Re: Wednesday Randoms
That sounds like a fun kind of thing to go to!
@britb618
The birthday was pretty relaxing, we had his 'big' party this weekend (my in laws were in town so we got to celebrate with family). I made Mickey cupcakes for his class and we had a lot of fun
I'm sore, but pretty good otherwise. Biggest mind fuck is the black bruises on my tummy. They make me cry every time.
And that really sucks they can't see you until Jan 5!
They turned out pretty well! They looked very DIY and that means they were made with extra love, right? I ended up making 50 and taking 37 to school for all the teachers and his class. Of course we had to taste test a few, and The remainder are sitting on the counter waiting to be devoured (DH prefers no icing so I leave them naked)
I know this belongs in a TMI thread but bare with me
I threw up so violently this morning that it splashed back. In my eye. I'm officially traumatized for life.
This is really weird but my inner thighs are red and chapped. I definitely have not been doing a lot of running/walking/waddling or any other activities that would cause abrasion in the area. Thinking maybe the thick fleece sheets I put on my bed are making me get too hot and sweat at night when I'm lying on my side with my legs together? I'm afraid it's going to be sore to walk if it gets much worse.
Soon to be ex is taking the boys overnight to his mom's house this Friday to have Christmas with his family. It will be the first time. It's going to be rough. They have stayed overnight at grandma's house before, of course, and love their grandma, but neither have been sleeping well for the last month. They take forever to settle down and are both back in my bed before morning comes every night lately. I hope they do okay, especially my 2 year old.
My good thing of the day yesterday happened at preschool drop off. My aunt handed me a folded up piece of paper and when I opened it up, my cousin's daughter had spent a whole afternoon this weekend thinking up baby girl names for me. It was so cute! With everything going on, I am having a hard time being excited and looking forward to having an outside baby. It makes me feel good to know how excited she is.
That sounds rough -- about your soon to be ex getting the kids for Christmas. Lots of hugs!
Your cousins list of baby names sounds cute! Did she have some good ones on there?
I've gotta pee, but baby is moving around and I love feeling him, and I know once I move he'll stop.
I really need to finish my Christmas shopping. Maybe I'll find time today.
Oh, and I don't want to go to work today! It's overrated...
Today is officially my last day of work. I just have to turn in my final grades and then I'm finished! I'm planning to bake tomorrow after my OB appointment, so maybe I'll do my grocery shopping today. I feel like I still have a lot to do before our guests start arriving for the holidays on Friday
Only have to make it through a half day at work, since my next appointment is this afternoon. I wonder if the OB will check for dilation this time. I kind of like that she hasn't so far. It doesn't really seem to matter much anyway, the baby will come when she comes, right?
Getting my Christmas cards today. Debating whether I should make cookies to mail to people in lieu of a nicer gift, since we blew all our $$ on baby stuff. Hmm.
It's day two of exams which means day two of "I didn't know this test was today" and "I forgot my note page" and "I didn't bring a pencil." [-( Just a few more days...just a few more days...

My son found this little mouse toy at the store and he was so cute with it. I couldn't help myself so I bought it for him. DH is annoyed with me. He thinks I buy him every single thing, but he doesn't realize how much I would actually buy if I could.
Dec '12 & Jan '15
With as low as my LO is right now I'm super surprised I'm not getting cervix headbutts like a lot of you other ladies. Instead, I feel like her head is pushing on my backdoor region. It's so uncomfortable. I constantly feel like I need to poo, but when I really need to I can't poo until I can get her to move her head a little. As awful as it feels, I'd rather deal with what I have than baby headbutts to the cervix. Because "Ow!" and "No thanks" and @CrazyMonkeyBear 's "nope, nope, nope" GIF.
My random for this Wednesday...I walked out of the house yesterday to rain and thunder. Walked out today to snow on my car. WTF weather? Pick a season and stick to it.
Contractions are kicking my ass last night and this morning. They are stupid and I hate them.

@Bookitboo I am glad you are okay! I can imagine you are very sore today, so take it easy!
I have my company Christmas party this weekend, which is this fancy deal at a country club, but I really don't want to wear a dress and tights and real shoes. And, it sucks that I will not be able to partake of the open bar this year.
I helped out around the house too much yesterday and I'm paying for it today. We got our floors redone and I moved and restacked all the old flooring so DH wouldn't have to do it when he got off work.
We are going to pick out out tree today. I'm really excited, we usually have it up the day after Thanksgiving but had to hold off this year. I'm hoping it will help put me in the Holiday spirit.
I'm still fuming, freaking out about my IL's surprise visit for Christmas. I really owe my SIL big time for telling me.
**Previous Loss mentioned**
Today is a sad day for me...it would have been the day my little one was born via csection had I not lost him/her this past Spring. I was not very far along, but to this day it is still hard to deal with and I still think about him/her all the time.
Dont get me wrong at all, I am beyond thankful to be pregnant again with my rainbow baby! He is truly the light at the end of the tunnel for me.
Hopefully I am not in the wrong posting this in the daily spam post - if i am please let me know and I will erase it.
DH will be on vacation starting Friday for 2 weeks. While it's nice to have him home for xmas, I hate that his vacation days expire at the end of the year. I really wish he could roll them over and use them in january when I actually need him home!
*hugs*
It's perfectly understandable to be upset and blue over the loss of your spring baby even while you're grateful for your current pregnancy. And it's never 'too early' to feel a loss of a baby, no matter how far along you were when you had a miscarriage.
I think it might be helpful if you could do something to celebrate your spring baby, like light a candle. If you do a Christmas tree maybe even a Christmas ornament -- we have a clear ornament with a feather inside to represent all of the angels in our lives. Lots of hugs honey

They plan on showing up Christmas Eve and "staying a while". My MIL told me they would be coming out at the end of January but told my SIL they were gonna surprise us by coming a month early. I feel like I have no control over anything right now and it's making me crazy.
I had one loss a month before I got pregnant with DS and another a few months before I got pregnant with this one. On the one hand, I know if those pregnancies had gone full-term, I wouldn't have DS or this baby, but the losses are still so hard, and I don't know if I'll ever have a complete understanding of why it happened or complete feeling that I've gotten over it.
Best wishes for a happy and healthy baby and the remainder of your pregnancy / L&D. Hugs.
