Random Weekend Thoughts

[cosmicav]

I was looking for a barfing gif (because that is how my weekend is going so far, lol) but that was a mistake..... :/

Anyone got stuff going on? It's Fourth of July weekend over here but I have no idea if we will even do something special. LO is too young to appreciate it anyway, lol.

I didn't think my baby brain could get worse after 2 kids (news for FTMs, it never really goes away once the baby gets here) but I've already tried to put the milk in the cupboard and tried to separate laundry into kids clothes, underwear/socks, and our clothes and managed to make 2 piles of mixed things. So we'll see if I can even dress myself by the end of this.

I was violently ill in the MOTN, but thankfully only once.

My sister comes in today, so I'm napping now. We are announcing to her today! I'm also really excited that there are six adults to entertain the toddler rather than just me. It's like a vacation.

I hate shopping on Holiday weekends. It's horrible. But we needed groceries in a big way. I was completely fine, morning sickness-wise, until I had to wait in the check-out line for 45 minutes! At one point, I had crouched down behind my cart to put my head between my knees. So miserable.

Upside: jalapeño pringles are awesome!

cosmicav Sorry you're not feeling well this weekend. Hopefully it lets up soon!
littleredfish Mine has been terrible this time around too! I left my phone somewhere in a store earlier - luckily someone turned it in to the cashier!
shellbell Have fun telling your sister!!

ls2012 45 minutes to check out?! I can't even imagine!!

Girl, jalapeno pringles sound beyond disgusting, but I am glad you found something you think is amazing to make up for that hellish grocery trip!

I got my bikini waxed this morning and I'm still walking funny. I keep telling myself it's still worth it.

[EmMilAlly]

Sorry to hear about all the puking ladies- hope it gets better from here!

Today was LOs first birthday party and it was insane. So many kids. So many day drinking adults. So many ridiculously weak old people wanting to hold my huge baby. (I'm still calling him a baby, mmmk?) I am beyond exhausted and somehow managed not to spill the beans. I'm in bed eating pasta salad and watching full house. An all around good day!

[ktl23]

EmMilAlly happy bday party to your LO! I am looking forward to my DS bday party on the 23rd but also dreading all the work!!

This weekend has been insane for me! Yesterday we spent the day and night with my ILs at their trailer. Camping with a crawling baby is...not relaxing. I have never wanted a beer so badly in my life! I think I got a total amount of 2 hours of sleep, and I can't even blame anyone for that, I am just such a bad sleeper when I'm not in my own bed. Today DH had his buddies over to help him split firewood and then we had a BBQ with their families. I feel like I could sleep for a year.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!!

We went to a wedding on Friday where I intended to quietly announce to my mom and sister because I didn't see how I could get through the wedding without drinking. I wound up getting through dinner with no one giving my Cranberry ginger ale a second look, so I decided to hold off. I had to go quietly exchange a couple cocktails they brought me with vodka in them, but otherwise it went smoothly.

DH ran into a friend he hasn't seen in 10 years, which was great until after dinner when she came to our table, sat on the opposite side of him (meaning he was turned away from me to talk to her) and engaged him in a loud and rowdy 15 minute conversation about the "good old days", without acknowledging I was there. I ended up leaving after 5 minutes to go to the bathroom and get another fake cocktail. DH thought I was jealous when I told him how irritated I was, but really I just felt isolated from the conversation and it made it really awkward for me. He apologized but it's still bothering me. How much effort would it have taken for him to just move his chair a little and lean back so that I could at least have the illusion of being part of the conversation? Or for her to say, "hey, how's the baby, is this the first time you've left him overnight"? I don't think I'm overreacting but maybe I am.

[littleredfish]

madam23, not overreacting in my book. I find it so rude when people do that. If you approach a pair or group of people and start having a convo with one of them how hard it it to position yourself to include the other people? If it's not a convo they can participate in I at least shift my eyes back and forth to make eye contact with them and include them in the story. Especially if they're talking about the "good old days" it sounds like it wasn't difficult to include you in the storytelling.

MH is guilty of doing this too, especially when he gets together with his military buddies and they end up talking shop. It's super annoying.

[ShelV]

madam23, that would bother me too.

I spent most of yesterday sleeping. I had to be up at dawn to drive a cousin 2 hours, so after that 4 hour round trip, I went back to bed and slept for an embarrassingly long time. Bonus: it reset my nausea, so I felt pretty good for most of the day.

Today, we need to catch up on errands and MH wants to go to some reptile thing. Maybe he can take the kids while I opt out because I just don't need to see that many snakes.

OMG- starving today but literally nothing actually sounds good that SIL has at her house. I want leftover pizza but none was leftover. Boo!

DH is visiting at the hospital so he'll be making a food run for me. Love him! Now to decide what I want...

[ktl23]

madam23 not overreacting in my eyes either. That would piss me off. I find I'm super sensitive when I'm pregnant too so add those hormones in to the mix - not fun. Sorry that happened to you!

[pivot]

madam23 That wouldn't fly in my book either pregnant or not. You have every right to feel that way.

My nausea is finally starting to kick in and the only thing that sounded good for lunch today was our leftover dessert from dinner last night that we never ate. So I had a giant slice of salted caramel chocolate cake for lunch. No ragrets.

[sweetieheart32]

DD made it through church this morning with relatively little fuss. Although morning sickness is back with a vengeance, DH is driving us around while DD naps, so not a bad day overall.

[shawnabm1320]

Nausea is showing up a little earlier for me the second time around. Basically I can't let my stomach feel empty. But I also can't feel stuffed, or I feel sick too. I guess it'll all balance out? Also, I've been so incredibly emotional. I couldn't sing at church today because it just wanted to make me cry. I hope I can make it through DS's birthday in two weeks without losing it!

We thought we had no plans tomorrow but the ILs want to have a lunch picnic. I'm glad to not have to cook, but they could give us a little warning. I mean, we got a big crowd together on Friday night as our 4th party. Isn't that good enough? I just want a day off with MH where we don't have to go anywhere! /rant

Being away for the long weekend

Pros: someone else is doing all the cooking and food prep

Cons: it's way past my dinner time and I'm feeling ill because I'm getting hungry

We took DS to the park today and a group was having a baby shower. Some of the women were smoking and the smell was bothering me so we were about to walk away when I saw the mom to be light one up and join the others. I literally could not believe my eyes. Seriously did not know people still did this.

[cwatmack]

We had DS's first birthday yesterday! Happy Birthday to your LO too EmMilAlly!! It was so much work but a ton of fun! We had four littles all under a year and it was awesome to see them interact!

We are doing fireworks tonight and probably a BBQ tomorrow. My birthday is Tuesday so I'm sure we will go out to dinner for that. July is a busy month especially this first week!

[EmMilAlly]

zcookiemonster that is pretty ballsy to smoke at your own baby shower. Maybe you were on What Would You Do and John Quinones was hiding in the bushes?!? Seriously though, that's awful.

[EmMilAlly]

cwatmack happy birthday to your LO!

[addymac]

Happy birthday to everyone's LOs!

I cannot keep a damn thing down today. Sent my dr a message asking about meds bc I'm miserable.

[puma1315]

zcookiemonster when my SIL was pregnant she still smoked. She was visiting and she went out for a smoke. DH couldn't believe she was doing that and went out and talked to her. Her reasoning was that her first one turned out OK so it's fine. Both her babies were pretty small but she couldn't see that it was probably related to her smoking.

[ktl23]

shawnabm1320 I hear you about wanting a day off with just your H! My ILs are super needy, we see them every second day. Ugh.

[shawnabm1320]

I just watched the finale of downton abbey and almost started crying. Chill out, hormones! Geesh!

[EmMilAlly]

Weird symptom - I have a phantom clogged duct in the spot I used to get them when nursing LO - it hurts! So strange because I haven't nursed in over 5 months. Any other ladies experiencing this?
