Re: Confessions, Vents, Funnies, any excitement?
My brothers claimed things they wanted of my dads rings, bracelets, watches that he wore yadda yadda yadda. I hadn't taken anything as I thought when I helped my mom go through his stuff I'd see something I wanted. Then my one brother still wanted this old old old school barometer that my dad had at work that is in this wood/glass enclosed case that he brought with him when he came to this country. I didn't really remember about it until he said and was like whatever he can have it shrug no difference to me. My mom and I went to his office to collect all his stuff yesterday and a bunch of his co-workers were talking with us and were going on and on and on about how my dad LOVED that barometer. Well it's now sitting in my house. BOOM Hope it goes well when my mom tells him.
Always missing my Mommy (1954-2010) and Daddy (1943-2012)
TTC since 2009 ; BFP 9/13/10 = MC 10/21/10
DX = DOR/POA (AMH=1.1; AFC=4-5)
Surprise BFP 8/31/11 while waiting to cycle for IVF
Welcomed our little miracle 5/7/12
my vent is BR - I finally worked up the balls to buy the ergo carrier since it was almost the same price as a new pair of uggs (with the newborn insert) and i stalked the UPS truck everytime it came down our block.. well I cant get the damn thing on and her comfortable in it. Im not sure what I am doing wrong but I feel like I need to go to an ergo class.
Ive watched like 8 youtube videos of moms putting it on with newborn insert and without and I cant get her in it without her crying. She has no issue with the baby bjorn but its murder on my back and its not good for her spine/hips
dh and i could not figure out the bjorn - so we returned it - lol! we felt like idiots! he's super creative and handy and builds things, and i am practical, creative and spent half my college time in engineering - yet, we were too stupid, even together, to figure it out!
do not feel bad.
Hmm, I hate that when I walk into my job or when anybody walks in or out, nobody says hello or goodbye. Is that rude?? How do people not even have the common courtesy to say hi. RUDE!
My mother is on my last nerve. She asks a million questions about everything. I'm almost 30. If I don't want to work a whole day, I don't have to. She gets mad.
My dog won't go outside in the rain. If I have a pre-madonna (sp) dog what's it going to be when I have a child??
I hated the infant insert. You can just try the pillow or a folded swaddle if DD is big enough. Maybe even someone at a big box store would spend some time with you. A lot of mom and pop baby stores will help you figure it out or if you attend LLL meetings, I'm sure someone there can help you.
My confession is that I have been feigning stomach issues since the last week to get some down time. It's sad that my quiet time is locked in the bathroom with my phone. It works, but DH gives me the stink eye when he catches me scarfing down junk food after I just had "tummy troubles"
I guess mine would be a confession..... I'm in Boston at a dental conference.... DH and K are home. I left NY on Wednesday and won't be back until Sunday. I am staying at a friends house and loving catching up with all my old friends. I miss K and DH but I'm so glad I came. As much as I love being a wife and mother.... I really am loving all the "feeling like my own individual human being" right now. I almost feel like the person I used to be.... If that makes any sense. Also... Btw threw up in her bed tonight and I'm so glad I missed that one. But... As much fun as I'm having... I can't wait to see them again. Last time I came to the conference I was more pregnant with K than I am now... But for some reason I'm much more exhausted and swollen by the end of the day this pregnancy.
i'm tired being positive and upbeat about doing 60 hours of surgery a week being this far along and wish my co-workers would get it already. every time someone asks me "how are you doing?" i just say "i can't complain, well I could but...." and we both giggle. or "when are you due?" "end of march" "oh thats right around the corner!" right around the corner?? sure, its not that far away but that's still 10 weeks of standing here swelling up.
just crabby today (im on call, fun!)
1) MrMags sucks:
1a) He and I are treading into dangerous territory. He is having a lot of issues at this new job and I am done hearing him b!tch and moan about it. Granted, most of the people who work for him suck and the company makes it very difficult to get rid of people but STFU ALREADY. He's too easy to work for, these asssholes would've quit already if they worked for me. If you can't do your job, you will leave one way or another. The hell with waiting for approval from the HR department blah blah blah. Make it happen. Anyways, he wants empathy and I'm completely out of any at the moment so we are probably going to fight about this and it will be bad because I am mean and nasty. Le sigh.
1b) He is going to a work conference in Miami in March. He is not excited about it because it means he has to leave his largely useless staff unattended for a few days. Again, STFU.
1c) He threw his back out at work. He refuses to go to the dr. We have paid out the ass for cobra until our insurance from this new job kicks in. It's so expensive! Go to the dr to make it worth the money we spent or again, STFU because it must not be that bad.
2) Work is busy and I am exhausted. That's a good thing because many small business are struggling and we just seem to be doing okay but I'm mentally and physically beat. This is supposed to be a fun little job to keep myself busy while the kid is in school. Notsomuch. Working for family is tough too.
3) MiniMags is eating us out of house and home. I'm amazed at how much she eats and it's hard to pack her a lunch for school that will keep her satisfied, especially since they only have 15 or 20 minutes to eat. I do hope she puts on some weight.
