I resent all my friends houses because they can decorate so fantastically amazing. Meanwhile I'm over here looking like a hodge podge of randomness that doesn't go well together. I just don't understand how they are so great at these things. Was there some class I missed in school? I guess maybe I missed that day.
@supercoolstephy I must have missed that day too. I see pics of people's houses on fb, even on here on bump day and find myself so envious. DH always says our house looks like a college house, all the mismatched stuff...But that's my best effort!
@TInman87 yes! We bought our house over a year ago and I just put up a few pictures of the SS and DS. I have this canvas map that I wanted to get rid of before we moved here but DH talked me into keeping it. It's for a kids room. Its currently hanging above my TV in the living room. It doesn't go with either rooms for these kids. But I also don't have anything to replace it so it just stays there, mocking me. I really need to get rid of it. Now, I'm super pumped about decorating this newbs bedroom. I can decorate a girly room, I've got that girl stuff down pat, my girl apartment before DH and I got together was wonderful, but I can't get this house thing together. I'm trying. But not hard enough.
Oh and another. My OB office called to schedule my twice weekly monitoring and I had originally told them I wanted to do them on Mondays and Thursdays, that way if something happened and they did send me to L&D that I wouldn't cause any issues with DH picking up SS from his mom. Well, they called and then said I'd have to go into the hospital to do my NST scan on Christmas and New Years day because those holidays fall on a monday. Umm... hmmm... nope. Not gonna happen. I know how much L&D charges for that, and I know that my OB includes that in my prenatal appointments, so 1. no for that and 2. no because I'm not going to the hospital or the OB office on my favorite holidays, and miss the ROSE PARADE, if I can avoid it. So now I'm doing them on Tuesdays and Fridays and I don't feel bad at all. Fingers crossed I don't get sent to L&D for my appointments on Friday's but I think I'll be fine since those are just ultrasound appointments anyway.
@TInman87@sbishop426 I don't think the hospital charges more for the holiday. BUT I normally do them at my OB office, who doesn't charge because it's all part of the prenatal care that I've already paid, but since they'd be closed, I'd have to go to the hospital to do the NST test, which would be considered a hospital visit still.
@supercoolstephy our house was pretty mismatched for a while especially on decorations. I figured out for the walls that the best thing to do is to print out canvases (you can actually get them pretty reasonably priced and good quality) of places we have been and taken pictures of. So basically our whole house’s “theme” if you will is “where in the world had Cricket99’s family been”. None of it matches per say, but it definitely all goes together and works. I have trouble just buying stuff from big box stores that’s all generic and everyone has. When i used to so that my house definitely looked like college kids lived there.
This is kind of a lame confession but my toddler gets fed whatever leftovers my husband and I are tired of. He doesn’t mind it and no food is wasted so win win. And of course the dog eats what the toddler throws on the floor so I don’t have to sweep every time— that may be all this dog is good for, he’s not very bright.
I am a cry baby today ... I am so over this pregnancy now... Just want this LO out( but healthy and no risks)... But, just fed up with the crazy movements(which some of you love so much) that keep me awake all night, doesn't let me rest at all, just wants me on my feet walking around with my swollen feet... Which i just am done with... . No rest is making me zombie and a b***h who can just snap at anyone for no reason or mistake making situations worse... I can see some of us are going through a lot than this, but i am drained of all the energy right now and just counting days... Even after which my sleepless nights won't end... Of course... But at least i won't have this melon stomach with which i am unable to do anything and everything.... Also waiting eagerly for getting NORMAL.... like able to do basic things like normal humans do... Am i asking tooo much Ladies feeling lonely today and hating being pregnant.... Feels like FOREVER.... COME ON 10 weeks.... Fly..... Pleaseee.
@sonalisharma I am feeling the EXACT same way...sooooo wishing this was over, which of course makes me feel like i'm a bad mother or not being grateful for getting to be a mother and all that. It's such a conflicting bundle of emotions, but i'm struggling with sleeping and getting my blood sugar levels stabilized, and sometimes it makes me so upset/frustrated that i just want to give up. I am ashamed to say the thought actually crossed my mind "How early can i have an elective c-section?". I sat and cried/vented to DH last night for a few hours, and he did a really good job picking me up and being supportive. I just wanted to let you know you're not alone with how you're feeling!
Thank you @kelk5 and @gilsam1. Also feeling like a bad mother but this is what i am feeling right now, can't hide feelings anymore, at least venting these make my mind feel a less of burden. DH is supportive too. And also thanks again for being here to listen to my thoughts
@sonalisharma I feel the same. Totally over pregnancy and do not like the feeling of movement in my belly. I get why people do but other than telling me my kid is doing alright it freaks me out and is uncomfortable. I also have RLS so I'm constantly having to move around to feel normal! I've also lost my depth perception with this belly. I knocked over sooo many things yesterday with my belly it was ridiculous! Just know you are not alone!
Thank you @conineml.. Same about knocking with my belly, over kitchen counter, and places like restaurants, i just get stuck and have to ask for help, makes me feel even more uncomfortable. And constant walking with swollen feet makes me loose my balance sometimes... Hope you get some relief too
I've been feeling the same way too. Over being pregnant, done with work, done with toddler parenting. And then I remember that the end of pregnancy doesn't exactly make life any easier. Recovery has physical limits to, and the baby now attached by an umbilical acord just becomes attached by the boob and the insomnia keeping me up right now just becomes a crying newborn. And it all just makes me want to crawl in bed and never come out. But I do come out, and see my sweet, giggling toddler... And life is good. Exhausting, but good.
