  • I think Savannah Guthrie looked AWFUL in the pictures they just showed on the Today show.  She is usually so made up I barely recognized her.  Not that I'll look any better the morning after, but I was like DAY-UM.

  • I hate fall. No amount of pumpkin spice lattes, football, crisp jacket weather, or pretty leaves can get me to look past the fact that winter is around the corner. Summer forever!
  • I am not ready for anything. And I could be freaking about it but I'm not. We need to replace lots of baby stuff and still haven't. DD starts kindergarten sept 2nd and I am no where ready for that. Although we still haven't had orientation for it so I don't know what she needs but regardless. And I'm so large and uncomfortable that I don't WANT to do anything. Also apparently I am going to be told today that I have till sept 1st to get my stuff out of my mom's house so they can sell it to the bank. I'm too damned pregnant for all if this. Eff it all. I'm going back to bed.

    Sept Siggy Fun: Fairy Tales

  • After a day of back pain and cramps/contractions I reached my breaking point last night. I told DH to watch the kids while I go drown myself in the shower. I turned on the shower sat in the tub and sobbed. I know baby needs to stay in and bake longer and I'm ok with that, it's all my other adult/parent responsibilities I'm done with! I don't want to cook, clean, work, chase my kids around. I just want to be lazy and lay around for the next 4ish weeks! I know this is totally unrealistic and I'm just being a big baby and I'm also lucky DH is a big help when he's not at work but I'm just loosing it!

    If I make it through DD's birthday sleepover tonight I may lock myself in my room for the rest of the weekend!

    I'm right there with you!! I'm over going to work and watching my niece on my days off. I just want to be left alone so I can finish the few things I have left to do and just plop my ass on the couch till LO comes.

    DH has things planned for us every weekend till LO comes and I'm secretly praying some of these weekends get rained out so we don't have to go anywhere.

  • Fffc: I'm turning into a freaking hypochondriac. Even though I'm the biggest "trust/ask your doctor" person here, I really want to ask every little UTI related question until I get the test results because of Dr Google. Of course I'm not doing that shit. But I've now convinced myself it's a bad kidney infection and I'm likely going to have a mental breakdown. I'm laughing at myself like an insane person.

  • My mom has been here since Tuesday night watching DS as he was sick and couldn't go to daycare.  My MIL is coming on Sunday and staying the week as the center is closed for its annual cleaning/remodeling week. 

    While I am immensely grateful for both of them being willing and able to come help us out I am already struggling with the lack of 'us' time right now. 

    DH is being obtuse and invited his mom to stay thru Sunday to 'hang out'...  WITHOUT running it past me first AND saying we will 'just change our plans' to make it work even though we already had plans with both friends and some of my family...

    I confess that if this doesn't change I have ZERO intention of being around this weekend.  DS and I will be off doing our own thing and I don't care how it looks or if he or they are bothered by it.

    I understand this completely so no flames here. I will admit I have been selfishly keeping my dd around lately just because I know we are in for such a huge change and it will no longer be just her and I.
    I would be pretty peeved at my DH if he invited his mom to just hang out without at least consulting me. I think it would be a little more of an issue especially knowing once your new LO is here I am sure your mom and MIL will be back. Good luck!

    Breathe!

    I'd say punch Dr. Google in the face, but then your hand would hurt from punching your computer and that would be another thing to worry about. :P

    Hang in there!
  • FFFC: I'M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

    Not only will I actually be able to indulge in a few cocktails this year, but the fooooood.... I'm already drooling.

    Not flame worthy at all! We are doing a live fantasy draft on Sunday and serving all the yummy football food! I can't wait! (Until I try to sleep and the tasty food turns into fire)

  • I feel like some days when I get on the bump it is a game of bullshit. Put the bingo cards away it is time for a good old fashioned card game.
    There are some post I can't even comment on because I would probably just write bullshit.

    normally, I toss and turn b/c of hip pain, etc, but last night was the first time this pregnancy I've woken up twice specifically to pee...so it begins...

    FFFC: I very rarely wake up needing to pee, even now. But if I do I don't always get up. Most of the time I just roll over, fall back to sleep, and bathrooms are featured in my dreams the rest of the night.

    Um jealous! I have been doing this for weeks!


    Jealous here to, even before pregnancy I woke up twice at least to pee, now it is at least 4 times.

     

    My FFFC - I have felt terrible since it happened.  I went another route home last night.  It is a route with a lot of panhandlers.  this was the first time there was a pregnant woman panhandling. I wanted to give her money but then I was thinking what if she used it for drugs.  She had nothing with her so the drug signs were there.  I wanted to help but felt if I gave her money it would ultimately be used for drugs.  I couldn't do it. And I can't stop thinking about it.

    FFFC: We only sign up for cable from Aug/Sept until Jan/Feb specifically just so we can watch football. We get the super low economy pack with special discounts and then cut that shit off in Feb and its back to Netflix. I have missed my Friends re-runs dearly though...
    I'm doing this.  GAME ON.
                                                                                      
  • FFFC: I have a very limited understanding of football - which is only embarrassing because of the amount of time I have spent watching it and trying to understand it. I definitely enjoy it, I just don't completely "get it" past the obvious.

  • more of a gripe, but my toddler has a cold and was up every half hour all night long because he's so stuffed up. He just wanted to be held. All I can think about is how this is going to be my life EVERY NIGHT again very shortly and I just don't know how I'm going to do it again. SO TIREDDDDD..... I guess the flame worthy part is that I'm not a huge fan of the infant stage, it's just so brutal.

  • I thought i could squeeze into my only pair of maternity jeans today for casual Friday. Oh no. No no. Holy chafage. I'm going to Target at lunch to buy something my ass and thighs fit into. Thinking of leaving early to do it... Ouch!!!
  • I just thought of another one. I always wear my best/cutest underwear to my doctor appointments. Thinking of it now, what is he point? The doctor never sees them because the nurse is the one that says get naked from the waist down. Idk, maybe it just makes me feel better about myself. Or maybe I'm afraid of being judged by the doctor if they do see my underwear? I'm sure they would have LOTS more stuff to judge on than how cute my underwear are.

    FFFC2: just had my first 'internal' and now I'm terrified. Not because anything was wrong, but because my vag hasn't seen that much action in such a long time that even the qtip fucking hurt. I can't even think of a baby coming out of there! Le sigh.

    I just had my swab today and it really hurt. I'm screwed. Going to start the perineal (sp?) massage tonight!

    Awww, I thought she looked adorable and glowy.  Her freckles are so cute.  I agree that without all that makeup she's almost unrecognizable.

  • I'm going to smack three next person who says I look like I'm about to pop. I had a rando lady at work almost bump in to me and say, "I don't need to play mid wife, do I? My grandma was a midwife so it'll probably come natural to me." I just politely said "no, I still have five and a half more weeks." What I'm really thinking is, "shut up Bitch, before I smack you." I have never met this Lady in my life. She's part of one of the new training classes. Some people just don't know when to keep their mouths shut. Geez!

    Is that the thing your supposed to do with olive oil or something to, uh, stretch it out?
    Yep. KY Jelly works too...

  • Oldest dd comes in and asked if we can go get her friend a birthday gift before the party tomorrow, uh yeah, but I'm a little cranky and not wanting to be awake so I asked if we could talk about it at a time that wasn't right then because I'm in pain and don't feel the best. Dh looks over and says, " why are you in pain?" *insert blank faced staring complete with open mouth* then he followed up with, "ok, other than being pregnant why are you in pain?" Uh, I haven't slept in weeks and have constant hip and back pain, all of which you know, because I'm nearly 8 1/2 mos pregnant, do you not remember?!? I'm pretty sure you were there.... I thought this was totally hilarious due to his absolute seriousness about why I was in pain. /:)

    Not an fffc, but had to share.

    My swab and internal yesterday hurt as well.... the internal more so because I'm still so high and closed apparently. I've given birth before ladies, q-tips and such poking up at your uterus is just plain not comfortable. You can do this!


    I second this. It's not fun at all...I haven't given birth, but I had the face of my cervix cauterized and had both an SHG and HSG done. Someone playing with your cervix is not a good time.

  • I grazed breakfast over an entire hour and ate a BLT, 1 piece sourdough toast, 1 cup coffee with extra cream, 2graham crackers with PB. I don't think I've eaten that much in half a day because of heartburn/nausea in the last few weeks. I felt good for about 8 minutes and now I feel like a thanksgiving turkey. Dang-it thought this slow grazing was gonna work.
    The BLT was worth it though, thank you summer for garden tomatoes, and hubby for making it...I might like his extra mayo style now... Gross and delicious!

  • My confession
    braybee said:

    So I'm sure I will get flamed for this but that's the point right? I think that it's strange that people buy so many different types of bottles because they are worried that LO won't take a certain type. I never gave DS a choice and he did fine. Sure we had rough feedings and long nights, but we got through them. We didn't have money at the time to be spending on different types of bottle just because "he didn't like them", he knew that if he didn't use the bottle we gave him, he wouldn't satisfy his hunger.

    I won't flame you. I mostly got different types in case of has and reflux. If he likes the first kind we use, I'm returning the others and getting more of them. If he likes the second, same thing.

  • FFFC: as long as my baby is healthy and ready to come out, I don't care if he's here early. Of course I would be freaking out (36weeks ATM), but if he's healthy and wouldn't have to be in the NICU, who cares if he's a little early?

    This sucks. You want her to stop snuggling her new baby so she can get make up on and do her hair? Screw that. She's a real person who doesn't give a shit what she looks like the day after giving birth. Freaking good for her.

    Seriously! I didn't know who she was so I had to google, but I think she looks like a glowing, beautiful new mother with her baby. What a shitty thing to say about another woman.


    I'm not packing makeup for the hospital. I've been in the hospital many times and the last thing I think about is makeup... and just b/c someone is a celebrity doesn't mean they should have to either. I don't get the whole "I need my makeup/hair/nails done after birth for visitors." If someone will judge you after you've given life, they probably don't need to be in my circle of friends anyway. 


    I'm glad I'm not the only one who never thought of bringing/wearing makeup to the hospital. Because I'm having a c-section I had 2 nurses at separate times tell me to wear makeup and that while jewelry isn't allowed I can absolutely wear makeup. Huh?! I thought it was so bizarre how much emphasis they put on it.
