O.O I love it melted! It's all warm and gooey mmmmmm. Haha but I'd say about 15 seconds in the microwave and it shouldn't quite melt. Just warm up a bit. Haha I should have saved this for UO because clearly, I'm alone on this one.

@jensavicci‌ warm pie. My mind has too many sexual innuendos going on!

That's probably why @jensavicci prefers her pie warm.

Found a baby copperhead in the yard this evening. HOORAY. DH killed it, but my dumbass BIL and his girlfriend were out there. I had to tell them three times to not mention it to our kids.

BIL: ...why? Shouldn't they know?
Me: What? No. T loves animals. He knows not to mess with a snake, but if you tell him he saw one, he'll look for it.
BIL: Look for it? Why?
Me: ...because he's FIVE and he's a boy and he loves stuff like that. He'll want to find one, even if he knows not to touch it.
BIL: I think you should tell him so he'll be scared. I think it will have the opposite effect.
Me: I THINK YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MY CHILD.

Breathe in... breathe out. I swear to the good Lord above, if T comes and tells me "Uncle C said he saw a baby snake!", I will choke the shit out of BIL Darth-Vader style. AND I WILL LIKE IT.

ETA: Who the hell am I trying to kid? I would like it even if there wasn't a reason to do it.

I'm so frustrated with people. I may actually break down and cry if one more person says "OH! I'm sure you are having a boy! It has to be a boy since you already have a girl!"
It makes me feel like, what is it exactly about my girl that isn't enough to the point where I have to have a boy to compensate? What is that about?
I'm so sick of it. My mom and my MIL are the worst about it, but especially my mom. She insists that since I am carrying just like she did with my baby brother that this must be a boy. No matter how many times I say that my OB has said second pregnancies are usually carried lower she insists it's a boy.
I've been so excited about being "team green". I've been looking forward to the moment DH tells me we have a daughter or a son since I was six weeks pregnant (24 weeks almost!). Now I am so frustrated I just want to say open the stupid effing envelope so I can shut people up one way or the other.
/rant

Sorry you're getting frustrated about it. If it makes you feel any better, we already have a son, so we're getting the opposite comments. I guess the idea that someone could be happy with having their kids all the same sex, or that they REALLY DON'T CARE because it isn't that important. It's the stupid comments like that that make me even firmer in my stand to be team green.

I never had any desire to be team green, but I get comments all the time about how happy we must be to having "one of each" and while I AM over the moon about having a girl, it makes me feel bad about what people would say/think if we were having another boy. People do not think before they speak.

Anyone else being greeted by people by being called "Fatty"?
No?

Guess it's just me. My Father and brother think it's hiiiiilaaaarious to call me this when they see me.

I'm going to start calling my Father a "brain damaged Vietnam vet" and my brother a "crunchy Obama lovin' VW fucker." think that'll go over well?

I may be a little sensitive these days.

I think you are having a perfectly normal reaction for those comments! Both of them were surely taught from a young age to never call a woman fatty!! EVER!

Although my sister told me the other day I should go look at Maurice's for a dress for my shower because they have clothes for bigger people. Subtle huh? That sucked too

lol. She did say she didn't mean it in a mean way, but that didn't really help.

Oh but it's true. I am not a very small woman at all, even when not pregnant. Most places I have to buy a large or xlarge shirt. I have a shirt from Maurice's that is a medium and fits well while largely pregnant. It's too big when I'm not pregnant.

Hubby put on jazz while we ate, and now I'm lounging on the couch catching up on bump news and HOLY SHIT the baby just straight up kicked in time to the music. Obviously, I am gestating a musical genius.

January Bride · May 2014

It's 1 AM and I'm up working on work. Not because I am overly slammed at the moment, but because I spent the majority of my day slacking instead of actually doing my work. I'm so mad at myself for procrastinating, but I just can't help it. I feel checked out and I just want to stay home and do my 1,000 house projects I need to get done before the baby's arrival. But now I'm stuck writing legal memos at 1 AM (and clearly not working hard enough if I'm on the Bump at the same time). Ugh.

ichamommy · May 2014

After a particularly horrific night discussing custody with stbxh and meeting with my therapist and completely losing it emotionally, I've finally discovered that I am ready to be a mother. I will always do what's in the absolute best interest of my child. 1 Kings 3:25-27.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

I just got berated for 20 minutes for doing an analysis the wrong way. Except it wasn't wrong, my supervisor was looking at something old. After attempting to interrupt him many times to explain the methodology was correct I gave up and waited for him to stop so I could show him I did it correctly and that he was looking at the wrong thing.

FML...perhaps it is best to go back to when he never showed up for meetings at all.

But the payback is so sweet when you can be like BAHAHA MOTHA-EFFA I WAS RIGHT. One of my favorite things to do is attach emails proving why someone else is wrong when someone is trying to "school" me.

@BoraBoraBaby‌ Keeping you in my thoughts today!

Taking DH to the doctor at 10:20 to see how his ankle's healing from the wreck. I'm hoping he gets to quit wearing the boot, but I would be lying if I said I was ready for him to go back to work. I'm kind of loving him being home with me all day, even if our wallets suffer.

@tundrabunny Sorry you had a shitty start to your day! DH has been snoring more in the last 2 weeks than he ever did, but since he went and got himself hurt in the Tough Mudder, I'm trying to be sympathetic to the fact that he can't roll over easily or get comfortable. I'm about over it, though. 32 weeks pregnant here. I can't exactly roll over easily and get comfortable too! Hope you get the resolution you need!

likeanoldtimemovie · May 2014

@tundrabunny‌ You can still tell him you love him! Just let him know you still want to talk about what happened, you just wanted him to know you loved him.

cuntasaurusrex · May 2014

@boraborababy hugs and high hopes to you today

kwh33ls · May 2014

@tundrabunny we went through the same thing at the beginning of the pregnancy. DH has always been a snorer, but it's gotten heavier, and I sleep lighter now that I'm pregnant. In the beginning, I would bail out and go sleep in the guest room, but that stopped working when I started having hip pain every day from the guest bed. He has since taken over the guest room, and just goes to bed there rather than come to bed with me. I miss him, but I think it's saved my sanity.

jensavicci · May 2014

All the best luck in the world @BoraBoraBaby‌!

dobbyisfree · May 2014

Thinking of you today Bora!!!

And even though your husband got hurt, everytime I see you say Tough Mudder it makes me a little sad I cant go again this year. The one around here is exactly one week before my EDD. Definitely not allowed in! Im not at all the most athletic person, although I do have good running endurance, and it was the coolest thing Ive ever done. Loved it!

This AM i woke up and rolled out of bed... and theres a bunch of blood on my sheets. Not like a horror movie amount, but like a scratch that took a long time to clot. And I cant at all figure out where it came from. I have a bunch of scratches (2 cats and a dog) but nothing looks fresh enough for that. The mystery continues...

rattlecanqueen · May 2014

Katieryan13 · May 2014

Good luck today Bora! Hopefully you get good news either way!

I am sitting at the doctors office and they ran out of the tdap vaccine. I am secretly glad because dh could not make it and shots usually make me light headed.

I decided to try the "shave your bikini area by looking in the mirror" trick yesterday, since I really can't bend over any more or see that area at all. I thought I did a great job and was pretty proud of myself, until I went to use the bathroom and had blood all over the tp. I freaked out until I realized what it was from. Apparently the mirror trick didn't work as great as I thought. I don't think I'll be trying that again any time soon...

I gave up and had DH do that for me. It um......... let's just say it was a prelude to sexytime

Suffice it to say, I totes recommend it

DH won't do that. $:\$

@BoraBoraBaby Good luck today!! I'll be thinking about you.

@tundrabunny DH and I have gotten into more fights about his snoring, the most recent being last week when he fell asleep while we were watching TV. He had a sleep study done a few years ago, but I didn't like the doctor's advice. Surgery to remove his uvula was recommended, but I looked it up and there's only a 50% success rate so I wasn't thrilled with that. Any kind of minor intervention (like mouth guards) was dismissed and I thought that should be tried before major surgery. Plus this doctor didn't want to address DH's poor sleeping habits at all (going to bed whenever he feels like, not getting enough sleep and being overtired, falling asleep with tv and lights on, etc.) So now we're at a standstill. He's been sleeping in the guest room so I can get a good night's sleep since I've been so tired lately. It sucks, but the arguing ended. We'll need to deal with this in the future and get back on track.

It helps if you place a flat mirror on top of the closed toilet lid then straddle either side of the toilet.

Still not perfect and I get out of breath in like 4 seconds but it helped me a bit. Not sur eif that's already what you were doing!

Ha ha, I love it, that's awesome

Well, I may try this, but I think having DH do it may be riskier than risking cutting myself again. He was being very sweet and tried to paint my toenails the other day since I couldn't reach any more, and it looked like he just dumped the bottle of polish all over my feet (worse than 1982's photo she posted this week). So it's a gamble either way.
