Moody Monday: What's up?

Ah...it is Monday once again!  They seem to come too fast for my liking!  I'm a mix of emotions today...In one way I am refreshed from having a mini vacation from work (4 1/2 days off) and in one way I am no ready to go back because I have been enjoying my time off!  I organized the nursery, put the crib in the mattress, got the changing table up and some other small projects done.  Week 19 brought on fatigue and it is still here at week 20 so that factors into my desire for another day off as well!

Anyways, enough about me...What's Up?  Vent...Celebrate...Share any news from your area...Tell us how your Christmas shopping is coming along...anything!

Good luck! Jame I hope you can get to the bottom of eveything and it's all alright!  

As for me, having the same problem as everyone else, sleepin *****!  It's better the the first time I was pregnant though, I've gotten a lot better sleeping on my sides then before.  The big issue this time is we live in Hawaii and not DC, it's a lot warmer all the time and I can't stand for DH to touch me while we sleep, it just makes me way to hot and umcomfy!  He HATES it and just wants to cuddle, I really do to but just can't.  I try before I start to fall asleep but it's not enough for him.  Oh well, just a couple more months...

The holiday was really good, it's gotten easier to be away from family for the holidays, all I need is DH and DD and I'm good.  We have a little less then 2 weeks until we move into our new house.  The navy is giving us a new house because we are having another baby, # of kids = # of bedrooms.  All of the housing out here has been redone so everyone chooses to live in base housing instead of out in town, so the only thing that we could get is the new stuff that won't be done until next week.  As you can tell, I'm really upset we get double the square footage and a brand new house :)  The only thing is we have to move ourselves and only have 4 days to do it...that's the part that really does suck, especially for DH.  I'll be 23 weeks by then and won't be able to help that much.  Today we had our pre inspection and they said all we have to worry about with the place we are in now is cleaning, we got pregnant two weeks after we got here an knew we were going to move when our lease was up so we didn't do anything to this place.  Didn't paint, and didn't put anything up on the walls.  It should be fun moving....

Also, MIL will be here the day we turn in our keys, she'll be here for a month!  It will be nice though DD doesn't get to see that much family.  So I'm just trying to get thing ready for moving, don't have much I can do until the final days thought and MIL will be here and she doesn't like to just sit around much so I'm trying to do as much of that as I can because she's not going to let me once she's here.

I'm sorry to hear about eveyone's bad day and I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight and have a better day tomorrow!!!

It could just be a a whole slew of things...the recent engagement...the awkward moment...sometimes it can all build up and be a lot to handle...for men at least!

Update us...I hope all is well!

I am not sure...we never really argued! We had an awkward moment that had to do with sex lol but I didn't think it was a big deal. He seemed to be joking all last night...then this morning we woke up and bam! Cold shoulder to the max! Completely ignoring me and everything. I have texted him a few times but no answer...I'm really wondering what it is that I did! So far my day hasn't been too exciting..I'm getting off work in about 45 minutes so hopefully he'll be home when I get there and we can just move past whatever this is!

I had a terrible time sleeping last night and this morning.  Had a constant crampy, gassy feeling all around my tummy.  I tried to sleep thru most of it, so I couldn't tell ya if they came and went regularly (i.e. BH or reg. contractions).  It was just so uncomfortable.  I pretty much was rolling over (what seemed like) every 30 minutes or so, trying to find a comfy spot.  Also, yesterday and today I've woken up slightly nauseous ... fun fun.  

Otherwise, my Turkey Day went fantastic ... just DH and I.  I made my own mashed potatoes for the first time ever ...and now I fear that b/c they were so good, we'll never go back to instant again!!  lol

Did my baby shower by mail on Sunday ... got a lot of cute clothes and a few other things.  I'm just worried that we won't have enough money to get the rest of the stuff we need (place for him to sleep, carseat to get him home, diapers, etc etc).  So I'm searching my Freecycle site to see if anyone has some of those things that they're lookin' to give away.  *fingers crossed*

Otherwise, just sitting here ...still tired ...slightly uncomfortable ...and not looking forward to doing dishes or laundry that needs to be done.  *sigh*

Well I am playing the waiting game - just waiting to see when my son is going to arrive. 39 weeks 2 days pregnant here - and I have been having contractions and losing my mucous plug.  Just waiting for something to happen.  I wish we had little buttons on our stomaches that pop up when the kid is ready to come out of the oven (like the little red buttons on the turkeys) so that we know when to go to the hospital and I don't have to keep asking myself, "Is this it?"

BTW Griggsy - what is frog eyed salad? I have never heard of it...

I completly understand the not sleeping good. I finally got every pillow in the house and tried each one out through out the night switching them around and seeing which ones were comfortable. Last night I finally found the two the work. It just so happens to be DH pillow, and my pillow. He can pick from the remaining 15 pillows to make up for the one I stole! LOL!!!!

I just got back to work after a week off work. It was a stressful vacation as I had my inlaws here for a solid week. I love them dearly, but a whole week was a long, long time to have company. It rained for three days straight and there isn't much sight seeing to do in the rain. We were going to take them to Tombstone, but the rain killed that, so we went north to Bison Ranch and the ranch stopped that as well. If we went all the way there we would have hit snow.

Thanksgiving was great, a full day of baking, peeling, boiling, mashing and eating. It was fabulous! I made the best Frog Eyed Salad. Holidays are not complete without the Frog Eyed!

Well my day has been fantastic!!!  I got a fantastic raise (retroactive to september), got my 12 week ultrasound appointment booked and there's no snow yet (and we are in northern canada)!!!!  

The only thing that I need to happen now is get my first ultrasound booked....  The machine is gone for a month as of december 3rd and I still haven't had an ultrasound for dating purposes.... looks like I'll be driving 2.5 hours somewhere for that....

I am a little worried that my in-laws have found out I'm pregnant (as they are at my house right now) and I'm not sure if the doctors office phoned there and left a message... and if they left a message, how detailed it was.....

ugh...  so I haven't been sleeping well.  I am having horrid dreams, and swear I am hearing people run in and out of my room, which is making me wke up every 25 minutes freaking out!!!  In ton's of pain to top that matter.  Then when I finally went to sleep this morning after hubby left for work got n hour, and my son and daughter come running in at 5 am, screaming and jump in my bed, and I can't lift them or anything, so I was kind of stuck trying to get out of bed.  ugh....  

Had my u/s, monitoring, and an appt....  Baby is fine, spleen is fine, cervix is fine, in cr ap loads of pain though.  Can't do anything about it.  hahaha  yay....

Got home, had to make 10 appts...  been throwing up, and it's not good since they said throwing up after stomach surgery can rip stitches, how reassuring...  

so i'm tired, in pain, moody, hungry, not feeling good....  ahaha

This seems like the place for me to vent...
2 weeks ago, we had the water filter in our fridge break and flood the basement and the entire main floor.  The basement is empty so no big deal but the main floor was all hard wood flooring.  We lost the cabinets, counters, floors in the kitchen, living room, dining room, front room and hallway and the bottom 2 feet of drywall on the exterior walls. Silver lining is home insurance - it is a $42,000 claim so far.  We are in a hotel with our cat, dog and 7 yr.old daughter.  The contractor today said that he is doing his best to get us back in the house by christmas!  Seriously - christmas?  I cannot stand the hotel for the next 3 weeks...
I am just feeling a bit sorry for myself - 9 weeks pregnant and heading to an ultrasound appt. today at 1:30. I hope something goes our way...

Oh and I have two pet rats...one of them lost half it weight, half its hair, and has gone blind in the past couple of days...so I'm guessing he's going to die in the next few days...:( He's breathing funny too and making little noises..I feel bad for him. I seperated him from the other one so he wouldn't pick on him anymore and put him in a nice cozier cage. Hopefully he's comfy when he goes...

I'm in my 20th week and I'm not sleeping well already.  I don't know for some reason I keep waking up every hour on the hour and then like three or four times within the hour.  I guess it could be stress because I am dealing with a lot of that lately..  I hate mondays I so wanted to sleep in this morning.  I can't wait until I get to the point where I can just take some time off and atleast lay around like a bump on a log..

oh man...this morning is horrible...my fiancee is giving me the cold shoulder! He hasn't said one word to me since like 6 oclock yesterday. Yesterday it seemed like a game...trying not to talk or something because he would nod and smile and kiss me but this morning he didn't even say goodbye to me when I woke up while he was getting ready for work...and I was standing in front of him when he left and still nothing..and it struck me hard this morning since I didnt sleep that well. So I got in the shower and I was crying (bit emotionally) and then the water turned cold...and I cried harder like "why me?" lol...And now I am at work! So far my day pretty much just blows!

I had a good holiday though and my cousin found out shes pregnant on Thanksgiving with her 2nd! Were all hoping for a girl this time around! Congrats to her...even though I am a bit jealous...*sigh* oh well...have a good week everyone...

Well...Moody monday it is because I'm back at work! ARGH!  Great long weekend though.
I'm feeling ok otherwise...I'm almost 6 weeks (I know its not much) but still not feeling many symptoms besides sore bbs, which I guess its fine, I just hope that if I get morning sickness it wont be next week when I'm flying to the Bahamas...which seems like that's going to be my luck.
*sigh* back to work :(

I too think Monday's come WAY too fast. I am in my 33rd week and tired ALL the time b.c I am not sleeping well..

We (Jaxson's Father & I) moved in together over the holiday which has been great, stressful, and awful all at the same time... HUGE blowout on Thanksgiving, but the past couple of days have been much better. We start birthing classes tonight so I am nervous and excited about that.. I think the stress of moving and being 6 weeks from the due date is not helping an already badly bruised relationship.. It's all a work in progress, I Guess...

I can't wait until I can start my maternity leave!!! (1-9-09).. 5 weeks (unless I feel great miraculously!)

Happy Monday all..

I'm exhausted.  I spent Thanksgiving in NJ with my family after we ate dinner with my DH family in MD.  The drive home is always nuts on Thanksgiving weekend, and it took an additional 2 hours to get home.  It took us 3 hours to just get to the DE bridge.  I'm so tired, but DH and I BD'd (I'm soon to O day) and then I had to wake up at 6:00 am to take an ice cold shower (something is wrong with my hot water in the morning) and then drive to work for a state audit which none of my cases have been picked, and I'm stuck under the vent in my office cubicle all day long.  Is it 4:15 yet?
