Tuesday spamday

[chickenhawke]

I way overdid it yesterday with the move- I couldn't help myself. Chiro and then Accupuncture then getting my hairs blown out!

[thedish]

This morning I decided it would be a good idea to start watching Parenthood on Netflix since I've heard great things about it. Bad. Idea.

I sobbed through the end of the first episode.

[chickenhawke]

Also, question: I've decided that I don't like the stuffed elephant head that we already purchased. Too silly to order a different one?

I had tried asking about the time stamp in tapatalk. It's 6 hrs ahead and annoying. I thought I read somewhere about it but can't remember

I always just use desktop or mobile. I haven't heard good things about Tapatalk and don't feel like futzing with it The mobile version of this site is pretty good IMO.

ETA: Trin, I remember reading about the timestamp in there too, it's a known issue for the app not just for our board. I guess they aren't doing anything about it? Weird.

Thanks Dish. Unfortunately proboards is blocked at work and I have no internet really at home so I'm stuck on mobile.

We were supposed to meet with our pediatric surgeon today to discuss options after birth (our LO probably has ovarian cysts) and he freaking canceled on us last minute. So pissed. DH rearranged a bunch of work meetings for this to happen today too. ROAR. If baby comes before we get to meet with the surgeon I'm not going to be a happy camper. I still have my routine appointment today at 1pm and I'm not looking forward to the Strep B swab since I have a lovely hemorrhoid. Hoping there's not an internal exam as well.

In other news, our nursery is finally put together and organized. Thank the lord for the long weekend!

[wirtlehm]

Had my weekly apt today and text DH that I was 1 cm dilated (woop-de-do!) and he got so excited... I felt like I crashed his little party when I informed him that I could be 1 cm for weeks! He really wants to meet Fi so badly...

The panera gods are smiling on me today. Not only did I get a full size broccoli cheddar soup by accident with my "pick-2" lunch, they gave me the heel of the bread and it wasn't some measly stump this time, my panini didn't fall apart when I picked it up due to poor sandwich construction, and my hot cocoa has the perfect amount of chocolate. So happy right now

And testing gods are smiling on me as well. I administered two tests that, on average, take about 3-3 1/2 hours to administer both back-to-back, in 2 1/2 hours. Thank God because I had to pee so bad when I was finished working with this kid!

Hopefully the good vibes keep going at my OB appointment in an hour. Not exactly looking forward to the internal exam and gbs test and (hopefully) getting blood/24hr urine catch test results back

[kaydee0402]

dronkeygal we finally got our nursery organized too this weekend! It's amazing what you can get done when you have three days off (: And I'm sorry about your pediatric surgeon, I would be pissed too. Hopefully it all works out!

We had our childbirth class and hospital tour this weekend. Our hospital has huge birthing suites, which I'm excited about, BUT there's no minifridge for the bottle of wine I planned on sneaking in ): I told the husbandman we might just have to sneak in a cooler.

Not silly. Order a different one. I decided I don't like the curtains we bought yesterday for the nursery and informed DH we'd be returning them.

[nomnomasaur0426]

And I completely commiserate with being over work, and underwear, and trying to find acceptable outfits. I have so much to do at work and everyone is up my ass about when I will get cases completed - yeah can only do so much when working half days now and having snow days, delays, or kids that aren't around for me to work with them. Underwear just rolls right off my hips now since my bump is even lower and pushing them off. I hate wearing pants, but only have a couple of dresses and need to wear something underneath to prevent chub rub. I'm also so freaking hot so all I want to wear are tanks and t-shirts but I throw on a sweater for the sake of looking presentable :/

I have a ring sling coming in the mail today (being delivered to work). I'm excited.

I think it's a carrier.

It's a baby carrier - a type I wasn't brave enough to use with DS, but I'm going to try it this time.

Yup!
Hope my pic of DH and DS works

Add me to the "over working" group. I still have a few more weeks but feel like it's dragging by.

[mishka29]

Waiting for my prenatal massage to start! Super excited!

If your water breaks your pants will probably absorb most it while you have a chance to move quickly to avoid ruining furniture!

Post and Run:

Super sick with the cold flu, again! I got my flu shot at 14 weeks and have been sick twice since then. It's been so tough. Took the day off yesterday to rest and I don't feel like it was enough. My house is a mess, DH is exhausted. MIL is back in the mental hospital again and we have her dog here who doesn't get along with our two dogs. Needless to say, it's been a whirlwind of exhaustion in this house. Too much to deal with. I really don't want to deal with life today and work SUCKS. We need groceries so bad and we haven't had the time to go shopping, and now I'm sick. I seriously just want to curl into a ball and cry my stuffy face off.

I hope everyone is having a better day!

ETA: Sorry for the pitty party. Sometimes it's just necessary.

[wendy46001]

mishka29 super jealous of the massage, enjoy!

Also your right about the furniture. My water broke at work last go round. Wasn't pretty but thank god for black pants and being able to spare my office chair.

[lrjjj08]

mom2xover2002 I would totally return it, and if they ask just politely tell them it didn't match well. A good friend wouldn't care ( I hope)!

[mrsclark731]

I have admiration for those of you that are still working. Is be fired 100x over by now.

I jinxed myself by saying out loud how good I had been sleeping the past two weeks. Last night was back to vivid, crazy scary dreams and tossing and turning alllll night.

I ugly cried this morning over this fucking granuloma in my mouth. I had it removed two weeks ago and now it's growing back and pushing my front teeth apart! I know it could be worse, but I really love my teeth. I take great care of them (I've never had a cavity), and paid a lot of money for braces. Ugh. My poor husband.

I never understood how fat men with beer bellies were always pulling up their pants--now I totally get it. My belly has dropped and I'm constantly pulling up my yoga pants. God bless those who still get dressed for work everyday. I don't know how you do it.

I'm going to go drown my teeth sorrows in some Ben and Jerry's peanut butter half baked ice cream.

[lrjjj08]

My body is tired, getting off the couch is painful and so is taking my shoes off. I still have so much work to get done before I go out next Friday. My kids have been so good though, I am so sad to leave them for 4 days!

[misshart00]

Last time, my water broke on the toilet. It couldn't have been any more perfect. Except that I didn't notice.

[hollydfromtn]

Welp it's time to welcome me into the stretch mark club. I have had a few pop up throughout the pregnancy but nothing major. Well after my shower this morning I was looking in the mirror and BAM road map belly. I guess with Baby D dropping the past few days my skin just wasn't ready for it. I had high hopes that I would make it without that many. Oh well *shrug*.

I'm on mobile so it is hard to keep track of all the mentions I wanted to make.
•Sorry to all of those still working.
•Finding a body in the attic is insane and uber creepy.
•Super jealous of all the women that have finished their nurseries already.
•I'd take back the bedding set for the one you really want.

I'll I back through when I get home and make sure I didn't miss anybody.

[PikoPiko]

The slippery slope begins here. I skipped my daily swim today even though I was feeling fine; I was having another case of the morning.

What hand lotion/treatment cream do you ladies recommend for someone with insanely broken (peeling) finger tips? I think I'm probably exposed to the chlorine in the pool a bit too often, it's causing my finger tips to look terrible. At least they don't hurt (yet).

[angeldcf]

Another FWP: our maid asked if we had a cradle. I replied, "No, we have the old crib upstairs & using the PnP in our room for several weeks." A few days later, she drops off a cradle for us from another client cleaning out their attic. I thought cradle's were like small bassinet/baby Moses things. First part consists of a H-shaped 4 ft tall base and 4ft long, huge swinging basket. My super tall son fits in it. No hardware though.

They're back tomorrow. What do I do with this thing? We can't put it together bc no hardware, not sure it meets safety standards (slats look far apart) and nowhere to put it/don't need it.

I appreciate the generosity- not sure what to do w/this large piece of baby furniture.
