DD1 woke up in the middle of the night so I went to hang out in her room... Her bed is NOT comfortable. @moguippy so yep having a tired Monday with you
I taught the little one how to get in and out of the bunk in the camper by himself. And I was also awake from 4-6 am but it was from a mix of insomnia and a raging party from #3 kicking a ton and giving me BH that was the culprit. 🤨
I only have a fur child right now so I can't relate yet on children waking me up but my dog decided to randomly start throwing up on the carpet around 4am. I think the sound of my dog (or a child) puking should be my alarm clock because nothing gets me out of bed faster.
@babyturtle22 we have two cats and I can totally relate. Between random puking, chasing each other like lunatics at 2am, knocking crap off my dresser and walking across my face, they wake me up as much as my DS lately.
I literally just got off of the phone with one of our parents, who wanted to run their idea by me of getting together with the other grandparents to buy us a large baby furniture item for x-mas after specifically having a lengthy discussion with said parent less than a week go that DH&I didn't know if we wanted one or not.
@WildMagelet That's super annoying. I guess it's at least a positive that they called you first before going and actually buying it. But still. They should've gotten the hint when you told them that you were still undecided.
Random: DS is still biting at school. Hubby is off thursday and friday this week so I told him he had to keep our son home with him and he was soo annoying about it "I have stuff to get done" I'm like.... I am NEVER home without him, figure it out. mennnnnnnn
I love my dad. Like so much. But sometimes I get so disappointed in him. He has no patience or tolerance for my kids because they are not “seen and not heard.” And he is 75 so he doesn’t do disruptions to his life very well. I just want my kids to have one set of grandparents who are a huge part of their life and MH’s parents are out because they have favorite children and favorite grandchildren. Even though they see mine less, they will ignore my kids to focus their attention on the ones they see daily. 😕 Anyway. It was just a crap night and my dad hurt my feelings and probably my five year old’s feelings and it makes me sad.
@mdfarmchick I know what you mean. My mom is great, but as she has gotten older the noise really bothers her. Sometimes she has a super short temper about it. But my in laws are the exact same way. My niece and nephew live with my husband's parents full time (with their parents as well), and when we are together they basically get all the attention even though we live like 2 hours away and they never see my kid or my other nieces basically ever. Its super frustrating!
@mdfarmchick I’m sorry, that sucks. I feel like grandparent relationships are so tricky and change so much when they go from being your/DH’s parents to grandparents and it sounds like this has only been getting harder over the course of your kids’ lives for you.
@mdfarmchick - One set of SS/SD's grandparents have their clear favorite child/children too =(
I'm sorry you're dealing with that with your dad. If my dad was pulling that and hurt the 5yo because he was being a giant douche I would likely get into it with him. Have you called to his attention how he's acting towards them and how that might be the only thing they remember about him when they're older and he's gone if he doesn't start trying to foster a better relationship? It makes me sad for all of you.
@mdfarmchick I’m so sorry. I can relate to that. My dad has very little patience with my kids as well. DHs parents could GAF about our kiddos.
I failed my 2 hour GTT. My fasting was 97 so I didn’t even get (or have?) to drink the drink. Idk why I’m feeling so down about it. I had it with my daughter, but not my last pregnancy.
@roadspeckle ugh that’s so close to the threshold of normal, too! 🤦♀️ Will you be able to control it through diet, or do they think you’ll need insulin? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. I’m not familiar with how GD is managed.
@roadspeckle Bummer that you failed by so little! do they make you take the 3 hour test? or is that just your final answer. There are a few of us in this group, myself included that have it also. I failed at 16 weeks so I've been chugging along for 10 now... only 14 more to go! With being so close to the limit,and since you've had it before i'm sure you know the drill but I'm guessing you can easily just watch your diet and be okay! When i failed I was bummed (and still am about the holidays coming up, UGH) but It has been a good reason to eat healthier and I have gained 1/6th of the weight so far that I gained last time, so at least there was an upside.
@mdfarmchick that is so tough. My dad gets really annoyed with tantrums and would rather just give in to what DS wants. We were at my parents house for dinner on Wednesday and my DS had a full blown crying screaming tantrum at the dinner table bc we wouldn’t let him just eat French fries for dinner. I could tell my dad was annoyed. Luckily he didn’t say anything but i get super bummed when he tells me to just give into tantrums to make it stop, like somehow it’s my fault my kid is upset and not developmentally able to express it in a calm manner. Luckily DS is too little to realize what my dad is saying for now. If my dad said something mean directly to my DS I would be sooooo pissed.
@roadspeckle bummer that you failed. I actually passed mine around 15 weeks but I still have to check my sugars and watch what I eat anyway. I was fine until about a week ago when I noticed my numbers are creeping up. So I’m assuming it’s just a matter of time until I can’t control them with diet/exercise anymore. I didn’t have GD with my first. Hopefully you can just get by with diet/exercise! Although the finger sticks are super annoying.
I woke up at 4am super nauseous, thought I was gonna puke. I actually remember that in the dream I woke up from that I was super nauseous in the dream. Weird. I have a lot to do today and I’m super tired, but excited for Halloween!
@WildMagelet I do talk to him about it but not in the moment. He has heart problems and when he’s already upset I don’t want to push him into having to take a nitroglycerin. ☹️
@moguippy my dad is actually the opposite of that. I think I would be equally annoyed at my parents wanting me to bribe my kids out of big feelings/tantrums. My dad wants me to punish them for big feelings/tantrums and make them stop right now.
It makes me sad that so many of us have ILs that plays favorites. 😕
Thank you for your words of encouragement ladies! I was able to manage by diet before and will this time too. Today is day one and so far my numbers are good. Now just need to sit down and meal plan.
@hannahbananas11 - I don't know, they posted the same thing on like 8 BMBs. According to their other posts, they're from the April board, all of which they've made in the past 8 days (including reviving some months old weekly update threads going back to August). I haven't decided if I think they're trolling or just don't know how forums work in general.
@jumpy57 Me too. For my F'19 bmb, I didn't share any info about DS's birth to this site. I just shared it to our private FB group. Way too many weirdos around the internet to share info that could be mined for identity theft, especially info that isn't my own (I for one wouldn't be thrilled if I knew that my parents shared my picture and birthdate/location/whatever else on a public internet forum).
Speaking of Facebook, what are y'all thinking about that? We can start a thread specifically for the logistics of it as we get closer to the move. But maybe sometime in mid to late December? We'll probably get our first babies arriving sometime in January, and it's nice to be able to share the "I'm in labor!" news privately instead of on here. Plus Facebook is a much better platform in terms of bugs/usability. I think my F'19 moved a few days before Thanksgiving to a private Bump group, which was pretty pointless because we hated the platform, so we moved to Facebook from the private Bump group about a week later.
@hannahbananas11 I don't think it hurts to put up a thread to start discussion. We can talk about when to move and how to approve people and if we go Facebook or if someone has a different idea 👍 it would give people a chance to speak up and join in our get things arranged with less holiday madness
@babymamadimo that's what I thought too! I only opened it because I thought maybe someone was going through an insane experience. I suppose it's lucky it's just spam instead of someone braving our current early survivability!
