I did not see this started yet, and I have such a good one! 

Our electricity cables was stolen AGAIN last night. We live in a security estate - which basically means we pay a lot of money to hide away from crime in this backwards country. But nope, still, they get to us - and this is the second time in less than a month. 

Oh! And then we get to the lisencing centre at 6am this morning (this was after we woke up due to the power going out at 2:30) to see that they are closed. With no warning. 

WTF Wednesday you suck!!

Re: WTF Wednesday 13/04

  • WTF to my pelvis. I can barely walk because it hurts so bad. Today of course is one of the day's my daughter isn't in daycare (we have to take her 3 days a week to hold her spot even though I'm on bed rest). I'm seriously considering paying for her to go full time again until I have the baby because she's only 10 months old and just started crawling. So every time she gets stuck or goes too far away I have to get up and move her back into the living room. I'm so excited for her to become more mobile, I just wish it wasn't when I'm alone with her and in so much pain.

  • My bank. I transfered  money from one account to another to pay my taxes. They still have a hold on the money but sent my taxes through and now I can't use that account and have been dealing with them all morning trying to get it figured out. Mind you I transfered the money Monday of last week, it was available Thursday, but apparently they put a hold on it again yesterday... It's a mess and I'm highly annoyed! One more thing to deal with this week...
  • @Charissadeats Wow!! Again?! Why do people even steal those things? I had never even heard of that before until you said it happened to you. That's nuts.

  • Thank goodness it is Wednesday, I needed a place to post this story. All day yesterday people were telling me how tired I looked, how I looked so ready to have a baby, etc. I woke up, tried a litttttttttle harder with my appearance because I wanted to try to avoid more unsolicited comments, and I get to work and my secretary told me I am bigger this pregnancy than my last.


    OK lady, that was 3 years ago. I gained 47 lbs. I have been more careful and I am 17 lbs under my delivery weight last time. Not appreciated, and not ok.

  • @AdorkablePixie They sell it to even bigger criminals for scrap parts. It's just another sad example of how desperate some people are in SA. It's unfortunately a common occurence. 
  • @That1didntcount people are damn fools. I can't believe what they will say...

  • I have a few WTF's today...
    to my principal, who emailed me and told me she had good news so I should call, then I call and she isn't available. I know it's probably that my contract was renewed so just fucking email me. 
    To the office manager, who when I called to find out the good news said she "had some stuff for me" and maybe I could come on by sometime soon. I live an hour away from my school and part of my reason for going on leave at the start of my 9th month was so I didn't have to make that drive anymore!
    To the month of April, for being soooo damn long! And to my paycheck, which doesn't go through until the 25th, which means I have to wait a week and a half to schedule the pedicure and prenatal massage I wanted to get next week.
    and do DH (but just a little). He didn't realize baby showers could be co-Ed and now he's sad that I decided not to have one. It made me feel sad that I'd taken that away from him. I gotta think of a way to make it up to him.
  • WTF to my muscles and my family today. 
    I woke up this morning and my husband hadn't gotten home from work yet (he works nights). So I tried getting out of bed and was immediately shot back down with the most intense pain I have ever felt in my stomach. At the very top of my belly, between both sets of ribs, it felt like someone took a shard of glass and ripped me open. I tried for 20 minutes until my husband came home and finally rolled me out of bed so I wouldn't have to use my stomach muscles to get up. Thank god for that man. Has anyone else experienced pain like this? It seemed to get better after some massaging and relaxing. 
    WTF to my family because I'm feeling like this pregnancy just doesn't matter. This is my first child, and my parents second grandchild (first granddaughter). I moved to Illinois a year and a half ago with my husband because he's a mining engineer. My family all still lives in Utah and none of them have visited us since we moved. My brother and SIL are pregnant with their second (also a girl) but they are 6 weeks behind me in their pregnancy. I've been worried this whole time that my parents care about my brother's future daughter more than they care about mine. With only 6 weeks separating the DDs, I was nervous they might meet my brother's baby before they meet mine. That may seem selfish or silly, but it really makes me feel like they won't care about my daughter. Then yesterday my SIL informed me that they want to schedule her CS only 6 days after my DD. Is that a real possibility?! Because she'll only be 35 weeks pregnant at that time and I didn't think you could schedule a CS before the baby was considered full term. Is this a thing? If so, it makes it seem inevitable that my parents will meet and fall in love with their second granddaughter before they even get to meet their first. 
  • WTF Bump update. I think it's weird that the bump app changed all of it's fruits/vegetables with the update. Before they updated the app I was a winter melon at 37 weeks, now I'm a head of romaine lettuce and will be a winter melon next week. My H weirdly loves watching those weekly videos with me every Friday but looks like they've taken those away. In general I can't find anything and I'm not a fan.
  • WTF florida snowbirds! Go the F home. I seriously just had to walk probably a half mile because there were no parking spots literally right across from the shop I was going to. I hate you all and you can all never come back to Florida for all I care. Its a building rage - not just this one situation. 
  • @that1didntcount Who does that?!  Why can't people just keep their mouths shut??

    @LadySamLady I noticed that too!  I was a pineapple at 31 weeks according to TB but now 35 weeks is a pineapple??

    My WTF is being expected to write "thank you for all of your help" to my MIL in her thank you for the shower, when in reality she arrive 2+ hours AFTER the agreed upon time for set up (she lives 5 minutes away from shower venue), made a big stink on the phone when I called her asking her to bring some cling wrap that we had forgotten, and then stood around while everyone put the venue back together and cleaned up, then left without saying goodbye to me or my family.  Can't I just write "thanks for coming?"....

  • @clw617 - Rachel put her pinkie in his chin dimple ;)
  • Wtf to me for repeatedly stubbing the same toe. If I have to be this clumsy can't I hit another toe?
  • @emsnedds it seems weird they would schedule a c-sect that early. Sorry your family is being lame :neutral: have your parents made plans to visit yet?

    Thank you, it's helpful to know I'm not the only one that finds the situation lame and disappointing. I'm still wondering what the earliest time is you can schedule a CS with a healthy pregnancy because 35 weeks just seems really early. 
    Unfortunately, it sounds like they are going to wait until I go into labor before they make any plans to come visit or see the baby :( 
  • Sorry, this is gonna be long...

    WTF to my OB office. I go in weekly at this point because they have me labeled as high risk because of my blood pressure (white coat syndrome; my BP shoots up when I go to the doctors because I get severely anxious but its perfect at home) and normally I'm there for about an hour. I get a weekly sonogram, then do my NST, then meet with the doctor to discuss. Despite everything look perfect with the baby and me, minus my spikes in BP, they want to induce me a week or so early, so my husband snuck out of work to come to my appointment so that he could get more information and we could put his mind at ease about the whole thing. Well, the whole OB office took this opportunity to make itself look as incompetent as possible for him. We ended up being there TWO AND A HALF HOURS. First it just took them forever to call me back to the room. Then they left us in the exam room forever. The nurse either never looked at my chart or can't read because she had no idea I was supposed to do the NST, she wanted to swab me again for GBS which I did last week, and then when she finally brought me over to do the NST, she couldn't figure out how to hook up the machine properly. So she hooked up it, couldn't find the my baby's heartbeat, made me hold the monitor in a specific spot even though it wasn't picking anything up, and said she'd let the doctor know it was really working because the baby was so active but they'd let the test run for 20 minutes anyway. WHAT? That makes no sense and also the baby was not moving that I could feel, so lets not blame the fetus for this. So of course I wasted 20 minutes and the doctor came in to check and literally nothing had been recorded. So she finds the baby's heartbeat in like 10 seconds and sets me up to do the test over. At this point, I'm starving, my back hurts from reclining, and my husband is frustrated because nobody is doing their job properly and he is not reassured. I guess the doctor ended up getting tied up with another patient, because she didn't come back for over 30 minutes. She did say that the NST looked great, so that was good, but then I asked her to go over the induction process, risks vs. benefits, etc. for my husband, since that was why he was there, and she must have been flustered because she did a horrible job explaining. She didn't really tell us any risks or benefits, she kind of just talked in circles, and nothing was answered. The good part was that she did reassure me that since everything has been looking really good, that she will try to push the induction date off a little bit more, which is really awesome. Oh and then the nurse came back to take my BP and I'm 99% sure she did it wrong because I was flustered and agitated and hungry, but my BP reading came back perfect. Which works in my favor at this point, so I didn't fight it. But now my husband doesn't trust this place and is annoyed, which is just adding stress on to me since normally they are pretty great and now I feel like I have to defend them to him.

    OH and WTF to Verizon, too. They promised us they wouldn't have to do any digging to install Fios for us and then we get home to multicolored spray paint all over the yard and the street AND in front of my neighbors house, all in preparation for a dig to install. So we called and cancelled out of frustration and now we have spray paint all over our yard and street. Basically today has been really stupid. But at least my baby is looking good!!!
  • WTF weather?! We had baseball sized hail hit us last night. Praise all that is holy that our cars are okay and windows didn't get broken. Lots of dents though. We have glass ceilings at work that wasn't as fortunate. Everything is destroyed. It's been a fun day.

  • WTF to HR Block online filing. My usual tax lady (my mom) quit HR Block a couple of years ago so last year I filed online myself and it worked out fine. She double checked and it was good. This year, I'm like yeah I should definitely be able to do my taxes online. Hahaha. Nope. I tried using the chat assistant and that dude sucked. He seriously took 20 minutes to answer between each question and he just wasn't getting it. I know that I will be getting money back and this guy totally screwed it up so that I was owing thousands and thousands of dollars. Serious WTF right there. I was so pissed I ended the chat and I called my mom because normally she helps me. Well, she was like "What?! Don't do your own taxes this year!" lol. She's funny. But she said that the reason she isn't helping is because our return this year is so super complicated that too many things could get screwed up... like the online guy did. I thought it was just because she lives so far away. Ugh. Wish she could have explained this to me and DH earlier because I have spent a good 12 hours trying to do it myself.

  • WTF to one of the teachers at my kid's preschool. Every time I see her (I do.my best to avoid her altogether) she asks me how I am feeling. I say ok. She then tells me she never got sick, for the 500th time. She then asks if I've tried sea bands, because she heard they work. 

    Lady. I've been pregnant for 33 weeks now. I haven't felt 'sick' for oh, I don't know, 20 weeks. Despite me telling her, multiple times, that I am not 'sick', she still says the same exact 3 sentences to me.
    On another note, she also has NO skills when it comes to speaking with another adult, so I may give her a little slack. I wonder how she gets by in life...
  • Re: sea bands. My DH thought they were for the baby cuz they were so small. I bought them. Now, I'm a bit of a crunchy lady, but those things are crap.
  • WTF to our cat...we also have a dog who eats special tooth cleaning food (think BIG kibbles that force her to really chew rather than just gobble it down). Well this week, the cat started helping himself in the dog food! These kibbles are massive for him, and he's NEVER done that in the 6 years we've had the dog (we've had him for 9). DH also caught him giving himself a bath in the baby's crib the other day...so now we're keeping the door closed. The crib has been there and set up for over 2 months..never went before. So I don't know what else to expect as baby comes...
  • WTF to my body. I started seeing flashing lights that kept multiplying until my entire field of vision was blurry, moving lights. Plus LO wasn't moving, so I was terrified we were both dying. Turns out I was just dehydrated and needed to drink ten million glasses of water. 
  • WTF to my midwifes office. They have an on call midwife. I'm at the hospital right now bc I had to bring back my 24 hour collection and have my BP monitored a little bit. I've been here since 4:30.

    All my labs came back normal. No protein in my urine at all. Blood work came back fine. BP is holding steady... Not as low as I normally was but not super high, but they're pretty sure pre-eclampsia is ruled out and I will probably just need to monitor BP.

    The nurse here called for the on call midwife I think an hour and a half ago at least if not longer and they still haven't called back. I can't go home until they call back and let them know what to do with me. No offense but sitting around for 5+ hours in an extremely uncomfortable bed is not my idea of fun so I really wish they would call back already so I can go home.
  • @kidshrink - our cat started to do the same thing in the crib.  DH thought it was "cute" and I said "hell no!".  He didn't even think of the possibility of the cat being in there when LO is.  We have a generic spray bottle filled with water that we have squirted her with once on her hind end (I refuse to do it in her face, and I use the spray, not stream).  She used to go on the counter and after squirting her a few times she will now jump off if I even open the cabinet under the sink.  However, she stares DH down when he tries because he hasn't done it to her before.  I would recommend trying it and see if it helps!

    I like the foil in the crib method for annoying kitties. If there is enough time before baby comes then just line the crib with foil so the next few times the cat jumps in it will make that annoying crinkle noise and freak him/her out from trying many more times.  The benefits are that the cat wont associate you with the punishment so you won't get the nasty attitude that some cats get. Our cat is too smart for his own good. When we try those sorts of direct punishments that come from us he knows that he can just wait till we are gone to get away with things. Its very annoying trying to come up with things that will deter him without our intervention but it works really well for us and our clever kitty. :)

    We caught my cat laying on the boppy pillow in the crib sleeping! Both pets have had NO interest in the baby stuff until I started my leave. 
  • Wtf to the bump app. It keeps logging me out even though I only bump using my phone. 

    I had another Wtf but pregnancy brain got the best of me...
  • WTF to everyone riding the train. I take the train into Manhattan from Brooklyn for work and it is so rare for anyone to offer a seat, they look up at me sheepishly and then pretend to not notice that I have a giant alien belly. I like to stare at these people who look and then pretend to not notice just to make them uncomfortable. Fortunately I only have one stop but tonight while schlepping groceries home on a crowded train I was ready to cut a b***h. 
  • If its any help for those with kitty issues, we caught out cat sleeping in the bassinet and then the cot a few times before LO came along, and were a bit worried, but as soon as LO had slept there, our cat had absolutely no interest in going anywhere near either, or LO for that matter. Even now she avoids LO. So I'm not worried about no 2.

    I usually just call them assholes and stick my bump in their faces. The women that do it piss me off to no end. You would think they would have more compassion.

    Im probably jinxing myself but my cat has been good about the crib. I put one of her beds in he nursery so she has a "spot"' that she can call her own. Worth a shot to see if it works for those of you will cats jumping in the crib.

  • My cat is more interested in claiming the hiding spot under the crib.  She's been locked in the nursery a few times because of it. My dog, on the other hand, is obsessive about the baby, to the point where she will try and physically shove herself between my husband and me if he is in her "spot" next to the baby bump and stare him down if he doesn't move.  She appears to feel that she is more entitled to baby bump time than he is.  I'm wondering how she will react when he's actually here.

    I know it's annoying, but the bit about your dog made me smile. My dog is the same way, loves to sleep with her head against the bump!

    Here's my WTF - why would you sell a glider/ottoman set, tell me it's still available, give me your phone number and instructions to call when I'm on my way to pick it up, and then not answer your phone or call back? Back to square one on finding a glider.
  • Mine came in near the end of the day...my parents (who live 30 min away and thus we are relying on them when baby comes to watch DS and help get the dogs to doggy care) decided they wanted to take a vacation at the beginning of May (the 4th - 10th). My mom did call and ask but really emphasized if it was ok for them to miss Mother's Day with us. So I said yeah, no biggie. Then one hour later I realized....May 10th is only 2 weeks before my due date. DS came early (38 w 4 d - after 1 day of labor), and this one is measuring two weeks ahead, so then I started to freak out. They already have booked the trip in that one hour's time!!!

    So it turned into a big fight because when DS was born they also had a scheduled trip and flew out to NYC the day after he was born (which they deny which is ridiculous but whatever). We didn't have another kid so it wasn't as big of a deal, but they offered to be the help this time. My mom kept saying she wouldn't move the trip up because the weather could be worse (they are going to Oregon) and what if they baby came three weeks early? Then the problem wasn't solved at all.

    After crying a lot and talking DH we ask our friends, who agree right away to help if something does happen where I go into labor early. Of course after that my parents call to say they will cancel the trip (WTF, why at this point when you were so mean about it?) We said to forget about it; our friends agreed to help and I didn't want to hear about it if the baby doesn't make an appearance during those dates. I don't want to feel guilty about you missing a vacation at this point. So they agree.

    Just got a text 30 min ago saying they cancelled it. >:[

    I'm grateful but worried now that I won't hear the end of it if baby doesn't come early.
