Re: Petty Problem Saturday! 9/3/16
I had a gift certificate to go to the Cheesecake Factory and I was hoping to also exchange a concealer at Sephora since the restaurant is attached to a mall but this damn mall doesn't have a Sephora. HOW do you have a Louis Vuitton (which I love!) but not a Sephora?! Hello, get it together, mall.
pretty sure we are granted a pass for how we look after a human escapes our loins...
im also sad I didnt buy more steak the other day bc now the store will be busy as hell and I can't deal w that.
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
BFP 02-15-16 with our first
IT'S A BOY!!!
I slept like crap and we have a bunch of people coming over to watch games all day. I just wanna nap.

Ahhh all these football posts. It's fball time already!!! Also nachos.
Had as a small amount of bleeding this morning so I was sent in and am admitted until most likely Tuesday. Bleeding stopped and baby looks good, so no reason to think we will be delivering him while I am here but I did get the steroid shot and that thing hurts soooooooo bad!
I also allowed two students to treat me, so I had 4 people looking at my vagina in L&D which was very awkward, but I feel like if I say no I am doing a disservice. I have a pregnancy complication and it's better for them to learn how to administer care!
@laurapcos thank you!
Getting the Diva Cup removed was not that painful, but it was messy. And embarrassing. As a PSA, the Lunette cup is much easier to remove.
@serenaxo84 sorry to hear about your ordeal! Glad everything is okay... I agree that you have a really great attitude re extra eyeballs and hands being involved in your OB care! That can be very uncomfortable!
I also found myself in hospital this past Thursday for a STAT MRI. I had experienced an aura/migraine, which started with floaties in my left field of vision, then numb left lip, numb left finger & thumb-tips, confusion, nausea and headache. My OB noted all were sign of stroke (yikes!) an sent me to ER (my BP was okay). MRI showed severe sinusitis (unrelated to symptoms) and no sign of stroke, but doctor discussed 3 lesions <2mm each in my brain with me! He wants to do a repeat MRI in 6 months!! I'm pretty scared - anyone else ever have anything like this happen?
@Alikvasnok I had a similar experience in college. I kept passing out and they thought it was a brain tumor. MRI showed mild atrophy in an unrelated region and I was supposed to follow up, but it turned out I had a major case of mono that was causing my symptoms and once I got better I decided not to follow up because all symptoms were gone. It could be something I was born with or an injury from childhood my brain rewired to fix. Yours could easily be the same thing, but they just want to confirm. I have a degree in neuroscience and I can tell you no two brains look alike, so they need a before and after comparison to tell them anything. I wouldn't stress about it!
DS#2 due 25 April 2019
@books&icecream, thank you for the reassurance! Its nice to know I'm not alone...
@ignoscemihi - so sorry you've experienced this as well! Its the first (and hopefully last) time its ever happened to me... Have you always had them? If so, how do you treat them outside of pregnancy?
Also - mine, occurred on a very hot, humid and sunny day, and I feel like it began after I sneezed several times... I thought perhaps I triggered it by sneezing and my not-so-little baby hit my vagal nerve or something...
@alikvasnok I hope you're feeling better! That sounds extremely scary. Do you get migraines? My mother had a stroke when she was pregnant with my brother and sister, she ended up recovering well and while the babies came early, it wasn't due to the stroke.
I wanted chinese for dinner, so we went to the buffet, but they had spring rolls instead of egg rolls. Super sad!
I feel bad because my problem is actually a petty problem and especially looks like one in light of the medical issues surfacing, but this is the best place to put my issue. So here is my (legit) petty problem:
I finally received my dd's preschool packet (on her second day of school) and it shows that her very first field trip ever is on October 7th (eds is the 10th)!
I'm so sad. The options as it stands are:
1. Not let her go
2. Let her go 'alone' with her class
3. Try to see if my mom can take her
I know it's already not fair of me to be upset since there are so many working mothers that would never have the option to begin with but as a SAHM, my dd is rarely ever not by my side. It wouldn't be so bad if my dh could take her, but they are going a solid hour in the opposite direction from where I'm supposed to deliver (so my dh would be 2 hours away from hospital). I feel bad because I don't have an option but for him it would be like having to choose between our two daughters (because there would be a chance he's completely miss my delivery IF I would go into labor).
I think this hits me so hard because when I was in third grade my mom couldn't come to my class field trip to Essex's and I was devastated. She was on her honeymoon. A completely legitimate reason but it didn't matter to 8 year old me. She sent my aunt (her sister) in her place but it didn't matter. I was still miserable. Now there is a big difference between a 3 year olds memory and an 8 year olds so it's likely my dd would never remember but it still reminds me of that situation.
mama guilt is tough and real and it sucks. But I think if you really don't want your DD to go alone, ask your mom- both your DD and mother will be thrilled to spend the time together. But I really think DD will be okay if no one goes and she just goes with her class. It's good for independence!
Also I feel a lot of guilt about being a working mom because I hated that my mom worked when I was 7-8 and my mom also had just had twins. It's a hard transition and that age 7-8 is a hard age. I agree with you that she is 3 and she won't remember but if she does it will be happy memories with your mom!
About the brain stuff, basically we all probably have lesions that we don't know about until we get a scan. It's good to have a baseline or at least a scan that they can compare things to later if something ever did happen or if you were having a new problem. Sounds scary but there's so much that goes on that we are never aware of (and never need to be) that I won't give examples. I just hope you feel better @Alikvasnok!
I laughed when I saw the meme for this thread bc that's basically my petty problem.
I waited many hours, then l tried all the tricks on the website about repositioning it, which had actually worked for me one time before, but eventually had to accept that it was out of reach.
When he got home, he went to look at the little thing that caused me so much anxiety and then he went to throw it away. I literally screamed out "Nooooooooo!" He couldn't believe I wanted to keep it. But I told him that once I figured out the trick to taking it out, there was no way I was going back to tampons for my heavy days.
@jennielu I had small bits of leakage too, I assume cause I'm still learning how to put it in. I might always wear thin panty liners with it. Lol. But my first few days are so heavy that I have to change the biggest size tampon they make every 30 minutes. I'll take the DC and a panty liner over that any day.
