My intestines. I swear they've unraveled and go all across my body. I was NOT feeling well yesterday and swear I was backed up somewhere under where my liver now is.
MIL didn't mention she's not been too well and now in the hospital with Colitis! She was having pain after eating for months and wasn't saying anything! She JUST has surgery on Friday on her right foot. Love getting those phone calls on the way to work!
Edited: Update: DH and FIL can't go visit her in the hospital because she is also contagious with something and we have yet to find out what she has. Icing on the cake considering we just visited her for Mother's Day! REALLY?!
My TW is anyone who hasn't talked to me in a while but is all of a sudden blowing up my phone asking way too many questions about this baby - what are we naming him, what does the nursery look like, when is the baby shower. My favorite was if they can come to the hospital when he is born. Ummm, no. If I haven't talked to you through out this entire pregnancy, I'm not going to be sharing that kind of information with you. People sure have a lot of balls these days.

People are SO nosy! It's amazing how many new friend requests you get when people want to get into your business.

@Kellyj103 - GURLLLLLLLL....was JUST talking about this with SIL, DH and MIL....everyone wants to be in your business when happy times are upon you! It's hilarious to me!
TW = the dude who took a shit in the staircase of my office building. Floors 6-11 of my building are lofts, and apparently some drunk guy didn't make it all the way home before shitting himself on the stairs. He left his boxers and everything. To top it off, the back elevator is also out of order, so I ended up having to walk completely around the building to get inside and up to my floor.
My TW #1 is the appraiser of our condo. He appraised our condo last Tuesday and our realtor stressed the importance of handing in the appraisal report before Friday, so that we could close this Thursday. The TW didn't hand in the report until Monday afternoon, further delaying an extremely delayed process. Now we are hoping the bank pulls through so we can close Friday, if not it is going to be at least another week!
My TW #2 is the developer of our condo. We were supposed to close at the end of January! We even changed our loan type so that we could close sooner, not that the project has been riddled with delays, none cause by my husband and I, we are going to have to pay a loan lock fee because we are not going to close on time and a fee for not using our IRA funds within 120 days. Our realtor told the developer that he is going to have to pay the fees, since the project has been extremely delayed and us the buyers just want to buy this place and move in considering we are now living out of boxes and in temporary housing. The TW developer said that we didn't use his preferred lender, therefore its our fault and we are going to have to pay the fees! Are you F%ckin' kidding me dude, my husband and I signed a contract in November before we even knew we were expecting, now I am almost 31 weeks, c'mon bro realize you are in the wrong here!
Sorry, I feel like all I do is complain about moving and not being able to move into my home, but I want some security as to when I am moving in and closing, so I can relax and somewhat enjoy the remainder of my pregnancy stress-free.

@Kellyj103 I have pointedly reduced my FB usage just because of the weirdos coming out the woodwork. If you didn't care when I got married, ran my first race, adopted my dog, moved to CO or any of my other major news, you don't get to know what's going on with my pregnancy either.
July BMB Siggy Challenge: Weird Hot Dog Situations
My mom texts me like every other day suggesting baby names when she knows we have already decided on a name. Why not just come straight out and say you don't like the name? Not that it matters what she likes lol
I should be teaching but instead I am laughing out loud about people pooping in stairways thanks to you guys.
My TW is pseudo-science facebook articles people are tagging me in. I don't need parenting advice from that crap. Stop thinking I "might find it interesting." I don't. I believe in science and peer reviewed research, not click-bait facebook articles.
People...people in general. I just wanna leave a note on my door that says "please replace whatever comment, question or unsolicited advice you're going to say, replace with "you look gorgeous" and kindly walk the fuck away"
@PinkLady2015 Yes! I'm not as swollen this time as I was with my first, but I've still gotten comments of "are you sure there's not two in there?"... the latest offender was my own grandmother! If they can't say something nice (perhaps commenting on how glowing the pregnant lady is... or how she looks amazing..), they don't need to say anything at all!
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
We had Car Max appraise a car we want to sale. They are literally offering less than 50% of Kelly Blue Book, due to 'bent frame'..umm, no, there is not a bend frame on the car. We asked them to point it. Dh works in automotive and literally argued with them what is or is not a frame. And then we took it to another Master Tech that we know and they agreed, that is not a frame nor is it really bent. He took a hammer to it and now it is perfectly straight.
But offer still stands. Now we are going to try to private sell it.
@BecauseBabyIamAPug We had a similar experience trying to sell to CarMax earlier this year. We seriously laughed at their offer. The poor sales lady was all, "There just isn't a market for large SUV's." REALLY?!? I find that hard to believe. We sold our car private party in less than 24hrs, for double what they were going to give us.
Can't tell if TW today is me being overly sensitive or the men in my department treating me differently. I feel like where I used to get asked to come down to lunch or go out to lunch and chatted with non stop, now the guys all kind of avoid me. Decided to start eating at my desk to avoid eye rolls when someone inevitably asks about my pregnancy, but I feel lonely and bummed. Sometimes I really hate working with mainly men. I wish there were more girls, it'd especially be nice if there were some girls my age.
@PootsDragon I work with mostly men also, and yeah, most of them that I was buddy-buddy with aren't chatting with me so much ever since I became very obviously pregnant. I can kind of understand how pregnancy might be an awkward topic for a bunch of dudes though. However, it does kind of suck to be lonely at work sometimes. I should note that I do actually work with a few girls close in age to me. Because they are all childless, it almost worse trying to "fit in" with them because they really just don't get it at all. I just keep reminding myself that I'm here everyday to make money, not have a social hour (though god knows it would sure make the time pass quicker if I did have more socializing at work!).
My doctor's scale is a TW today. I did pretty good with my eating this week and gained 6 lbs in 2 weeks Part of that is due to my appointment being way later than usual and I had a big brunch with my mom. But still...stupid TW scale
My TW is either a person who stole my chicken or my idiot chicken who flew the coop into the woods full of raccoons. Either way, one of my chickens is plum missing, with no sign of an animal attack. And it was the prettiest sweetest chicken too.
@elenabrent - I know the feeling. Our culprit ended up being a couple of rather large (and obviously well-fed) raccoons that were actually digging under our pen and getting a chicken or two a night. At one time, I had about 26 chickens... by the time we caught the raccoons, I was down to 5 hens and 2 roosters.
So there's this boy. He kinda stole my heart. He calls me "Mom"
toddler bedwetting regression is the TW today. My 3 year old has been fully potty trained for months and she's peed the bed like 6 times in the last 2 weeks. She is VERY independent and I think we're going to have a hard/impossible time getting her back in Pull-Ups after not wearing them for so long. Ugh.
My body for not cooperating with my plans for this afternoon. I was lazy after work yesterday so the house is a mess today and I had so many chores on my list for when I got home from work that I am actually motivated to do today....but my ankles and feet are swollen, I can't stand for more than a minute without getting lightheaded and weak feeling, and heartburn is majorly flaring up right now. So I'm on the couch. Hopefully putting my feet up for awhile will help and I can at least do one or two things that I need to do!

I'm the TW today. After saying for the last two weeks that the baby is head down because: feeling lower left hiccups, feeling jabs in my bladder, feeling a dome shape in my left rib, and feeling kicks in my right rib, I was proven right by my ultrasound today. Take that everyone who said I had no idea because "I'm a FTM", "it's too early for the baby to be head down", etc.
My car was the TW today. I tried to get out of it after arriving at work and the interior door handle broke. I then had to crawl across to the passenger side to get out, which took a lot of work considering the fact that I'm slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter when walking. I'm sure my co-workers had a good laugh. It's getting fixed tomorrow and still covered by the warranty, so it could be worse. It's still very annoying though.
@sami1784 we've had a few raccoon attacks, so I looked for the normal signs and didn't see anything. My best guess is she flew out of the run yesterday without anyone noticing and went on a grand adventure in the woods. Which surely ended with her being eaten.
My TW is my poor mother. She shares and comments on EVERYTHING baby related on Facebook. It's embarrassing. I am embarrassed for her. It's over the top!! I can just imagine what her friends think, who have been grandmas for years now. It's so beyond unnecessary. I sent her a text, in the nicest way possible, asking her to please stop. I don't need 19 videos and articles a day to teach me what I'm doing in the next two months. This is in addition to all the advice we've been getting from her constantly via text and email from all the shows she's watching and things she reads that she hasn't figured out how to share on Facebook.
Was going to post this in randoms, but it's kind of a TW rant.
I'm about to go all Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino on my neighbors. We live on a gravel dead end that is maybe 100 yards off the main road and the ONLY other place past us is my neighbors' horse boarding facility. I don't mind the traffic or the noise, I have my own horses, but I swear to little baby Jesus the next person that comes screaming past my house doing 40mph is either going to get a rock through the window or a shiny new asshole courtesy of this grumpy 8-month-pregnant lady. I'm ready to set up my lawn chair in the front yard. I have dogs, chickens, goats, and horses not to mention CHILDREN. While we do our best to contain the livestock and supervise the dogs/children, they are all unpredictable and there is NO reason your impatient ass needs to go that fast. It's irresponsible, discourteous, and it stirs up a terrible dust cloud. I don't care if you own the place or pay big money to keep your animal there, you do NOT own the road.
I am am currently debating contacting the manager and doing the mannerly, politically correct thing to express our discontent. Either that or letting DH do it... Hes a little too harsh sometimes but we don't give a flying duck about maintaining a neighborly relationship anymore (for other reasons). If they don't remedy the situation, I will flag down every car I see moving faster than a crawl and I won't be polite about it.
My mother. She's very controlling. I've had 2 miscarriages before. The first one I took about 6 pregnancy tests before I even missed a period because she was stressing me out so much about giving her a grandchild. They all came out positive, so my doctor counts that as one. Second one, she wanted to tell everyone because she couldn't wait, and she started planning a baby shower before I was even out of the first trimester. This time I never told her I was pregnant. She wasn't too happy when she found out through a family member from Facebook after 12 weeks. Since then she's backed off, but she keeps saying these horrible things behind my back, and she's the only person who has a problem with the name my husband and I picked for our daughter. I suspect she has a name picked out because she really really really wanted me to have a girl. I don't think she likes the people my sister and I have become, so she wants another shot with my daughter. I don't plan to ever bring my daughter anywhere near her.
I'm the TW today.

Weird.... My kiddo has been head down since 20 weeks. I've had ultrasounds at 20, 24, 26 and 28 weeks to confirm that she stays head down.

@rnyland1 I also work with 99% men... and the alternative is having them ask me every.single.day whether I'm going to breastfeed or not...
