Wed - Raves & Rants
So this rant is about my previously mentioned 16 year old pregnant thunder stealing cousin.
Her baby shower was May 30th (two weeks ago) - she had a great day and I'm seriously 100% happy for her that she got the things she needed for her baby and that everything went well and that she was the Princess for the day. I would never take that away from her even though I do not condone the situation. It was kind of sad in the fact that you could tell her age, after every present she opened (if it wasn't something COMPLETELY obvious, like a tub, or clothing) she looked to her mother to find out what you use it for. But in any regards she had a great day and I'm happy for that.
Now my rant. My baby shower is this Saturday and I'm absolutely estatic and can hardly sleep. My mother has worked her butt off preparing for this and has done it completely on her own - no help from anyone, except very little help from Drew's Godmom - who lives 2 1/2 hours away. So anyways - we get a call yesterday that they are taking Hayli to the ER. She went to the doctors the other day and discovered she had a UTI. The doctor gave her a prescription and sent her on her way. She took two doses and developed a high fever and her heart began racing. Her mother read the side effects and it said "not for use by women who are 35 weeks or more pregnant." Hayli is 36 weeks. So they took her to the ER. Last night we get a call that Hayli has a blockage from her kidneys to her bladder and that the baby is actually resting on the tube that connects the two and that is what is causing the blockage. So if the baby doesn't move by Friday - Hayli had the choice of a C-Section on Saturday or Sunday - yep she chose Saturday (because one of her friends birthday is June 13th.) I've never been more preturbed. So if she has a C-section on Saturday - there goes about 6-7 people from my baby shower - again taking away from my pregnancy which has been happening the entire time.
I know my baby shower is going to be amazing regardless of whether those 6-7 people are there or not - our guestlist is almost 50 and the most important people will be there. But it's just the fact that she KNEW it was MY day and still chose it. Know what I mean?
So my rave is that my baby shower is this weekend and even though I have tons of things to do - I managed to find the perfect little sundress and things are coming along perfectly. Drew is doing wonderful and progessing ahead of schedule. Andy got a new job and things are finally starting to come together. Life is overall good.

I am sorry that you are still having to deal with that. Hopefully the baby moves in the next few days so she doesn't take away from your day.
My rant. I am soooo freaking tired and have no idea why?? The last two days I have started to fall asleep at my desk! This morning I put Dove body wash in my hair instead of on my body, thinking it was conditioner. Then I was putting some raisin bran in a baggy and went to put the box of cereal back with all of my spice, complete opposite side of the kitchen. Driving to work this morning I was so dazed. I had to really think about the way I was driving. I have been extra cautious and second guess myself at driving ever since my car accident in January, but this morning I had to ask myself if it was okay to drive through a green light and had to look about ten times to make sure it was in fact green. I could use a nap right about now and I just woke up 2 hours ago. Oy vey!!
Oh yeah and I am still so sad that not all of my clothes fit :( My body has shifted so much after being pregnant. I don't like it at all. None of my pants fit right and my stomach is gross and you can see if through most of my shirts. It makes me sick to my stomach.

I'm hoping she will move as well, but it's out of my control that's for sure.
As for your overly cautious driving. I did the same thing after my first accident. I actually wouldn't drive for about two months and after I got back behind the wheel - I was like an old lady who could hardly see over the steering wheel. I was so scared that I was going to crash again. It will take time but it'll all come back to you.
As for your clothes - I'm sure you're being a lot harder on yourself than you should be. You just had a baby less than a year ago - give yourself some slack. You'll get to where you want to be - it may take some extra effort, but you will be able to do it.

I haven't. I tested sooo much last month because I went all the way to CD43. It was crazy. My normal average is 34. DH asked me the same thing this morning. I told him I will wait a little longer cause it gets expensive to be addicted to POAS and can be stressful.

Really? Really, you're pissed off at your cousin because she's facing an emergency c-section? She may be 16 and be acting a fool, but who is acting like a bigger fool in this situation? Um, that would be you.
You need to read your rant back to yourself when you calm the eff down to see how stupid that sounds.
How rude of your cousin not to put your baby shower before the welfare of her child and herself.

I did read my rant back to myself and still stick by it. If you think I'm fool - so be it.
Who said that her C-Section was an emergency? Obviously it's not if she was given the choice of what day she wanted her child born. If it was an emergency, they would schedule it for Friday when they find out if the baby is still sitting on the tube. And if it was a REAL emergency - they would've done the C-Section yesterday when she went to the ER and they found out that the baby was, where she was. But instead they are giving the baby time to move on her own. The baby is not in any risk. So I'm not sure where you came up with it being an emergency. If it was - my rant wouldn't exist. Repeating what you said - she is 16 and acting a fool but if she or the baby was in danger - I would never hold that against her. You may not know me from a hole in the wall, but insinuating that I am that kind of person is pretty offensive. But it's the internet - I'll take it as is.
And if you re-read my rant - it's more about her scheduling it on my baby shower because it's her friends birthday, not much of anything else.
And I'm sorry that I am upset that I've been shoved to the back my entire pregnancy because of her pregnancy at 16 because she decided not to take her BC because she gained 5lbs from it, her trips to the ER because she refused to take her prenatals because they made her stomach upset, among other situations - and just want to be able to enjoy my day like she was able to enjoy hers.
