I hate when I tell people this is my first baby and they automatically tell me that the baby will be late.
It's my first too and people keep telling me I'll go early. I really want to ask, "And you know this how...?" But I know they're just trying to make conversation.
I left work early because I don't feel well. The only problem is that I had to cancel my appointment to get my brows done and I practically have a woolly bear on my forehead.
It's really weird because my only symptom is a foggy head. Like dizzy, but not quite. Wait, wait, you guise! Do you think this means I'm in labor?? (jkjk)
I feel just like this today! We definitely have babies coming today...
@NatureLovers I'm sorry your MIL and SIL are being total jerks. I don't understand how people can talk like that to other people and be oblivious to how hurtful it is. I'm glad DH seems to have your side in this one. I can't imagine how much harder it would make things if he didn't.
@grumpycat88 that was me with this LO. With the PTL scares and my medical team thinking I would be lucky to make it to 34 weeks, I was terrified when that day came because I was afraid I would magically go into labor. Now here I am almost 37 weeks and still pregnant!
I almost cried walking to my car last night when I left the hospital. I'm normally a very tough, strong person, but the back, hip, and pelvic pain are almost too much. Plus it took me a good 5 minutes to get changed back into my regular clothes at the hospital and the L&D nurse had the balls to chuckle at the struggle I was in.
My family is annoying because my grandmother has said "you can't have the baby between December 14 and January 6" because she's going out of town and my mom has said not between December 18-22 or December 24-January 3 because she will also be gone. I already have a tentative date of January 10 for induction if my BP continues to behave. If not, those bitches may be out of luck.
And is it bad that I kind of hope I do have her while my grandmother is out of town because she makes me BSC?? When I was in the hospital after I had my son, a nurse came in the room and said "There is a woman out here who wants to visit you. She says she's your grandmother but she doesn't know your last name." I wanted to tell the nurse to tell her to GTFO but I let her in.

This is when you initiate the throat punch! What a twat!

My DH told me I should've kicked her in the crotch, I told him I tried but I can't get my foot up that high anymore. Ha ha
finally remembered to call blue cross to find out if an electric pump was covered, it wasn't with my daughter but people keep telling me they've gotten them through their ins. so figured I'd check again...NOPE only manual I have the medela free style from my last pregnancy but if I was gonna get an electric one for free I woulda enjoyed having a new one and I kind of think the bigger medelas (not the one that I have which is like portable for work and stuff) probably works better than mine. O well. I'm gonna look into the cost of renting a hospital grade one too.
We're getting ready for a big storm to blow in. Right now, the Bay Area and coast is getting the brunt of it. By the time is gets here it won't be as bad but it will still be pretty strong. I live in an older neighborhood with lots of big trees and I hope no trees fall over. We have a Eucalyptus tree in our yard and they tend to be brittle. We had to have one removed after branches kept falling.
6 more days until Christmas break then I won't return to work until end of February or beginning of March. I can't believe it's almost time!
I am so tired of showing the tiniest bit of emotion that isn't "happy" and having everyone around me automatically blame my hormones or make a pregnancy hormone comment!
Yes, I get that crying during a baby commercial is my hormones, but being angry at someone for not doing something you asked them to do because you can't physically do it is a valid response not a hormonal one!
What an eventful day today turned out to be. My washing machine motor blew on the first load. The whole house filled with smoke. Meanwhile, my MW office called 4 times trying to schedule a growth US for today before my appointment. So I had to pick the kids up early from school and go there with all of them. Good news is she's measuring perfectly at an estimated 7 lbs. What a peanut compared to the others! I had DS2 at 38 weeks and he was 7.14
I have the song "Damn, it Feels Good to be a Gansta" stuck in my head. The title of the song are the only words I know, so I just keep singing that line over and over again. My DS loves anytime I sing, so he's really enjoying it. Haha.
I always come in too late (west coast issues) to read the 4+ pages already going when I log in... but...
Random:
I really dislike that when a page on TB doesn't load correctly it shows a little dead face under "something went wrong." Maybe this has been said before but it's really disconcerting on this website!

Gah! My H's Christmas present isn't available in my area, so my mom ordered and payed for it in her state. She went to Walmart to go pick it up, it's no longer available. Why would they let her spend $150 for something they don't have!! Now, they're giving her the run around. Grr...
January '15 January Siggy Challenge: Newborn/Baby Fails
I was on my way out the door for work, 10 minutes late, when I realized that it is Thursday- not Friday. I dare someone to say something about the jeans I am wearing today.
I wore jeans to work yesterday. My work pants are too long so whenever the ground is wet I wear my skinny jeans instead. I also dare someone to say something to me about it.
The funny part for me is that no adult will bother to say anything. 1 week before Christmas break, no one cares. It's my students who will probably comment on it lol.
I wish we could wear jeans to work. We are not allowed, even on Fridays This is the first school I've worked at that has this rule.
Boo for you ladies! I switched school in September to a vocational high school. Very relaxed teaching/learning environment here. Jeans are standard. Today I am "classy" in my leggings and sweater vest.
Also, it snowed a lot here last night and is still snowing this morning. Buses are cancelled but schools are open. Almost all our kids are bussed, so it's basically a ghost town here. I can bump all morning finish up my marking and get notes ready for my supply!
And I stole a yoga ball from phys. ed. to sit on instead of my office chair. My pelvis is happy.
That seriously sounds like the BEST day ever as a teacher!! Yoga ball grading FTW!! I'm sure in my district they'd make us attend some sort of meeting before giving us the entire school day to be productive. My To Do list for school is almost so ridiculously long that i don't even like to look at it. Let alone attempt to start a task. I may have to go in to school this weekend to get something done for my sub & ML.
Dude, do whatever you want to do. Wear them if you want, take them off if you don't. If you're worried about losing them, give them to a relative (since they live nearby) or put them in a safe deposit box. No worries.
I feel like I am going to wear them until divorce is finalized, because, I'm still married right now? A little bit of denial I guess.
Just kidding, I took them off tonight. He called on his cell phone. He doesn't have cell service at mommy's house. I asked him where he was and he was "out". Then he was in the town she lives in (where the school is at), but not spending the night. Then he was at the school. All in the same conversation. At 7 pm.
I love that the butthurt new posters never try to interact in these threads and instead post the dumbest questions, freak out and disappear. We've covered everything from rude family to pregnancy farts, add in some updates about the little squishes that have arrived and I think we've covered it all for a Thursday. Unfortunate that people can't use this blog/website/app correctly.
@nah82 ugh- yes I agree with @saiven you do whatever you need to get through this. Fwiw my mom went through this with my step dad when we were growing up and it absolutely sucked but in the end she was much happier and eventually got together with her husband now who is amazing. My step dad tried to go back and forth between the other woman and my mom but fortunately he always made it obvious how weasely he was so she never took him back...thank god! It's obvious that you are really strong bc I would be curled up in a ball at this point.

My daughter decided she didn't want to be put down today for naps, and wanted to be held instead. I'm tired.
You ever realize the charger cord to your laptop isn't in? And you're watching your percentage go down... and it's currently at 2% and I'mm too lazy to get up and get the cord. And this better not die before I press "post reply" or I'm gonna be ticked.
Lazy for the win.
