I'm DONE with my big stressful work meetings - two yesterday, one this morning. I'm pretty happy with how things went, but I want to get the hell out of this suit! (Pantyhose and pregnancy don't work well together - they're bunching up above my bump and cutting into me painfully) Now I don't really know what to do with myself. I'm sure I have some other things I need to do but for now I'm just gonna TCF. Entertain me, ladies!
And yes, I'm sad about Alan Rickman, and still about David Bowie too. Cancer blows.
Also, I swear one of my colleagues was staring at my abdomen this morning. I guess I should probably come out at work...

Ah, nitecheese . Sorry. We've had a baby waking fight or two ourselves. It always feels like crap. I swear men get more emotional and hormonal during pregnancy than we do.
I almost posted last night about wanting to kick my DH in the shins VERY hard. He's had a man-cold for days and has been pretty unbearable. I'm guessing I wasn't as patient as he was expecting me to be. We've been picky and it's not been pleasant.
I got new glasses yesterday. I love the shape but they are black plastic and i've always had tortoise shell so I hate how dark they are. Glasses places should really let you do a 24-test drive before committing to spending such an ass ton of money.
Also - Dd was up being belligerent and difficult and screaming at me at 5;45 this morning. So i was late for work from dealing with that.
nitecheese I'm sorry about the fight - even with a resolution it still makes me feel awful afterward - and also sorry about it waking up DS. I hope you're able to get real hugs and donuts today!

cattuccino, nah, they said the only way they'll do that is if they physically hurt. I need to go back today and have them refitted so, maybe I'll never get them to fit right?!?!
AFM, I still have this cold, but I'm feeling better than I did yesterday. Probably because I actually slept okay last night. Hopefully it's on it's way out!
DS has a cold and coughed or moaned most of the night. I did not get much sleep last night. DH, on the other hand, didn't hear anything. I am not pleased with him this morning.
Honestly - how do men do this? Like when you're up 5 times overnight with them, and when they get up for the day they ask, "Was LO up at all?" grrrrrrrrr

For those dealing with fights, sick kids, annoying husbands, and sadness related to the loss of celebrities... this video of a baby sea otter is for you!
I actually cried a little when I heard about Alan Rickman So sad.
nitecheese, I'm sorry about the fight Hopefully you can have a calmer conversation today with YH if you are still angry.
Flair Underwood, sorry for your stressful morning It always takes me a bit when I get new glasses to get used to my face, so maybe you will end up really liking them!
I'm sorry GOmamab15! Hopefully it will go away soon
@cheeze, hope he gets better soon. Sorry it was a rough night!
frecklesnbrains, that was amazing! So cute! I want one too!!!!

Guys, I just have to say something. I have had a bit of emotional week and I am a bit hesitant get it into it because we have FTMs here. It's nothing crazy!
But the biggest thing to do as a mom is trust your instinct. If you think your kid needs a doctor and their doctor doesn't listen, go to the ER. If you think a daycare isn't right for you based on a feeling, don't go there.
Just trust your gut. I was in a situation like this when T was 1. I chose something for him based on my feeling, and I was right. This week the situation came back up in the news, and it just brought me back. TRUST YOUR MAMA INSTINCTS, ALWAYS, AND FUCK EVERYONE ELSE.
cattuccino, nah, they said the only way they'll do that is if they physically hurt. I need to go back today and have them refitted so, maybe I'll never get them to fit right?!?!
That sucks - though if they're not comfortable than hopefully they can do something for you. I got glasses a few months ago but don't love them anymore, and I even had the 30 day option. Oops. I wear contacts often too, though.

I am also just catching up on this thread.
nitecheese, I hate fights like that. I hope you have a better day.
Flair Underwood, I understand a rough morning. Hope your glasses fit better and you like them better soon!
@cheeze, ugh, T was sick all week and we were up all night. DH slept through the night though. On the weekend I made him get up so I could sleep in, and when I woke up, he made a comment like, "She lives!" One evil eye and he didn't say another word. Hope it gets better soon!
GOmamab15, headaches are the worst! Feel better soon.
I got a headache in the middle of the night and it's only gotten worse. Do not want to adult today.
I hate starting my day with a headache. Usually they develop throughout the day, so when it starts over night or in the morning t really knocks me down.
nitecheese I'm so sorry! I hate fights and the feeling after. I think you need a big fat hug from dh and a giant box of donuts. Dh and I fought so much the first year with ds. We're finally in a better place and I can't believe we're doing it again. I'm hoping since I know what to expect (or not to expect) out of dh there will be less fighting.
frecklesnbrains congrats! Celebrate the only way is pregnant ladies can.... Food, glorious food! Donuts all around?
Flair Underwood I got new glasses yesterday too. $420!!! When the heck did they get so expensive? I asked for a massage with that price.
GOmamab15 feel better. Tea... Magnesium like the ladies suggested yesterday?
I had pt this morning. He said my hip moved again which is why I'm back in pain. He got it back in place so hopefully it'll start feeling better. I'm in a good mood today and motivated. Let's see what I actually get done.
Hugs origamimommy! I think that trusting your gut is so important in all aspects really. If you have ever read the book The Gift of Fear - it is all about using your instincts to keep you and your loved ones safe.
Sounds like everyone is having a rough day. Hope things look up for everyone.
I had an OB appt this morning and everything looks good, but she told me that I need to limit how often I pick DS up because I've had some back pain. I know she's right, but it still breaks my heart a little. One of my favorite things ever is him asking me to carry him downstairs in the morning because his legs are still tired. I'm overly emotional about this and may have cried a little in the car thinking about it.

nitecheese sorry you are having a rough day, and also frecklesnbrains now I want donuts. Flair Underwood the mancoldsare the worst. DH had an appendectomy and wisdom teeth pulled all in one month... I'm about out of patience and playing nurse in general. AFM, I am exhausted because the pup slept in the bed with us last night but all on my side so I got no sleep at all. On the other hand, DH left for a business trip for two days and now this is me:
Seriously, eating takeout tonight and catching up on GG2D. And using all the pillows.

I would have cried too. I know I should do the same, since my DS is ALLLLLMOST at my lifting weight limit. I just want to hold and snuggle my baby boy.
Post by Flair Underwood on Jan 14, 2016 11:21:07 GMT -5
soultrane, I totally would've cried about that too. I'm waiting for the same warning from my OB.
mladerri, $420?? Dear heavens. I wear contacts a lot too, but wanted frames i like and am comfortable with so I am less tempted to sleep with my contacts in all the time during the new born phase.
I have a curious question for all of you ladies - Did you/would you buy a video baby monitor? They weren't really a think when DD was born and we never got around to buying one. Are they worth the investment? Also - why don't any of them come with a second receiver? Carrying that thing around the house is going to get ob.noxious.
Is it Thursday already? I started my new job this week so haven't been able to check in as much but so far so good. If things continue as they look like they will in my new role I will be 2,000x happier vs my previous job, it's the same type of work but different management and work load,even now with an added commute and not being able to regularly work from home, will make such a difference.
I told my supervisor I was pregnant on my first day, it was awkward but he congratulated me and was supportive, just glad to get it out there.
Hope the rest of the week goes smoothly for everyone.

Guys I forget and it's driving me crazy. When do you start to feel very consistent movement? I feel rumbles and stuff that I know is him, but it's not the regular movement that I desperately want to feel.

When is that supposed to happen again?
18-20 weeks, give or take. STMS may feel movement earlier, but it won't be consistent.
