Does anyone remember my girl from Open Letters that basically live Facebooked her daughters birth this weekend? She's posted 11,327 pictures today, and they've gone a little something like this: 

 *"Waiting to be told we can go home!" 

*"In our car seat, ready to go home!" 

*"In the car, on our way home!" 

*"We're home!" 

*First time sitting on the couch at home!" 

*"First diaper change at home!"  

Am I just overly bitchy today, or is that really, really annoying and excessive to share with all 500 of your FB friends? Do we really need to see your new baby on the changing table with a dirty diaper? I get she's excited, but come on, man.

Forget that no one gives a shit for a minute, I don't get how anyone has enough TIME to FB their lives in that much detail, let alone someone with a newborn!

And who TAKES A BREAK in the middle of a diaper change to snap a shot, and post to Facebook?

I just cannot take my annoying co-workers anymore, my patience is paper thin and I'm ready to explode.  I think there should be two phases of maternity leave....the portion once LO is here to recover and bond, and the month or so before hand so you don't go on a homicidal rampage because of annoying people.

This is completely how I feel about work. I am SO mentally done, and have six weeks until my due date. I was thinking I'd work up until then, but now I'm starting to think I'll start my leave at least a week before. People are making me crazy, and I Just.Don't.Care!

My doctor wants me to continue testing my blood sugar even though I have not had a bad number once. Not once. I don't have GD, I have hypoglycemia and I've made it my whole life keeping my blood sugar high enough.

I'm sick of poking my hand no less than 3-4 times in the four times minimum I have to test my levels an hour after I eat. I'm sick of setting timers to remind me to test. It's really pointless it seems especially since they won't give me an answer as to why I need to keep testing. I'm so annoyed!!

So excited about bfest Monday this week. Need this.
I have an ear infection and it hurts and keeps leaking all over my face and I've been on antibiotics for like 3 weeks for two different things and someone at church told me that antibiotics while pregnant make your child's teeth gray. What? Ok. Then I'll have bronchitis again, let it turn into pneumonia from NOT taking antibiotics, and then we'll see what's more important. Dead baby or gray teeth. And what pisses me off is that adults hardly ever get ear infections so DH is treating me like I'm a drama queen. Let me stab you in the ear and see how you feel.

I can't handle any more 31-32 weeks along women bitching about discomfort and wondering when their babies will come. I felt like a freaking ROCKSTAR at 31 weeks compared to what I feel like now (36 weeks 6 days). STOP. COMPLAINING.

To be fair, I complained quite a bit at 31/32 - but the heartburn was EXCESSIVE and my doc wouldn't let me start Prilosec yet.  Now that I'm on it and actually sleeping and eating and drinking water again, am I still uncomfortable?  Sure.  But not to the point where I am begging for help.  Everyone's pregnancy is different - but I get what you're saying.

That is a legitimate complaint IMO. Heartburn freaking sucks. I just can't handle the "I'm so uncomfortable, will she be born soon?" BS.

I can't handle the "when will they be born" shit either. Am I the only one who was told that pregnancy lasts 40 WEEKS!! Why are so many women walking around thinking 30 weeks + means full fucking term! Arg!!!!!!

Damn I choose wrong all day apparently! So waiting since everything seemed fine and baby was moving. After my fall for my appointment later in the day apparently not the right answer- my doctor yelled at me that my baby could've died ( not appropriate for a women who has had losses) and now I'm at the hospital for four hours to be monitored - but everything is ok she thinks.

Second I got scolded for not getting the blood work done. - I saw that one coming though even though when she wrote the script she didn't seem to care to much and said the results wouldn't be in before I delivered. Bah!

Ok, I have another bitch - winter (original, I know).

I am being thrown two baby showers this weekend (one by friends on Saturday and one by my family on Sunday) and I'm guessing they're both going to be cancelled because of the snow we're supposed to get on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The majority of the guests for each are from out of town, as is the planner of both showers. And we have no snow date because I'm away the next weekend. I'm so pissed. I am going to be so disappointed if it snows. I'm already feeling super down about it.

Tomorrow is my last work trip to see a client. It's going to be awful connecting flights both there and back. Now I'm hearing there's going to be a snowstorm at the client, our connecting flights there are already cancelled and rerouted, and there's a pretty damn good chance I will be stuck in the other city tomorrow night. I asked the client if we should resched or do remote meeting, and nope he wants us to come! This is going to suuuuuck

I have the worst sinus infection. I am nothing but a whiny bitchy brat and I hate myself. All I want to do is swallow a cup of NyQuil and go to sleep until it passes. I won't but I want to. My doc did call in a z-pack for me so I pray I feel better soon.

AnonymousMotherOfOne

Fuck winter, fuck being sick, and fuck having body pains that have nothing to do with pregnancy. And fuck my husband's friend for distracting him for more than three hours while I was curled up in the fetal position, crying bitter tears of agony (AGAIN) because my damn hip hurts and there's nothing I can do about it. I am fond of this word today, even though I am normally quite a bit more eloquent than this. FUCK IT. I'm hurting. I'll say it as much as I want. I don't care if MH keeps giving me dirty looks over it. >:(

I hate RLS! It never fails... Every night when I climb into bed, I feel like my legs are on pins and needles and the only things that help are 1) massage or 2) constant motion. H is asleep, but if this continues much longer, I'm waking his ass up!

This weekend, I finally got MH to help me put together the crib. It's a Graco from Amazon. We opened the box, and there were no instructions. I googled like crazy and eventually found the instructions online. By that time, we were both cranky, and nuts and bolts were difficult to put together as it was. We didn't finish it before we had to go to dinner with friends. So of course, when we go back to it tonight, we find the instructions attached to the one piece we hadn't unwrapped yet. Rar!

Omg @amholley1!!!

Poor you, poor tootsies!! Big hugs.

Was it the graco lauren? Same thing happened to us sort of. We looked in the box that said instructions in here, but they weren't so I googled for 20 minutes. Then we found them in with the metal mattress holder, which to be fair also said instructions in here. Funny part is I emailed them on Friday and still havent heard back.

No, it was the sarah, but the instructions were in the same place. I also emailed them and haven't heard back yet. How funny that this happened to two of us!

Agreed - I went through a REALLY rough patch at 32/33 weeks.  Couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, HB was making me absolutely miserable 24 hrs of the day...  I seemed to have turned a corner though and am feeling MUCH better.  My energy is back, I'm eating and sleeping again.  But man, those couple of weeks were depressing and I was thinking I couldn't do it for 7 or 8 more weeks.  Everyone is different.

@PinupMomma08 thank you!! They are a little out of control haha. I tell my husband all the time they look like little sausages.

I know it's not BFM anymore, but the people who work at my insurance company are IDIOTS... when I called to ask how to order a breast pump last month, THAT would have been the appropriate time to mention "oh, we don't have any record of your pregnancy" (new insurance in January.) Yet somehow you knew to send me a "pregnancy packet?" And every time I call I can tell that whoever I am on the phone with just wants to make something up to get me off the phone so they don't have to deal with me. ugh...
