@lavenderlisa oh my goodness...that must be so hard to hear. Sorry you have to be part of it...but I agree it's good that she's at least asking your advice! Sounds like you are a source or voice of stability in her world. I really hope she listens to it...that poor little kiddo.
@lavenderlisa ugh what is wrong with some people? I’m so sorry you have to deal with her and him, but at least you are giving her solid, good advice. You can feel good about that, and maybe someday she will listen
I'm glad she asked my advice, lets just hope she takes it. Honestly im not hopeful. They are very irrational people. Thanks for the support yall, it feels good to get that mess off my chest.
Very minor complaint, all things considered, but my dog woke me up at 530 and I couldn't get back to sleep because pregnancy insomnia has started apparently. and I need to work a 12 hour day today, so I am SO GRUMPY.
@maureenmce Hopefully you can get through your day! Baby is consistently waking me up for awhile around 3-4 in the morning with her dance parties. It take a bit to fall asleep and then I'm in and out of sleep until 6-7 when I have to get up. I'm still sleeping pretty well from like 10:30ish - 3 am though... so at least I'm getting some good sleep! Hopefully you'll get to sleep in this weekend.
@maureenmce ooh I know how you feel. My dog nosed me awake at 430 earlier in the week and couldn't go back to sleep.
My back is killing me last couple of days. I think it's all the sitting at work. Fx that my chiropractor appointment Monday works magic (never seen a chiro before) because I'm not sure if I can survive for 3 more months.
Thanks @lavenderlisa and @omnommer ! And I'm so sorry your doggo woke you up too @hannelorre ! I love my dog so much...except when I'm pregnant, and then he drives me crazy, haha.
Today I actually have something to bitch about! It’s a small thing, but still a thing.
I’m getting fairly irked that some people around me don’t quite realize what being 6 months pregnant is like...Me and my husband help teach at a martial arts school and the main instructor keeps scheduling crap on weekends (which we don’t have enough of as it is), and then is getting frustrated when we say we simply can’t make those dates. We have to get ready for this baby and the 1st 5 months has been dedicated to literally everyone else in our familes and at this school, we need the next month or 2 before I get really crazy sore to do things, like get the nursery painted and stuff O.o This guy even tried to schedule an out of state thing, in October, during weekdays. I’m due in December, and my husband has to save his pto for the *baby*! Like even if I didn’t need to be close to my doctor, why would he think I want to be crazy active all day and then stay in a hotel room for multiple days, and us spend pto on it as opposed to spending it on time to be with our girl when she’s born? And then gets mad that we say we’re not doing it.
I just hate when people think they are the only ones in the universe.
@maureenmce I'm happy that everyone is getting better, whew. Hopefully you'll all be in perfect health until...next summer (at least). @PensiveCrayon Yay for the camper life! Is A having fun? @lavenderlisa Goodness, your BIL & SIL are making me crazy all the way over here As a person who struggled to get pregnant at all I have zero tolerance for folks who are casually impulsive with the lives of others. Regardless, I hope the kids one day realize that their dramatic home lives are not normal for everyone, and that many families/parents don't fight everyday and thrive in peace.
My tiny bitch is just my indecisiveness...I can't decide what I want to eat. Usually I am the first to decide food matters, but today? Forget about it. I just want all of the food. Pancakes, waffles, french toast, bagels. I want them all and as a result I am fixed to my couch -frozen by the paradox of choice- just drinking plain water. Ugh.

@echo-charlietango what the heck take a bite of all the choices lol. You only get an excuse to eat like a beast a few times out your life. Yeah lets hope they dont carry on the same traits as their parents. Poor kids dont have many stable relationships to look to for guidance.
@lavenderlisa I wish I had more opportunities to eat like a wild animal...maybe one day I'll get back to swimming and pretend that I'm training for the Olympics just so I can eat like Michael Phelps
I decided on chocolate chip pancakes (frozen!) with blackberry jam, and a glass of milk. Now, I am thinking about lunch
But on a serious note, my squishy little heart is always so sad for kids who aren't exposed to stable relationships. It makes me want to foster all of the children, but that just isn't possible.

@echo-charlietango I have frozen chocolate chip waffles every morning with my 2 year old..... no shame! But yes i understand, mh and I plan on doing our best to adopt that baby if she doesnt want him when he is born. I cant help all the babies but I can try to atleast take care of the ones in my family.
So bitchy of me but I just noticed that my husband scratched paint off of the brand new baby dresser we got. It's super noticeable too am I am irrationally upset about it.
My bitch is my own fault - I *know* that I can't have smoothies because they really irritate my reflux and give me a messed up stomach for hours, but I haven't had one for months so today I finally caved and had half of a small one anyway. And now my stomach is super messed up and my reflux is acting up. I did it to myself, and I can't say it was worth it exactly, but at least it was pumpkiny and delicious and I cannot wait to go on a smoothie and salad binge as soon as this child is born and my reflux goes away.
@maureenmce boo. Sorry you are suffering for the smoothie.
@lexidawg I would be annoyed too, especially if it was somewhere really obvious.
My BF is that I caught whatever bug is going around the family (my niece, my daughter and then my mom all had it). Fx but so far I seem to have the mild version. I don’t have a fever, no runny nose, and I only kind of feel crappy. But I have a nasty mucusy cough and my lungs hurt.
I am exhausted and hit my limit for the day. Everybody in my house is touching me, why? I feel so ill and my hip is out of place (this happens pregnant or not from time to time). I just yelled at my 16 year old dog for breathing his hot dog breath on me while I was trying to eat, hoping food would make me feel better. Well hot breath totally grossed me out instead. Now I know I am overreacting to some extent but not really. Being sick for 26 weeks is hard. Anyways what really made me mad was my husband sees I am done and like the good husband he is he gets everyone away from me but then say “oh boy, mommy is losing it”. I’m pissed. I realize this also isn’t a walk in the park for the rest of our family but come on.
Its ok @LLynde5 give yourself a break. I lost my shit a few weeks ago because my 2 year old was crawling all over me. I did not want to be touched to the point I cringed everytime he touched me. And I absolutely love my sons cuddles and playing. It was just a bad day and he wasnt listening to me when I nicely told him to stay off mommy. Then he KICKED me in the stomach. I literally told my 2 year old to "get the f*** off me"........ I know im the worst mom ever. Then I immediately felt horrible and hugged and kissed him and said sorry over and over, that mommy just didnt feel good. Then went upstairs to cry in the shower........Im pretty sure that was way worse than what you yelled at the dog. People lose it sometimes, and pregnancy is tough. Men can also be insensitive sometimes. Expecially when they don't realize how sensitive we are at the moment. Sending you creepy hugs.
@lavenderlisa you are going to be the stability and sanity in those kids' lives. And it's amazing of you to be so willing to adopt her child! You have a huge heart
@LLynde5 definitely give yourself a break, and kindly remind YH that you are 6 months pregnant and maybe need a break (and some sympathy!).
@maureenmce so sorry about your reflux. I still haven't figured out what triggers mine. I ate greasy and spicy Chinese the other day, fully expecting to regret my choices, but no reflux. Today I ate A BANANA and boom, reflux. What the heck? I guess it's a good thing you know what to avoid, even though it stinks.
@Katzalia oh no, feel better! At least it's a mild version of whatever they had.
My BF is pretty minor too. SO and I were SUPPOSED to go to Cape May tonight for dinner at a really nice place, and I had been looking forward to it all week to get away from our craziness. This morning it was raining and he decided he didn't want to drive all the way there in the rain So instead of enjoying a lovely dinner together, we spent the day wallowing and overthinking all our decisions about our dog. So much for a day to get away. We rescheduled for next weekend, but still...
@LLynde5 aww I'm sorry you are having a rough weekend. Hope today was better!
My tiny tiny BF is that the chiropractor called and rescheduled me for later in the week. I was reaaaaaaally looking forward to that appointment (was supposed to be Monday, now it's Thursday).

@lexidawg That would upset me too. Can you touch it up?
@maureenmce I’m sorry you are struggling so much with the reflux. That would be so annoying!
