I think yesterday's spam went well!! Let's keep the ball rollin

DHarpster · January 2015

Well I think this morning I'm going to do more of a rant than anything. I can't get a good night's sleep!! My back hurts, my ribs hurt and my belly skin hurts...I feel like I'm going to explode and when I finally get comfortable enough to fall asleep I'm rudely woken up by heart burn so bad I feel like I need to puke. Agh!!! Being awake isn't much better...I just keep telling myself it's only 2ish more weeks and then the sleepless nights will be me loving my little one.

I'm too lazy to type exactly what she said. All of this. Except for heartburn it's having to pee. And just plain being over pregnancy. I don't want an early baby but I want to be in control of my body again. And I think I'm in debt from buying so much toilet paper

I am right there with you about the sleep. Last night I had BH contractions NON STOP, I drank like over 100 oz of water yesterday so I know I wasn't dehydrated. Every time I woke up my stomach was tight. Plus DH and I had ANOTHER bad fight last night so the stress is piling on. I finally told him if he doesn't go to his command and get help for his anger and depression issues that I will. Sometimes I feel like I'm the ONLY thing holding him together. Long story short we talked with his Sgt this morning and they are gonna get him in some counseling and us in some marriage counseling. After he told me last night he was suicidal I just couldn't let it go anymore. Something had to be done. Sorry for the super dramatic post, I guess I needed to rant also!

winterbabe2015 · January 2015

Had timeable contractions since 11 yesterday morning, but they are 22 minutes apart. I was able to sleep for most of the night but my stomach feels like I have been doing sit ups for days. Called the Dr to make sure they wouldn't want to stop them, they said at 38 weeks we can let her come. Now if they can either get closer and do something or stop I would appreciate it.

tlglass91 · January 2015

@winterbabe2015‌ good luck! I hope things either progress quickly for you or stop until she's ready.

jeanzcarol · January 2015

I know I said my dramatic goodbye to the Bump on another post, but I just read your spam @tlglass91 and I wanted to say that while I don't know the entirety of your situation, I wish you and your man all the best with your soon to be son. I'm not military so that could of course change things for you guys, but living abroad has been REALLY hard on my relationship, and has made this pregnancy much harder than I thought it would ever be. It's scary to feel like you need to take care of your pregnant body, be a safe home for your baby, and keep your family together all the while living in a new country with a new culture away from loved ones. (Not to mention these short, dark German days are BS.) I hope your husband gets the help he needs and you all find some peace and happiness. He's really lucky to have you.

tlglass91 · January 2015

@jeanzcarol‌ wow thanks so much. That was so encouraging to hear

brought a tear to my eye. This has been extremely tough, and it's so nice to have really supportive people behind me. Now I'm sad you're leaving :-(

Hoping you can get some relief from everything going on. We are here for you ;-)

DHarpster · January 2015

@tlglass91‌ I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough night..I'm glad you guys are going to get some help though. My SO also suffers from depression and he was once in the military so I know how difficult it can be. Hang in there!

@winterbabe2015‌ hope you are able to get some relief soon! Either the contractions stop or you have a healthy happy baby soon!

tlglass91 · January 2015

@DHarpster‌ thanks! I'm just hoping he can get the help he needs. Everyday military life can be tough and it breaks my heart to see him like this.

DHarpster · January 2015

@jeanzcarol‌ sorry to hear that your leaving...I know the drive by posts and silly questions are getting out of control, so I understand. I hope the best for you and your baby

I'm sorry to hear this @tlglass91. My husband is military too and struggled a bit with depression after his father died. I know it's not the same as being suicidal, but the counseling really did help him out. I'm sending thoughts and prayers your way that everything works out!

DHarpster · January 2015

@tlglass91‌ I understand completely. It's already a win that he has agreed to get help. Mine is pretty stubborn about counciling. You seem like a very caring and supportive wife so I'm sure everything will be fine

Keep your head up and remember how much just being there actually helps.

marblesparade · January 2015

@tlglass91‌ I also want to send you some kind words. My husband is in the military. And although he is fine now, especially after his deployment last year, I know the difficulties of anger issues. It's hard for us to deal with, and even harder for them. You did the right thing and you are so much stronger than you know. Some hear marriage counseling and think the worst. When in reality it's just another knot in the rope to help you climb to the top. Wishing you well, get rest, stay calm, and get excited cause baby is almost here

Thanks ladies :-)

kdhuling · January 2015

So I just found out Wednesday little man is frank breech. I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. I really want to try acupuncture and chiropractics to help him turn as soon as possible buttttt my doctor hasn't even called me to discuss the results and what her thoughts are on it. I want her ok to start anything like that. I checked in yesterday and they hadn't received the report yet from the imaging center. I hate this hurry up and wait stuff. I've been hanging out upside down for the better part of the last few days and nothing.

tropicbreeze · January 2015

@tlglass91‌ I really hope things get better for your DH!

tlglass91 · January 2015

Thanks! @maasybaby‌ and i would die without a dryer. I know that's so typical American of me but I can't help it. When you hang stuff out to dry it gets crunchy! Who wants crunchy clothes?!

sarabethmack · January 2015

I had a false alarm this morning at 4 a.m. and did my first trial run to the hospital after the nurses on the phone said to come in. While my doctor was in the room checking me for dilation, I'm pretty sure the woman in the next room was being mauled by a lion. Suddenly my tiny fear of labor has unexpectedly turned into a very significant one. Now I'm trying to find ways to deal until LO arrives. Eyes on the prize!

winterbabe2015 · January 2015

Contractions are a bit stronger and 19 minutes apart now, we're in for a long ride I think.

HayleyBug55 · January 2015

We just had a sheriff leave the house. Our dogs attacked the neighbors donkey and was eating it alive. They had to put it down and I cried like a baby for that poor donkey. Our dogs have never been vicious but the sheriff said when they get in packs they can hunt and become vicious

. There's no denying they did it. Animal control comes out Monday to determine if our dogs are safe to keep or put down. My fiance is going to be so heart broken when I tell him and especially if his babies have to be taken away. Our dogs are so sweet and have never hurt anyone but we can't have them killing the neighbors livestock.

We have horses and dogs. I would have my dogs put down in an instant if they attacked my horse. Not that I don't love my dogs but if they are so aggressive as to attack an 1,800 lb animal then there is a chance they will attack a child. Not worth the risk in my opinion.

They've never attacked a human. Sweet and loving. And I've personally never seen them mess with the donkeys. They have blood on their snout but I just discovered the donkey carcass is still down there so that could be where it came from. I'm starting to wonder if our dogs really did it or if I coyote got a hold of it. If our dogs did , in fact, do it then something definitely needs to be done. They can't keep losing livestock and I'd hate for our dogs to be the reason. If animal control says they have to go on Monday then they have to go.

cndupree15 · January 2015

@kdhuling‌ I had to google what frank breech was because I thought it was a typo and I didn't want to seem like an idiot for asking what that meant. My daughter was breech(they didn't tell what kind of breech) when I was pregnant with her until the day I went into labor. Hopefully yours will turn.

kdhuling · January 2015

Yeah when the tech told me I had to ask her to explain too. I didn't realize there were different types. It's good to hear a positive stories. I've been pretty bummed I might need a c-section.

I won't blow smoke up your ass-- sorry I've always wanted to say that and right now seemed like the best time.
It's a possibility. I've heard of methods the Drs can do. Something about trying to help them turn but I personally have no experience with it. It seemed painful to me. I went in to my induction obviously thinking I would have a c section. My dr wanted a ultrasound so he could know her exact positioning and low and behold she had turned. Obviously I know that won't be the case every time but don't get down in the dumps thinking you have to get a c section when you still have 3 weeks left. So much can happen either way.

kdhuling · January 2015

Good use of the smoke up the ass comment! I know a lot can happen so I'm trying to stay positive. I've just been hanging out upside down on and off the last days.

Great Commercial. Sorry if this has already been posted.

mishka29 · January 2015

@tlglass91‌ I'm sorry you are dealing with that but I'm glad that you were able to convince him to seek help.

sarabethmack how's it going now? Did everything go back down to normal? As for the lady being mauled by lions (lol) Iiiiiii'm just gonna blank that out! I suggest you do the same! We'll have to go through it regardless right? :-S

@maasybaby Yes, everything is fine - thank you! Over the phone the nurse couldn't tell if I was in labor or if I had a kidney stone. It turned out to be neither, and the doctor scratched his head at what could have caused the pain. My LO thrashes around a lot so I'll chalk it up to some sort of crazy pinched nerve, and I just have to remember that it's better that I went in and had it checked than to have something go wrong and not. I also got my first official dilation/effacement check which put me at ease as well. All good stuff! And yes, we'll all block it out hahaha.

Crap, so sorry to hear about that. In the end, (if they did do it) I think you're handling this more better than I would! Animals are animals and sometimes their instincts will get the better of them when it comes to hunting instincts. I really hope the assessment comes back positive and that there's a solution to all this. Will be keeping my fingers crossed.

@maasybaby‌ yup. At the end of the day they are animals with wild instincts. I told them I'd be more than happy to give them money for another mule and I apologized profusely. But we live in the middle of nowhere and I'm really debating if it was our dogs or a cayote. If animal control says we can keep them I'll get out in the yard myself and put up a fence covering a huge area for them. Those are my SO's babies. Thank you for hoping for a positive outcome and yes I'm handling it good only because I know he won't when I tell him. I'll let him have the angry meltdown.

I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope it ends up not being your dogs fault. Could the donkey have provoked it somehow? I would be absolutely heart broken if my dogs were accused of such things but I know it happens.

I've seen other dogs chase them and then I've seen the donkeys chase the dogs. I've never seen my dogs down there but who knows? We are way out in the country and I honestly think maybe a wild animal fot a hold of them. I don't see how 2 untrained dogs took down a giant donkey. When I had hog dogs and did hog hunting it usually took 3 dogs to take a good sized hog down. I'm skeptical but I can't change anything if they want to euthanize them.

lelly0086 · January 2015

@haleybug55 so sorry to hear about your dogs! We live in a rural community too and the neighbors Great Danes are always after our chickens but to people they are the sweetest dogs in the world. I really hope for your SO that they don't get put down.

For all you ladies suffering labor pains I feel for you, and hope you can find some relief over the next few weeks!

For me, I've been MIA. Caring for my newborn has been completely time consuming. Between nursing and pumping and changing diapers I don't find much free time for anything else. It's great though, I love this little munchkin sooooo much. He's a week old today.
