Coworker Rant
For 14 weeks I have been nauseated, exhausted, and frustrated. I have had mind numbing head aches, excrutiating sciatic pain, and random belly pains. I have almost thrown up at the smell of food, gagged while brushing my teeth, and been constipated for days at a time. I've suffered from random insomnia, strange food aversions, and food cravings ( Read more... ) -
Weddings and hydroplaning make for an interesting weekend
What a weekend. I went to Arkansas for my sister's wedding. It was beautiful, she was beautiful, I visited with family and friends, and had some cake. It was a great afternoon filled with lots of laughter and happy memories. The ride home, well let's say it was very far from being a happy memory ( Read more... ) -
Hey Nitwit!
Have you guys noticed that some of the comments in the snark communities are just downright cruel? I don’t mean to sound hypocritical. I love to read the more absurd blogs where a woman slept with 8 men and wants to know which one she should make the father of her children. I like to read the clever comments some people write, and it's even ( Read more... ) -
Sleeping dogs...
Wow, I asked for drama, and boy did I get some (I've been lurking around the prego drama community). Before I became pregnant, I had no idea there was a war going on between the breastfeeders and bottlefeeders. In fact, I always thought it was very weird to see my aunt breastfeeding my cousin when he had teeth ( Read more... ) -
The Aftermath
So things are finally settling down. We're not completely unpacked, but the house is becoming livable. We're really enjoying the new space, it's huge compared to where we used to be. And I have a 10-15 minute drive to work again. Woohoo ( Read more... ) -
Frenemies!
I've had it, I've absolutely had it! In the last three weeks three of Jason's friends have royally screwed us over. Let's start with the lesser of the three evils. April. April agreed to stay at the house we were renting for 6 months, she only stayed three. We didn't have her sign a lease, so that was our bad, but when your friends say they're ( Read more... ) -
Bra Shopping
SO, I have some questions about bras. Where can I get them for a reasonable price, what kind should I buy, and where can I find unusual sized bras? I say unusual because prior to being pregnant I was a 34 DD. Now I'm falling out of them and I don't know where to buy cheap, comfy bras that are only going to last me a few weeks or so. I'm going ( Read more... ) -
I don't get it!!!
AHHH!!! I'm so dang frustrated. Have you ever been with someone who doesn't like one of your pets? Seriously, I know my cat can be annoying sometimes, but she doesn't bite or scratch. She's extremely personable, and loves attention. But when she's mad about something, or if her litterbox is dirty, she'll poop or pee on the couch. I have to be ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So I just read a very sad post about women who smoke during their pregnancies and the complications that can occur due to their insensitive actions. Now I'm not a complete idiot. I know that smoking does cause damage to expecting mothers, but I'm under the impression that is long term tobacco abuse. My question is this: I smoked a 1/2 a pack a ( Read more... ) -
No one saw this coming...
It was positively confirmed yesterday. Twice. I'm pregnant. I'm going to have a baby. Jason and I will be parents, and I will get a great big tummy. I'm completely numb. I'm both excited and scared so my emotions cancel each other out. No, this was not a planned pregnany. But in the big scheme of things, it almost could have come at a ( Read more... )
