What. The. Actual. F@&$! I'm finally through my morning sickness at 14 and 3, but suddenly I look down at my ever growing breasts and what do I see? A vein. Not just a little vein, or something that might be mildly embarrassing when I'm bare chested but could be covered up with clothes... No. This is the mother of all veins and it goes from the bottom my collar bone/sternum area to my nipple (which also looks like it has seen some shit, but it hasn't as I'm a ftm). It looks like I took a blue sharpie and drew a big fat line on my chest and tit, then had some sort of horrid allergic reaction as it is swollen and you can actually feel it. Sighhhh. So much for trying to stay sexy for DH during this adventure. Eyes on the prize and good god I hope this goes away.
Ugh, so sorry! It will be sweater season soon.
I wish that were true, but I live in Southern California, so I honestly don't remember the last time I wore a sweater. That being said, it has rained the last 2 days (yay!!!!) so I was able to wear a rain jacket! I'll take what I can get but something tells me I'm either going to have to rock this vein and get over it or be miserable.
I am so tired and sick. I can't seem to focus on working. I am starving but can't eat anything. My girls are making my house a complete mess and I can't get up to lift a finger.
Middle of summer with no AC. I sleep so miserably when my house is 80+ degrees. I can't wait for winter.
Dude - How?! HOW?!
for some reason they think that if you live in the PNW you don't need AC because we don't get that many hot day... i don't care how often we have hot days. we have them, and thats enough to need ac to me...

Screw whoever "they" is - I'd have a(n? grammar is weird) unit in my bedroom window ASAP. I can't even imagine sleeping without an AC right now and I'm in New England - that's kind of the same latitude.
I guess I'm a diva, though. If it's more than 75 degrees in my room, sleep is next to impossible. C'mon fall - favorite sleeping weather.
most of the homes don't have central AC here, and if they do, its usually because the person that lives there paid to have it installed. my house is 74 right now and thats with the lights off. its also only 70 outside so I'm not sure how that works. I'm a diva too. i like being cold when i sleep. even in the winter my bedroom window is open and my fan is on. the heater is almost never on. so when i wake up it might be 60 degrees in my house. oops. lol. i live for winter.
@babybluu I am DEFINITELY a winter loving woman. We don't have central air - we use window units. Even a little window unit would make a difference in your bedroom. Some people are not built for heat.
74 inside?! hot damn - I would ditch the house and be in a kiddie pool under a shadey tree. I don't keep my window open alllll winter but as soon as it's like March that bad boy is open at night.
well the housing we live in doesn't allow window units because it runs up the electricity for the whole unit of townhouse (we don't pay for electricity). otherwise i would be all over that!! @karaepp16

I had the exact same thing on both sides. It looked like I had a Cupid's bow on my sternum with the ends wrapping in full circles around my nipples. And I'm just about as pale as an albino ghost so I feel you on the wanting to wear a sweater. Just keep telling myself, it means good blood flow to baby, good blood flow to baby, good blood flow to baby...
I live in monterey, CA and you won't find air conditioning in homes here either. It never gets much hotter than 70, except for freak days like today where it's 79 out and I'm FUCKING DYING.
So it's DH.. I've always tried watching how snappy I get when I'm sick because DH has mentioned I get mean, when he's only trying to help. Today it's currently about 91 where I live in Texas. I have the shades all closed. Lights off, AC running. DH comes home from lunch with a headache. He takes pills for his head. He drank a soda. He drank a water. He ate food. But he snapped at me, and it really made me upset. I've been feeling awful for 15 weeks. He gets "sick" for one day, and he acts like he's had it worse. I'm still expected to do household chores and have dinner ready, but when he's sick I have to get his food and make sure he drinks water. I have to make sure he's ok when he runs to the bathroom to be sick. Like what the hell.
I'm in Seattle and NO ONE has AC, except for some freakish reason the house DH and I bought last year magically had it when we moved in! I hate the saying "I feel blessed" but this summer I do actually feel blessed, because we've had more days over 80 (or 90) than we probably had in the last six summers combined. It's so hot, I don't even go outside.

goodness i was just in seattle on friday and was DYING !! it was so hot! I live on an island a couple hours north and it isn't as hot here as it is in seattle. i would be absolutely dead if i lived on the mainland with no AC. dead.
@babybluu Which island? My grandparents grew up on the San Juans and retired in The south sound on Anderson Island I bet it's been such a pretty summer on the water! And technically I'm from Bothell, but close enough, it's still hot as balls outside
My back is hurting so bad ( It feels like my tailbone is going to break off . I didn't fall or anything lately. I have old injuries that are flaring up so bad the last few days. A heating pad helps but it's so f$&@ing hot out I can't do it.

We actually took our announcement pics at bothell landing on Friday! We live on whidbey.
Found out this weekend that my deadbeat dad found out a month ago I was pregnant and still hasn't called me. Not that I expected him to, I'm a "sex disappointment" baby. My parents had 2 girls and tried a 3rd time for a boy and got me instead. My mom is an angel but my dad has alway been a monster.
I don't know why I'm surprised.
I'm so sorry. This is why the "gender (sex!!) Disappointment" posts always make me sad.

Thank you, Ive learned to just not comment on them. I always start writing a post that would probably get me a warning and then I back away slowly and go eat some cake instead.
ETA: I actually just commented on the most recent one, but not with regard to the OP lol.

I ran the Whidbey Half Marathon! Windjammer park was no joke! My friend lived out there at the time (military) but no longer does. It's beautiful. I love the PNW but am a Midwesterner.
My sister in law wants me to have a girl to play with her daughter and I'm having a boy. She knows this. It's always an awkward conversation and it's beginning to creep me out how invested others are in the sex of my baby.
Sigh... This thread made me happy. Sometimes the people around me just don't get it, so it's nice to know that other people get pissed off at random (completely justified) things. Ditto with the way young women/girls dress. It's made me scared for years to raise a girl. I find out in a few weeks...

My goal was to run the whidbey half marathon in 2016 but I don't think I'll have enough time to train after baby is born but I'm still gonna try. There's also the Ragnar that I wanna do next year as well! I love to run

Just my opinion but depending on how you raise your daughter this ^^^^ could be a total non-issue. We are not religious at all, I just find dressing like that to be distasteful.
So I left for work at 5:50 am like I typically do yesterday morning. I love about 50 minutes from work. I get about 15 minutes down the highway and traffic is stopped. Dead stopped. I moved about half a mile in an hour and then they started turning people around. The highway was closed. I ended up stopping at a gas station and got some coffee and found some people to chat with and we waited for about two hours. Traffic never moved. So I took a back way home. Got lunch and drove around the mountain, it took me a total of two hours to get to work. Instead of working my 7am-3pm shift I worked 1-9pm. It was completely exhausting. Turns out a tractor transporting live chickens flipped and caught on fire and live chickens were running all over the road. Which I find hilarious, judge me go ahead! Oh my dishwasher also broke and my husband being the wonderful super man he is washed all the dishes by hand after fighting that traffic himself. Lol first world problems
@KaraEpp16 I know! I can hear them clucking in my head and running al crazy lol. I really wish I had seen it! It might have made the 6 hour traffic jam a little less painful lol

DH and I used to live in Edmonds but moved to MA for his work last year.
