It's finally Friday...Randoms, yo.

jennypm Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with those issues! That's part of why I'm terrified of being a homeowner. I hope they get it resolved soon and that it doesn't cost an arm and leg.

When do people plan on installing their car seat? My OB made sure I had done that (im 34w on saturday) but I dont feel comfortable having it in the car until 37 weeks or so. Im scared to get in a car accident and flush that money down the toilet.

You really don't need it until you plan on leaving the hospital.

I plan on having mine installed by DH after I've delivered since my two oldest are moving to the back of the van and the twins will be in the middle. I don't want my kids all the way in the back until they have to be.

ETA: Also, insurance should reimburse you for a new car seat even if LO isn't in the seat during a crash.

Unless you want to get it inspected and checked that it's in properly before your first trip home, you can just wait til you're in the hospital.

We are going out of town this weekend. It just hit as I was packing that the next time I do this I will have two kidsto pack for and twice as much crap to drag along!

Sometimes home ownership really sucks. The plumbing bill was $603. SIX HUNDRED FUCKING DOLLARS for some plastic coupling and brass coupling. 


Now, to fix the ceiling and the shower...who the fuck knows. We had money earmarked for other things we needed to do with our house. We need a new hot water heater, a new bay window because the wood is rotting, new garage doors, a new roof. It's never ending. I love owning my own home, but it seriously sucks at times, too. We just need to re-prioritize now. 

[chilibeansm0m]

jennypm so sorry lady!!

[starsailor26]

jennypm Sorry you had such a bad start to your morning.

ruemorgan We probably won't install the base until 38 weeks. With DD we hadn't done it when I went into labor, so DH installed it before we were released from the hospital. We have yet to buy the infant seat but I don't see any reason to install it this early.

TGIF! Last night, my parents offered to buy our third car which we've been wanting to sell for a while. It will be such a huge burden off my shoulders to sell it and to have that money set aside for mat leave. Also, we are going out to dinner tonight because I'm craving wings. I'm really looking forward to dinner and the weekend.

[luckystarz]

jennypm I am so sorry, ugh. I hope the contractor can fix it reasonably. I'm glad you have your water back on though.

DS's school called, they have a substitute nurse who clearly needs to re-learn how to read prescriptions. DS gets 20mL of his meds at lunch everyday, she kept trying to tell me he gets packets. Umm no lady, it's liquid in a bottle there are no packets. So she tells me, "oh, then you need to bring me a syringe." I had to explain to her that the nurse attached the syringe I provided to the bottle. Her response, "oh, that's what that is." I'm tempted to go give him the meds myself, this woman has issues.

[Deleted]

jennypm That really sucks! Hopefully it all gets fixed soon.

[ruemorgan]

Im tired of being a n00b on here. Im jealous of the few "members" we have.

[luvsponies]

Ughh jennypm I'm so sorry! I feel like plumbing and HVAC can be some of the biggest ripoffs sometimes.

So how's this for not awesome? Our office admin had a knee replacement and today is her first day back in the office. On the way to the bathroom, she asked me to stick her heating pad in the microwave for 3 minutes, so I did. Got back from the bathroom, opened the microwave and the heating pad is sitting there smoking violently. Of course, it stunk up the entire office. If one more person comes over to me to ask what the smell is, I'm going to punch them.

The lesson here? Don't ask the pregnant lady to do stuff (although I'm pretty sure it was just the microwave because it sucks).

[jennypm]

luckystarz Well, that nurse sounds like an absolute idiot.

Time to spam like  you've never spammed before! If you go to parenting they have posts that are literally just for upping post counts.

[AleWife]

jennypm NO! I'm so sorry.

foodislove Yeah, girl. You should rock that bump!

[snarkysparklefart]

Nope to target today. I think we will try to get up and go tomorrow, I have a few things on cartwheel that expire tomorrow. DD has been a grizzly all morning and I was hoping she would get it together so I'd feel less bad about skipping a nap, but noooope.

Agreed! Haha.

[jcar]

jennypm Oh no! I'm so sorry. Such a PITA!

ruemorgan I think we're going to install the bases in early February just in case. DH sucks as car seat installation so we need to do it before the hospital so I can do it. I will be around 36/37 weeks.

mandjs We're in the same boat. DS' birthday is coming up in early February and I'm really hoping she doesn't decide to come really early (I'm due March 3). I'll feel a lot better once we're past his party on the 7th. I'd feel terrible if it messed up his party, even though he's only going to be 2.

[goofygoff]

jennypm Ugh, sorry you have to deal with that!

I can't believe I only have 29 more days or 4 weekends, at most, until this baby arrives. There's also a part of me that can't believe my cervix is still holding out. There's not much left, but it's getting the job done! I'll stop taking the progesterone suppositories next Saturday when I hit 36 weeks.

Shit's gettin' real, yo.

No doubt. February 1st is right around the corner and I can start saying, "I'm due next month." Say what?!

[skrittens]

jennypm - so sorry about the plumbing. I love owning my house but not paying for things when they break. (As I keep saying to myself this is why I have to keep working at my job to pay for the house...)

ruemorgan - we are installing ours this weekend - about 2-21/2 weeks before the baby will be here (hopefully!) We are going to a certified installer. We won't drive with the seat in the car - just the base. I figured it's worth the peace of mind to know it is installed correctly - and worst case - the base itself isn't super expensive to replace.

[Deleted]

My mom told me I might get a lecture from my aunt about the travel system we have on my registry. She apparently gave my mom an ear full on the phone about it. I will tell her I don't care what you think it is what I picked out. Her main complaint is about the baby seat that comes with it. seriously we need a baby seat for when she is really little. Who knows what she bought because she didn't get anything off my registry.

[skrittens]

My shower is this weekend - and I have a Seraphine dress as well! I'm pretty excited - even though only one local friend, one family member from my side, and one family member from my H side will be there - I have a few friends coming from out of town - which is just so sweet. My H is doing the airport pick ups - I'm just hoping the weather holds up!

[rquinlin]

jennypm Oh no! That super sucks! As MH and I always say when that shit happens, "Ah, the joys of home ownership!"

[darbie914]

Dammit, what's etoille's SN here? There's a thread on June '15 on TB about giving her kid the name Jax.

The amount of glitter being blown up OP's ass is unbelievable.

jennypm sorry about the plumbing issues. Hopefully the ceiling repair isn't too bad.

I have 2 randoms:

1- yesterday my office had our bi-weekly staff meeting. There are only 8 of us that attend these meetings and they moved it to a a different room from where we usually have them. I walked in and they had a small cheese and crackers spread for a shower for me! It was so thoughtful.

2- H and I got invited to a Super Bowl party hosted by some of his college friends that in the past I tolerated for him. All I could do was laugh at the invitation, because, seriously, I could hardly handle you not pregnant, you don't want me around you 8 months pregnant. H told me he would pay money to see me rip into the one that I REALLY can't stand.

Seriously! It's almost too real. Though honestly I would like to speed up time a little pls & ty.

[wamom]

My ass hurts. Like I don't know if I need to poop or if I'm just normal pregnant uncomfortable and my hips are causing issues. Or if it is a lovely combination of the two. I am currently hating every single person that needs to be walked and seated into a conference room right now.

So much yes! I can't believe that the end is in sight.

[babys2015]

jennypm, so much stressful house stuff you are dealing with! I'm so sorry, we had a pipe burst in our basement on NYE, thankfully we were both home and were able to minimize the damage, but still it sucks to go thru all of the repairs.

Going wedding dress shopping w my bestie tomorrow! So excited for her! She's the last one in our group to tie the knot. Welcome to the dark side indeed!
