Pretty much feeling like an awful mom. I yelled at DD1 at lot tonight because she doesn't listen anymore. I broke down in tears while putting her to bed. My sweet girl just kept saying "sad?" Over and over and hugging me. I'm not sure what I ever did to deserve her but I'm sure as well going to try a lot harder. I just seem to have no patience and am super irritable. Any other STMs feel this way or is it just me? ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ Yes. You are not alone. I have traded my nausea for a very short fuse.

aprilz81 that rug is gorgeous. A 10! I'm just thinking about all the baby spit up I've cleaned off of rugs though and even worse, the eventual stomach flu puke. It always happens at night and something for dinner was red everytime.

My mom texted me a picture of this BEAUTIFUL rug that I now must have for the nursery, but can't justify spending $1,000 on a rug that may only be used for a few years... I want the 8 ft round and the cheapest I've been able to find it is for about is for $1050 at Bed Bath and Beyond, minus a 20% of coupon. If I do the 5x8 rectangle it goes down to about $600... Why do I have to fall in love with expensive things?!?! Shame on your mom for texting you such a pretty rug that fits the nursery 🙈

Congrats on all the great anatomy scans today!!! Update your color on the spreadsheet! aprilz81 I'll be the party pooper and throw out my opinion that you shouldn't spend that much $ on that rug. Our light-colored rug was basically gross after 16 months with DS. It was just $100 on Amazon so we tossed it and replaced.

Agreed on not getting a white rug for a nursery aprilz81. All I can think of is the time I brought DD into her room after bath time, set her down so I could grab a diaper, turn around, and she has rapidly crawled across the room leaving a trail of blueberry-infused diarrhea. Fun! Luckily that was before we had put the rug down. I do however endorse spending more for a rug you love. I like the ones from Land of Nod a lot, and got hers there. They have lots of fun patterns (which will be more forgiving of stains).

sunfrogger, all the sympathy. DD has been very challenging lately. I'm a big advocate for staying calm and unruffled when dealing with behavior but it's been really hard this week. Then today she did the exact same things and I had all the patience. It was so upsetting because it made me realize that my reactions are dependent on my mood/feelings/sleep and not on her behavior. Me reacting differently sometimes must be so confusing for her. I'm also vowing to do better.

Thanks. It's good to hear I'm not alone. My hubs suggested it could just be from hormones but I don't remember this. Buttt at the same time I wasn't chasing a toddler last time, either.

Yay for good scans!! Pregnancy is so strange, especially dreams. In my dreams for the past week or so I've been making passes at other men, like hard core teasing. Usually it's men I know but have not and would never pursue. I guess it's fun to dream about? I'm having these too haha. I had a dream last week about my high school boyfriend (and I guess we almost dated again senior year of college haha). In my dream I wasn't married and my mom and I were visiting his house, his wife hated me and he was flirting with me hardcore & apparently wasn't happy with his wife haha. It was so weird.

I get so impatient with DD these days and it makes me so sad bc she usually does nothing to deserve it (other than just being two haha).

sunfrogger, I forget how many weeks you are but I had a 4 week period I think from 16-20 weeks that I had meltdowns every few nights. My DD also doesn't listen and she is in a hitting stage. I would yell at her then break down crying. She always made sure that I was okay but it was so frustrating at the time. It's gotten little better since then. She is still frustrating but for some reason its not bothering me as much now.

benandjerrys, sunfrogger, and I definitely don't remember this from when I was pregnant with DD but I also didn't have a LO pushing my buttons then. I'm sure I probably jinxed myself saying the hormonal period was over as we leave for the beach today.

We are like dream twins. I dreamt that my college BF got divorced and posted a status that vaguely related to me on Facebook 😂 I haven't thought about him in years!

Our light-colored rug was basically gross after 16 months with DS. It was just $100 on Amazon so we tossed it and replaced. I found the same rug in a darker grey... Not quite as striking as the white and pale grey, but it still would work wonderfully in the nursery. DH is currently vetoing spending $700 on a rug (not that I blame him). He thinks his parents may buy it for us but I'm not sure I'm comfortable dropping hints like that.

Trust, I wasn't pregnant when my son was 3. I don't know how old your LO is but there was a rough phase for both of us. We both still have our crazy moments but can usually get it in check easier now. Kids can be cray. I have a bit more patience with DD so far probably because it's a little more BTDT, if it makes you feel any better.

I have traded my nausea for a very short fuse. +1 my nausea still sucks and it is causing me to have a super short fuse. I'm grumpy, irritable, and also feel like I've been a lousy mom the last several weeks. DD (2 y/o) will push me to my limit and then see me laying down on the couch (which is multiple times a day) and she'll come up and pat my tummy and hug me and say "You don't feel so good mama" or "does your tummy hurt?" and it kills me.
