Inspired by being a thread highjacker- the OT thread!

oops..duplicate post

 

[Stacerita]

No taco breath for me after all. We ordered out pizza. Pizza breath all the way!

 

[Stacerita]

OK, so I recently started watching Grey's Anatomy, and Im hooked. I went out and rented the entire season to watch today. Ugh, I need to get a life.

 

[Stacerita]

I started my diet yesterday and I am starving!! Ugh, why couldn't chubby be hot?

 

[beckmrk04]

Are you ladies letting my thread die?

OK- just got out of the hospital for the 4th time today. They have me on home health care. I had to move to my mom's house since I can't be home by myself and I need help with the IV care stuff.

This has not been an enjoyable pregnancy. BUT- everyone says it will all be worth it.

Hey Becky! I was asking about your just the other day...someone started a thread on long lost DISers and I asked Aidensmom if anyone had seen you around.

I am glad to see you are okay, sorry to see that it has been so rough. Is it getting any better? How's life at mom's house??

I will verify that we have indeed been worried!

Becky, I am so sorry, and believe me, I feel for you! I lived alone when I got put on bedrest (yeah, I know ), and my now DH had to move in with me to take care of me, but he worked about 12 hours a day, and I was not supposed to get up to do anything! I lived in a second floor apt, and had a dog, who very quickly had to learn to go take himself for a walk. I am so glad you have someone to take care of you. Believe me, it is all worth it!

We'd never let your thread die Beck. Sorry you been so sick. Its got to be tough to be so sick and all. But it will be worth it. And hopefully living at your mom's house won't put extra stress on you. You're in our thoughts and prayers. Hope you will join us in the thread every now and then. Take care Beck!!

Hey everyone, Becky, it is good to hear from you, I've been worried!

 

[beckmrk04]

Thread killers, all of you.

Oh well.

Well- I am halfway back to semi-normal. I am weaning off the IVs and medicine pumps and all the other crazy stuff I was hooked up to. And I am actually starting to feel better!!!

I have started coming home on the weekends, and I have 2 Dr. appts. tomorrow, and if they take me off of everything, I'm moving back home!!!

This pregnancy up until now has been miserable- and even that word doesn't cover it. BUT, I am starting to get re-excited about it now that I am actually feeling better.

I'm not really showing yet- I lost so much weight in the 1st 3 months that all of my regular clothes are baggier on me now than before I got pregnant. But- I can feel my belly starting to push out. Next Sunday I will be 4 months, and every milestone I hit is exciting, because it's closer to getting this baby out and getting my body back. Sort of, anyway. I'll just be glad when I can eat normally my smell returns to "human" instead of "bloodhound."

you've started to come home on weekends, does that mean that you're in the hospital during the week?

 

[beckmrk04]

No- I haven't been in the hospital since mid August.

I have been living at my mom's house because I had to have someone with me at all times, and since DH works evenings, I was home by myself. And I was too sick to take care of myself, sadly.

So, now I am living at Mom's through the week and coming home to my house on the weekend, since DH has weekends off.

But hopefully after I go to the doc tomorrow, I'll be able to return home full-time. I may still have to have home health care nurses come see me, but that's ok. I'm not hooked up to a million things anymore.

Hi, Becky! Good to hear from you! And so glad you are starting to feel better...I knocked on my wooden coffee table, so as not to jinx you. I forgot when you're due. When?



I swear to God I was going to revive this thread tonight to let everyone know that I had a dream that I was at WDW, in the Grand Floridian and I was pissed off because I had to leave, because Bob Barker had died. I didn't care about Bob Barker, I wanted to stay.

In my dream there were little white picket fences in the GF hotel room.

It isn't interesting, but I just had to post it. And there is no other thread but the OT thread to post it on.

Yea, OT!

 

[ktpool]

Yippee! We're back

So, were you going to Bob Barker's funeral or was it like a mass day of mourning?

 

[Cool-Beans]

No flippin clue. All I know is that I had to leave because Bob died. And I was not happy.

Woke up this morning and remembered it and thought maybe it was a psychic dream...like old Bob had really died and I was in touch with the spirits...searched the internet, but it seems he's alive and well and still Plinko-ing.

What is everyone else up to???

 

[Stacerita]

Thank goodness my peeps are back!!! I too was thinking of reviving this thread, but never got around too it. Yeah, I'm a procrastinator.

Glad to hear you are feeling better Beck. I think about you and say a little prayer all the time for you and the baby. Its got to be rough. But it will be worth it.

Bob Barker Cool-Beans???? WTH!!! The only thing I could think while reading your post was Happy Gilmore getting into it with Bob Barker. Good times, good times.

So what I have I been up to? Tons! My life basically still stinks though. My purse got stolen, my account got wiped out, still trying to deal with the bank and getting my life back in order. Every day is something new with that. Still have to replace things that were stolen. The sweetpea got hurt last week at softball warmups for the tournament. Another trip to the ER and with stitches. Long story short about that.....we ended up having to pull her from the softball season without her even playing one game. She was heartbroken. I was up for a promotion at work, but didn't get it. My car is probably gonna die on me soon. I'm still single. It didn't work out with the guy from my best friends wedding. I can't seem to lose weight no matter what I do. And I can't get "Sexy Back" out of my mind. So yeah, it stinks.

Good news though is that my trip to WDW is just around the corner.

What about yall?

 

[beckmrk04]

Hi ladies. And occasional gent.

I hope someone is still awake.

I'm crabby and bored. BUT- I'm at home again!! Yippee!!!

CB- I'm due March 4. I'm hoping for February, though. We'll see. Less than two weeks and I'll find out what this kid is. I can't wait. I just want to know. I still am not really showing (I'll be 16 weeks on Sunday). No maternity clothes yet. Can't feel the baby yet, either. Should be soon, though. I haven't gained any weight- but I haven't lost any more either, so that's good.

I am feeling SOOOOOO much better. After 4 hospital stays and surgery and being fed through a tube in my chest and having a medicine pump in my stomach.... OY. It's all becoming a fuzzy horrible memory.

 

[beckmrk04]

Also, I'm currently doing laundry at 11 pm because my goofball dog climbs onto our bed and LICKS my pillow and my dh's pillow until they are soaking wet. WTH is that all about? Do our heads taste good? SO weird.

AND- I'm annoyed with my sis's roommate. Here's a vent- since I'm crabby anyway.

Roommate got a chocolate lab (6 months old) from a backyard breeder. This dog had never been inside. ALready a bad idea. The roommate owns the house my sis lives in and pays the majority of bills, so my sis basically had no say in whether or not to get the dog (my sister HATES pets and would never have one if it was her choice).

SO anyway- roomie brings this dog home- it's all cute and wonderful, but having a hard time with housebreaking, which is understandable. The thing is, neither roomie nor my sis are EVER at home. NO time for a dog, whatsoever. SO my sis ends up cleaning up dog messes every day when she gets home from work because no one had let the dog out. Then the dog gets destructive. It's a lab- they CHEW. A LOT. And if you don't correct them or train them or give them alternatives, the dog doesn't know the difference between his bone and, say the couch, or the wall, or most recently, a 6 foot patch of linoleum in the kitchen.

Now, over the last 3-4 months, I have suggested obedience classes, and lots of exercise and Nylabones/Kongs, as well as crate training (all of these things have helped me have a great dog). I even offered them my extra crate to use. But roomie thinks it's mean to crate a dog. SO- it eats their house and all their belongings UNTIL today.

Finally, she gets so fed up with her "dumb" dog that she's getting rid of it.

I just want to shake her. You don't get a dog if you don't have time and don't know wth you are doing. You HAVE to train them to be good- it's not automatic. It's a DOG! Crate training isn't mean- it keeps dogs from ruining things and ending up in the Humane Society where it will likely be euthanized because people don't know what they are doing and blame everything bad that the dog does on the dog- but if the dog were properly trained and cared for,most likely it wouldn't be a bad dog.

AAARRRGH.

I would take that dog if I had more room and if I weren't getting ready to have a baby. It just drives me mad. All of the things that are being blamed on the dog are it's owner's fault. Grrrr.

 

[Stacerita]

Some people just shouldn't be pet owners. Everyone likes a pet, but very few know how to take care of pets. Its sad.

Glad to see you are home Beck!!

 

[beckmrk04]

Glad to be home. Life is slowly returning to somewhat normal.

I get to have my catheter removed from my chest, so that's exciting. Still going to my OB for weekly check-ups.

Now that I'm home, I'm back to bored. I can't work, and so it's back to staying at home and trying to figure out what to do with myself.
