I wish I could stay awake for more than 5 hours at a time. I'm so exhausted. So much to do. Ugh

DH said the other day "you know what I'm looking forward to when the baby is born?" I

I geared up for a sweet response because he has said some really heart warming things about the baby.

Then he said, "using the Kuerig in the guest waiting room at the hospital"

My underpants are not working for me today. I currently have them binderclipped so they will stay up and it is not working. I don't understand how I am so misshapen that only 3 pairs of underwear will stay on. The rest fall right off. Did I mention I'm wearing a dress?

So, I've been an ugly mess lately. Boobs all out, stomach looks like a deflating beach ball and dried milk everywhere. I don't feel very attractive and I don't feel very special (except the fact that I just pushed out a baby. That's pretty wild). DW and I aren't very talkative with each other at the moment because we're trying to balance things out with our kids, her job and other chaos. She's usually got our oldest two and I'm juggling Max and Nicky.

So, moments ago, I'm on the couch finishing up nursing Max and fighting myself from falling asleep. DW comes home with something behind her back but I'm so tired I didn't give a fudge. So she comes over to me, picks max up, gives him some smooches then scoops me up and kisses me so passionately that I needed Chapstick immediately after. Then she shows me she brought take-out and that she'd handle the kids for the night. Hot
damn. Now we kiss all the time but, it's normally just quick little pecks. So when she kissed me, omg. And she's going to take on all the kids? Hell yes!

So, I say this to you guys as Im currently lounging in a bubble bath munching on a salad. A piece of lettuce just fell in the tub but guess what? Fuck it. Imma eat it anyway. Cuz I'm so damn happy.

I think I'm in love with your wife. So awesome. Enjoy every second!

A bunch of you are nicer than me. I'm reaching that point where I just can't say supportive or commiserating things to the drive by posters. Especially when it's the third or fourth "I'm so over being pregnant" or "tell me about this type of delivery" thread in 1 week.

This exactly. I've been waiting for someone to step in and be snarky. I want to but I can never tell if it's justified or if I'm just feeling extra bitchy.

This is me too - for instance, I could have been the first one to comment on thAt weird thread from J13, but I wasn't sure if she was just being nice, or if it was just as weird as I thought it was.

My Kuerig is my favorite of all the wedding presents we got.

I love that thing so damn much. I cannot rave about it enough. Seriously.

I can only imagine how much more i will love it when i am sleep deprived from a newborn and it handles all the guesswork of coffee. I should probably just build it a shrine at this point....lol

mrscurlygurl · July 2014

Cue first ugly cry post-birth: all through this pregnancy I was of the mind that I wasn't worried about how I was changing DS's life so much by having another baby. I mean, he's two...he won't remember the time when he had mommy all to himself AND it's not like DD will ever have that time he got so why feel guilty? But I have completely lost it today feeling guilty that I don't have time for him right now. I haven't put him to bed since last Tuesday, I couldn't scoop him up and kiss his owie today because I was nursing DD, etc. I know it's temporary, and I know I'm stressed because baby girl has been on the boob almost hourly since mid-night last night...but damn. I was not prepared to feel like this. It's breaking my heart.

jensavicci · July 2014

@mrscurlygurl‌

I know how you're feeling, girl

I don't have my special time with my oldest son and DD like I used to and I think they're becoming jealous (DD even more so) of Max because of it. It should get easier, I hope, once your DD isn't as dependent on you. But, I want you to know that you're not alone >:D< hugs!

This is the way I felt when stranger said she gets no sex from the DH. Then everyone was nice and I felt sort of bad.

My karma was a jury summons for August 12. That's what I get for being a snarky ho.

@mrscurlygurl‌ Hugs! I've had a few moments with DS like that too. I actually put DD down before she was really done nursing to give him some extra loving the other day that I'm sure did me more good than him.

Thanks for the supportive words ladies! I know it will just take some time (and less sleep deprivation...).

marsalisails · July 2014

i just blocked an hour and a half on my work calendar tomorrow morning so that i can get my nails done and run some errands for DS

@mrscurlygurl BIG HUGS to you. this is exactly how i'm going to be when i'm holding/nursing the baby, and my MOTHER is the one that gets to kiss DS's boo boos you'll get there - this is all just new right now.

Probably TMI, but is there really such a thing anymore? I was just peeing for the thousandth time today and I was all done getting ready to wipe when I felt something like a pop in my vag and a quick, short gush of fluid. I'd love to think it was my water breaking, but I'm fairly certain he just nailed me in the bladder and got a bit more urine out because I changed my pantyliner after that and it's perfectly fine after an hour. Dammit kid, don't get Mom's hopes up like that if you're not gonna follow through.

This totally happened to me yesterday, I spent a good few minutes shoving my hand in my vag to determine if I was still leaking and then attempting to smell it (just pee).. it also trickled on the floor. Not my finest moment.

Crumbs bake shop is closing all of their stores

and i've only had one cupcake from there this whole pregnancy!

Lhalliburton · July 2014

This morning I was wondering what was with all you overly nice ladies. The rando July '13 drive by post made my evening. Thanks for bringing the snark back.

I also got a jury summons. I get at least 1 a year. I just filled out the paper questioner and checked the exemption box for having to care for a child under 12. THEN I get a letter in the mail on Saturday from the court house saying that all jurors will have to take public transportation due to parking lot construction. Soooo glad I have a legit reason not to go.

Quite the pair we make :-D (just to AW for a mo')

Trailer park boys is netflix gold!

Felt that way after watching "Party Down South" one time. People seriously speak like that?

I just got a jury summons too. You can be exempt for having to care for a child under 12? That's good news. I have been freaking out about how the hell I'm going to be able to go to jury duty when my baby boy will only be around 2 weeks at the time (if I deliver on or before my due date and not after.)

jnnfrrose6 · July 2014

Ugh. I'm letting things a few internet strangers are saying get to me. It's got to be my hormones still being wacky because normally this wouldn't bug me so much, but it feels like they are implying I'm a bad mother and don't know what's right or best for my family and it's pissing me off. I'm trying to just let it be/walk away from it, but it's bugging me more than it should and I'm finding it hard not to say something back.

Ok, vent over. Looks like I'll be sticking to our BMB for awhile to keep me out of trouble.

I went to Tim Horton's this morning to work using their Wifi (ours is out)

I got stared at heavily by a one-eyed woman.

I'm taking this as a sign that I'm going to go into labor, because, the one-eyed woman is clearly a fortune teller.

Freaking back pain

( What the crap is up with feeling like the space between my lower back & ribs is trying to break in half?! I have things I need to do around the house but standing for more than a few minutes makes me feel like I'm about to die.

I feel you! I just did a sink full of dishes and felt like I might die.

Damn it, we have no Tim Horton's. I can't go and get stared at by a one-eyed fortune teller to jump start labor.

TimHo's is fantastic, I don't understand how I didn't go there all this time. I mean, if you don't have one-eyed women staring at you it's really not the same but a good Boston Creme Donut could make up for it.

Ever see "Drag me to Hell"?

I have not. And it doesn't sound like a happy diddy either

Last night I went upstairs to hang laundry. I hung about 25% of it, got winded and laid down among the laundry pile. Mister started laughing and said the cats learned it from watching me.

I absolutely LOATHE doing the dishes right now for this very reason. You have to hunch over a certain way to reach the sink around the giant belly. SO uncomfortable.

Yup. I stand on my toes so I can set my belly on the counter.

I just found out our favorite taco stand inside our local farmer's market is closing due to health issues of the owners. I don't think I've ever grieved for a food before. Making tacos at home won't even be the same any more because we always bought their house blend taco seasoning and homemade tortillas. I may just ugly cry over tacos.

Taco tears! I had those during 1st tri!
