It's Monday. Let's have some new randoms

[fierymama]

At work for an hour and I am ready to be done. So over it. Thankfully the sun is out, hopefully that helps my mood a bit.

[fierymama]

Hi kaeguri!

[Pizzaslut]

kaeguri, heeeeeey!

[Pizzaslut]

I thought I was going into labor last night. I was so uncomfortable and had cramping that wouldn't go away. I was having trouble sleeping and as soon as I just falling asleep, I heard a thud. J had fallen out of bed. Poor guy.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

oh no Pizzaslut, i hope it was a soft landing for him. So like I said yesterday - increase your water. I know I know, you drink a lot already. Try to drink more. Maybe eat more water based fruits like watermelon to do so. And slow down, rest more, and elevate those feet.

[jedi]

Today is the day they are suppose to finish the sliding glass door. Hey are suppose to be here between 8:30-9:30. It’s 9:20. They better be here within 10 min

[mommabakes]

Starting to get frustrated with DS1s speech. He uses full sentences but his articulation is so awful and he's difficult to understand. His pedi hasn't commented on it, but I take DS2 for his 6 month check up in a couple weeks and will be bringing it up. He's capable of articulating, but doesn't care. That seems to be the issue with everything, he just doesn't care about anything! So frustrating.

[jedi]

Guess whose not here yet? I just tried calling and they said “they will be here soon they must have gotten stuck in traffic”’

Soooooo, maybe I shouldn't be working out?

[jedi]

Still waiting.

😡😡😡😡😡😡

[CestLaVie]

I am trying to arrange a meeting to negotiate wage. I am asking for much more. Any advice?

I printed off statistics for my job title that are specific to our area and it's almost double what I make. I made a little package of the amount of money I made the company in the past year. Anything else? I am super nervous but I need to try.

[jedi]

Apparently my definition of “be there soon” and theirs is very different. They still aren’t here

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

jedi, where are they coming from? is there traffic issues?

call again.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

Pizzaslut, workout your biceps by picking up 32 oz water jugs. from a sitting position.

[CestLaVie]

jedi, wow that is so frustrating!!

[Betweenthelines]

H texted me thanking me for putting the stools together last night. I feel a little better this afternoon.

[jedi]

Omg! So right after I hit submit the people showed up. 45 min after I called. Ethan and I had some place to be so we left, H is working from home. I got a text from H,”you will be amazed by our new door” you guys it looks exactly the same. The guys are gone and I don’t know what happened because H is on a conference call! Clearly they had issues and here we are! 5 months since we initially signed up to do this AND ITS NOT DONE! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Are you doing mostly cardio? Your electrolytes might be low. I'm getting BH now, along with headaches, when my salt/potassium/magnesium intake is low. I thought I was going into early labor with E, when it was just a ton of BH cramping. I was drinking between 100-110 oz a day, and the nurses told me I was still dehydrated. Sure enough, more water did the trick. Poor J!

Not really cardio at this point. It's too uncomfortable! I didn't feel like this with J. I was able to workout 4-5 days per week and still had a ton of energy without being too uncomfortable. I don't feel like I am pushing myself too hard. I probably need more water and probably could stop eating as much sugar/bad carbs as I am. I will try to add more water and healthier food options.

Also, I am craving ice cubes like crazy. I could chew on them all day long. My OB checked my iron levels and they are completely normal, so who knows. I wonder if my iron levels dropped significantly since I had bloodwork at 8 weeks. I am going to bring all of this up to her at my 36 week appt on Thursday.

[shellyr]

I think I have a UTI. I called my PCP and left a message. Do you guys go to urgent care for a possible UTI?

My mom just called and my dad is getting re-admitted to the transplant service because his hemoglobin is only 5.1. He needs monitoring and transfusions.

[jedi]

shellyr thinking of your dad

[jedi]

So, the frame for the door was glued into place or something. I have no idea. Something with the frame is screwed up and theyneeded to order another one. That will take 10 days. I need to call but I’m pretty sure they won’t schedule anything until the frame is ready. Whatever they needed to do involved removing the frame and they were afraid to do that because it was glued and night break and we’d be screwed if that happened.

I had some crap to do for moms club and didn’t get to call and talk to them

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

jedi, i would be calling and asking why this was unknown until now. I mean, they were previously there to install the door right? when it didn't fit, correct? how did they not know this issue existed until today? This is not their first site visit.

[armpants]

Betweenthelines I see we're married to the same person. I've really been feeling it lately because I've been handling so much of the appointments for M (read all but his PT appointment this Friday). I'm fried. I feel like I'm in charge of all the things.

Hugs, treat yourself soon.

[armpants]

Good thoughts for your dad shellyr.

[armpants]

Pizzaslut you also didn't have a toddler to take care of last time either. Or the stress of things with your H's health
Give yourself some grace.

I have no idea. They contract out. So it was s contractor here before. He must have fucked up

[jedi]

We are suppose to get 1-2 inches of precipitation this weekend. They have no idea how much of that will be rain or how much will be snow because 1. It’s still early and 2. The temp is forecasted to be right around freezing.

According to google, on average 1 inch of precipitation equals 13 inches of snow. We are in the rain then snow area. Hopefully they can get a better idea as the day gets closer.

[redandblue]

armpants, thanks for the tag.  Yes I've been a dirty lurker lately.  Honestly because I hate typing on my new phone, and tend to avoid doing so whenever possible.  And work continues to be banana's, and the evenings I just totally veg out.  Lots going on with us.  M continues to have some pretty big melt downs and had a difficult phase of screaming/screechiing (has been getting a bit better...but still not fun).  We are making a referral for OT through his daycare, and I"m keeping on eye on his melt downs, but may need to make additional referrals for that.  The last 6 months or so have been stressful for me, so I think we have decided that at this point we will not be planning on expanding our family.  It makes me feel so incredibly sad to admit that, I really hoped to grow our family again, but I just can't imagine what our life would be like if we added another little one to the mix.  Work is so busy and I'm dealing with one person on my team who is working herself towards getting fired...so that's been frustrating as well.  DS1 continues to coast....DH and I are going good, and absolutely loving our new house and community!  We have awesome neighbours and have been having so much fun!  I can't wait for the construction around us to be finished, but that won't be for another year or so, probably.  I'm loving slowly getting settled and decorating our new spaces!  

I'm sorry this pregnancy has been difficult, but you must be relieved to have a c-section date!  I just read and article written about a mom on an adoption group that I am apart of.  I had no clue, but she was a surrogate for 3 children!  On top of two of her own children (one through biology and one through adoption), she is now pregnant with another of her own children biologically.  It is such an incredible gift to help create families.  I hope you have lots of you time planned for after this baby is born!

Well, you of all people deserve appreciation since you’re eleventy months pregnant.. But I get it.. It reminds me of the GD (or was it Parenting? Lol) discussion of being the “default parent”, and then also adding in taking care of life, work, home, and trying to take care of yourself, it’s just so tiring.
