Re: Group 3 Check In (12/17-12/24) w/o 6/24
I feel like a broken record. I wish I was feeling better. Mostly I have been getting really bad migraines and having to take a lot of time of work. Which means extra work on the days I go back and less money then I need from all the unpaid sick days. It is very stressful and something I need to talk to my doctor about at my next visit.
Rave: how well my husband is handling everything, including most of the Bill's since my paychecks are so short. He is a godsend and I seriously could not be doing this without him.
Do you ever feel guilty for not enjoying your pregnancy more?
I have some preexisting conditions that had us worried I would either never get pregnant or it would be hard to do. Turns out that wasn't the case. But now I feel so guilty for being so miserable all the time. I feel like my body isn't even mind anymore, I'm sick all the time, have no energy and am terrified of giving birth. But I'm also over the moon that we get a baby at the end! I've never wanted anything more then to be a mom. But gosh I hate being pregnant.
Orlando because I am a total nerd. I love all the theme parks, how close it is to the beach, and just everything you can do around there. It is my favorite winter destination to get away from the snow.
endowed human, so I’m enjoying this (for now)!

Rant: my birthday is this weekend and all I want to do is go out to dinner or do something fun just the three of us but my husband keeps saying that it's the monthly neighborhood happy hour and we should go to that instead. I know I'm being bratty, but I don't really care for the host and I always end up having to "be in charge" of our daughter (ie get her food, take her potty, help her warm up to the other children) and don't ever end up having any adult time myself while my husband runs off as soon as we walk in the door to drink and have adult conversations. When I suggest he takes over he looks at me like I'm from outerspace and like he has no idea what I'm talking about. I just don't want to deal with that right now.

Rant: also saw some friends who all have puppies/dogs and we had a pizza night with them all, and during that time they all tried giving me parenting advice (because you know, being a parent to an animal is the exact same as having a human child) ..... I just had a laugh with DH afterwards.
@mrszoobear does your practice give you a list of meds you can take that are safe? I hope you can sort something out!
@ashorkey have you told your hubs you would rather do dinner? It is your bday after all, I vote skip the neighborhood and do what you want!
@janiep81 I also am looking forward to toddler age. I prefer walking and talking, newborns intimidate me mostly because they can’t speak!
@anniemarie887 - Yes, they do have a list of things I can take but none of those help. I just have to wait and see what the doc says next week.
it's safe to say I know exactly how you feel with the family drama. My god, I've never screamed so much at my family the way I did when I found out they had been telling everyone before I was able to announce myself. And I don't regret it. (my mom even made comment when I visited home this past weekend like "Oh we hardly have any drama, and if we do, it's always revolving around you!") I have an aunt who is one of those "score-keepers" too so I made sure we told her before the social media world found out just to save even MORE drama from happening.... smh.
Between four sets of families (both our parents are divorced), and everyone living several states away from each other, it just feels impossible to get the timing right. My mom has a BIG complex about her brother and his kids (she feels like her mom, my grandma, favors them, which is sometimes true). When she found out I wanted to tell everyone (as in, my sisters, my uncles, my cousins) all at the same time, she nearly flipped, and insisted my sisters' feelings would all be very hurt that I didn't tell them BEFORE telling everyone else.
