Tuesday Symptoms/Randoms/Etc!

[carolyngrace]

I was woken up by a nightmare and need to calm myself down and try to get back to bed... I was just reading my Dump update about how my dreams may be increasing again, and thinking "hmm... I haven't had any intense dreams." Then BAM, huge nightmare tonight. 

To be fair, I saw a really difficult client yesterday. He has a violent past and made advances at me once... We addressed it head on, and I've continued to see him, but I think sometimes it still shakes me up. Also, DH worked a night shift last evening, so I had to go to bed without him in the house. I'm pretty sure that triggered the dream. But it was a very specific, I'm being attacked, dream. Ugh!!!! 

That reminds me, do any of you have an alarm system? When we bought our house I always said I wanted one at some point. Mainly for nights I'm home alone, or for when we have kids (not as worried about protecting our stuff as protecting people). Maybe it's because I feel freaked out, but I'm wondering if that would help me feel safer overall.

That sucks, sorry to hear it was scary. The other night I dreamt my DH was sleeping with a mutual friend and didn't care when I found out. I was so mad at him when I woke up ha ha.
For what it's worth, we have an alarm and at night we just set it to a door bell sound if it senses movement outside of our bedroom rather than the full blown siren. Usually it's the dog!
It is there so we use it but I'm not sure if it's that much of a comfort when I'm home. More so when we go away and set it for the whole house.
If you think it might make you more comfortable when home alone, why not?

[missjenniebean]

I'm sorry that you had a nightmare. They are the worse, specially when home alone.
My alarm system is my pup, small enough to be in an apartment but big enough to be scary. Her bark is loud and deep, sounds like a bigger dog. Ja.
If it makes you more comfortable talk to your hubby!

[leenziepops]

carolyngrace Yikes! Maybe you need to drop this client if he's still making you nervous.

I got my GD results today and passed! Just had a cupcake to celebrate
Just enjoying seeing movements of my LO. Makes it all worth it when my back is sore in the evenings.

[missjenniebean]

Uhm guys...there is a DECEMBER 2015 group now. Holy moly! Where is the time going?!

leenziepops - yay for passing!

Back the truck up! I need to go freak out with another cupcake.

[missjenniebean]

I'm kinda jealous you can eat them! Those and cookies give me heartburn everytime, homemade or store bought!

Is it really possibly to be having December babies already?!

[leenziepops]

missjenniebean I think the board is there for preparation. Noone would be getting BFPs yet for Dec since it would be too early to tell. I counted on my fingers twice! Still freaky though. We only have a few boards ahead of us.....
And sorry to hear about your heartburn!

[missjenniebean]

Oh phew. I didnt think so but I can barely keep track of myself. Ha.
It is okay! Keeps me from eating them.
I see Aprils birth board is growing too. Gahhhh.

My upper back and pelvis are so sore. Sometimes I wish my husband was a chiropractor instead of working IT.

[wink568]

Pregnancy brain fail this morning. Got to the bus stop to realize I forgot my purse with my bus pass and work id. Now I'm waiting 25 minutes for the next one while my poor husband has to wake up early and bring me my purse, because by the time I drive home and back I'd have missed two buses.

[dmoney]

carolyngrace We have an alarm and I use it every day. When Dh isnt home I turn it on to the "stay" Setting. This allows me and the dog to walk around the house while having the alarm on and not tripping anything. If we are going out of town and are boarding the pup then we set it to away, that will have the motion detector go off if anything moves in the house. I grew up with having an alarm so it is kind of second nature to me, but I come in the house, turn it off walk the pup and once we are back inside (especially at night) The alarm goes back on.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Got my first "oh, so is it twins?" comment over the weekend-__- no gas station attendant lady, it's not twins and yes I'm due in June!! And I didn't even mention that I'm due the back end of june (23rd) I should have just to see her eyes bug out;)

[leenziepops]

Joolschweets The large/big/massive/huge/*insert all other synonyms here* comments get to me too. Some people don't realise how it can be offensive. I try not to get sensitive but it's getting hard. I especially hate it when people tell me exactly where they think I've put on weight. Can't wait for post partum weight comments!

[holliberry28]

I love reading all the March Birth Stories! I can't believe how close we all are to meeting our LO's.

Congrats leenziepops on passing your glucose test!

carolyngrace, I agree with pp that maybe you should consider dropping that client. It's not worth making you uncomfortable or anxious.

DH and I had sex on Sunday night, and every since I've been feeling pressure in my lower abdomen. Not cramps, not UTI pain, just pressure. More than usual. And LO feels like he's entered acrobatics school!

[mathistm]

I'm exhausted and I hate my boss. Not a lot new here. I'm sorry carolyngrace! I feel ya! That happens to me with creeper clients a lot too! I can imagine it does not help to have hubby away at night. We don't have an alarm system-we live on the 3rd floor of an apartment. I have faith that my 18 pound dog would and could wrestle a bear to keep me safe though!

[neongreen]

I was up every two hours peeing. Except for one time when it was only one hour between trips to the bathroom. I'm never going to sleep again.

[Widget123]

Joolschweets & mrsmonogrammed I hate those comments! I think people just forget or are unaware of what a pregnant person looks like, especially one at the 8/9 month mark. I mentioned a while back how DD's daycare teacher thought I had the baby because I was gone for 2 weeks, and that was a month ago. The worst thing though is after you have the baby and people say something or give you the look like they think you might be pregnant and then you have to correct them that you already had the baby. Not looking forward to those kinds of comments again either.

carolyngrace we don't have an alarm system at our house. when DH is away I put a baby gate on the bedroom door (because I have super mom ears and someone stepping over a gate would be enough to wake me up) and keep a gun and my cell phone by the bed. maybe when the kids are older we will get a dog. if an alarm system will ease your mind, then you should go for it!

[belle0720]

My belly feels soo heavy, like it's going to fall off if don't hold on to it!

When we were on our babymoon last week I had a few people ask if I was have 1 or 2 babies. They didn't even know how far along I was, so I tried not to take it personally. I still feel like a freaking whale though

[mrskblack11]

leenziepops, congrats on passing!

carolyngrace, our two pitbulls and chihuahua act as our alarm system. We do a real system installed but we do not pay for it. My FIL has an ADT security sign in his front yard to scare away robbers, even though he doesn't even have any system installed....

It's not that far off. I was a 12/05 EDD with a LMP of 02/29 and a BFP on 03/28 (at 14dpo).

[mrskblack11]

My chihuahua loves people but has never met a small child before. This weekend he met a little boy who was 1-2 years old. He did not know what to think of the little boy and was not friendly. Then the boy cried because my chihuahua wouldn't let him pet him.

Hopefully he will get used to little kids once we have the baby.

[mathistm]

I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with my boss. I can't wait until June to be away from her and happier.

My kid has discovered Caillou these last couple of days. It's the worst children's show ever.

I hate people commenting on my body. I hate being told that I'm so small for how far along I am. I hate that most people feel like I'm being a bragger when I complain that people are commenting on my body. I basically hate that pregnancy makes every one think it's okay to comment on your weight or body. I know being told that I'm 'small' would be a compliment, but it makes me feel like they're judging my ability as a parent based on my body size. I promise I eat, no you don't need to put extra portions on my plate. No I don't need to be told every time I leave your presence to 'feed that baby'. Fuck off.

I had a mom friend warn me to not even introduce it, lol! So far, so good. Sorry it's been discovered in your house!
