My fingers are crossed today. I had my doctor's appt yesterday and she's placed me on reduced hours at work. Now I have to meet with my boss/HR this morning to see if they'll accommodate. I'm really hoping they do because I don't want to be taken totally off 10 weeks before my due date! I'll go nuts! Nuts I tell you!

AW: We got to see the girls' yesterday and they're doing really good! My sassy one (baby A) is still breech and the kicky one (B) is still vertex. Despite all the vag kicks and cramping my cervix is still a 4.5 and doing really good, yay. We have our growth scan Thursday where we'll see how big they are and how they're growing in relation to each other.

LindsayDesigner · April 2014

I'm going to post in here because...
I've had a cold the past few days and it SUCKS.

I haven't had more than three hours of consecutive sleep for almost a week. I realize that in two months I'll be back to that but I'm not there yet!

My sweet little DD has been fighting naps so I haven't taken any.

And, to wrap up this whine-fest, a little AW. I made this for my nephew for his birthday:

I'm turning in my letter of resignation today and it's not an April Fool's joke!!

FAWKES81 · April 2014

I finally just "came out" on FB. Wonder how many people will think it's an April Fool's joke?

Also, I'M SO EXCITED for FRIDAY! We have an elective 3D/4D scan where our families are going with us to see the chubby cuteness that is our little boy!!!! I can't wait to compare with our mom/dads who they think he may look like. I'm really excited to see my Daddy's reaction too.

My yard before the blizzard and after the blizzard.. Went from feeling like spring to feeling like Christmas in a day!

I feel you. It's zero here this morning. I just want to wear flip flops.

I'd like to even just have the option to wear flip flops! Or go places without having to pack my belly into my coat just to zip it up! I refuse to buy a maternity winter jacket now lol. Why do we live here?!

otter1103 · April 2014

My just turned 14 yr old daughter told me she had to talk to me while driving to school this morning. I said go for it. She was wishy washy about telling me because she said I'd get mad. (Gulp) I said tear off the band aid. Tell me. She said well, you know how you are? Me too. (screech!) I about wrecked the car with a WHAT?!?! How do you know?!
She laughs and says April Fool's... I hate this freaking day and now my day is ruined because of her "joke" and me having more to worry about with her now. Not funny at all. And now I'm nauseous X( :-& [-(

Mia081081 · April 2014

I just ugly cried after dropping DD off at preschool. She screamed/cried for 80 minutes because she didn't want to wear her uniform. She's never done this. I had to wrestle her into a uniform and then wrestle her into the car while she was screaming. Got to school late and she was still crying when I left her with the teacher. I feel like a bad mom.

abastian00 · April 2014

LindsayDesigner I can't believe you MADE that. I am beyond impressed!

erind228 · April 2014

At my appointment on Friday, my fundal height was measuring 33 weeks instead of 30. My last baby was 9.12 at birth. I'm starting to freak out a tad, but we get another ultrasound to see what percentile baby is. Looking forward to another peek at baby.

coffee89 · April 2014

The idea of working on my registries makes me want to throw a full on tantrum. I'm not even sure why I feel so anxious, stressed and worked up over something so dumb. I think tonight I'm going to make DH sit down and tackle some of it for me.

amackattack · April 2014

We had a baby shower Saturday! It was a blast and we got tons of cute clothes. My H spent a lot of time snuggling my cousin's 3 month old baby girl. He's going to be a complete natural and I can't wait to see how much he loves his little girl. Now I just have to wait until the second shower is over and then I can stock up on the things we still need.

I had an appointment yesterday where I finally asked my doctor a ton of questions about what to do if I think I'm in labor, when to quit traveling further than an hour away, how long she'll let me be pregnant before inducing, and other stuff. She said I am measuring exactly on track for 28 weeks. This pregnancy has been so uneventful, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, and I'm almost positive I'll have to be induced at 41 weeks. The good news is, even if I am induced at 41 weeks, my H will likely still be able to make the wedding he's in on the 28th...thank goodness!

I also had an appt with the derm this morning. He was super happy and surprised with the vast improvement my skin has made! It still looks pretty horrible since there are bright red spots all over where the pimples used to be....but I'm getting less and less and he doesn't think I will end up with scars. He prescribed natural sunshine along with the antibiotics and cream I'm already on

It's funny because over the weekend I saw my out of town family for the first time in a long time, and my uncle commented on how badly I'm breaking out. When I told him it's a lot better than it was, he said..."It's BETTER?!" "Is there something you can put on it???" People are silly.

Mia081081 · April 2014

@ugabamafans - Thanks! Feel better. I can usually snap her out of her tantrums, but this was nuts. Poor girl was tired since yesterday was her first day back after spring break, even though she slept 11.5 hours. Glad it's over though!

I won one of the bump giveaway prizes! Unless it's an April fool's joke and bumpjackie likes to get people excited for nothing haha.

I can't believe we're due in TWO months! So many babies will start coming NEXT month!

(probably not me, as I'm due the 9th and DD was induced a week late, but whatev).

Ummmm...thanks for freaking me out! Time needs to slow down!

Mztwilson · April 2014

@ohyealovely‌ I feel like today would be a bad day to post the winners

congrats to you and @FAWKES81‌ and @colllydon‌!

jaybee11 · April 2014

I feel like an official adult today--DH and I finalized our wills this morning! I know there was a lot of discussion about doing that last week, but just wanted to share that it was pretty easy, and the peace of mind is definitely worth it!

rainbowdashh · April 2014

We took the dogs to be groomed this weekend. My poor pomeranian's hair was a mess so I asked if they could shave him. They said they would and I showed them a picture from about a year and a half ago when I had him shaved last. This is what I picked up... I could not stop laughing. Definitely much shorter than the last buzz he had.

lest12 · April 2014

I am in rare, lunatic-like form today.

Things need to get done around our house (like, the roof needs a patch maybe and porches need to get painted) and for some reason it is impossible for anyone to come out and give us an estimate or even pick up the phone.

It's making me super anxious.

On another SS note, I don't know what color to paint the porch. Our house is white with green shutters, a red bench/swing and the actual 'deck' part was grey.

Now we are going to have blue shutters and swing but I don't know what color to paint the deck/floor. Grey again? Brown? Blue? WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT???

pcourtade · April 2014

I did my 3 hour glucose test today. There were 2 other women doing it so I had someone to talk to so that was nice. I did not know that they would be drawing blood every hour so now my arms are nice and sore and slightly bruised. I look like a pregnant druggie : (
We are also having my dad and his wife over for dinner and I'm making something I have never made before so that'll be interesting.

Mia081081 · April 2014

@LindsayDesigner - That is amazing! You should sell these

ricecakes1216 · April 2014

My brother is having a boy in September. I am really excited that our sons will be so close in age and get to grow up together. H and my brother are best friends, so I can see our future and it kind of scares me. Ha. We'll have little mini versions of them on our hands. Lord, help us!

Fisher Price customer service is awesome! With DD we had the snugabunny swing and she loved it. She loved it so much that it was the only thing she would nap in until she was 13-14months old. Well the motor blew out because she was too heavy, apparently the posted weight limit is about 5 lbs too high for the motor to handle. I called customer service to see if I could buy a replacement motor piece but instead they sent me new swing for free! My swing was also out of warranty. Awesome!

That's awesome! I love when you get really awesome customer service, it makes me love their products even more.

One year for Christmas, I ordered DH a t-shirt from his favorite band's website. Turned out they ran out of that design in his size and emailed me to choose a different one. I was bummed because that was the only one I liked and I was concerned about it getting there in time and told them all this. So they paid for express shipping, and not only did I get the T-shirt, but they also sent a signed poster, a concert drum stick, a few bumper stickers, and gave me like 10% off the shirt for the inconvenience.

jshrop · April 2014

I am having a fantastic day today! First, my hubs had a break to come home for breakfast, so when he got home he climbed into bed to snuggle for a few minutes before I got up. (I'm cherishing little things like this with him).... Then, my girlfriend started texting me saying she was going through all her baby stuff. She already has three bags of clothes, a bag of blankets, and a box of supplies for us! And she hadn't gotten to her attic yet. I love this girl! Finally, I went to the grocery store and randomly met a woman at the deli. Her husband works with mine. They are new to the area and I freaking love her already!!!! Plus she has a cutie pie little guy. So, yeah for new friends!!! Now I'm making cookies and fixing my face because I just ugly cried at that Huggies commercial. Damn hormones. Oh, AND MY SHOWER IS THIS WEEKEND! I can't wait to see my friends and family! It's been 4 months since I've seen my family and some of my friends, it's been nearly a year!

THANKS!!! I didn't even know I had won until I saw @ohyealovely post and I decided to look at my task bar and saw I had an email/notifications. I wonder which one we won???

I'm really excited about this because I NEVER WIN ANYTHING!!! WOOOHOOO. Sorry to all you other ladies that tried and didn't get a win.

*Edit - I found out what I won! One of the necklaces!

jc51206 · April 2014

I just called Kolcraft to see if the Jeep Liberty stroller we used with DS was covered under their recall--we can't find the model number anywhere because we ripped off the tags. The guy was amazing and said not to worry, he'll send us three new tires anyway! So happy I got great service and it should be way easier than replacing the tube in the front tire!

Well, well, well...looks like it isn't always a magical time over on babycenter: https://community.babycenter.com/post/a48854533/a_victim_of_the_july_2014_board?cpg=2&csi=2450862605&pd=1

WHY IS EVERYONE ON MY ASS?

Incident #1: the grease-covered dude hanging out of a truck yesterday hitting on me at the stoplight and saying, "Yeah, you girl!"

Incident #2: the dude panhandling outside the grocery store last night. Other people ignored him and walked past. I did the same, but he began following me across the parking lot toward my car, asking me to stop and harassing me. I felt like complete fatigued crud, turned around, and snapped, "WHAT?" Because -- dude -- following me to my car is not fucking cool. He asked me for money. I half-yelled at him, in the middle of the parking lot road, "DOES IT SEEM LIKE I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU ANY FUCKING MONEY?" That worked.

Incident #3: on my lunch break, I ran to Target to buy the PNP on sale (and use my coupons, whuuuuuuut!). I walked through the door like a normal person does and the woman behind me CHASTISED ME, saying, "You're supposed to hold the doors for people behind you." DA FUQ? You're a healthy, capable woman in your mid-thirties. I have no obligations to you.

BACK OFF, PEOPLE. Back the hell off.

I think I would find this terrifying.

I hope things get better @wtfisup!

PressLove · April 2014

Super excited. I just found out how many items I'm getting from from friend whose daughter is a year old. We're getting a Chicco stroller, a swing, another base for our Britax carseat, and clothes that I think LO can wear. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I've just ticked off big ticket items.

wtfisup · April 2014

Guys. We're going to have BAAABIEEESSS. Isn't that crazy?

(I think I'm just beginning to realize.)

lest12 · April 2014

@lest12 with your description of the other colors, I'd stick with grey!

Thanks @lizardbreath14! As much as I wanted to do something different to switch it up, I think you are right!

I hope the blue shutters/bench instead of red and green will be enough to give it a different look...

Thanks

We bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee about a month ago with cash. Yesterday, I got a letter from the dealership where we bought it giving my credit score (which is excellent) where they had run a credit report and stating that they were rejecting me for financing due to the fact that I didn't not have a current vehicle loan.

I just found that it was funny that they rejected me for a car loan (which we didn't apply for) for not having a current car loan.

Also WTH are you running credit reports on my for non-existent loan applications???

Anyone else ever had this happen before?

No, but it certainly makes me question their competence with anyone's financial info. Morons!

I am super jealous of all of you ladies who are giving notice and are going to be staying home after your LOs come; it just won't work for us financially right now.

Me too.

I'm hoping to do some job searching while I'm home on leave, just in case there's something else out there...

wtfisup · April 2014

I kind of feel like I'm getting the best of both worlds. I really love my job and working is crucial to my sanity. I don't do really well at home for long periods. Thus, I get 12 weeks off with pay to be with the baby and enjoy summer + my husband will be off for most of the time with me. So we get to tag team new parenthood, visit family, grill out, etc. But then, I get to go back to work and not be trapped with the baby.

Taymiller · April 2014

Random.....I don't want to give birth, I want to have the baby but I do not want to actually birth it. I am scared shitless of giving birth! DH isn't concerned, he has delivered lots of babies and it is just a part of life. It is looking like we are going to have a c-section which makes me feel ok but still I do not want to give birth. Sorry for the randomness but I just got overwhelmed with this feeling of dread!

I do feel like I couldn't have planned this baby any better... I am SO excited to be off during the summer and to be able to enjoy some summer living with the baby here. I'm really looking forward to it.

I had the spring cleaning bug this past weekend myself. The weather was terrible so my second floor got totally scrubbed down. It felt so good!

otter1103 · April 2014

I need everyone with the nesting and spring cleaning bug to come to my house! I have so much to do, I keep waiting for my nesting to kick in to get the drive instead of getting overwhelmed.
