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.
Ditto. I couldn't go on a single water slide this summer. Waterparks are my JAM. I drive past the Schlitterbahn every day on my way to work and it torments me from the road. NOT FAIR.
+ 1 on the bummer for no water slides. I don't live close to a watermark but our local pool has a pretty fun one that I could do with DD. No go. Sad face.
all the Carowinds talk bums me out too. My sister lives an hour north of it and we usually go for a day or two in the summer when we visit. Next summer right ladies? We took my dd to water park side when she was 1 and she had a blast just splashing.
Let's see if I can post something without bitching. I feel like I've been doing a lot of that...
I just found out H&M sells maternity clothes and nursing tanks/bras/shirts/dresses! The maternity clothes are obviously too late but I just ordered a 2 pack of tanks and a 2 pack of shirts. They're $29 each for the 2 pack, at $15 a shirt they're cheaper than everywhere else. m.hm.com/us/products/ladies/maternity_wear/nursing?page=1&viewItems=true
Question: When I walk around I pretty much get one big continuous BH. I'm trying to walk more to prepare my body for labor and all that jazz but as soon as I get on the treadmill a BH starts and does not go away the entire time. At this point I'll only walk 15 minutes at a time because I'm worried about LO not having time to "recover" from the contraction. Does anyone else get this? Is this weird or normal?
It's weird. This happened to me last pregnancy and this pregnancy around 25 weeks. But I can (or could last week) still do workout classes. But walking around the store or on the treadmill. Nope. Makes zero sense.

Another one for being disappointed in no water park or roller coasters this summer. We are 1.5 hours from Kings Island, an hour from Kentucky Kingdom, 3 hours from Holiday World, and 3 hours from Cedar Point...I'm so not happy about missing out on all of it this summer, but we'll enjoy it next summer!! We usually go to the campgrounds at Cedar Point and have a blast. Not so much this summer.

I'm really torn between wanting to make it to induction day, wanting to "just make it" to full term, and wanting the twins to do what twins often do and just going into early labour right now.
ETA: Not sure if this is a random or a FFFC, but it's staying right here because tiredness.
last night I watched hubs (who just got home from traveling) pick up dd on the webcam at daycare. my heart swelled with love just watching her face and excitement and announce, that's my daddy. I couldn't believe that she was ours and how much love my heart held for her - it was a great feeling.

We are only 2 hours from kings Island and 3 1/2 from cedar point! We haven't gone as a family yet though. Scratches my head and wonders why. It's probably because we go to my sister's a lot in the summer and H has had weird job things the past few summers.

I need to start a coin jar for how many times I say "get that out of your butt or vagina" to my dd lately. The things that you never thought you'd say...til you had kids
1. I dropped my dog off for surgery this morning. She's having a mass removed, getting spayed, having her teeth cleaned and they're putting in a microchip. Poor sweet girl looked terrified and I felt like the worst pet owner in the world.
2. I have zero patience today. Zero. At first I thought it was just DS and his obnoxious questions bothering me, but then my mom texted me something that made me absolutely ragey. It was something stupid and my reaction was ridiculous. That's when I knew that it's not DS today, it's me, I'm all out of patience.

So, yesterday I mentioned that my dog was really sick and I was very worried and emotional about it. The vet gave us some treatment, and it seems to be working. No pooping or blood since about 2 hours after the vet trip! Plus her appetite is back and she's acting like herself again. I'm so incredibly relieved. If the vet's initial approach didn't work it might have indicated that it was more than just a gastrointestinal problem and we'd be looking at all sorts of stuff that I don't even want to think about.

Some of the greatest moments are watching DD with my BF. Such an overwhelming loving feeling. The best.

This. The say DD says "That's my daddy" melts my heart so much.
The other day, she said "you're the best daddy. You're not weird or anything." and it cracked me right up.
It's weird. This happened to me last pregnancy and this pregnancy around 25 weeks. But I can (or could last week) still do workout classes. But walking around the store or on the treadmill. Nope. Makes zero sense.
+1 2 minutes of burpees, okay. Wednesday did 100 (broken up) of hanging knees-to-elbows with my arms in straps, no problem. Walking on treadmill at 2.5 = death.
You're still doing burpees?!?!? I am very impressed.

BURPEES?!?!?! You are insane. I hate those not pregnant. Plus, pretty sure my bump would bang into the ground at this point and make the push-up part pretty pointless.

I can't wait to take LO next year and take her on the tiny waterslides and kiddie rides. I always said I never understood why parents would bring infants to places like that, not like they can enjoy them or remember it. But now I can't wait to see her little face light up on all the little rides. Who cares if she remembers them? She'll be having fun at that moment and that's all that matters. #thingsInevergottilnow i'm going to die a little bit inside if she hates them. But both H and I and all of our parents love adrenaline fueled rides and heights, so it has to be in her blood. Right??!?! ::side-eyeing belly::
Ugh. This is gross, but, fortunately, it's just grandstanding. First of all, ain't nothin' getting through this congress. And there's no way in hell Obama would sign this into law. A few asshole are going to use this garbage to pander to their base--nothing to see here.

I do pregnant burpees now. Squat in front of a wall, then do a push up against the wall. And by "do", I mean I do like 2 then wander off to eat something else bc I'm hungry again.
I'm searching for a cross fit gym in my area now. There are 2 near me, but I really like this one I went to last year but it's $150 a month. Which is around what I was paying pre-baby, but I was working 2 jobs back then too as opposed to not working now.
DH signed me up for a 5k the same day he runs a half marathon in January. Need to find jogging stroller. Craigslist is being unhelpful so I'm off to scour local BST pages.
I thought I was just going to have a nice, routine OB appointment this morning. Nope. Massive swelling and high bp, so now I'm in l&d being monitored. Good news is bp has come down and baby seems good. So hopefully they'll send me home today. FX.

aelias, I was doing an at home gym routine and had to look them up - it's like a squat and pushup with a jump mixed together...google it. they are a pita.
