When my H asked me how many times Cecilia was up last night and I said "3 times" he actually said "oh that wasn't too bad!" She's up for an hour and a half each time and over a 7 hour period that's a lot of awake time. Do the math dude before you make a comment. And honestly as much as I want to sleep at least when she is awake she just wants to slowly eat and she's not just awake to scream at me...so it's just a half whine

My real whine is about Henry. I know it will get better but I'm ready to sell him. Not like he will fetch much in terms of money but ugh...the kid is on my last nerve.

Emery is like 10 thousand times worse than dealing with the baby. Seriously she drives me to drink. Her bed time can't come fast enough most days. I feel ya

[xanthepants]

cbear, I'm sorry. That sounds like a tough decision to come to.
nesenotes, laurski81, I'm sorry that it is rough some days. Hang in there, sending hugs and virtual wine.

This is a total first world problem, but I've been wanting a breakfast burrito all day. I asked my H if he could pick one up for me on his way home for lunch. So I called the place and they stopped doing them at 12. It was 12:07 when I called!!! Gahhh

cbear, Hugs girl. Just curious because I know nothing about it, but why does it restrict you from having kids? Is the prescription that potent?

Ya the prescription is potent so he said it would basically be very bad for the baby. Plus it does suppress the immune system some so I'm assuming that would be bad for me too while pregnant

I was just looking at the prescribing information and they have it as a category B, which shocked me. It's not really recommended during pregnancy but I believe if you wanted to have another baby you could stop the medication before TTC. Either way it sucks that you have to be on it and make those decisions. Hugs cbear.

Aww thanks for looking it up! He mentioned he would ideally want me off of it for 4 years if we thought we wanted to try and conceive after being on it!

Ugh just got out of my dermatology appointment for my psoriasis. Basically his end goal would be for me to be on Humira, possibly for the rest of my life. With that means absolutely no more kids. I'm pretty sure we are done anyway but still the finality is sad/scary. I'm not sure what to do exactly so lots and lots of thinking for me :/

That really sucks.  I had a few patches of bad psoriasis awhile back... not extensive like some, so i'm not sure about how bad yours is... but does your doctor have the option of light therapies, or talked about it?  I had spots on my hand (mostly thumb) and elbow/arm and i got light treatments a few times a week for awhile and it helped so much.

I actually haven't had a bad flare up since, but a few minor ones I've been able to use my creme for.  

I know everyone is different, and a friend of mine had to do a prescription - but she also got the creme i have (after i gave her one of my samples) and that worked much better for her too.  

[cbear]

So I had a long talk with my mom tonight after she talked to one of her physician colleagues. They agreed that Humira should be my way last resort after I've exhausted all other avenues. The first being trying out a gluten free diet for at least 6 months. So I'm going to meet with a dietician to try and get into that new mind set. I am still going to continue with my topical ointments at the higher dosage so hopefully with these changes it will help!

trixi282 I've had since I was in 3rd grade. I would say Mine is a moderate case and I've never been able to get it fully into remission. The worst is my scalp and of course elbows. However I've been having a pretty big flare up lately so that's kind of why I went in to touch base with him today. I have tried some light therapy before but it hasn't really helped too much in the past.

laurski81, nesenotes - I'm glad to hear my kid isn't the only a-hole with a second kid around. Everyone says she'll get better when she gets used to the baby, but we're at like 4.5 months now...She does have her really good moments, but its really hard because I feel like we have way more bad moments than the good.

Oh, and nesenotes - this 4 month regression stuff sucks. Seriously. I don't know how much more of this I can take.

[MissMusic]

Its Tuesday, but can I add to this?

I've been looking for a schedule change with my job because I'm tired of working weekends. Nothing ever comes up, because no one want to work weekends. I've been waiting a year.

Well, something came up! And I didn't get the position!
I got 5 classes over the next 5 weeks, nothing over the summer. My boss needs 2 days covered and until Aug, I can only cover 1 day because I'm already taking over a class for someone on maternity leave. So I got neither days.

If something changes for the fall, I'm in a prime spot to get the position. If nothing changes, then nothing changes. I'm cranky because I've been asking to change for A YEAR, I've been at the company longer than the person who is taking the position for the summer (and prob the fall), and to be frank, I'm good at my job. ARGH!

[paddyb]

MissMusic, sorry. that sucks. I would find that very frustrating.

[MissMusic]

Hugs cbear. Its hard that something else has to make the final decision for you, even if you thought you were done.

[somethingcleverer]

That does suck MissMusic. I hope something opens up for the fall

[summergirl1211]

Can I continue this even though it's now Wednesday? I want to whine about the big construction project that's starting near our house in a few weeks. It'll consist of three phases and go at least 6 months total, and every phase will seriously mess up my daycare drop off/pick up. My suburb is pretty quiet and it could be much worse, but it's going to add at least 15 minutes each way to my commute. I already leave the house at 6:20 every morning and don't get home until after 5:00. This sucks.

[tribute17]

summergirl1211, that does suck and deserves a whine.

I'll add on too. My car died on the way home from physical therapy last night. It was 5:30 on a busy street but luckily I was in the turn lane. MH couldn't come get me because I had the carseat and he had P so I had to call my FIL who came but lives a little further. I wasn't too far from home but can't walk so I was stuck. We got it moved to a side street and I'll call AAA today to get it taken care of. It just sucks because we really can't afford a new car right now but we don't have a choice. I don't think it is fixable but could be.

[summergirl1211]

tribute17, girl, that sucks! I'm so sorry your car broke down, especially when you couldn't get anywhere on your own. Thank goodness your FIL was able to come get you! I hope they're able to fix it so you don't have to spend the money on a new car right now.

[tribute17]

I'm sure I was a pathetic site: pregnant with a broken leg standing outside my car. When it died I just cried for 5 minutes before I called anyone. I know there are worse problems in the world but it sucks and I'm hormonal and it was a bad day anyway. H went and got me brownies from the store with extra icing on them.

tribute17, I would have bawled my eyes out not pregnant or hobbled! I'm glad your H got you a nice treat. You definitely deserve it!

[roo1582]

tribute17 - I'm so sorry your car broke down last night! It seems like you can't catch a break here! I hope you were at least able to enjoy your brownies.

[tribute17]

roo1582, I know. It's all just little stuff (except the broken leg) and it just piles up. I'm worried you guys are going to think I'm making it all up and I really wish I was. H has a follow up interview next week for a good company so I'm hoping it goes well and he gets a job. That would make some of our worries go away. And I'm walking without my boot today for the first time so there is some good news. I'm trying to focus on that and not let myself get dragged down.

[junkytrunk]

tribute17 I'm sure I would have been bawling my eyes out too if that happened. Hang in there girl, it can only get better from here.

Do not feel like we think you're making it up! I hope things turn around for you soon and you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!

[roo1582]

tribute17 - We definitely don't think you are making it up. Everyone goes through periods where this type of stuff happens unfortunately. Hopefully things turn around here soon for you though!
