@Backbypopulardemand You've been preparing for this for quite a while now & I'm sure you are more than ready! Just think of what a relief it will be to get it out of the way...all that will be left to do afterwards is pamper yourself and wait for baby!
Because nothing right is going on. They took 3 weeks for my short term disability paperwork to be completed, and they did it wrong. They put the date of my due date at day one of my disability, not when I went on bed rest.
Then, the maternal fetal medicine Dr and my OB both agreed that they would schedule my C/S at 37 weeks. Did they put that in the notes? Nope.... so now I have to wait till I see my MFM on Friday so they can fix that.
They told me that I needed to see my OB every Monday or Tuesday and my MFM every Thursday or Friday. And they are both really booked up....
I have a huge headache, I am swelling, and I in general feel like crap.
@BecauseBabyIamAPug I'm so sorry that you are dealing with all of the paperwork nonsense right now. Those short term disability forms are a real pain. It especially sucks when you already aren't feeling 100%. I hope everything gets straightened out soon!
Today I started crying because my sweet little cat sprained his paw three days ago and it's all swollen and I can't take him to the vet without dipping into maternity leave funds and how am I ever going to be a good mom if I cant take care of a cat?? Ughhhh. Cat seems unbothered by tears, is limping around like a boss and soaking up the extra attention.
Teared up and had to hold back when I went to go read to my son's kindergarten class today. He was so proud to show me and his baby sister off to his friends.
It's second nature to feel pride in the little man I love so much but MY GOD I wasn't ready so see him so proud of us. My heart is soaring to new heights today!
@jwittwer did you see his statement that made the judge give him such a short sentence was released? He said something like "I wish I was never a swimmer so the newspapers wouldn't talk about me" like what? Maybe if you didn't have sex with an unconscious woman, no one would talk about you. They even brought up a case that was basically the same, college athlete blaming his actions on alcohol except he's black and that guy, Corey Batey, got sentenced 15-20 years!
@eymi if it's just a sprain I doubt the vet can do anything besides wrap the leg/paw and prescribe pain meds. Is there an after hours/weekend vet near you that you can go to if you can't get time off of work? Animals are very resilient to pain and even though they may not act like it they may be still experiencing some pain.
@jwittwer did you see his dad's statement? "20 minutes of action"?! I am so angry about this case I can't even handle it! Also ive been in front of the judge who sentenced the guy and I feel all kinds of betrayed by him. Normally, he's so fair, unbiased and sympathetic towards victims of abuse so I don't know wtf happened when he made his decision. I get allllllllll kinds of ragey thinking about it.
@victoria98 I saw that! And... the letter his dad wrote the judge. "20 minutes of action..." WTF.
He said that his son wants to talk about alcohol on campuses. Sorry buddy... if you think that's the biggest issue at hand, you still don't understand the severity of what you did. He still hasn't admitted to any wrongdoing other than the alcohol consumption.
The whole thing is just such a setback for victims of sexual assault.
@jwittwer right! When I read about him doing the presentations all I could think was um getting off the hook isn't as easy as getting into college, extracurricular activities won't make you look better.
I cannot believe that kid's sentence. It's absolutely ridiculous. And that comment the father made infuriates me just as much!!! Wtf...."20 minutes of action" is your response?!?!?!? No wonder your lame ass kid makes such poor choices. Clearly, you've been a great example.
@eymi if it is a sprain there isn't much they can do besides prescribe pain meds. They'll tell you to put him on confined rest. I would go ahead and try and keep him as confined and calm as possible to stay off the foot. If no better after a few days of that may want to take him in in case of a break.
Everything makes me cry these days. Stressed out? Cry about it. Angry? Yep, let's cry about it. Tired? Hungry? Happy? Yeah...my poor husband. I'm ready to meet my little one and end this madness!

Please apply for Care Credit. Most vets accept it as a form of payment and you can make low monthly payments of $25 on your balance.
I feel like everything is giving me the tears today. I keep thinking about how this is my last 24 hours of my own time. I am SO very excited for our little guy but its also a weird feeling knowing the clock is ticking away and it will never be the same in my life again. Tears this morning were shed: hugging my dogs, looking around our house, writing a thank you card, and while watching x-men. Nothing is making sense! haha
@theshannondee I'll be thinking about you! Sending you lots of love and prayers for safe delivery! I cannot even imagine how excited and scared you are right now! All the emotions!!
Clicked the "on this day" tab on facebook and an old vine video of my son popped up. I signed into my old vine account and watched videos of him from 3 years ago. Lost it. Cutest kid ever. I had forgotten about a lot of them and they were so precious.
@theshannondee totally understandable! I'm not in your situation but I keep telling my husband "we only have 3 Fridays left together before we are never alone again! We gotta go on a date" and stuff like that. Sending lots of good thoughts and positive vibes to you tomorrow!
My baby girl turns two tomorrow and I'm way more emotional than I was for her first birthday. I think knowing that her life is about to be turned upside and just how big she has gotten is giving me all the feels tonight.
