I have not yet found a way to get DS and I up and ready in the morning without my coffee getting cold at least twice. You'd think I could just make it after everything else is done, but no, I really can't. Can a girl get an IV drip?
Trivial, but there are only so many times I can bitch about my nipples being sore as fuck.

Gage Douglas 09.04.2014...my sunshine after the rain.
My back hurts, my hips hurt, my crotch hurts. I don't feel good, yet I have to put on a face for the clients. Oh Joy!!! I can't wait to get home to my ice cream and sweat pants. I just don't have the energy for this bullshit.
If one more person at work asks me how long I have, or touches my belly w/o asking, I'm going to strangle them. I have exactly one week people, no more, no less. I'm only here tolerating this shit b/c my family needs the money. Otherwise, I would be home in my bed, with my ice cream, popcorn, juice, and sweatpants, watching Paw Patrol with my four year old.
It grosses me out when mil says she would nurse my son when he starts rooting but it would be a dry run so she would just have to paci him. I know she's joking she also said it when I had DD, but eww I don't want your titti in my baby's mouth.
I had a nice relaxing weekend with DS at his grandma's and just DH, DD, and me at home. Sleep isn't usually an issue, once DS goes down he is down for the night and I can focus on DD, but during the day there is NO REST with these two kids, so it was nice having just one kiddo to look after.
I got DS back yesterday and he was a giant grump all evening, went down at 7pm and woke up Every.Single.Hour. until 11pm, woke up at 4am, and up for the day at 7am. Add into that DD cluster feeding from 10pm-12am and waking every 2-3 hours after that. DH and I are exhausted and want to do nothing but lay around the house.
Took the morning off, waiting for the refrigerator repair guy. First he was supposed to be here very first thing, between 8 and 9. Correction - originally he was supposed to be here 8-9am on Friday, but his van broke down. Anyway apparently the van is still broken so he was trying to get ahold of his part-time assistant but something something and now he's supposed to be here between 11:30 and 12:30. Or 1pm. I don't fucking know, I'm waiting for another update from DH. I can't even get any nesting stuff done because I don't have the supplies I need. How far can a bottle of Elmer's glue really have gotten??
I'm pretty sure that I lost my mucus plug this morning, and I'm having semi-regular contractions... Enough to be timeable, but nowhere near regular enough for me to justify leaving work. But, seriously, I want to be home on the couch in sweatpants eating ice cream instead.
Also, I got a ticket on the way into work this morning. There's an intersection between two main streets and there's a flashing red for the turn lane. Since it was clear, I went through the intersection - no big deal. Not a half block later, I was pulled over for not coming to a complete enough stop first before turning. First, I hate stuff like that since he was clearly waiting for someone to do exactly what I did. Second, he wrote the ticket to someone else completely (like a random stranger's name) -- The person is 23 years older, 5 inches shorter, with gray hair and blue eyes (vs. my brown hair and eyes). Part of me thinks that I should fight it (if you can't tell that I have brown hair, can you trust his observation skills?), and part of me is tempted to just pay it since I'm two weeks from my due date.
It grosses me out when mil says she would nurse my son when he starts rooting but it would be a dry run so she would just have to paci him. I know she's joking she also said it when I had DD, but eww I don't want your titti in my baby's mouth.
Eww. I can see why you are grossed out. That is weird.
Started having contractions last night. Went for a walk around the block at midnight and they didn't go away. Thought for sure this was it... Nope they fizzled out. Walked again, nothing. Went to bed around 2.
I have walked a mile already this morning with nothing to show but 1 contraction and pretty steady cramping. H called off work last night and I'd really like something to happen before he goes back in tonight (1 am). At least his run tonight is 2 hours away and not 4 like it was last night.

I heard a finger works just as well... In case she didn't know.

Why would you pay it? I know that you were the one who was stopped, but think about it.... it's not your name, and that doesn't even describe you. I would fight it b/c that shit can be dismissed. Come to think of it, that may be why he wrote it that way... to give you a break.
I'm feeling very sad today because DH and I will be moving unexpectedly before the end of the year...probably. He just got offered a command position (YAY!!) near one of the top rated bases in the AF (Double YAY!!) and we already have a bunch of friends out there with a possible drilling opportunity for me with the Army (Triple YAY!!). So what's the problem? They want him in the seat in just a few weeks and I'm sad about having to leave all the friends I've made here. There's no way that their desired timeline will happen, it's just not possible to cut orders and arrange a PCS in six weeks when he hasn't even signed any paperwork yet, but I was just hoping to have a little more time here with friends and my parents were going to come and spend a white Christmas with us, and it's going to be much harder for the ILs to spend time with their grandbaby since they don't travel...just so many plans that have to change. I get that it's the nature of the beast and it's what we signed on for, but that doesn't mean I can't be sad about it. Having a little cry over it right now.
And @SingleMom31, you should totally fight that shit. One cop's boredom and laziness should not come out of your pocket.

And try to go in while you're still pregnant. That will push the dismissal even further in your favor. That's what happened to me and my ticket.
Today Walmart cannot find my ship to store order which I need for next Sunday, publix lost my sons bday cake order I placed a couple days ago and the lil diva has been crying non stop this morning. I'm over today.

Or a paci! It's almost every time she holds him and gets hungry. I mean does it really have to be said?!??

My MIL said this too with my son, and I just shot this look at her like that was the grossest/stupidest thing that she could have ever said. I couldn't help it. It took me completely by surprise and she said it right in front of my mom. LOL She never has said that again.
I found the glue... On the kitchen floor. Ugh my house is such a fucking mess & I can't be bothered to do anything about it. Just so much random crap everywhere.
Every time I say as much as ow or make a face, DH asks me if I'm having a contraction. No! I will let you know when I go into labor, thank you very much. What's with all the pressure? He and my mom keep making jokes about when would be a good time for THEM to have this baby, and all I can think is "Sure, I'll get right on that." Because I have so much control over these matters.
Ugh.
@singlemom31 fight it. I got out of a ticket once because I had New York plates and the cop wrote the license plate number for the state of Pennsylvania.
Today is my due date. If I get one more text or call asking if I have had the baby yet I am going to scream. No one wants the baby to come more than me. We will let you all know.
I get allergy shots every week. I have the same sweet nurse and the last two weeks I have noticed that she wasn't her self so today I asked her if she was ok. She told me about her break up with her boyfriend and then she got yelled at by another nurse for talking about her personal life to me. I felt bad. As if she wasn't having enough of a hard time.
It's cold, rainy, and I am just in a bitchy mood. I just feel strange. Maybe I should be doing some squats to try and go into labor on my due date tomorrow. Screw squats, I think twerking would be more efficient. To bad I have no energy or motivation. Another bitch: why would people want to be part of a Facebook group if they have never posted on here before? I don't get it? I'm a prehistoric loser and don't even have Facebook. Myspace was my jam
Over the weekend the lab told me my 24 hr urine was "fine." I woke up to a bright and early sunshine phone call of "Uhh, we don't like anything over 300 and your numbers are over 400, we want you for a non-stress test NOW." My butt waddles to the hospital, does the test, and watches as they fuss over elevated blood pressure but my blood work coming back completely normal. I got discharged on strict bed rest with orders to start ANOTHER 24 hr urine tomorrow morning, so I can bring it it Wednesday morning. After I drop it off at admitting I am suppose to report in for another non-stress test.. then I'll have my 38 week check up. My favorite part of the morning was the part where they told me "If your numbers looked any worse we'd just induce you, but because you're only 38 +1 we can't.." Yeah.. this is how I wanted to start my week. Totally.
OH and they told me to avoid anything that stresses me out or might raise my blood pressure and my grandparents are suppose to coming here Wednesday to bring me a recliner for the nursery.. I'm thinking I should just tell them not to come.. because my grandmother just existing makes my blood boil she is so obnoxious right now. </rant>
Just left my dr appointment and am scheduled for induction starting Thursday night. Freaking out because I really wanted to have a med free birth, but doesn't look like that will happen, plus knowing that I have 3 days left is terrifying. I almost wish they would have just done it tonight so I wouldn't have time to stress about it!! Maybe this little man will decide to come out in his own and save me some sanity!
The baby is a gem, so sweet and cuddly and precious. Especially in comparison to my tantruming big girls. The big one is either screaming or mumbling so quietly I cannot hear her, the little one is pitching fits over everything. I was just having lunch and realized it was too quiet - oh that's because they were dousing our playroom in water trying to "clean" it. I appreciate the sentiment chicks but... No.
Just left my OBs office, she has no idea why he's hanging out in there. Ugh. So miserable. If this kid doesn't hurry up, he may literally fall out because I keep on dilating and he keeps moving down. Next week I got an early appt so that if it's not been a crazy weekend I get to just hop on over to the hospital and this boy is going to be on his way out.
In the meantime, I'll just hang out here with the cramping and contractions and oh yes, now the spitting from being checked (which has only ever happened when they broke my water during labor) and the pain in the vag because there is a tiny human trying to escape from my body. Oh and then my car started overheating on the way home. Wtf? I drove 2 minutes and it was back in the normal range of the dial. What else can happen today?!? It's only 1pm. Should be fun. Ok. End crazy hormonal bitch session.
I can barely drive anymore. I can barely get off the couch. I had a two hour appointment today in which the baby measured huge at the ultrasound (9 lbs 12 oz) but my midwife estimates more like 8.5 -9 lbs. I'm 2 cm dilated but my cervix is still quite high. I had a membrane sweep and nearly crawled off the table. Scheduled an induction for the end of the week even though I desperately wanted to avoid one, but even my midwife won't let me go past 42 weeks.
My kid is still sick and puked all over the carpet at naptime when he was throwing a fit and gagged on his own snot. There is really nothing worse than cleaning up puke off the floor at 41 weeks pregnant.

i remember reading on another website a story about how a gal walked in on her sister breastfeeding her kid. didn't ask, didn't yell down the hall to fetch her sis (who was temporarily busy) just stuck it in there. needless to say the poster was LIVID and is never letting her sister watch over het child again

I've got another. Why did my work randomly switch the time I have to arrive from 2:30 to 2 pm instead WITHOUT BOTHERING TO GIVE MORE THAN A 1 HOUR HEADS UP??? ugh

I would be beyond livid. There would be no words to describe how pissed I would be! Who the fuck does she think she is, you don't just do that to someone else's baby.
My SO was amazing with helping after I had baby girl. I was taking care of her and he was helping with DD1 (2.5) and the house. He stopped helping at about 1 week postpartum. Douche.
@Monicavickery I'll talk The OC with you! I love Seth and Summer! Actually when I saw the ad for the new show Gotham I got excited and told my husband I loved Ryan Atwood (because I can't remember the actor's real name).
Right there with you. I'm producing way more than DD can eat right now and hot damn do my boobs hurt. I'm also walking around looking like I had a boob job with implants two sizes too big for my frame.
