So, today has been both irritating and ok. Woke up and went to have breakfast with H's parents and grandma because there were a couple visitors in from out of town. Had a great conversation with them about everything from the VA, different therapy options, to baby names.
And then we left and things went south for me. H asked if I wanted to go to my parents. Weird question since I hadn't mentioned them at all. I said I thought we were headed home. Well, guess he needed to sleep and didn't want DS or I in the house because if we were there, he wouldn't be able to get sleep. Oh fucking darn. So I told him I was planning on getting the house picked up, etc. And the ass had the audacity to tell me he didn't think I'd get anything done unless he was up because I haven't all week; that I've complained about the house and have done nothing to pick it up. Well no shit. Because I'm fucking tired and hurting and pregnant and need help and he's been spending his free time off of school playing his stupid video games and hanging out with friends. Must be fucking nice.
I said none of that. I just said that he could drop me off at my parents and DS and I would stay there. It's been 7 hours. He hasn't bothered to come by until now. Still pissed.
Ohhhh thelittleredm, I'm pissed off for you! Not cool at all Mr M. If my H said something that shitty I'm not sure what I would do or say but it wouldn't be nice.

I was just so mad that I couldn't decide what to respond with. I also heard him mention to my mom after he got here that he didn't know why I was being so vague in my text responses tonight before he came over. My mom didn't verbally respond so I imagine she just shrugged. She was pissed for me earlier. Sometimes I wish she'd overstep boundaries and tell him things but that won't ever happen.
thelittleredm wtf you your H. Sorry he's being such an ass.
peaseblossom55, I think biscotto had some great advice. I know DS was much different at night for a bit and our ped also recommended eating every 2 hours during the day to try to get it all in before nighttime and I do think that helped us. And swaddling + white noise was a lifesaver during this stage. Hang in there, mama. It does get better!
I seem to be on some kind of 3 hour sleep schedule. Restless sleep for 3 hours, up for 3 hours, restless sleep for 3 hours. Guess my body is getting me ready.
Good morning & happy new year! Raise your hand if you are freaking out it's January! MH and I are using today and tomorrow to finish DDs new room and the nursery.
We had a yummy dinner with crab legs and I indulged in some prosecco, went to bed at 9:30, and DD STTN! Woo hoo!

I'm equal parts thrilled and terrified that I'm only 3 weeks away from my due date. My body is SO ready to be done, but the rest of me still has stuff to do to get ready.
Also, now that it's the new year I have to sort out insurance stuff since the provider switch is now effective. I also have to sort out how to apply for leave under the new business maternity policy that didn't go into effect until today. Sooooo.....thank goodness it's a Sunday and I can procrastinate all these things until the first business day of the month! Hehe.

Happy New Year! I'm thrilled it's January. Get this child out of me, ha. I know I have extra fluid around the baby, but if one more person tells me how giant I am, I might not be so nice.
My new year started with night sweats that were so bad I had to change my clothes twice MOTN. Nothing says happy new year like washing all your bedding!
Does anyone else get night sweats? Last time I got them bad for about 2 weeks PP, but never while pregnant.

Same thing here. I have an appointment on Tuesday and so does my son. I have no clue what our copays are as we've switched from a deductible only plan. I tried to call last week and they said they couldn't help me until the new year. So, not helpful at all.
Seriously side eying a relative who in response to my new years meh don't care baby due in 2 weeks post goes "he'll probably be at lease 12 days late" Thanks, said no pregnant woman EVER. I'm fully aware he could be late and all that jazz but a girl can hope right.
AND my partner has eaten all the biscuits (cookies) I brought yesterday for me and M. Didn't get a look in.
Happy New Year! I'm having a baby sometime this month 😳.
DH, DS and I went to a friend's house for dinner last night. DS had an epic meltdown after dinner so we came home and I put him to bed soon after. Meaning I had the rest of the night to myself. It was kinda nice.
So I still have an ice addiction, which is fine, helps keep me hydrated. Our ice machine was having trouble keeping up with all of the people in my house so mh went and bought me a bag of sonic ice, the best crunch-able ice. He also reset the ice machine so it is full now too. Well my FIL keeps using MY sonic ice. Mh has told him at least twice that he can use the ice maker now but he keeps using my ice. I know it's petty but grrr 😡
DS1 has been messing with his diapers a lot lately and getting more agitated when he pees or poops. No rash though. It would figure that he would start showing potty training signs the last few weeks before I'm due.

Good morning!
H let me sleep in instead of having to get up with DS! I mean, it was still grudgingly because he asked me twice if I was *really* tired or not but whatever.
I also have the insurance game to play. I think at this point, it's mostly sorted out. Our new insurance is going to be paying for us to deliver at our original hospital of choice and they're charging in-network costs instead of out-of-network costs which is great and like half the expense! Apparently, landing H's company as a client was a huge deal for them so they're basically kissing their feet so to speak which is why our care at this stage is considered a special case.
You ladies had me panicking for a few because we haven't received new insurance cards yet! But I logged into the system and I think everything is just the same.
I'm in bed. I can't keep anything down. Not sure if from the cough or new antibiotics or if this is a separate, new stomach bug. Seriously ready to be well now. TMI, but I'm totally going to use up all the pads I bought for PP before I even have this baby since my body just cannot handle the force. Sick at 36w is super fun!
DS has been a sweetie pie, but he constantly wants to be touching me, so I had H take him out. So nice just being alone

DS slept through the fireworks but my poor dog was wandering around and whining after every new volley. And some asshole super close set off a big one at 2:30 which woke me up. Grr.
Also had a headache all night despite Tylenol before bed. Caffeine seems to have finally resolved it.
Made breakfast, finishing up my coffee. Today is for laundry and hopefully organizing baby clothes and going grocery shopping.

Happy new year! Dh took mornin duties so I could sleep in. I slept like crap thanks to combination of pregsomnia and numb arms/ sore hips. We've been lounging and playing around. I suppose I'll tidy up the house during nap. I was really hoping that I wouldnt have to go back to work on Tuesday but it appears that this baby is not ready to come out.

rinny, I hope you start feeling better soon. I am so glad I've managed to avoid getting whatever flu bug has been circling my family.
silvermelody, Fireworks -.- My parents neighbors behind their house were setting mortars off right over their house. H was reacting a lot better than normal up until that point and then it was a major struggle. Also, fireworks after 12:30 just make you an asshole, IMO.
heybulldog56, Ha! I was hoping this baby would be here by now so that I didn't have to go into work tomorrow. No pay periods would've been messed up, I would've been happier in general. But alas.
My DD is having a clingy day too rinny. I'm touched out and it's only 1pm.
Ugh. I've been waking up with sore hips and numb hands too heybulldog56. Combine those with pregsomnia and needing to always pee and I'm exhausted. I feel like even being up every few hrs with a newborn is looking better and better at this point.

Dh just declared he will build the book shelves for DS's room today. I guess me walking around groaning and mumbling "this baby needs to come out now" has inspired him.
PSA for those who have a SAMs membership they have their pampers and huggies diapers $6 off a box this month. It's 2 per member but still a great deal.

Finally finished going through DS's room and tossing all the broken toys and doing some reorganizing in general. Took so long! Still need to vacuum but my sciatic is giving me hell so I'm relaxing on the couch while H sits next to me and folds clothes.
