My grandma died this morning. I didn't get to say goodbye, which I thought would bother me a lot more but for some reason it's not. I saw her two weeks ago. I know she knew I loved her. I'm doing that thing where I act devoid of emotions and try to just move along. I'm going down there today.
So, in other news (because I am trying to busy myself) I just had a BBQ chicken pizza from Pizza Hut and it was delicious. I have also been avoiding the onslaught of supportive text messages because I don't think I can handle them right now. But I am so appreciative I have such supportive friends.
babymakes5, good news - you *should* be able to get away without getting dilated if you seem healthy. Unless there is a specific reason, the typical drugs used to dilate are class C, so maybe just ask if it required? Gestational diabetes is a reason I can think off the top of my head that you might need it done, but I'm sure there are others! This all coming from what DH told me - he's an optometrist, and doesn't want to dilate me for no reason, even though I'm due.
Thanks! He didn't even say anything about dilating, but this is a different office so maybe they have different protocols... Guess I lucked out
This would probably be more suited for FFFC, but I just ate, we'll just say several, spoonfuls of leftover cake icing that was in the fridge. Then I set my sights on the jar of pickles. There were no survivors. Hello, I'm just your friendly neighborhood cliche.

Yeah man, pickles don't last long in my house. DH gives me endless shit about it haha
2 randoms. Pooping is currently my greatest pleasure in life. Orgasms don't mean anything. Pooping is the best. And SO and I are seriously considering an elective ultrasound to find out the gender. You all who already know have made me SOOOOO impatient. Judge away!!!! Haha

I just put on makeup and a cute shirt for the first time in a few days and feel like a new woman. I really should make an effort on the days that I don't work, it just makes me feel better about myself. Especially in this "is she pregnant or just getting fat?" stage.
I missed a Harry Potter question on trivia crack today. I'm pretty sure I'll excuse myself from this group now before people start throwing rocks at me.

I know nothing about Harry Potter. I missed a question where the answer was actually Harry Potter. It made me feel really stupid but I don't know a single thing about the books or movies.

I am getting sushi for dinner tonight and I am SO excited! I have been craving it for months and finally got DH on board with it being ok. Black pepper tuna roll here I come!

I am cutting all my hair off today. Like, if you look at my avatar, it's LONG. It's really really long. I haven't cut my hair in four years. But I am so tired of how long it is, and this pregnancy has sapped all the life from my hair. It's so nasty.

To add to that, apparently when you ask for content deletion they're offering to change all of your posts to "anonymous" instead, which benefits them by making your content still "googleable" and therefor getting more pageviews for TB. To make sure they don't benefit from your content, make sure to insist on full content deletion!

My depression has flared up again and hubs is being a total dickhole about it. These are his exact words, "What is my purpose? If I can't make you feel better and you confirm that by not stating differently when I say I can't help then what am I here for?"
I want to tell him to fuck off and leave me alone and then just throw myself in bed and have a giant sob-fest, but we have a family gathering to go to once he gets off work. I don't understand why he doesn't understand that nobody can pull me out of my depression except myself. He's convinced all the time when my moods strike that HE is the reason I'm upset or that HE has to make me feel better when it's not something that can be fixed. I've stopped trying to off myself so just leave me alone and let me drag myself out of it. All he is doing is making it worse by whining like a child.

DH still only allows me to eat cooked sushi (fiiiiine, I'll comply), and usually reads the restaurant the riot act about my being pregnant when he orders. Even then he's all freaked out about the (minute) risk of cross-contamination. He caved last night and brought me some of those cooked rolls, and it was deeeeelicious!

DD has a fever of 102.3 and I'm rocking her like crazy trying to get her to nap. She doesn't act like she's tired or sick at all. I just want to nap too!!

From somebody who suffered through depression, sometimes the best thing people can do is tell you that everything is going to be okay. Maybe go for a walk to clear your head? Let me know if you need to talk
ladyannibal, so sorry you're struggling still. I understand the feeling you describe and really struggled with it a lot when we were dealing with IF. My DH had a similar reaction. It's hard to get someone to understand feelings like that if they've never experienced them themselves. I just had to remind myself that he felt that way because he loved me and wanted me to feel better (as aggravating and frustrating as it may be). Has you HG gotten any better at least? I really hope things start looking better for you. Lots of hugs!!

So. Away it goes. And I'm honestly nervous!
I did this too. I've had my hair trimmed over the past year, but I was growing it out. It got too long for me so now I have a lob, or long-Bob. I'm so happy I did it.

So the Babies R Us is going out of business by my moms. I decided to check out the 70% off everything sale today and was completely devestated. There was nothing but fixtures left. Womp womp womp.
