Monday Ran(t)doms!

erinnlou · June 2015

So I have this little countdown widget on the home screen of my phone, and today it's at 25 days til due date. Where has the time gone?!

babydoll1008 · June 2015

I have a countdown too! At this point in my pregnancy, I am so ready to give birth! The idea of giving birth (the second time round) scared me but I am so stoked to not be pregnant anymore, my attitude is more like, "bring it on!!"

I fell the same way! This is my second also.

mamacas15 · June 2015

I know... I'm swollen... yep! Thanks for the daily reminder. Oh what does my doctor say? None of your damn business.

Ugh... Is it weekend yet? While I appreciate the concern from my co-workers, it seems like each one has their own opinion and/or diagnosis. I work in a hospital as a Quality Administrator, so I walk around to different departments daily. I know they mean well, but at 34 weeks, I guess I'm just tired of talking about my pregnancy. Or just plain tired.

I am so over not being able to breath and sinuses. Had a headache all day yesterday. I just want my awesome immune system back!

Same. My sinuses are a wreck. I didn't have a good immune system pre-pregnancy, but at least I was able to take all of the good drugs then!

I have tried everything, claritin, zyrtec, sudafed, tylenol allergy, and my Dr recently okay-ed flonase temporarily and even that isnt helping!

It will come soon enough! I remember when mine was in the forties. It seems like it really wasn't that long ago.

Stephb0488 · June 2015

I'm 35 weeks almost 36. I have stopped working since last week. I have been unemployed for one week and half feel like I'm going crazy ! So I'm ready for our little peanut to keep me busy!

schuenk2 · June 2015

24 days! It seems crazy, I still remember whe. I though the baby was huge at the size of an 'Apple' ha. I had no idea. She is currently at battle with my bladder. I can't wait until it doesn't take me 20 minutes to get the car door closed. We are almost there ladies!

itsrandiyo · June 2015

I have pregnancy carpel tunnel due to my swelling, I believe, and its awful! Good bye lucky pregnancy where I could sleep through the night, now i wake up every hour and have to shake out my hand for long time before it stops feeling like pins and needles or is numb. It is honestly the most annoying thing and it doesn't seem like anybody I know has had it happen to them

I was having such a good pregnancy too.........less then 4 weeks to go. I can do this!

crf4 · June 2015

^ had the carpel tunnel last pregnancy, don't wait just get the braces!! They are weird at first to sleep in but help so much, mine lasted almost 6 weeks after my son was born. Seriously the most annoying pain ever is having numb hands.

gotdiesel2007 · June 2015

Woke up starving and annoyed with everything. I think its going to be a great day. . . .

Yes, @itsrandiyo get some nighttime braces... Been using them for the past two weeks and it has helped a ton. Now my bladder just wakes me up! Lol

lovermyboys · June 2015

DS started t-ball today! It was the cutest thing ever! I started swelling this weekend, damn heat! I have been so good so far too! Exactly 3 weeks and we get to meet our LO! I can't wait anymore!

pandd10513 · June 2015

Woke up with acid in the base of my throat and phlegm at the top of my throat. Tried to clear my throat by coughing and almost threw up 4 times. Nose is all stuffed up. Feet are so swollen that the only shoes that fit are an ugly pair of DH's flip flops. Get to work and I feel lightheaded and sick. The teacher I am subbing for left no plans, so I have 12 special ed kids basically just playing games on the computer all day. Exhaustion has set in this morning too. Only 9 more days of school then I can relax until my little gymnast is born.

I have had carpel tunnel for years, and the pregnancy made it worst

physical therapy and braces help a lot though

there are also great exercises that you can do to alleviate the pain

there are some posts on this too you should look at

good luck!

AziaNick · June 2015

Had a busy weekend so today I'm just relaxing and catching up on little things. I think I will make today a pamper day

it's also looking beautiful outside today so hopefully this is a start to a good week

ssnyder016 · June 2015

I just came from my biweekly appointment which I moved to today because I have super nasty Hip pain and my dr confirmed I have scaitica.

ashleytiff · June 2015

I started cleaning the kitchen, got a lot of it done but then I got waaay too hot and had to sit down. I just need to sweep and put all the burners back on the stove when they dry.

Husband cleaned the kitchen yesterday but not the way I do. Hahah.

thatgirlstef · June 2015

I'm sick of my friends. Hahaha I am SO bratty these days, but ugh. I have one who keeps asking if I'm in labor, one who won't shut up with her negativity and horrible advice about my postpartum goals, and one who has disappeared most of my pregnancy but now that it's near the end wants to go out to dinner, shop, etc and I am NOT up for any of that these days and she doesn't get it. Also sick of questions and wide eyes from strangers and how nuts some people come across. Why do people think it's okay to be nosy and rude to pregnant women?!

sarahkonn1 · June 2015

Some lady at the grocery store said I looked "too tiny" to be 36 weeks pregnant and then proceeded to ask me if I eat. Umm excuse me? No I starve myself...what the heck do you think...yes I eat. So sick of random comments from everyone anywhere I go.

Oh my gosh. I would be so mad. I hate how strangers think they're so entitled to say whatever they want to pregnant people.

biaromoy · June 2015

Been getting a break from horrible heartburn as baby is dropping but last night it was so bad it transferred into my dream until I actually woke up haha.

Also, I am so so sick of waking up at 5:30am for a job I am fired from the day I finish (cmon June 19th I wanna finish)

lovermyboys · June 2015

I need to rant. First so I have been have contractions all day, not consistent but all day sitting at the dr. Right now to see what his is all about and as I'm getting ready to leave home I see our stupid neighbor boy just sitting at the end of our driveway. GO HOME! Are we really that intriguing that you must sit and stare at my house for a hour! He just sits on his bike and stares at my house. Everyone tells me just to ignore it but I can't! They bug the shit out of me!! I want to throw rocks at them that is how bad I hate them. Ok rant over and yep I'm a bitch and I wish they would understand that! Leave us alone!

I'm sorry but hahahaha this reminds me of the kid on the tricycle off that movie 'the incredibles'

lovermyboys · June 2015

@biaromoy lmao! It does!! Thank you I really needed something to make me laugh!

hilarym7 · June 2015

@lovermyboys @biaromoy OMG! I seriously was thinking the same exact thing!!!! The whole time I was reading I was thinking of the scene that the dad is angry and says "what are you waiting for??" And the little boy says "IDK! Something amazing I guess" lol

Same here!! My feet are continuously swollen and I have numbness in my hands and toes

Jkp7749 · June 2015

I have (for the most part) loved pregnancy, yes I've wanted it to be over, but I'm so happy to have been able to get pregnant... How ever it has really been a confidence buster... I posted before when my husband jokingly called me a hideous creature... Tonight my belly was poking out of my shirt and he could see the stretch marks on my belly button. He looked at me and just said gross (not joking this time) I can't stand his comments anymore.

beeish · June 2015

DS had his first swim lesson today. It went really well!

fostera0906 · June 2015

Begin rant:
I'm tired of sciatica and constipation, also the urge to pee every 2 minutes or peeing on my self when I sneeze. But I am grateful that we could get pregnant after a year and a half TTC, I enjoy and cherish these little thumps our sweet boy gives me. Makes it all worth it in the end.. Only 4 weeks to go!!!

hilarym7 · June 2015

I am currently staying with my mom until 1 month after baby comes and then me and the father will be moving in together..I'm frustrated because baby is due in 25 days and I haven't been able to do anything to get ready for him..her house is up for sale so we have open houses and showings going on all the time. I am seriously so anal about being organized and it's driving me insane that I can't open any of the boxes (stroller, car seat, crib, pack and play etc.) because we would constantly have to pack it back up for the next showing. I literally have to wait until my water breaks to start setting things up..it's making me craaaaazy!

I have the same feelings for the kid that lives across the street from us. We can't have the garage door open without him walking over and bugging the shit out of.... Mostly me. My husband takes it in stride. He is a natural mentor to boys though. I mean this little shit watches out the window for us to pull into our drive way and before we have our doors open is outside of the car. He is also 12 or 13.... I can't remember.... But not super young. My husband treats him so kindly, almost like he has a disability. I keep reminding him that just because he has a slight speech impediment (poor kids name is Ryan and he can't pronounce his "r's"... No justice in the world) does not mean he isn't intelligent. I am nice to him, but the kid has no sense of social boundaries. Most the time I just want to ask him why the hell he is always at our house. Instead I just leave it to my husband and go inside.

God how I hate other people's children.

mirrenrue · June 2015

@Jkp7749 I'm so sorry that is awful! Very insensitive to say the least, please don't listen to him.

kyrenora · June 2015

This nesting thing is turning me into a crazy person. It also doesn't help that I was out of my OCD Meds for a few days. I spent the entire day on Saturday cleaning the whole house - no naps or anything. I lost track of everything I got done. Yesterday I decided to take a "break," which ended up with me sitting in the recliner and sewing curtains for the nursery all day.

Today I was at my parents' house, so I thought I would take it easy. NOPE! My sister moved out of there on Friday, so I ended up cleaning a ton of stuff anyway. I filled a few boxes with kids' books and stuffed animals from my childhood that were still in good condition. At least I was rewarded with a Wii that my sister decided not to bring with her, as well as a ton of games.

lovermyboys · June 2015

@lindsaypkelly oh I do too! I never did as bad before I had my DS. I think a huge part of it is stupid idiotic parents! Like seriously come and get your kid and teach them! I would NEVER let my DS do something like that. That's when these Children grow up to be idiots just like their parents.

Bkrygg · June 2015

I went downstairs to make a nice dinner...and came up with half of a leftover cake...I'm not sure what happened...
