I just went to several stores to look for maternity tops. First off, I am not going to be paying $30 for a stupid t-shirt. That is ridiculous. The first two stores didn't even carry maternity clothes, and the third one I went to, it was slim pickings (Old Navy). All of their t-shirts were short. I don't feel like pulling down my shirt all of the time because it is riding up! Why is it so hard, to make the shirt a little longer (mid-butt), so you aren't dealing with it sitting right under your belly and constantly riding up. And to top it off, most of the tank tops that they had....were all size small or medium.
ETA: This picture, because it is pretty much what I am talking about......
We aren't allowed to bring personal bags to the hospital because of lack of space. You know in this massive 3000 bed hospital we can't have a bag on the counter. So today I ran 4 blocks in pouring down rain with no umbrella a lab coat over my head and pants too long that I can't button because of the belly into the hospital. My feet are wet and my leather shoes are making me stink.
WTF. Next time I'm just being a rebel and bringing whatever the hell I want to bring.
@PhoebeJune1984 I so feel you! I have been living in $3-$4 dollar tank tops from walmart (both the spaghetti strap ones and the racer back ones) because it's the only thing that goes down from enough and I don't have to worry about it. Some I bought before I got pregnant and had just gotten a size up just in case (my normal big boob problem lol) and they still go to at least mid butt! My wtf is this stupid snow storm/blizzard crap in Indiana right now. It was literally 70 freakin degrees just a few days ago *sigh*. Meaning my attempt at trying to do more to have things ready for little man just continued to be hampered by having to have all flipping seasons of cloths still out for DH, DD and I, taking up space. (We don't have room for that shit!) Plus I'm just damn tired of always being so cold. *Ignore the bitchiness, toddler niece made us all horribly sick and I'm not handling it wonderfully at the moment lol*
My boss... I think he is ignoring requests off. We have our a/s on the 4th, he scheduled me. We have our next dr appointment on the 8th, and I'm betting I will be scheduled that day too. I'm supposed to be going to a bridal shower brunch on the 12th... Let's hope he pays attention to it...
Our A/C died in the office for several hours, and i was so hot I thought I was going to throw up. I had to pull up my hair, which revealed part of my tattoo and dared anyone to say anything about it.
Now that it's back up, its freezing. At least my girl scout cookies came in
My coworker is mad at us all (long story short: she is being forced to do her job and is unhappy about it) and things are horribly tense around here. I came upon her in the copier room and announced my presence so she wouldn't be startled. She goes, "Yeah, it would be terrible if I turned around and punched you in the stomach." Trying to keep it light I replied, "You're too tall for that. You'd probably just hit me in the face." Her response then was, "Yeah you're right. I'd punch you in the face and get cut by your pretty teeth and have to get stitches."
The WTF part? None of what she said was said with a smile, a chuckle, or anything. It sounds like she really would just love to punch me in the face.

My back last night and today.. I even did all my stretches and everything. Also WTF to my new teenage-boy-sized appetite? I feel like I can't get enough food ever.. I mean I'm very thankful to have my appetite back, but really?

wait, is that serious!? that's not even close to be funny--- I'd report that immediately... pretty sure assault isn't commonly accepted in the workplace...
Wtf this is the fourth time my roommates 2 year old has gotten the stomach flu!! STMs, is that normal for a kid that goes to daycare to keep getting this??? Now I am waiting for the rest of us to get it. AGAIN. fml.
WTF to my parents and not respecting our wishes in regards to DS. I've already had several conversations with them regarding the number of gifts they buy DS and feeling compelled to give him something every single time they see him. He is 2. He does not need mountains of toys. He has enough clothes to dress 4 kids his age. Now his birthday is coming up in a little over a month and we're seeing my parents this weekend. They want to give him his new big wheel bike as an "early birthday present" because "the weather will be good" this weekend. 1. He already has a bike. 2. The weather will be good for the next 6 months. 3. He can wait one more month until his birthday. He doesn't understand early birthday presents, he only understands that every time he sees his grandparents he now expects a gift. That is not what visiting with them needs to be about. I am so frustrated and am now thinking we won't see them this weekend to prove a point. Andplusalso, if they complain to me about being broke one more time with a gift in hand for DS I am seriously going to lose my shit. Save money for retirement and stop unnecessarily spoiling my child!
WTF to my pushy alcoholic mother-in-law. Weeknights between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m. are unacceptable for calling us drunk to babble on about bullshit. I'm pregnant and tired and we both fucking work. Also, stop calling me at work, you fucking batshit lush. I don't want to have the same convo with you six or seven times because you are too deep in a bottle to remember that we've already talked about this. Oh, great, you are flying in next week. Hope you enjoy the week of sobriety you will be forced to endure if you don't want to be kicked out of my house.
WTF emotions?! I'm really happy and my husband and I are doing really well. We have been on the same page and he has been so supportive and wonderful. We are so happy and excited for all the changes in our life. But seriously just about everything else in my life has me an emotional wreck. I cried for an hour today because the bathroom was dirty. I feel disconnected from almost everyone I know and I'm just so frustrated. My solution is to eat cookies in bed with my dog.
Thank you all for your thoughts! I told my boss about it later that afternoon. You know what the kicker is? I had to go through a 360 assessment a couple of months ago and this same coworker called me out on MY emotional maturity.

@phoebejune1984 were you trying Old Navy's maternity tank tops? I lived in those things my first pregnancy and bought a few more colors for this go around, too. They're plenty long for me.

I didnt bother to try them, because all they had in stock were small and medium
@silvers626 I would make it a point to let them know that for every toy they bring, you are donating a previous given toy to Goodwill. Maybe have your DS pick out a toy and an outfit that he gets to give to another person in need whenever he's given something from the grandparents...
That's a fantastic idea @PinkLady2015 The 4 year old doesn't have a birthday until June, but FIL brings him a new toy or three EVERY. SINGLE. VISIT. He over did it at Christmas and now we're overstocked. Telling him that may cut down on how bad they are on his birthday. He honestly doesn't need any more toys.
Wtf to my new neurologist. I was diagnosed with epilepsy 4 years ago. I've never had 'normal' epilepsy- no evidence on eegs or tonic clonic seizures, just partial seizures. I have a strong family history of epilepsy and all of us are the same- no evidence on eegs. Some of my relatives have progressed onto tonic clonic but all of us started with the same type of seizures. The only reason I haven't had tonic clonic seizures is because I got put on medication earlier then they did.
My last neuro was good. She was good with my last pregnancy and just gave me info over the phone on what to do while pregnant, like increase my medication dose whilst pregnant if needed. She chose the meds I'm on specifically for pregnancy, because they are the safest for bubs. She's now moved and I've been given to a different neuro. I just saw him and he said that because I haven't had a postive eeg I don't have epilepsy, so shouldn't be on medication because my baby will be harmed. Because I'm already on it, he reckons I need to lower my dose, so hopefully I will have seizures that show up on an eeg and I can be diagnosed with epilepsy.
If I start having seizures, it can cause bubs brain damage and I will lose all of my independence like my licence and my job.
I'm currently desperately trying to find the contact details for my old neuro so I don't have to see this guy again. Either way, I am continuing with my medication just as my last neuro told me too and this guy can go jump off a cliff.
I'm just so mad because now he's going to write on my file that I don't have epilepsy and then I won't be followed as closely to make sure everything is ok. Garrr so frustrated.
@LilLambie That's a serious WTF. I would be so mad. If you can't find the contact for your old neurologist could your primary care physician refer you to a different doctor?
I also have epilepsy and primarily complex partial seizures (I had a few tonic clonic during times after hurting myself so I suppose shock provoked) and am really surprised by the must have positive eeg for diagnosis. I hope you can find a new doctor quickly.
