I'm having major weakness over staying Team Green at our anatomy scan tomorrow morning. We were with DD and it was super awesome but I'm dying to know this time. DH really wants to stay Team Green so hopefully I can just get through (or maybe the tech will slip up? Lol).

Hope your cousin is ok and they can get the bleeding under control sodapop.
singingsea - Perfect timing with that note pad. I'd love to send one of those to a bitch of a client who is being a lazy ass and can't do anything for herself.
I always do all my cleaning at the last minute fem . Have fun at the park!
I called the vet this morning to ask what they recommended for taking care of my dogs rubbed raw armpits and they actually wanted to see him. They gave me a steroid/antibacterial/antimicrobal ointment to put on his armpits and actually put him on oral antibiotics as well to be safe since they're pretty bad. Hopefully they help him heal up quickly because I still feel awful.
The vet did make me feel better about the fact that it happened though. I was explaining to her how he hadn't shown any signs on discomfort on the walk and she reassured me there was no way for me to know it was happening if he wasn't showing me in some way that something was wrong.
Gave him the first dose of antibiotics when we got home from the vet so I'm "working" from home until after lunch to keep an eye on him.
Go easy on yourself. You're clearly a caring and concerned pet mom. I'm glad he's on the mend. I don't think he'll hold a grudge.

This was me yesterday. I almost tried sneaking a look but knew I would regret it!
I'm leaving work early today to take DD to an optometrist appointment & try to figure out a gift for DH's birthday on Saturday. Maybe I'll book a massage for him. Men are impossible to buy for!
Amen on husband's being hard to buy gifts for. Plus my DH is awesome at buying me really thoughtful gifts so I feel extra bad when his suck.
So that cleaning I'm supposed to be doing.... I just took an hour nap with DD instead. Whoops.
theotherjacobsons, you have to go have breakfast at Hash House a GoGo!!! It's an absolute must!!!! Go early or make a reservation if you can. You WONT be disappointed!! And when you do go, please post pics of your food!
Also, hi! Happy Thursday all!!! DS is in preschool today and I've been a busy lady! I've done 3-4 loads of laundry, vacuumed the entire house and mopped all the tile (80% of the floors), cleaned both bathrooms, and did dishes.
I just laughed when I read the post about no second tri energy boost because I'm so damn tired right now!! I didn't have the energy to do, but it won't clean itself.
Now I'm watching Dr Phil waiting for DH to get off the phone so I can text him to get me a honey bun...
Does it annoy anyone else when the same person, who you normally don't really talk to, asks you every single day how you're feeling when they find out you're pregnant? I feel like shit and I'm going to feel like shit tomorrow and no crackers/ginger/magic don't help.

That was our biggest annoyance last pregnancy. I think that's why we haven't publicly announced our pregnancy yet. Nothing really changes. STOP ASKING ME!!!

I actually hate people that give me unsolicited advice more... especially if that advice is fuckin weird.
theotherjacobsons I think the small talk is what's irritating. I don't have the energy and I really don't want to talk to you about the same thing we talked about yesterday and the day before.
H called yesterday afternoon because his mom (who is planning to move here from KY in August) just found out her father's house had a huge fire and she now has nowhere to stay when she gets here. She wants to stay with us.
Ugh. MIL and I have never, ever gotten along. It's a constant fight between us. She's always treated H badly, she's pushy about her way to do things being better, etc, etc. I'm glad they're back on good terms (after not speaking for a year), but really, she and I haven't settled anything and since it's all related to personality issues, we probably won't. In any case, we already have two of H's team members from Europe staying with us through the summer right up until August, and then we need to actually turn that guest room into a nursery. H is going in and on about how she'll get do much of the house projects done for us, like painting and stuff, and it'll be nice to have someone to help with the baby.
I'm 90% she's going to drive me batty and increase my stress level. I told H this, and that I'm worried being stuck at the house with her all day everyday is going to be more than I can stand. We settled on "let's revisit in a few months".
Then, for dinner last night I marinated some chicken, thinking I'd grill it and some corn on the cob. I was cleaning the kitchen while it marinated, but H got home and was all cranky that dinner wasn't ready yet.
So I go outside and the BBQ won't start. Replace the battery in the electronic ignition and it lights, but there's very little flame. Ah, tank is empty. OK, go get a new one from the market down the street. Except when I put the new one in, no gas is coming out... Ask H to help me figure out what's wrong.
Anyway, after much frustration, we couldn't figure it out and gave up. But in the meantime H is mad at me because the house is a disaster, we're having to eat out again this week (had an HOA meeting, so no time to change plans) and the BBQ is messy because I forgot to put the cover back on a few months ago. This is, of course, the only possible explanation as to WHY the BBQ isn't working, despite it working just fine the day before.
So we end up having this huge tense discussion about how frustrated he is that I'm home pretty much all day everyday and working an east coast schedule and still get nothing done around the house. We worked through it, but it's hard because every little thing makes me cry lately and every time I start crying he wants to just drop whatever it was we were discussing because he hates seeing me cry.
So today I woke up with a huge migraine. Decided fuck it, I'm just going to take the day off. Slept for a few hours, took a shower. Finally feeling halfway human, but there's been some huge outbreak at work and all this confusion over a project that I'm supposed to be leading but in reality two of the people on my team keep pushing part of it without keeping me in the loop. Meanwhile, there's a bunch of HOA drama.
So, I've given up in it all and am spending my afternoon cleaning the entire downstairs in the hope that if I get it all done I can maybe just keep up on it for a few weeks until I need to do a major clean again.
Yikes pismoduo, I'm sorry YH isn't being very understanding or reasonable. Since you both are working, is it a possibility to get a house cleaner? If things are tense now, it's not going to get much better once baby comes.
Also, I agree that MIL shouldn't move in... I don't think that would help at all.

Damn pismoduo, that's a lot to deal with. Hope things get better. And I agree it doesn't sound like the best idea to have your MIL living with you. Good luck with those discussions and figuring it all out.

Thanks. He's got a valid point, really. He works a 40 week at his regular job, has a 2 hour commute (1hr each way), works another 20 to 30 hours a week on his side business and he's involved in just as much HOA stuff as I am. So out of the two of us, I do have more time to take care of things like dishes and dinner.
I just need to get some more energy and stop being as lazy as I have been.

I disagree! Sure he's busy, is he growing a human? Nope. I'm telling you, it doesn't get easier to vacuum your floors. The bottles stack up faster than you'd imagine, and you feel like you cleaned toilets last week but there's a mold ring so it has to have been at least a month! Even if you just have someone come in once a month to do the deep cleaning dirty work.
We don't have a house cleaner but it's not because we don't want one. I've yet to find someone I don't have to go behind to clean what they've missed. DH is also very helpful. Your husband seems really busy, and I'm worried that in a couple months you're going to be really overwhelmed (it sounds like you're getting there now). I just want you two to enjoy the last few months you have together and not worry about cleaning. (You are a ftm, right? I have a hard time remembering everyone's mommy status)

Yes. Or when I walk past them at work and they look at my stomach and squeeee with delight. I look like I ate a burrito. Coworkers equaling at my fat rolls doesn't make me feel comfortable.

Yes, FTM here. I think part of why he really wants his mom around to help is to have someone who can help pick up the slack free of charge. We've spent the last two years laying down debts so that he can quit his job or go part time because it's stressing him out so much that it's impacting his health. So getting a housekeeper slides some of those goals around. Although we have talked about having someone come in to do some of the worst stuff (bathrooms, oven, etc) once a month so all we have to do is keep up on dishes and laundry.
And just because reading back I feel like I didn't give him enough credit... He does a lot around the house too. He's usually the one who vacuums (he likes it, I hate it) and he does all the yard stuff (except trimming hedges, that's my favorite), and he's taken over quite a bit of the dog care responsibility as well.
But I appreciate what you're saying. It might be worth looking into.
pismoduo it sounds to me like he is pretty stressed. Are you guys able to give up any of your HOA duties once baby gets here? I second everyone else on MIL moving in being a bad idea. I love my MIL but I would go batty if she were here for months.
We got Mexican for dinner and I'm having major gas pains. My awesome H is entertaining DD outside so I can relax on the couch for a bit.

We'll be able to dial back in September. There's a lot of big projects going on right now to get things ready for a big vote in October. But come late August we should both be able to ditch a few things and go down to one or two meetings a month instead of one or two a week.

Yes! Shit, it annoys me when my MIL asks me how I'm feeling every time I talk to her.

pismoduo that is a rough couple of days! Hopefully today is better! I also agree that it's probably not the best idea for your MIL to stay with you, especially since you don't get along very well. It just seems like a lot to have on your plate after the other house guests and with a new baby coming.
