@TallMomma29‌ Yeah, I'd have to go from TriCare Prime to TriCare standard to get civilian care which is like $12/month instead of free. The hospital stay is $23/night instead of $13 with prime. I think it's worth it, but I feel so snobby. Haha. Whatever. The military hospital smells like poop all the time. Ughhhhh.

If it's that cheap, I'm not sure why you are even questioning it.

Agreed! I thought I was going to have to pay regular copays for OB visits and a percentage of the hospital bill if I switched. As soon as I heard it was only that tiny fee for the hospital stay, I switched!

@bullybutt What a douche. I wouldn't tell him shit about your baby's name until it's time to fill out the birth certificate.

So... I spend most of my down time on the verge of tears. But, there is no rhyme or reason for it, so I am assuming my PPD is starting early. It is not debilitating, but I am glad that I am recognizing it so I can be on the meds as soon as I need them rather than losing the first 6 weeks with this one like I did with the last. I mean, I was there and spent that time with him. But, I barely remember them and did not have much of a bond with him at all.

I'm not. He doesn't know that we are having a girl. I'm seriously thinking that I'm going to birth this baby on my own and just text him when she arrives. Lord, he would be livid!

i can - DH called my son's blow-outs "shoulder blades" b/c the poop would go all the way up his onesie to his shoulder blades. we would have trouble taking off the onesie without getting poop in his hair. i don't see how that would make it much better (not to mention, it doesn't look all that comfy), but i can see how someone thought of it!

What would you do (low-risk pregnancy): Deliver at a relatively bare bones military hospital with unfriendly staff for close to free or switch insurance, primary care doctor and OB so you could deliver in a brand new up to date hospital with nice staff who are all lactation consultants for a little more money? Am I being a dumb princess for not wanting to deliver at the smelly old army hospital?

I don't know if this makes a difference for you with it being a military hospital, but most OBs won't let you switch after a certain point. We're moving on the 12th and while I started looking for a new OB (since I also absolutely hate my OB's office and don't trust them at all) around 27 weeks, absolutely none would take me past 30 weeks if there was ANY way I could still go to the old one. I honestly thought it was really, really weird- what if I moved further away and COULDN'T still go to the same doctor? Oh well. I guess I'm saying I would look into finding the new OB before you commit to any drastic changes.

I just had two burritos and a can of Coke. My God, the belching.

purpleXdandelion · May 2014

DH has a work event/BBQ today but I'm not going. It'll be about 8 hours of sitting on benches/the ground and my swollen feet and giant belly couldn't handle that. Instead, I rented a movie, bought popcorn and sour patch kids and will be having a movie night alone. I'm pumped.

Also *one month* till baby Theo gets cut out of me!

ichamommy · May 2014

VENT - so I was all excited when a customer asked me point blank today if I was pregnant.

Then I go to lunch and the stupid effing hostess at the mexi place still insisted I check out their margarita menu. (Sure bitch, I'd love nothing more... Oh wait.....)

I heard that, too. I called the place I want to deliver and their OBs are more than happy to take me at 32 weeks. I think it has to do with the fact that I just moved here 3 weeks ago and have had no complications. I've also only seen my military Dr. once and it was just for vitals and measurements.

Bitch/rant: I pretty much have names picked out for #2 but could have been swayed if "ex" had a preference. I sent him an email on Tuesday with the list of 3 names that I was contemplating. I thought I would give him the courtesy of putting in his 2 cents or blowing my mind with a name of his own choosing. His response that I got at 10pm last night was "yeah, they all sound like shit". YTF do I even try?

This is exactly why I don't ask stbxh. He says he has no preference but everything I liked he shot down. Well, I guess his kid is going to end up with a name he hates because "he had no preference". I. Don't. Care. Maybe he should discuss his preference with his new gf.

DO IT!!! I can't imagine why you'd even want him there tbh.

I second this! If I was in your situation, I would not want my ex at the hospital at all! He does not have a right to be there just because he is the father... and you don't need the added stress!

rattlecanqueen · May 2014

@mamakiss‌ glad baby and you are fine! I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers that you can keep little one cooking.

@bullybutt‌ sorry your ex is a jerk and you have to deal with that crap.

beff12 · May 2014

On the radio this morning, they were talking about the awkward moment when you mistake someone for being pregnant when they're not. A lady called in and had the "perfect" solution - "don't ask her if she's pregnant, ask her if she's wearing maternity clothes!" Uh what? Isn't that the same thing? I couldn't wrap my brain around that one.

abundancenow · May 2014

@zarkarella‌ It's great that you're recognizing the symptoms, rather then getting caught up in emotions. I'm sorry that you went through such a tough time with #1 and hope that experience makes this one easier.

sxymamakat · May 2014

Hugs, lady! You're definitely smart to reach out now rather than waiting.

The highlight of my week, I got to pull all my team into my office, tell them what badasses they are and give them annual bonuses. Then today I convinced my boss that my entire team deserved promotions at their annual review. Im really proud bc I hand picked the whole team and they are well respected in our office.

Emilyfae · May 2014

DH: Can I get you anything? (on the way back from the gym)

Me: No, not unless you can find me some donuts.

DH: What kind?

Me: Whatever.

DH: The "Pregnant Wife" kind? (I hear multiple guys snicker in the background)

Me: Yes. Exactly.

I'm glad he's having a good laugh, but he better bring me my damn donuts.

jnnfrrose6 · May 2014

DH is having a guy's weekend which leaves me home alone with DS. No big deal, but the park we live 3 blocks from is having their annual music and food fest. That is definitely not happening for me tomorrow, but I did load DS in the stroller and hoofed it over there tonight (they had at least 20 food trucks at this thing, hello pregnant woman's dream). It's down a hill and up another to get there (and of course the same coming back). And then it started to rain on the walk over. Whatever. This lady had some buffalo Mac & cheese followed by homemade vanilla custard with chocolate sprinkles. The music was good too for being the first act of the weekend. Honestly, it was a really nice memory to make with DS with just the two of us before this LO came.

I just watched Titanic on TV and even though I've seen it 100 times I'm now sitting here trying not to ball my eyes out. On top of it DH has a cold and it makes me want to cry even more... And I have no Idea why...

gallifreygirl · May 2014

I feel like such an absolute bitch but I hate the way that MIL constantly shops for LO, like it really really bothers me. And I don't know if it's because she doesn't ask me if I already have things before she goes off and gets them, or if it's the way that gushes about everything that she gets (and some of the clothes she gets is like 18M 24M and really not cute in my opinion) or it could just be that I'm a horribly selfish person and I've been told I'm not allowed to buy anything else until after my second shower a month from now and she's getting things or clothes for the baby at least a couple times a week. She was showing me this bag of clothes that she had gotten at a yard sale (none of which I would actually put on the baby) and I just wanted to cry and scream it's my baby not yours. So yes I am a possibly the worst person in existence.

I love this! So glad you had a great time and made good memories together. I love food and music fests and it sounds like that one was a great one! Jealous! Now I want Mac n cheese

I am at that place where hunger meets angry and all hell breaks loose.

Work was hell today and I got home 90 min late. As usual there are no fucking dinner plans. My mom had cake, my DH has been asleep for the last hour+ and its now 9pm.

I HAVE to eat. Stupid GD means I need a dinner. And a decent dinner at that.
But there is nothing in the house. There is chicken in the fridge but there is no point to cooking and making a meal for just me. I refuse to eat fast food, I had it for lunch (because see previous statement about today being hell). Not to mention, its hell on my numbers.

I don't even know what to do except sit around pissed off because no one in my house seems to need to eat normally. I can't even lay down and be angry because the stomach acid starts coming up because I haven't eaten.

I just want to scream and throw somthing and have some cereal and then go to bed.

Vent over. Sorry guys. I just needed to get that out.

This was the first movie dh and I went to and I've seen it so many times, but I will still choke up at certain points when I watch it, or even hear the musical score. Never let go...
