One more day to go...
Last night was busy. I got home after doing the peds outpatient and finished addressing the invitations for mama's party, then I melted some vinyl records into bowl shapes and then worked on her felt wreath cutting out 3" circles and pinning them and then decided to make rock candy to see how it turns out and how long it takes. I'm really hoping the rock candy turns out because it's freakin' expensive and I'd rather make it and save money if I can.
J got mad bc I didn't want sexy time last night and acts like we only have it once a month. Over it and him wanting it 97293473984793 times a day! But good news on him is that he passed the CPAT which is the physical portion of the test so now he takes the archnophobia (have no idea if I spelled that right and too lazy to look it up) Oct. 25th. This is where he has to climb the ladder on the fire engine, hook himself to it and fall back or something like that. I hope he finds a PT job before then.
Happy Thursday!
Re: One more day to go...
hey all!
Appointment today at 3:15 to find out boy or girl. Going crazy! It's going to be the longest day ever!
It's absolutely gorgeous out and I would much rather be outside.
Oh, I can't wait for you to find out!!!!!!!
We had a first thing in the AM appointment because I don;t know if I could have waited all day. Post as soon as you find out
Eek!! I know you're going crazy!! Any last minute predictions of what you think the baby is?? Can't wait to hear what you're having!
Good Morning!
My glucose test wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Now we wait to see if I passed, hopefully I won't be hearing from my doctor this week. I did find out that at my next appointment we get another U/S which I was kinda excited about. WHen I got home I told Greg what a great wife he has that I don;t make him come to every little appointment. There were so many husband there and some of the women were only there for their belly check. I ask all the other mama and mama-2-b's did your H or SO go with you to every single little apppointment or just the big ones??
Hey all! Rough week for the new puppy. She hates going outside in the rain and it's been pouring for days which hasn't helped with her potty training. I'm exhausted getting up in the middle of the night then up early to take her out and driving home for lunch to take her out every day plus we have a dog walker come by in the afternoon! I know she's only 9 weeks old and it will get better but zeesh! A small taste of what having a kid is going to be like I suppose.
H wanted sexy time last night too - I think he feels a bit neglected when I'm chasing after the puppy all night - and I didn't want to refuse cuz deep down I actually wanted it too but I was so tired I don't remember if it was good or not lol.
Thank God tomorrow is Friday then just one more full week of work until H and I head off to Puerto Rico! It feels so weird, like we're not actually going, but I really need a vacation and am SO looking forward to it!
Hope everyone is surviving their Thursday.
Word to your mother! One more day to go!
I am one of only a few people here. Most regional rail was cancelled, and you can't get into the city from the west at all due to flooding. I hope I don't get stuck here.
I was up all flarking night due to Geege the barking dog. Listen up! Barking does not stop thunder.
After work last night I went to Rite Aid and the MAC machine, then had a Relay meeting. I was running to catch the train and encountered a nude homeless man who was pissed off that I was in his changing room. Really life?
I got off the train at 8:30 and dropped a basket I made up for a beef & beer at a friend's house and had a beer. I got home at 10:15, let the dogs out, put chicken thighs/baby bellas/celery/golden mushroom soup/sprinkle of onion and garlic tastefully simple stuff in the crock and put that on overnight. I packed my lunch and gym bag and had the crappiest night of sleep on the planet.
More errands to run tonight. Humbug. At least most of dinner is ready.
City, Gus had his days and nights mixed up as a puppy and that was utterly awful. I felt like I was in a fog for months.
Three more days of work after today, then off for 12 days in a row.
Oh City, I don't envy potty training. I definetely don't miss it and we were really spoiled and had a very easy time with both dogs. Good luck!
Moleson, I am SO excited for you. Stalking you after 3:30 or so to find out!
Steph, barking at thunder? UGH. I am so easily annoyed by Piper being uber cuddly and slightly shaky during storms. I asked the vet and she got us an herbal supplement that calms her down enough that it doesn't seem to effect her as much. She just sleeps through it.
Yesterday I was amazingly lazy and did basically nothing all day long. H came home and suddenly my stomach was all upset, most of the night actually. Sucked. Then, about 5am this morning I woke up with a splitting headache, it would go away and I could sleep, but if I moved, it came back with a vengence. Finally asked H to bring me some aleve around 7 when he went to work. It's better now, but I still feel it somewhat. The rainy weather probably isn't helping any. Stupid Lee.
Good luck Moleson...are you leaning one way or the other?
This rain is farking ridiculous. The news is blowing up with all the closed roads due to flooding. I already ran into some water-covered roads dropping Q off at DC yesterday so I'm dreading the commute tomorrow since it can only get worse right now.
I'm in a poopy mood. Need help around the house and a date night with my husband who is oblivious to both needs.
I had to see a specialist while I was KU, so DH came to most of those appointments. He rarely came to the regular belly check appts. I ditto Steph - it would have been a nightmare to schedule appts around both of our schedules.
I have a feeling that it's a boy, but people keep saying that with as sick as I've been, it's probably a girl. BUT, Mush has been super sick and she's having a boy! So who knows.
Yeah, I would go nuts if I had to plan every appointment around J's schedule! He's come to the ultrasounds and the 1st appointment when we heard the heartbeat, but that's it. AND towards the end, there are so many appointments, I feel bad enough missing that much work myself, wouldn't want J to miss that much too!
I think I've biitched enough for one day already, so I will just say that after an exhausting day yesterday, I am glad that everyone is safe and dry. Also our anniversary cake was delicious
I am a lot less worried about flooding today, partly because the rain doesn't seem as bad and partly because all of our stuff is far away from the floor, and apparently our apartment people are good about taking care of stuff ASAP. Worst case, they'll put all of our (dry!) stuff into a truck, and we stay with my family for a bit while they fix up our apartment. That's not so bad! I suppose worst-case is that it actually floods our apartment more than a couple of feet, but that is very unlikely, so I am not worrying about that.
Tonight we're going to Volt for our anniversary - even though it's not until Saturday, they were all booked up. So there is another happy thing!
Also.....twatwaffle robot. (that's for you, Steph)
Glad it was good and worth the adventure you had yesterday!!!!
I'm not sure I'd say that, but I would have been PISSED if it was bad! Actually, they did make it wrong and when we cut into it I thought I was going to have a coronary. But it was fine, I just took a deep breath and picked around the raspberry filling.
Ugh...this was Richard last night. He tried giving me puppy dog eyes but nope, I didn't give in.
Are you ready for some football!!! Yes, today is the official start of football season. I'm so excited because I love me some football. Rooting for the Packers today. Moleson- do you have one of those cheese hats?
It's been miserably hot these past few days with temps reaching nearly 100 degrees. Today is supposed to be a little cooler at 91, but it's still freaking hot.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i'm sorry. I probably would have had a breakdown at that point. I can't remember, but is this the same place that made your original cake?
ahahahah. I need to use twatwaffle robot on some unsuspecting person today. hahahahah
SusieQ - what is Rescue Remedy? This farking dog has xanax and even that doesn't help. Tbears - is the herbal rememdy you use the Rescue Remedy?
I have tried the thundershirt. That failed.
Thanks. It's totally the rain that is throwing her off. She was doing SO well - no accidents, would go outside every time I brought her, but these past couple of days she's reverted back to going in her crate =(. So frustrating!!
Steph-

I use the dropper and give it to him orally. The lady who recommended it to me would rub it into her dog's ears during storms to calm her down.
I'm also excited for you Molson. I must live vicariously through you guys now.
My stupid period came last night. It was a bit disappointing. Oh well. Back to trying.
I feel as though I should be building an ark.
There was a foot of water in the basement this morning and now mold is growing on the ceiling where the roof has been leaking. The fridge stopped working cause something, somewhere got wet and some circuit somewhere is wigging out. Plus one for renters! We just decided that we would buy a house next spring, but this is a pretty solid argument to wait even longer.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
Moleson - yup, the sick thing is total old wives tale. ...as I wipe my mouth after losing breakfast this morning... So excited for you, though! I assume this is the anatomy scan? Sending you good wishes that everything looks great, and baby shows the goods.
I am right here with you. As I was watching the maintenance guys go to work on the other apartments, I couldn't help but think how nice it is that if we do get badly flooded, it's not my problem to fix shiit like that.
p.s. Sorry you're having to deal with that though, I know it's a pain regardless.
I too laughed my bootay off at twatwaffle robot yesterday...
stuff from our vet is just a tiny little bottle that I squirt 10 drops on a scrap of bread and give to her to eat. You can also drop it directly into their mouth, but that's too much work for me... haha. On the bottle it says "Anxiety TFLN safe, gentle, 100% natural homeopathic remedy" The website listed is www.homeopet.com Except that she sleeps for a while afterwards, it seems to be a decent remedy.
Feeling like total crap warmed over today. H and I do not fight really ever, and were just off last night. He pissed me off by just going off in the bedroom to stew instead of talking to me like an adult. I'm feeling super emotional and hormonal, and just do not need this shiit. It's just the same stuff over and over, that I'll do my best to "warn" him of things, he apparently doesn't pay attention, and then claims he's surprised by whatever it is. Doctor's appointments, decisions to purchase things, and on and on. I feel like his fuucking mother. I called ALL THE DAYCARES, arranged for appointments, put them on our shared calendar, emailed him, and then have to ask him at night if he put it on his work calendar, because he didn't bother to write me back.
So I slept like crap, puked up my breakfast this morning, and in general am just feeling on the verge of tears.
On the (small) good news side of things, baby is doing awesome, and my glucose test results were perfect. I'm slightly anemic, but the doctor said to just take Iron supplements and I'll be fine.
ETA: I had a belly check this morning. I realized that I deleted that part when I saw I was getting to long and venty.
