I assume the pay it forward thing at Starbucks is purely for those getting drive thru coffee, right? I can't imagine some cashier asking me if I want to chip in some money for random dude standing behind me. So not only can the people behind you buy fancy coffee but they can also afford a car and car insurance and gas. Charitable!
AFM: I feel bad I sent H and DD out to get weekly groceries. It's a food emergency with the impending "historic" storm. But not so bad that I couldn't enjoy my nap and tv watching time.
Good morning ladies! Hope you all are planning big days and got some decent sleep. As slept (or more didn't) like absolute crap last night. I had horrible insomnia from about 3-6:30. I was hurting really bad. My vag and inner thigh muscles felt like I had had some really vigorous rough sex. Yeah, that's not happening around here. I guess I just over did it yesterday. Has anyone else had bad vaginal and thigh pain? I don't recall it from previous pregnancies, but maybe I've forgotten. I eventually took some Tylenol and it eased up enough I could sleep.
DH finally helped me yesterday and we got a ton done. We have several boxes to donate, a few for storage, and a couple giant trash bags of crap that just needs to go in the trash. Two large closets cleaned out, one to go. This will make this anxious mama much less anxious. Then I can start bringing baby stuff into the house. Woohoo! So excited!
I went over to the dump last night during my insomnia. Wow what a ghost town! They've decimated that place. I also had a warning. Apparently now asking if "you're fucking kidding me" is considered vulgar and obscene. Nice! Glad to see a few of our stragglers are finally making it over here. My warning got me wondering who amongst us has already been banned and who's gotten warnings?
I got a warning for saying "AHAHAHAHAHA fuck off" I have said so many things that were more offensive. But that's the one they warned me for, lol!
Editing to add I'm sitting in church and the pastor JUST started going on and on about how someone bought his SB coffee for him the other day and how AMAZING AND LIFE CHANGING it was. Major eye-roll. I don't love the lead pastor here, but DH plays in the worship band and it's good for him, so I go and support him the weeks he plays.

Sounds like lots of us are unfortunately in pain! So sorry for all the ones struggling. I got the OK from my OB to use Orajel so I have the left half of my face numb- it's helping some, but I can't really eat much and I'm really hungry. Hopefully I can manage the beef stew that's been teasing me from the crockpot all day..
DD is finally down for her nap and I'm thinking of taking one too, but then I found the pioneer woman on Netflix and I'm absorbed in it, lol.
Finishing cleaning out the nursery closet today. All that's left is stuff I've saved of DD's for the last 4.5 years. Newborn pics, maternity photos, shower stuff, her hospital mum, first birthday stuff, stuff saved from vacations, and other memories. It's giving me ALL the feels! I can't believe how much has happened since she was born and what an amazing journey it has been. I can't wait to do it again! I've been excited for this LO, but seeing all those memories has really gotten to me today. It's pretty cool.

My shower yesterday went great! I was feeling nervous beforehand because I don't like the attention, but it was so good to see my friends and catch up. I had a wonderful time! The only negative was my stupid swollen left foot. I barely got it in my shoe before the shower and it kept swelling throughout the day. By the end of the shower I could barely walk it was hurting so bad. I guess I'll be making a Target run for a bigger pair of shoes since I have another shower next weekend and was going to wear the same outfit.
peep - I'm glad your shower went well. Mine was nice - thanks for asking! although tiny - most people didn't come. But I had a great time with everyone there - and was just overwhelmed with the generosity of my friends. I was crying half the time. I actually didn't get anything off of my registry - but did get a ton of great stuff. There were also a few people who couldn't make it who sent me some of the big ticket items off of the registry - so overall we were so spoiled.
I wore the Seraphine knot dress - I think orchid. I am so bloated or I would post a pic...
AFM - I went to lunch and then Target with one of my girlfriends who flew in for my shower yesterday. It was so nice - but now I have to rest. I feel like I have been lifting weights with my crotch.
Oh - the best news ever - my H shaved off his nasty face pubes! I think the last straw was I told him his beard was not only a flavor saver but a germ keeper. He is so handsome again!

Hey ladies. I've been MIA and seeing all the scroll that is here when I finally roll onto the forums makes me feel like I miss so much. This is like 90% of why I lurk.
I got a new phone Friday and am still trying to figure things out. Preemptively apologizing for all the inevitable typos while I get the hang on this. I'm a little sad the thing is massive and I need two hands to do anything with it.
(That's what she said)
My mom is buying her plane ticket to come for the birth! Also had a nice chat with the MIL. That woman is BSC sometimes and can be Too Much but having distance makes me appreciate her a bit more. She really does mean well and she's great at saying lovely things and writing is really great snail mail to remind us she cares and is proud. It's nice.

heh I can't remember the last time I ordered something at Starbucks. I drink coffee less than 5 times a year but even before then the prices .... for burnt fucking coffee... no.
Good morrow lovely ladies of March 15! I can't believe Jan is basically gone. My kid has what I had last week...effing cough keeps waking him up and he is not happy about the lack of sleep. I should be doing some work right now but I really don't want to start it then have to go get the kid - lots of moving pieces to this pricing and I don't want to screw it up. So after he goes to bed I will give it a go. Trying to get our collective shit together here - nursery furniture comes friday and tomorrow storm is coming (WINTER IS COMING) so we'll see what the morning brings.
Mike was even cooler this time around getting his hair cut (3rd time - first two he got complimented too but the lady wouldn't stop talking about how awesome he was this time haha) - didn't even side eye the clippers. We wanted to get him a trim in case fit hits the shan some time in the next few weeks. We got there 10 mins before it opened and we were 5th in line. Place is crazy busy. Mike saw a baby in a carrier (car seat) and signed "baby" to me...I asked him where mommy's baby was and I THINK he pointed to my stomach. All the feels.
Also - yankee candle has girl scout cookie candles folks. Thin mints smells exactly like the real thing.

I forced my lazy pregnant ass to Trader Joe's because I knew the salted caramel gelato would make the trip worth it. Well guess what that didn't have!!! Ugh so annoyed. They put in a new order for some yesterday which means the earliest it would be at the store is this evening. Of course. So I got an apple pie and vanilla ice cream to drown my sorrows.

heh. I haven't even gotten a warning. WTF.
My posts are definitely being deleted though.
Edit - nope apparently I am rocking one warning. Look at alllll the fucks I give. I pulled the post down with Mike's birth story on it and emailed it to myself. They can have everything else.

God JUST when I thought the Republican primary season couldn't get any better - Sarah Palin is "seriously considering" LOL
She won't of course - she does this every election and EVERY election her legion of mindless followers get all excited and write checks for her to flit all over the country and do jack shit - but it's highly amusing.

I want to see American Sniper so bad but I always get teary in military movies (my husband is AD AF) and just based on the previews I have a feeling I will want to ugly cry in that movie. I'm torn between wanting to see it on the big screen or just waiting to watch it at home where I can cry in private.

katydid2015 nooooooooooo i drove by ours yesterday and was like what was that thing i wanted to get here from my mommy board?!?! I couldn't remember ha.
Taking a break from the cleaninG. Not sure if it's nesting or what but something hit me. I cleaned the kitchen, the floors, hand cleaned all our throw rugs (that was gross), did some laundry and made dh vacuum. I have to give it to him when i give him a task he goes above and beyond. Vacuuming the closets and baseboards. Ha yeah i dont go that thorough. Still have mirrors and tables to wipe down and the bathroom floor. Having long hair that sheds sucks sometimes.
R is napping!!!!! Thank the lord. Only toom her 20 min to go down. She's on the floor and not her bed but i don't give a fuck at this point.
Damn! Nesting has gone crazy is my brain! I am currently cleaning out and organizing ALL the cabinets in my laundry/utility room. It's a fairly substantial room in which I generally just shove shit that doesn't have a home in a cabinet. I've been doing this since I moved in over six years ago and have given exactly zeros fucks about how disorganized those cabinets are. Apparently it is imminently important I organize/purge and vacuum out (wtf?) those cabinets now. I'm actually laughing at myself. I didn't care about them last time, but to be fair nesting was next to impossible in my house then. We did a home remodel that took quite a bit longer than it should have. We literally finished less than a week before DD was born. There was still shit all over my house and we didn't even have a TV in the house when we came home. I nested in my guest houses last time. It was pretty insane too. Anyone else gone nesting insane? Also, my allergies are all stirred up from the dust I'm kicking up EVERYWHERE!

Just driving by to say I'm disappointed that my magnificent dick gif thread did not get me banned or even a tiny little warning. Do I need to pump up the JAM?!

I have moar randoms, and I'm trying to knock my n00b status.
I'm watching The Help on tv for the first time. It just started but it seems like a good movie.
Going to the grocery store made me too exhausted to do any cleaning today, so lame.
I also need to pull the trigger on ordering the Keekaroo changing pad I want. It is proving difficult for me to spend $100 on it though. I don't know why since I don't have a problem blowing money on other baby stuff. The giggle.com site has it in a gray color that I haven't seen anywhere else and we have gray in our nursery so I need the gray one! The best I can do as far as a discount code is free shipping. I hate paying full price for things!

I have absolutely no motivation to do anything tonight. Work is busy and all I want to do is sit on my ass and eat candy! I'm getting excited for my shower that's next weekend hearing about everyone's. It will be great to see some friends I haven't seen in a while.

R slept a whopping 20 min. 20 min. Wtf. This is not a power nAp. She's now been in there playing for 50 min because i refuse to go in.
We're not supossed to put clothes on our balcony and i have clothes plus the rugs i washed out there. I keep trying to sneak out there so my landlord doesn't see me since she can see my balcony from hers.
I just bought the remaining 24 items off of our Amazon registry. Have fun with that, UPS.
So, I have been waiting to receive our dresser- it's ikea so it is coming parcel post (?) and I saw my mail man had a broken leg or ankle boot on yesterday. Dammit, I feel bad for him, he's been a great mailman, and I really hope H is home to help if he's the one who has to deliver it.
heh I can't remember the last time I ordered something at Starbucks. I drink coffee less than 5 times a year but even before then the prices .... for burnt fucking coffee... no.

Say whatttttt??? I'll have to look online. We don't have yankee candle here.

haha nice.
I have to stock up on diaper genie refills and aveeno eczema therapy wash and lotion and we're done. We might need to pick up a box of size 1, maybe one of size 2, and we'll need some more size 3's for sure but that's a long ways off.
I still want to get a few more size 0-3 things (sleep n play type things) with fold over mittens too.
Other than that though we're good to go on the buying of the things.

I just found out that M&M's brought back their crispy M&M's... I have the deepest desire to hit every store in town to find them.... Thank goodness H is gone this week because if I find them I'm buying a ton and eating them with no regrets.
DH picked me up TWO donuts this morning to get my day going! Showering took a lot out of me since I'm mostly on the couch or bed now. I hate having my body feel this exhausted. I know I need to take it easy but really body? You gotta Rob me of taking a long lazy shower now too?! Rude. We went and got out pre baby pedicures since we are at an "any day now" point. and then I made DH take me to target too where I snailed around in a gokart and made him cringe every time I backed up or ran into a clothing fixture. That really was my favorite part of the day. We are off to the driveway to install the car seat (I'll sit and watch while DH gets angry)
