Monday Bitchfest

We had crazy intense storms through the night that knocked the power out around 1. I could barely sleep from all the thunder and lightening, and the dog losing his shit (literally) over it. Woke up in a pool of sweat at 4, took an ice cold shower with candle light. Ran into work to dry my hair and hopefully not look like I got ready in the dark.. Just as I finished my hair and made it to my lab, I got a notice from my power company that power had been restored. X(

Sorry Max, that sucks

I think I'm having hot flashes. Not loving them.

^^This is gonna be me trying to train the temp today...

I was going to bitch about my son getting up at 5:20 because, wtf!!! But given there are already two people on here up at 4 I feel bad doing so. Sorry for the early wake-ups ladies!

I would like to complain about potty training though because this sucks!! We are stuck at home and I really can't stand having to watch my child every second to see if he's peed/peeing in the floor instead of telling me he has to go.

1. We had bad storms last night that woke up DS twice. Then we got some alerts on our phone to let us know there was a flash flood. So tired today.

2. I am so tired of working out. I just want to be a normal pg lady and sit on the couch but with GD I have to walk after breakfast and get my sweat on at the gym.

3. My DH has had a back issue for a month now. He's gone to the dr and to a chiro but it still hurts. My sympathy is at less than zero. I know he is trying to get better but I irrationally blame him.

AnyMax

@katalina86‌ #2? I freaking hear ya, lady!

@hizah05‌ Not cool. Go back to sleep kid!!
I have enough sympathy today for anyone up before 6. After that, boofreakinghoo haha

kmbk27

So, we went to SOs parents' last night, and I swear everything his mom said was condescending. I think "what are you going to do with the baby - you know you can't just leave him at home..." when talking about me going back to work took the cake. Then she tried to argue that daycares won't take babies at 6 weeks, so I listed of the million I have looked at who do. JFC.

#2- I apologize in advance as this may come off snobby or insensitive, but blame it on the hormones... I feel like my patience is wearing thin on this board over the past week or two. I'm so tired of opening threads that are like "My belly is getting bigger because there is a baby growing in there- is this happening to anyone else?" Also, please trust that I sympathize for anyone having to deal with PTL or other complications right now, but I just find it strange for people's first or second post to be to ask for T&P from a group of strangers. I know how phenomenally supportive this group of women can be, but I know that because I've been a part of the group for awhile now. I, personally, just wouldn't choose to reach out to a group of people I've never spoken to before. Seems like a bit of an AW to me. Again, sorry for my insensitivity, I just have very little patience these days.

Yup. People can certainly join in at any point but the random AWing is bizarre and irritating. If you've chosen to not be an active part of this group, well damnit stick to your decision. Don't be upset when nobody reads or comments on your birth story, either. Randos.

I slept like crap last night and it's Monday... enough said.

If I reply at all to these, it will probably be with one of the following:

My belly hurts, it's heavy, carrying approximately 9lbs of babies, and I just want to stay in bed forever. Then the damn dog wakes up the whole house barking like a crazy rabid animal at 6. I go to check on him..... Nothing. Nada. No reason to bark other than being an asshole. Doesn't he know it's nearly impossible to roll out of the bed these days!!!

Djcieply

DH has this weird thing that if the AC is off then he turns off all the fans in the house. It annoys the crap out of me because I like air movement whether the AC is on or off(I have also told him this numerous times). Well I fell asleep on the couch last night and he turned the AC and all the fans off, I woke up in a pool of sweat at 1am. I'm getting ready to go buy my own personal fan that blows on me and if he try's to touch it I chop off his hands.

@mrsdanielleM2010‌ Add this one to the stock pile

@LTMama I've also entered the hot flash stage...I wake up in a sweaty mess all the time.

My Monday complaint: I keep waking up with a sinus headache. I already feel like I take so much medicine for this pregnancy, I just don't want to add in something else to take. Also, I know modified bed rest is for the best until we get farther along, but my back and hips are already suffering just after 4 days on the couch. Thinking I may have to figure out something else for the new 3 weeks on how to sit/lay.

nilvero

I slept wrong and now my back and shoulders hurt horribly! But I'm still tired and can barely keep my eyes open!

Oh and yes to the randos. Welcome to the board but there were so many repetitive posts this weekend! Made me glad in a way that my app was being dumb and not loading as it should have been this weekend!

AnyMax

@suitern‌ I don't know if it is okay for you to use with being on bed rest, but would also sitting on an exercise ball a little here and there be an option?

My kids won't stop arguing and it's not even 8 here!!!! My patience is starting to wear thin these days!

ashleyb1114

I'm so tired of my body not letting me sleep until at least 11 pm (although it's usually more like 1 AM), waking up by 5 for work, getting home at 6PM to take care of the baby and having to cook shortly after and then repeating the cycle again. I know my husband is excited about starting this business, but I am so exhausted. On top if that, since his accident I have been pretty much stuck at home so I haven't been able to see my friends unless they stop by or we all go see them. Now that he is walking again, he is not home for more than an hour at a time once I'm home. I miss my husband and I miss my friends.

Also, I have to go see my doctor again next week when I just saw her Friday. Why? Because she says I'm measuring small so she wants to see how big the baby is. Didn't we go through this last time? DD was only 5 lb 10 oz, I am tiny, DH is pretty small. She is going to be freaking small. I'm not getting induced this time unless medically necessary. I already don't have leave, how the hell am I gonna pay my bills when I have to be on leave after the baby and you guys keep making me take more time off for appointments that are most likely unnecessary?

And I forgot to turn my alarms on last night so I was late to work. It is only Monday and I'm ready for next week.

Sorry, I realize that was long. I'm feeling bitchy today.

@AnyMax, I've considered it, but my doula and OB said to stay off of it since sitting on it can open my hips even more to have her drop?? I don't know how accurate that is, I've never used one before this pregnancy.  What I think may be happening is that our couch (or the spot I sit alot) is too squishy and I need something firmer. I am contemplating having DH blow up an air mattress so DS can lay with me on the floor and trying to sit on a firmer spot on the couch!

HVAC broke yesterday and the dresser I re-purposed/painted for the nursery turned into a total disaster. tears were shed yesterday...especially after I burnt the nachos in the oven. 

I'm sorry, I hope today goes better.

My friend made me want nachos yesterday. I went to make them and some smart person in my house had left the damn bad of tortilla chips open so they were so stale. I still have not had nachos I may stop by the grocery store in the way home tonight.

Bummer @Maggrit! I hope the HVAC is an easy fix! Can you fix the dresser or is it not salvagable?

That is exactly the reason why I though it might not be okay for you. Maybe a yoga mat on the floor? Some padding, but firm? I hope you find some relief soon!

1. It's Monday

2. Up at 4 am with legs cramps, I'm so tired. It hurts to stand so I'm still in bed, thank you DD for sleeping late

3. It's Monday. Why do Mondays suck so bad!?

Marchie1214

I haven't slept for the millionth night because of my never ending itching and stabbing kidney pain. I just want to feel normal again. And tacos, I still want them.

brittneyandadam

1) So tired. Need sleep.
2) Go away diarrhea...no one likes you.
3) DH is off today and had a 4 day weekend. And he won't stop reminding me.

Very little sleep last night... my husband has been so stressed about work he was in a horrible mood yesterday. Then to do something fun and relax a bit, we decided to go fly his quadcopter that a little gopro camera attaches to...and the thing malfunctioned, flew itself across the park, across the road, and fell from the sky right into the Mississippi river... $900 totally wasted and we're too broke right now to replace it. But really, it's not even so much the money, I just wish something would go right for him  

And all of this tension has been stressing me out and it makes me concerned for my baby. I just wish things would start looking up. This has been the year from hell (minus our bundle of joy of course!) 

amom2four

Woke up to the lo within having a party at 4:30am. Two hours later, he's still having a blast in there. Me? Not so much. He needs to sleep a little longer so I can sleep and keep up with the other kids. Oh and dd2 got cold in her room so now I have her trying to cuddle also.

Add me to the hip pain train. I could not sleep last night because every position possible hurt my hips. My emotions have been crazy this weekend too. I lost it for about 20 minutes after my 3d ultrasound on Saturday.

Also, I'm going to AW here for a second. My office threw me a surprise baby fiesta today! Complete with TACOS for lunch and a pinata! When I walked in and saw all of the decorations I just started bawling. The ladies in my office are so sweet.

nilvero

@dinodna3‌ how fun! That was really nice of them!

bainidhedub

Yo, work email, it would be really awesome if you gave me messages when they come in, and not 2 hours later. I feel like that would probably help this whole day along.

rebennett06

Hip pain, groin pain, all of it....I feel like there is something stabbing my vagina, my ass is sore so I'm sitting on a donut at work...and having to ice it because my sciatic pain is acting up. I feel like I'm 85 plus I'm exhausted!!!!! THANK GOD I'm going on a quick vacation this weekend. I need the break

Baby Fiesta is now in my top 5 favorite phrases.

DH was on a business trip this week, so I packed up DD for the 3.5 hour trip to my parents' house.  We went to visit an old friend who just had her fourth baby.  DD has been seeing his picture on the fridge for weeks, and she mentions him a few times a week, so I thought it would be fun for her and a nice trial run.

Um, holy shit, I am in trouble.  She went ballistic when I picked him up.  I mean full-on batshit crazy.  She started scream-crying and WOULD NOT STOP.  None of her favorite things helped.  Paci?  Nope.  Elmo?  Nope.  She would only calm down if I put him down and carried her around.  My friends with kids who were there were really nice about it but seemed surprised about how badly she freaked out.

I'm pretty sure I'm toast when this baby gets here.

1.)  GD has made eating like a chore for me.  I don't find it fun to count carbs and having to plan my day around eating and taking my BS.

2.)  Because of said GD, I have been eating more peanut butter and I looked at the jar today and it expired in MARCH!  We just bought it last month.  Yuck!

3.)  I have a hangnail.

Ok I have another bitch, or more like a WTF.

We were at the inlaws for dinner last night and another couple that is friends of the family was there also. DS was sitting next to me and he put his head in my shoulder, the wife of the other couple said "aww is momma your buddy?" to DS and my MIL says "oh no, he's a daddy's boy!" DS shows pretty much equal attention to both of us.

I just had a conversation with MIL the day before about her saying she wants to help me out more. Well after that comment I just stick to the distance I've been keeping lately and handle things on my own like I was planning on.

bainidhedub

umm? TB just let me make a blank post bc I hit the wrong button. I don't even have anything to say right now.
Except it would be nice if the temp I spent last Thurs & Fri freaking out preparing for was actually coming this week...
