Thankful TP Thursday

[Ray]

What are you thankful for today?

Or

Who are you thankful to TP?

[ginabini]

Today I want to TP my husband, for no reason in particular. I feel horrible, but as it gets closer to the end of this pregnancy and I get more and more uncomfortable it gets harder and harder to not resent him slightly for not having to go through any of this crap. The poor man has done nothing but support me through all of this, but seeing him still snoring away at 8am this morning when I basically haven't slept in two days is just infuriating.

I'm thankful for H this morning. He sent me to bed early last night and let me sleep in late today. I got up and helped feed the girls and he took DS with him to run some errands and left me to snuggle sleeping babies.

ginabini, I feel the same way towards H sometimes. I can never sleep past 7 am, even on the weekends. When I see him still sleeping at like 9 or 10 am on the weekends I get irrationally angry. I want to be able to sleep! I am the one who needs it!

[mcktymck]

+1 about the feelings towards H sometimes. I know most of it is just because I'm tired and done with everything and everyone because he's been so great the entire pregnancy. But last night his toe was really hurting him so he was laying on the couch and asked me to get up and help put an ice pack on it. As I'm laid up on the other couch because my pelvis was hurting and my feet were swollen and throbbing. He had been whining about his toe all night and I know that it does hurt, but when we're out walking and he's talking about how he's limping because of it, while I'm doing the 36 week pregnancy waddle behind him feelin' like my pelvis is breaking apart and having sharp cervix pain, it's hard to be all "oh you poor thing!"

I am thankful my DH has a sense of humour and makes me laugh.

TP to him for chasing me around the yard with the hose. I was not laughing.

[ginabini]

Ray, I'm sure it wasn't funny... but now I'm laughing thinking about someone chasing me with a hose, because it wouldn't be much of a chase. I'd be sitting there like the little fat kid in Billy Madison saying "whyyyy are you doingggg thissssss" lol

Lol yes. I got thoroughly soaked.

I wanted to tp my dog last night. She has an anxiety attack during the storm. Was panting for an hour by our heads.

The toddler slept Thru it.

Tp nausea. Been feeling so sick all day, puked this morning.

That's my 2 year old's favorite game. Every night it's "daddy do water? Catch water?"

[rungirlrun]

I want to TP pregnancy in general. I've been so fortunate and thankful to have an uneventful and easy pregnancy so far, but these past couple of days I've been starting to feel not so amazing and just over it. I can't handle the heat (90+ degrees everyday), dealing with a toddler with way too much energy, moving, and just being super pregnant all day every day. My H is great, but neither one of us really gets much downtime. There is always something we are both taking care of. I'm starting to regret not taking my parents up on their offer to come help with the move.

Ok whine over. I'll be more thankful and optimistic about life tomorrow.

I feel you on the heat and toddler! I sit under the patio umbrella while he runs around the yard or plays in his water table. Mommy is not fun anymore.

I have similar feelings about my husband. He has helped more with chores since school is out, but basically he sleeps in an does whatever he wants all day as our daughter is still going to daycare full time. So i am super pregnant working full time preparing meals in the evenings doing all daycare dropouts and most pick ups. Oh and I have a cold which means I really can't sleep. I wish he got more done with all his free time. I am so jealous of it.

[littlesthobo]

I'm not feeling thankful today, just whiny and overwhelmed. So I'll share my weird pregnancy dream with you all!

I'm due with a boy, and last night I dreamt that after I gave birth to him and the nurses were cleaning him up, a baby girl fell (literally fell!) out of my vag. DH caught her before she hit the floor. And everyone was like whoa! We didn't know there were twins in there!

This morning I had to reassure myself that I've had four ultrasounds and KNOW there's only one in there!

[ellebelle]

rungirlrun it's been like 90+ with humidity here pretty much every day for the past two weeks. It's rough. And especially with chasing after another one. Hope the moving chaos is over with soon!

[mcktymck]

rungirlrun you're allowed to have off days and complain! You've got a lot on your plate right now. Try to take it nice and easy, even if that means spending ten minutes at a time on the move and then walking away from it for a while.

littlesthobo haha yikes, can you imagine?! This isn't dream-related, but someone made a comment about how we better hope the ultrasound was correct because we have SO MUCH sporty boy stuff. It definitely got my mind going, considering the anatomy scan was the final one we had back at 20 weeks. It was fairly obvious that he's a boy, but the thought still comes up the closer we get!

I had bought H a giant bag of Sour Patch Watermelon as part of his bday gift. We've been picking at it since Sunday, but today I'm working up in our bedroom and decided to have some after my lunch...I ate the entire rest of the bag, including the pile of sour sugar at the bottom Sorry H for eating your candy, sorry Sam for the huge sugar rush you're about to have!

Dh loves sour patch kids. I got him a box to snack on in the hospital!

[rungirlrun]

mcktymck, good timing. I'm currently eating Sour Patch Watermelon! I don't even feel guilty - I just don't even care that much anymore about making healthy food choices. I'm pretty good at meals so this baby is getting vitamins and such, but at this point, if I want to snack on sugar and processed junk, I'm going to do it.

Good wife! haha   Both H and I are big fans of sour candy, my sweet tooth is so awful right now though. What else are you planning on bringing for H for hospital snacks?

Absolutely, that's the same way I see it! I try and eat decent for the 3 main meals and most of my snacks so that if I want some sort of treat (which is basically every day at this point) then I don't feel bad at all. I love that we were eating the same candy, great taste!

have you specifically asked for help? I know at our house DH is great with helping out but needs to be specifically asked to do something, he doesn't generally just think to do laundry or clean a bathroom etc. maybe he just needs some direction

Hahaha absolutely not! I'm pretty sure the instructor of our childbirth class told us to bring a bunch of quarters, so you're totally good! Less to worry about lugging to the hospital that way too

When ds was born we were able to add hospital meals for dh, which we did for the first 2 days. Then we asked people to bring stuff for him or he walked to get something.

I think I will put some granola bars in there. He will probably add his own goodies in there.

This was us too.

[comicSans]

H is responsible for his own snacks if he wants them. He can have 1 meal a day in the hospital, but hopefully is mom will also be around when the little guy comes, so he can get food with her and DD or she can bring things.

[Ray]

Stm question: how long were you in the hospital for?
