    Craving: anything that won’t give me heartburn at this point 😅
    Crying: I literally tossed & turned alllll night with acid in my chest. My reglen seems to only work 1/2 the time, and even though I’m basically sitting up straight in bed I still manage to breathe lave all night long. 😭 I drank WATER and got heartburn. I literally *maybe* got 2 full hours of actual sleep. Plus I got up every hour or so to pee. Every time I tried to lay in my left side it was like a sudden urge to go, so I guess baby likes hanging out and putting pressure on mommas bladder all night long. 
    Raving: I can tell you now today is gonna be a dayyyy. I’m so tired and cranky 🥲

    @b_1029 I know I sound like a broken record with this reflux but it has been a constant battle. I really worry myself having 10 whole weeks left of breathing lava!

    I just selfishly confiscated an Oreo from dd’s lunchable to mix up a little ice cream blizzard for myself during nap time 🙈

    @sph97 +1 to your reflux club. 

    What are you craving?
    An IPA beer. Im excited for May. 
    Preggo craving - ice cream. Either a good chocolate or mint chocolate chip

    What made you cry today?
    reflex. I wake with it. I deal with it all day. I go to sleep with it. I think baby went transverse or sideways for a few hours yesterday and that gave me a couple hours of relief. 

    What/who is making you see red? 
    Nothing yet 🤞🏼

    Oh my raging hormones today. I swear, if I’m asked for a snack one more time today, I’m going to need a straight jacket. I have no idea what my issue is but I’m about to lose my ish. Poor DH had to listen to me ranting about something stupid and just started laughing at me and then I wanted to yell more but it was also kinda funny so thankfully I didn’t. Maybe I just need a nap 😅

    We ordered a new dining set in early December. It was supposed to be delivered end of Jan. We expected a delay, so weren’t surprised when, on Jan 31, they told us end of Feb. I’m starting to get a little miffed as, on Feb 28, they tell us end of March. Like come on - don’t you get updates sooner than the LAST possible moment?! I definitely thought it would be here by end of Feb. We have a birthday party this weekend and another mid March. I’m getting tired of lugging chairs from all over the house and STILL not having enough to seat everyone. The Ashley Home Furniture truck just parked outside our house. I was STOKED! It sat there for 10 mins. Then it left. Still no dining set. Don’t know why it is choosing to mess with my emotions. What a bloody tease.

    Cried a bit today - all of this non stop house hunting the past few months has had me excited, disappointed, tired, frustrated. So here we are for the FOURTH time doing yet another offer and we’re one step closer than we’ve gotten with any of the others. I’m just emotionally exhausted and hoping this is finally it.

    What are you craving? Seafood.. We've been watching Next Level Chef and every week it makes me want really really good seafood. Normally I hate it lol

    What made you cry today? Just my general state of being. So tired, hard to walk, my belly is so heavy.

    What/who is making you see red?
    My in-laws as usual. MIL bought us size NB clothes but then proceeded to argue with me that I probably need to exchange them for preemie. Ok so why didn't you just buy preemie and skip the argument? Also she's saying they're looking at buying a camper so they can come stay for a month or two with their dog. (They live in NC). HARD NO. Then she's trying to make all kinds of travel plans for us this summer. Nooo.

    Craving- pasta! Luckily DH and I are going out to eat tonight and are going to an Italian restaurant. Gotta live it up while I can in case I do fail the 3 hour glucose haha

    Crying- I cried for like 2 hours last night about the glucose test and whatever else I haven’t cried about in a while. Also a bit this morning because DD has started saying mommy and daddy instead of mama and dada and when did that happen 😭 she still mostly calls me mama but DH is like 5% dada at this point. 

    Luckily no one has pissed me off too bad yet this week haha.

    Crying - Sounds pathetic but I’m feeling so at the end of my rope with my kid and under appreciated from DH and it’s all piling up into tears. DH reminded me that I missed a receipt for our budget and I just started crying. I’m doing my best 😭

    Raging - aforementioned toddler. She’s driving me absolutely nuts. She is bossing me (and everyone else) around, refusing to do anything for herself. She wants her water (2 steps away), but I have to get it for her. She wants to color, but I have to color for her (oh but NOT LIKE THAT MAMA). I’m losing it. And the weather sucks and we’ve been stuck inside for months and I’m DONE. 

    is it just me or does it seem like everyone is at the end of themselves? Everyone I know is dealing with sickness / personal crisis / tantrums / major family issues. No one is at their best. Everyone just needs a win.

    I’m dead serious when I say this - if you’re having a good day/week I’d LOVE TO KNOW. I need to know that something good is happening in the world.

    @brookejay06 I was just thinking today that we were ll at the "absolutely miserable ready to have this baby stage"already lol. It is so easy to get caught up in the discomfort and crisis'! Myself included!! I cried about needing a bigger shoe size (I guess my feet are swelling a little more than I'd like to admit) when I bought a pair f sandals the other day lol. So silly, but it made me feel like I have no control over all the "changes" happening to my body.

    On a bright note- what was suppose to take up to a week to fix my internet line is now suppose to be fixed this eve! So luckily it wont effect my classwork this week! + my baby shower is Saturday and I'm excited to see my family and friends and finish prepping for LO to be here. Now that we have less than 10 weeks left I'm starting to freak out a little lol. & my husband is getting our cars detailed within the next couple weeks we don't have to clean it myself and they'll be spic-and-span for baby lol. He needs his done wayyy more than mine- his backseat is basically a giant toolbox lmao.

    @brookejay06 ♥️ hugs. Toddlers are tough. I can't seem to do anything right sometimes with DD. She melted down this morning because I lifted her off my lap instead of letting her slide down herself. You're definitely not alone in your frustrations!

    Craving: Guinness. I just want a cold Guinness. I plan on breastfeeding so I don’t even know when I can look forward to having one. 

    Crying: I can’t count on my fingers how often I cry or come to tears in a day. It won’t even be anything I remember later. Like it’s things that Do. Not. Matter. But my pregnant brain is like “oh that was serious let’s cry.” I cried because I found good curtains for the nursery. I cried because I *almost* stubbed my toe. I cried because I was crying. I cried because I waited over an hour for food delivery. I almost cried because my OB left me in the waiting room a long time… then I cried because she was apologetic when she came to get me. Ugh. 

    Raging: I just want to feel NORMAL!!! I’m always hot…. Like sitting still on the couch sweating through my clothes. Forget going to the gym. I want to be able to move normally! And wear normal clothes! I feel like an egg right now. I’m just a vessel for this little guy beating up on my organs all day every day. I might break at any point because of anything. 

    @brookejay06 Overall I’ve had a good week! I haven’t done much, but I’m pretty happy. I like that we have a forum to complain and let it all out, but life is pretty good. My showers are scheduled with family, I’ve started getting registry items delivered from friends out of state, and my little man is moving around all day every day. Keep your head up! Maybe we should have a Thankful Thursday thread in addition to our rants and freak out threads.

    @taylorharris0522 obviously it’s up to you and what you’re comfortable with, but having one beer and BF isn’t a big deal. You could drink it right after you nurse so there’s more time between consuming it and the next nursing session.

    @taylorharris0522 Obviously a personal decision, but it’s okay to have a drink while breastfeeding. I’ve read about it in previous pregnancies (not recently) so may not have all the facts straight: but basically, it’s like taking a breathilizer. If you could pass a breathilizer test, you can feed. You can even buy little test strips. You squirt breastmilk at them and they tell you if you can or cannot feed baby. Pumping and dumping doesn’t rid your body of alcohol, it metabolizes so only time can rid it. But pumping and dumping is done if you’re not safe to feed but need to express milk for comfort or to stay on schedule. It’s not drinkable for baby. I did quickly find a link you may wish to look at: https://www.contemporaryobgyn.net/view/alcohol-and-breastfeeding-what-are-risks

    @taylorharris0522 to add on to what everyone else has said re: alcohol + breastfeeding, the biggest risk is probably you being too drunk to hold baby. So if you're too drunk to hold them, you're definitely too drunk to feed them.
