    My mil is being pushy about doing something on Easter Sunday. My husband said that we tentatively are saying yes because it's so close to my due date that we can't promise to be there. Plus, we don't really want to go all the way to her house that day. My sil offered her house and said that I shouldn't be traveling that weekend (she is a nurse). She is right down the street which is a better option and offered to turn it into brunch. (This is all going on via email). My husband responds to that and says he would much rather it be held at sil and bil's house because he does not want to bring me too far from our house/hospital and again we can only tentatively say we will be there. Well, my mil who is clearly annoyed at this point, says that she would like to be included in the plans for this, takes over the whole menu and then assigns everyone a dish to make including me! She also adds that bringing my husband's aunt to our side of town would probably be too much for her and then adds a passive aggressive comment about how it should be over here because it's better for me.

    My stepdad (who I'm not fond of) tried to give me advice on my maternity leave yesterday. He told me that I should stop working now, even though I'm due 4/2 and for the most part I feel really good. He doesn't understand the laws that accompany maternity leave, the fact that I don't have sick or personal time, or how it would effect my income. He also tried to tell me that my husband needs to take off for two full weeks after Baby arrives so that he can help me. Our plan is for him to take off one week and then have him work from home the next. Apparently that's not good enough though.
    I'm so sick of people telling me how to handle my life after Baby comes.

    I'm due April 6th and agreed to work up until April 1st unless baby girl comes early and I'm a studio photographer and sales associate it is very busy on the weekends and if I do have to work I usually end up not getting a break because of being so busy and my boss does not have me on the schedule because basically I am unreliable as my due date approaches fine by me and if I am needed she will call about the day before and ask well she decided yesterday on a Sunday to demand that I go into work at 3pm when studio closes at 5pm and I have a 20 minute drive there and back home I usually would go in without a problem just to have a pay check right before baby gets here but I'm on partial bed rest due to my cyst I had drained on Fri and she basically flipped out on me because I said I couldn't go in which means she had to go in I just don't understand how it makes sense to rely on a woman who is 9 months pregnant last minute it doesn't make sense to me it makes sense to have me on the schedule and someone else add back up just in case I'm unable to make it but why rely on me when I'm the pregnant one ugh

    My mom is coming into town this weekend for my baby shower. While I am happy to see her I am not looking forward to the constant competition between my mom and MIL. My mom is insanely jealous of my MIL and always makes a scene to try and be better than her since I am very close to her (and it's completely unnecessary since my MIL doesn't do anything to provoke it).

    Yup, it's Monday.. I'm scheduled for my c-section this friday (3/27) and still at work. Didn't take anytime off this week, stupid me. My house is not yet cleaned to my standards, i think my mother is purposely doing things to annoy me and.. it's not Friday yet.,.. That's my biggest issue

    I'm back at work for the first time in a week and so freaking nauseous. A lot of guests who told us they'd be at the shower are suddenly saying they're not sure (but I still get cupcakes so I guess I don't care that much). My sister is actively ignoring my calls (yes I did call her out on it). And I've got the beginnings of a nasty migraine. The good part is that I go in for my 3d ultrasound tomorrow and will get to see my LO for the first time in 15 weeks.

    I stay home during the week and my friends rely on me for last minute babysitting. Which is fine because about half of them also babysit for me. Fair trade. But I have one friend who needs very last minute babysitting constantly. Who I also never talk to unless she needs a sitter. My SO wants me to start charging her since he is paying for her childs meals and he is pissed she is using me. Im getting aggrivated.

    Running out of Walmart brand tums so went ahead and bought some more. They have the same packaging but taste AWFUL and do not taste like the ones I bought a few months ago which taste like candy. :-S

    I wish tums would help, I'm stuck between unrelenting heartburn or recurring nausea.

    @Catladee have you tried Zantac for the heartburn? I started using it 2 weeks ago and it's a miracle worker. I still take my tums at night when it starts to wear off

    I've been fighting a nasty head cold for coming up on 4 weeks now. Went to the clinic over the weekend and was told it's likely viral bronchitis for which there's nothing they can do. I hack my brains out all night so I haven't had decent nights sleep for like 2 weeks. Pretty sure my daycare kids keep bringing new crap to infect me. Kind of wish I could just be done now and bunker down in our house for the next 4 weeks and keep all their grubby, germy bodies away from me so I can attempt to feel better before baby comes!

    On a positive note, hubby has been nesting and getting lots of random projects done and I've enjoyed watching that happen! Love seeing him get excited about baby's arrival! Just wish I felt better/had more motivation after my 10 hour work day to do more stuff around the house with him. Hang in there gals! You're all super amazing!

    EDIT for my fat-thumbed spelling errors

    Our due date is April 7th, but we're thinking he might come this week when there are some fun days he could come on. Today would be divisible by 3's (3-30-15), Wednesday April Fool's, Friday is my birthday, and then of course Easter Sunday. Though he will probably decide to be stubborn and go over the due date when all the fun, nerdy days are over! :)

    I'm almost 36 weeks but feel like I'm 45 weeks pregnant.. I'm sore and feeling sick all the time. I have a 15 yo 12 yo and a 2 yo whom all seem to be going through the terrible two's all together. They are crazy!!. I cried 3 times yesterday watching a movie which exausted me but I was so restless, I couldn't nap. I'm tired of getting up for work, commuting to work almost two hours there and 2 and half hours home. Dropping kids off in seperate places on the way to and from work. Not seeing my hubby 3 days a week because our schedules are off set. I AM DONE! ::exhales::

    Only 3 people came to my baby shower. Not even the hostess showed up(she was still sick) so we ended up buying the food ourselves last minute. But then she had the audacity to recommend on the public Facebook event ( to all the guests) that she thinks rescheduling would be more appropriate- after the event had already taken place. And that's after texting us and telling her it's not feasible to reschedule since we have concrete plans the next 2 weekends. So she made us out to be the bad guys to all our family and friends even though we gave guests 6 weeks notice and we couldn't control people getting sick and being flaky.

    Disclaimer: She's a friend of DH and got all upset a couple months ago when I announced the date of my shower down home that my sisters are throwing and she posted to Facebook that she was extremely upset about it since she thought she was hosting. I publicly apologized and cleared up the confusion and reminded her that I'm not from here and that it's a second shower for down home. Also texted and private messaged more apologies for the confusion but she wouldn't speak to us for a month. I'm just really pissed off at her trying to make me seem like a bad person to my family and friends.

    Ohhh I would have been pissed with her suggesting I host it at my place. 1-if you wanted people over you'd have offered to host by now 2- this late in the game the last thing you want is a house full of people.
