Trying to finish some coffee while DD sleeps. I blew my nose yesterday and experienced a deluge of fucking blood on my tissue. I forgot that that can happen. Thank you, pregnancy body for reminding me that nothing is safe.
I'm an emotional mess. Every time I see a commercial for the ASPCA I burst into tears (not just when I'm pregnant--all the time). I also follow a couple celebs on IG who support animal rescues, one of whom posts pics of dogs on "Death Row" once or twice a week. They always give me pause and make me sad but this morning when I looked, I started crying and haven't been able to stop. Today is one of those days where I feel like there's too much pain and sadness in the world. Anyone else ever feel that way?
(Full disclosure: I'm a social worker so I'm a bit of a bleeding heart. However I have, at various times, suspected I should be working with animals instead of people because it comes easier to me to feel empathy for them because they don't have a voice)
prvc678, those aspca commercials are pretty much the saddest thing they air on TV. Usually when one comes on, I have to run and grab a cat to hug so I can feel better about myself. I'm sure pregnancy isn't helping the emotional messiness you feel. I made the mistake of watching "escape from Jonestown" and cried for about two days straight because of that damn recording they play with all the kids and babies crying in the background.
acorn99, Has he pulled the "But I'M Really sick." Card yet? That's usually when I throw a tissue box at Mh and make him fend for himself.

That explains it! I've been having bloody noses for the past two weeks which is so odd

lovegrilledcheese, The only time I've ever had nose bleeds is pregnant. I also bleed like a mother any time I cut myself. I'm pretty sure my clotting factor drops to -1.
acorn99, Oh that poor man ::massive eye roll:: MH has been truly sick twice in the entire time we've been together, but he's cried wolf so many times that I was actually a total bitch to him when he had dengue fever. To be fair, he acts the same way if he has a cold as he does when he's dying.

Went to get DS up this morning and he had been sick all over his crib in the night. I have to take a sick day to watch him, so I put my absence in the system ASAP this morning and nobody has picked up my job still. The school bell rang half an hour and there's no one teaching my class. It's up to the office to figure it out, but it's frustrating that the system has failed. This is the second time in a month.

<--- Also dealing with bloody nose snot on a daily basis.
I managed to somehow crunch up my Nature Valley granola bar so much in my pocket on my walk from the office kitchen to my desk that when I ripped open the wrapper, I got crumbs EVERWHERE, and one of the bars went flying to the floor. Now I'm on a mission to find compressed air to get all of the crumbles out of my keyboard. I'm not so much mad about the mess as I am bummed about the loss of granola bar.

tootsie - the price of baby stuff makes me want to cry. I am registering for ALL THE NEUTRAL THINGS so that if we have another we can just keep everything and use it again.
Add me to the bloody nose club. I work up with a migraine the other night and one hell of a bloody nose. Between that and throwing up from the migraine, I definitely stayed home yesterday.

Ugh, yes. We still have some stuff from DD1 and I'm hoping to get hand-me-downs from SIL. What I'm really dreading is the thousands we will shell out for maternity care, birth, hospital stay, and pediatrician. Is there room in Canada for one more?
tootsie I happen to know of a house for sale.... Lol
I am also dreading child care costs. My mother offered to babysit for us but I don't know how I feel about her + afternoon wine + baby and I don't really know how to bring it up without sounding crazy/bitchy/overprotective/tell-you-how-to-live-your-life etc.

I threw up water the other night. It was a new low.
I hate how much baby stuff costs and since this is our last we are trying to buy as much from consignment stores as possible. We still have some baby clothes from DS and the crib but most of the other stuff got thrown out. We will be buying a few things new like the travel system, bottles, and mattress but that's it.

DO THIS!!
Seriously, for DD1 everything we registered for was grey/white/black/teal just in case #2 or #3 (god willing) was a boy.
Ray, I feel you with the daycare costs. We don't live in a HCOL area but having two in is going to suck. And we will only be enrolling them in 3 days a week. We were hoping to drop down to two days a week, but I have this feeling that is not going to work.
Right now DS goes M-W, and my parents do Thursday and H and his mom swap Fridays. But H's schedule is getting busier at work and his mom is not always reliable, so I may have to drop down to part time at work, send them Tues-Thurs and have my parents take Fridays. We were really hoping to only send them Tues/Weds but I just dont see that working. H thinks we can make it work but I have serious doubts and would rather be realistic about it than end up with childcare issues after going back to work.

Yes, do this.
From the person who just donated 15970796763 pounds of boy clothes to Goodwill. Fortunately the rest of the big stuff I have is neutral.
tootsie, I thought with all of that new health care reform regulations the hospital stay had to be covered by all private insurance?
sarcaztic10, That's just awful. The worst I've had with this one was dry toast, but water... Sorry, girl.
Ray, You just have to be straightforward about it. DD is turning 1 year next month and she still hasn't spent unsupervised time over my mother's house because it's so un baby proofable it's not even funny. Also, I know that she would just leave her in a room full of dangerous objects and go into the next room. So, she comes here to watch the baby.

Ray I hate how much daycare costs! I do the daycare flex spending program at my job and that helps some but we still end up spending about 13k a year in daycare costs for our DS and that isn't even infant rates! At our DC we will be paying $265 a week for an infant. There are a lot cheaper options in our area but the statement "you get what you pay for" really does apply in our area.
I would trust my mom with LO but I would never let my MIL watch a baby. DS is 6 and we still don't let MIL watch DS alone, she is just a really spacey forgetful person and we fear she would just forget LO or DS was there and go on about her business.

I'm the same way! I cry at aspca commercials pregnant and not pregnant! Makes me so, so sad I can't contain myself. My dream is to buy a bunch of land and open an animal sanctuary for old, abused and abandoned pets. No idea if I'll ever get there.
We have three cats and two dogs...all rescues and I always think...we can take in just one more!
tootsie , I thought with all of that new health care reform regulations the hospital stay had to be covered by all private insurance?
As in, the cost covered 100%? I don't believe so. I mean, it's covered in that insurance will approve it, but it will be billed 80/20 per my insurance as most other services are. Unless I'm missing something awesome and I will get a happy surprise when I get my bill in the mail.
