I bought a rock and play today even though I was waiting for a grandparent to get us it off our list. (But it was only $26 on clearance at target!!)
I spent $35 on cold remedy stuff and different kinds of water to keep my hydrated. Why is cold medication so expensive?? $13 for 20 whole tablets of mucinx is ridiculous. I did get some stuff for dd too.... I sure hope it works!!!
Fffc because $35 on water and cold meds is a lot to me.
Thank you!!! Seriously me too! H blew his nose once last night and then today said he was getting "there" when I said dd and I were miserable. I said okay we have been doing this for a week and it's just getting worse,I also added askin him if he could blow his nose or if he was pregnant therefore restricting meds he can take? she can't blow her nose she doesn't know how and obviously I can only take certain things which we are just not trying today!
Totally have bought all of our daughter's clothes through 6 months so far, there's a couple 6-18 month pieces as well - the majority were used but in EUC and got a couple free with my Kohl's points so I figured that was a good deal, spent about $60 so far I believe.
PS - I made that meme btw, thought it was appropriate
@salixjoy38 I thought so - I always try to buy them on the buy sell trade sites in lots, I don't really like picking thru a bunch of clothes lol, maybe that's just me though! I'm really excited for the set I'm picking up tonight, they are like new and adorable outfits, sleepers and a couple dresses I think. I hate buying new since I know they aren't in them very long, plus we aren't having a baby shower since this is our 2nd and last child so figured I'd stock up on good deals!
edit: spelling error, pregnancy brain has been getting me with the spelling for sure!

Ugh, right there with you on the cold and being quite unpleasant to my SO when he mentions that he doesn't feel well. I also kindly remind him that he's not ALSO pregnant on top of having a cold, and that he can take whatever medicine he would like to make himself feel better. Then I feel bad about it because I know he doesn't feel well and I shouldn't be so dismissive. But seriously. This cold is making me a mean person. I guess that's my FFFC until I can think of something better.
It really really gets to me when people try to comfort me by saying my parents are still here with me in spirit, even though they are both deceased. I understand they're trying to make me feel better, but it just doesn't help when they think some spirit watching over me is going to make them physically not here seem okay. Sometimes its just better to just say its okay to grieve than to try to make it feel better.. Sorry for the rant I just have to vent cause I know my friends mean well but it just doesn't help to hear those things sometimes.

Yesterday when I was walking home from work, I started to get really bad pains in my lower abdomen, so much so that it was difficult to walk the rest of the way. When I got home I started frantically googling symptoms. Soon after I let out a big fart, and then a few more, and the pains vanished. "> Maybe I'll lay off the Mexican food for a few meals...(but maybe not)
@acuteangles that was me yesterday except upper abdomen and oatmeal! Will never eat Quaker oats instant oatmeal with protein ever again. I was miserable!
@brushesnbrunch yay for the sleep! But no Bueno to the lack of food. I get sick If I go too long without eating!
I'm the same way with waiting too long to eat. I don't have anything in my house to eat for breakfast either because I've been so lazy with cooking and shopping, that I had to stop at McDonald's on the way to work for sausage mcgriddles meal AND oatmeal (tired to balance out the grease, ha!). I was famished!
We have only been here in Dallas for less than a year and I'm having a hard time building my "village". I am freaking out about what to do with my 2 year old while I'm in labor. My sister has offered to come from Australia for 2 weeks so I'm trying to work out how we'd even make it all work. I am 100% against elective induction....until last night when she asked what date she should book her tickets for. Chances are I'm being induced anyway based on previous complications but I need to talk to my Dr at my next appt and see what she says I guess.
I'm realizing that I'm becoming overly obsessed with my weight. When I got pregnant, I weighed 191. I stepped on the scale at home the other day and it read 197.4. Instead of telling myself that a 6 pound weight gain is good for being 20 weeks, my response was, "Well shit." This is a horrible attitude for me to have and I recognize it after I think about it for a minute. I'm proud of myself for keeping my weight gain to a minimum considering I was extremely overweight to begin with.
@DrillsergeantCat - I'm struggling with it too. My weight gain was at a pretty slow incline up until the last few weeks, when it suddenly jumped up. I know it's just part of the process, but it's still hard to accept, especially since I've always had to be careful about what I eat and cognizant of the scale in order to maintain my weight. Obviously I can't diet now, but it's hard because I haven't been eating horribly either, so I just have to deal with it and embrace it. But easier said than done.
I'm with you too @DrillSergeantCat , I hate my mindset when it comes to weight. It also didn't help that my OB was very strict about it. Sometimes thinking "this is for baby" helps, hope we can all feel better about our weight! Hugs!
I realized yesterday that I haven't actually paid for Splenda in about 3 years. I just grab a handful from Starbucks every time I go. Serves them right for charging me $5 for a latte or whatever astronomical price it is.
Flame away on the fake sugar consumption BTW! Sorry, not sorry!
@DrillSergeantCat The gaining weight thing is just tough. My confession is that I get frustrated seeing the weight loss/not gaining threads when I'm eating healthy and have gained 20. I mean, this ain't my first rodeo. I know that I'll gain about 50, but that doesn't make it easy!
(And I know, if I wasn't gaining, I would be worried about that too. Not meant to guilt anyone, just a confession about my insecurities.)
@acuteangles & @daisytortilla I know everything I've gained is baby because my face is slimmer and I was able to buy smaller pants. I just hate that my initial reaction was negative.
@cantobean that's what deodorant is for, right? They actually say that it's better for our skin and immune system to not shower every day, so just look at it as your doing something good for yourself.
Didn't feel like showering last night or this morning. Nothing wrong with a little stink--it's Friday!
I totally used to shower every other day before I had my perm - btw I thought this thing was supposed to grow out by now, I got in April and no signs of my hair coming back straight lol! I have to wash it every day now because it'd just be a giant rat's nest if not, I love that it only takes 5 mins to do my hair but sometimes miss my straight hair (I'm too afraid to straighten it and have it break off!)

I'm the same way. As soon as the number changes, I feel my self confidence go down so DH hid my scale. So now I only know because of weigh ins at OBs, which I hate, they make me even more self conscious! But not weighing myself at home has helped a bit!
@brushesnbrunch that's the kind I use too I love the blush one! Only dry shampoo I've been able to find that doesn't look like I put chalk in my greasy hair!

glad to hear I'm not the only one suffering through the pregnancy cold of doom.
FFFC- I think you're ignorant when you say a president has ruined the country. I also think you get most of your political information from facebook.
