On my way to the hospital for my CS and I didn't pop last night or tonight. Which means there is one sitting in there waiting to get out when I'm all cut up.
I'm going to punch my MIL if she laughs at my LO one more time when he has a BM and comments that he has the "hershey squirts". Babies poop and it's liquid...get over it!
Had membranes scrapped on Friday. Nothing happened. I have passed two due dates. I, sick and tired of being pregnant. Something needs to happen . Ahhhhh
Getting induced in 2 days and wake up to a bombardment of work emails and calls today of everyone needing something urgently and problems to solve. I'd like to say F off I'm on maternity leave, but I can't go on maternity leave until I get my APS from my doctor, which had to be mailed to me (not faxed, not scanned?), before I can turn in my STDI application. I'm 40w 5 d, I want peace and laziness right now.
Seriously kiddo, figure out your schedule already. Right now he eats every 2 hours all night, is awake most of the morning and eats every 3-4 hours, and sleeps 4-5 hours in a row all afternoon. I mentally cannot manage this schedule, him, and my 2 yr old.
Ugh @ccoleeman, so annoying. My job simultaneously asks me to do everything and then acts like I'm not going to show up for meetings etc. Co-worker emails me on Sat "are you done"? No dummy, I was at work Friday I said I'll be at work Monday. If I had the baby I would let you guys know!

I'm going to bitch about BFing this spawn of Satan. 90% of the time she's got a great latch, but that 10%? OMG. Drama queen. She'll start rooting around, mouthing her fingers, smacking her lips, and it will have been 2+ hours from the last time she ate...but as soon as a nipple touches her mouth she loses her shit and screams and pushes away like I'm trying to feed her dog turds. So we change position and calm down. Try again. Same. For 15+ minutes. Then she goes to sleep, wakes up 10min later and latches perfectly. ::Gives baby the evil eye::
I have to buy diapers... and wipes... and more diapers today.
My son is out, and I've got a ton of huggies for baby girl but they cause an awful reaction on her bottom. I can take the huggies and return/exchange them for store credit to buy pampers. Buttttt, two dilemmas. One being, I have to return the exact size package that that specific store sells. I don't have a freaking clue whether Target sells size 1's in 32 packs or 38?! And for number two, I have to try to wrangle both babies by myself. I'm barely sub-part at it at home, but in public? What was I thinkin'?!
So, in other words, I don't want to go to the store.
ETA- I know that coffee creamers are "seasonal," but winter just decided to show up here in Michigan, and I want my peppermint creamer that is already gone from the stores. Not cool.
I'm going to punch my MIL if she laughs at my LO one more time when he has a BM and comments that he has the "hershey squirts". Babies poop and it's liquid...get over it!
Omg this annoys me so much with my parents. They always say she "blew it out" and I'm just like......can we reserve that term for when she ACTUALLY has a blowout in her diaper? It's so annoying and I don't know why!
I'm grumpy that we still don't have a nursery. My step-son's crap plus a ton of furniture is cramped in there with our unused crib (used right now for diaper storage).
We are room sharing for a bit so I think our nursery just isn't a priority but it would sure be nice to have a place to store all of the baby's things instead of having it hidden away in different nooks all over the house.
Yeah I know its a small issue and stepson wasn't happy about sharing a room with his brother (they are 16 year old twins) so this makes the process easier on them I suppose but I still feel like bitching.. .

My daughter does the freak out and pushing me thing when she's really tired and her latch is lazy. It's so annoying because she's usually comfort nursing, and the only way for her to fall asleep is to get a good latch for a few minutes! Catch 22.
I'm just going to bitch about SO here: I love him to peices but here lately I could kill him... Probably lack of sleep but he's annoying me! He expects me to wake up with him and the baby all night- I fix the bottles, I grab the diapers, hold him put him back to sleep while SO feeds and burps him and hands him off to me.. If I accidently fall asleep, he will (at the next feeding or next day) say "what time did you go to sleep. I haven't slept, I work I need sleep" But yet, he can go to sleep while I take care of LO alone. I love my baby but, if I don't get sleep then I'm not going to be any good for LO or myself. Seriously thinking about sleeping at my OB appt tmw maybe they will take pity on me and let me sleep

@ambercakes92, I think it's annoying simply because it's a basic function and there is no need to point it out. Potty jokes are just unnecessary anyway. Why pick on a little baby?
My mom just arrived last night for a two week visit from the other side of the country. Her purpose of her visit was both to meet LO and help me out while I recover. I am day 3 pp and still quite sore and uncomfortable. So far today she made us breakfast then parked her ass on the couch, stole my computer to go on Facebook and texted her friends, and took the baby from me when he was happy and I was happily cuddling him. Like shit, there's floors to be swept and laundry to be done (still trying to catch up on homebirth laundry) and other things to do around the house. I can't yet do any of it because after pushing for 3 hours my pelvic floor is still a mess and being on my feet is nowhere near comfortable. It's so frustrating because I feel like I shouldn't have to ask her to do stuff, she should be offering, after all that's why she's here!
@kvacmak I can totally relate! No one is staying with me but at the end of my pregnancy/ since baby people keep telling me they are coming over to help and then do nothing remotely helpful and it just isn't me to start bossing them around. Whatever- it isn't a big deal but it kinda sucks when I get excited someone may help me get things done and then they don't.
I forgot how rough breastfeeding is on the nipples in the beginning. I try to make sure her latch is perfect but DD's mouth is so tiny that there really isn't a way around it. Ouch.
Sooo, to tack on to my previous post, I went and bought diapers and wipes. Luckily, my mom came with me because it would have ended in catastrophe due to my 13 month old not being in the shopping mood, and a poopy diaper on the baby (then of course she was hungry). So, after spending $115 I left Target with 4 pairs of newborn pants, 3 boxes of diapers, 2 boxes of wipes, and a partridge in a pear tree... not quite, but I did get a coffee from Starbucks. And because of the deals, I got $25 in gift cards for the next round of diapers. So I spent more than I wanted and I realize that my tank of a son is now in the biggest size of diapers there are... He's way too young for potty training! Crap, now what do I do?!
I'm 40+2 today and just feeling miserable wanting baby to get out. My husband thinks it's cute to keep asking "where's my baby" and telling me how he's impatient for me to start sharing her with him and I'm like I'd love to give you this baby right now but unfortunately she has other ideas! He was trying to be funny but I'm so irritable right now he was pretty much just driving me up the wall. And he's snoring beside me right now while I can't get myself to sleep since I'm so uncomfortable, so that could be making me resent him a little more too! I just want this baby outta here!!
I'd love to bitch about my family. They really have no respect for my space and act like this baby is theirs and I have to cater to their wants. For example, they show up on weekends all the time unannounced and expect me to give up my whole day and attention to them and their plans, which usually there are none exept sitting around for hours and deciding to go to a store for no reason. It especially ticks my husband off when its our time to be together after working all week but we are always giving my family company.
Another thing is the due date. Apparently I have to make sure to deliver on a day that works for them! I'm already 40+1, but my mother decided to go on a trip days before my due date and says I have to wait because she is not there, and now with the possibility of induction my sister says I have to schedule it around her trip. Not to mention trying to tell me who is going to be in the delivery room with me and how soon afterwards they are coming in. Hello? This is my baby and my body, and I am a private person so no one is seeing me before/during delivery except my husband and we are going to have time alone with her before they barge in and pass her around so that I barely hold her. They also have a problem when I say no one is allowed over the first week unless I call because husband is taking the week off to help me and bond. But try to explain any of this to them and I'm just the most offensive person in the world!
Gah! I'll try to chill out now. Its just hard to be firm when they are used to walking over my wishes for my whole life!
Why must my doctors office call, email, carrier pigeon appointment reminders? They tell me like 10 times before an appt even though I have never missed one. Their latest robo call woke me up from a nap. I've been sleeping horribly so was trying to catch up. Grr.

@Knottie84607381 I'm right there with you. My due date was last Weds, getting induced this Weds. My mom and sister drove in from MD and NC last week assuming I would deliver on my due date (avoiding the blizzard was an afterthought, though I'm glad they made it here safely before it hit)
Now my mom is anxiously telling me she has to leave by Thursday because she only brought enough medication for 1 week. Of course, she could get her prescriptions transferred here easily, but considering she has addiction issues, her insistence that she HAS to drive 7 hours home to pick up her meds in person tells me something is up. My sister also needs to leave by the end of the week and keeps telling me how her scheduled shoots (she's a professional photographer and works in multiple states) really need to know if I'll go in early because it's putting a strain on her schedule.
I was hoping to go into labor and have my family arrive after the delivery, and help the week after. Instead, my mom is griping about being lonely and bored, and expects to be entertained each day with a lunch or dinner. She and my sister expect to be there for the whole labor, and the flow of baby visitors is now getting crammed into the first 24 hours after birth. I'm already a private person, so it's making me anxious. I'd rather have a slow flow of people over a few weeks. Trying to be patient and grateful, as I know birth is all "expected the unexpected", but I thought that would apply more to my birth plan, not my role as "hostess"!
@claireloSC This!!! For our last appointment the pediatrician sent me the reminder text, called me once, and called my husband twice, one of those calls to my husband was after my call where I confirmed. I promise we're coming....
