Monday Moans

Throw them in here.

I'm still sick. I've pulled a muscle in my side and hurt my back from all my coughing. I literally cannot sleep.  I'm a miserable cow. And I have to go buy more pads because I keep peeing through them. Fuck it all.

mandy903

I fell over the weekend and am so sore! I feel like an old woman! Wish I could fast forward to delivery day. Right now I'm just over being pregnant! ^Sorry you're sick! A hacking cough is the worst!

I ate cooked sushi. .but too much so then I thought I was going into early labour. 10 minutes later I threw the entire contents of my stomach up...mmmmm sushi vomit :-&

Oh..today was wonderful. Also, I was sitting on the sofa in my towel after I'd showered..then I sneezed. Guess what? I left a little pee puddle behind me.

I feel so beautiful and in control of my body today(!)

@SweetnSassy23 Agh! I want to hug you. Feel better pls.

My MM is that I miss my DH so dang hard. We've never been apart for this long and I totally feel like a sad sappy sucker. Blah.

@SweetNSassy23 Come over to the baby shower thread. WE HAVE CAKE!

My Monday moan is that it's Monday. I also want to start my maternity leave now and get until the end of the year. Still trying to find a way to make that happen.

My butt hurts.
I got a prenatal massage and she worked some trigger points in my ass like she was tenderizing meat. (She needed to, don't get me wrong, but OWIE!)

Edit: too, to, two... Words are hard

My hands are so swollen I've had to take off my wedding set and my feet are so swollen my shoes barely fit. I feel so glamorous.

I feel like my pelvis is broken. Every time I stand up, walk, sit down, roll over in bed, bend over, anything...it feels like my pelvis is breaking in two.  (

Dd decided that last night she was going to wake up at 1:30. I went and laid with her and thought she had fallen back to sleep but she was screaming again by 2. I hadn't fallen asleep till 1 myself so at that point I brought her into our bed. She was awake rolling and talking and playing till 4. Then she got up at 7:45 and was asking to get up. I asked her to wait a minute and daddy chimed in with "mommy and daddy are tired wait a minute!"-something a two-year old can't fully understand AND he was snoring so bad last night it took 3 nudges and a kick to get him to stop so he slept some.

I have zero patience for his one-upping today (claiming he didn't sleep because he was having nightmares)

kim1228

To feel better, I suggest we all read the "is it ok to throw your own baby shower" thread. its all about CAKE haha!

It's 3:34am and I'm wide awake and I can't get that Katy perry wide awake song out of my head. I invested in a snoogle (finally... Why did I wait?!) but no position is comfortable right now. Work later today is going to suck.

Sweet Sadie Mae

This was by far the most uncomfortable and miserable weekend ever. I am itching constantly from my neck to my ankles. Nothing gives me relief. I called my OB's office first thing. The nurse told me to go ahead and take benadryl today but it will most likely make me tired. I can't because I'm working and I know I will fall asleep at work. If it's still bad tomorrow (which I'm sure it will be) then I have to call again and probably have more blood work done AGAIN for chloestasis. My last labwork from 2 weeks ago came back fine. I just want relief! All I want to do is cry.

I feel you sister. I can't really even grip my hands at this point because my fingers will get locked in a grip if I go too far with them. Morning and night they ache so bad! I'm falling apart.

I get that, I think it's Soul Asylum?, song stuck in my head- the run away train, never looking back, wrong way on a one way track song... The part that gets stuck in my head is " so tired that I couldn't even sleep. " That's my insomnia anthem.

I'll look that one up, I need some variety for my insomnia anthems ha. Maybe I'll go do something productive. Or eat something. Yeah, I'll probably go eat something.

J1D

@OperaSingerMommy I too suffer from insom- nom-nom-nia and guarantee a few of these pregnancy pounds are from eating at night cause I couldn't sleep.

Summertime colds are the pits.  I feel like death today but had to drag myself into work because I'm going on vacation next week.  Also, my fridge is broke and my management company still hasn't come to fix it.  Someone please shoot me.

We went to sleep early last night be SO is starting to go to the gym in the morning before work. I was fully on board and we were trying to sleep about 830/9pm. Well by 10 I had woken to pee. Laid back down and the heartburn started. So I propped myself up, tossed and turned, went to the kitchen and drank milk, went back up and stole one of his pillows to prop myself even higher, then the nausea kicked in. Of course coupled with the nausea was the itchy belly. I finally fell asleep, practically sitting up, at like 11. Tossed and turned and got crappy sleep until his alarm went off at 415. I made him breakfast to take with for after the gym since I knew going back to sleep was going to suck. Finally fell back to sleep about 520. At 7 my damn neighbors construction dude was tossing crap into their dumpster making a ruckus. Like wtf. I know it's legal and they have work to do but dammit I want sleep. I was able to half sleep for another hour after that but gah today is going to be a long day.

Good news for my day is that I found out my daughter has the AM kindergarten class! I'm excited to know her teacher!

1. It makes me sad when people don't join in on the fun of our goofy threads and proceed to get their panties in a wad. Lighten up, it's much better for the soul!

2. After a glorious summer vacation, it's back to school for this teacher tomorrow. I'm expecting to be annoyed and bored by meetings that do nothing but take time away from my ability to get my classroom ready, and then once I do finally get to my classroom, I'm expecting the A/C to suck enough that I'll sweat my ass off and be unable to do anything productive. At least my expectations are low, right? 

3. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel in my left wrist. Awesome. 

4. Between tax-free weekend and general baby-stuff-buying, I have spent all the money. No more trips to Target. No more browsing Etsy and Zulily. I guess it's a good thing I'm going back to work so I don't have all this free time to buy everything.

I get a lot of frozen, wheels on the bus, old McDonald etc. in my head...thanks dd1!

I couldn't find my wallet this morning with my bus card, debit card, ID, etc. I was all dressed and ready to go to work and I went for my purse and remembered that I took my wallet out yesterday to drive to grocery store. I guess I never put it back..... I spent 20 mins looking for it realizing I'm going to be sooooo late for work. So I sat in my rocking chair in the living room and cried. I can't believe this pregnancy brain. It is unbelievably unlike me I've never misplaced my bus card like this. I literately have no recollection where it could be. I had to call in work for a sick day I hate taking sick days I'm trying to save them for later in pregnancy when I really need it!

@smlowe9311 can I confess that when people talk about their biggest fears about having babies, having to watch kids movies/tv and listen to kids songs is mine? Everyone else is all- I'll never sleep again, I won't get my body back and my husband won't want me, I will lose touch with my friends, I'll turn into my mother, I won't know how to take care of the baby... And I'm over here thinking "I'll have to watch Calliou ."

adriennerose80

@J1D you should do what my parents did and say "FU baby. You're getting MTV and what ever movies we feel like watching. You'll learn to appreciate it."

Although we did get to watch cartoons and the 80s had some badass cartoons.

I cried yesterday because I didn't want to get up to get another pillow. Sleep is uncomfortable these days (as I am sure you all know!) so I have my snoogle and use another pillow. I needed to grab one from the guest bedroom and started crying cause I didn't want to rolly polly myself up. Hubs then got up and got it for me, wondering why I didn't just ask him. My hormones are out of control these days.

Cupcakesandquilts

I'm in the middle of my 3 hour glucose tolerance test, about to pass out and/or throw up. Blech.

smlowe9311

@J1D it doesn't have to be one movie/show. You can kind of persuade them to watch something that won't drive you nuts. There is hope

laceyjaep

An emotional weekend and 4 hours of sleep last night does not properly prepare a pregnant woman for Monday!

My son has never heard of Caillou. But I've seen every episode of Dinosaur Train and I'm thisclose to being able to quote every line of Elmo's Potty Time. At least DS hasn't discover kid's music yet . . .

Think low thoughts @Cupcakesandquilts!!  I know I'm thinking them for you!

stephiesheldork

There is no logical reason behind it, but I woke up this morning and the entire back half of my body hurts. Wtf is this bs?

heytallmama

I can't wait to be done sleeping on my side. My shoulders and across my mid-back are starting to ache from the pressure of laying on my side/ shoulder at night. I almost always end up on my back at some point in the night, no matter how many pillows I have around me to keep from doing so. Luckily the hubs has taken to rubbing that part of my back for me at night, but dannnnng. I can't wait to sleep on my stomach again!

Yes! I wanted to cry last night. I just want to sleep on my belly!

It's my hips! I can't wait to lay on my stomach again.

- Morning sickness has welcomed itself back into my life. Except this time its every friken hour of the night while I'm trying to sleep. 

- Our washer has been broken for a week now, and they won't be fixing it until Thursday. I'm considering planning a sick day so there's one less outfit I have to worry about. 

- I've gotten this far without having my OB appointments interfere with work but now with how frequent they are, its become inevitable. My boss refuses to negotiate ways for me to make up the time, and is instead taking it out from my vacation time. I can't wait to tell him that I'm not coming back after mat leave.

Another moan: I had my first real "pregnancy" reaction this weekend. I spent 45 minutes sorting through dirty clothes and sheets, along with all my baby clothes to wash. I lugged everything down our stairs then walked over to the Laundromat, only to be told it's closed. I called my husband crying so hard I could barely breathe. Because laundry.

Thankfully he was with his best friend who offered to let me wash all my clothes at his place. For free. So it all worked out but I was an emotional wreck for a good 20 minutes!

After 3 nights of poor sleep and a weekend of trying really, really hard to limit my sugar/carb intake at my inlaws house (a haven of all the carb-laden foods!), I'm exhausted and starving. Last night DH says he didn't sleep at all, and it's my fault because my tossing and turning kept him up. He forgot to mention that one reason I couldn't sleep is that he kept trying to grab my boob.

Also my right knee has been hurting the last couple days. I had to have surgery after I tore the meniscus a couple years ago, and it finally stopped hurting over the last few months. Now it's back to hurting again, which with my crotch pain, is making walking oh-so-fun.

Plus, my FIL sent home a baggy of Jelly Bellies as a treat for DS, but it's way more jelly beans than any 2-year old needs. I've hidden them away so I can dispense them as a treat at appropriate times, but they're still taunting me with their siren call.

And it's a dreary rainy day so that means being stuck inside.

I am so, so, so ready for fall and for being at the end of my pregnancy!

2nd Moan: 

One of the guys I work with is great and super fun to chat with... but decides to strike up Gchat conversation even when he starts with "how are you?" and I reply with busy/ doing a million things/ etc... and then he continues to drag out the conversation about this new coffee place he's going to, his weekend, all of the things I wanna be like "Um, you're awesome and all, but can we just chat at lunch? I meant it when I said I was busy!" Like, buddy, leave me alone for the next hour. Please! I need to get shit done! 

Alternatively, New Girl for our department is a support role. Unfortunately, that means she does the bitch work - something we were super clear about in the interviews. Now that she's on the team, she doesn't want to do the supporting work, and just wants big, new, fun projects and is constantly asking how she can get involved in those. OK, sweetie. Once you can master the menial tasks and show us you can do them well and not miss any steps like we've been pointing out,  then we'll talk about upgrading to bigger projects. First job out of college, but c'mon. A little common sense? Please?

There's cake, hot deceased old men, pie, tackiness, me being called slutty (thanks @adriennerose80, I love you gurl) and more cake.

I only slept for 4 hours last night. I couldn't fall back to sleep after I got up to pee! I hate that feeling laying in bed and wondering when you're going to fall asleep... and surprise I didn't! I am tired and cranky and ate too much for breakfast.

My car is leaking oil...yaaaay! So my boyfriend took me to work today. He's paying for the repairs thank goodness but I also feel like that's the least he could do for the shitty bet he made against me yesterday (bet that I can't handle unmedicated birth). I'll also be getting my toes done at his expense. THANKS DOUCHE-HONEY! ;;)
