Work is eaaasssyyy these days. Construction is still blocking both streets. So my intersection is dead. I'm debating on bringing a folding chair tomorrow and just sitting.
Catching up on my shows On Demand and the commercials are for shows airing January 6th. Made me double take, "holy shit, I'm having my baby January 5th!" :-O
I had a doctors appt with a surprise "let's check things out," needless to say my lady bits were most certainly not ready for a visitor and I didn't feel like shaving my legs this morning. Easily the most embarrassing visit so far! I officially got moved to weekly visits and am dialated to a two! Im afraid we won't be making our jan.17th due date. I really hope she clears me for our little weekend getaway next weekend! *fingers crossed*
I asked this a few days ago, but didn't see a reply. What depilatory cream do you ladies recommend for your lady bits? I have really sensitive skin and shaving cause horrible razor burn, even when I follow up with the Bikini Zone cream.
I'm gonna vent for a second. I'm pretty pissed. So I will probably say stuff that I really don't mean.
I'm so pissed at my H. He's got 16 days off in December. He works so much we hardly see him as it is. He said months ago he wouldn't be making any trips to his parents (4 hours away, in the mountains, with tons of snow) since I'm high risk and will have allot of appointments. Over thanksgiving his parents were here, and his dad told him he should come up to the property to move a log 8-| and to work the leather shop. His dad knows my H will put him before anyone else to make him happy. So now, I told my H I wouldn't be able to go (nor do I want to, but it really doesn't fit into My schedule with my Dr. Appts. ) So he asked when my appts were, and he made this HUGE deal about how NOW he can't go to his parents because of all my appointments. He acts like he didn't know, even though we've known since I was 16 weeks that I'd have all this monitoring starting at 32 weeks. I told him just to go from December 12, To December 16, since he 'MUST' go for 5 days, and I'd just take Owen to my midwife appt, since I won't be able to take him to my mfm appts. OH NO! That won't work, he wants to go later. I have no idea why. So he tells me to rearrange my appointments, so I can go. I don't want to! I don't want to drive 4 + hours away so you can work on your parents property. I don't want to chance going later and being stuck having Christmas there in case the pass gets closed.
So now, that's what he's planning, is just leaving me here, days before Christmas 35 weeks pregnant so he can move a log, and do work in the shop. He wants to make some money, which is always nice, BUT we are not in need of money. It's just his way to please his dad because it's what his dad wants.
Whatever. ....I hope he gets stuck over there and he's needed here. I hope his couple hundred bucks is worth it, to have a pissed off wife.
I'm just so bitter about it because he made it clear months ago to his parents and me that we wouldn't be traveling, and now all of a sudden it's like a "must" to do.
His dad and his brother (who live on the property) can move the fucking log! Why should my husband have to drive that far to do some petty shit like that!? X(
OMGee! Cyber Monday has been almost as frustrating as just going to the store! I was planning to make two separate orders from target (one shipped to our house and one out of state). By the time I finished the first order the toy I wanted for my nephew was out of stock. I then found it at toys r us...it took 15 minutes just to check out! I guess their site is a little bogged down today! But at least my Christmas shopping is done :-)
@MKateG Target's whole website appears to be down now. I'm glad I got my shopping done early. I feel like I haven't seen that many great deals. Not better than the deals I came across before Black Friday.
I don't feel like sending out birth announcements or Christmas cards this year. I'm just feeling really lazy about it. I have a cute picture of me and DS where is he touching my belly and I thought about using that photo with the caption "We're trading silent nights for another bundle of joy." BUT DH isn't in the photo so I feel like that would be weird. He is such a PITA about pictures though. He gets in such a bad mood and then hates every picture with him in it. Since we're going to take family pictures after DD is born I didn't want to push my luck.
Dec '12 & Jan '15
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.
I ate cookies and cream ice cream for breakfast....and I don't feel guilty! It was amazeballs! Tonight I'm taking DS to see the CPR Holiday Train which should be fun (for those of you who don't know, the train is all covered in Christmas lights and they do a 40 minute concert out the side of the train for all the kids) I included a picture of us last year do you can see what it's all about! But DS will get way more out of it this year so I'm excited
Now that we know baby is a boy, I'm trying to figure out sheets to match the room he will be sharing with his sister... the walls are aqua, but there is a pink stripe around the entire room with green writing with yellow dots. See pic (my phone only allowed me to pull from screenshots n insta...weird). I know I can leave the pink, but I kind of want to change it. I'm having a hard time finding sheets that have aqua and green without gray.
(My daughter in the pic is moving to her own room and SO's 3 yo who we have every other weekend will be in the room pictured).
@BackseatDriver yea I haven't seen any huge deals either, I mainly just wanted the free shipping for low priced orders :-) I was going to look around for more of the things were missing for the babies but I gave up. All the sites are so bogged down I couldn't even look. (&I know it's not my internet, its always really fast)
Ahhh, it's December already! And, I'm due THIS MONTH!!! I'm excited to be this close to the end, but feel like we still have a million things to do to get ready for the holidays and baby's arrival. And all I really want to do is sleep......
I took the boys out Christmas shopping for DH this morning, and it wasn't as fun as I'd hoped. Pushing the cart made my pelvis hurt, and it was just cold and rainy and nasty the whole time. But, I think we finished shopping, so yay!
We usually get family photos done in the fall, and then I use my favorites on our Christmas cards. This year, we skipped the pics because I felt too fat and gross, and now I think I'm going to totally skip Christmas cards. I'll do baby announcements instead. Sending both would be too dang expensive.
All I want to eat is junk food. Leftover pumpkin pie counts as a veggie, right?
@saiven gifts are my DH's love language too. When he gives me gifts, instead of just enjoying them I just feel guilty or stressed about how much $$ he spent. And I feel obligated to buy him expensive gifts so he will feel loved. It takes a lot of joy out of gift giving.
I called into my OB because I'm having crazy itching in the palms of my hands and soles of my feet since last night, and it's been getting worse. Looks like I'll be making a trip down to the lab for blood work before leaving work today, fun times!
I found a stray puppy at work today. I see a lot of stray dogs around work but never this young of a puppy (probably 8 weeks or so) and I couldn't just leave him. I could have given him to the janitor to call animal control but took him to the SPCA myself to make sure he got there ok. I was in tears surrendering him. The girl at the front says puppies get adopted pretty quick. I would have loved to take him home but with two dogs and a baby on the way it just wasn't realistic. I know he'll be safe, warm, and dry tonight but my heart is aching. I wanted to take him to a no kill so I called a couple and they weren't accepting drop offs. We have a really good SPCA and the non kill shelters are good about getting dogs from them. They gave me his tag number so I can call for updates. I'm going to hug my fur babies
@bwall84, cute puppy! I would have had a hard time not bringing him home.
I want a puppy SO bad, but DH is the responsible one in our relationship, and he says a puppy and baby at the same time would be too much of a time and money suck. He wants to wait until the boys are 4 and 2 years old so they can "help."
@Maebb I called DH and he said I could bring him home for a little while but I knew if I did it would have been harder to give him up. I hope he finds a good home soon.
All this puppy talk makes me want to get DH a puppy for Christmas - not that I want a puppy but he really really wants a puppy and he would be over the moon. It's not happening though.
@labellavida Sorry that your husband is being such a PITA. ((hugs))
For the past two weeks I've been consistently eating more than my husband. It's super noticeable.

I know this really what you are asking about, but have you ever tried using coconut oil as a shaving cream? I have really sensitive skin, but when I shave with coconut oil, I haven't had as many problems with razor burn! Just an idea!
No, I haven't tried that. But it's worth a shot. Another reason I was asking is because its easier to slap on a cream than try to shave something I can't see. )

BOO! My husband is TERRIBLE at gifts. He's the sweetest, but he's terrible at it. I love him anyway.
Try to let your husband shower you with gifts, even if it makes you slightly uncomfortable. It's how he knows to show you how much you're loved best. Also, make sure he knows your love language and responds to it too. Gifts shouldn't make you feel stress (I say as I stave off a shopping induced panic attack).
-------_-_______________ It's sooooo hard. We always set a cap, and he always goes over it. Then I feel like an ass hole because he over gifted.
