Less than 14 weeks to go...
I think I like the idea of counting down instead of up, now that I have passed that invisible line that makes the numbers feel better. Whatever. So, random things:
- A lady backed into my car at work tonight. I won’t even be able to see the damage until 7 a.m. so I am not going to stress. Already filed the police report and everything.
- I may have just bought “Oh Girl” Aden + Anais swaddle blankets for my son. The pattern has a little bit of pink incorporated into it but it somewhat subtle and the difference was $35 or $20 for 4 blankets. Pink, please.
- He wiggles SO MUCH now. It’s awesome, except he still calms down when Aaron puts his hand on my stomach, so this morning when he wouldn’t get still while I was trying to sleep, I pulled Aaron’s hand onto my belly and I was able to fall asleep in like 5 minutes.
- My mother-in-law has declared that she and her sister will be throwing a baby shower ‘sometime in June.’ I will be 36+ weeks at that point. I will have bought everything I need by then. I will not want to be the center of attention at an annoying all-women thing while it’s hot as balls and nothing fits. I told her this in the most polite manner I could. She blew me off. I’m now on the “I don’t want a baby shower and you can’t make me” train. Not to mention, that trying to force me to wait until the last minute to buy the things I need but didn’t get from a baby shower would be financially devastating. I bought all my major items. I need necessities at this point. Clothing, toiletries, cloth diapers. Things that would have to be bought as soon as he was here and that would be expensive to go out and buy all at once. I need more than a couple of weeks to spread that out. And no, telling me that I should just save the money and buy things at the end is not going to work. I am shit at saving money. I am great at buying things slowly over time.
- Thank you to the lady at work for being the first person not to scoff when I say that I will be using cloth diapers. Her response was that she cloth diapered all six (SIX?!) of her kids. Not sure you could afford that many kids any other way, but still, awesome!
- I’ve got like a week left until my GD test at the next doctor’s appointment. Weight gain hasn’t been terrible, I feel like this is the most in-check my PCOS has ever been, with zero effort from me. Maybe he’s soaking up all the excess androgens? I don’t know.
I’m in full on bitch mode. I actually get snarky with my in-laws at this point. I have caused my husband to be rude to his own parents at this point. I feel awful, but I’m also kind of in sorry-not-sorry mode.
