Week 34's OB check was yesterday. I'm now up to a grand total of 24 pounds gained this pregnancy. BP, HR and UA were all fine, and the kaiju's HR was in the 150's. He was also moving around a lot, to the point we could see my abdomen wiggling and moving around. Still with the tired and laundry list of physical aches and annoyances. Nothing out of

*hugs* I just get so tired of their crap sometimes. Not even on my behalf, which I really should, but for thekids. We're buildng a warmer family evironment than what grew up in, and I don't want them spoiling it.

The big question of whether it's better to just cut ties or hang on to whatever good there is is one I haven't figured out an answer to. I read something this week that I've been thinking about, which was that if a person was talking about a boyfriend being toxic and hurtful, the advice would be totally different than it is when it's a parent being poisonous.

I think it's that people assume parents have your best interest at heart. I'm sure it's what she tells herself, too. But if someone completely discounts what you value, it's not a healthy relationship. At this point I keep up minimal contact, calling every few weeks or a rare e-mail. I really don't care what she thinks of me at this point, which is very freeing. :)
