For those things you can't find a place for and don't want to AW...

I bought a yoga ball and it's too small. Grrrrr.

My dog laid down beside me on the couch with her head on my belly. She has NEVER done that...she doesn't even ever get up on the furniture.

I cut my toenails

[bendherova]

I sliced off a third of my index fingernail with a santoku knife while making dinner this evening. Hurts like a bitch.

[bendherova]

Also, I just spent the last hour asleep on the couch. Why is my husband choosing to ask me about $$/bills right now??

Ouch!  At first I read a third of your finger, but still ouch

[leenziepops]

@hazeldublin So cute! I love it when babies do those little squats

[mathistm]

Eeeeeeeee! I'm not allowed to tell anyone else so I'll tell you guys-my sister is at the hospital and is probably going to have her baby today!

[stinybean]

Good luck to your sister mathistm!
bendherova I also read that as finger. I'm glad it was your nail, but that still hurts!

Fuck yea, leenziepops!  Not easily accomplished these days!!!  I painted mine on Monday for the first time since December and I feel like a freaking champion!  ETA They came out really badly but I can not care lol!

My random is that I'm eating raspberry sorbet for breakfast and it is AMAZING! SO refreshing

Womp womp. They sent her home-she feels like a ss. But she was having the 5-1-1 contractions. Only dilated 2 cm. They are not having her come back until tmrw morning.

[holliberry28]

Yum, sorbet sounds delicious.

I don't know if anyone watches outlander on starz, but the other day after our birthing class, dh and I were watching and someone's water broke. So he goes, " start the clock! She's got 24 hours! Taco! It was pretty amusing

[mrsmonogrammed]

Today is going to be one of those "hungry" days where no matter what I actually do eat, I'll want something else/more/different...I can feel it.

Wonder what I'll find in the break room "store"....

Got the call that my glider came in yesterday afternoon. So beyond excited to pick it up Friday!!!

What kind did you order? Plan on going to buybuybaby tonight and try some out.  Originally was gonna splurge on a Land of Nod one or Pottery Barn, but money is tight and I can't rationalize it!

[teenybird]

@bubbs119, I am right with you. I'm out of the office Friday for a clinical continuing ed conference, and the person who's supposed to be covering for me just came to my desk and asked me to cover for her on Friday. Um duh...no I can't cover for you! You're supposed to be doing that for me, dumbass! It drives me nuts when people are all like "oh, I got you covered," and they really don't. Lame ass shit.

On a less fun note I feel like I'm going to stab some of my coworkers today. All the rage.

That is how I feel almost every day lately.  Especially yesterday.

@badwolf321 - I would have cut a bitch! What a waste of your time.

Random - why did someone post on a Wednesday symptoms thread from March??? I was so confused for a minute.

And confession I busted out laughing when I saw what she posted.

[maddib]

I am so crampy all the time. I don't think I will have to wait much longer to meet this LO. Which scares the shit out of me. I am not ready yet!!!! I have been drinking so much water and trying to take it easy but the back and stomach cramps are not going away! I want her to stay in at least two more weeks.

[Widget123]

I have a random. Last night DD was sitting on my bed watching tv while I was in the shower. In the middle of the shower, DD alerted me to the fact that DH was trying to face time her, so I picked up the call, gave DD the ipad and went back in the shower. DD almost immediately hung up on DH and then started calling a bunch of other people who were saved including my parents. Since all my parents could see during the call was the ceiling fan and DD didn't say anything to them, they freaked out and called DH's parents. When I talked to my mother she said oh the reason I got so worked up is because you are pregnant. I really should have known better.

H's cousin's cousin had her twin babies this weekend at 31-32 weeks. They named her baby girl Gianna. That's what we're naming our daughter! We don't have regular interaction with them or anything and I don't know them at all besides meeting once or twice, but they happen to live in the same town as us (and I think just down the block actually) so our kids could end up at the same school together. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment that someone we know beat us to using that name. Somehow it made me glad that we've been sharing our name choice with everyone from the beginning. No big deal, but just a random thought.

[erbear]

It's teacher appreciation week and I'm currently eating lunch and staring down cupcake parfaits and monkey bread. Zomg.

Random question: Is anyone buying convertible car seats already? Or will you just wait until it's time to movie baby out of the infant car seat? Since we have so much store credit to BRU and just received the 10% completion discount I'm wondering if I should go ahead and buy it now to get it at a discount. But it feels like that'd be jumping the gun.

I registered for one and got it as a gift at my shower. I figured one less thing to have to shell money out for later - if you have store credit, and a completion coupon and don't need anything else, I say go for it!

[junch817]

Our hot water tank started leaking last night so now we get to spend the $ on a new one. Oh happy day.
And enough with the contractions. Seriously. They are close together and timeable and freak me out, but after 30-40 minutes of consistency, they slow way down or stop. So annoying. Plus they are starting to get pretty uncomfortable.

I'm really frustrated with trying to schedule myself out of limbo between midwife care and the ob practice. Called this morning and was transferred to leave a voicemail with the ob coordinator. Of course she calls while I'm cooking my nephew lunch and he is melting down, not any time during the 4 calm hours prior. Also now apparently it's weird that I want to see another doctor there besides the one I met with for 5 minutes yesterday? I get that I'm 33 weeks but aren't I still a human being who has options? They double booked me with a different doctor next Friday and said I just have to wait. Awesome! Thanks so much for the wonderful first impression. Then I tried to call to schedule my repeat 3 hour gtt at the hospital lab and was transferred around and had to leave various voicemails. Someone please just help me. Ugh. I'm too third-trimester for this junk. Hopefully after I meet whoever next week this stuff is all settled and I get into a new groove with a good ob.

We didn't get the house we bid on. A huge part of me is sad (it was so cute! and our bid was #2 and high... who out bid us damn it?!) but I'm also relieved - I was stressing about moving 3 weeks before baby and getting a house ready, having an infant, and trying to keep a relationship with my husband who would throw himself into working over time to afford it (even though we'd be able to afford it without him doing that - it's just his way of dealing with stress). I'm relieved we're stepping back for a bit and I can next in our current house.

That's what I call my OBGYN.

How witty! I never would have thought of that.
