@MichelleAG05 i say that almost everyday and i give props to SAHMs. I think being pregnant and with a toddler it’s definitely a different stress level.
@wildtot maybe! I am SO over today. Love her, but wowza. We also desperately need to find a discipline method that works and/or get her to listen to us. She did take a nap today, so that was a plus at least!
@SmashJam haha they can be. Sometimes DS slowly turns around to look at me and he just gives me this weird smerk like if what I’m telling him is a joke. Can’t help but laugh sometimes.
It was around this same time during my last pregnancy that I balled my eyes out when I found out my butt had grown overnight and I got a full length of stretch marks back there. I weighed myself this morning and gained a few pounds since Friday. I’m just waiting for my butt to become giant pillows again. This time I’m actually looking forward to it, because my butt was also the first place I lost weight after giving birth, but my tummy never quite got there, so I would like my body to look proportional again.
When I see a user created just 3 days ago and posts an aw post as soon as their wait period is over and clearly has not lurked or intro'd I call troll and bait
@lindsayleigh1989 while I don't mind a fun random thread I struggle to give a crap or respond politely to new user AW threads. I also feel iffy about new users coming to post what seems to be a ton of MUD and never participating otherwise. I feel bad when I see others being supportive and I'm sitting here all skeptical...
I met with DS’s EI teacher for the first time and she was super nice, more importantly she doesn’t think he has a cognitive delay either. Not that that would be the end of the world, but I know he understands what I’m saying- he just deliberately ignores sometimes.
@kissableviv right... nothings better than when they never even come back for their AW answers. @runsomewhere I struggle to hold back the snark, when it’s someone seeking support I err on the side of support. But, I’m still struggling to understand what kind of elaborate support someone needs in the 1st tri.
@emsnedds You're not alone! I have exactly 1 pair of jeans because I'm just not a pants person, but I wore them on Thursday and they fit just a bit snug. Did the laundry over the weekend, and by Monday the same jeans did not want to get over my butt. Um, what? Not cool! I've been doing a lot of squats lately, so I'm hoping its more that, but who knows!
Has anyone collected bottle caps and told to 1,000 of them will be converted into a treatment for some local child? My DD's school is doing this collection and I can't believe they didn't vet it first. No one knows who the local kid is, and no one can tell anyone what is happening to the caps in the end, like how they convert into dollars for an expensive treatment. The internet is full of info on how this is a bogus collection and no one benefits from it. What I can't figure out is who the hell is benefitting from thousands of bottle caps. Is someone building an eco-friendly house? I am annoyed that ppl do this blindly.

Glad to hear he’s not displaying that delay. But I’m with you on being ignored. Literally my my words when DS was tested and passed. Kids!
I've already informed the person at the school organizing it and she admits that it's odd she can't get any information from the person who claims to know the child who needs help. But she's still doing it anyway! And people are still bringing her caps. I don't get it. @lindsayleigh1989 if it was a collection for actual bottles, I'd get it because they're worth something. Caps...I don't know
@flockofmoosen3 that is such an odd scam and very strange that a school wouldn't have more info on a cause they are promoting.
@acunamatada yay for a good first meeting with EI! Glad your opinion was validated.
@lindsayleigh1989 small shots of whiskey? Just kidding. I am so sorry. I don't get headaches often but had a minor one this morning and was being a major baby about it. I kept thinking of you and how awful it must be to have the major reoccoruing headaches and no relief.
This is not like me, but I still have this monster headache so I downloaded youtube kids for my toddler and she hasn't moved in almost 4 hours other than potty and snacks. Guys... I HAD A NAP. It was glorious!
@wildtot yes! It definitely is! I’ve made stupid mistakes at work and basically that’s why I told my boss - so I could use pregnancy brain as an excuse lol
@ashbub714 i use to be the owner of all bills but after DS my pregnancy brain turned to baby and toddler brain. Probably won’t have my old brain back till after they graduate high school lol
@flockofmoosen3 that is so weird. Also with you on who is benefitting from the scam? Reading that Snopes article it looks like you just take them to the hospital? So is it just to mess with hospital front desk staff?
@lindsayleigh1989 I still have the headache but as long as I am not moving around, it is sooo much more tolerable.
I have been so tired though from staying up late working the past two weeks and running on fumes (I work from home, but can only really do so when my kid sleeps). I have no idea how I am going to survive those first few months after the new one comes along
The kids are doing nothing but arguing over every little thing today. I’m praying for extra patience because I can’t handle the ridiculous bickering. We are also supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow tomorrow and they are already talking about a snow day. Helllllpppppp.
@wildtot pregnancy brain is totally valid. I came all the way to work the other week only to realize I left my laptop at home. My boss just laughed at me and told me to work from home the rest of the day.
