Friday Randomness

MuffinMom14 · October 2014

I can't keep up with the thread today, but my mom came, we had lunch, pedicures, and did other random errands, and I did not kill her or myself.

She asked what days she needs to come next week. I said "oh, I don't know, I have appointments almost every day..."

I'm going to just try to put all of that off.

"I’m Not A Doctor, But Sticking A Potato In Your Vagina For Contraception Seems Like A Horrible Idea"

I'm sitting in the parking lot of Boston market, but I'm not convinced that I really want their food.

LightBright515 · October 2014

I might just binge on 7-11 food and a slurpee...but vegetables.

2 more 12 hour shifts separate me from three months of freedom from a job I have grown to despise!!!!! Wahoooooooo

trisharenee0316 · October 2014

Today is my last day in the office and while I had a fairly productive early afternoon, I've now lost any fucks I once gave about finishing up. I need to buckle down because I'd love to just go home early.

After today, just two more work from home/wrap up the nonsense days left before I'm out of here until damn near the spring. Can.not.wait.

Also, I wore leggings again today.

I am kind of glad my doctor has not done a cervical check. Part of me is curious...but on the other hand I don't want it to give me false hope/sense of security! Plus I am pretty sure it will most certainly hurt me because even GBS test kind of hurt. I am going to be the worlds biggest baby during labor...

I just ate a piece of hard salami. Oops.

Is that bad? Or is the bad part that you only ate one piece and you should eat more? I'm confused.

LightBright515 · October 2014

I guess my OB has the touch. Cervical checks are no biggie...

Saragoeswest · October 2014

I've only gotten through the first two Harry Potter movies. I forgot how long these are!

I had my health visitor come for my antenatal appointment today. I hated her.
She spent 40 minutes lecturing me on breast vs bottle. Also told my DS she was going to take his pacifier this Christmas and in return he gets gifts.
How is this her decision to make?
She was going on about how he won't learn to speak because of it.
I will wean him off but not at a time when a new baby comes and I will be gone in labour. He may need that comfort.
Everything I do is wrong according to this woman.
I'm so glad this isn't a thing in the US. Though, I guess it could potentially help mothers at high risk for PPD, that is if it doesn't make them feel worse about themselves.
It made me feel really crappy. I think if anything it makes me paranoid about going to them if I do have PPD.
They do a check up 8 weeks after birth for signs of it, but that's it until a year. They completely miss out the teething and weaning months which I found more stressful than the early weeks.

Dude, fuck that lady. I'd be so upset. You are the mother, you make the decisions.

Finally all caught up.

Had a crazy day of errand running and then took DD to the pumpkin patch after we picked her up from preschool.

Scored on new underwear on clearance at Target, got 16 pairs for $9. Also picked up some nursing bras. Oh, and Tucks for my poor, battered vagina/butt post-birth.

golfingdarwinfish · October 2014

Very important question.

To shave my legs, or not to shave my legs? That is the question.

We are going to one of my favorite NYC restaurants this evening, and I don't really want to wear pants, but I don't really feel like shaving either.

Yes! rubber band vagina vibes to all!

Jesslynnsell · October 2014

@Saragoeswest‌ Now I want to have a Harry Potter marathon.

We are going to my favorite taqueria for dinner with some friends. We are supposed to hang out at our house after and I am afraid they are going to want to just bail. I am irrationally upset about it and I don't even know yet. These hormones have GOT to quit!

onelilroo · October 2014

@alfibet‌ woohoo!! Glad they finally admitted you!

LightBright515 · October 2014

Watching Apocalypto hoping my obnoxious discharge turns into my water breaking. Kinda...

I can go into labor Sunday....my OB is on call Monday. Plus SO will be back from school...

Saragoeswest · October 2014

We are headed to the fair because funnel cake.

@golfingdarwinfish shave! What if labour is imminent?! ;-)

I think labor becomes imminent if you shave. It's like the highest level of nesting possible: nesting your own body.

victoria+james · October 2014

Bought pumpkin spice oreos today - even more delicious than I was expecting!

[Deleted User] · October 2014

@alfibet‌ good luck!!

LightBright515 · October 2014

Stink bugs have found their way in the house. I may or may not have unleashed a whole can of bug spray not even designed to kill flying insects.. RAID kills all..

LightBright515 · October 2014

Lmao @ myself. This much bug spray was beyond uncalled for. Shiny spot on the wall is cascading down..

CubanPinky · October 2014

I've literally laid here in bed eating a whole box of frosted mini wheats and orange drink…watching all the transformers movies lol

AppleGrapeMSTK · October 2014

My car died. I just filled the gas today and we got the breaks fixed two weeks ago. DH's car can't fit us all, and now I have to spend maternity leave stuck in the house when I had so many places I wanted to take my sister.

Fuuuuuuuuuuu-

cmac6186 · October 2014

Just spent I don't know how long trying on at least 20 different bras of different brands and sizes. Ended up with 2 Hanes comfort fit that aren't nursing but do have snap off straps. The lady at motherhood maternity was useless in helping and told me I'm a 40E. While impressive, definitely not correct. Ugh can I go braless after birth until I go back to work?? Is this unrealistic?

LightBright515 · October 2014

Ciara just posted some postpartum pics after having a 9+ pound baby and gaining 60lbs while pregnant.

@-)

ETA she's my postpartum motivation.

caranichole · October 2014

zoo back labor girl is back with a bloody show, eh? Comes in with a question and never participates... I feel used and abused.

Only if your shaving your vajay, that would be a damn miracle right now and extreme dedication. It would be like the olympics of shaving.

I had a good FFFC today!

I have shaved my legs every 2 days for the past several years. I haven't stopped since getting pregnant. And I don't really think it's that much harder than it used to be!

Me too, no problem shaving my legs right now. I feel a little bad going in for my cervical checks right now. I feel
Like a beast

I feel crazy...in that I am in less pain/discomfort 24 hours after a c section than I recall after my vaginal birth last time...I'm worried it is a "honeymoon period" and will get way worse, but nurse seems impressed.
Doctor was excited when I told him I started farting at 6am.
No more cath or IVs. Just a very uncertain big sister and a sweet thing sleeping on my chest.

Is it weird that I want to congratulate you on your 6am farts?!

Glad you're feeling pretty good right now!

pnwlover12 · October 2014

Got bags packed for the birth center finally and ordered all the remaining items we needed for baby on Amazon. After Costco tomorrow, we are good to go.

I really haven't had any issues shaving. I can't see whats going on so I am sure I have missed spots around my bikini line but I have been tending that area for so long that I can do it without seeing it.

Syllessa · October 2014

I think I've caught up.

I feel like I've abandoned this place lately. My recovery is going well, as long as I keep on top of the pain. We came home last night to power being out in half the house. The half that controls the heat. It was in the 30s, so we pulled out a space heater and every one camped out in my room.

Lady's with previous C-sections, did you have a lot of swelling after? I'm waiting on the on call doc to call me back, but I'm swollen from the bellybutton down. My left leg is pitting all the way up on my thigh. It's kinda freaking me out.

savicke2009 · October 2014

I just pooped all the poops.. either labor is imminent or its the pizza hut I ate for lunch.. I think I know the answer to this one... $:\$ ">

Emerald27 · October 2014

@syllessa no advice, but I hope you feel better soon!

So I'm drinking my first cup of red raspberry leaf tea. And it tastes terrible. Anyone have suggestions for making me like it? lol...I'm not much of a tea drinker, but I do like earl grey. This is NOT earl grey. :P

Hoping the tea and some evening primrose oil will be a good start toward having this baby before his due date. Next week, stripping membranes (maybe. I might chicken out - does this hurt?!) and getting the chiropractor to try some acupressure. I really don't want to be induced!

Emerald27 · October 2014

I cleaned out our Brita water pitcher today. Disassembled and scrubbed it. Not sure why...I was doing the dishes and it was sitting next to the sink so I decided to clean it too. Nesting level?

Only problem is that I threw away the filter before checking to see if we had any more, and we're out! So it's tap water until I can run to the store tomorrow. Ewww
