I think leatherpants mentioned not quite realizing she’s bringing home a baby bc she’s just getting use to being pregnant. I am right there with her. I am in total denial that I have to actually birth this child. In other news, I have acid reflux again and I’m praying it doesn’t mean the flu I had last week is returning. Dd3 had it over the weekend and dh has it now. tinyjoys insurance companies suck. I hope it’s a quick fix, but what a waste of time.

I am legitimately unsure if I have slept at all tonight or if I have just laid in bed. I finally decided to move out to the couch because DH is making all sorts of noise. I don't even know if I can call it snoring? He broke his nose a few years ago and had to have surgery for that plus they fixed a deviated septum. I can't help but feel like something is getting worse in there again because he makes the worst noises at night. I want to strangle him. I legit thought about putting a breathe right strip on him tonight. I am going to tell him he needs to try something out because tonight has been awful.
Of course I picked up extra hours tomorrow (today 😳😳) and I really needed to get sleep tonight. Ugh.

I truly love my MIL and I'm extremely thankful to have a good relationship with her, but she's grating on me a little today. We only manage to get together win DH's parents, sister, and nephew twice a year because we all live in different states. And MIL gets a little anxious leading up to these visits, I think because she knows they're few and far between, and usually not very long.
So she tends to react by checking and double-checking with us on the minute details of traveling. She was asking DH if we'd booked a rental car a couple days ago, and he said he didn't think so and he couldn't remember the exact details of our travel plans. She kept pressing and asking questions even though he didn't know.
Then today, she texted me today and was being similarly pushy. I was polite and kept letting her know we'd take care of it soon, but that it hasn't been a priority with how insane our schedules have been and all the other, actual time-sensitive details we've had to take care of. DH was super annoyed to hear that she'd pressed me about it too. I'm trying to give her lots of grace because I think it's coming from a place of anxiety, but he feels like she forgets that he's not a kid that she has to hound anymore.

I pulled out my pregnancy pillow last night hoping to help with this SI pain. OMG I hate it. I got the U shaped one this time because I hated the snoogle last pregnancy. Well this one may be even worse. Of course I've been letting my dogs use the Snoogle for the past year so I can't go back to that now. Ugggh.
I have really only complaints so I'm going to try and not be annoying and not share them.
My coworker did bring me back chocolate from Germany so that's a positive!

I finally confessed to DH the other night that his name choice has grown on me. I’m actually thinking of the baby with that name now.

I kept arguing that Henry was too popular but then I looked on the SSA website and Sam is actually a teeny bit more popular.

I just ordered a second egg cooker. We LOVE ours, but the measuring cup thing fell off the counter and before I could pick it up, our Aussie pup grabbed it thinking I dropped something good and broke it. I haven't been able to get the water measured right since. And it was cheaper to buy a whole second cooker set than buy just the cup.

It's not my back that is bothering me though. It like radiates from my tailbone to my lower thigh. Like my hip joint. I think it's the SI joint though but I could be completely wrong... ETA: I'm sorry you're on my complaint train.

nuggetrn I told MH recently that he needed to do something about the snoring and he started using the breathe right strips. It has made a huge difference, and he says he is sleeping better too. So its not just me who has benefitted. GL. katietopaz, my MIL is the same way. I try to adopt the same grace as you are doing, but it can be hard. In my MILs case, I think it has just been so long since she had a busy schedule and household to manage that she doesn't understand the pace we keep. She can spend half a day writing things in her calendar 6 months out...we multitask, since we don't have that kind of time. Its like we speak different languages sometimes, lol.

cornpop I’ve never had a pregnancy pillow, but I got a lot of relief from shoving a throw pillow under my bump when I lay on my side. I made my to do list for the day. It feels a bit hap hazard, but if I get even half done I think that’ll be helpful. I thought I had a buyer for the bed frame in dd3s room, but they were a no show so I’m back to square one. I really want to whip that room into shape. Also, very important question... Should I sell the dds baby clothes now while it’s “in season” or wait for a larger garage sale in May?

H is home with DD today and already texting me about what I want him to do for dinner. I want HIM to figure shit out on his freaking own. The same as I have to do every other day of the damn week🙄🙄
Apparently I'm on the complaint train too😳😂

Oh! I did make a registry on babylist and it is my freaking favorite!! I can add things from anywhere and it's so much nicer to keep track of one list as opposed to several registries🙌🏻

nuggetrn Sorry for the rough night. Hope you can catch up on sleep soon! katietopaz Hopefully your MIL can relax some soon. It does sound like she's a bit anxious about the upcoming plans. It's nice of you to be so patient with her.

nuggetrn, I am sorry for the rough night you had last night. Your husband sounds like my husband. He snores and makes weird noises in his sleep. I know part of the reason is that he has gained weight, but I almost always end up sleeping part of the night in DS's room. My husband doesn't seem motivated to do anything about it. smilesp, I like the names Henry and Samuel. Henry was my grandpa's name and so it is possible that it may be used as a middle name if this one is a boy. Samuel is a name I love, but I have a nephew with that name, so it is not an option for us.

Thank you guys! Unfortunately the next couple of days are going to kind of suck because I am working 16 hours today.. Then going to try to sleep for maybe 5 hours tonight then have to go to a class tomorrow morning for work. Then a regular 8 hour shift after. I may ask today if I can do the later class and be an hour late for work. We'll see. woodenshoes I also wonder if the increased weight is playing a part in it getting worse. Trying to decide if it is worth bringing up. He has been complaining about his weight lately so it's not like he is oblivious to it.

He definitely doesn't need to know that though. Lol. I like Henry and Samuel both! But if you're starting to call the baby Henry, then... Sounds like you have a winner.

Can we talk about what normal out-of-breathness is for this stage?
I don't think it's the baby because I've been out of breath since the line turned pink pretty much, but it's definitely getting worse.
Walking up the stairs makes me feel like i need to throw up. Even just bending down and then standing up makes me feel awful. I just walked to the bathroom (not a far walk0 and have been sitting down for a few minutes and still feel out of breath.
I mentioned it 2 drs visits ago and she said it seemed all within the range of normal but....I don't know to me this seems excessive. I'm not overweight and I work out 3+x a week when not pregnant so I am not really out of shape...

cornpop, I would mention it again. Most things I consider to be well within the range of normal until it interferes with your daily quality of life, and then at a minimum I want an exam or testing to show that there isn't something more serious going on. Breathing is, like, kind of important. So I wouldn't worry about being alarmist over it.

Random today. My cousin opened up his own business this year--a pet boutique--and is doing really well. I'm so excited for him but not having pets, we haven't really been able to give him any business. So I'm getting lots of dog-themed gifts for people this year and it is making me happy to support him. shop local, shop family!
