Ugh, I fell yesterday in my kitchen. We were having a BBQ and someone must've spilled something on the floor. I was wearing flip flops and slipped on it. I went backwards but must've overcorrected myself because I ended up falling to the floor on my knees. It scared me so I started crying. I feel okay - I had been having a lot of stretching and pinching feelings before it happened so I felt a couple later on last night. I called my doctor and she said I didn't need to come in but part of me wishes I could just to make sure!
My dreams are starting to get weird...and they're all really violent and morbid. What is wrong with my head? Saturday night I had a dream that I found a little girl's body by my house and freaked out so I buried her in my basement and the whole town was out looking for her. Last night I had a zombie/The Walking Dead dream.

I totally get The Walking Dead dreams. Post-apocalyptic, blowing people away, hunting through the woods, all that. I wake up feeling like a murderer or badass. Mostly badass, I only kill bad people.
I always try to tell DH what amazing feats I just accomplished, but it comes out sounding cray.
My toddler gave me the rest of her cereal bar so I thought she was done and I took a bite. Oh hell no mommy. What was I thinking? She grabbed it back, looked me in the eye, and crushed it in her hand. Crumbs everywhere. I'm a little scared of her right now.
She has now gotten a broom and is attempting to sweep the crumbs off the couch.
Awesome Kid #1: Born September 2013! Awesome Kid #2: Due November 2016!
I came downstairs this morning to my lovely DD adding art to the wall...aka about 30-40 Dora stickers and one was circles in pencil - she must have liked that one the most
My nausea held off almost all morning! DD got to play on the swing set and draw with chalk and have a lovely little morning before I had to bring her back inside. We even read a bunch of books before I had to set her back in front of the tv watching cartoons again so I could collapse. Progress! Maybe I really will feel better for the second tri this time!
A couple I know is having a baby and just did a gender/ name reveal. They did the one where the man shoots the box and dust comes out. Ya know the one that's been all over Facebook the past week or so. Granted my husband would probably want to shoot something too so that's not necessarily the bad part. It's the combination of events. They are naming their daughter with the middle name Bri.stol and their last name starts with a P and ends in an IN sound. I laughed for hours and I'm still not over it this morning. I have a wonderful Sarah Palin GIF for such an occasion but my phones giving me a hard time. Dammit.
LOFT is having an additional 40% off their sale and they seem to have a decent selection of maternity clothes left. Got some tops and shorts. And obviously I needed a necklace to go with my new outfit. And a scarf. And some shoes. Oops...
My family took me out to eat for Mothers Day yesterday and today I have tasty leftovers for lunch. I woke up late this morning and skipped breakfast so I'm contemplating first lunch at 9:30am
My mom stresses me out so much yesterday paired with work stressing me out I slept for 3 hours last night (woke up 330 this morning). Around 8 I decided to call in sick and slept until noon and it was wonderful. However I'm still avoiding my mom and we currently live in her basement apartment.
Being sick while taking care of a toddler is the worst. Of all the days I need a real nap, of course he sleeps 30 minutes. I pushed and was a good mom until 2 hrs ago. We've been watching Curious George and Sesame Street on rotation since then. 3 hrs till bed. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
My mom just texted me to ask if it would be a good idea for her to go to Florida on vacation from Nov 13-20. We live in NJ. She knows her first grandchild is due on the 2nd. After I stated the obvious, she's now acting like she's not going to go and it's this big sacrifice she's making for me. I bet she'll talk about how she's missing out all November.
@whaat, that sounds annoying! My mom stayed with us for the first two weeks after DD was born and having her help was invaluable. Then my MIL stayed with us for a week and I was counting down the days until she left. MIL is a lovely person but her way of helping didn't mesh well with what I wanted/needed.
I might just tell her to go if she wants so I wouldn't have to hear about her "sacrifice".
@shevaCC yeah I regret not just telling her to go. I'd rather her feel guilty (for potentially missing the birth?) than have her force me to feel guilty. She's very selfish and manipulative, but I'll need her help so.. *shrug*
Girl, more power to you. I could not deal with my mom with my first. I may end up needing her to distract DS when we take home this baby and I'm dreading it. @whaat
With my 1st my mom came a week before my due date. Ds was born 9 days late. It was awful. All I wanted to do when I got home from work was sleep but felt obligated to entertain. Then was not very helpful when I got home. That is one of the main reasons im leaning toward a repeat c section.
Married Nov. 3rd, 2012 DS Born 12/20/13 #2 EDD 11/20/2016
I'm so excited about people being happy for us this pregnancy! With our DD we were 17 when I got pregnant, no one tends to be happy about teenagers having a baby. It will be so nice to hear 'congratulations' this time instead of 'I'm sorry'.
I had a super explicit sex dream about my co worker and now I get all giggly when I see him! Its so awkward lol. I've also discovered that I can live off a box of crackers for the full day which is all I wanted. 11 days till a 3 day long weekend out of town! I'm so excited to do some much needed shopping. I might be getting a new car but I'm not excited
I bought a snoogle pillow, as I have been uncomfortable at night. Everyone seems to love them, but I get too hot and the part for my head is too firm I'm hoping it will flatten out a bit as I use it and I just need to adjust to it. It has helped me stay on my side at night, just wish I didn't wake up with a sore neck...

@Megz1902 I've been using mine for about a week or so and it's definitely softened at the head part. It makes me a bit hot too but I've just adjusted my blankets and I seem to have found a happy place with it... hope you do to!
@megz1902 I don't like my snoogle either! I think the head part is super uncomfortable. The one time I slept with my head on it I could barely move my neck in the morning. Then I started shoving the head part behind my bed or on the side but it just got too difficult because I move around a lot. I really wanted it for in between my legs so I got the Boppy wedge pillow. Maybe as time goes on I'll try the Snoogle again but I like the Boppy for now!
I can't say enough good things about this one. It's like sleeping in a soft nest and you get back and belly support.
I live for this thing, I can't wait to get into bed with it. I catch my husband snuggling into it, my cat sleeps in it and my son wants to only nap in it. You can position it a bunch of ways and it also works later for nursing, if you choose.
My embarrassing, sappy story for today... I started literally sobbing while power walking at the student rec center at the college where I work.
I had my headphones in, listening to my Spotify, when Ray LaMontagne's "Empty" came on. It was one of my favorite songs to listen to in high school whenever I was feeling lonely and wanted to daydream about someday being married with a family. The emotions hit me all at once as I thought about how I've now been given everything I used to wish for, and how much better it all is than I even knew to expect back then. (Yeah, my daydreams never involved living in a crappy basement apartment for the first year of marriage, or throwing up multiple times a day during pregnancy, but the feeling of love and family is so much greater in reality than it is in a daydream...) It's so easy for me to get lost and discontented in the mundanity of daily life, I was very thankful for the reminder from good ol' Ray (and my hormones) of how good I have it.
Luckily all the students are gone for summer break now, so there was no one else on the track to see me crying.
OMG I hadn't seen that yet! When is it going to be released???
