I'm just sleepy this morning. Knock on wood, but I am still sleeping well, but I'm due at the end of the month so maybe pregsomnia is right around the corner. 😐I am so busy at work today. I have Court an hour from my house, and then have to drive 1.5 hours downtown in 1 hr to get to a 3-4 hr dep. Luckily, it's Friday, and I will sleep in tomorrow!
Total reading fail - I thought you meant the end of THIS month and had quite a long moment of whaaa? How?! I'm super good at this right now, I should take the SATs for fun or something.
I did the same thing and even looked at her signature to find out for sure.

A buffalo wild wings lunch seemed to make me less grumpy. Now I'm just tired from the sugary drink but can't take a nap. My brother and I are getting ready to sign our life away on a loan for our office building. Maybe after that I will.
So I'm now kinda glad I got ride of all our baby stuff. There are self rocking rnp's now.
NEED IT.
Yea....I kind of want to get it, but my RNP is perfectly fine.
I'm starting from the ground up so I can justify it. I'm getting the one that vibrates, self rocks and connects to your phone. I've gotten everything second hand so I don't even feel bad for the almost $200 price tag.
I just discovered my shirt has been on backwards all day.
Been there, done that. One night I only noticed when I was getting undressed at the end of the day to take a shower! The other day I talked to a coworker for a good 10 minutes and never noticed her blouse was inside out! She came back later to tell me I was not a good friend because I didn't tell her, but I was just too oblivious to notice. Gah!

I want one of these fancy ones too, but can't really justify the price. We never got one for DS so it's not like we already have one...I just hope it's magical. Haha

I've gone back and forth about buying it tbh. What made me decided on it was the portability. I spend a lot of time at my dad's farm and my mom's house so the familiar place to sleep will *hopefully* make that kinda stuff easier.
I am nesting hard core. I didn't do this with my first. I can no longer be trusted to shop anywhere with home goods.
Thank goodness for our upcoming move. I can't justify buying any more crap at the moment, so those nesting urges are being curbed for the time being. T&Ps for my bank account in a few months when I start making up for lost time!
This is me too. I am aching to get things done and have all sorts of organizers I want to buy but since we're moving soon and I don't know what our new house will be like I haven't bought anything. DS was born just prior to a move as well so it was the same, nesting urge with no way to satisfy it. Maybe some day I'll have a baby I can prepare for (not likely with the military but I can dream).
At my glucose test. They won't let me run upstairs to my ob's office to tell them I did my shot last night so now I have to call when I'm done. Shockingly a phone call takes longer than it would take for me to just go upstairs and tell them. A nice couple reeking of smoke just sat down next to me.
Whyyyy is all of this happening today?
Things could be so much worse so I feel like an ass for complaining but holy shit.
Don't feel like an ass. It is all understandable. I totally get the smoke thing. I hate it so much. I'm also an ex-smoker so really bothers me even when I'm not pregnant. I don't make a big deal of it because that is the nature of being in a public place, but I am not shy about covering my nose/leaning away. At worst they will ask if it is them, to which you can say "Yeah, sorry. Cigarette smell is pretty intense while pregnant." They'd be the dicks for making it a problem or not moving.
I hope your day gets better! I'm sorry it has been so hectic.
30 weeks today! Just got out of my 30 week OB checkup and apparently my belly is currently measuring 33 weeks. 😳 No wonder I'm feeling bigger than I did at this point in my last pregnancy!
My regular OB has been on vacation the past couple of weeks, so I saw yet another doctor for my appointment today. Yeah... I'm not really a fan of the guy I saw today. He said my last bile acid test came back normal (which it technically did), but then tried to write off my itching getting worse as a normal pregnancy thing. Um, no. Sorry dude, but even though you think it's "overkill" to retest again, once you've had ICP in one pregnancy it's the recommended protocol to test bile acids every 2 weeks during 3rd trimester, especially when experiencing symptoms. It's not that hard to click a few buttons on your computer to order the damn tests. Oh well... thankfully I've educated myself enough to be able to advocate for the proper care and am willing to be a bit of a bitch to make sure it happens!
That's so irritating! But you go mama! Who cares if they're annoyed they have to do their frigging job? You've been an awesome advocate for yourself and your LO

OB check up this morning went well. Doctor was very supportive of my plan to donate cord blood.
I stopped at the store on the way home to buy bigger underwear because my "big" pairs no longer contain my assets. I didn't pay too much attention at the time but my 4 pack was actually 3. It looked like every other package, so someone systematically stole the same pair of underwear from each pack. Kind of sad really.
Then I stopped at Babies R Us and played with the new Chicco Bravo for 2 like it was mine already. I took it off the shelf, steered it down a few aisles, took down a keyfit infant seat to see how it fit in there. A dude employee seemed annoyed, but then later a younger woman employee came over and wanted to play with it, too.
Buckle up, 'cause this is gonna get real tl;dr (and not in a totally-worth-it-great-story-10/10-would-read-again kind of way)
I have no idea what to do about my appointments next week. I have one on Thursday at 11am and another on Friday at 10am. Both are within 20mins of each other but are (like all my appointments) around 2hrs from my house. My H's work is pretty much the halfway point between my house and my appointments. Normally I leave my house, drop my H off at work, go to my appointment and hangout at my mom's until I need to pick my H up and go home. Logistically, this makes sense and isn't really any extra driving. WELL, this week and next, my H is on the evening shift which finishes at midnight, so I either have to go to the appointments alone and rush to be home by 2:00 so my H can get to work on time, which means 4hrs driving for 30min-or-less appointments with no break 2 DAYS IN A ROW. OR, my H comes with me one/both days and I drop him off at work on the way back home. That means I would have to pick him up at midnight (so, wake up C at 10:40 to drive the hr to his work, then back).
ANYWAY, we could all go Thursday and spend the night at my mom's, but for reasons this is not ideal. Mostly comfort and other lame reasons. It'd mean way less driving and a bit of extra sleep before my Friday 10am appt, since I can leave my mom's at 9:15, rather than my house at 8am. I was thinking it'd be nice to get a hotel for a night at a mid-point between H's work and my appointments. I could enjoy not having to clean up any mess, maybe take C for a swim, and we would have very little driving in comparison. However, this means a moderate amount of $$ for only one night in a hotel and we don't really have the funds.
I just don't know what call to make. If I was convinced the hotel could be made into a nice little getaway for a night, then I'd say worth it, but my mind operates on frugality and I am struggling to make a more comfortable decision when I know I could stay at my mom's for free. As I type this out I am seeing that the smartest choices are to either stay at my mom's or to drive alone both days but uuuuuugh. They aren't as shiny and happy options as the hotel. FWP!

Strollers ain't cheap henny. Fck a bitter dude and his bitter ass.
obi Under that scenario, I'd probably be inclined to stay with family and cut down on driving time without spending additional funds for a hotel. However if there's any drama or cracker-eating situations involved, I'd probably rather drive than deal with the additional stress.
You're 100% in line with my logical side on this one. No real major cracker eating scenarios. Itd just be a full house since my brother is living there and there is some tension between him and my mom, so the possibility of some awkward moments exists. My brother can be a real sassy bitch. On the other hand it could be a nice buffer for my mom to have us around. Also, her bed... Actually her house in general- is not comfortable at all but for one night, NBD.
obi Does CA have priceline.com where you can name your price and they give you a last minute deal on a hotel, you just can't choose which hotel?
You can stipulate ratings, pool, location, etc.
I would not be driving. Too many variables to make sure everyone gets where they need on time.
I think we do have priceline, ill have to take a look. Ive browsed a couple sites like Trivago and Kayak and so far the best price is $149 before tax. So it'd bring us to around $170. Anything less was... Not great. I think I will probably end up staying at my moms though, unless my H convinces me otherwise.
MH isn't going to make it home until tomorrow afternoon. Boo!
Im sorry lady. That really sucks. Get to bed as early as possible and sleep the time away!
If only I could! Clara will be up at 6-6:30. MH is on his first flight. The one to Atlanta. He left a very confusing message about it being canceled but then not. Hoping the Atlanta one will actually leave. So far it's delayed an hour. So he'll land in CLE at 1 am instead of 12am

It is 10:41pm and I am at my office dealing with frozen f'ing pipes. I didn't think to leave the water dripping until about 9:30 and by the time I got here it was too late.
Being self-employed blows sometimes, or in my experience, most of the time.

Oh no! I hope you can get things to a good place and get home to get some rest soon ~huge hugs~

Thanks. Turned a heater on and my brother is going to have his wife drive him (he's been drinking) back up to check it in an hour or so. If it's not running then he's moving the heater to a safer area and then I'll go back in the morning when I wake up and move it back to the source.
Another cousin got engaged. My other cousin got engaged two weeks ago and is planning for May 2018. Plus BIL is getting married this November and H's college roommate is getting married this June. One the roommate one is local.
I feel broke already...
I can relate. Weddings have been crazy, we had 3-4 each year from 2012 to 2015 plus a few we couldn't make it to. Last year we didn't have any but there have been a lot of engagements again so 2017 and 2018 could be pretty full again.
