    @chilibeansm0m‌ I'm jealous of how well you slept! I hope the rest of your day is great :)

    @jennypm‌ That's great that you are getting to spend so much time with your H! Enjoy!

    @citybee I feel you. My 17 month old is throwing more and more fits lately and becoming more whiny. Also more fun and cute, but those days when he is constantly throwing fits are really hard. It works when I walk away from him because it helps me stay sane and I think he realizes that he is on his own with his tantrum.

    @flmama622 Happy Birthday to your little one.

    Morning ladies! 


    @suzyq0525 FX for your glucose test! I hope those jelly beans were yummy flavors. 

    Not much here. I slept well last night. Other then moving from one side to the other throughout the night I didn't have to get up to pee till after 6! It feels like a holiday miracle! 
    I sorted my jelly beans so that I only had the good flavors :p

    They definitely remember me as the lady that got sick all over the waiting room. :blush:

    Sorry if this is a wall of text.

    I'm in the middle of my 3 hour GD test. I have terrible veins so I tried to hydrate this morning - and promptly threw up the water I drank. I almost puked again after I drank the glucola, but somehow I managed to keep it down. 11:30 can't get here soon enough!

    Good luck to everyone else with their tests today!

    @suzyq0525‌ I'm also jealous of your jelly beans alternative.

    @katydid2014‌ I also have an OB who's husband is a ped, and will be going to him with LO once she's born. We don't quite have to worry about circ, but I give you props for doing such great research about it first.

    @happymamax2‌ Just do what you can and don't beat yourself up. Being pregnant makes getting through the holiday to do list that much harder.

    Has anyone else been lurking on the December 2014 board? The birth stories have me excited...and terrified at the same time.

    @katydid2014‌ that's so funny you wrote about circ as soon as I opened the thread cause I came in here to talk about it.

    We had our hospital tour last night and the nurse informed us our OBs do the procedure in the nursery and all they use is sugar water. So now I have a nasty pit in my stomach cause I remember my nursing professor who happens to be an OB at that hospital saying the hospital was in trouble before for not providing enough pain relief during circ but I figured after that they would've gotten it together. Do you know what pain relief they provide in your area?

    From what I searched it seems like the AAP recommends pain relief, at least a topical cream or a shot. All debate aside it seems really messed up to cut into him with no pain relief at all.. I'm just torn. This is a really hard decision for us and when H gets home today we need to talk about it more but he's just as stumped as me. I wish I could just wake up and the decision was made for me and I could rest assured I did the right thing.

    @happymamax2‌ the one I want to use was my pedi growing up and they aren't affiliated with the hospital so they don't come visit baby in the hospital. What we would have to do is have whatever pedi is on call see the baby and then they would transfer any records to our pedi. We also realized that last night too.

    @janda426‌ I wish I would have thought to ask about pain relief for a circ during our hospital tour. I guess I just assumed that they gave them something for pain relief (because that would make sense right?!) Thanks for posting about it...I have some phone calls to make now.

    I'd like to ask some advice from you all please.

    --warning-loss mentioned--

    One of my younger employees (21) told me yesterday that his mom (41) whom I know as an acquaintance due to her son working for me...well she lost her baby. I've been asking how she's doing every few days as she was due to give birth the week of thanksgiving. Sadly the little guy's lungs never developed properly and she lost him yesterday at 9mos + 2weeks.

    I was in tears as he told me what happened. I feel like I should do something for their family. However, I want to remain professional too. Anyone have any advice/suggestions on how I can help their family out? It's just such a sad situation that my heart is breaking for their family and I feel I need to try and help or support in some way.

    Thank you for reading all of this

    @janda426 when my son was circ'd almost 9 years ago, they had a sticky "patch" they put over his penis and surrounding area that was a topical numbing cream (the same cream they offer laser tattoo removal patients, amazingly enough), and after letting that numb the area, they did some injections into the penis with the tiniest needle I've ever seen; and then went ahead with the procedure. I wasn't there for the procedure, my brother went into the nursery with my son when it was done, but he said little man didn't even cry.

    AFM: I decided eff the world today, slept an hour late, had DH take my son to school and came into work an hour late. It was lovely. Today will (hopefully) go fast, and then it's chiropractor in the afternoon, then picking up little man for some shopping, and then home for dinner and snuggles. What am I going to do when my "big" 8 year old doesn't want to snuggle any more? *sniff*

    Yeah I mean I was already on the fence about it and now to hear this.. I just don't know. And it's hard to find reading material that isn't laden with bias. I don't care about anyone's agenda I just want to do right by my son and I can't understand why if there's pain relief options available they wouldn't offer them..

    I'm at the chiropractor before I start moving out of the apartment today and then at 11:00 I have my next prenatal appt. They want to have me start coming every 2 weeks already because of my preterm labor history with my other kids so they can check the length of my cervix, also especially since I've been contracting a lot lately. Although I had my last appt last week they had to schedule it this week because of the holidays. But anyways that's what's going on with me today.

    Everyone have a great day!

    Thanks everyone who encouraged me to call the doctor.  They didn't seem concerned and just said to call back if it gets worse.  So I guess I am just going to have to live with swollen extremeties that feel like they are going to explode for the next 11ish weeks.  So that's cool.

    I love the Friends/Joey quote title of this post :) I have the whole series on DVD but I'm still excited that it's coming to Netflix in January!

    I'm glad to hear that some of you are eating eggs before your glucose tests. Mine is still a few weeks away but that's what I was planning to do too. 

    My baby shower invites went out and the first gift has been purchased!

    I'm tucking away the tantrum advice for a few years from now. I'm glad they start as teeny babies. I need the warm up!

    Good luck with appointments today everyone!!! I got my results back from my 3hr GTT yesterday and everything is fine. Today is my 4 year anniversary! I feel so guilty I didn't get anything for my H. Every year I get him something for the traditional anniversary personalized with our anniversary date and that says "every day I love you more..." This year - I am working from home so I have time to wash my hair so we can hopefully make it out for dinner. I also couldn't fit into my shoes and threw a little tantrum and didn't feel like I got enough sympathy. I'm pathetic.
    We went away for our first anniversary in Sept so I knew we weren't doing gifts.  But I didn't even get a card (and of course he did).  I felt like shit but he didn't care.  I'm sure you guys will still have a great time.

    @hydrangeablue‌ I had scrambled eggs with cheese yesterday before mine and it went smoothly. Obviously still waiting to hear the results but I didn't get lightheaded like I know I would if I didn't eat

    I don't think you're supposed to fast before the 1 hour because it's almost like cheating the test. For the 3 hour you need a baseline glucose level hence the fasting

    I'm at the hospital for day 1 of my Rhogam shot experience lol. I just got bloodwork, it was a student and she actually did really well. She was nervous too I felt bad

    A few randoms from me today. At my first job, the day care, my assistant teacher didnt show up. My ratio is one teacher to 8 kids, ofcourse today is the day all 16 show up. I have no words for this one, trying desperately to wear a happy face. At my second job, I found out that at the holiday party ONE person didnt bring someone a gift for "secret santa." Her excuse? "My present is my *presence.*" ::jaw drops:: ::double take:: ::triple take:: WHAT. THE. FUCK. Im buying a gift for the girl who didnt get anything, I hope I have time in between jobs tonight. How selfish. My last random was that one mom baked me chocolate chip banana bread. Like the biggest loaf ive ever seen. :x :x I will gladly accept love in the form of baked goods.
    Who the fuck does that?

    STMs+ - how do/did you diffuse tantrums throughout the day? DD is going to be 2 in March and I feel like the amount of tantrums/fit/meltdowns she is having a day has, like, tripled. She throws little fits throughout the day at home and now she is starting to have meltdowns when we go to run errands and whatnot. 


    I just don't know what to do sometimes! I don't want to give her things so that she thinks she can throw a fit and then get things, but she is otherwise a brick wall and is generally so loud that she can't hear me anyway and I don't want to yell. Any tips? I know it's typical behavior for a toddler, but man, it can be rough sometimes! She was so sweet and awesome until lately and now I'm kind of panicking over the idea of having a 2 year old and a newborn. Oy.
    I know you didn't ask me, but I have experience with this issue. My daughter is autistic and prone to meltdowns or tantrums even at the age of 9. I'm not sure if it will work for you but the reward system works well for us. The important thing is to follow through with any consequences you tell her she will face. Kids are quick learners and if they figure out that you aren't going to follow through or if your threats are unrealistic, they will rebel and try to "win". We use charts for things like this. For example, if she cleans her room all week then on The weekend she gets to go on a special outing with her brother or myself. It doesn't have to be something monetary, just teaches them that good behavior is rewarded and bad behavior has real consequences. Good luck. I recognize that my ideas aren't necessary "right" or "wrong", few things in parenting are universally successful but this works for us

    So one of our local radio stations does this thing every year called "Breaking & Entering Christmas". Basically they choose one needy family to provide Christmas for and they tell the family's story and you listen while they sneak into the house and put all the gifts in there, then listen as the family comes home to the surprise and you get to hear their reactions. I didn't get to hear it today but my coworker told me the story, and she had me in tears by the end of it. Here is the link to the story/pics - read the letter the family's friend wrote. SO.MANY.FEELS.


    Oh no, you made this ice queen cry! It's rare lol, such a touching story. Imaging that woman dying and just trying to get to her son one last time, it tears my heart right out.

    @suzyq0525‌ seriously, who does that? A handful of employees said they didnt want to participate, she wasnt forced, and people had been tipping her DOUBLE what they normally do so theres no reason she couldnt afford a 10$ gift card to starbucks. I mean common?! Ugh, it makes me so mad.

    @ruemorgan‌ - you are a really sweet and thoughtful lady. I can't believe your coworker was selfish like that - especially since she didn't have to play. What did she do with the gift she got?

    Good luck to all the ladies with appointments & GD tests today.

    I took my cat to the vet last night and he definitely had a hematoma on his ear. They are doing surgery today and I should be able to take him home Friday.

    @coleybug13‌ I'm so sorry to hear about your kitty. I hope he continues to do better & recovers soon. It's so tough when fur babies get sick. I think it's crazy they wanted you to pay so much money up front! I would have been crying too.

    I had a small moment of panic when I got down to double digits. It was like "holy shit... how did that all go by so fast?" followed by excitement, and nervousness. Congrats on being (almost) to double digits!
