Monday morning randoms

"moist" really is a gross word.

i have to go on a business trip this week with some people who i haven't seen in awhile (they're in another office) and with whom i drank (um, quite a bit) last time we were together. chances that they'll believe that i innocently became a teetotaler in the past 4 months? likely nil. andplusalso, i look huge.

I just made an appointment to take the dog to the vet- I specifically chose the appointment they offered tomorrow afternoon, which will ensure that I'm home in time to watch the O's first game. Also, I'm using sick leave to take off early for it. Yay for priorities! Lol.

I'm staying home from work today. I'm dead tired and have an u/s at 2.

MIL stressed to me yesterday that I had to have more than one kiddo and they should be a year apart.

I haven't even gotten this one popped out yet.

o.m.g.

i might laugh maniacally and start saying crazy things to a person like that.  like "well, we want to be sure that we'll actually keep this version before investing in a new one."  and "i'm just going to wait on any decisions like that until i see how quickly my vagina recovers."  "great idea!  will you be my surrogate?"

I ended up telling the guy I've been seeing about my rape last night. He's actually asked a couple times if something has happened to me in the past (which, uuuggggggh I don't know if he's just intuitive or if it's that obvious). I've brushed him off and avoided the question but last night I just told him. It was even more terrifying than telling a friend. But he was asking a direct question and I didn't want to keep lying and avoiding.

He's pretty much an incredible person. I was so scared and he was so amazing. He shared some things with me and then had to go home, but he ended up texting me terrible Whitney Houston jokes until I fell asleep. He gets me.

I am actively trying to not think about the fact that I could go into labor at any point and bring home a newborn. I keep making plans for the weekend, this week in school, etc. and putting off the fact that any day she could make an appearance.

I think I am in denial and I am really not super excited yet about having her? Does that make me a horrible person or just one scared shitless about labor and my life changing so much?

This is normal. I was ready at the end of my pregnancy to not be pregnant anymore but I was scared shitless about having a baby at the end of it.

It's a HUGE change, and there is no one right way to react to it.

MWOS! I'm so glad your guy is a good one. You definitely deserve it.

[ElizabethBennet]

I just got DD up and when I picked her up she wrapped her arms around my neck and said "you're my favorite." I love that kid.

I am about to book a family cruise on the Oasis and cannot wait.

[Deleted]

My mom questioned my parenting abilities and called me selfish this morning. I'm not even pregnant. WTF mother. WTF?!

I've eaten far too much easter candy this weekend.

My bunny cake turned out fabulous yesterday. Everyone loved it.

We had such a good beach trip this weekend. I had tons of anxiety thinking it would throw M off of her schedule and we would all be miserable, but she did awesome. Slept 11-12 hours every night, napped during the day, etc. She loved the beach and loved the sand. She ate two fistfuls of it, lol. AND she slept in her crib last night, all night! I'm so proud of her.

I feel so nauseous today. It keeps coming in waves and I have no idea why.

i know this is nosy, but did u ever take a preg test? ha

[underwaterrhymes]

My sister was here in the first two days after we brought K home.

She suggested I take a photo of my boobs before my milk came in so I could see the difference. In my sleep-deprived state, I thought this sounded like a great idea.

So I did.

With my cell phone.

A little later that night, I visited Facebook and I have no idea what I did but all of a sudden I see a message "syncing photos to Facebook."



I was frantic for a few minutes before I figured out you have to approve them before they post. I turned off the automatic syncing because holy fuck.

Doing great! Tired, of course because little man is a champion sleeper during the day but wants to check things out and eat every other hour at night, but we're figuring things out. He's a super breast feeder, so I feel really lucky there.

He's a REALLY laid back baby. He really only cries when we change him and he decides he'd rather be eating. The housekeepers were just here and he slept right through them vacuuming and everything.

He's really neat.

[peachykate]

We are on the first day of that 3 day potty boot camp. All I'm doing is eating because just sitting here watching him to see if he peed his pants yet is boring the hell out if me.

I missed his first accident which apparently is a huge no no for this "process" to work.

I've got a lot of randoms this morning.

I'm judging my 22 year old cousin HARD. I haven't seen her since August. She has new lips. BIG OL FAT LIPS. What is she thinking?! She was gorgeous before. I totally get upkeep plastic surgery, but getting it this young? She is ruining her face.

And I'm jealous of her Prada bag she was wearing yesterday.

I'm also proud of/scared for my 13 year old nephew. Recently, one of his friends had texted him about how he was going to shoot and kill some teachers and students at nephew's school. Nephew turned him in. This scares the shit out of me.

Same nephew's 14 year old step-brother was admitted to the hospital to be held for 72 hours. Long story short: He's ADHD, possible ODD. He stole some things. SIL threatened him with calling the police. He returned most of the items and then wrote a letter saying he was having suicidal thoughts.

It's been a very hard weekend for my brother and his family.
