Tuesday randoms/vents

I'm sad that Labor Day was my last day off work till I give birth. I just want a day to lay around and do nothing.

Vent: I went to get my breast pump Saturday. My stupid insurance pisses me off (BCBS). I had called and they said I didn't need a prescription and could go anytime, didn't have to wait until 30 days before due date. I had asked them for a list of pumps covered but they seemed to not understand the question.  I asked my SIL where she got hers since we have the same insurance company. She went to a local hospital's pharmacy and got a Medela PISA. Great. So I went there and they needed a Rx! Of course my OB is closed Saturdays. So when I go to my appt next week I'm going to ask for one in case another pharmacy needs it. I know I'm incredibly early and don't need it now, but I just wanted to get it done with.

My eyes suck. My left eye is NOT reacting to stimuli so I keep poking it accidentally since it wont squint. I have to consciously blink bot to get it close, and I have to wear my glasses. Now I'm realizing that my glasses are scratched to hell too. Maybe if this baby stays inside a few more days I can get them fixed up too?

Or are there glasses scratch fix kits?

I am so sore. I have not had a chiropractor appointment for 2 weeks now so my SPD is quite bad, and with the baby's head engaging my bones down there seriously hurt. Last night I felt so sick from being sore and then I burst out crying. I am so tired of being sore and of moaning.

[blushing]

My other random, I cried this morning because DS goes back to school tomorrow. This made me realise that it was our last day alone together. Next time he is on school holidays there will be another person around, and for some reason this made me really sad.

We bought a dresser/change table for the nursery this weekend! We originally saw it at Costco (it matches the crib we bought, also purchased at Costco) a couple months ago for $400. Saw it Friday (while at an OOT Costco) for $200. Asked about inventory and locations for the same price and saw that they had it somewhat close to our home, although not our normal location. Picked it up on Sunday! So excited to see things starting to come together!

Our fan in our furnace went out. Boo! $800 later at least it's working.

If one more person text me & asks if I'm in labor I might go BSC. If I don't answer people text immediately they start texting omg are you in labor. Ugh!!!! Stop harassing me folks I will let you know! Or maybe I don't want people to know I'm in labor. I'm cranky today!!!!

[demandypants]

I think my heartburn is starting to ignore the zantac I have been beating it down with. I am hoping it is just something I ate.

[KaraOrNot]

I stayed home from work again today, because I still can't sit or stand. I am so frustrated with this and it is making me super emotional. I just wish that there was something to make it better, but other than the chiropractor, my doctor said the only think that I can do is wait until the baby is here. So helpful!

Sorry to be a broken record about this, but it is consuming my entire life right now!

[MrsAggie]

I ordered the nursery furniture today. I'm freaking out a little. For some reason furniture makes it more real.

[miss.colorado]

I think I might tackle the painting portion of baby's room tonight. Seeing my ticker over halfway across is making me freak out. Babies in our family come early, so my mom has always said to have the baby's room done early....so I've officially hit the freak out stage.

And acid reflux. Every damn day.

OMG THE AC IS OUT

Sorry for the yelling. This is not good for Texas. They need to fix it like right now.

[gretchenindisguise]

I was visiting with my brother this weekend, and they invited friends over who brought their 4 day old. For some reason it really kicked up the "holy shit we're going to have one of those in the fairly near future" and I started freaking out. This pregnancy has gone very fast and yet very slow. I can't decide if I want it to be over or last forever.

[nessness]

I hate pants right now. My full-panel pants feel itchy and tight around my belly, and my low-panel pants don't stay up and dig into the bottom of my belly. I wonder if people will notice if I wear the same two skirts and three dresses for the next five weeks...

[centralsquare]

The heartburn is out of control. I'm not sure what was more miserable, the horrible heartburn, the violent vomiting, or the burning in my nose/throat afterwards. I could not even keep down water last night. Misery.

[katie80]

I've started working on making freezer meals for after the baby gets here. Just went to get some ice out of the freezer, and it's warm. Everything is completely thawed and needs to be thrown out. There's probably a solid 2 weeks worth of food in there and I want to cry. The light is still on so it's not the power, and the fridge part of the unit is still fine (as far as I can tell. it's still cold, I mean, and this is an extra fridge that we mostly just use for drinks, so it's not a huge deal if that part gets warm, at least in terms of food safety.)

Ugggggggggh

DH wants pizza for dinner tonight. I don't want anything for dinner tonight. I'm so comfortable on my couch.

[estrellita]

feistypants it must be pizza night because I am craving pizza like crazy! I texted H a while ago to see if he either wanted to pick up some frozen ones or if I should just order something. I am STARVING and he isn't getting back to me even though he should be home from work by now I'm half considering just ordering without him! Baby wants pizza! Haha.

ETA: I just saw H pull into the parking lot. WTF!! He couldn't have answered my texts before he left or answer his phone?!

[scribellesam]

DH has really been stepping up his game in terms of helping me with housework and cooking the past couple weeks. Maybe I've just been acting so pathetic and uncomfortable that he can't help but notice. Regardless, I'll take it!

I already hate pants, so people are just going to have to get used to my skirts and dresses. They'll deal.

[krystee]

I had pizza for dinner tonight too.

I worked 10 hours today and have two more hours I should do from home...but I just can't. I am completely spent.

Time to put PJs on (it's 7:15) and read the three issues of People magazine a coworker have me today.

That is my vent!  

Though I'm not in TX, today is the hottest it's been all damn summer and my AC is not working.  It's 83 degrees in here, first day of school with KIDS is tomorrow, and I'm so hot I feel like I'm going to puke or pass out or both - so that means no sleep (or at least much less than what has been passing for sleep.)  Great way to start the damn year.

I keep it 70 degrees in this house and sleep on the couch with the ceiling fan going and I still wake  up drenched in sweat.  I'm not going to survive the night and am seriously considering heading to my parents for their couch.
