January Jellybeans 2013!...

[JCh]

I hate my mom .... I know hate is a strong word but since I broke up with my ex cuz he cheated etc after 12 years and 2 kids she hasn't stopped being against me saying it was my fault cuz I had gained weight keep in mind so did he but then when my ex stole my kids for 2 month and me freaking out my mom knew the whole time where they were and didn't tell me now its been almost a year I don't talk to her but found out she talks to him all the time but refuses to talk to me how us this My fault he cheated he broke up the family but my fault I hate her so much ur mom is not suppose to to do this sorry about the rant just saddens me that she can do this to me

There is no good excuse for cheating on someone - If u were in some horrible freak accident and looked different it still wouldn't give an excuse, as an adult u can choose to divorce before deciding to do this.....
I don't even have words for how bad it is that ur mom is on his side and blaming u... I'd say try to make distance from her as she CLEARLY is in need of having her head examined......

Be happy with who u are and where u've come from but don't look back - nothing will change - he'll always be a cheater whether ur a super model or extremely obese.

Brieri1: So sorry about the news of your husband. How soon is he having surgery? He may recover enough by the time baby comes to at least carry baby and help out? Do you have family nearby that can help? I wouldn't wish that on anyone. So sorry, friend.

Kaiecee: Ugh. If she's not supporting you, I would cut her off completely. How horrible she sounds!

Welcome FitzBaby! Feel free to drop some lines anytime. I feel there may be about a dozen of us who post regularly and lots of lurkers. I'd love another BnB friend.

La Mere: I think it's wonderful you guys are compromising with the internet time. That's the key to a good relationship. Sorry we won't see you around as much but very glad you guys are working it out. I asked my husband to quit World of Warcraft a couple of years ago because it was a huge time suck. He did and it's MUCH better because of it.

Poppy84: I work per diem and made my last shift in mid December! It's a short one so here's hoping I have minimal swelling at that point so I can be on my feet.

 

[DittyByrd]

I have been working on baby's room today. Taking down old curtain rods, blinds, and shelving and getting ready for all the cute baby stuff. I am currently washing the bedding and have taken the window coverings out for ironing. EEEEE!!!! So excited.

I can definitely feel my stamina getting less and less. I need more breaks and feel out of breath. My laundry is in the basement and my bathroom is on the second floor so I do stairs all day long.

 

[BlossomJ]

Kaiecee - I agree with the others. You're clearly a better person than either your mother or your cheating ex & as sad as it is that you don't have a good relationship with your mum, it sounds as if you're better away from her. So glad you've got OH and a wonderful little family of your own now x

.... Still waiting to hear about the house

 

[Nikkilewis14]

I have days like that. Part of me feels guilty if I am not making lots of progress on the house because I left my FT job in June (not pregnancy related) so that I could get outta there and also to pursue per diem veterinary work. I sometimes have a week or more in between jobs and I am not making as much as I used to. I push myself to be productive elsewhere even though DH says he is completely fine with our current state.

I have been struggling with baby boy names. Our girl name is settled: Violet. But boys are much harder.
I love Ethan but it is exceedingly popular. I also like Carter recently. I am attracted to "G" names: Grant, Graham, and Garrett (Gavin is taken by another family member or it would have been at the top of the list). Any likes?

 

[Kaiecee]

I'm so happy I have u ladies and yes my mother is horrible always has been I can't wait to have a little girl one day and not take advantage of a mother and daughter relationship I really appreciate everything u all said and has made me feel a little better at least I've stopped crying

 

[AJThomas]

Kaicee sorry to hear about ur mom, but sometimes even family isn't worth the stress, its better to have nothing to do with them than to let them treat you that way.

Brieri, is your DH going to be bedridden after the surgery? If so for how long? I know its stressful but it might not be as bad as you fear it might be. You'll be away from your family, true but you might be grateful to have him home with you and baby in those first few weeks if he'll be able to move about a bit. You should at least have an extra pair of hands and he'll get to spend time with baby and get to know her.

I love Ethan. Carter is my second fave!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ditty: I life carter, beautiful name for a boy.

Kaicee: sorry to hear about what's happened / happening. You have us ladies if you ever need people to talk to including a little vent now and then.

Poppy: when do you finish work? I finish December 13, maternity doesn't start until jan as on leave in December but believe me it cannot come quick enough.

I feel like I've really noticed a difference these last few days. Just all of a sudden feel very pregnant. Sleeping is becoming an issue, I suffer from bad hip bursitis which means I cannot sleep on my sides for long, so as I can't sleep on my back I toss and turn all night, maybe getting two hrs on each before the sheer pain wakes me.
Also suffering from shortness of breath, especially when baby is up high, anyone else?
Shattered again as well. Sorry to moan on

Welcome to all the new ladies, looking forward to sharing this experience with you all x

Morning/evening ladies

Brieri, so so sorry you and hubby are having to go through this, thinking of you and wishing him a very speedy recovery.

Little J and Kaiecee - rant away, that's why we're here Kaiecee, I agree with the girls, you dont need to hear things like that - especially from your mum so perhaps keep her at a distance.

Mammaspath and LaMere such gorgeous bumps

DeeDee I know it's not quite Wednesday there yet but it is here so I can wish you a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope you and Matthew are spoiled.

Lots of to everyone xx

 

[snowangel187]

Ditty I was thinking, I had Ethan Gabriel on our boys list. Thought I'd mention it since you like "G" names.

 

[sassy_mom]

Is anyone else still able to sleep on their stomach? I find myself rolling over at night and waking up on my stomach. Usually I have one leg drawn up towards my arm pit but I'm always very comfy. I do think it is very strange that even as big as my bump is that I can sleep like that. I don't do it on purpose ...

My mom asked me what I wanted her to buy for me and I laughed and said anything. She said well that just isn't helpful so we went through the registry and she decided she wanted to buy a big item so she is getting the swing for us.

I just love doing all this baby stuff!!!

 

[AJThomas]

^I sleep on my tummy with my leg up like you said and pillows under my shoulders, so far it's the most comfortable position to be in.

 

[River12]

Brieri I hope all goes well for your DH's surgery! You make think the timing is terrible but I always believe things happen for a reason we just dont always know why. I hope he can have it real soon and be home with you and the bub in a few months.

Today is V day!! Given we lost our son in the second trimester this was a huge milestone we couldn't wait to reach. The time is flying. OH will be home from work tomorrow after 3 weeks away. I can't wait! I can't believe in just a few months our LO will be here

 

[ARuppe716]

SO frustrated today. I know I've mentioned it before but three years ago I had my hip replaced after battling hip problems for years and years. So far it just flares up randomly and then a day or two later its fine. However, I have had hip pain for the last week and a half or so and no end in sight. I took a heating pad to work today to put on my hip and back. I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. I really want to sleep on my back with my hip out straight but I'm not allowed to. It's making my back sore and the pain is deep in the bone and goes into my thigh. It feels just like it did before my replacement.

So I called my doctor last week, who has always been amazing, and was given an email address to send all my questions and concerns and was told I would get a response. I never did so I called back today and was told they would speak directly to the doctor when he comes in. Now I know he's busy because he's a specialist in NYC and I'm an old patient who has had no problems up until now. But I had to get up from my desk for like 10 minutes today at work and when I got back saw that I had a missed call. But he left no message and when I called back I got the answering service. Apparently they go home at 4pm. I just want to cry because the pain is scary and frustrating. I just want some answers and reassurance that I'm not ruining my beautiful new hip I also want to find out if this is something that I will just have to live with...Not sure I can 15 more weeks like this!

[Nikkilewis14]
