I'm so cranky today. I had a terrible fight with H yesterday, on his birthday. It was awful and I can't seem to shake it. It's making me snap at every little thing today.

Good morning, lovelies. I was able to get a Doppler check today and everything is fine. Of course I knew it would be but I feel more relaxed having proof. I also had to talk to my work this morning about reserving a parking spot in front for me. Our parking lot turns into a sheet of ice. Every year I wipe out at least once. I think it's only fair they let me take one of the never used handicap spots for the next few months.

Happy to hear the girls are fine!
I would love to have a close parking spot, hopefully after the holidays the parking lot at work will get better.

Yay! And my new booties just arrived. I normally wear knee high boots but I finally found a pair of ankle ones I like. I might have to order them in black too.

They put up a fight. But we have 3 handicap spots that I'm pretty sure have never been used at all. They said I have to take the farthest one from the door *eye roll*. Or they could salt the parking lot........but they're too lazy for that.

mustloveerica - If you wanted to, you could check your city laws because typically clearing snow and ice from sidewalks is on it and it might be more expansive. And for a private company parking lot, they absolutely should be doing it. You can tell them salting the parking lot will be many times easier and cheaper than a negligence lawsuit if you or anyone else falls. Someone slipped at my client a couple years ago due to them not clearing the lot and broke their leg in a horrible way. They sued for medical expenses.

Definitely go easy on yourself. There are so many hormones and emotions right now. H and I have talked about it and he's had to gently and nicely point out a couple times when I was starting to go off the deep end. I completely understand still feeling bad about it. I always do too. I'm sure your H will understand.

akraus2015, Hugs! I've been so moody lately and snap at H for just about anything. Pregnancy hormones are no joke.
mustloveerica, So glad the girls are okay! I also put in a request for our building to either put in "expectant mother" parking or to allow me to park in a visitor spot. Our lot is HUGE and while it does get salted, it's still not in the best of conditions. FX they allow me to park closer.
I'm just tired today. I only work in the office 4 days this week but I'm just not looking forward to it. I'm so ready to be off all of next week!

This is exactly what I was going to post. Besides being sued for negligence, their worker's comp probably wouldn't appreciate it ESPECIALLY because you're pregnant and a fall could cost them way more than normal.

Exactly! Besides the money issue, another good question to them is if they would like to have it on their conscience if a pregnant woman falls and then there are issues with the babies.
You guys are all very nice about asking and hoping they'll give you a spot. If it were me, I would bring in a note from my doctor about fall risks being avoided and basically tell them I need a closer spot or I would have to work from home until the lot was cleared. Risking my health is one thing; risking the baby's health is another. I'm already mama bear about it!
P.S. I completely understand how none of us are in a position to make "demands", but this is not for something trivial, it's for health and safety reasons. I hate how we can't feel empowered to tell them what we need when it's completely warranted.

Agreed. I used to be very timid about asking these things until both my parents became work comp adjusters and they're constantly making sure I get on my employer about safe practices as far as, say, parking spots for preggo people. I'm fortunate enough that even though my walk into work sucks, we rarely get enough moisture to cause the ground to get icy. If it did, I'd definitely be telling them to let me park on the main lot.

I can't believe that asking for a close parking spot is even an issue. I must work in some strange anomaly full of gentlemen, because the second my co-workers found out I was pregnant they've all been practically falling over themselves to help me carry things, make sure I'm not working too many hours, checking in on me, etc. My boss is even letting me hire a recruiter this summer so I don't have to do a whole lot of walking in the 100+ degree weather.
...that wasn't meant to be a #humblebrag, I'm just shocked that anyone would think twice about giving you a good parking space in the winter mustloveerica.

The bad thing is, he was totally the one in the wrong. That's why I can't seem to let it go. It's the same argument we end up having like once a month. But I will admit my reaction was probably somewhat pregnancy hormone fueled and a little over the top.

I miss the hustle and bustle of GKU. This is a really slow board, and I don't know what I'm going to do when some of you super pregos leave here. Howwww to recruit more pregnsnts?!?

Paging @xamountofwords! Who else?!
I miss GKU too! I think part of the problem is that lots of preggos spend the majority of their time on their new BMBs. I'm guilty of that. But I'd be over here a lot more if there was more action!

Not me. April 17 is even more of a ghost town. But it's probably the smallest BMB ever. There's only like a dozen active members? Tapatalk was seriously effing up my phone so I deleted it. Now I'm getting used to TCFing in safari. But I try to play here as much as possible!!!
Hey ladies! Somehow MH tricked me into wrapping all of the presents. Even the ones from him to me! Granted, he is awful at wrapping, but still.
Haha I always wrap all the presents but H either wraps mine or ropes his sister into wrapping them.
H wraps mine but I wrap all the gifts for family and friends. His wrapping paper choices kill me every year. This year I think i think my present is wrapped GI Joe paper lol. Last year it was newspaper.

My direct manager and I just had a talk about my plans for leave and after. It went so much better than I was expecting. And I officially will start mat leave on March 15. He just has to take my request for my return after leave to the head honchos to get approval and then we're good to go. It's a relief to have that off my shoulders.

I spend a lot of time on my BMB too, but mine is almost 100% STMs who posted exclusively on their old BMB before this. It's just different....I was on GKU with a lot of the same people for almost 2 years. I miss themmmm!!!
