Re: maternity hotel- will said hotel have 24/7 room service, adjustable beds, masseurs at our beck-and-call, and hot tubs we can actually use???
I'm glad you guys all agree that it sounds fucking nuts! I absolutely will never ever be alone with her and neither will my kid. I told H about what she said and I'll tell my mom. Everyone else in my family is so damn oblivious because they think a cute baby is on the way. If I mention anything they get mad and start accusing me of acting like my mom and thinking someone is always out to get me. So annoying. She doesn't know where I live. Thank God - but I've seriously considered staying at my mom's on nights when H works late just to be safe. I think after last night I'm going to start. Her text just totally rubbed me the wrong way. She had just posted about her situation on Facebook but felt the need to reiterate things to me privately in a text? Odd.
I'm still in the thinking she isn't even pregnant camp and am anticipating a claim of loss very close to my due date. I've never heard of a planned induction at 30 weeks, 2 months ahead of time. I guess time will tell. I wish she would just go away.
In other news, I completely agree with @CourtJack. I'd check into a maternity hotel for an extended stay in a heartbeat.
Quick update on my father's diagnosis. His surgery has been scheduled for a week from tomorrow to remove the prostate cancer, he also has a bad hernia that they feel needs to come out asap so they're doing it at the same time - so its a major surgery with overnight hospital stays. I'm stressing majorly about it but praying that all will be ok and that when they remove the lymphnodes around the prostate they are clean (which would mean the cancer hasn't spread outside the prostate and that radiation isn't necessary). Also praying that this surgery puts the whole ordeal behind him (and my family) and that he receives a clean bill of health afterwords!! Would appreciate additional prayers from my June BMBers
So happy to hear this! Praying her lymph nodes are clear and she can recover quickly.
@MsBeachNj: Thanks for the update on your Dad. Hoping his surgery is successful to repair the hernia and remove all cancerous tissue!
@ahernandez16: Staying with your mom is a good idea. Also pepper spray.
Also, the hotel would be cheap, but 5 star!
@parsonsperson so glad to hear that the surgery went well!! Double mas is no joke!!
@msbeachnj happy to hear that your dad might get to skip radiation. My dad went through it (he didn't get surgery as the chemo/radiation combo was the first choice as they caught his early), and said it wasn't so much painful as it was uncomfortable and made him want to sleep all day.
Keeping ALL of you guys in my thoughts and prayers for fast healing and no run ins with crazy cousins.
@msbeachnj hope everything goes well. My grandpa had prostrate cancer and after surgery they put these chemo/radiation (I'm not exactly sure I was little when it happened) disks in during the surgery to get rid of the remixing cancer--he never had to go into the hospital for treatments.
Pregnancy hotel sounds awesome!
They found bacteria in my pee, my midwife told me to stop taking so many tums as they can cause small kidney stones that scratch the urinary track and create a uti. Apparently you shouldn't be taking more than 4 tums a day.
It doesn't hurt when I pee yet, but I'm still drinking cranberry juice just in case. Have you guys ever tried cranberry juice? NOT cranberry juice cocktail, cranberry juice?
It's terrible. SO GROSS.
Also, I'm not totally convinced that cranberry juice actually helps flush out uti bacteria, but I guess if it's good enough for my midwife it's good enough for me.
I might actually murder someone. I keep telling myself "this is such a minor thing, stop being dramatic, you are not having a particularly challenging pregnancy all things considered" but then I get another hunger pang and switch right back to "THIS IS A HORRIBLE INJUSTICE WHAT HAVE I EVER DONE TO DESERVE THIS"
@MsBeachNJ - thinking of your dad, you and your family! I hope all goes well
@ahernandez16 I am so sorry you are dealing with this crazy person. Be careful. I feel awful saying this but I don't think she is really pregnant.
@MsBeachNJ keeping your dad and family in my thoughts! Sending positive energy and thoughts his way for a successful surgery and recovery.
@parsonsperson so happy the surgery went well! Such a scary thing to face.

I GOT THE JOB! wooooooo
i start the 18th. Next week will be filled with completing all my back ground checks and online training modules so I can jump right into training with a therapist on the 18th. The company is so amazing and very family friendly. I think it's going to be a great place for me. After my training is complete I will be a certified ABA Therapy Tech. So excited. I think this will be a great fit and so rewarding. Also excited to learn skills that I know will help me with those crazy toddler years! ABA therapy is so awesome and I think it's going to help me in so many different ways in my daily life. So excited to learn more about it!!!
feeling so blessed that I found a good paying job that is so much more than just a paycheck. Thanks for sending all your positive thoughts my way. I know it's helped. Hugs.
Also congratulations @lunagrl79!
So happy everyone's friends and families surgeries went well and pray for a speedy recovery.
@WinniethePoohsPants: I had a kidney stone a couple of months ago--drink yo' juice!! Seriously though, after a UTI in college (so, a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away) I was told to drink cranberry juice by the doctor. So, Idk if there is evidence now that shows it's not as effective as once thought, or whatever, but it certainly can't hurt. Also, like @sdnybrk1 said, lemony water is good, too. Hope you're able to clear it up!
