My vent for today...I hoard weight while BFing and not only do I hoard it, I just keep packing on the pounds. I am not doing anything different than usual (except nursing/pumping less and supplementing)but I keep gaining weight. I realize that I am not burning as many calories now, but I eat relatively healthy, don't overeat, and really don't drink a whole bottle of wine every night (seriously I don't) so I just don't get it. I'm convinced that my hormones are just completely out of whack because I am just finishing my first PP period that was like something out of a horror film, and have been nauseous the last three days. I can't even fit into pants/jeans that I was wearing a month ago. I know that it was the same when I BF Henry but I don't remember putting on this much weight then...but since I can't remember yesterday I am sure I don't remember that correctly either.

+1 I have only lost about half of my pregnancy weight.  The other day I weighed myself and I gained 4 lbs back! WTF body and BF! I am eating pretty good and doing portion control.

origamimommy, Hugs. You have had a rough time this year, but are doing a great job. I know that 2016 will be better for you and your family. I am sorry about your dog. It is always hard to lose a pet.

Yes! I gained 30 lbs with Dagny & lost it all fast except 5lbs. Fine, no biggie & I could wear all my old clothes. This time I gained 40lbs & have only lost 25. I'm only 5 weeks PP so hopefully once I get the OK to exercise that'll help.

Hugs everyone!

E just projectile vomited on H, the living room and tge kitchen. She is happy as a clam now. It was mostly her lunch? I really hope she isn't a random vomiting kid like G.

[somethingcleverer]

One more vent. I'm sick of being told I'm unreasonable when I tell h not to watch inappropriate shows in front of the kids. Is there any reason he can't watch csi, NCIS, whatever cop drama that has way too much violence and guns after bedtime? Tonight's argument is a result of NCIS and the woman who was about to shoot herself on the screen. Of course h pauses it and the whole TV is a woman with a gun to her head. Just what the kids need to see, they already don't sleep in their beds. Tonight I'm sending them to sleep with h.

[origamimommy]

So I guess be careful what you wish for, because I've been vomiting nonstop since lunch. Oh the joys of pregnancy... But I have symptoms so that's a good thing!

I agee. The I things we watch with E around are football games, HGTV, Food network stuff. We save all our shows for after bedtime.

[somethingcleverer]

I'm so frustrated because I've had this argument so many times. I even made a comment tonight before the gun part and he wouldn't turn it off. He tells me he's not watching those shows in front of the kids but I know the weekends I work or whenever he thinks I'm not paying attention he puts that shit on.

Shush!!

So E has puked like 4 more times. Don't quote because I will probably DD but H is not making it better. He has been needing to work on taking responsibility of things lately. Everything that goes wrong is my fault or he has an excuse. Well he took change out of his pocket and set it on the table. Huge no no here. Gage gets it, freaks when you take it, but he tries to share with Ellison. So I said "seriously H you know better ". Immediately it wasn't his fault because of the puke. I said "okay well you could have 1 told me to take it and out it away, I was right there or 2 put it away 5 seconds after I was cleaning IP the puke." Then it went straight to " You (meaning me) saw me put it down you should have taken it."

NONoNo dude! YOU did it YOU didn't put it up YOU need to work on it. He pisses me off so bad! No sleep makes it 99% worse. Just own your own mistakes.

[paddyb]

bantyrooster that would be super annoying. H takes similarly ridiculous positions some times. I can't even.

[xanthepants]

bantyrooster, ugh. That would drive me crazy. I'm sorry E is so sick, poor baby. I hope she is feeling better soon.

somethingcleverer, I agree with you. We really don't put that stuff on anymore and have just given it up completely. Both of us. We miss it, but it just has to be, I don't want Coco to see that stuff.

[roo1582]

We have even gotten to the point where we don't watch the news anymore since there is a lot on there that Kayleigh doesn't need to see.

bantyrooster, that's got to be so annoying! He needs to take responsibility for his actions. You're not his mother. Hugs girl. I hope E starts feeling better soon.

[origamimommy]

So my boss just told me having a dog is harder than having a toddler because at least my toddler can tell me what wrong.

Uh huh. Sure. What the fuck??!!?!

[tribute17]

roo1582, starfishy, If the Royals win tomorrow night, we may have a world series battle on the board. Go Royals!!

Can I continue this, even though it's Friday?

Vent: We put new carpet in our master bedroom before listing the house because the other carpet was old and stained. Somehow in the past week or two our dog has decided she should use it as a pee pad. It's a dark color so it's hard to see where she's peed, but we can definitely smell it. We spent awhile last night "sniffing" the carpet to find spots. Now we're going to have to spend part of our already busy weekend deep cleaning the carpet. Damn dog!

[trixi282]

summergirl1211, that sucks... Maybe leave your br door closed from now on?

trixi282, Yeah, we've been keeping it closed, so I think she's doing it in the middle of the night. She's been taking some steroids for seasonal allergies and they make her eat/drink more. Yet she doesn't wake us up to take her out or anything. It's so frustrating.

Our cat did that when we got new carpet. It didn't take long before she went back to my parents house (where she originally lived).

She did it again last night, which didn't make sense because she had just gone out 3 hours ago and I got up MOTN to take her out again. We are finally making the connection between Riley sneaking in our room all night long and the dog peeing. I think she's feeling threatened by Riley invading her sacred bed/bedroom. Hopefully Riley starts sleeping better soon because the dog better not pee on our carpet at our new house!! 

[trixi282]

summergirl1211, that sucks. Does your dog sleep in your bed? Does Riley come into your bed?

Does your dog have a dog bed or space that's just her space she can go to? I'm glad you found a pattern, but I'm sorry that's happening.

trixi282, yep the dog sleeps in our bed. We've tried dog beds in the past but all she does it tear them up. She obviously doesn't understand they're beds and not toys. She has a kennel but really doesn't consider it a "safe" place like other dogs. She really just wants to be near us.

Riley usually sneaks in and lays on the floor and then my H or I get up, take her back to her room and wait for her to fall asleep. Occasionally we'll let her climb in bed if it's a weekend and almost time to get up, but mostly she's on the floor. I think in general the dog considers our room to be her room and doesn't like Riley disturbing her. 

We'll figure it out somehow. It's just going to take time.
