Re: thusday spamity spam
@ChickenOnSunday, I'm glad the f/u u/s went well. Hopefully your LO was just pissed at another intrusion causing clenched hands.
To everyone involved in that DD, thank you. I needed a laugh this morning and you guys had me rolling.
Side thought: I work with the biggest bunch of cheap asses on the planet. My coworker and I are trying to organize a retirement party and the 50 employees in our division donated $15 to the party. Our division director and assistant donated zero. But if we didn't have cake at the party there would be hell to pay and they will complain if we don't have the pop they like. So now the two of us have to cover the difference. One word and I'm going to be a bitch.
Waited a long time, tried a lot of stuff, science made me a mom.
Random time now that I'm completely caught up here. DS was up playing in his room at 5:30, I ignored him and he went back to sleep until 8:30 and then just brought him to my room to cuddle while watching cartoons. Both of us get so lethargic and restless after the flu shot. We finally got up and were just enjoying stirring around when MIL called. She told me that she was making blankets for all the grand kids for Christmas and just picked up the stuff for this one's then asked to talk with DH. She let him know that she's probably getting open heart surgery and had a mild heart attack. DH hadn't spoken to me all morning except to inform me that I was making him fast and this is why he needs to exercise and eat healthy. When I said that I understand he told me I didn't and then talked of before finishing this sentenced "my mom needs open heart surgery, she could d...". I'm ata loss for how to help him. My pregnancy attitude almost told him that his inability to communicate his emotions and relieve himself of emotional stress would cause a heart attack long before his weight and diet. I offered for us to go down to see her before her surgery but he refused. I don't know how else to help him. At least we have a healthy, strong baby girl.
Eta: added the TL:DR since you don't all have time to read a chapter.
I know he wasn't talking out of fear or anger when he blamed me for making him fast. It's been an issue for us for a long time. We have 2 very different body types so I need high fay, high protein meals to keep weight on but he can gain weight eating salads. After DS was born we switched to no soda and a vegetarian salad once a week for dinner. I lost 35 lbs and had to tell him that I couldn't keep that up or I would fall into the underweight category. As of now we found a compromise where he won't gain and I won't lose but he still has self esteem issues from it. It's one of those things that's hard to escape because his brother's are the same way even though both of them moderate their diets and eat way better than us. There's just no easy way to tell your husband that maybe what he eats isn't the problem and he should be more worried about how much he eats.
Sorry for the book.
@sugahcookie01 - Good luck at your A/S today! Hope all goes well. Congrats on picking a name. That is so sweet.
Just wanted to pop in quick and say hi to everyone. I've been manning our booth at career fairs all week and haven't been around much. I've also been having extreme anxiety about our A/S on Monday. I'm scared we'll find out this baby has a defect like our first daughter. DH is so positive and optimistic, so that's helping a little.
@flowerpower16 I could understand that being nerve racking. T's and p's for a good scan!
@jennhillhoite Sorry about being totally wrong about YH blaming you for his weight. It would be hard to deal with that when it's not anything you can control yourself. Maybe there's a way to get his doctor or other health care provider to tell him about portion control? So it's not coming from you? My mom is the same way. She eats way too much and waits too long to eat, so even though she eats healthy foods, it's too much at the wrong time.
That's horrible about him having to witness his friend dying, especially at such a young age. I can see why he would have trouble with worrying about his mom having such major surgery and talking to anyone about it. But as you said he's been through this with his biological father, so I can't really think of any more suggestions on how to help him through it except to support him (i.e. emotionally) however he lets you. Sorry it's putting stress on you, too.
ETA tagging fail
Hope he can focus on positive stuff, like your healthy baby girl, and maybe on the issues he's having with his body image. Will the surgery be soon?
Supermegatotallycompletelyjelly right now!!!! /drooool
Love that idea! Hope it helps him focus on LO. Prayers to your MIL!
I ordered the Bella Band from them early in my pregnancy and I only paid for shipping. $15.00 for two bella bands and the quality is great. I wear them every day. I get emails for these discounts. I used code FAMILY2014. It seems to be the same coupon code for each product? Not sure, but I know for sure it was for the Bella Band and the car seat canopy. Can't hurt to try! But the shipping was quick and there wasn't any "catches".
