I am applying for jobs. For a country famed for giving jobs to foreigners (according to the news, that is) the forms I have to fill in are not very accommodating of all my foreign-ness.
So far haven't been able to give the addresses of previous jobs or most of my qualifications.
Grrargh.
I'm only applying to make coffee, why is it so hard?!
I have brownies in the oven right now they were the type with chocolate chips in it , I also added white chocolate chips, I hope it's yummy. If not at least I had fun making brownies with my daughter
And she came back with hellish cramps. It feels like satan is tap dancing in my uterus.
Time to go find a corner to ball up and cry in.
I feel flo coming back too. She should return any time now.
Well now I want ice cream lol
You eat other foods besides ice cream when auntie flo comes!? Lol
Lol erm, YES! Brownies, cheesecake, cheesecake brownies, Nutella, all the pillsbury things, more brownies and more cheese cake. Omg and cherry pie filling right out of the can...
Oooh I might have found the perfect solution for daycare for my dd. I have friends that have twins that are a little older than dd and their mom is a sahm and would be the perfect care taker. I sure hope they say yes!
I got my iud a week ago. You ladies talking about birth control reminded me. I did mini pill after dd and could never remember to take it on time so this time Iud. Since I got it having an orgasm hurts a little. Have any of you who have had Iud experienced that? DH thinks my body just needs to get used to it. But I hate it, I could call my midwife but feel dumb if it is part of adjusting
My step dad gave my Number out to someone to share her dave Ramsey testimony with me....it really embarrassed and offended me. I had no idea she was calling. It was an extremely uncomfortable conversation.
Had a playdate with 2 other moms and their kids who live in our neighborhood. It was fun, except DS1 wanted to play by himself the whole time… It was nice to have other working moms to talk to!

You pick up numbers you don't know? Ohhh you live dangerously
I must admit, reading all these posts complaining about your DHs makes me feel better about having no one around.
Don't get me wrong I feel bad you ladies are dealing with all that, but it's so nice not having that stress on top of new baby stress.. :-??
Mine was just a vent - my DH is awesome - but sometimes he can be a turd, especially when he thinks the weekends are for relaxation. I calmly reminded him that he's not going to relax much for the next 18 years.
Oh i know most of them are, i didnt mean it in a bitchy way, more for myself lol :P
Ok ladies here's a fun one for you. DD is 3 months old today so it got me thinking that it was probably right about this time last year that we were trying to get pregnant. I was charting, so I went ahead and looked that sucker up. Sure enough, this time last year I was right in the middle of my two week wait. What a difference a year can make!
When were you due? That seem soooo early because my TWW wasn't until the end of October. (Got my BFP in November)
July 3 and she came 2 weeks early.
I think you're a month off. I was due July 1, and my 2WW was mid October.
You're right! Sorry about that ladies. I was looking at the chart on my phone and I saw "September" at the top, so assumed it was my chart for last September. Just checked on the computer and it started September 26 and went into October. Didn't see that on the mobile version. Another reason I hate using my phone for things like that. Important info get cut off on those smaller screens! Can't wait to get my ipad back.

I might need more coffee.. But what do you mean? Was it his way of saying something?
Today is my last day of maternity leave and I'm spending it trying to get into someone at my dr's office because I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection. I have to call back in two hours because my dr just happens to be out today so they won't know until then if I can get in to see the Nurse practitioner. This is fantastic. I'm really praying I don't have to end up going to urgent care and waiting in line for who knows how long. I want to spend time with my baby!

I think she means that it embarrassed her and made her uncomfortable that her step dad gave out her personal number to someone she did not wish to talk to. This person called her out of the blue and it was uncomfortable causing her to be offended.. Just like she said.
@Nichole8787
That would annoy that shit out of me and would offend me as well! I'm sorry he did that!
@browneyedtornado I don't think he meant it as anything but helpful. It was just strange to receive a call from someone you've never even heard of to talk to you about your finances and marriage. I think he was just trying to get me in touch with someone around my age that is now debt free but I'm really private when it comes to those issues. I don't have any debt but student debt so that's not the problem I just don't think it's appropriate to discuss finances so freely with someone you don't know.

I got a horrible illness my last week of maternity leave. Today marks the beginning of week 5 with this fucking upper respiratory bullshit cough bronchitis with a bacterial infection (right after having thrush). FUCK YOU, SICKNESS! I'm still bitter. This couldn't have come at a worse time.
I wonder if nursing weakens your immune system?

@ghostof5letters Lord, I hope not! I don't want to think about cold/flu season if that's the case! I assumed mine is weak because of the lack of sleep. DD didn't want to sleep at all last week, so I hardly got any. The last 3 nights I've done really well, but I started feeling back right before then, so I think it was too late for my immune system.

I got a pedicure on Saturday. I broke my toenail funky on the big toe, and they superglued a fake nail onto the big toe. You can't tell, but I am obsessing about it.
I can't stand feet or having anyone near my feet. The thought of someone touching mine makes me shudder. I dislike summer because everyone has their feet out.

What?! I hate feet too, but I'm all for someone rubbing my feet, painting my toes and plopping my butt in that massage chair for 30 minutes.

@ghostof5letters-i have been sick for a week now with a cold. Did you feel like your supply was different while you were sick? I feel like mine has decreased a little bit....
At first, yes, it was all out of whack. It came back to normal though after a week or so.

I understand now. My confusion had more to do with my lack of energy. I was thinking he was all "call my daughter she needs help" either way that's really uncomfortable. I would not be pleased about that either.
Is it FTM overkill to take a whole day off work when DS gets his 2 month shots? I could only get an 8am appointment and I wonder if he will be really cranky and needy at daycare...
I mainly stay at home, but once a week have to go out for work. DS's 2 month visit was set for a day I had to go out. I had someone cover for me so I could stay home with him. He was a bit fussy but basically slept all day after his appt. I found he was actually fussier after 6pm and into the night. He woke up 3 times that night. So I probably could've gone to work and he would've been fine, but I did enjoy the extra snuggling!

My dd was fine at first and then 4-5 hours later all hell broke loose and she screamed and couldn't be comforted until the Tylenol kicked in
Um, I'm just sitting over here getting excited for when it will be socially acceptable to wear boots in Phoenix. It's so tempting but it's still over 100 degrees. So jealous. In other news, I have to go to a baby shower for another teacher at my school. Holy balls, I just finished looking at her registry, and I am exhausted. You could definitely tell she is a ftm, because as I'm scrolling I kept track of all the things I never used that she registered for. I feel kinda mean.

I'm a ftm and probably did this some but I know not much. I have a friend who is pregnant and keeps asking me if she needs all this total Crap. I tell her no she argues and/or says well it couldn't hurt....that's fine just get it but don't ask me my opinion. If you need 3 damn different types of swings go for it. It's your clutter but don't expect me to affirm that they are all necessary.
So I'm sitting at the office for my first pump session on my first day back. I'm trying to not keep looking down at the bottles being paranoid that I'm pumping enough! I'm sure that stress doesn't help my output at all. And then to think I have to do this two more times today. Ugh.
Alexander is teething Also... My best friend gave birth to a 8.1lb 22in baby boy, at home, last night after 28hrs of labor. They named him "xyz" the fifth. Yep..the FIFTH. Im super happy for her, but jealous at the same time. I would happily trade 8hrs of labor at 29 weeks for 28hrs at 41 weeks. It makes me ragey when I hear things like "you were so lucky to have a short labor" or "he was so small i bet it didnt even hurt to push him out".
