I'm putting off studying. My nursing midterm is Tuesday but my anatomy scan is tomorrow and I'm just so excited/nervous.
Little man has been so active I'm just still blown away every time I feel those movements on my belly! I always wondered what it would feel like to feel a baby move inside you and so happy to finally know.
Also I had ham, mac and cheese and cake for breakfast. Not even sorry.
We're renovating our house, so we're having to pack everything and move out from 1 November until some time in December. Yesterday, my husband and I realized that there was some furniture that served no purpose, but instead of trying to sell it, we were like 'fuck it, let's give this shit away'. I posted on the Facebook page for our part of town not even two hours ago, and we've already given away two bookcases, a mattress, a chair, a bike rack, a desk and a carpet cleaner. We also have someone who may be claiming a loveseat. I guess I didn't realize how much people love free shit.
Looks like it's going to be Serious Business Sunday for us. Going over our budget again, re-installing Windows on my gaming computer, studying for my Java quiz tomorrow, researching big ticket baby items, and deciding on health coverage for next year.
All I really want to do is play video games and eat donuts. Adulting!
@kellbell1982 Congratulations to your sister!! Prayers and baby dust all over their lives together! <:-P </p>
No baby dust. A lot of bumpies find this phrase offensive and hurtful.
May I ask why?
Some loss moms have had their baby cremated.
Omg. Thank you for pointing that out. All throughout my journey with infertility and IUIs and IVFs and my own losses, my IF girls and I always used it like Tinkerbell's fairy dust and if you just stay positive, good things will happen. I never ever thought of it in that way and certainly would never mean it that way. My bad, @kellbell1982 and @FrecklesInside. It won't happen again.
DH made waffles this morning. He's usually an amazing cook, but today he misread the recipe and added baking soda instead of baking powder. Worst waffles ever, even with about three times as much syrup dumped on.
@mangomimosa Happy Birthday! @kellbell1982 Congrats to your sis and her partner! @cafecreme I hope they find out what is wrong soon... or hopefully the "getting better after the getting worse" part goes ahead and starts. @earthian I'm sorry that you have to stand by and let that happen... hopefully she realizes sooner rather than later that the relationship must end. @WinningColors Chocolate chip pumpkin cookies?!? That sounds amazing!
We are heading home from Lubbock where Texas Tech actually won their football game! I don't think a bowl game is very realistic this year, but it is always good to see a win. Plus, we saw Kliff Kingsbury from like 5 feet away. :x H actually asked if I had had any pregnancy sex dreams about him once, haha! Sadly, no.
Also, H put his head on my belly this morning, and LO kicked him! We both thought it was hilarious!
I'm legit angry over the ss who immediately went to the weight insult. I know I shouldn't be worried about someone like that and shouldn't waste my time. But that shit is just so low and full of hate I can't help it.

Did they taste fuzzy?
Very salty with a metal tang, actually. There was no saving them.
So if you don't know already, my dad passed away in April. His wife just called me to let me know that she's dating my dad's brother...and has been since my dad died. I'm pretty sure it was going on before he died. I am totally weirded out and not ok with this. Am I totally overreacting? Seriously, anything to do with my dad is still so fresh for me that I can't figure out how I am supposed to feel about this.
So i used to rationalize in my brain that it was ok that this pregnancy was gonna last 9+ months because it gives us the time to get emotionally and financially ready but now at almost half way through i feel like im gonna jump out of my dang skin with anticipation lol i have no patience for pregnancy lol i want him/her here now!!! :-D
March 15' January Siggy Callenge: Animals Being Jerks
Thanks guys. I'm just like in total shock about it. I understand how it could happen but that's just so weird in my book. And I'm like...what so we are going to have thanksgiving and they will be there together? Just not ok.
@meowkitten firstly I'm so so sorry for the loss of your dad. Big hugs to you.
But secondly, it's super weird for a couple of reasons: 1- the obvious brother dating and so soon after death but 2- why would she feel the need to call you and tell you? Were you particularly close?
I agree with PPs and think that talking to a pro about it might be the best way to go because you're not overreacting and it's not ok- and I would honestly have no idea what to do with that info.

My mom passed away 7 years ago and if her bf did that now, it would STILL be weird.
My a/s scan is tomorrow and im super excited! DH doesnt grasp how important this appt is and I've explained the appt to him multiple times. "Theyre just gonna like..count ten fingers and confirm im having a son, right?" Maybe he'll understand tomorrow.
@meowkitten Sorry about the loss of your dad. And like pp said, I'd go talk to a pro. That is a lot to take in, and a lot of feelings to feel and try to cope with. Sending hugs.
I'm obsessed with Tea Collection clothes for DD, H keeps telling me little miss doesn't need their clothes until she can walk. I'm in several b/s/t groups and rarely pay retail for any of it. I've been scouring the tiny sizes for deals. He just shakes his head at me.
I like Tea Collection too- but like you said, retail is crazy expensive. Some of their fits are weird so I've stayed away from it for that reason too. I'm all about Gymboree right now though.
I'm going to talk to my counselor about it for sure. I am still pretty close with her, they got married when I was 12 and I still talk to her on a weekly basis. I think she just didn't want me to find out from someone else I guess? She made a comment about how "they" still want to be in the baby's life and I was like...my uncle is not going to be in my child's life in any capacity other than a great-uncle...and he and I aren't close at all so I don't know why they would think otherwise. It's just weird. I'm dreading Thanksgiving even more now.
On top of which, she has two kids that I consider my siblings and what...they are going to be my cousins if they got married? Which is sounds like it's pretty serious and that could happen. And she'd be my aunt? That's just messed up. Ugh.

Mine is tomorrow too! H has started to get how important it is and is a little nervous like me.
Does anyone know if they tell you on the spot if everything is ok or does your ob get a report and let you know?

Ours is Wednesday!!! Eeeek! My monthly OB appointment is scheduled for directly after the A/S so hopefully she will review everything with us.

My monthly appt is Wednesday also and I wasn't sure if that would be too soon to discuss it or not. Looks like it might not be. I just wanna know!!

Yea, this is really awkward, and I can definitely understand why it would be incredibly upsetting Sorry you have to deal with this mess...especially if they are serious enough that it will be a long term thing that will permanently impact your relationship with the individuals involved. Hugs.
We just got back from our weekend away. It was absolutely wonderful. Now I'm dreading going to work tomorrow. As a sidenote- what has been going on with the trolling drama lately!? (Going to catch up now).
While we were away, I learned that an old friend from high school was in a car accident with her young son and husband. She and her husband survived, but her son didn't. My heart is absolutely breaking for her. I can't imagine the pain she and her family are going through.
I hope everyone had a great weekend, if you already have children, please hug them a little tighter tonight. If you have any positive thoughts to spare, please send them out for an old classmate. I'm sure she could use them.
Oh no. Thinking of them. If you are close I can point you tears some resources for them if you'd like.
Thank you to everyone thinking of us today. I cannot believe it's been a year. We did a balloon release with friends at the pond today. I'm exhausted now. We also did a walk to remember yesterday.
Hey errrryone! I'm exhausted. Cleaning yesterday took it all outta me! I have not accomplished much today-little laundry and food for tomorrow in the crock pot. Got a mani pedi so that was nice.
Add me to the a/s list tomorrow!!! So excited! @janda426 I have my ob check up after, they told me to do that so they can go over everything then. So excited to see this little fish again and hope they are able to see everything they need to. And definitely excited to hopefully see boy or girl. I think girl and H thinks boy...haha. I guess that's natural. Sitting here watching football and I'm feeling all kinds of what I think is movement and it's so exciting!! I mean I still don't know for sure.
@MrsLaurenandDan I was thinking of you yesterday, wondering how you were doing! Big hugs honey. The balloon release looked nice.
@cafecreme hugs to you too, hopefully she gets better fast.
@meowkitten wow. Definitely not normal and I hope you get to talk to someone about it. Hugs in the meantime, and very sorry for your loss.
My a/s is tomorrow as well! I am super excited and so glad that my husband will be able to go with me! We were able to make a late appointment at a different office. Good luck to everyone else with appointments tomorrow!
We went to one of the best haunted houses in the area last night. We got there a little after 9pm and didn't get to the front of the line until after 1am. We didn't make it home until after 3am. My feet were absolutely killing me! I was ready to sleep at 11:30 so it wasn't as much fun as I hoped it would be.. Plus they don't scare me anyway. I'm brave you guys!

@cafecreme I'm so sorry. I hope things start to look up soon!.
I'm also half baked today! I celebrated by spending all the money on maternity clothes. Ugh. I'm happy and stressed all at the same time.
@kellbell1982 Congrats to your sis and her partner!

And since when is a size ten fat? Not like im making a human being or anything. #:-S
It's cool and rainy in Arizona today! I have fall candles burning while I do some laundry and cleaning.
H has spent the weekend sanding and staining my old bed from my single days. We moved it out of the guest room to make it into a nursery...
It's getting real.
