Re: WTF Wednesday

  • WTF goes to life right now. I've officially hit "the wall" at work and don't feel like doing a damn thing. 3 more weeks to go!
  • WTF goes out to me. I woke up this morning feeling so refreshed and ready to go. Actually slept through the night, and didn't feel tired at all. About 10 minutes after I got to work, all I could think about was going back to sleep :(
  • Loading the player...
  • WTF stomach. After a week of no appetite today you're insatiable. I've already eaten all of my snacks and it's not even lunch. Now I'm going to have to walk downstairs to buy more food. I think that deserves chocolate

  • WTF to my acid reflux that is so bad it's causing me to vomit.  I'm eating tiny meals and have gestational diabetes on top of it, and it's still painful.

    Only thing that helped mine was eating tums before AND after each meal.
  • WTF to the thunderstorm we got last night that not only kept me up all night but caused water to leak in our finished basement. Thank god my dad had off today and could come pull up the carpet and move furniture so I could at least start drying stuff out until DH gets home from work to start cutting away at the drywall to figure out where the leak is. Not what I want to be dealing with at 36+4! 
  • WTF to raising the life insurance policy rates for my plan due to my weight...and NOT taking the fact that I'm 9 months pregnant into the equation! Eff you! I'm carrying another human being INSIDE my body!

    Ugh that sucks.  My aunt and Uncle live in Point and their house was struck by lightning last night (they are okay, but the house is unsafe to live in due to the damage).  I have other friends hit by the same system that dealt with tornadoes from it.  Hello spring :/
  • WTF to my body. I'm in so much pain right now that I just want to curl up into a ball and cry. I need this baby out of me but at the same time I'm just going to suck it up, because he needs to stay in my uterus longer and fully develop everything. I just want everything to stop hurting. Now I understand all of the moms who quit working a month before their EDD. DS was such an easy pregnancy that I kept thinking that maybe other moms were just wimps. Nope. Not wimps. Smarter than me right now. Seriously wish I could just be put on bedrest and start maternity leave early. Not that I would feel much better at home... Laying down hurts, but it hurts less than walking. At least if I was home I could try and nap.

    WTF to my doctor's office for emailing me at 5:02pm last night to tell me to come in and see a nurse for the possible carpal tunnel pain, when they close at 5pm. I already have an appt for tomorrow, so I didn't call and ask to be seen today. Now I'm kind of wishing I had, because even though I got more sleep last night, I feel like absolute shit today.

  • WTF to our lender. We are buying a house and really wanted to close and move before baby comes. But they are taking their sweet time on EVERYTHING. I'm so mad! They have had everything they needed from us for over a week and they have yet to send out disclosures or order the appraisal. Grrr
  • WTF to these contractions. This shit needs to stop because I've got things to do today and they are making it difficult.

  • WTF nurse at my OB... I sent them a message about some super high BP readings I got, that I had confirmed by a manual reading at the health department, and her response was "since you went up to be monitored yesterday, it may be a good idea for you to go up there again. Let me decide if this is what you decide to do, or if you are just going to stay home." Ummm... how about ask a physician what I NEED to do and then tell me. I live over an hour from the hospital so I don't want to drive all the way there just to turn around again. GIVE ME A REAL RECOMMENDATION LADY! I emailed her back asking her consult with a physician.

  • Wtf to employee! Sunday no call no show leaving me to man the store alone! Called all staff to come help on their day off and luckily 1 could come in. Luckily!!! Then on monday he went in and asks to leave early because he's sick. Monday I was off and luckily didn't have to go in, but he texts me saying our manager is threatening his job. I have no sympathy for you! You screwed me over on Sunday! Come to work and your job wouldn't be threatened!

    I hate when they call that late! I got a "we really need to talk to you" voicemail at 4:50 one day, and of course when I called back at 4:55 I got the answering machine.

  • WTF DD! Why are you fighting nap time for the second day in a row?!?! I can't handle this again! Please just lay down and take your nap!

  • WTF to my boss... I have 19 working days left... no I do not want to help you with a new project that has a quick turn around time (due April 4th)... I think my remaining days would be better spent working on our federal annual reporting that no one else in the company is familiar with! Seriously?!
  • WTF doctor? Seriously, you cancel my appointment for next week RIGHT AFTER I EMAIL YOU ABOUT MY BACK/HIP PAIN?! Now I have to talk to my boss about changing the times on my time off for the 24th, since the earliest they could get me in was 11:15, and my original appointment was for 3:45... Which means I'm probably going to have to go back to work after my appointment instead of going home and resting... Which is fine, but it means I'll likely be using more vacation time than I originally wanted to.

    This is my Wtf too. Woke up ( again!) last night choking on acid reflux causing me to vomit. Ugghh. Where's the relief?!?
  • Wtf Dd why now are you crawling out of your crib?  I wanted to make it to the new house before you did this.  WTF to DH for teaching her how to climb in.  Did it not register that she'd eventually want to climb out?

    Wtf to DH for having a meltdown today about all that he has to do.  I have no sympathy.  I extended your stay by two days.  TWO.  Get over yourself and just come home.  You stopped working for three weeks, no shit you are going to have a million voice mails and emails from the business.  Why did you think I only wanted you gone two weeks?  I don't think I can handle his woe is me once he gets back.

  • WTF shitty people. I had 2 stores get hit by different quick change artists Sunday and Monday. One store stopped the loss and the other did not. I get to the store that didn't prevent the loss to do the investigation this morning and within 2 hours I have 2 different stores get hit by grab and runs! 4 stores in 4 days!

    Juggling two case reports over the phone, a visiting OPs regional in the store and trying to investigate to make sure this was quick change versus employee theft meant no food until now. 

    I love my job, but geeze can we spread the crimes out? Lord knows they won't go away completely!

    @fbanke42 I'm right there with you! With my son I worked past my due date with very few issues. This time my back is completely KILLING me and I am not exaggerating when I say I can barely walk. I am in tears about 50% of the time. It's horrible. I also can't chase or pick up my toddler, so when I am alone with him we basically just sit inside. I feel like a horrible mom and teacher and citizen. Ugh. Please be over.

    I hope you both feel better soon! Not to brag (please don't take it as such), but I actually feel really good. And I am SO SICK AND TIRED of everyone at work treating me like I am disabled. And asking me every day why I am still there. I am training my replacement and she asks me 30 times a day how I am feeling and how I must  need a break and she can't believe I am still there.

    I am not due for another 2 weeks and I can easily come to work. Why would I waste my time off if that wasn't the case? Pregnancy is different for everyone and I am an adult and can make choices. Please stop treating me as if I am an invalid and shouldn't be at work. I need the distraction! Plus, there are contractors at my house all day, every day and I don't even have a usable couch. Why would I stay  home?!
    Yes, that was me last time! And I totally judged other pregnant people as "weaklings"... this is clearly karma. It's so different this time!

    OMG...our life. Except it isn't just nap time. It's bed time. It has gotten so bad, with the fighting of going to sleep and the waking up at night screaming, that I actually took her to the doctor to make sure she isn't sick (since she inherited her dad's ability to show little to no symptoms when she's sick aside from the actual illness and maybe disrupted sleep). She is NOT sick...just in a terribly timed developmental phase. We are at our wits end and do not even know what to do.

  • Wtf! Went to the dr today hoping id hear some good progressing news. I don't know what made me think I'd magically be dilated and hear an oh hey they baby should be here soon. Instead I got a "well your about 1.5cm dilated 60% effaced". Then fought with my SO. I am so over this it's not even funny. :(
  • @sarahufl I felt worse from weeks 28-32 than I do now. I can tell she is pushing down further and further but the more unmanageable symptoms have dissipated. Still excited for the day when I'm no longer sharing my body with a foreign invader, though!

    oh, trust me- I have my days. And I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore (WHY do people talk about how much they love pregnancy?!) I could REALLY do without the crotch pain and burning, but most of my symptoms don't keep me from going about my day (just slower than normal!)
  • @Missingchampagne that sucks. I'm surprised they didn't drug him up too much to work for a couple of days! My dad tore his ring finger off and the hospital doped him up on a ton of morphine before sending him to a specialist two hours away (in addition to the hydrocodone he took before letting mom drive him to the hospital and after searching for his finger for 10 minutes). Do they think he'll lose any mobility or can they repair the tendon?

    Idk how you are doing it! DH took a week of vacation last week so her schedule got messed up and she got TONS of daddy cuddles. I know that's what is causing this nap time issue since he went back to work yesterday, and he's been here for bedtime and there's no problem. But still...this sucks. I even put in Tinkerbell in hopes she'd fall asleep after watching a little bit. Nope. Fail. 

    I really really hope your DD starts doing better at nap time and bedtime! I'm not sure I would still be sane at this point if I was going through what you're going through.

  • WTF  to my coworker who is constantly in the bathroom blowing it up. There is only one small bathroom in my school that we share, and it's in the teachers lounge (not at all a lounge but that's what we call it). Since starting my 3rd tri, i'm in the bathroom every 45 min - hour and 1/2 in between each change of class because I have to pee so bad. There are times she sees me walking into the room and will go into the bathroom where I'm stuck waiting and nearly peeing my pants. She then sprays this horrid spray which is supposed to deodorize but makes me gag to the point I've thrown up a couple of times from it. I literally take all of a min to use the bathroom, so I get so annoyed when she wont just let me go in real quick esp given my current 36 week pregnant situation.  
  • WTF to my colleague who is learning some work basics by trying to assist in my online queue of student files to work on. Except she keeps making mistakes, requesting docs from students when I've already done the work, leaving incomplete information so I don't know what she has or hasn't done yet so I just have to do it myself....basically not assisting me at all and making even MORE work for me.  Just leave my $hit alone, I have too much to get done in the next 3 1/2 weeks.

    Also WTF to my swollen feet....I look like I'm about to go drop off a ring in Mordor.

    Too early to tell. If he can keep it completely still and it's a partial tear, it can heal on its own with time. If it's a partial tear but he pulls some superman shit, overexerting himself is likely to turn a full into a complete tear. Then surgery will be the only option. He already "doesn't want to" see a podiatrist, or miss work, or do anything that would make me less worried about him basically.

    Guilt trip. How does he expect to help you care for an infant or play with his child if his mobility is permanently limited because he was too damn stubborn to take care of himself? Obviously he would adapt, but he doesn't have to know that you know that ;)

    My wtf is also going out to my Dr's office. Got a lot of promising signs that I'm going to go any minute (fingers crossed) but they are so shitty when it comes to patient care. Every question they asked me they cut me off with "ok ok." Then I was cut off with "oh that's normal, before I was done even asking any questions. Then I had an internal exam after the US (saw baby sucking on his lower lip and my heart finally melted a little bit lol) I specifically requested to use the stirrups because the Dr doesn't always pull them out, and my hips are feeling like murder. Was informed Dr doesn't use them and to just put my feet up on the table. Fine. Assholes. Then he comes in, puts a glove on and sticks his hand inside me without any lubrication. Wtf. And ouch! Probably why I started bleeding later on now that I'm thinking about it >.> 

    For a real update on how soon I'm supposedly going: 3cm dilated, 70% effaced (I messed that up on the FB group, sorry) and LO is measuring 8LB 2oz according to US. Dr also walked if I wanted to schedule an induction on Monday. Uh... No? Why? I guess I shouldn't be offended by that... Other moms would be relieved to have that option at this point, but I just want him to come when he is ready.

    Eta: words are hard...
  • WTF also goes out to my SIL, who I'm pretty sure is pregnant, since that's pretty much the only reason she EVER goes to a doctor.

    I let my MIL know that I now have an appointment tomorrow, since they want to make sure that the back/hip pain isn't labor, and she informed me that she would be home after she dropped off my SIL at her doctors appointment at 4. She didn't say what the appointment was for, but my SIL is obsessed with being pregnant and has faked it three times for attention... I'm pretty sure she had a fit both of the times that we announced that we were having a baby, since it meant hers wasn't the oldest grandchild and that she wasn't the one with multiple children first. My BIL pretty much just lets her do what she wants and never questions anything, even when he's told everyone he doesn't want more kids until they move out of his ILs place. 

    Why is this a WTF? I can't have a pregnancy to myself. I just want to have 9 months of being the only one in DH's family to be having a baby. With DS, there were three other people who were pregnant when I was... Which means a lot of comparing pregnancies, labor, growth, etc.
