i asked for extra hot sauce on my buffalo chicken wrap today at lunch as last week they were a bit mean with it. Well boy am i regretting that! my mouth is on fire, my nose is running like a tap & these babies are going crazy!!
My chiro let me have a free float in their new float tank today. What an experience! The babies loved it and moved like crazy and it was so odd floating weightless. I got a little motion sick and had to open the lid and breathe some fresh air for a few minutes, but I’d definitely try it again. I’m so relaxed and it was so nice to not be in pain for an hour.
DS1 is with his dad this week, so he gave me his stuffed racoon to keep me warm at night while he's gone. SO had to go get his mother from the airport, and isn't sure he'll make it back before the freezing rain, so he left me a present. I've dug out the down duvet and have my bedroom window open to enjoy this super cold and wonderful weather... But for now, I'm just enjoying SOs present with cocoa and GBBS Beginnings and a nice peaceful evening alone.
I'm jelly of all of you who are getting overheated. I'm still my normal, always cold, self. I was looking forward to being a lil furnace but that hasn't happened yet.
@marebear15 and @stashattack I am in the same boat with both of you as far as temperature goes. Last pregnancy I had this "disorder" called nipple vasospasm really bad that was triggered by even the slightest cold draft. Thank goodness it has only happened once or twice this time. It is the most intense pain that seems to ripple through the body.
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k we got the bundle that comes with espn+ and Hulu. I was very overwhelmed looking through all the options on the Disney app yesterday lol. Ds is already loving being able to watch all his shows and toy story.
In the job I almost never get to do anything in....I'M WORKING TODAY!!! I'm so happy! I'm spending a lot of time waiting on the server to respond, but I don't feel useless ATM!
Put on my Kpop and JPop playlist, and I'm at my desk head bopping my way through a list of broken systems. Yay!
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k I wish! We live in the boonies and can’t stream on the internet 😭
DS spent his first night in his big boy bed and he stayed in it all night. He only woke up once. I had to go lay down with him for a few minutes but I am calling it a success. Not sharing the bed for half the night is so nice
Just got an email to say all the new baby stuff we ordered ages ago is going to be delivered on friday. That along with todays appointment is making everything feel a bit too real! 😬
We bought our crib and mattress last night. This morning, walking out into the living room, I stopped for a second wondering what it was. Then came the mild panic that follows.
That moment when you realized the movie that changed your life began filming 20 years ago. Is that silly to say? Maybe. I can live with that...but I can't live without this:
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k we have it! DD is princess obsessed so we have already watching sleeping beauty, the little mermaid, and aladdin. Probably too much screen time but oh well.
For those of you who have verizon unlimited mobile plans or verizon fios I've heard we can we can Disney+ free for a year. I still need to confirm this though!
It’s 1235 and i was woken up to my right hand in excruciating pain and numb. It’s been about 10 minutes trying to wake it up and to get it to stop hurting. So far it’s only been my left hand needing a brace but apparently I need one for my right now too
@c1kc1kpol1cn1k you have issues with carpal tunnel don’t you? Have any tips besides using a brace? I’ve had to wear mine all morning. If I take it off my fingers go numb and the pain comes back.
@kbrown2385 yes but what I found helps also is doing specific stretches for your wrist's and hands at night to help ease it. Also prenatal yoga really helped with this if you let the teacher know they will do specific stretches or ways to help the wrists. Also sleeping with your hands elevated/ supported arms, I have them propped up on a pillow
@kbrown2385, I will say it went away for me within a few weeks of birth, maybe 3 or 4? By the time I delivered, my middle, ring, and little fingers of both hands were completely numb. Braces didn't help. I had a lot more swelling last time, but everything did come back.
@kbrown2385 sometimes back stretches can even help as stress and swelling/pinching in your neck can cause numbness down your arms and into your hands. Just brainstorming some ways to get relief. It sounds miserable!
Came home from vacation to find out furnace completely shut off. We flipped it back on, only to have it shut off again about 30 minutes later. Discovered it melted the breaker and part of the panel. Dealing with cold temps, so trying to keep our pipes from freezing. Love the fact that it's a weekend and we have to get a permit from the city, which means we're not able to really get the work started until Monday. Fun times
@persnickity, ugh. This is why I'm dealing with no heat. The AC sprung a leak one year, and shorted out the thermal coupling on the furnace, and the entire HVAC system has to be replaced for the low low price of 10K. Luckily, in South Texas, Temps are usually only that cold 10 days out of the year, and the AC works great, so it's easy to make do with space heaters. Living much further north, tho...i can't imagine.
@EmilyE13 The good news is that the electrician was able to repurpose a different breaker, so we get limited use of the furnace. The earliest we can get things replaced is Friday, but we at least are home and not worried about the pipes anymore. We got so lucky!

@c1kc1kpol1cn1k I’ll have to look up stretches! I bought a second brace and I’m going to try icing my wrists too to see if that helps.
