    I guilt tripped DH into doing my chores as well as his last night. All because I just wanted to sleep. And now I'm feeling depressed about the whole thing!

    The nesting "itch" hit me at 10:30 last night when I decided I hated out bathroom shower curtain and ripped it off... before buying a new one. I then started crying because I felt like nothing was ready. By midnight, my fiance caved and put our crib together while I was showering. He surprised me by saying "Babe, look where Cooper got stuck!" I guess I'll keep him. ;)

    That made me laugh. I have done that before. My so and i used to just have a clear one because we couldn't agree (this was what led me to stop asking for his input), and one day, while pregnant i walked in the bathroom and was so angry because it was just a liner and it was dirty, so i just ripped it down. Then i went shopping all alone the next day.

    I'm glad you got your crib out together! It's the little things.

    @MamaOwl15 i feel your pain. I'm staying home because we can't afford for both of us to work but I'm really hoping his restaurant offers me something part time after the baby comes and season starts. I love working. I mean, i totally enjoy my kids but i can't sah full time and it's not like we can just do fun stuff, because we have to budget everything. My SO will be on salary come October and promises me that the GM is looking for a good spot to place me. I have tons of restaurant experience and love working in customer service so I'm hopeful we can make it work. We might just have to move a little farther from the job and closer to family but it would be worth it.

    I'm putting off cleaning. I need to do laundry or I will have to go to the movies on Sunday naked. I have been battling my ribs this week, I found out they can go out of alignment.

    I'm starting to feel like something is wrong with me!  Besides ice cream I have no other cravings!  I only want that because it feels good going down my throat when I have heartburn!  I was at Target the other day and thought....I want something chocolate.  I stood and stared at everything down the candy isle....and walked away with nothing!  What is wrong!?!

    I slept until 10:30 this morning. It's now just after 11, and I'm still in bed next to my sleeping husband. We're lazy lately. #sorrynotsorry.

    Edited to add: I really want spaghetti-os right now... o.O Weird.

    I am SO. FREAKING. HUNGRY. I cannot stop eating. And I am eating nothing but healthy foods while craving a chocolate croissant. I know damn well I won't feel satisfied until I get one either, even though I know I am going on a baking frenzy tomorrow. Salmon and vegetables just won't cut my chocolate craving.

    Yesterday I spent the morning cleaning the house. So, to treat myself I bought some new clothes and treated myself and my sister to frozen yogurt and pedicures. It was fantastic. I have zero regrets.

    Chocolate ice cream! Problem solved :) 

    But seriously, I know what you mean. I cried the other day because I wanted salsa so badly but I knew it would give me heartburn. Poor DH looked so confused as to what to do.

    I just had a gigantic egg salad sandwich, an almond croissant and a large iced mocha after my 3 hour GD test and I'm hungry AGAIN and now I'm seriously contemplating another meal.

    I love my son and being a mom, I just need a break sometimes. But I worked full-time the first year of his life, so I don't really want to work full-time. Just one day a week maybe.

    I haven't been excited to decorate the nursery at all. I haven't even bought a dresser. The crib is set up, I've got the glider and ottoman and just one picture on the wall. I have no motivation to do it because he's going to be in my room for a while and I don't see the rush. I've been feeling more stressed than excited lately and then I feel guilty for not being so excited. I HAVE ALL THE FEELS!!! :((

    I was perusing the Pregnant Husband and I came along this and I hope it at least will make you laugh.

    And I totally have all the feels as well. I got really pissed and upset this morning when I couldn't find my headphones and the prospect of 3 hours at the doctor's office make me very angry. Thankfully my amazing husband found them (in the cat toy bowl of all places...) and brought them to me at the doctor's office. So I didn't go completely insane.

    I haven't taken a shower or changed out of my pajamas yet. And my two year old is wearing a diaper but nothing else. The last several days have been pretty busy so I thought we could use a break since we're not leaving the apartment today.

    The nesting itch hit me two days ago. I went through all of mine and husband's clothes and got a pile to donate and piled them in laundry baskets.

    I came home yesterday afternoon and found the baskets empty. He had done laundry and put all of the clothes away....I started to look back in our closets for them and then was like f*** it and went and sat on the couch!

    A post on another thread about wanting to punch an uncle who suffered a stroke and isn't able to choose words easily really did not sit well with me.  So he called you fat?  I'm pretty sure he should get a pass. I don't know the details, but I was very surprised by the poster's reaction.

    @SweetnSassy23 I was shocked by that too!

    @SweetnSassy23 he actually is not the nicest person even prior to having the stroke. I am venting and I absolutely do not condone being mean to people who have serious ailments. But I know this person and I know the person they where prior. So I feel I have the right to complain. I'm sorry if I offended you or anyone else. I tend to be very blunt at times and use this as a tool to vent. Please no hard feelings.

I thought I wouldn't be dealing with this much booger action until Lil man was older! YES!!! I am so glad it isn't just me. I wake up unable to breath out my nose due to the hardened boogers.
    Then I guess my confession is     sometimes the best way to get those hardened boogers out is to go in with my finger. There just isn't always enough to use saline and a tissue nor can I just use the tissue as they are hardened.

    I totally stopped for Chick-Fil-A after mine...I figure if I don't know if I have GD yet then I'm going to eat reasonably but still allow myself to indulge until I know for sure.

    Gotcha. As I said I was surprised. Sounds like there is some history there.  I appreciate that you can at least recognize his struggle, even if you don't care for him as a person.  Be the bigger person and show him kindness he was unable to extend to you (without being a doormat). You probably won't be sorry.

    @sweetnsassy23 I truly would never say that to his face which is why I chose to say it on here. I cannot be mean to him at all. But in the back of my mind I want to punch him yes .. He takes advantage of my grandmother who does everything for him. He makes her feel bad and guilts her into doing things for him. I was a nursing assistant and worked in a subacute rehab floor. I seen what stroke victims go through. Unfortunately I know too much about this particular victim and have a hard time feeling sorry. Truth.

    I have absolutely no desire to work (I love my job... usually), I have no desire to clean the house (I normally clean my house religiously once a week and right now, it's a mess), and I have no desire to do anything but lie in bed, read, watch movies, and snuggle with my dog. This is partly my issues with depression at play, but mostly... I'm just really, really tired. 

    This is me. Its 12:50 and im still in bed snuggling my dog. I should be cleaning, but i just cant work up the motivation to do so knowing that if i wait a while I'll have DH to help me out with it (which is completely unfair because he works and i dont. I normally take care of the house). Depression has been rearing its ugly head lately and i know it, im just not ready to admit it anywhere but here. I dont want to go through it again. Denial while knowing im in denial, i guess?

    I want craving bagels yestersay, so after work I stopped at Walmart and decided on blueberry bagels (I told myself oh blueberry is healthier than plain because fruit!!) Ate one for breakfast this morning AMAZINGGGG. Still not full.. just ate one of those little Debbie brownies with the rainbow sprinkle things on them. Can't get rid of this sweet tooth!

    I have mentally checked out of work already, yet my last day is not until October 9th. I've been here all day and have maybe done an hour of work... total.

    @elmann1, you aren't alone in that struggle :) Even though I'm at home right now, I have a toddler whose time I am soaking up before I head back to work ~70 hours a week plus grad school at the end of August. That means DD and I are fitting in as much as we can every single day!! I know I won't feel better and it doesn't get easier as pregnancy goes on, so I am super tired and super busy. No PJs or sleeping in for this woman! :)
