Getting checked out at l&d. Have had a migraine since last night that isn't responding to Tylenol and I threw up the migrane meds. Doctor's office asked me to come in. Prayers appreciated.

I lost one of my maternity t-shirts somewhere in my house. It is super frustrating. It happened a couple of weeks ago when we had the house in disarray painting and having 3 houseguests. Once everyone left and we put the house back together the shirt, that I assumed was in the laundry, was not, and it was never found. I looked EVERYWHERE like more than once. I was convinced it would just show up in a really odd place. But now I am convinced I will never see it again. Which really sucks because I only have like 6 mat shirts and I need all of them!

Between the mattress and the footboard. That's where my lost clothes end up.

this might be an option, if I had a footboard...
but seriously looking in ALL the places: 

1. every drawer (especially Hs undershirts - since it was a white t-shirt)

2. every closet - (hung up, lost inside of other clothes, on the floor)
3. the laundry area (did find 2 socks I had lost previously)
4. under the bed, in the bed, in the dog bed.
5. repeat for baby's room
6. under all the furniture and in any drawer in the whole house (since we moved stuff out of the bedrooms when painting)

it is NOWHERE!

I'm down to single digits. Holy shit! I'm really hoping to have this baby in the next 5 days.

I woke up in the middle of the night with an awful charley horse. Not fun.

Hooray for both of us finally being in the single digits! I agree, if this baby would like to make an appearance before the 20th, that would be awesome.

I am having a super hard time staying awake at work. That's all the spam my just-let-me-sleep brain has today.

Just woke up from a nap.... This cold isn't getting better. and I'm emotional because I told my hubby I was gonna head out to get some saline spray and he tells me to stay home he will pick it up on the way home..... At 5 this evening. WTF... I'm sick now... And need relief now. I'm not gonna give birth for the next two weeks and I'm not on bed rest. I should've just went and told him when I got back. I'm even more mad because him and every other person in my fam thinks I can't go anywhere etc. And it's getting old. I'm a mover and a shaker and I've been sitting home since January (not med related) I'm about to explode. So yeah I had a full out cry fest. I just want to go out for some fresh air and saline spray, and cough drops, and hydrogen peroxide. Ughhhhhh...

That sucks. If I were you I'd just go out. However, I may be missing some crucial information that is keeping you locked up at home.

Usually when I'm looking for lost clothing, it's either in the washing machine, dryer or hanging on the drying rack.

ETA: or on the bathroom floor.

Nope your not missing anything ( it took a lot for us to get pregnant, had one failed IVF, and this was the successful FET, so I guess they are overly crazy), just my DH, Mom and MIL being overprotective. My mom fussed at me because I went to check the mail at the end of my driveway in 67 degree weather.

I think I figured it out..
DH doesn't want the baby to come early because he still has stuff to do before she arrives
Moms bday is 2\29 and she wants that baby to come on 2\28(DD is 2\26) as her bday present

They want me to stay pregnant til they are ready ... WTH

[GeekBeagle]

My boss has Great Danes and her H brings them into the office occasionally. They normally only come one at a time, but all three are on their way in now! Hooray!

[nomnomasaur0426]

LO is being a pain about eating right now. He just wants to latch and fall back asleep. Guess I gotta strip him down - he won't be too happy - gotta eat baby! So lazy today which I guess is fine - allows me to get some naps in.

I'm so sad DH has to go back to work tomorrow. He's been amazing taking care of me, the house, and LO. Fortunately my mom will be coming to help me out tomorrow. I'm actually feeling a lot better and like I can move more normally. Hoping OB gives me more privileges after my appointment Friday! Though I'm still not allowed to drive for another week

[tg01515]

Barely had any sleep in last few days. Those bathroom trips are really getting annoying now because I can't get comfortable when i get back to bed and when I do it's time to go pee again! I think I will try taking a nap right about now.

[maddscientist]

welp. just found out that H's job is ending next week (after being told like 2 wks ago that it would likely go through april - covering most of my UNPAID mat leave).
the ironic thing is now his last day is baby EDD.

FML.

The only positive is that if H is still unemployed when I have to go back to work (which will now likely be sooner than the 12 wks I was planning since we can't BOTH not be getting a paycheck)
and we still don't have a daycare spot (like is it now looking to be the case) we won't be scrambling for childcare

again, FML!

OH, his douche boss said he should feel free to work as long as he wants next week... since he is having a baby

Whoa--hope you're not overwhelmed by them! I don't dislike dogs, but dogs tend to REALLY like me to a fault for some reason... I'd be scared of being trampled by 3 Great Danes!

That royally blows.

Can your DH collect any unemployment pay?

We had a long night! DS was so gassy he couldn't settle down to sleep. He kept wanting to eat which was only adding to it so we tried a paci and it was glorious. He got to sleep and I got some rest. Now he keeps losing it once and a while and I keep finding it on his forehead which is cute to watch but its making him grouchy.

I have a vent. I have been home almost a week now and I have not heard one word from anyone in my family. No calls, no visits, no emails...nothing. We all live in the same small town. I called and I didn't hear back. I am pretty hurt. My DH and I are pretty reserved and independent people but come on, I just had a baby. Its one of those times it would be nice to hear from my mom.

I feel for ya. Other than my mom, most of my family seems like they could care less. It's my mom and dads first grandchild. My mom would live here if she could, but my dad had visited twice in 4 weeks and leaves Friday for a 2 month long trip to Canada to volunteer at a science center in Churchill (he does this every year so it's not a new and exciting thing). It bums me out, always thought he'd be more excited. Same with my sister. Not excited to be an aunt at all. Of course she expects me to care more than I do about her wedding, so I guess we are even. Oh well. I hope your family comes around and hopefully you have some good friends who care to visit! It can be a lonely time and support is so great to have.

LOL- I can't tell if that is sarcasm.  I have a Great Dane and while typically docile, I could see how three in an office are a bit overwhelming.  Mine has decided he needs to cram himself on the love seat with me where I am currently working. He's sleeping the day away while I'm working.

This really blows and I hope he can find something quickly as well as collect unemployment.  

[hernsy]

I swear all of my clients are starting to get nervous that I'm going to be unreachable for six weeks and choosing to call and email with all of their concerns or anything they might think my assistant can't handle. Really? Have they been saving all of this up? And you want me to get back to you on it in 24 hours? Sure! Let me pull that out of my ASS!!!

When I was a teenager, my family took care of a 6 week old Great Dane. She took a liking to my stepdad and always liked to be in his lap. It was fine when she was little. But now we go see her and she comes and jumps up on his lap. She's over 7 feet tall.

[kcrosem]

maddscientist, I am sorry! I hope YH finds something soon and at least he doesn't have to deal with the douche canoe boss anymore.

Re family not caring, DH's is like that. My dad is excited but not sure when he will make the 2 hour trip in. He was way more into ds1 once he was older.

Nope these three are great!

hernsy Not sarcasm at all. I love doggie visits at the office. She was actually only going to bring two in and I told her the third would be sad at home alone, so she got him to bring them all. They're very well behaved, just slobbery. Except one pooped in the office today. Oops.

[danitaec]

Another teacher asked me today when my last day was. I told her it's the day before my due date, and she said, "Uh oh, are we gonna have to call an ambulance?" Really? The hospital is 10 minutes away, it's my first baby, and somehow I don't think it's only going to take 5 minutes. Come on, people.

[dramacat]

Well, it wasn't pre E. My blood pressure was fabulous, so that's good. I was given some pain pills and discharged. I'm heading home for a nap. Thanks for all the prayers ladies.

That sucks so much! What a crappy thing to do >< Can he get unemployment at least?  I hope he finds something soon

[kricha2010]

I am feeling all the feels today and yesterday...
crying over nothing, crying over something, exhausted, energized, INSANE lightening crotch, baby girl moving my belly like an alien, continuous braxton hicks/tightening, back aches, etc etc...
I sure as hell better find out that all of this has made some progress from my last check 2 weeks ago. We shall see, appt is in the morning!

[allonsy221b]

Doctor just called and moved my version/induction/VBAC a day later. I feel like he moved it a week haha. I'm excited for some more time for DS to cook, and for DD to recover from this cold though. I am worried that the extra day will somehow effect the success of the version. Good news is my leave will still start on Tuesday instead of being moved to Wednesday (my job is usually a stickler).

I'm not usually the type to do this, I'm putting on a brave face for my family and DH, but any extra T&P's you can spare that the version is successful and I can get my VBAC would be so appreciated. We are most likely done after this one and I so badly want to know what actual labor is like and have the experience of pushing and having a baby placed on my chest instead of whisked away to a nursery. Of course any sign of danger I'll be the first one to say get him out now, but I want to have the chance to try. Thank you in advance.
