@bamacoop We didn't get any done either. My dr required a meeting with genetic counseling before any first tri testing would be done so we declined because we don't have any risk factors. The dr actually also talked us into declining 2nd tri quad screen. While normally i'm all for getting as much info as possible, she basically framed it as: Don't get the blood test if you wouldn't get the amnio, and don't get the amnio if you wouldn't terminate depending on the results. I don't know if that is sound logic or not, but we declined based on that reasoning. I don't think I would want to risk miscarriage with the amnio, given that worst case the blood results indicate a 50% chance of something being wrong. The dr. also said that she's seen many healthy pregnancies "ruined" (i.e. the parents are really stressed out the entire time) because the blood test indicated an elevated chance of something being wrong but they didn't do further testing so it just led to lots of unnecessary stress.
@bamacoop no testing for me (as of right now, probably won't change)
I took a break from work and am sitting outside eating an ice cream cone. Someone sat down at the next table over, upwind and started smoking. The square in non-smoking. Now I have to find a new shady spot! WTF
I was actually waiting for the twatwaffle thread to come up because I love that word, but it never showed its face yesterday. WTF to my friend's boyfriend for staying at MY house during a weeknight and proclaiming, "I can't wait until we get to my friend's house and all the awkward hanging out with married pregnant people is over." He said this. To me. He must have gone temporarily blind and forgot who he was talking to?
@CopperBoom86 You win the wft of the day! I laughed out loud. I was thinking the same thing about the picture too.., like "Is it just me or do those look red?" I would protest the whole thing too!
@CopperBoom86 Oh dear! I feel rage-y for you! Men just completely don't get it sometimes.
My WTF also goes to my DH. So Monday night I started running a fever & had what I thought was a stomach virus. Yesterday my fever got progressively higher & I called my OB because I was getting worried. She was also quite concerned & gave me instructions on some things to do, & told me to go to my primary care doctor this morning to get tested for flu & such. I felt horrible all day yesterday, in addition to being worried sick (Dang you Google)! Anyway, DH bought a used corvette over the weekend, because obviously that's what we need right now. (He's high on the WTF/Twat waffle list this week). When he gets off work he doesn't bother to call or text but goes to the car audio place to talk to them about a new stereo. And obviously show off. Gets home at 5:45. Well, we play trivia every Tuesday night with a group of friends at a local restaurant. He leaves at 6:30 to go play trivia. I got a half hearted, "Do you want me to cancel?" before he left. No, I'll just lay here by myself in misery, don't mind me..Gets home at 9:30. Thankfully my fever broke around 5:30 this morning but I still feel weak & exhausted & just generally not good. Went ahead & went to the dr. today & they're thinking it's strep throat now. Came home after the dr & went to sleep. Text DH at 3:30 to ask how his day was & he tells me he's on his way to his friend's house (when he should be at work). I asked why & he said because he got tickets to the Rangers/Astros game tonight so they're about to head to Dallas. (2 hrs away). Didn't bother to text or call to tell me this, or maybe see if his pregnant/sick wife needed anything or just even have a fleeting thought that MAYBE now might not be the best time to go. I am so sad & so frustrated & he sees nothing wrong. Says he knew I would be asleep & he didn't want to wake me, so that's why he didn't text or call. Am I wrong to feel so upset about this? I think he's blaming it completely on hormones but I think I'm justified. Just seems so selfish & insensitive to me.
@CopperBoom86@Kaessi I think you are both justified, and I am very sorry you're having to deal with such high levels of douchebaggery!
WTF stoners today... c'money guys, it's not like we don't already know you're stoners, and it's not like you wouldn't be smoking today even if it weren't 4-20. Just stay off the roads and don't buy up all my Reeses today.
Errrr @Kaessi you are totally justified. I would be piiiiissed. Honestly, I would probably blow up at DH for behavior like that but I would not suggest that course of action if you can avoid it. If you think you can sit down and have a calm conversation about why his choices hurt your feelings and why you especially need his support right now, he may be more open to accepting that he messed up. I find that it helps to write down all of my points/why I'm upset because it helps me present them more rationally and makes it easier to remember everything. Best of luck in however you decide to handle the situation and kudos to you if you do anything other than rip his head off.
Wtf to my body?! Today my mom and I went shopping for four hours and I've literally been sprawled out on my bed for hours, my body screaming in pain. Looks like those little walks around the mall I've been doing aren't enough. Need to exercise more.
Thanks @AllyTheKid & @agogo1, I appreciate the empathy! I'm so exhausted & weak right now that I don't even really have the energy to be pissed, I'm just really, really sad at the moment. May be another story when I see him though!
@kaessi you are totally justified. This would be poor decision making even if you weren't pregnant. But, the fact that you are makes it uncalled for. He could've at least filled you in beforehand. If you hadn't texted him, when was he planning to tell you exactly?
MEN. I hope you at least have a night of Netflix and whatever you want for dinner.
@Kaessi Um, you are absolutely justified in feeling the way you do. That is beyond frustrating. I'm sorry you're sick and pregnant and have to deal with that
I had a urine test last week on Monday or Tuesday (don't remember). Said it would take three days. Never heard back. Got a call today *after five* saying to call back to discuss my lab results. Which of course I can't do because they are closed (yes, I called to check). Thanks folks. Plus, they didn't post the results on the Patient Portal, which would have been easiest.
Thanks @F47, @LGW2015 & @rozANDbenSINCE2001. This is typically not really like him so I'm not sure what's going on but I'm doing my best to keep the crazy rage at bay. I'll let y'all know later how successful I am! And yes I started on antibiotics today so hoping they kick in soon & I'll start feeling better. Thanks for the well wishes!
I posted this in the pregnancy brain thread, so sorry if you're reading it twice. But, I'm just that angry.
I was off work yesterday, so I went out and bought all of the ingredients for a lentil soup I'd been wanting to try. After I got DS down for his nap, I spent an hour and five minutes chopping all of the veggies and getting everything into the crockpot. When I went to bed, the soup was still steaming, so I transferred it into a cool pot and left it on the counter. I asked DH to put it in the fridge in an hour.
An hour later I was still awake, so I texted him to remind him to put it in the fridge. He replied with, "ok."
I was looking forward to this soup for lunch today (we didn't actually eat it yesterday, just cooked it). And, dinner for that matter. I literally was thinking about it as I did my makeup.
Walked downstairs this morning and GUESS WHERE I SEE THE SOUP. Obviously, in the pot, on the counter. The rage is palpable.
***UPDATE***: DH just sent me a picture of a fresh batch of lentil soup. After I left for work he rushed to the store for the ingredients we didn't have and made it. He has almost redeemed himself.
I just read this out loud to my DH because this is totally something I would be unreasonably angry over. He said: "I bet you would get along with that girl." Hahaha.
WTF Mother Nature, we have 48 wild fires in our area right now. It's April and already so dry. My parents Are evacuated and my SIL too. I had horses sleeping in my driveway cause there is nowhere for them to go.

My WTF, accidentally posted on the wrong thread haha (wtf brain?): WTF people smoking right outside my office window on a really nice day?? I guess someone else complained before I had to bc administration put out a message saying to smoke out in the pkg lot or some other designated smoking areas, but still it's irritating not only having to breathe in their secondhand smoke when we just want fresh air, but sitting in my office doing work when some staff take constant smoke breaks. So I'm Bumping now
@rebeccuh - I wrote that yesterday in a blind rage lol. Red is not exclusively a boy color. I tend to associate it more with boys, but it's a gender neutral color. When you're doing a gender (or sex, if you prefer) reveal, it's blue or pink. Red is confusing and unclear. I associate it with boy. Someone else might associate it with girl- and that's precisely the point.
Friends of ours did a sex reveal by doing pics of spraying silly string. The silly string was green. I was completely confused as to why they did that! It was a good thing I knew they were having a boy beforehand otherwise I would've had no idea what they were having lol

I feel you. No worries. And I get that when it comes to revealing, it's pink or blue, so I do understand where you're coming from. I just never heard of red being one or the other before and was confused.
@JamieK1882 -I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one whose timeline was off! Ever since they did the update mine has been off by a day and it changes days before midnight. Drives me bonkers!
@CopperBoom86 yep. Now they count 16 weeks as being "day 1" of 16 weeks instead of 16w0d. So then you end up with 16+7 at the end of the week which makes no sense lol and yeah I noticed that about the time, I don't know if it's on a different time zone or just really excited for the next day lol
I know it's not still WTF Wednesday but I just had to get this out there . . . WTF laundry?????????? DH did all of our laundry this past weekend because I was still too sick to do much housework, which I love him for and which I appreciate SO SO SO SO much. But I'm wearing a bra that he washed, and he must have used too much fabric softener or not put it on a proper rinse cycle or something. It smells INCREDIBLY strongly of fabric softener, to the point when it is making my eyes water and interfering with my ability to look at my computer screen and work. It is so bad that I am seriously considering taking it off and hiding braless in my office for the rest of the afternoon.
If this was DH's secret evil genius plan to never have to do laundry again, it's totally working.
