How are you feeling?: posted in symptoms at the end of last week, but my nipples have been killing me lately. They were for a while but went away for a bit. Came back at the end of the week with a vengeance, air/clothes/sheets/movement everything feels like razors. Insomnia has started, so that’s fun and I think causing me to be extra short-tempered.
Rants/Raves: Definite rant. There is apparently baby shower drama going on. I was told a few weeks ago that I got to plan it, but I guess there’s plans going on and none of them are mine (which, whatever, but c’mon drama?!). We’ll be having three separate mini-showers now. Plus my mom made a comment about how I’ve already had a shower so it doesn’t really matter (9yrs ago and not with MH), so my husband is now sad/feels like he doesn’t matter and vented to me last night about all the drama I was unaware of. That of course caused me to break down in tears bc all the emotions, and then I cried more bc he was already feeling bad and felt horrible that he made me cry. I am now over it and don’t even want a shower, blah
Questions: NATM
GTKY: What is the weirdest/dumbest/most interesting way you have ever been injured? Getting off the ski lift with my snowboard. It was the first run my friends trusted me to do by myself, they left me while they went to go do a run on a more advanced hill. I wound up on the lift next to a little kid on skis, we get to the top of the lift and the kid puts his pole right where I would need to get off the lift. I panicked a bit, realized I was running out of time to get off the lift, and tried to do a little hop over the kid’s pole. I failed. My board with my leg attached went to the left, and my body went to the right. Took about 5 minutes before the guys in the little house even noticed there was a person on the ground not moving, they dragged me off to the side, ski patrol came, and I got patrolled down the hill. I was told it was an ankle sprain, finished out the weekend and came home to get xrays. Xrays said it was a sprain, a week and a half later I got a call saying they looked at xrays again and it was actually a break. It never healed quite right and I’m sure it was because I wasn’t treating a break for the first few weeks. Ah well, them’s the breaks.
@whatabout2ndbreakfast Sorry the appraiser was so harsh, here’s hoping yh (and maybe you) can blow through the items that need to be fixed quickly
@penny624 Oh so I’m not the only one whose friends have kicked their legs out from under them? I figured I just had punk friends in college lol
Rant - went to the grocery store today. Picked up a 12 pack of soda, which was open on one end, so all the cans rolled out in every direction. About 5 people were in the vicinity and zero offered to help as I scrambled to pick up the cans. One lady even kicked one of the cans accross the aisle as she walked through the mess. She was like 70 years old, but even then I came close to being like "thanks alot for your help!" 😬
A few years ago, I was a bridesmaid at my friend's wedding. I didn't know any of the other bridesmaids, and they were all super quiet... We were all sitting there waiting for events to begin, in the most awkward silence, so I started hitting the champagne pretty hard. (I should mention I'm a total lightweight). About a bottle later, it was time for pictures, so I decided to get out the steamer to quickly get a wrinkle out of my gown. But I was drunk, and put the steamer together wrong. Boiling hot water and steam shot all over dress and my upper thigh. It was excruciating, and I felt like the biggest idiot ever because I had to do all the wedding photos with a giant water mark on my dress (they had to Photoshop it out).
What's even worse was that I ended up scoring a softball sized water blister that hung off my upper thigh for weeks. My doctor told me to not pop it, so it just hung there until it popped on its own 😂. I referred to it, affectionately, as my lady balls.
@grizzlymama86 I’m sorry you got pulled into the shower drama. The worst. Hopefully everything gets sorted!
@kissyfir1586 I’ve had the broken 12 pack of soda thing happen, not pregnant thankfully! Enjoy the steak, great source of iron for pregnancy.
@runningonindie I think I’ll start prepping a nursery in July? We don’t have to do much this time, just paint and set up.
Rave: Over the weekend I noticed my
lips were pale and my leg cramps at night were more severe. I increased my iron the last two days and it’s been better. Could be coincidental but I’ll take it as a win.

Endive?
Currently waiting for the Dr! Then my GD test next month. Ew
Pretty great these days! Though my emotions are way more all over the place with this pregnancy. I think I cried 3x today for 30 seconds lol
BIL said he'd be out Sunday....guess who still isn't all the way out...
Any good or favorite nipple creams that I can try to minimize how much they feel like they're being sanded off?
Hmm...I cut my chin pretty bad when I was a kid. I had my brother's (empty) wallet from a Wendy's kids meal and he was chasing me around my grandma's house. She had hard wood floors, I was wearing socks, and went in for the slide around my mom at the desk to hide from him and my chin met the corner of a file cabinet drawer.
My other fave injury story, in my teens I somehow sliced a huge ribbon of skin out of my calf while shaving (must have been a new razor). My aunt asked why I was all bandaged up and I said "Oh I cut myself with a razor." I nearly gave her a heart attack and she said "WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!?" Guess she thought I was being an emo teen and self harming.
LOL in my teens I went trick or treating with my friends (including DH back when he was either still just my best friend or we had just started dating the spring before), it was dark out and as usual I wasn't watching ahead of me. I walked into a telephone pole and my nose started bleeding alot. It actually didn't hurt that much at the time, but about a month later it was still super tender and even touching my glasses at all while I was wearing them hurt alot. Got an xray done about a month and a half or so after it happened and it turns out I had broken my nose.
@runningonindie for DS2 I don't think we did anything until I was 34-36 weeks...and really only set up a changing table, the PnP in our room, and got his clothes out. For this baby I feel like all I need to do is get out the newborn clothes and set the PnP back up and we are good to go...it's so weird having nothing to prepare.
@penny624 when it comes to sneezes, I’m not sure what’s worse- RLP or peeing my pants 😂
@grizzlymama86 I’m sorry for all the shower drama! Have the plans for the mini showers been finalized or is there still time to step in and do what you want to do?
@kissyfir1586 that injury sounds so painful! I got a steam burn on my hand last summer from our vegetable steamer and the blister lasted forever!
@runningonindie I don’t typically start baby prep until 34-35 weeks. We already have the furniture set up because we transitioned our youngest from the crib to a bed last September and, knowing we were going to start trying for a baby soon, we just moved the baby furniture into our office/soon to be nursery. But I won’t start washing clothes, bedding, etc until close to the end.
