Also on this episode of "shit my MIL says" Two whoppers from the night we made her and her husband dinner after her surgery: (As I'm feeding B a banana that she is demolishing) "Mom, you need to mix it with cow's milk and sugar. Then it will taste better" My response: it has just enough sugar that Jesus gave it. Her retort: C&H (the sugar company here) makes just as good of sugar as Jesus does."
And then. "Give her some of this (blueberry angel food cake). It's good for her. It's egg." Wtf no. It's like 80% sugar.
She reminds me of the Bill Cosby skit when he lets the kids eat chocolate cake for breakfast because it has milk and eggs in it. Lord help you
Girl, she held me together after my mom died. (My dad had passed about six months before). Think Sandra Bullock's character in The Blind Side except short, blonde, and baseball not football. That's my Momma J.
@noelietrex some Old Navy stores carry maternity clothes and I could have sworn I saw suits.
I'm a dodo. I totally forgot that I bought a maternity tankini top from Old Navy recently (online). I did it more for sun protection than modesty... since I live in FL now and will be spending a lot of time at the pool/beach with this pregnancy.
A coworker of mine just found out she's pregnant! She's been trying for a long time for baby #2 and she had almost given up since her 40th birthday is coming up. I am SO over the moon for her! Now, our babes will be two months apart.
Has anyone ever had a prenatal massage? I want to get a gift card for my friend for her birthday. She is 25ish weeks pregnant. I just don't know how they work. Like are you on your back? Do they have a hole for your belly so you can lay on your tummy? Haha I'm clueless

I had one and I was basically on top of an inflatable where I could lay face down but my belly poked through. It felt great but it was a tad uncomfortable.

That was one of the best gifts I received when I was pregnant with DS! They have a special set up for pregnant women. I don't remember how it was while you were on your back, but there is a hole for your stomach! They lay a special pad down.

QBF I go all the time and they use 3 different pillows. I lay on my side and switch halfway thru. It's heaven.The only thing you want to check is that they have a therapist that is properly trained and if the spa requires a dr note saying she's low risk.
I'm flying home to visit family tomorrow and dreading it. It's the 1st time I've seen them since I moved to Toronto in September. Both MIL and my parents are treating me like an incubator. Want to talk about careers/pets/hobbies? Nope, let's judge her symptoms, food/medicene choices or guilt husbund into moving back. This is the 1st grandchild, I get that they're happy, but staaawp. I am pumped to have a daughter, I promise if she chooses to have a baby, I will not treat her like a test tube.
I did prenatal yoga for the first time since I've been pregnant (I used to do yoga 2x/week prior to being KU). I almost cried afterwards when I had a heathy looking BM. Seriously. It's been goat peebles for 15 weeks. Yay yoga!
Nesting is real guys... Anyone else? I've got a running list of things we need to do in the next 5 months before baby comes and I'm in full fledged clean-out and dumping mode. Cleaning out the 2nd bedroom closet, drawers all over, bathroom(??), writing down HOW exactly to rearrange our stuff to make room for baby's stuff, etc. idk if my husband is cool, excited, or thinking "wtf???" everyday when I tell him the next thing he needs to help me with.

I am starting this week, glad it has benefited you! I just needed to get into something. I have still been playing volleyball but miss yoga so will give it a go!
Ton of randoms today. -First 1hr GTT was done today. Blergh. -I got the referral to the mfm to schedule our anatomy scan. I call tomorrow to make that appt for sometime in the next 2-3wks. Holy crap it's going fast. Also I still seem to be in denial that #4 is actually on its way despite all the pregnancy symptoms. I'm hoping this makes it real finally. -I threatened to beat my husband if he is OOT for that appt. I only ask he makes two of my many appts (the anatomy scan and my 38wk one when I have been sent to be induced twice now) . Come on dude. -I drove 30 mins out of my way for Jimmy Johns today. So worth it.

I don't know if my standards for a restful sleep have changed but today I slept from 9:45pm-3:15am straight and it feels wonderful. Now to attempt to get another hour in before I have to get up for work at 6am
I didn't sleep at all! I fell asleep around 10:00 and had a weird dream... Woke up at 11:45. Husband was snoring SO loud next to me... Laid there awake until around 4:15 this morning, and at 5:30 my alarm went off. Today will be amazing.
My boobs are not properly contained by my bra anymore. And since I have to special order my bras, I totally refuse to buy any "in between" bras for pregnancy. I will wait until I'm nursing tyvm.
speaking of bras... I started off with in between A and B cup and I am starting to fill out on top. When I wear my sports bra it overflows. It's actually very interesting because I have never had that happen before and I was wondering why my t-shirt felt weird.
Anyway, does this mean I am going to have to buy a new sports bra to work out in?!
My boobs have always been disproportionately large (not as fun as it sounds) and yesterday I realized none of my zip up sweatshirts fit anymore. Not because of my belly, but because my boobs. Once my milk came in, I shit you not, EACH breast was bigger than MY head. Talk about crazy.
Hubs requested I put ham and beans in the slow cooker for dinner tonight and that he would make cornbread (which he makes fan-freaking-tastically). I had every intention on doing so....until DD started screaming for hours (which is very uncharacteristic of her). I FINALLY got her to sleep but obviously dinner didn't get put on. Hubs better not dilly dally after work and he had better be home asap because all DD has been saying is dadadada, which is the only word she really says except 'go'. I don't mind cooking tonight, but he's gotta take care of her while I do it tonight.
Woke up from my nap (after not sleeping all night) with horrible kidney pain. At least I think it's kidney pain. I'd already know by now if my doctors office didn't blow me off. So now I'm stuck waiting till tonight for help with this firey burning punching feel in my left side/back. I'm tearing up and so angry right now ahhh!!!

I'm a D cup naturally and my boobs are overflowing out of my bras. I refuse to buy new ones until it becomes painful. In the meantime I'm just trying to avoid a nip slip.

Beans would make me so farty but that sounds delicious. And cornbread - fuck yeah!

Yea sorry you're in pain and I think it's totally reasonable for you to answer the phone like "Oh hey assholes" when they do get back to you. WTF- kidney pain is serious sh!t
Umm, is anyone else experiencing a shit ton of quote box fails today? The html is correct but once it posts, the box is gone. What's up with that, TB??

I was trying to figure out how to collapse quote boxes and I somehow turned my reply onto spoiler mode. So that was fun. I don't know how to html, I just type in the area that's colored different than the quote box.

I've been at court for the past 6 hours with a dom bat victim that actually went to trial. I'm just getting to my office now and I have 20 emails to respond to and 4 voicemails. I don't wanna talk to another human being at all today. I just want to sleep. Also, I think my other root canal is failing.

Girl, he made himself venison chili last week and ate it every day at lunch and for a "predinner snack". HE FARTED ALL NIGHT ALL WEEK. Gassed me out of bed! On the positive, his cornbread is the best I've ever had.
I am hoping to not have to do the three hour one. I faint super easily when getting blood drawn. I would not be excited about being stuck that many times
