Have at it!

mamacastro · December 2015

Just wondering what happened to @AdventureMama, did I miss something? I haven't seen her for days and miss her posts/comments

skschnake · December 2015

I am tired, tired, tired! I literally just want to lay in my warm bed and force DH to cuddle with me. I have also been feeling kind of "off" today. Just achey, extra hard stomach and blah. I dont like it one bit.

plus I DONT WANT TO BE AT WORK! LOL

Kiek · December 2015

Potty training is hard. But I think this might be the week it clicks!

blueberrymomma · December 2015

I have a big vent about DH. Sorry in advance if it's long
I am so sick of hunting season. Not just deer but also duck, goose, and trapping. DH keeps saying just one more weekend and Im like we're down to 9 weekends to get ready for baby. Plus I have a swim meet almost every Saturday now till EDD. He doesn't understand that how anxious it makes me to not have the nursery set up. It's like I'm frozen and can't do anything until it's done.
Plus I wanted to decorate our tree last weekend and I can't because someone is "too tired" or "can't". I'll decorate myself but I can't carry the boxes up
I came home from work last night with horrible cramps and a back ache. I asked for a little backrub to help me feel better and sleep. I was told no
Finally I haven't been able to use my toilet for 2 weeks cuz it's broke. You'd think that would be a priority so your pregant wife doesn't have to walk to the other side of the house 10 times a night!
And honestly DH is normally really good about this kind of stuff but I feel like he hasn't been this pregnancy

mamacastro · December 2015

This may be TMI and gross so I apologize but I can't poop and am having the worst poop pains. Its actually painful and my stomach is hard and tight and heavy. I've tried cereal, fruit, prunes and even Tacobell cause that place has never failed me before but nope, nothing for three days now. I'm about ready to try the warm lemmon water remedy before medicine which is my last resort

thisusername · December 2015

I'm pretty irritated that we lost several innocent lives and many others have been changed forever after the events in San Bernadino and NONE of the flags are at half-staff.
Yet, when a celebrity passes away they go down within the hour..

thisusername · December 2015

Also this guy I used to work for.. Ugh!!!
I told him I would not work on or after December 2nd for the safety of his own children (since my hips are getting worse and I need meds and physical therapy) and what does he do?! He texted me yesterday "why aren't you working" then after I remind him that I am officially done and told him this date 3 weeks ago, he responds with "well we will talk when you come tomorrow. We will be looking at next week."
No. There's no tomorrow (well today) or next week. I told him SEVEN weeks ago I would be quitting soon and to start looking. Then THREE weeks ago I gave him my official resignation and the date.

He literally wants me to come over in person so his kids can whine at me and guilt me into working. NO. Your spoiled kids can deal and you can suffer the consequences YOU brought upon yourself.
I was shaking with rage when I got those messages.
Alright, vent over.

Yeah its pretty weird here today in San Bernardino. I was trying to avoid going out anywhere right now but H went to the store and said it was a ghost town when its usually madness there and the busy activity on the streets is non existent and then here our flags everywhere are at half staff even at people's homes

Kiek · December 2015

Also I haven't showered since Tuesday. My toddler changed her schedule, no longer naps and has been whining non stop. I don't sleep much now that my hips always hurt, I have sciatic nerve pain all the time and I pee all night. DH gets off work earlier today and I cannot wait to go take a shower...alone... When I'm not pregnant, I strap my kid in my jogging stroller and run until my head is clear. Now I'm just doing laundry

mamacastro · December 2015

Ha ha @Kiek My goal somedays are just be able to take a shower even if its just a quick 3 minute one. Yesterday when H was home I got to have a shower after two days so I hear ya

egraves4 · December 2015

@mamacastro Why not try benefiber? My ob said that if you're already constipated eating foods with fiber really isn't going to fix much... It will however help to keep everything moving once it does get moving again... My ob recommended benefiber (once a day) and if that doesn't work you can try a laxative and even an enema. Benefiber seems to have helped.

mamacastro · December 2015

@egraves4 thanks for the info. I am going to have to try it when I get to the store later

dragonfly321 · December 2015

I don't get out much anymore...
I'm celebrating a PEDICURE!!! Shew I swear getting your feet rubbed feels 10x better when you're pregnant!

Mamacat316 · December 2015

It has been raining heavily for days now, and I have a toddler bouncing off the walls. I can only take him places we can walk or take the bus to because my drivers license is not recognized here and I'm waiting to was take the stupid test in like 6 weeks to get a new one. Mostly I just need it to stop raining for 10 minutes.

ohbaby714 · December 2015

Just a vent but I bought a big bag of peanut butter m&ms and had about 5 of them before the raging heartburn kicked in. So disappointed.

DrillSergeantCat · December 2015

I'm so tired of seeing all of my co-workers get a bonus except me. They get a safety bonus the beginning of every December if there's not been any accidents in the shop and I don't work in the shop, so I can't be too upset about that one. However, they also get a monthly attendance bonus that is between $100-$300 a month. I'm the only hourly employee that doesn't get that. The other office workers (branch manager, salesman, and shop manager) get year-end bonuses this time of year. I'm literally the only one here who gets jack at Christmas.

That doesn't surprise me too much and I'm glad at least the city that it happened in is recognizing the loss.
I live in (on the border rather) DC though. I expected our capital to recognize the insane loss like they do for celebrities and acts of terrorism overseas. I mean it's rather disgusting that the east is hardly recognizing this at all. I mean how many lives does it take for the entire country to show respect? Ugh, those poor families.

mamacastro · December 2015

^^^ yep @thisusername

Zaphina · December 2015

My mother-in-law is a nutbag. We uninvited her to the baby shower. She and my husband are not on speaking terms. The holidays should be fun.

That being said, I'm glad we uninvited her because I didn't want to deal with her drama llama attutidue anyways!

summererdvig · December 2015

Heart burn, leg cramps, constant peeing and being kicked in the ribs. So far the third trimester is super fun and comfortable!! Super easy pregnancy up until now, but I'm really starting to be uncomfortable. I know it's all going to worth it, I just wish time would hurry up a little so I could see her sweet little face (and not be a blimp anymore) LOL

Also, my husband. He's driving me crazy. And his mom. But that's normal right?

tooba22 · December 2015

@Zaphina any way you would be willing to call my MIL and uninvite her? Lol

I work at a federal courthouse in Texas, and our flag is at half staff. I was just thinking today how sad it is that's it's been at half staff way too often the last month. So sad how many lives have been lost recently.

I'm saddened to hear that it has been lowered so much, but I am grateful that at least this courthouse is recognizing these tragedies.
Honestly it makes me scared for my baby, I don't want her growing up in a world with so much tragedy and hate.

mamacastro · December 2015

Now its really bad because we keep hearing conflicting reports that there are other groups here, then it changes again to "No we're totally safe here" but no definative answer yet so now i'm over here like I don't want to do anything in the city with DS with me cause we don't know what's going on. Then we really don't want to partake in the holiday activities here because 1.) This tragedy has put a damper on celebrating right now and 2.) We don't know if the crowded activities here will be safe so I guess for right now the terrorists won and made me feel unsafe in my own city

I just read this today. PLEASE do not do an enema unless under medical direction. A complete emptying of the bowels is something our bodies will naturally do a day or a few just before labor in preparation for pushing. Prematurely forcing your body to do it may trigger labor and all of the babies on this board ideally need a little more time to cook.

mamacastro · December 2015

@BabySeaTurtles I wouldn't do an enema, cause of the situation here in San Bernardino I haven't been to the store or purchased anything OTC. Just been drinking lots of water and hoping for the best lol

g0lightly8706 · December 2015

Vent.. I'm going thru my RSVP list for my shower and realized that with less than a week till the rsvp cutoff date, not one person on my husband's side beside his sister and mom have responded. it's just really annoying cause when i asked for their addresses they seemed so happy and grateful and now it feels like none of them want to go cause they realized it's in my hometown which is 40 minutes away and not in the town they all live in. what gives in laws?!

thisusername · December 2015

My cat is driving me nuts.
So my kitten is about to go into her first hear cycle (thank the lord it's before the baby!! Yes we ARE getting her fixed, but I want her to go through one healthy cycle as does my vet so we can make are there are no problems. Again, yay it'll be before baby)
Anyways, my 1.5 year old neutered main Coon is not exactly humping, but he balls my feet up in blankets and like dances over them as if he is about to hump me and start meowing like crazy and being annoying. Aragorn is still good and he listens when I tell him to get off or "no more", thank goodness for that. But ugh! He's waking me up in the night during the very few hours of sleep I rarely get

On another bright note, Arwen (the kitten) doesn't let him get on her at all. Which is great since he is 20 pounds and she weighs (maybe) 6ish now.

Anyways, no. Bad cat. No waking me and none of this male cat behavior. Go back to being flawless!! So SOO happy that this means the kitten will be fixed before the baby gets here. One less thing to worry about.

On another cat complaint related topic; my Christmas tree is already destroyed from the kitten. She has apparently been sleeping in it.

ape0209 · December 2015

Well found out I am anemic so started taking meds for that!! I can't sleep at all!

Good news I went to the HR for a 29 week ultra sound and our little guy is a week a head of schedule which is great news considering how sick I have been and still am! They were super excited how big he is!!!

dragonfly321 · December 2015

@g0lightly8706 people are shitty with RSVP'ing in general. Besides the inconvenience, I wouldn't stress it. Enjoy your day, and if people don't care enough to Celebrate with you.... Screw em.

Hi @mamacastro! Sorry I haven't been around, we've been sick this week and just really busy. :P I'll try to be better about it!

mamacastro · December 2015

Yay there you are, hope you feel better

Yeah my shower was yesterday and my SIL responded the day of the shower. My MIL also responded like 2 days before. People suck

I graduate from college next Saturday. I'm not typically the kind of person who cares if family attends things because at this point in my life I have my own family who I know will be there. My husband and kids will make it, but it doesn't look like my parents will at all. It's partially my fault because I should have been planning things sooner, but I had told me stepmom months ago the date and time hoping they would make it. My mom is even coming into town that day to make a Christmas dinner at my brother's house (which we're expected to attend after graduation) but isn't bothering to come to the ceremony. Maybe I'm just being sensitive about it, but I worked really hard to get to this point and was really hoping they would make it out.

That is a REALLY big deal and your family should be ashamed for not going. I hope they feel like trash afterwards!!
Congratulations to you, that's such an accomplishment! Don't let them ruin your day or make it feel less than it is. You are AMAZING!

Thanks, I told my husband at dinner that I didn't think anyone was coming and now the poor guy is beating himself up for not planning something sooner. I guess he was going to throw a little party any everything afterwards, but like me waiting too long to do anything for it.

thisusername · December 2015

@camusoh2011 Aww, your husband sounds like a sweet guy. I hope you have a wonderful time regaurdless of the number of attendees! I mean seriously that is SUCH a big deal! I'm sorry if I sound like a raving lunatic, but graduating is a huge accomplishment, especially while pregnant.

Vkrosa · December 2015

I need time off of work but our office is closed for two weeks during the holiday meaning no pay I can't afford to take time off. My mouth hurts and I need to get to a dentist and I finally just got done with my antibiotics for my strep. Lord help me I just need to get through two weeks and I'll have time off.

Anaelsea · December 2015

Just found out that our potential baby name is the name of stepmoms crazy crack head sister, so new name hunt... ugh...

We told DH's family the baby name over thanksgiving. They hated it. Normally DH and I wouldn't care at all what they think, hence revealing the name now. Well for some reason it really hurt DH's feelings and he doesn't like the name any more. He picked this name! So he wants me to name her when she's born. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going with but I'm just going to meet her and see how we feel then
