I'm mobile so can't tag or remember everyone to tag-- good luck to those who are in labor or near labor. I can't believe we are all so close.
I'm stuck in computer class and they did an assigned seating and my belly takes up a lot of room and this guy keeps coming in and out of the row. It's really annoying. I'm also really tired from last night. 5.5 hours isn't enough. I also am working tonight which is a major boo. I'm so tired, hopefully i get a nap before going in.
Random - is gif pronounced jif (soft g) or gif (hard g). I know the g stands for graphics, which makes me think it should be hard g, but that sounds much worse than jif.....
When did you guys get your completion coupons for Amazon? I haven't gotten mine yet. ?
When I logged into my registry it just had a big yellow block at the top that said "use this link to buy stuff with your completion discount" about 2 weeks ago? so a month before what I had input as my due date.
Thank goodness it is Friday! I am at work until 1:30 and then I head to the Chiropractor. This baby was turning all around last night, so hopefully that means she has settled head down and I can start trying to get labor moving.
My car battery died yesterday afternoon so DH jumped me and it was fine the rest of the night, but it was totally dead this morning. My neighbor jumped me, but we'll see what happens this afternoon when i try to leave work. We really can't afford any car repairs right now, so DH said a friend at work is a mechanic and will take him to a junk yard to get a cheap battery...
I am also packing hospital bags and an overnight bag for DD this afternoon. I can't put it off any longer.

The correct way is jif but most people say gif. How did your interview go?

Headed to my regularly scheduled appointment (the appointment I had made a month ago to have the stitch out...) which will now just be a regular check up. Contractions are back to being random and sporadic. Ugh. I want my doc to tell me I can have this baby today. I'm tired.

Good. I like the sound of jif better.
I think it went well - it was only a 30 min screening thing with a recruiter, so next step is a phone interview with would-be manager which I should hear about some time next week. I always struggle with interviewing for a new job when I am hating my current job because it's so hard to tell if it will be an upgrade or just more of the same old shit. Sounds like a great company to work for, though, so that's a plus.
Ah yes, the religious freedom protection. It is also related to be able to fire someone who is married to someone of the same sex, and deny coverage of birth control as an exception from ACA. It makes me want to puke. You do not get special protected tax-free status from the government, then claim you don't have to follow the law of the land. All around it is frustrating. There is precedent for the Supreme Court to ban this (interracial marriages used to be fireable offenses at Bob Jones University) but there is also precedent to allow religion to dictate policy above federal law (Hobby Lobby birth control recently). So I don't know what is going to happen...

The person who created them says it's pronounced like jif. But that is not how most people say it. Rightly so because yes the g stands for Graphics! I don't get ragey about it. Nope not at all. It's just not logical to pronounce it as Jif.
Sorry, everything below got really long and ranty. TLDR version: Seriously, this move is the most WTF experience I have had in a long time.
So the guy who did the appraisal on the house we are selling was suppose to have it turned in on the 10th, so we can close next week. It still isn't turned in but when asked he *thinks* everything was fine and he doesn't remember "off the top of his head" anything that would need fixed. The lady buying our house is doing an FHA. DUDE we have 1 WEEEK until closing, we need a little more reassurance that we aren't going to have to drop a ton of cash getting stuff fixed than "I don't remember there being anything."
Our buyer wants possesion on closing, fine. We'll be completely moved out by 9am Friday. Whatever. Our sellers want to turn over possession the next Monday. WTF?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We cannot have all our stuff sitting in a moving van at a hotel for 3 days. OMG.
And last but not least, we cannot rent a 26' moving truck in our city and return it in our city. Those are only reserved for one way trips. Why? No one knows. So we had to get the 15'. We are now feverishly selling any extra crap possible on our local BST facebook page.
Edit because holy tag FAIL. the @ sign is super helpful y'all.
Oh hey, random contractions. STAHHHP IT. Slept terribly last night and am in full-blown zombie mode this morning. Office door is shut. Lights are off. Everyone just leave me alone and let me get through the day.
Hey now due date twin, don't you start! FXFY that everyone leaves you alone today!
I was having a good day yesterday until I started talking about our trip home for the holidays with my parents and brothers. My in laws live in Illinois, we live in Florida and my family lives in Connecticut. Last year we drove to Illinois and stayed for a week then we flew to Connecticut and stayed for a week and then flew to Illinois and drove home. Except, we flew into New York bc it was less than half the price. No one would pick us up. They didn't know I was pregnant at the time. We had to take a bus to Grand Central and a train from there to New Haven where my brother picked us up. It was horrible. We just can't do that this year w a baby and luggage and a carseat. So I told them that we're planning on flying into New York again so here's the 6 month notice can someone please pick us up in New York bc the tickets to NY are $172 vs $400 to CT. Each. They flat out told me no. They won't drive there. Umm.. ok? I haven't seen you in a year and you won't have met your nephew. Not to mention my older brother and sister in law are having a baby December 4th that we will not have met. They said they'd only pick us up in Connecticut and to ask my parents for the difference in the tickets. Ok? Seriously? We can afford the $800 to fly to Connecticut, I just can't justify spending $800 when I can spend $344. It seems crazy. So then, bc they're Mommas boys, they message my mother who then messages me and says my brothers tried to look for other flights bc "they love us" and they'll give us the money for the difference if we need it. Just no. They tried to find other flights into CT (and failed) bc they didn't want to drive to pick us up. Not bc they love us. And I don't want your handout so you can hold it over me until the end of time. It's not happening. So we're not going to visit them now. It was stressing me out so much last night I couldn't even deal so I told them we'd come another time. There's so much more to this and back story but that's the gist. My family makes me crazy. Sorry ladies, I didn't mean for this to turn into a rant. After that crap I couldn't get into my car when trying to leave work bc someone parked so close to me that I couldn't squeeze in w my belly no matter how hard I tried or what way I faced. I ended up crawling through the passengers side. 8 and a half months pregnant. Thank god I have an SUV. But seriously, TGIF!!!!
When asked "what are you doing?!" Only a toddler would find "just snuggling with your booty mom" an acceptable answer. lol wtf?! Was making toast and he was just standing there hugging my butt. Apparently I'm not allowed to ask questions haha.
I'm pretty sure my husband has answered with this a few times. Minus the mom part. Obviously.
Thinking of you brassyclarinet, lemon200, gingerygirl, htuzzi324 and whoever else is contracting. But seriously, you guys are intruding upon my delusional bubble and making me realize that babies are coming and I'm not readyyyyyy.
I dunno bibliothecary. I'm feeling very unoriginal today. I must admit that I love that we are all meh on judging serious parenting stuff but aw HELL NO SHE DIDN'T when it comes to food. Priorities and I like it.
I have to go the beach with my sister and SIL and SIL's family. I do not want. RealFeel temp is 105, I only own 1 maternity bathing suit and it's black and doesn't fit anymore, none of my pre pregnancy suits fit, I hate SIL's family (literally psycho people), and my sister annoys me.
Apparently my niece rode the Fury at Carowinds yesterday (325 ft up, 5th tallest roller coaster in the world). I don't believe it. I had to bribe her to ride a kiddie coaster last year and she screamed bloody murder and cried after (aunt of the year LOL). This spring, we went on a high ropes course and on the second level, like 9 feet off the ground, she got terrified and stuck there for 2 hours. Two weekends ago, we went over a bridge here and she started freaking out bc it was so high. They sent me pics of them in line about to ride to prove it, and I'm calling photoshop.
I made the incorrect driving decision this morning on my way to the ob. Interstate wasn't moving so I got on the feeder. That wasn't moving either. I finally got to the light and was able to drive down to my alternate route and was only 10 minutes late to my appt. so now I get to sit in the waiting room for a while.
I'm going to try and get mil to give me a pedicure tonight. I keep looking at my feet and they're gross but my hips hurt too bad to hike my leg up to do it myself.
kaeguri I was pretty glad I am pregnant this summer so H wouldn't drag me to ride Fury (we live 20 min away). I road The Intimidator last year and it was awful. Granted, we decided it was a good idea to go hungover so that definitely made it so much worse. I know I'll ride it next summer though and I'm not sure if I'm okay with that or not, ha!
I also like that the disagreements are about important things like food. It gave me some serious laughs yesterday!

DH is know-all about tech stuff and says its "jif". I refuse. I don't remember what the explanation is, either.

I haven't moved a whole lot this morning. Crappy night of sleep after being in pain all day yesterday after my sono and cervical check. I'm ok so far today as long as I'm not up and moving. It's pathetic. What happened to all the energy I had just two weeks ago?

I had big plans of cleaning the whole house today. I turned the music on loud, shoved my hair back with a headband, put some cleaning clothes on, emptied the dishwasher, grabbed a bag of Combos and sat back down on the couch. For someone who deals with so much high level food both professionally and personally, I sure do enjoy some low level shit.

hiimjamie what the heck? If you fly into LGA it's what, 1hr 30 min to North Haven? What's the issue? It's not about the money it's the freaking point of it all. I'd be rage-y over this too, ugh..
hiimjamie, Your situation sucks. I am a very blunt person and would say, either pick us up or we are not coming. And it will be up to you to get down here to meet our child. Sorry - I hate family drama and I hate when they act all shitty like that. And no, your parents shouldn't pay the freaking difference, it's a waste of money. You are most likely still saving money by being picked up.
Another option - have you looked at renting a car to get from NY to CT? You might be able to find a good deal that would still be less expensive than flying directly to CT.

Only reason I was sad about getting pregnant in the summer was that I'd miss the entire summer at Carowinds lol. We had season passes last year and wore those out. I lived in Columbia at the time, so it was only an hour away, we'd just go randomly almost every weekend. I love the Intimidator. And I was so excited for the Fury, we were going to get season passes again this year and be the first to ride it. H swore he wouldn't ride it without me, but his brother came to town a few months ago and wanted to go so I told him it was ok. Meanwhile I'm grumbling in my head yelling TRAITOR NOT FAIR. I wanna goooooo.
