FFFC 2/12/16

Kicking this off 'cause I have one...

My confession is that I'm starting to hope my doctor tells me to stop working a couple of weeks before my EDD.  I don't know if my job has suddenly become a lot more stressful, or if I'm just not able to handle the stress as well since I'm KU.  Either way, I'm starting to go home every single night just completely exhausted and defeated and wondering how I'm going to make it through the next 11 weeks.  And this makes me feel like crap, because I've always been a very capable worker.  
My secondary confession is that I feel horrible for wanting to leave work early because I'd need a medical reason to do so, and I feel like my wishful thinking is putting bad vibes into the air for the end of my pregnancy.  So as you all can see, it's super fun to be me today. :neutral:

    @Aquinna82 most doctors will sign for you to start maternity leave at 38 weeks just due to discomfort and the fact that you *could* realistically go into spontaneous labor that early. I'm not sure about any earlier than that though. My doctor signed for my leave to begin at 39 weeks last time without any extra reason-- and I'm glad he did because my water broke at 39+1. If I'd have worked to 40 weeks, it would have happened at work.
    I may ask about this....I do in home therapy and the toll on my body of sitting on hard wood floors for 3 hours straight is killing me. Let alone I don't want my water breaking at a client's house...

    @LadySamLady I always fill online shopping carts and hardly ever buy it. Glad I'm not the only one.

    @Aquinna82 -- I'm terrified of going into labor at work. Well mostly just having my water break at work.

    Girl, it's ok! It's ok to splurge some! Don't feel bad about gaining weight, we are all gaining weight with you! I'm sure you look beautiful!

    @mrstmoose Thank you! Maybe I'll have one cheat day a week and spoil myself!

    My FFFC is that I do not want to go into May. From my BFP I thought I was due April 30th. But they changed my due date early on to May 7th but I'd have a repeat c section around 39 weeks. I always thought (hoped) I'd have a c section the last week of April. My dr told me today that if nothing changes, I'll have a c section on Monday, May 2nd. I know it's a matter of days but it seems like a whole extra month. I'm miserable and over being pregnant. My next appt is March 9th and we'll discuss more then.

    Sometimes I just want DH to SHUT UP. He is a talker, and just keeps going. I am lucky to have a husband that wants me to be so involved in his day to day, but seriously, he tells me every story about every kid he teaches. I really don't care why a kid wasn't in class or if they changed for gym. Now with fantasy baseball season rearing up, I have to hear every in and out of who he wants to draft and his draft order. I DON'T CARE. At 7:00 am I like to read TB, have my coffee, watch some GMA and slowly wake up. He likes to talk to me about any thought that enters his mind. I am a baaaaddddd wifey. 
    I feel you girl. We are women with teacher husbands. I swear DH loves the sound of his voice and to hear himself talk. He talks my ear off too. Sometimes I just cannot handle it, I love him so much but he wears on me! One time I told him to "shhhhhh", and he got soo butt hurt, so now I just tune him out when I am over it. HAHA!

    Lol. DH and I are the other way around. I used to run him down with teacher stories-- sometimes just because I needed to vent. He's pretty blunt, which I mostly love, but he gave it to me straight enough times that for the past few years, I only share the actually amusing stories rather than the day-to-day playback. It's so much better for both of us.

    After all the political chatter yesterday I guess my confession is that I'm socially very progressive but fiscally super conservative. Raising taxes on capital gains as per Sanders' suggestion - in my opinion - is insane. It greatly reduces the incentive to invest in our economy and most people with substantial wealth have already made arrangements to find loop holes around paying crazy amounts of taxes. 

    Ironically I went to college in Vermont so everyone assumes I'm voting for Bernie. No thanks!

    I seriously want DH to just be gone all day. He's on my shit list right now because he demanded that I clean his friends 5th wheel... Like shampoo the carpets and stuff... what?! They are both very capable men who can clean themselves but no,  they ask a pregnant chick of 3 children to do it. I told him to f*&k off. My fffc is that I don't even feel guilty about it.

    He is lucky to be breathing after that shit! He must be punished for this audacity.

    My FFFC is that I am adamant that I will turn into a mama bear once this little girl is born.  I don't care if you are the baby's grandparent, either you get the TDAP shot or you will not be seeing, holding, touching my  baby.  Period!  End of story. NO EXCEPTIONS WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!  Anyone that wants to see, touch, hold the baby must have an up-to-date TDAP.  If that makes me a bitch then so be it. No sweat off my back.   I'm battling this out with my MIL right now.  I mentioned that she and my FIL would need the shot.   And it has escalated from there. Ugh!
    Why are they being resistant?
    My mom had whooping cough a few years back. After watching her be that sick for so long, I don't know why anyone wouldn't want to protect themselves, and their grandchildren, against it.
    Now that you mention it , I should probably tell all grandparents they need to get updated,

    My feet are swelling up like Kim K's ( minus wearing gnarly heels). I know I should be staying away from salty foods, but I just can't. So giant swollen feet it is!

    It's not so much resistance as it is playing stupid. She asked where to get it and I said your doctor or maybe the Health Dept. Then she wanted to know why they couldn't get it from my doctor.  I'm like bc my doctor only Treats pregnant women.  This woman goes to doctors all the time. She knows better.  I might could let a conversation like this slide with the father in law bc he basically lives under a rock and would not know better. She knows better. She even went so far as to tell me I should call and make their appt. Ummmm no. You know your doctor, you make your own appt. Suck it up buttercup and stop acting stupid when I know you're not.

    @nerdymama15 Can't you get that at CVS or Walgreens? I'd load up the car with the grandparents and take them down there and have them get the shots!

    You can definitely get the Tdap at Walgreens-- that's where DH got his. CVS carries it too and you can check availability by store on their website. Both accept insurance.

    If your CVS or Walgreens has one of those quick clinic things then I'm pretty sure they have the TDAP vaccine there... I've already told all of our future grandparents that's what they need to do as they're all lazy and I could never trust they would actually make their own doctors appointment to do it.

    1)  I sat in my car for 15 - 20 minutes listening to a cd and surfing my phone because I wasn't mentally prepared to walk the 15 feet into the house in the cold.  The only reason I went in when I did is because I had to go to the bathroom.

    2)  I accidentally stole a banana from the Barnes and Noble Café on Wednesday.  I felt so embarrassed when I got to work and saw I had two in my bag I called them up and asked if they wanted me to come back and pay for it after work.  (They were gracious enough to say no, it was fine, especially because they were reaching the overripe stage - and they're a dollar.  When I told DH this story, he still got worried they were going to legally come after me about it.)

    Haha seriously! I've told him in the past that I'm usually pretty easy going if you just ask... But don't care demand anything from me. Now he's watching all 3 boys while I'm getting my pedicure.

    A CD?? I feel nostalgic. I don't think I've held or listened to an actual CD in 10 years. I wore my BSB and Hanson CDs OUT when I was growing up. I still love them both, maybe that's my FFFC.

    Ha!  Well... my last car, which I had until 2014, still had a cassette tape player, so at least I've moved up a little. ;)  Also I hate the local radio stations except for one, maybe, sometimes.
