So, at 15 weeks we finally told our families about me being pregnant. Everyone was excited.
Except my SIL. She talked into the kitchen, not sure she knew I could hear her, and said "Well this sucks." Then continued to whine to MIL about how she wanted a baby, but her husband didn't want any more. This is not a case of infertility where I would totally get her being upset. This is a case that she has 2 healthy children, and her husband is perfectly content where they are. She is never satisfied it seems, and such a jealous person.
So after she whined about it for awhile, I came out into the kitchen and she said something to the effect of "I really am happy for you. I just want one." I reminded her that 1. I am older, and 2. she already has 2. I was done after that. It really made me want to not tell anyone else ever. We already waited what most people consider a really long time to tell. Joy stealer. Seriously. Get over yourself. Rant over.
Also, I accidentally sent my phone an hour away to my parents with DD for the day. So there's that.
Wow @texasmama2014! That is so unfortunate. Those are the kinds of things you never forget too. Hopefully the rest of your family was really excited!
I was eating lunch in the break room today. I was having popcorn shrimp, not the healthiest I know, but give me a break. One of my co-workers comes in, looks at my food and says, "Really? That's what you're feeding the baby today?" I said yep and tried to give the bitchiest side eye possible. Leave the pregnant lady and her fried shrimp alone!
My in-laws came to visit (their only grandchild) over the weekend and I was out of town for a college roommate's baby shower. Normally, DS is all about mama so I thought it would help that I wasn't there since he doesn't see them as often and they are not super interactive with him. Nope, didn't help at all. Not only did they not interact with him, MIL read on the couch while he was awake rather than playing with him and they left early Sunday morning before he even went down for his nap. But yet, FIL said he wished that DS would interact with him like he does with my parents. That play with him constantly when around, ask to FaceTime with us once a week so he sees them often and just generally make a huge effort to see their only grandchild. It really made me mad that they aren't happy with DS just sitting on their laps watching tv with them (because we don't generally have tv on when he is awake, exceptions for golf and football sometimes) but then refuse to do what the active toddler wants to do because they are unhealthy. And then make their son feel guilty that they don't have a good relationship with DS. Probably a really good thing I wasn't there or my BP would have been super high and pregnancy emotions may have meant I just let them have it. Especially when MIL brought a tent for DS knowing that my mom got him a play hut for Christmas...
@texasmama2014 I had a similar experience with my SIL who is getting married on 8/20/16. When she found out I was pregnant (before we knew the due date) she looked at her fiance and rolled her eyes. I. WAS. PISSED. We have a c-section scheduled for 8/7 so I made sure to tell her that the birth of my child won't interfere with her wedding...(even though none of us are in it anyways).
My complaint today is that I have basically nothing to do at work. I just finished this extra assignment that my boss gave me to keep me busy, which took all of an hour. My mom always says she's jealous that I have weeks like this, where I've got nothing to do, but I hate it. I'd rather be at home than sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Guess I'll just hang out on the Bump!
Also, we took the kids on our first ever family vacation this past weekend...Why didn't anyone tell me how flippin' stressful it is to take a family vacation!? My step-son was grumpy pretty much the whole time, my daughter was well-behaved but kept rubbing it in his face ("Mommy, am I being good?" every time her brother copped an attitude), AND my step-son, who is almost six, pooped his pants on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday (DH is calling the pediatrician today because that obviously isn't normal). Now we're worried and wondering if he's having these accidents because of stress (his mom just moved for the 4th time since July and he misses her now ex-boyfriend, plus we're expecting, and family vacations are stressful), or if there's something physically wrong with him. I feel like I need a vacation to recoup from our vacation.

@texasmama2014 that sucks, especially when you were hesitant to tell in the first place. Hopefully she will be the exception to how people react to your news!
@hannah0726 I probably would have lost it on her! I love how people suddenly feel like they are entitled to comment on your food and weight once your pregnant. In my last pregnancy I had multiple people ask how much weight I had gained so far! I'm sorry, how is that any of your business??
DS threw up in the middle of the night last night which means this is the second time in a week and a half that he's had the stomach bug! I'm sure someone sent their kid back to daycare too early since the last round went through the whole class last week. Grrrr, I'm so tired of cleaning sheets at 2am!!
Oh Man... I really tried to start work this week with a good, zen attitude. I gave myself a pep talk in the shower this morning about how my job is not unpleasant, and it's much better than my previous job, and I like my coworkers, and at the very least maybe I can get Chipotle for lunch, etc.
But as soon as I got into the office I get a message that my boss needs to talk to me ASAP, I got a bogus, waste-of-time project dumped in my lap, and had like 30 emails in my inbox (none of which are actually important but they all require follow-up). I already need a "do-over" on this Monday morning.
I spent 5 min crying in the bathroom at work this morning because my CW told me I would really regret not having a changing table, and it was something we absolutely needed. You know what? I wish we had already bought a beautiful house with a separate nursery that I could buy all the beautiful matching furniture for, but we're going to be in our 1-bedroom for at least the first 6 mos. of this kid's life, and he or she will be in a crib in our bedroom, and will have to be changed on a changing pad on the floor or on the bed. I'm fine with this whole plan 98% of the time, but of COURSE I wish I had the room to set up the perfect nursery. Comments like his just make me feel like what we have isn't enough :-(
@Hummingbird125 I'm sorry. I can't stand people like that. Honestly I had a changing table with my first and never used for more than a place to throw laundry when I didn't feel like putting it away. What you have is more than enough. People should mind their own business.
My bitch today is my stupid headache that won't go away. I need to clean my house but can't seem to remove myself from my couch.
I have never posted on one of these before but I reading through what other people have said I realize that I have a bitch that has been going on since I found out I was pregnant. I am in a wedding 5 days after my due date as is my husband. Last week the bride, who is a really close friend of mine, said we needed to figure out if I was still going to be in her wedding. I feel really bad that this pregnancy may cause me to not be in her wedding but I have also told her that I will be at her wedding as long as I am not in the hospital. She has not said anything about my husband being in the wedding even though he will also miss the wedding if I am in the hospital...
Hummingbird125 Can I just tell you how many times DH and I say that we WISH we had stayed in our 1 bedroom condo longer, even a little after DD was born, so that we could have paid off more debt and saved more for a more updated house that didn't need so much work? I think we say it at least once a week. We bought a total fixer upper because we just haaaad to get out of our condo, and after 3 years we finally just did one of the bathrooms. We still desperately need to do the kitchen and one other bathroom, and the roof/furnace/and AC units are all each about 20+ years old. We have no money to fix any of them right now, so *knock on wood* they continue to hold up. So do what you need to do, the baby isn't going to remember any of that stuff, they just want love and attention, oh and the boob lol. And quite frankly, DD is 20 mos old and I STILL haven't finished her nursery, it's a lost cause at this point now that we're moving her out of there very soon. Maybe baby boy will have a complete nursery, but I won't hold my breath. Take your time and do what's best for your family, that's what's important. As for the practicality of the changing table, I mean, yeah, we use ours multiple times a day, and even when DD was born I would schlep upstairs just to use that instead of the pack n play, but I'm tall and to bend over to use the pack n play as a changing table, which everyone told me was a must, was killing my back so it was either the floor or the changing table. However, if we didn't have it, there are plenty of other places to plop baby down to change a diaper.
@mmclark10 Your inlaws sound EXACTLY like my inlaws. I don't know how old your son is but DD is 16 months and does not like to sit still long. When I say long I mean ever. It's probably a good thing you weren't there!
@SkiChic626 - thank you thank you THANK YOU! Early on in the pregnancy there was one night that I was super bummed about not having a nursery, and DH was all "let's move! We can find a 2 bedroom!" But it just makes NO sense for us right now. Our apartment is perfect other than missing a bedroom (yard for dog, great kitchen, near train for DH), and we're planning on moving out of state at the beginning of next year. Not worth the hassle to move now, not by a long shot!
Sounds like a great time to share my in law complaint! Our dd is going to turn a year old in April. I am NOT having 2 separate parties just because my MIL doesn't want to be in the same room as my FIL (they are divorced). If you love your grandchildren and want to see them, get over yourself. It is so ridiculous to me that she can't just grow up.
@Hummingbird125 We had a 2-bedroom when DD was born but we didn't even use her room for several months. Baby sleeps in your room anyway typically for at least the first 2 months, if not longer. Also, we never had a changing table - she got changed wherever we were in the house (usually the living room ottoman) and that worked out just great. Now I live in a 5-bedroom and will once again not even need baby's room for several months, and definitely won't need a changing table. After all, the nursery would be upstairs with all of the bedrooms, and we'll be downstairs most of the time. Why would we go all the way upstairs just to change a diaper!? No thanks! My point is, what you have is PERFECT for you and baby. If you paid extra for a 2-bedroom now, you'd totally regret it.

"Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill
@Hummingbird125 I actually am in the same boat. We have a little loft in downtown LA and I would get teary eyed looking at cute nurseries on Pinterest. Our options were to move farther out from downtown so DH couldnt walk to work anymore - longer commute and less time with us - or push our budget to the limit and move into a 2 bedroom - no fun activities, eating out, etc.We decided we are going to stay put until we get the urge to have another baby. At least you have a yard!! Lol, I have to take our pup out for walks like 5 times a day! Everything always works out how it's supposed to, moving is a bitch and plus there's less house to clean in a smaller place!
Posted this in the appointment thread but I heard the baby's heartbeat today at my 16 week appointment and I know I heard 2. My doctor said it was mine and the baby's but now I keep googling what two Babys heartbeats sound like on a Doppler. I guess I find it odd because I never heard my heartbeat on the Doppler when I was pregnant with DD. I'm being psycho and pissing myself off because I know what the doctor said is true. Someone needs to disable Google on my phone.
You all are having horrible days, I am so sorry. @texasmama2014 , I am sorry she isn't being supportive or understanding. She can feel the way she feels, but at least vent to a friend or to someone when you aren't around. Or better yet she should talk to her husband,
Hope everyone's family and friend get with the program soon. Being pregnant has made me realize that I do not know the story and not to judge or give an opinion unless asked for it.
My BF is to my husband. Since we weren't expecting to ever be able to be pregnant, this pregnancy has been a major surprise. We have had to move up our time table of finishing our basement since we only have a one bedroom home at the moment. Well nothing has been done since December 26th. Nothing! He informed me that we couldn't finish putting up the sheetrock/drywall until the plumbing was done, which couldn't be done until the tub was installed. Well he procrastinated for a whole month and did nothing. Finally I get him on board to at least order the damn tub. He brings it up to two of his brothers for their opinion (they are contractors), of course they say I can get it cheaper, let me get a hold of my rep....which takes two weeks!!! Finally we order it and it takes another two weeks to get it to us. Of course today he goes to pick it up, and he never bothered to checked the dimensions to make sure he could get it inside the house. Big surprise, it won't fit!! Not unless I remove some of my kitchen cabinets or somehow take out a closet. It's also too big to fit in any window. Fantastic!!! What a great waste of over two months!
We are almost half way to our due date and there is no place for baby to sleep or anything expect our dinning room. That's wonderful. I get that it's not the worst thing since we can make room, but come on! Help a girl out. I need a partner in this, not a headache or someone that I need to treat as a child and guide. It's so frustrating. At this point I am really worried about how things will be going forward. He is a wonderful guy, but I'm starting to think he bit off more than he can chew and really wish we had bought a different house.
Lynnlove28 My doppler always picks up my and baby's heartbeat at the same time. I think it's pretty normal. How many sacs did you see at your first ultrasound? A second baby wouldn't just appear this far along, they'd know by now if it was twins!
michelle_shelle You have a lot more time than you think you do. Baby is going to be in your room for the first several weeks, at least, if not longer. And you won't really need a real bathtub until baby can sit up on their own. For most that's around 6 months. We used a plastic tub in the kitchen sink until around 6-7 months, it might have even been a little longer than that because I hated our old bathroom. DD is 20 months and we finally just finished renovating our bathroom and have a functioning bath tub that I feel good putting her in.
I have a co-worker that is exactly 1 month ahead of me, due in July. My boss asked me how much weight I had gained, I said 8 pounds, which I thought was decent for being almost 16 weeks...He proceeded to brag on said co-worker because she had only gained 6 pounds and was 21 weeks. "She is always so fit and put together, it is incredible" WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL....she also threw up the ENTIRE first trimester. Which, I didn't get sick once...so that also helps keeps the pounds off...now I feel like a cow
I'm done now, I think.
Ladies, WE ARE AWESOME! Even when all we see if the number on the scale.
first time momma -a heart at peace gives life to the body-
@SkiChic626 I absolutely get that. The problem is that we can't finish drywalling, mudding and sanding until the tub is in so that the plumbing can also be done. I absolutely agree that baby will not be taking a bath in the tub for quite some time and will spend some time in our room. But the tub needs to go in so we can finish babies room, not even paint but get the remaining walls up. We have four weeks left before my husband goes back to working 80 plus hours a week until December. We are doing the work ourselves since we can't afford a contractor. So the next four weeks are all we have left. I know it's minor but I'm just frustrated that he wasted mlmonths of doing nothing when we could be done with the construction.
@michelle_shelle I'm sorry Renovating sucks and I hope it goes fast for you. We are doing our master bath and the jack and jill bathroom between DD and the new baby's room. My husband is handling the jack and jill on his own and I am terrified of how long it is going to take.
@Hummingbird125 we are in a 2 bedroom apartment and one room is a mandatory office for SOs business. So I feel your pain, we are expecting two and just talked today how we can get rid of the tv and loveseat in our small living room to make room for a pack n play for them to sleep in and a dresser to store clothes... SO wanted to get rid of the couch cause it is bigger and I said no, we might need that to nap or for company!!
Thank god we do not have any living expenses (the shop for the business is attached to the building and this was built before I met SO), otherwise we would be totally looking for something. Right now it will be fine because I'm not working and we need to save money! People keep asking me what I'm decorating our nursery as and I'm like I'm not, we don't have one!
My bitch today is the same as @lotsofsunshine I have a headache that just won't go away. I just made coffee at 4:30 in the afternoon hoping that would help!
If one more person tells me that it sucks I am going to be pregnant ALLLLLL summer I think I might punch them.

Ditto! I keep getting looks of pity. One person even back rubbed me. Seriously, I'm not that worried about it. If I'm hot I will stay in the AC! Plus it's Wisconsin. It rarely gets above 85.
@tisunge602 Oh I am in Wisconsin too! It is like no one has heard of AC before, plus also I can't think of a better way to being big and preggo than throwing on a sundress and flip flops. Putting on boots and socks and a winter coat 8 months pregnant sounds exhausting.

Wooowhoo for Wiconsin! Here too! I just keep saying well at least I can wear sundresses instead of ginormous sweaters and coats. @tisunge602@midwestbaby
Someone went to staff meeting sick and got ALL of the clinical staff sick, including myself. I got coughing, fever, headache and achy. Thankfully I did NOT get the worse of it. Everyone else threw up and maintained a high fever that would have put me in the hospital.
Even though I'm still not feeling great I had to hold work down today because everyone else had it worse.
@SkiChic626 I absolutely get that. The problem is that we can't finish drywalling, mudding and sanding until the tub is in so that the plumbing can also be done.

I feel you! DH did some renos in our condo before we got married (no baby on the way depending on it) and I almost killed him because he was dragging his feet on the finishing touches. Renos are crazy stressful when you're not pregnant. I hope he gets his butt in gear!
Married May 2014 DD born August 2016 Baby #2 due December 2017
DH and I are in the process of buying a house and we have had issue after issue. I have been trying to get some answers out of our lender, who we went with because they promised they could make our closing date--DH talked to them today while I was working, and they think it is highly unlikely they will make the closing date! I'm kinda glad I missed the call--every call with them over the past week has either made me cry or made me so mad I am almost literally seeing red. I know that is not good for baby! They are just pissing me off because I have been badgering them for answers to my questions, because it seems like they will need additional paperwork they have not asked for. Yep, they need it, and since they don't have it yet, we'll probably miss the closing date. If I hadn't asked (multiple times), when were you going to tell us? On the missed closing date?! Ugh. Won't be recommending them to anyone else, that's for sure.

I actually don't get why it's a bad thing. All last summer when I was walking thru Lake George and seeing all the pregnant women in cute swim suits at the pool I was jealous that I didn't get to be pregnant during the summer with #1. I think it's the best! Who wants to deal with being huge and having to bundle up a big belly all winter long...marshmallow nan status. I'd much rather it be in the summer. Plus, it's the BEST time to be on maternity leave!!

We had this happen, too! Our closing date was rescheduled by the lender FIVE times at the last minute, twice when everyone (except the banker) was at the table ready to close. We almost lost the house because of it. Never again will we use them.
@SkiChic626 oh I know I'm being completely unreasonable and crazy but sometimes I can't help myself. DH talked me down lol.
Tonight I dropped my phone in the driveway, it fell on its back but of course the screen shattered and is unusable. Half of the screen is black and so I am using an old iPhone 4 until we take care of the insurance on it to get a new one. It's super laggy because it hasn't been used in forever. First world problems.
I'm having a crabby Monday because we need a van and Saturday night my clutch went out on my car unexpectedly. I secretly think that my fiancé broke it because he is an aggressive shifter lol! Well anyway, that kind of screwed us for our plans to trade my car in for the moment, but my car is also newer and nicer than my fiances. I had to drive his car today and discovered that his turn signals don't work! I felt really trashy driving around trying to use hand signals so that people wouldn't crash into me! Today after a depressing weekend of car searching to no avail, I gently suggested that maybe we sell his car for $5000 and use that for a great down payment so that our payment for the new car is way lower. He said "ugh. This is just so unfair to me. Everything is about you and the kids now and I just don't know if I like it." Well 1) my dream car is not a minivan either but I can't fit 3 car seats in a honda accord and 2) I told him two months before I got pregnant that I was done having kids and he pouted.
I'm trying to hold back from screaming at him because I really want him to sell his car so I figured I would post here instead. Better already! Haha
I am super annoyed. My Dr took me off work for 1 month. I have been getting horrible migraines and nausea. I have a 7 month old daughter and work until 1130 at night so I don't get much sleep. I am annoyed because my MIL called and said she is sorry I'm off work for stress. I explained to her I didn't leave work due to stress that I haven't been feeling well and she should know that as I have told her before. She continued saying hopefully my time off will help with stress??? I'm annoyed because I know she will tell the whole family I'm off work because I'm soooo stressed out. Jeeeez
I posted about it on another thread too, but early Sunday morning, the apartment above us caught on fire. No idea what woke up DH, because the smoke alarms didn't go off. I had enough time to grab a paid of pants and my wedding rings before DH literally shoved me out the front door. It's a freaking miracle, but we were able to save about 90% of our stuff thanks to the quick response of the firefighters who put tarps over all of our stuff. But: 1. Now I'm out of a home because we refuse to go back to a different unit in that complex. 2. I will be lodging a formal complaint against the on-call doctor I called Sunday morning to ask questions about smoke inhalation. The medics checked me out at the scene, but I was still going to feel better after I heard it from my doctors office (not my actual OB). This lady was so incredibly rude to me. I explained the situation of what happened and her response was to cut me off and say, "If you aren't having any symptoms, then your baby isn't having any symptoms and that means that your baby is fine." When I tried to tell her my concerns about going back into the apartment later that day to try and salvage our stuff, she cut me off again and in the snidest tone of voice said, "Hun, if you are that concerned about it, just wear a mask." Lady, I get it that I interrupted your Sunday morning. But don't talk to a pregnant lady that way when she has just lost her home. All I was looking for was some assurance. Thankfully I have a checkup later today, so hopefully I can hear baby's heartbeat and know that it is okay.

I have been 9 months pregnant in the middle of a polar vortex. It SUCKS! Plus you have maternity leave at the worst time possible - it's dark, cold and everyone is sick! I am so excited to be preg in the summer. Plus you have a good excuse to wear flip flops to work!
Re: Monday Bitchfest
Except my SIL. She talked into the kitchen, not sure she knew I could hear her, and said "Well this sucks." Then continued to whine to MIL about how she wanted a baby, but her husband didn't want any more. This is not a case of infertility where I would totally get her being upset. This is a case that she has 2 healthy children, and her husband is perfectly content where they are. She is never satisfied it seems, and such a jealous person.
So after she whined about it for awhile, I came out into the kitchen and she said something to the effect of "I really am happy for you. I just want one." I reminded her that 1. I am older, and 2. she already has 2. I was done after that. It really made me want to not tell anyone else ever. We already waited what most people consider a really long time to tell. Joy stealer. Seriously. Get over yourself. Rant over.
Also, I accidentally sent my phone an hour away to my parents with DD for the day. So there's that.
I was eating lunch in the break room today. I was having popcorn shrimp, not the healthiest I know, but give me a break. One of my co-workers comes in, looks at my food and says, "Really? That's what you're feeding the baby today?"
I said yep and tried to give the bitchiest side eye possible.
Leave the pregnant lady and her fried shrimp alone!
This is how I feel today...

Also, we took the kids on our first ever family vacation this past weekend...Why didn't anyone tell me how flippin' stressful it is to take a family vacation!? My step-son was grumpy pretty much the whole time, my daughter was well-behaved but kept rubbing it in his face ("Mommy, am I being good?" every time her brother copped an attitude), AND my step-son, who is almost six, pooped his pants on Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday (DH is calling the pediatrician today because that obviously isn't normal). Now we're worried and wondering if he's having these accidents because of stress (his mom just moved for the 4th time since July and he misses her now ex-boyfriend, plus we're expecting, and family vacations are stressful), or if there's something physically wrong with him. I feel like I need a vacation to recoup from our vacation.
@hannah0726 I probably would have lost it on her! I love how people suddenly feel like they are entitled to comment on your food and weight once your pregnant. In my last pregnancy I had multiple people ask how much weight I had gained so far! I'm sorry, how is that any of your business??
DS threw up in the middle of the night last night which means this is the second time in a week and a half that he's had the stomach bug! I'm sure someone sent their kid back to daycare too early since the last round went through the whole class last week. Grrrr, I'm so tired of cleaning sheets at 2am!!
But as soon as I got into the office I get a message that my boss needs to talk to me ASAP, I got a bogus, waste-of-time project dumped in my lap, and had like 30 emails in my inbox (none of which are actually important but they all require follow-up). I already need a "do-over" on this Monday morning.
My bitch today is my stupid headache that won't go away. I need to clean my house but can't seem to remove myself from my couch.

At least you have a yard!! Lol, I have to take our pup out for walks like 5 times a day! Everything always works out how it's supposed to, moving is a bitch and plus there's less house to clean in a smaller place!
@texasmama2014 , I am sorry she isn't being supportive or understanding. She can feel the way she feels, but at least vent to a friend or to someone when you aren't around. Or better yet she should talk to her husband,
Hope everyone's family and friend get with the program soon. Being pregnant has made me realize that I do not know the story and not to judge or give an opinion unless asked for it.
My BF is to my husband. Since we weren't expecting to ever be able to be pregnant, this pregnancy has been a major surprise. We have had to move up our time table of finishing our basement since we only have a one bedroom home at the moment. Well nothing has been done since December 26th. Nothing! He informed me that we couldn't finish putting up the sheetrock/drywall until the plumbing was done, which couldn't be done until the tub was installed. Well he procrastinated for a whole month and did nothing. Finally I get him on board to at least order the damn tub. He brings it up to two of his brothers for their opinion (they are contractors), of course they say I can get it cheaper, let me get a hold of my rep....which takes two weeks!!! Finally we order it and it takes another two weeks to get it to us. Of course today he goes to pick it up, and he never bothered to checked the dimensions to make sure he could get it inside the house. Big surprise, it won't fit!! Not unless I remove some of my kitchen cabinets or somehow take out a closet. It's also too big to fit in any window. Fantastic!!! What a great waste of over two months!
We are almost half way to our due date and there is no place for baby to sleep or anything expect our dinning room. That's wonderful. I get that it's not the worst thing since we can make room, but come on! Help a girl out. I need a partner in this, not a headache or someone that I need to treat as a child and guide. It's so frustrating. At this point I am really worried about how things will be going forward. He is a wonderful guy, but I'm starting to think he bit off more than he can chew and really wish we had bought a different house.
michelle_shelle You have a lot more time than you think you do. Baby is going to be in your room for the first several weeks, at least, if not longer. And you won't really need a real bathtub until baby can sit up on their own. For most that's around 6 months. We used a plastic tub in the kitchen sink until around 6-7 months, it might have even been a little longer than that because I hated our old bathroom. DD is 20 months and we finally just finished renovating our bathroom and have a functioning bath tub that I feel good putting her in.

I'm done now, I think.
Ladies, WE ARE AWESOME! Even when all we see if the number on the scale.
-a heart at peace gives life to the body-
Thank god we do not have any living expenses (the shop for the business is attached to the building and this was built before I met SO), otherwise we would be totally looking for something. Right now it will be fine because I'm not working and we need to save money! People keep asking me what I'm decorating our nursery as and I'm like I'm not, we don't have one!
My bitch today is the same as @lotsofsunshine I have a headache that just won't go away. I just made coffee at 4:30 in the afternoon hoping that would help!

Tonight I dropped my phone in the driveway, it fell on its back but of course the screen shattered and is unusable. Half of the screen is black and so I am using an old iPhone 4 until we take care of the insurance on it to get a new one. It's super laggy because it hasn't been used in forever. First world problems.
we need a van and Saturday night my clutch went out on my car unexpectedly. I secretly think that my fiancé broke it because he is an aggressive shifter lol! Well anyway, that kind of screwed us for our plans to trade my car in for the moment, but my car is also newer and nicer than my fiances. I had to drive his car today and discovered that his turn signals don't work! I felt really trashy driving around trying to use hand signals so that people wouldn't crash into me! Today after a depressing weekend of car searching to no avail, I gently suggested that maybe we sell his car for $5000 and use that for a great down payment so that our payment
for the new car is way lower. He said "ugh. This is just so unfair to me. Everything is about you and the kids now and I just don't know if I like it." Well 1) my dream car is not a minivan either but I can't fit 3 car seats in a honda accord and 2) I told him two months before I got pregnant that I was done having kids and he pouted.
I'm trying to hold back from screaming at him because I really want him to sell his car so I figured I would post here instead. Better already! Haha
1. Now I'm out of a home because we refuse to go back to a different unit in that complex.
2. I will be lodging a formal complaint against the on-call doctor I called Sunday morning to ask questions about smoke inhalation. The medics checked me out at the scene, but I was still going to feel better after I heard it from my doctors office (not my actual OB). This lady was so incredibly rude to me. I explained the situation of what happened and her response was to cut me off and say, "If you aren't having any symptoms, then your baby isn't having any symptoms and that means that your baby is fine." When I tried to tell her my concerns about going back into the apartment later that day to try and salvage our stuff, she cut me off again and in the snidest tone of voice said, "Hun, if you are that concerned about it, just wear a mask." Lady, I get it that I interrupted your Sunday morning. But don't talk to a pregnant lady that way when she has just lost her home. All I was looking for was some assurance. Thankfully I have a checkup later today, so hopefully I can hear baby's heartbeat and know that it is okay.
I'm in Arizona so I'm planning on staying in my house from May to August and eating lots of Popsicles.
