Monday Morning SPAM!!!

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

ive been up for an hour.... Let's hear it!

DS band concert is this week. I'm avoiding decorating for Christmas still. Heartburn kept me up most of the night. And I can't believe I'm on the single week left countdown already. 9 more to go as of today...

Zsmommmy · December 2014

Morning slept decent despite the hip pain omg it's Monday again ugggghhhhhhhh @mom2xover2002‌ it is exciting to be down to single weeks now I have 9 weeks as well due 2-8-15................well the little Bruce lee just decided to karate chop me in my blAdder so up I go have a nice day ladies

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

@Zsmommmy‌ it's crazy how fast it's flown by! I thought morning sickness would never end and now holy crap I'll have a newborn soon!

flyster · December 2014

I am 32 weeks as of yesterday. That is crazy! I can't imagine 2 more months of this though. I'm starting to be pretty cranky from being uncomfortable. DH is being great. If I was in his shoes I'd be pretty annoyed at me. Case in point: yesterday we were painting our bedroom, but bending down was too uncomfortable, so I was scooting my butt along the floor and made him put paint on my roller and hand it to me. I still complained about having to be moving at all.

DHarpster · December 2014

I'm 32 weeks yesterday also! Sleep has been getting tougher but luckily my sister is a massage therapist and I finally got her to give me a massage yesterday, which helped a lot!
I've got my doctor appointment today where I get to meet my new doctor, so that's exciting!

flyster · December 2014

DHarpster I finally was looking up prenatal massages in my area yesterday. We've had 2 gift cards for Spafinder since last Christmas, and somehow never used them. So jealous of you with your sister!

Definitely worth it! Though they can't do any deep tissue massages or anything, but it's super relaxing. It's the first massage she has given me. I told her she has to stop being stingy. Ha ha!

psychobutthead · December 2014

This early and I'm already highly annoyed.

I belong to a facebook yard sale group. Well a woman I have bought from several times posted some stuff last night. I asked if she could hold the lot until Tuesday,. I asked on the pic and via pm.

She sold them this morning! I was the very first person to comment on them last night and no one else had. All she had to do was tell me no need the money now.

I've bought things several times from this same woman and always paid right then. I've neevr asked for a hold before or for a discount from buying so much from her.

I think that was pretty rude thing to do especially since I've bought things almost exactly as those items and when I bought those from her I asked her to please let me know if she ever sold that again. Never got any kind of notificiation that she was again. Grr people!

lelly0086 · December 2014

Good morning ladies! We are getting discharged from the hospital in a couple hours. So my Monday has been fantastic! Can't wait to be home and see my dogs lol i have random rant for today, while staying here in L & D this past weekend I met another lady due in Feb. She's here to stop some pre term labor contractions she was having. Anyhow she actually had the nerve to tell me (and dead seriously mind you) she wants her baby to be born now for the tax benifets! She was upset that the doctors wouldn't let her continue to labor & said when she got home she was going to do everything possible at home to bring on labor again. It really pissed me off, here I am desperately trying to stay healthy enough to carry my baby to term or close to it & she wants hers to be born 8 weeks early for a pay day!!!! I hope she realizes that raising a baby will cost a lot more then the check she hopes to get at tax time. I'm so annoyed at some people's ignorance these days....

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

@lelly0086‌ ugh that would make me mad too! People think NICU stays at this stage are no big deal. HELLO it is a big deal. Sure my bedrest sucks and I'm tired of being pg already but having a kiddo in the NICU with iv's again etc..no way!

flyster · December 2014

lelly0086 ugh that is just so gross. I don't know how doctors deal with people like that.

pitdigger · December 2014

Good morning! It's been a weekend. (It was actually rather enjoyable.)

Saturday I got the tree decorated, so we're now ready for Christmas!

Yesterday I got to chat with a couple of teammates who were down in Mexico for NACRA and found out when and where 2015 will be. It will be in the States. Yay! Easy-ish to get to depending on where. It will be in June. BOO! There's no way I can be in playing shape for June. I've been able to maintain some strength, but I'm fairly sure that my cardio has taken a major enough hit to make me useless on a 7s pitch for a few months. So, I'm rather disappointed. However, my potential participation might be moot because it may be the Olympic qualifier for 2016, in which case it's Bermudians only and I'm ineligible. I'll just have to see how it goes.

Other than that, it's pretty much business as usual. But it's finally pizza and movie night again with the end of childbirth classes last week.

michelle142 · December 2014

Good morning ladies!

I feel horrendous this morning. I was up all night with horrible back pain. Now I feel crampy and awful. I've been having a lot of BH, some of which are painful. I have a regular check up in an hour, so I'll get checked out then, but man I feel horrible.

DS brought me a book this morning and said to me: "Mom, remember when we read this book on Tuesday? That was WAY BACK when I was a little kid!"

LOL he never fails to make me laugh!

cloe111479 · December 2014

So ladies i need opinions:

Saturday was my shower. It all came together very nice. I sort of knew who was involved but not totally until the day of so I never got thank you gifts for them. It's really hard to do blanket gifts for them all. None of them like the same things. (Like 2 would love massage gifts, others wouldn't).

Would you -- 1 -- get a gift specific to each but for the same amounts?

2-- find something they all would want and go with it. Ie I found this. (Link won't work but a cute personalized umbrella).

I'm stuck. I get them all Christmas presents so... I just don't know!

Hernsy · December 2014

Ahhh, Monday. I am at 30 weeks and starting to freak out. We FINALLY got our flooring in and hope to put it in, in two weeks. I can then actually feel like we're making progress on the baby's room! This is my week for a flex Friday off and I am already looking forward to the short work week.

Hope you all have a good day!

jennjilljo · December 2014

@lelly0086 Yay for getting released but it's awful that anyone would think that way and have the need to voice it to another person. Terrible! I'm happy for you though.

@cloe111479 I like option 2. It's cute, practical and doesn't limit your Christmas gift options.

The only 50+ days to go hit me too. In just over a week I'll be under 50 days until baby arrives. I'm almost sad that I don't have an appointment this week. My OB went out of her way to get me just one more u/s and I'm so anxious to see Rosalyn again. I remember getting the 3D with DS and seeing his hair waving around in the amniotic fluid and just how magical each little movement was. I just have to wait another week though. It's dumb because I know we have moms on here whose guts wrench at every u/s because of possible defects but I can't help it.

ordinary1 · December 2014

Annabelle woke up as H was leaving for work. Cue meltdown as he left.

I have a growth u/s today (measured big by three weeks at last appointment). I'm hoping they will also be able to see if baby is a boy or girl.

selly08 · December 2014

@dorothygale01‌ OMG I didn't know you were admitted. I am glad all looks good. Seems like I have been missing a lot. I am sorry I have been away. I am just not feeling too up and that's why I am staying away. I hope all are doing well. I am fine but just need some time to get back to my normal self. I will be back soon, I promise.

misshart00 · December 2014

No big news here. Just feeling big and ugh. Two more months. And baby keeps whacking me in the ribs and hips. It's like I can actually feel both expanding.

PeaceofKia · December 2014

My department head came to observe me teaching this morning and I think she really enjoyed it. Whew!! So glad I knew what I was doing! Happy Monday Bumpies!

OAN: You guys...January 23rd seems SOOOOO far away today. On Thursday, 7 weeks sounded like it was right around the corner. Today, I feel like I'm in a never ending baby baking marathon. It's only December 8th!! Ahhhh! I'm going pregnant crazy!!

wirtlehm · December 2014

@lelly0086 & @dorothygale01Glad to hear you're BOTH ok! I'm really hoping it goes more smoothly for you from here on out!

@cloe111479, I couldn't afford to do anything really nice or extravagant but I did buy them some nice coffee mugs and then made a floral arrangement in each of them. I have a few more showers and will probably do the same thing for the hosts of those showers as well.

My spam-a-roo today: I am sick as a dog, congestion and coughing GROSS... however, because I don't have the opportunity to work from home I had to come in today... yippie skippy for all the folks I'm contaminating at work! If I spike a fever I'll probably go to the hospital since DH's ENTIRE family has been sick w the flu, but for now it remains at the "cold" level so that's what I'm going with.

Also, thanks a BUNCH @mom2xover2002! You just drew attention to the fact that I have NOTHING done and will be in the single digit week countdown on Thursday... needless to say, now I'm freaking out! :O

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

@wirtlehm‌ hahaha! If it makes you feel any better the ONLY major baby purchase we have done is a stroller. There is 0 furniture in the girls room, no car seat yet, pack-n-play...nada...lol

psychobutthead · December 2014

So the pregnant aid came and stopped by to talk to me this morning.

I was nice and asked how her weekend went. I asked how is her sugar going because I'm having issues with mine.

She laughed and told me she didn't really know because she never tests like shes suppose to, that she tests maybe once a day and has been eating whatever she wants.

I sat there just shocked. She told me last week the doctors did a growth scan and already told her that her baby is over weight and she he will be taken before 38 weeks probably and will have to have steroids to boost his lungs.

If you know that why would you continue to do what you're not suppose to do?

I really need to start shutting my office door.

This is the first I mentioned it! No worries. We are all good, thankfully!

I hope you are well!

Ahh okay.. I thought I missed it out since I was away. So glad everybody is ok. I am good too. Just not in the right state of mind.

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

@psychobutthead‌ omg really?? Why?? I just don't understand some people.

srcr2011 · December 2014

DD,

I need to read the serenity prayer and then read it again! I have been such a control freak lately, nesting and under a lot of stress. In addition to the weird abdominal pain I've been having, I started getting right sided chest pain. I had DS and my nephew Saturday and all they did was fight and destroy my house. I was ready to run away. I took a bath and went to bed on Saturday night with chest pain and woke up Sunday morning with it. My house was not the way I wanted it, and I decided to go to my moms. I relaxed, ate breakfast, enjoyed my time with her and chest pain was gone. About 3 hours later, I went home and immediately the chest pain came back. That when I realized it was all stress. I have always been one to go with the flow as far as a messy house. Having kids = messy things, I know that. This is not a normal me.

I feel so guilty that I have not enjoyed this pregnancy as much as I did with DS. Who knows, this may be my last and I feel horrible that I want it to be over already. I also feel guilty because I have wanted this baby for such a long time and when through a lot to finally be here, now that I am, I want her OUT! Feb can not come soon enough. Am I a horrible person for feeling this way?

Sincerely,
The "crazy hormonal pregnant lady"

Hernsy · December 2014

Speaking of hostess gifts. I need to get 8 of them. I found these and they are in my budget for hostess gifts. I am thinking about getting each person's initial and the stone in Ryan's birthstone. Then the message will be something "from" Ryan about thinking of her every time they see it or something like that? Would you like this if you were a hostess?

michelle142 · December 2014

So my MW is pretty sure I have a bladder infection. Fun times.

wirtlehm · December 2014

@Hernsy, that's really cute! I, personally, would think this was a wonderful gift!

Also, I need nursery advice: our colors are coral and grey... I'm doing grey walls and trying to accent w the coral, however, now I'm thinking I need some coral on the wall. DH suggested an accent wall but I think that would be too much pink in the room... any ideas on how to incorporate just a LITTLE coral on my walls (I'm planning on getting the letters for her name and covering them in different coral patterned fabrics)...

michelle142 · December 2014

@wirtlehm what about coral picture frames or coral shelves?

Hernsy · December 2014

@wirtlehm - can you add the coral to curtains or do something like the pattern fabrics on canvas or in embroidery hoops?

** stuck in the box!

Maybe one wall with coral accents? Like a stripe, or dots, or a border or something?

jennjilljo · December 2014

@srcr2011 You are not terrible. I love this child and I want her as healthy as possible before she gets her but I want that time to be right now. I'm so uncomfortable and chasing a kid around makes it harder, especially if you have anxiety problems to begin with. I feel terrible often because I allow my frustrations to affect my attitude towards DH and DS, sometimes just being annoyed at them for no reason. Try to find some more you time to relax and be away from the stress when you can.

GeekBeagle · December 2014

One of my friends who is due in mid-March just found out that she is having twins! Imagine the shock in finding out at 25+ weeks! The reason she found out so late is that she was seeing a midwife that doesn't do ultrasounds, just doppler. The midwife thought she heard two heartbeats at her last appointment, so sent her for an u/s. Crazy!

PeaceofKia · December 2014

I woke up in another shivering spell...this is the 2nd time it's happened. I wake up shivering violently, teeth chattering, crying and cold for no reason what's so ever. It freaks poor DH out...I have no explanation for it other than...I'm pregnant. Lol.

youre not a bad person. i want this kid out badly so i dont feel sick all the time anymore.

i feel guilty about it because after my mc i swore i would deal with anything thrown my way if it meant a healthy baby.
i feel like some days someone is testing me.

racheltherose · December 2014

Hello ladies

Been laying low the past few days since I noticed some very light spotting last week. Doctor checked it out, everything is fine just trying to take it easy. My belly has been getting increasingly sore and my pelvis/hips are constantly aching. Oh the joys of the third tri, right?!

Getting excited for Christmas, my husband let me open one present early because he wanted to be sure it fit, he got me one of the nursing bras from the Dita Von Teese line at motherhood maternity... I'm OBSESSED. I didn't want to take it off! So comfortable and really cute too

I hope all is well!

Alygohome · December 2014

Sounds like most of us are counting down the weeks! I agree that this is uncomfortable!
I was up all night puking and now I'm starving. Is 10'am to early for potato skins and Mac and cheese?

mommaa1615 · December 2014

Um, I'm eating queso as a morning snack.

mom2xover2002 · December 2014

@Alygohome‌ I just ate a whole thing of biscuits by myself since DH ate all the cereal before work.
