@Peledreamsofrain that is actually funny. I'm guessing he is still asleep now lol
I am up early because I picked up a weekend shift due to a co workers broken arm, while my husband is snuggly in bed. I was up anyways because apparently my body no longer wants sleep nor can get comfortable.
I did buy a maternity belt yesterday to help with my lower back pain, today is the first day wearing it to work. Lets hope it helps
Silly husband edition: Me: (listening to radiohead) H: what are you doing? Me: playing some good music for the baby H: (as Thom York wails in the background) what are you playing this for, are you trying to teach her how to cry?
Also my baby kicked my boss in the face yesterday. Someone was giving me a hug because it was a long day. She called it a big belly hug. So my boss says, "no, a big belly hug would be like this" and proceeds to hug me around the waist and puts her face on my belly. Immediately baby kicks her in the face. Haha.
@ LionelBtchy thats funny..i guess the baby already doesnt like her.lol Its only 8:18 and i have already ate 3 honey buns!!..i so need to hide them bc if not they well be all gone before 9!!
Morning! @Peledreamsofrain, sorry your sleep was cut short . Funny - that's the sort of thing I would do to my DH.
Finally got a good night's sleep and am starting to kick this cold and feel like myself again. I was up in the night for about an hour, but I still managed about 9 hours.
I am chowing down my breakfast like it's my last meal. I've had really bad heartburn and I heard that eating slower amongst other things can help. For the life of me, I cannot eat slowly- I try so hard but I feel like a ravenous dog whenever I see food in front of me-just can't slow down.
Here's my random thought from this morning. I see on this board over and over again that middle names aren't really used so it doesn't matter if all three names flow nicely as long as first and last do.
I use my girls first and middle names all the time. I picked out middle names for them, why wouldn't I use them regularly? It's their name. I think I am in the minority here.
It's 9 am here but I've been up since 7 thanks to the sound of breaking glass. Not just a small sound, but a loud one that sounded like a window being busted. Scared the hell out of me and dd1, and woke up dd2 who could sleep through a stampede. If it woke her up, it had to have been loud. Except now, I can't find any broken glass. I've checked every window, the dishwasher, the cupboard, and where glass could've been broken and nothing. It's creepy because it's not the first time it's happened, but last time our security system went off(again, nothing broken, cops checked every window as well). Checked it this morning and I think I forgot to arm it before bed. So tired of random stuff like this happening. Is it January so I can move yet?
@chilibeansm0m - I hear you on the holiday party. I'm not going to mine because I can't bring my H and I have no desire to go and watch a bunch of people get drunk. And I don't even like the majority of people I work with to take time away from being with my H.
My H always leaves the screen off of the fire place. 2 years ago we had a small ember burn the hardwoods. He promised to never do it again. Last night I fell asleep on my love sac in front of the fire and my H starts screaming at me to get up. Once again he opened the screens and an ember popped out. I didn't get burned but my blanket and brand new love sac now have huge holes.
I am about to ban him from using the fireplace. I swear he is going to burn the house down. He is too thoughtless and careless too frequently. We are finally in a place where we can have nice things and he is ruining them!!!

/end random "woke up too early" musings.
I use my daughters middle names constantly, they both flow great with their first names so it's a natural thing. They refer to each other as that too. We picked names based on how they flowed and sounded together. I'm like you, if I picked it out, I'm gonna use it.
@chaysefaith I'm totally with you on the middle names. It would actually bother me if my kids middle names didn't flow because then I wouldn't be comfortable using them. If I give her a name, I'm going to use it.
@jacqueleen1 are belts best if you area on your feet all day? I'm thinking of getting one but I sit in front of a computer and don't know if it's worth it for when I'm walking around.
We have my holiday party tonight. I think we are going to go for a little bit since it's at a cool place. There will be so many people there it won't matter if we slip out after an hour.
We don't use middle names in my family (and my mom even forgot she gave me one) but I still think it's nice if it flows.
Me: let's talk child rearing for a second H: if it rears up you should run away before it makes contact
^^ I get these "gems" every time I initiate a "serious" conversation. But at least it makes me laugh a little so the convo never gets heated really. I think H might be smart or something.
My random is that I am in the WORST mood today. The summary is: sister caught in a lie again (albeit small and stupid as they are wont to be)- have to punish her and had to stay up til 3am to collect her gadgets when she got home. PLUS, my darling H snores ALL NIGHT even with his sleep mouth guard in, so I didn't fall asleep til close to 5am... Only to be woken up by an email from his effing mother basically blaming me for not being able to have us all congregate together at Christmas (because I want to spend our last childless Christmas Eve/morning together alone.)
I woke up feeling like total shit and ofcourse there was like every sickness under the sun in the daycare I work at this past week so im going to the doctors now. Im not taking any chances or waiting for it to get worse before being seen.
So yesterday I mentioned to my boss that it felt like my LO was pinching me in my rib. She said he might have stuck his fingers in my ribs.....is that really a thing? Because I feel like that doesnt make any sense.
So, I'm just popping in to say that assembling a pack n play, and most other toys for baby, is completely ridiculous. And it needs batteries in 3 different places??
Bought a BOB stroller used today for about 120$ 'ish. Probably overpaid, but it's hard to find anything worthwhile her3, and it's a coworker friend of my husband's that had listed it. I want to try to do the Couch to 5k training again, after baby comes, eventually. So a snap and go stroller is not the best option for that. How do you clean and sanitize a used stroller?
When I got back on Wednesday, I found out that the sea shipment had come in. This included all the stuff I'd previously bought for baby. Was pretty exciting because he'd put almost everything away!! Seriously the best gift ever, that he spent every free night doing (after work) to get it organized, so I wouldn't be stressed by the chaos/disaster.
Finally, my mom is leaving early tomorrow am. Sad to see her go, but she'll be back in March for a couple weeks.
Also, I might be getting sick, since I've had after cough for a day now ... so hoping that that is not the case.

You doc had to have been joking. It's physically impossible to do what she's suggesting
So yesterday was quite possibly the worst day i have had this pregnancy this far :-( I was in so much pain i truly thought that something was wrong. My upper abdomen right under my boobs was hurting so damn bad. At first i thought it might just be gas but as the day went on it got worse. It felt like i was having period cramps times 10 in my upper abdomen. It was the worst when i was sitting down and i was at work and spend prob 80% of the time sitting in my car. I literally was almost crying. I never call my doctors office cuz it's seriously a PITA. You have to talk to reception and explain everything to them then they put a damn note in for the nurse to call you back (good thing it wasn't freaking serious) which took like 45 minutes. Then i got to re explain everything to the nurse which they didn't offer any explanation as to what it might be and just told me to drink water and take Tylenol and lay down and call back after 2 hours of it was still bad. Now I'm not against taking Tylenol at all but i guess in my mind i wanted to make sure it wasn't serious cuz i didn't want the Tylenol to potentially mask it until i found out what it was, i dunno. So i guess it made me feel better cuz if they were not concerned then it was prob ok. She was moving fine still and i checked her on the doppler and her HR was fine and i wasn't bleeding or anything just in A LOT of pain and at that point still had 4 hours left at work. My boss wanted me to go home but I'm still in that "my pregnancy will not effect my work" mentality so i toughed it out and by the end of the night the pain had moved to my lower abdomen. It was so bad even with Tylenol i was almost in tears trying to sit in my car and drive around town. I got home and laid down and woke up this morning and it felt better. I was able to fart a few times last night so maybe it was just EXTREME fucking gas. When i explained it to a friend she swore it was Braxton Hicks but i just don't think so. My stomach wasn't getting hard or anything and it was really painful and i thought BH weren't painful. Who knows. Ok sorry for the longness but today I'm better for now.

@drudolph11 - I'm so sorry you were in so much pain. The same happens to me - it's a balance - I don't want to call the doctor or not work every time I hurt- pregnancy is uncomfortable but I don't want it to interfere with work unless it has to. At the same time, I am nervous to ignore pain - just in case it is a real issue.
I don't have any advice - just that I can commiserate and send you big hugs.

Boss* not doctor. And she said it completely seriously.
Thats what I thought. Im like how the hell does my baby escape the sac to put his fingers in my ribs? Im just gonna smile and nod at my boss. Haha shes also due in march so maybe shes just experiencing pregnancy brain,too (I hope!).
I'm so excited for our company Christmas party next week. I hired a competition BBQ team that won some show on Food Network. Also, I welcome the staff to bring their spouses, girlfriends, kids, parents. We make it a big family affair. I buy special raffle prizes for the little kids and then big raffle prizes for the staff (TV, laptop, gift cards) and to earn a raffle ticket the staff has to sing a song on karaoke. So everyone gets some good laughs. Oh and it's open bar, which I will sadly be missing out on this year (
Today I have a maternity tour at the hospital. Looking forward to seeing the new "birthing suites" they built.
Hope the mommas feeling under the weather get better soon!
I keep having this recurring dream (more like a nightmare) that I have had the babies and forget we have babies and go to work, or out for the day, and come back and they are hungry and diapers so dirty it's all over the place.
@drudolph I'm sorry you were in so much pain! Maybe next time take a tepid bath? That always helps me for abdomen pain and/or gas. (If that's what it is)
We've had a busy morning so far. I just learned that vaping is seriously more complicated than I ever imagined. I think we just stood in the vaping store for half an hour talking over the options.
At least this way my in-laws might kick their cigarette habit.

When D and I switched to vaping, we probably spent an hour picking out our tanks and batteries, testing juice flavors, etc. We walked out of there $250 poorer.

Haha, I hate to laugh, but that's something that would happen to me! We managed to keep it to 100, which isn't outrageous as a gift for two people. I just hope it helps, and that it isn't too complicated for them to figure out.

Yea my SO and i switched and we experienced that the first time. It's not as complicated as it seems lol. Just shit at first lol you know how something seems complicated but once you get the hang of it you end up wondering why people have such a hard time with it lol we just got him a fancy schmancy new one for Christmas and spend around 90$ just for his. Before though he had a cheaper one and was still smoking a lot now with this new one he smokes maybe 4 cigarettes a day (unless he is sneaking them lol) which is amazing for him. They really do help i was doing great with it before i got my BFP they just have to stick with it. If they have been long time smokers i would suggest they not cut out cigarettes totally right at this moment but work down. That what my SO has done and it has really worked for him. Good luck to them!

@ruemorgan@drudolph11 my doctor said it's pretty common in the third trimester; he said it's your muscles being pinched and pushed around because your lungs are having to push out to get air whereas they normally get filled by your diaphragm pulling them down. Mine feels the worst when I'm sitting or lying down, and has definitely gotten pretty bad sometimes.
@chilibeansm0m
I work for a large company and our holiday party is employees only also. It's pretty cheap of them.
I'm a teacher and we get out for Christmas break at 1:30 Friday. Our Christmas party is at the school, at 3:00, and no spouses allowed. Seriously, we want to get the hell out at 1:30, why torture us by making us stay. It isn't required, but it is frowned upon if we don't go.
I'm jealous of you nesters. I have absolutely no desire to clean anything. I also have no desire to decorate for Christmas. The tree is up, thanks to H and it's decorated, thanks to my girls. Other than that, you'd never know it was Christmas here.
Glad I'm not the only one not into decorating this year. Everytime I think about it, I think about having to put all the stuff away that much more pregnant.

I didn't want to decorate since we won't be here for Christmas, but it didn't stop my H from coming home with the biggest damn tree on the lot. [-(
I have to AW my H. We were running errands and he said he had to make one more stop at a shopping complex. I was tired so I just waited in the car. He came out with a bouquet of flowers for me and popcorn so we can have a date night at home tonight. So sweet!!
H is so selfish today. I was gone all day at his moms and then babysitting and he sat playing video games and watching his shows. Whatever, he worked all week and relaxed. Fine. But then I come home almost in tears cause my back hurt so bad and asked for a back rub while he watched his dumb ass show. He didn't sit up, rubbed my back for like 5 minutes and said his hand hurt so I just went upstairs. He just came up here, laid in bed and turned some video game on. I straight up just asked again for a back rub and he "obviously" can't cause both hands are occupied with the controller. He did some weak ass shit with his hand for a minute then got distracted again.
He's never this much of a dick. He'll be getting silent treatment from me until he realizes I'm fucking 7 months pregnant and a back rub or foot rub would be nice. Hell maybe I should just go pay for a massage since he won't do it.
I hate bitching about him but today he needs a swift kick in the ass
Our elective 3d u/s is tmrw morning I realised my friend never confirmed if she could make it so I was checking in with her and she tells me her and her boyfriend will be there...whom I met once....months ago. I shut it down really quick and told her he is not coming. It just amazes me that people think shit like that is okay.

Good thing you said no. That would be weird. Why would he even wanna go to that?
