WWMA18D: i slipped on our stairs while holding DD , landed on my butt, and slid all the way down. My arm hurts pretty badly but baby is moving the normal amount. I don’t think I hurt/hit my belly at all. My OB is closed but I can basically page the OB on call. I’m leaning towards no unless there’s a change in movement, cramping, or bleeding - good plan?

Leaf 🌱 I fell on the ice last pregnancy and called in. They just wanted me to monitor movement, bleeding and abnormal abdominal pain. It doesn’t hurt to give them a heads up but if there’s no concerns I’d probably wait. So sorry you fell, it’s scary. Hopefully you’re not too sore tomorrow.

babybean good, i figure there’s not much they can do besides tell me to head to the ER for monitoring and anything they can do at 23 weeks is pretty limited anyways. Of course my MIL was there and SCREAMED bloody murder and would not stop so I yelled at her. She grabbed up DD (who only slid down a couple of steps) and freaked her the fuck out.

Leaf 🌱, I agree with babybean. I fell three weeks ago and didn't go in to get checked. My doctor said unless there is bleeding, cramping, or decreased movement, there's nothing they could do anyway. That sucks that your MIL was there making it worse. That would have driven me nuts.

Fuck that's almost worse than the falling. Keep it together MIL.

Leaf 🌱 I'm glad you and DD didn't get hurt, but I'm sorry your mil made it worst by freaking out. I would probably follow babybeans advice and just call to let your ob know.

Me and the H are going out tonight to celebrate my promotion. I'm excited to eat all the food.
The nursery for baby N is coming along well. The walls are done and I painted the dresser today so now my H just needs to paint the built in shelves and we need to wallpaper the desk, then we can get it setup. I am hoping to have it done by next weekend.
Tomorrow we're picking up our Christmas tree and decorating it.

Remember my MIL/Christmas celebrations drama from a couple weeks ago? Well, MIL guilted/wore H down and we're going. Insert so many eye rolls. Apparently, BIL has to work and it's easier for him to get to MIL's following than to come here. Mind you, we live 20 minutes away. H knows I'm irritated. I baked cookies today & H, the kids & I are gong to decorate them tomorrow morning when we get home from grocery shopping & before we get the toddler down for a nap. I made 2 dozen sugar cut outs. Tonight, when he talked to MIL, she was saying they haven't decided whether they're ordering pizza or getting chicken from a local place. H asked if she wanted us to bring anything and she's like "well, aren't you bringing cookies for us to decorate?" & H, LOVE HIM, told her no, if they wanted to decorate cookies, they're more than welcome to come over & we'll gladly order pizza, but NO, I will not be taking my mixer and the royal icing ingredients (because MIL won't have them). We're going to decorate cookies in the morning and I only made two dozen, sorry.

That sucks tinyjoys . Unfortunately, I have a mil that is good at guilt tripping too. I am glad that your H did stand up to her and tell her to come over if she wanted to help decorate cookies. Here's a ridiculous story that the cookie decorating kinda reminds me of. A couple of years ago, my mil got it into her head that she wanted us to decorate a gingerbread house with her and my nephews. Here's the catch...we live 16 hours away from her so she wanted to mail us a gingerbread house and have us facetime her the same time they were decorating. But then she started telling DH that she didn't want to mail us the kit because it costs too much to ship, so we ended up having to buy it ourselves. She also picked a day and time that DH had something he had to do and wasn't even going to be home, so I got stuck trying to make it work by myself. It went about as well as could be expected when trying to help a 2 year old make a gingerbread house, and being the camera gal. Mil kept complaining that she could only see the top of DD's head since I couldn't get the ipad to sit at a good angle. I think I lasted 20 minutes before I told her it wasn't working and told DH I am never doing it again.

auri, I am dying. My mom, who lives 3.2 miles away, has tried doing the FaceTime thing, except for bedtime stories. Dude, no.

I'm sorry you fell Leaf 🌱. I've fallen twice this pregnancy luckily on my legs and butt and I've done the same as babybean just monitor at home. I hope your DD calmed down quickly and that you aren't sore tomorrow.

I slept for 7 hours straight last night and took a 4 hour nap today so I'm feeling a bit better. I'm just bummed because I was going to do my Christmas baking this weekend and go through the bins of DD1's clothes that are taking over the guest bedroom before my in laws sleepover next weekend. Oh well I'm glad I have the weekend to rest and that I got sick before Christmas.

cp3 I’m glad you’re getting some rest. auri my ils try to do the same. It’s so hard. Props for even trying , that sounds crazy. tinyjoys good luck tomorrow. My middle dd has pneumonia so it’s been a bummer of a weekend. Eliminated a lot of dramas between dh and I over a family thing we will not be attending tomorrow, but sick 3yos are not fun.

Leaf 🌱 How are you feeling today? I'm sorry that your MIL totally freaked out, that can't have helped. tinyjoys Oof, your MIL. I'm glad your H stood up to her a bit about the cookies. Um, no thank you to hauling over the ingredients and a mixer (?!) to make them there. cp3 Glad you're feeling better! I hope you're back at 100% before Christmas, and like you said, just got the bug out of the way before then.

DH went on an outdoor rock-climbing trip with some friends today. I took advantage and channeled my nesting urge by going through the baskets and bins in our closet, along with his nightstand. One giant bag of trash and three big boxes of donations later, and I feel much lighter. The flammable part is that when I say taking advantage, I mean I made some executive decisions about his stuff that would have taken hours and hours if he'd been the one to do it (which I've been bugging him to for...over a year). No, DH, you don't need 10 pairs of thick winter socks when we live in southern CA. I'll keep two for when we travel at the holidays, and put the rest in the donate pile. Also, the junk-y stocking stuffers his mom gets him that have been sitting in the closet for literally 4+ years that I guarantee he hasn't thought about since whatever Christmas morning? Donate pile.
If there was anything that I even remotely thought he might want to keep, I set it aside for him to look at when he gets home. But I was ruthless about the rest, including a ton of my own stuff.

I think DD might be going through a growth spurt. She has been eating a lot more today than she normally does. She pretty much almost finished eating her dinner tonight before I had a chance to start eating. It sure felt nice to not fight with her to eat.

You sound just like me and MH. I am always asking him to go through random drawers and baskets to store or toss things. It feels so nice to get rid of crap. H just went through a bunch of old files and papers today and shredded sooo much stuff and it made me so happy.

katietopaz I’m mostly ok, thank you for checking on me. MIL actually texted me to apologize for her overreaction which was nice. DD thankfully doesn’t even seem to have a mark in her... though she did come down with the stomach flu later in the afternoon. It’s been quite the weekend. Also, want to come nest at my house? I can’t seem to find the motivation to get started on anything Baby related, let alone deep clean or purge. tinyjoys I’m glad YH put his foot down over the cookies. Your MIL is something else. cp3 I’m glad you’re feeling better. All i though all weekend was “at least it’ll be gone by Christmas” too.
