Stupid dusting of "snow" shutting down Georgia this weekend. I had a bachelorette party to go to this weekend but had to be an adult and make the responsible decision to not drive 2.5 hours with the threat of black ice. UGH!
DD threw up once on Friday and I figured she ate something that didn't agree with her. She really wanted cheese its for breakfast and sometimes the cheese they use makes he a little sick. DH didn't want to fight her so he handed over the box. MIL had a full blown 24 hr thing over the weekend. While it's possible they had the same thing my mommy instincts say no. But whatever makes MIL sleep at night. I really hate that she judges my parenting and comes up with a different reason for why DD might be sick when they have outlawed cheese its in their own house for the same reason.
Had another break down yesterday night. This time it was over moving. Money keeps getting tighter and we still haven't been able to figure out how much we can afford each month for a place because of medical bills. I'm still on edge about the entire thing.
To the people who don't shovel their sidewalks- screw you. The 2 feet of snow we got this weekend was bad enough, but I can't physically climb over the mountains of it you leave on the sidewalks. And the ice patches? I can't walk on them. My 12 minute walk to the train took me about 20 this morning thanks to having to dodge your crappy shoveling jobs.
I'll be the giant pregnant lady walking in the road till this nonsense melts away, thank you very much.
Broke my back molar on Saturday and only ate soft foods the rest of the weekend until my appointment today. I'm all fixed but I'm starving and my face is still numb.
I have an aunt who always re-shares my pictures and I don't like it. This time she re-shared my profile picture with me and my husband. I have the privacy settings to where only my friends can see it so nobody else on her list will see it unless they're my friend but it's annoying.
My husband and I got into an two arguments over the weekend, one because the dishes haven't been done in a long time except for when I do them and the other is because he feels desperate to leave on a trip abroad before the baby is born. He came home from a counseling session and proposed that he puts some money aside in a different account when he gets paid each time and I said as long as he's not putting half his paycheck in it each time then I'm fine. Then he proposed the idea of leaving now and paying the money back later. I told him we don't have the money and we don't have the time. Then he starts asking why he can't do it now and I give him a bunch of reasons why it's not a good idea so now I'm the one who is "holding him back" from his dreams to travel. Excuse me, you also decided to have kids too and they take time and money. Not to mention we don't even have that kind of money for you to be tripping to the next state. An argument ensued and then he started to attack me personally and saying I always treat him like shit and really pulling things to further make it sound like I'm the asshole. So I wrote him an email over the weekend as I was in the other room bawling. I can't retract it and since then we've kind of reconciled, or just let it go without any resolution. Anyway, he seemed to be in a better mood after that argument so I never brought it up that I left him an email. I really should call him and give him a heads up.

Yes to the fb thing!! My mil made her cover photo a pic I posted of me, my husband, and my son. If she had asked, I would have said she could use it. It just bothers me that she does it without asking me. All the sudden I'll see my picture pop up as someone else's cover photo - it's weird!
Yesterday I was doing enough cleaning and taking care of DD on my feet while DH was washing and waxing the cars, to the point that I was getting very uncomfortable BH contractions. Told him so too. Later in the evening he had the balls to say that I had "done nothing" all day. Seriously, dude?
Stupid sinus infection. I think I'm starting to recover but I'm tired of portions of my face/jaw hurting so much. Yesterday got so bad I started crying, which oddly helped relieve some of the pressure. I'm with you @Mailmans Baby Momma I hate snot too
T-minus one week until we caucus and all the politicians can stop pretending they've heard of Iowa before. I'm so sick of all the hassle. It's better than 4 years ago when I was a student (Obama visited as part of his campaign and they shut down half of campus, rescheduling classes and re-routed busses for a full day, to the point I couldn't even get to campus, all for a 45 minute OUTDOOR speech. If you want that much security, GO INSIDE) but still, the campaigners. I have had at least 2 door-knockers a week for a month and last week's mail averaged 5 political fliers a day.
The only good news is that I haven't seen a single prescription medication commercial in over a month since all the ad time is spoken for...
DH was in a FOUL mood last night because of the cardinals game and totally acted like a child. I spent 4 hours cooking & baking yesterday and he refused repeatedly to try any of it bc he was too busy drinking beer at the time. Then after the game was over (so...8 or 8:30?), made himself a frozen breakfast burrito and a quesadilla. At that point I basically said WTF to him, and then he ate a bowl of the tortilla soup I'd made, two more tortillas, and a huge bowl of ice cream. And then couldn't sleep well. Gee, I wonder why. And he left for work training in Orlando this morning until Wednesday and dammit, I'm gonna miss his stupid face.
My 7 1/2 yr old beagle has decided he should be allowed on the couches. He has never been allowed to. It makes my blood boil. Esp after he goes outside and then wants to jump up there with wet feet. And has also started getting into the trash all the damn time, like i go outaide for a couple minutes or in the middle of the night he does it.
It's seriously had thoughts of rehoming cross my mind. I can't handle it at all. Nothing has changed recently. He is just an ass.
We won't actually rehome him but he is seriously driving me insane the last few months
BFM to myself for deciding to run this morning. I figured since my level of pelvic pain was the same whether I walked or ran, I might as well run because running makes me feel good.
Running no longer makes me feel good. I'm scared to sit down because when I go to stand up, my pelvis feels like it's going to shatter.
Also had my 1-hour GD test today and only brought yogurt. So hungry. I suck today.

He very well could be sensing hormones! My dog started acting strange the further along I got with DD1 and went back to normaly after the first few weeks. She has gotten SO naughty this time around! She is a 4 year old Lab and never chewed anything or stole food ever. She has apparently learned the art of counter surfing in the past few months! And again, the further along I get, the needier and naughtier she is getting! Nothing major, still a good dog, but still. I'm hoping she goes back to normal again after the baby is born...

This is baby 3. He has always been stubborn and kind of difficult lol. Lately he has just been over the top. I'm just hoping this defiant phase ends asap.
My lab has started counter surfing when we leave and has actually grabbed stuff off the top of the fridge. He is 8.
So we have started kenneling them when we leave again, haven't had to do that in years.
@brit&nate2010 one of my cats has begun deliberately doing anything and everything in his power to be an asshole. It's uncanny and I'm ready for it to stop.
I gained FOUR pounds from last week. Four. I've been working out diligently and being conscious about what I'm eating--what in the hell is this bullshit. Not.okay.
Also, one of my pregnant friends is making the biggest to-do about her upcoming baby shower this weekend. This is for her second child, another boy--she had her first 2 years ago. She planned the shower herself. It just blows my mind how people can completely disregard etiquette this way. She made a designated effort to remind us that we were invited and where to find her registry, which is jam-packed full quite frankly.

I hate this too!! My SIL goes one step further and will download the pictures to her computer and then share them on her public Instagram account. One day I was scrolling through and saw my ultrasound picture I had posted on Facebook a week and a half after I had posted it. Once LO comes, I am going to tell her she needs to ask before posting pictures. I do not want my pictures on a public account, especially if I have no control over it.

While I can't fathom re-sharing someone else's sonogram photo (seriously, that is just odd), this is actually why I don't post any of that stuff on social media. By posting it, you are saying you are ok with it being shared. The only way to keep any of that TRULY private is to not post it at all.
Another BFM to myself for failing my glucose test by 5 points and for peeking at my results rather than waiting for a phone call. Hopefully I'm close enough..

I know how you feel! I took mine today and cheated by looking up my results online as well. I also failed but it's noted that I need to come in for the 3 hour test. Now I'm waiting for my nurse to call me and give me the bad news, but I'm guessing that won't happen until this afternoon.
I gained FOUR pounds from last week. Four. I've been working out diligently and being conscious about what I'm eating--what in the hell is this bullshit. Not.okay.

I didn't know it was considered tacky to throw yourself a shower until I joined the Bump. A lot of my friends a family have done it and no one ever said anything. (My mom is throwing mine. I mean my sister is throwing mine. But really it's my mom and she is using my sisters name so she doesn't "look" like a control freak)
As a side note I can't wait until my friend gets pregnant so I can throw her a shower! She is going off the deep end with Baby Star Wars nursery decor
@AmadorRosehow did you see your results? I have mine on Friday and would rather not spend the weekend anxiously waiting if I don't have to...and be able to enjoy food for DH's birthday!
@AmadorRose I barely failed too and have my 3 hour on Friday. The called me the day after to inform me of that AND that I'm anemic. Yay. Welcome to the "of all likeliness I don't have GD but I have to endure the 3 hour test anyways" club.

Why? The kids are close enough together that she should still have everything she really needs. Plus they're both the same sex, so no one is going to want to go all out to give her opposite sex crap. I decided to only buy 3 of each size for LO, since the boys will only be 21 months apart when he's born. Even if this LO was a girl, I wouldn't have another baby shower. It's tacky and gift grabby. You already had a baby not long ago, so such it up and buy your own new things if you so desperately want them! I even felt like it was tacky when my friend had her baby shower for her second, and those kids are 3 years apart and the opposite sex. I'm also just rolling my eyes at people in general, so that may be part of it.

Ugh! I am in the same boat. SIL #1 is having a coed, 200+ person second bay shower in less than 2 years for another girl at a banquet hall and a full registry that came with the formal invite.
SIL #2 is having her third, yes THIRD baby shower in the last 5 years the same weekend. I can't skip one and go to the other and quite frankly I think both of them are shitty for having multiple baby showers for same sex baby's so close together. I would skip both but DH will not miss his brother's (SIL #1) baby shower. My MIL would never let him hear the end of it.
DH was in a FOUL mood last night because of the cardinals game and totally acted like a child. I spent 4 hours cooking & baking yesterday and he refused repeatedly to try any of it bc he was too busy drinking beer at the time.

^^^ I just have to say, while surely frustrating, this BFM ended adorably.
@Knottie9983816 I actually didn't think they were considered tacky until I went on here either. It's done super often, at least in my family circle. Usually there isn't even an official 'host' role and the party may be at the guest of honor's house, sometimes not. My sister has her name listed on my invite for RSVP and I had mine on hers, but she paid for her food/decor and I contributed a few things and the same will go for mine. I feel like it's weirder to have someone else paying for the costs of a party that is not for them. But clearly I am in a huge minority!!
My BFM is someone had their foot jammed under the right side of my rib cage all morning, which made sorting laundry not fun. I decided to squat instead, which I thought hey! bonus squats! but on the last one, could hardly get back up.
@briterfly84 I work at an outlying clinic of the hospital I'm being seen at and we use the same system, so I cheated and asked a coworker to look my results up. Awful, I know, but I just couldn't wait.
@emgee27 Maybe it's a regional thing. Where I am it's also considered rude to not invite out of town guests so they can feel included in the festivities, but that's apparently "gift grabby" elsewhere.

Well I didn't even know looking up results online was a thing - apparently I'm like a grandma... Hey kiddies show me how to work this dagflabbit interwebs!
Buuuttttt now I wish I hadn't known, because now I have something to b*tch about today... I failed my stinking test! BOO! Now I have to spend my Friday off in the lab taking the 3 hour... sad days...

Edit: Words
This IMO is common sense etiquette wise (that throwing your own second shower is considered rude and gift-grabby). But to each their own.

So are you attending?
I would if the shower were being held in town! I'm sending presents in lieu of my absence.
I feel like a bitch for even complaining about this, so here I go. I had a full-blown meltdown last night about living with the inlaws. They are allowing us to live in their spare bedroom rent free, though we do pay a portion of utilities and living expenses. The problems I have are that my inlaws are too nice. In fact they tend to smother me. They are also very sociable. Every time I come out of my room to go to the bedroom to go to the bathroom or get a bite to eat, they want to chat. They feel left out and hurt when I don't want to talk to them for a day or two at a time. The problem is that I'm fighting severe depression (something they have absolutely no experience with) so even though they are trying to help, they are still hurt by my withdrawal, even though I just can't handle people at all right now.
I was talking to DH about what we are going to do when I go into labor. My preference is to labor at home as long as possible. I'm sure they would invade my privacy out of concern for my well-being instead of leaving me to labor alone. In the first trimester when I was nauseous, they frequently (very nicely) stated that I needed to leave the door open a little so they could make sure I didn't pass out. I am so very blessed to be so loved and taken care of. Many of you wish you had people looking out for you, I know. But I just can't take too much more. DH and I are going to sit down and talk to them, but I need him to set the tone so I can hopefully avoid saying something mean to people who are trying so hard to help. At the moment all I want is to go to the bathroom without someone asking how I am or trying to interest me in some show or book.
Another dumb BFM is that my singing voice is now gone. I am a professional voice teacher and very proud of my singing voice (I should be after all the time and money I've spent to get this good over the last decade) and now my voice is gone. I'm still able to sing in tune, but the richness and power are gone. I'm happy to have space for the baby, but right now it's really upsetting me that I can't sing the way I should be able to...

Minor BFM from this weekend. I have gone prematurely grey which is annoying enough but whatever. I go typically every 3 months to get highlights put in and it takes forever (2+ hours) so it's a major ordeal. So anyhow yesterday I decide to drive to my hair salon (30 minutes away) to get this done. This place doesn't take appointments so its first come, first serve. I show up at 10:55 (opens at 11) and yet somehow I'm still the fourth person in line with 1 person on and 40 minute wait. I was so annoyed I just turned around and left and drove 30 minutes home with my skunk hair. They never have enough staff on Sunday's. Why can't they realize this is continuously a problem and schedule two stylists at the same time? Now I have to go back next weekend and hope for better scheduling luck.
Re: BFM 1/25/16
MIL had a full blown 24 hr thing over the weekend. While it's possible they had the same thing my mommy instincts say no. But whatever makes MIL sleep at night. I really hate that she judges my parenting and comes up with a different reason for why DD might be sick when they have outlawed cheese its in their own house for the same reason.
Therefore throwing up in my morning shower has returned.
I. Hate. Snot.
The sound is like nails on a chalkboard to me.. Not to mention it's gross! Personal grooming should be done at home!
I'll be the giant pregnant lady walking in the road till this nonsense melts away, thank you very much.
I have an aunt who always re-shares my pictures and I don't like it. This time she re-shared my profile picture with me and my husband. I have the privacy settings to where only my friends can see it so nobody else on her list will see it unless they're my friend but it's annoying.
My husband and I got into an two arguments over the weekend, one because the dishes haven't been done in a long time except for when I do them and the other is because he feels desperate to leave on a trip abroad before the baby is born. He came home from a counseling session and proposed that he puts some money aside in a different account when he gets paid each time and I said as long as he's not putting half his paycheck in it each time then I'm fine. Then he proposed the idea of leaving now and paying the money back later. I told him we don't have the money and we don't have the time. Then he starts asking why he can't do it now and I give him a bunch of reasons why it's not a good idea so now I'm the one who is "holding him back" from his dreams to travel. Excuse me, you also decided to have kids too and they take time and money. Not to mention we don't even have that kind of money for you to be tripping to the next state. An argument ensued and then he started to attack me personally and saying I always treat him like shit and really pulling things to further make it sound like I'm the asshole. So I wrote him an email over the weekend as I was in the other room bawling. I can't retract it and since then we've kind of reconciled, or just let it go without any resolution. Anyway, he seemed to be in a better mood after that argument so I never brought it up that I left him an email. I really should call him and give him a heads up.
It's a boy! Grow baby, grow! EDD: 4/22/2016
The only good news is that I haven't seen a single prescription medication commercial in over a month since all the ad time is spoken for...
It's seriously had thoughts of rehoming cross my mind. I can't handle it at all. Nothing has changed recently. He is just an ass.
We won't actually rehome him but he is seriously driving me insane the last few months
Running no longer makes me feel good. I'm scared to sit down because when I go to stand up, my pelvis feels like it's going to shatter.
Also had my 1-hour GD test today and only brought yogurt. So hungry. I suck today.
This is baby 3.
He has always been stubborn and kind of difficult lol. Lately he has just been over the top. I'm just hoping this defiant phase ends asap.
My lab has started counter surfing when we leave and has actually grabbed stuff off the top of the fridge.
He is 8.
So we have started kenneling them when we leave again, haven't had to do that in years.
Also, one of my pregnant friends is making the biggest to-do about her upcoming baby shower this weekend. This is for her second child, another boy--she had her first 2 years ago. She planned the shower herself. It just blows my mind how people can completely disregard etiquette this way. She made a designated effort to remind us that we were invited and where to find her registry, which is jam-packed full quite frankly.
As a side note I can't wait until my friend gets pregnant so I can throw her a shower! She is going off the deep end with Baby Star Wars nursery decor
Edit: Words
SIL #2 is having her third, yes THIRD baby shower in the last 5 years the same weekend. I can't skip one and go to the other and quite frankly I think both of them are shitty for having multiple baby showers for same sex baby's so close together. I would skip both but DH will not miss his brother's (SIL #1) baby shower. My MIL would never let him hear the end of it.
@Knottie9983816 I actually didn't think they were considered tacky until I went on here either. It's done super often, at least in my family circle. Usually there isn't even an official 'host' role and the party may be at the guest of honor's house, sometimes not. My sister has her name listed on my invite for RSVP and I had mine on hers, but she paid for her food/decor and I contributed a few things and the same will go for mine. I feel like it's weirder to have someone else paying for the costs of a party that is not for them. But clearly I am in a huge minority!!
My BFM is someone had their foot jammed under the right side of my rib cage all morning, which made sorting laundry not fun. I decided to squat instead, which I thought hey! bonus squats! but on the last one, could hardly get back up.
Buuuttttt now I wish I hadn't known, because now I have something to b*tch about today... I failed my stinking test! BOO! Now I have to spend my Friday off in the lab taking the 3 hour... sad days...
I feel like a bitch for even complaining about this, so here I go. I had a full-blown meltdown last night about living with the inlaws. They are allowing us to live in their spare bedroom rent free, though we do pay a portion of utilities and living expenses. The problems I have are that my inlaws are too nice. In fact they tend to smother me. They are also very sociable. Every time I come out of my room to go to the bedroom to go to the bathroom or get a bite to eat, they want to chat. They feel left out and hurt when I don't want to talk to them for a day or two at a time. The problem is that I'm fighting severe depression (something they have absolutely no experience with) so even though they are trying to help, they are still hurt by my withdrawal, even though I just can't handle people at all right now.
I was talking to DH about what we are going to do when I go into labor. My preference is to labor at home as long as possible. I'm sure they would invade my privacy out of concern for my well-being instead of leaving me to labor alone. In the first trimester when I was nauseous, they frequently (very nicely) stated that I needed to leave the door open a little so they could make sure I didn't pass out. I am so very blessed to be so loved and taken care of. Many of you wish you had people looking out for you, I know. But I just can't take too much more. DH and I are going to sit down and talk to them, but I need him to set the tone so I can hopefully avoid saying something mean to people who are trying so hard to help. At the moment all I want is to go to the bathroom without someone asking how I am or trying to interest me in some show or book.
Another dumb BFM is that my singing voice is now gone. I am a professional voice teacher and very proud of my singing voice (I should be after all the time and money I've spent to get this good over the last decade) and now my voice is gone. I'm still able to sing in tune, but the richness and power are gone. I'm happy to have space for the baby, but right now it's really upsetting me that I can't sing the way I should be able to...
