Well ladies. It's Tuesday.
One of the security guards at our building saw me walking back and forth for various reasons yesterday and asked me if I was trying to "walk that baby out". Um, no?? I am barely showing and just announced at work last month. Bring on those stupid comments, I guess!

I've worn makeup for three out of the last four days and I feel so fresh and new. I've been a funk lately (the bloat plus AL nerves are killing me), and sprucing up with makeup must be just what I needed.
Plus, every time I wear makeup J says, "Oh, Mommy, I like that face you got on!" It's precious LOL

For me... I have a metric fuck ton of work to do today. But I know DH will be home late because he's got a million appointments/errands to run in the city tonight. So, I won't be seeing him until at least 9pm. Gives me plenty of time to catch up on stuff.

loves2shop4shoes - I used to wear it every day, but then after J I stopped (PPD combined with exhaustion). Plus, my work environment is more casual. Still business attire, but not as 'fussy' as my old office was. And I realized how little effort I was putting into ME! So makeup it is! And I do feel better
I have a whole closet of makeup. So. Many. Colors. LOL

oldbaylover1024 I feel you about the makeup. I have seen the tired faces of my friends with babies and/or small children and think, oh gosh, that is what I have been looking like, too! Yay for small victories like putting on makeup and brushing hair.
Apparently I cannot eat Cheerios while on here as many have not made it to my mouth but somewhere on the sofa or my shirt. Geez.
*possible TMI warning*
Also, I'm ready for morning sickness to end. In the past 2 days, I have graduated from puking to projectile vomiting. This time 10 minutes into my online shift for work. It's the 3rd time it's happened this month where I had to cancel a shift or leave early, my boss knows I'm pregnant but I hope I don't get in trouble as she has only been my boss for 2 months.

This is me 100%. It's sad that that sort of self-attention was the first thing to go after having a kid.
crazycatlady6 I had some of that when I was pregnant with DS. One day I called DH at work sobbing because I had not made it to the bathroom in time and there was vomit...everywhere. He calmly came home and scrubbed the walls down. I found it happened when I ate a certain cereal. Do you have anything in common like that? I was trying to eat a high protein cereal and my body did not like that.
I've teared up twice today thinking about DD not being an only child anymore soon. The thought of that final hug/goodbye before adding the new LO just makes me want to cry.

You're not alone. I'm having a really hard time with this. This is my last full week home with DS, and I had a good cry about that. I've also worked myself into a tizzy more than once about leaving DS to go to the hospital. It'll be even worse if it's an emergency type situation and mil (our very very very last resort but also closest geographically) has to come while DS is awake.

I have some serious anxiety about leaving DS to go to the hospital and coming home with a new baby. Will he be mad at me? What if I have a c-section and I'm gone for several days? Will he be sad and miss me while I'm gone? What if he cries for me in the MOTN and I'm not there? Ugh. It's making me sad.
I wonder if R and G have been better about new people and situations because they always have the other there. Even with the babysitter they'd only seen twice, they were okay when she picked them up from daycare and started their bedtime routine. Just a bit confused.
I feel like a teenager. I just ate a ridiculous amount of pizza rolls and I want more. Is 50 too many?? Can this be off-set with a lot of fruit and water?
ls2012 I have been craving foods from my younger years as well. All crap foods but I've been wanting spaghettio's, oatmeal cream pies, bagel bites, etc. So weird.
Also I just say chalk it up to a loss and you can start fresh tomorrow lol.

Ah I've cried so many times thinking about this... including right now. I often feel guilty thinking maybe we should have waited longer before we started trying because DS will still be so young. I feel like I'm taking away from his childhood.. but I'm sure he will love the playmate when they're older!

I think I'm the opposite! Yes I'm worried about leaving K to go have another baby-but I think I'm adding to her life. I know she will be a great big sister, and this will be a playtime companion, best friend, and teach her so many things. I know I will worry more once it's closer, but for now I'm focused on all the positives.

Closet full of makeup? You might be my spirit animal.
I totally hear you. Depression, stress, etc. can make you put so much less into YOU. I'm kind of going through that right now and hope to be on the upswing soon.

No, the past couple times I vomited like that was with pumpkin frosted wheat cereal, and PB&J, and Honey Nut Cheerios.
Your bathroom scene sounded like mine this morning. It even managed it get in the litter box sitting next to the toilet. Thank goodness I have clumping litter.

loves2shop4shoes - I'm pretty committed to Bare Minerals. It's the only product I've tried that doesn't irritate my psoriasis. I've actually noticed an improvement in my pregnancy acne since using it again, too.

I use the Bare Minerals Well Rested powder whenever I do my makeup. I use it to set my under eye concealer.

Ya, this. I was worried too, but DDs 1 &2 are all about each other. DD1 wants to help her sister with everything and if anything I have to get her to tone down her crazy aggressive headlock "hugs". Plus DD2 smiled at DD1 before anybody else and lights up every time she sees her. They do have down days when DD1 is being particularly grabby and DD2 is annoyed and tells her off, but really I can't get over how much they love each other.
I'm excited to see them with another baby in the mix closer in age to DD2. I don't worry about them at all, I'm worried about myself and DH being out numbered lol.

I am not worried about this so much because the plan is for my parents to be with him. But if I need to go to the hospital before they can get here (2hrs), I worry about leaving. But I know once he's with my parents, he's fine. It's if my parents can't get here that I start to panic.
I have an awesome mom friend, and I expressed my mil anxiety to her. She simply said "then you don't call her. You call me and I come over even if it's the middle of the night."
