@musicgirl524 hahaha but man would I kill for your understanding of numbers!!! You should see the way I quadruple check my measurements and budget calculations.. I go full Rainman and mutter to myself. It's cute.
Just sitting in the waiting room ready to get my shot. I tried to lay down earlier to take a nap and could not fall asleep. Now I am tired. I think when I get back home I will try again. This will just have to be my lazy day. I will hopefully be more productive tomorrow.
I just got a call from my endocrinologist saying they accidentally gave me the wrong blood work results....My levels are still extremely abnormal and they think I need to see a cardiologist for my chest pain right away. Then I called my OB to see what they thought and they told me they sent in a referral to a cardiologist last week after my appointment. My OB said she thinks that my contractions were not just BH now that they know my thyroid numbers were so low. I need to go in for appointments every two weeks to monitor my heart rate, Emery's heart rate, and to make sure I don't go into pre-mature labor. Fanfuckingtastic.

Tell me why I drive myself nuts by doing things like visit the baby shower board. My thoughts and feelings are my own, and I know I go against the grain... but yet I go over there expecting to see really cute baby shower themes and ideas. Instead all I get are people screaming about etiquette, and what is or isnt tacky, and how Mother to bes should just show up and be grateful and not do anything at all. Oh for crying out loud, some people need to just shut the fuck up about it already.

But for real, can we discuss why there is an ENTIRE board for this? Like. We get it. Only have one, or don't. Only register for affordable things, or don't. Zomg please have alcohol there, or don't.....NONE OF US WILL BE AT YOUR SHOWER. JUST OPEN THE FUCKING PRESENTS.

Tell you what, I'll help with your budgeting/accounting and draft up a set of financials for your Etsy business in exchange for special discounts on your adorable pillows.
Deal!!! But then I have to show you my ridiculous profit margin and you may not want to pay for said pillows at all (being a designer I get ridiculous fabric discounts)
Yikes @AshleySparkle720 sorry to hear that. At least they realized their error and you can be monitored the way you need to. Hopefully you can take a break? I know you've been working CRAZY ridiculously hard lately.
I hope Ella feels better. was she just anxious about the water? @lizzybean
No I really don't know @foxslaw. She isn't scared of the water, she gets in just fine. She just didn't want to do any of the lessons today. It was bizarre. She wouldn't kick, wouldn't paddle, wouldn't climb out, wouldn't jump in, just cried or stayed still, as much as I encouraged her. It is so frustrating..
Former swimming lessons teacher here and you need to not be present at the lessons. I could get the kids to do 10x more activities and drills when a parent wasn't watching.
Ignore me. I just saw in your next post that you get in the water with her.
Yeah @chickenonsunday we are just in the last stage of infant lessons where I still get in the pool with her, next cycle she will be on her own. And I will definitely remember your advice for then! Thanks
So. How do you vipers feel about Rheachel for Rachel? It definitely made me raise an eyebrow and I'm pretty okay with most uneek names.
Sorry to all you Rheachels who might be reading this! Don't want another Abby/ @crabigator situation.
Ugh I'm a Rachel and I can't even stand Rachael's. Too many vowels. Also, I work in a call center and I BEG you.. if you don't want your child offended when I mispronounce their name, spell it normal. THANKS! (I just had to call Thanyarat)
@ChickenOnSunday hahaha I so desperately want you to follow up and see how far you can go with getting free boots from the boss... But ultimately I think I'd get skeeved out by wearing boots my boss bought me... But I would look fabulous.. So it's a tough call...

Yeah chicken that is a tough one. And really hard to know without knowing his personality! I say try to make a joke about them again and gage his response. If he offers again, I say get your boots and don't question it!
A month after he announced it, I think DBF's brother is moving out! I like him, but I will be very grateful to have our own space (plus *maybe* this is the first step in the DEATH OF MEGACOUCH)!!!!!
@ChickenOnSunday, what did you say you did again? office work my ass.
I wouldve totally tried to get the boots.

Sitting at my local justice court waiting to speak to the DA about my speeding ticket from back in August. Hopefully I can get it substantially reduced, if not completely forgiven, because of the circumstances.

omg best feeling ever. We had temporary roommates because they were kicked out of their other house and the girl was pregnant... WORST PREGO EVER. She puked every morning (loud) and ate the most disgusting shit and whined a lot. Her boyfriend catered to her every request and it was sick to watch. They also never showered or cleaned. SO happy they're gone and I have my couch back lol

Me three. It's a friend of a Facebook friend (I'm sorry, I'm a creature of my generation) and she's having her baby today! I need to do more social network sleuthing, but I'm 90% sure she's naming her boy Nova.
@jaztastic seriously I know!! That shower board is crazy. I'm too old to follow what's right and not right. If my mom needs help with my shower because she is from another country then yes I will help her! I just shake my head. Too each it's own

Um, I'm pretty offended to be mentioned in even the same CONVERSATION as that abomination of a spelling!
Here's my real reaction: it looks like how a Game of Thrones knockoff series would spell Rachel.

This is why I love you... hope your day is as happy as you have made mine.

FX it's nothing. I went to the cardiologist last week and had to have an echo and get to walk around with a heart monitor the next 30 days. The good news is...you are being monitored and will hopefully prevent anything major from happening. Keep us updated!

Thinking about you @AshleySparkle720!! Im sorry you have all this to worry about
MIL just texted us saying she ordered both cribs and car seats for the girls! She's so amazing! I feel like a huge cloud was just blown away at the thought of cost for those! Everything else will be a breeze!

Talked to my HR lady at work and got my scheduling fixed. Yay! And I know how I've complained about customers always asking when I'm due and blah blah. So check out the shirt I made online. Hopefully you guys will get as big of a kick out of it as I will wearing it to work! (It'll probably be sideways since I mobile bump)
@mrsclark731 Thanks for sharing. I haven't watched the video yet, but will try to later today when I'm possibly less likely to want to cut anyone afterwards.

Holy cow spam is long today. I'm gonna post and catch up later. Today seems to be one big cluster. DH got a cortisone shot hoping it would help his back but the lastest pain is different so they want him to get an MRI again because they think he did more damage. This one hurt so bad he couldn't drive after so I had to leave work and bring him home. On the ride home he tells me that he is looking a surgery again. Which either means flying to Florida for laser surgery and paying out of pocket or 8 weeks recovery time probably in February. Exactly what I need post delivery another person to take care of with no help. To which he tells me his mom is willing to come help, of that happens I will need a straight jacket and a paded room. Get back to work and its a soup fest fundraiser. As I'm carrying my crockpot back to wash it the cover slides off and shatters. I didn't even get an applause for it. I did however get pity monster cookie bars and apple kuchen. Wow that was longer than I thought it would be. Thanks for the ranting outlet its much needed.
I just almost ralphed in the waiting room at doctors office. Dr noticed me looking pale and grabbed me a bucket and put me in a room. Apparently going to birth class when feeling gross is a baddd idea. All that c sections and blood would never usually bother me but I guess my tummy is just too weak today. Or maybe it was the smell of the cookies everyone was eating. Yeck.
Just got back from speaking with the DA. So I got my ticket reduced down to a non-moving violation so I get to maintain my perfect driving record, however, I still have my $138 fine, of which they have tacked an additional $35 to because I asked for an extension..........its the small victories I guess
