So FedEx put my package in the mailbox and now I have my swimsuit! I am pleasantly surprised. It's a maternity one, obv, and is the comfiest thing I've worn all year. I'm gonna live in this thing for the next six weeks.

I have died every day waiting for you. Darling, don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. And all along I believed I would find you, time has brought your heart to me. I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you a thousand more.
Mister fixed our washing machine!!!!! We've had to baby sit every single load of laundry since early April. Thank goodness. I was about to go out and buy a whole new set this weekend in a fit of rage.
Bagels are okay. nothing to flip over perhaps this is better for UO.
Jen, I must ask... Is cream cheese a big thing in Philly? If so, why?
@ichabody Lol not that I know of. Although, I will admit. "Philadelphia" cream cheese is the shit. I put it on anything and everything. I'll eat it straight out of the container.

Parking lots - Last night the woman in front of me parked in the 'expecting mothers' parking space and CLEARLY was not pregnant while I had to park no further away but glared at her while I waddled by. Its almost funny how much this annoyed me...I wanted to park in front of the poorly depicted pregnant woman sign, Ha!
The day before I had a guy move his car because he parked to close to me and I couldn't maneuver this bump to get in my car....my sister in law pointed out "wait until you are trying to get a baby car seat in when idiots park to close to you" ... I hadn't thought of that :-S

How do you know she obviously wasn't pregnant? She very well might not have been, but I wasn't really showing until nearly 8 months along. I never used the expectant mother spots for that reason because I didn't want people to side eye me. But she could have been early on in her pregnancy and just excited about the fact that she is an expectant mom!

I didn't park in the spot until I actually felt the effects of pregnancy (swollen feet, waddling, etc.). Now DH gets excited to park at the PX and commissary because our spot outranks all the super high ranking officers spots. Oh lord.
@JamieSejkora i watched that last night with DH and totally lost my shit. He looks so purely happy .... I want all the puppies!
I was a hot mess for about 5-10 minutes! What a little sweetheart! Lets just move somewhere and open a puppy plantation and we can just snuggle and play with them all day long! Easton and Brom would love it, I'm sure.
Now I have the Dalmatian Plantation song from 101 Dalmatians stuck in my head!!

That's hilarious! I haven't been on the base here while pregnant to see if there is a spot like that here!
I was in worse shape when I wasn't showing (super nauseated/dizzy all the time and no energy). While I didn't use the expectant mother spots since I didn't look pregnant (and I figure they are more for the waddlers anyway!), I did take advantage of pre-boarding on flights for people with disabilities/people who need more time a few times. I'm sure people were looking at me with judgy eyes, but I didn't care because when I did not play the pregnancy card, I'd end up nearly passing out or throwing up waiting in line while everyone slowly figured out how to put their bags in the overhead bin like it takes rocket science. Whyyyyy is it so hard for people to quickly board a plane?!

One of the number one arguments I gave in our decision to get a minivan instead of another small SUV. Sliding doors, yo.
((((All the hugs)))) @ichabody - i imagine that there will be a lot of good days and bad days ahead, but always know that you are doing the best you can for that baby, and hold on to that love.
I know that it's possible that getting away to see a therapist might be difficult once LO is here (sitter issues, etc.) But a friend of mine actually saw her therapist via Skype while she was living in Singapore...Maybe that would be an option just so that it's easier to get sessions in while being a single mom. None of my business...Just a thought in case you felt you needed it, but the logistics are hard.
I have my weekly check up today. Had to add an ultrasound to it because of the fun on Friday/Saturday. I have no reason to expect anything out of the ordinary (though it was the same on Friday) but I'm nervous that they'll see low fluid again (for no known reason at this point) and I'll be having a c-section this afternoon.

Good luck! Have you been chugging water? My fluid was significantly lower last Monday from previous weeks, but it came back up this week and I'd made a conscious effort to drink more water all week long. Had to have helped a bit, right?
So I officially spend way too much time with you ladies. Last night I had a dream where you were all basically saying "you think everyone is in love with you when actually everybody hates you". And then I couldn't sit with you.
I think my Regina George award has now come full circle.
Here's what's funny: I had a dream that you had your babeh! Eep.

Quoting myself. Fluids are still low and I'm having the baby tomorrow morning. Holy crap.
Switched to decaf coffee this morning since I am too lazy to go to Target and restock. Ironically, LO is all over the place- more so than with the caffeinated cup. He has been hiccuping, swooshing, kicking, and readjusting himself constantly for the last hour!!!

Oh no!! Does this mean you don't get your VBAC chance? Prayers for you and baby!

No VBAC for me. My OB won't induce with a previous csection, so I either had to wait for labor to start naturally or have a csection if the baby needed to come early. Since I haven't had any contractions or signs of labor yet, csection it is. Obviously not what I was hoping for, but whatever gets the baby here safely.

I have so much hate. And so many questions. Why still? And why was I so easy to replace. Why. . . .
rhetorical.
I asked myself the same question when my exh chose someone else over me. I was extremely angry and hurt and wanted to bash his face in. But, by feeling that way, he was still winning and I was the only one hurting. He didn't care about what he did to me. So, I made a choice to heal myself and let him deal with his screw up. Believe me, him leaving me for someone else was the best thing that happened to me. And I can say that him leaving you is HIS loss, not yours. He's a jackass who doesn't deserve you. Remember, you have the best thing about your relationship growing inside you. If you have not yet, please seek counseling to grieve this properly and become healthy and whole again.
@ichabody I'm not trying to snark, but am genuinely asking, are you at all seeing a therapist or counselor? I can't even begin to imagine how hard what you are going through is, and just think it might be useful for your well being to see someone.
Big hugs to you!
Unfortunately, yes I've been seeing a counselor every week since January. It's just so hard to process and it seems like I'll make 50 good strides and then bam 10 strides backwards. Obviously I'm getting better and more able to accept things but I still have bad days and sometimes they are very hard bad days.
Thanks to all of you ladies, most of who can't comprehend and won't ever have to experience this situation, but nonetheless are understanding and supportive of me through this. Love you ladies.
