S/o the Duggars: I don't watch them regularly, but when I can't find anything else to watch it's an ok fallback. Not going to touch their decisions on number of kids or how to raise them. Just want to say they just showed the daughter who's training to be a midwife assist with a birth. Wow! That's going to be us (me probably not in a tub with no drugs) in 6-10 more weeks! I may have gotten a little teary eyed at that.
@bullybutt...does it seem like the May Siggy Challenge thread is getting enough action? I'm not sure all who participated have "checked in" so to speak.
Also, is it not one vote per siggy?
I LOVE TITTED EVERYTHING. I LOVE ALL THE TITS.
I MEAN THE BEBE ANIMALS.
You're DOING IT WRONG, YO!!!!!!!! No, it's been lacking in interest so it seems. I don't want to clog up the thread by bumping it back up. I say we just vote on whats up there and "snooze ya lose" to the others.
Guess who forgot she had to represent her employer in an appeal hearing today (over the phone thank goodness) on an employment uninsurance claim? This girl :-bd
First one I've had to do (been in this position for a year). Luckily, we caught it in time and I was able to get the info together I needed.
We took our hospital tour last night and OH MY GOD the BABIES. I was irrationally upset when we had to leave the nursery and the fat chunky little budda babies.
I also laugh a lot when Im nervous (my mom tells a story of when I was 7 getting my tonsils out, they rolled me down the hall away from her and I was cackling like an idiot the whole way). We watched a labor video and I giggled through so many parts Im sure everyone thought I was no where near mature enough to have a baby. Oh well.
And I am super jealous of all of your growth scans. Maybe Ill get lucky. Due to anterior placenta I get maybe 15 movements a day or so, and thats normal - I just cant feel most of them. So all the kick count things scare the bejeezus out of me because I cant even really do them. Yesterday it was so hot at work I was sweating so badly my pants were wet and I had to make sure everyone else was in the same boat because I briefly convinced myself my water broke. When will I stop worrying constantly about this baby???? Oh right... never. :-P
Omg, I just woke up from the best nap. It's hard to get one of those now and days but, when I wake up actually hearing that last snore with my hair and a red imprint stuck on my face? That means it was a damn good nap. I pretty sure this deserved to be shared.
So I am Type 1 Diabetic and had one of my monthly growth U/S yesterday. At 33weeks+ they estimated babies weight to be 6lbs 5oz or 95%...that a big baby I get it. But the Dr, not my normal OB, basically told me this is all my fault for not having better control of my diabetes. I wanted to slap her! My A1C has been between 5.9-6.1 up until last week when I was still only at 6.4. I'm still fuming about it 24 hours later. Needless to say I would be happy never seeing her again!

I'm pretty sure this lady is crazy. I'm over here sobbing to my husband last night that I just don't want to ever be pregnant again and please don't make me have more babies* and I hope this one is enough and will you please stop and get pizza so I don't have to cook dinner and insert ugly cry here.
*my DH and I totally don't have this kind of relationship where he could "make" me be pregnant. This was pregnancy craziness talking, please no one call DHS.
@tundrabunny was the new baby care insightful? Or generalized? DH's coworker (who just had baby 2 mnths ago) told him New Baby Care and Child Birthing series are a complete waste of time because 1) instincts take over and 2) nurses teach you more than the classes. Now he wants to back out but I'm hesitant.

My husband and I were talking about replacing our vehicles in a year and half when they're both paid off (trade in one or the other), and he said "Well, by then you'll be pregnant with our second, so we'll want something easy for you to manage Sadie and the pregnancy at the same time."
Whoa, buddy. Back that ass up...I haven't been so miserable ever before. I know that once this LO comes, I'll look back at pregnancy with apathy, if not fondness, but right now is not the time to bring up doing it again. I think the phrase (and please don't think I'm ungrateful or anything other than melodramatic and emotional) "This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me" has crossed my lips...

I totally hear you on this! My DH has repeatedly referenced upgrading to a larger SUV "soon" when we have #2, and getting the City Select that converts to a double stroller so we don't have to buy a new stroller "so soon".... AHH!!! Please don't talk to me about another baby until I get this one out and recover!
And I mean like REALLY recover. I'm going to need a lot of cocktails and sushi and laying on my stomach and not needing to pee every 20 minutes and climbing up the stairs without losing my breath before I'm ready to do this again ;-)

First one I've had to do (been in this position for a year). Luckily, we caught it in time and I was able to get the info together I needed.
I forgot an inservice meeting this morning, so I felt like an asshole when I strolled in an hour later fresh as a daisy while everyone else was bleary eyed from having to be here early.
Total pregnancy card moment. Oh well, 2 weeks left!
But yeah Jen, that SUCKS. Can you reschedule?
No rescheduling on my end. Luckily the guy called early and was directed to the wrong person. She came to ask me about it while he called back (I guess he called early to confirm we were ok to have the hearing) so we were able to get the employee file together and the back up info I needed to handle it. Now we just wait to receive the decision.
DH and I had a date for lunch! We had Indian food at the local joint. I'm full as a tick, sleepy and without a clue as to how to stay awake for the rest of the work day!
edit: to remove like 8 words that had no business being there.
My DH also mentioned something about "the next baby" last night. I told him he better figure out how to grow a uterus and get pregnant if he wants another one. I actually do want a third child, but this entire pregnancy has been miserable. I can't wait for it to be over and I'm not signing on to do this again any time soon. I need some time for the amnesia to set in before we even talk about number 3.
Ive been pretty lucky and the worst of this pregnancy for me has been the exhaustion... Id like to have another soon, so theyre closer in age but... honestly? Im scared of being this tired and trying to take care of a walking baby.
I'm the opposite of some of y'all. Even though this pregnancy is not without it's downsides (big middle finger to GD!), I am quite sad that it's probably my last one. I know DH wants to be done...and 2 kids is definitely more affordable than 3, but...babies!
Just bumped the may siggy thread, because BABY KITTEN DRINKING FROM A BOTTLE but seriously @mrscurlygurl is hands down the winner in my opinion. I freaking love that baby and puppy!

I'm in the middle as well. I want 5 mostly because I want another girl. But being able to afford kids is more important than having another girl. I just hope at least one of my sons continues to like girly things lol. It's going to be interesting trying to keep up with a bunch of macho manly boys if not. But! It'll be a great experience either way I'm sure.
I don't mind answering! I carried them all!! if we do have another I want to try to convince her to carry him/her just to have the experience. But DW likes to play the "guy role" if that makes any sense to you. If you were to label it, she is the "stud" in the relationship and I'm the "Fem". Not quite transsexual but definitely not girly. So she doesn't feel like she'd be comfortable carrying a child.
ETA: and thank you btw! Lol but you haven't seen my thighs and ass scary.
I'm having a really shitty afternoon at work. I have a client hammering me because he didn't do something he was supposed to do. I'm tired and cranky. Normally we have a great rapport and I feel almost like he's betrayed me by acting like this (melodramatic, much?). I'm just ready to have a sweet little baby to hold and be done with these people for awhile.
Please let this be a sweet little baby instead of one that cries 18 hours a day.

Re: Random thread- for all things random.
I died laughing at this gif from and Aug 14 Challenge "Animals Being Dicks".

Can you send the link you found it on? I'm having trouble finding it.

1. I'm mind blown that you know about Elizabeth bathory. Back when I thought I was a vampire (goth phase) I did quite the extent of research on her.
2. Sex and crack, love. Sex and crack.
3. Lol no, really, Im way more active than I talk about. Sept right now. Eff activity.
