We're now 9 days into Halloween Season... Do I restart American Horror Story with Season 1, because it's awesome? Or pick up at Season 3, because Season 2 is awful (which sucks, because I LOVE Sarah Paulson)? OR, do I cave and watch The Haunting of Hill House (series, not crappy 1999 movie) before the first BIG cold front, because it's supposed to be rainy and dreary this week?
@FyreFlyeRush I suggest the haunting of hill house. I’ve heard it’s good. I couldn’t stick with American horror story after season 2.
Afm, I’m already having trouble bending over. I cleaned and purged ds’ playroom today and I about died. I also had to have ds pick up my phone that I had dropped earlier this morning. It’s going to be an interesting next 20ish weeks.
@kbrown2385 im definitely at the stage when I will kick something under the sofa or leave the letters for dh to lift when I come in if theres nothing for me rather than bend to lift them! Its strictly necessity only for bending!
Since becoming pregnant, sometimes it feels like I no longer really exist as person. It suddenly seems like everything is about baby. Don't stress out the baby. Take care of the baby. Don't do this because of the baby. Don't do that because of the BABY.
I feel like screaming HELLO!! REMEMBER ME?!?! I OCCUPY THIS BODY TOO!
@FyreFlyeRush that's a big pet peeve of mine! The baby is a person and I am too. I don't stop existing. During my first infancy, my MIL had the nerve to question me about something because she didn't want her hurting her baby. Luckily DH handled it, because I almost lost it.
@kbrown2385 ugh! Fleas are the WORST!! We had them a couple summers ago. It was a nightmare to get rid of them for good and my cats ended up with several baths and hated us for days because of it lol
@FyreFlyeRush and @persnickity yes about everything being about baby. My MIL asked today how baby D's (though she uses a different name i find offensive but that's another story) appointment. I passive aggressively wrote back that we were both doing well thank you.... Uggh I'm not just a vessel!
@peppyj9 we had an issue 5 years ago and it was hell trying to get rid of them. The cats have had their meds so hopefully this is an easy fix. If not I’ll be burning down the house.
We got our infant car seat today 🙌 I managed to sell a travel system I didn’t like on Facebook marketplace then got the Chicco Keyfit 30 at Target. Traded in an expired infant seat from DS and got 20% off. Plus if you ordered for same day pickup you got an extra 5% off. I had it ready for pickup at my mom’s store and she got it while out running errands. So yay for having that done and also having one less thing to move with me
This little man is moving so much right now, he woke me from sleep!
Edit: and now he's back in his favorite position, the upper right portion of my uterus and feels like he's trying to push out the top. So much pressure it's painful at times. Babies are so weird in utero.
@stashattack I miss Wegmans!! I went to law school in New York so I got so spoiled by that wondrous place.
@FyreFlyeRush that’s how my last pregnancy was. I felt like DD positioned herself practically at my sternum. So uncomfortable.
My old kitty is really sick. Her appetite has plummeted this week, and the vet diagnosed kidney disease based on some really lousy bloodwork (that’s deteriorated from last readings). She’s getting IV fluids as an outpatient for several days to get her feeling better and stabilized. I’m a wreck. I feel like I missed earlier symptoms the last few months with being preoccupied with pregnancy, DD, and work, so I’ve let her down. I just really hope the fluids and diet change and any other meds/supplements prescribed help her. 😔
@brimarie91 it was the Safety 1st. And it really wasn’t bad. I did use it a good bit with DS and the car seat part was what he used in MH’s car all the time. The car seat just isn’t compatible with many double strollers and especially not the double BOB which is what we plan to get. I need something a little more sturdy to get up and down curbs and also down my mom’s driveway 😂 It’s a little rural lol
Back at the start of the year, I decided I wanted to do a 5k a month. Since my decision in March I've done one a month with the exception of August, but I walked Carlsbad Caverns Natural Entrance in Aug (4.5mi for entrance and Big Room), so that counts!! Before I discovered I was preggers, I signed up for a series of them at a discounted price, with the final 4 being in Sept, Oct, Nov, and Dec. I just went on one of them. I'm proud of myself for doing it 21w pregnant, but my time went from 50m to 1:05, and I'm exhausted!!! And I have another next weekend (at night). I'm re-thinking Nov and Dec, lol.
But to be fair, it's still hot. At 730 it was already 83 degrees, and the humidity is about 85%, with no breeze. Perhaps by October, the weather will be cooler and I'll be OK. I also don't think anyone will question the 8 month pregnant woman turning around early in Dec.

@stashattack I can relate... I went to Ikea this weekend at 9am soon as the store opened, it was beautiful and empty haahha
