Waves, huge hugs. sorry things are hard. have you considered putting hannah in day care one or two days a week, just so she can have some exposure to other (well behaved) kids? Lots of strong willed, head strong chidlren learn by example and will follow in the footsteps of the calmer quieter kids. Plus, the activities and "thinking" that she will have to do may be a good use of her energy!

Thanks. The thought crossed my mind a little the last couple of days but I'm not sure we can afford it. I'm in a local mom group on FB and everyone always posts asking about daycare and from what I gather, most of them don't allow you to only attend a day or two a week, which is ridiculous. And then at the same time, I'm worried she'll get kicked out for being a destructive hellion. But I do think I could use the regular break so that I don't start to resent her (which is definitely happening) and she could have another outlet and child interaction.
 
It's a boy!! I'm gonna have another little nephew! Sad to say but I am a little relieved it is not a girl :P Lol. I would have been happy either way of course but a little part of me celebrated when she said boy! Lol.
 
Woohoo for not having to share middle name!!!!! :happydance: Now keeping my fingers crossed that my cousin and sister are both having boys...they find out the 9th and 15th of April
 
Yay Cassidy!! So happy for you! Now you don't have to worry about the middle names at all!
 
Yayyyy Cassidy that's great!

I'm doing ok thanks. I feel like I'm wearing a mask though. I'm ok on the outside but crumbling inside. My manage asked me if I was ok yesterday (she knows everything) and I had to choke back the tears. She then told me I didn't seem myself. I just can't wait for these results to return. It's going to double drag because we go on holiday at the end of April and results are due beginning of May!
 
Britt - I would call your OB. This coming from someone who never called her OB and ended up with a 34 weeker. Next time I will be calling for feeling crappy. Period like cramps are not normal. The dark poo is from the iron. Totally normal. Maybe you are a bit dehydrated? Drink a bunch of water, go home - F the hours, put your feet up and relax. Hope you feel better.

Cass - yay for a boy!

Waves - sorry Hannah is such a handful. Glad your family is helping out though. Maybe try some rewards for good behavior? Is she old enough to understand? I'm sure part of it is the new baby/her age/your lack of hormones/sleep...but you def need something to help especially if you are starting to feel resentment. And from reading your post you sound super stressed. Any friends that could come over and help out? Even if it's just playing with Hannah or coloring? Hell, put her favorite movie on replay all day. Hope it gets better. If I was closer I'd totally come help you out.
 
Rachel, I agree--I wish we were all closer, Id totally take Hannah for a day too!

We've tried rewards - stickers and M&Ms and it doesn't seem to be making a difference. I've tried explaining why she received the reward until I was blue in the face so she could put two & two together but it just goes in one ear and out the other. As for friends coming to help... apparently not. I honestly don't really have local friends and the few I do have are too busy in their own lives. And honestly... we put her favorite movies & tv shows on ALL DAY EVERY DAY just to give some distraction but she's started to ignore them all. We only have Netflix (no cable yet) so my choices are limited because she's seen everything a million times.

Thanks <3

has she seen pingu on netflix? its weird but kids get hooked in. and there are a lot of episodes.
 
Britt, maybe you should give the doctor a call if you're that worried. It's their job to reassure you and make sure all is well!

Amanda, glad you got in with someone else who wants to help you. What a weird situation!

Waves, I'm so sorry it's so frustrating with Hannah. :(

Cassidy, yay!

Morgan, how awesome for you! That's great! I would totally do that if I could! Did you find a dress?

I know I've missed some ladies.. sorry! I tried to nap this afternoon.. not much success. I napped off and on for about 3.5 hours. I have no idea how I'm going to make it through this night without loading up on caffeine. And nothing tastes good anyway. Time to get ready for work.. 13 hours, here I come. I hope things are calm!
 
Cassidy yay
Kara what a cute little peanut.
Morgan awesome. Your so cute.
Afm I have af and went to work now I feel like crap. Mentally not physically. My ex bfs wife was there with their baby. I like her actually but she was asking when I was going to have one and I almost bawled. Then one of the old guys said you should have a dozen kids your so good with them. I spent the rest of the day hiding out back.
 
I'm so sorry Katrina. People are SUCH idiots sometimes! Even when they mean well..
 
I was doing ok for having af until today. Dh said I should tell them to f off. I said I don't have a new job yet.
I'm sorry I feel like such a downer.
 
I hope I get the new job. It would be awesome, I would love to say shove it to my boss. Dh is so much more blunt then me.
 
Ugh Katrina people can be so insensitive :? :hugs:

Just got back from apt, baby's HB was 154 and fundal height is measuring right on schedule. She's head down with her back to my left side and feet by my right side ribs which makes sense since that's where she kicks me all day. Was also talking to my midwife about how experts are now debating whether water birth is dangerous or not because of infection. She said that they're waiting to see what the hospital decides about whether they can catch the baby in te tub or just labor then deliver outside the tub.
