Cats... I have not been getting much sleep as it is. This does not mean I want you to sing me the song of your people at random times during the night little fluffy ones! You have food, fresh water and clean litter boxes... Shut your fluffy traps and let me sleep!!
It drove my little sister practically insane, I had never seen an infant cluster feed as much or as long as my niece (she's 5 months old now). I wish you the best of luck and hopefully baby only sticks to the typical growth spurts/cluster feeding schedule!

Thanks. We are running pretty thin on sleep but hanging in there. Lol joys of a newborn
@HMcDade1 I can 2nd this statement. I wish the house would just clean itself, but my tiny tornado just won't stop. Sleep is my twatwaffle. I just want to sleep and I can't. I feel like I have to flip over 10x a night and just the effort it takes to switch sides is just ridiculous.
@randishane011804 this is how I feel when I flip at night (minus the little skinny bitch he's flipping)
Last night my hip joints popping woke my husband up. He was like what the hell are you ok? YESSSSS it's just my joints and I can't move. He's officially aware of how hard it is to turn over now haha
@Kellyj103 I'm pretty sure that's what my husband thinks he's sleeping with at this point! At one point last night he said "Good Lord!". I told him to quit being judgey I'm growing his child!
@LadyFleck I'm due Friday too and have totally resigned to the fact that I'm staying pregnant forever. Turns out we aren't having a baby after all- sorry for inconveniencing everyone! I'm just going to continue buying larger and larger clothing for the rest of my life...
Sleep, or rather lack of - this has been going on since March. Last night I talked DH to sleep, which I think was a first in our 10 years of marriage - my nonpregnant self usually is asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I dread going to bed at night, because I know I will only sleep in about 1 hour spurts before I'm wide awake again. I hang out with the cat in the middle of the night, and read whatever I've downloaded on my Kindle to put me to sleep. I can't wait until LO is here so I at least have a reason to be up in the middle of the night.
I second pretty much everything you all have said (except for the cluster feeding and sore boobs, but I can see what I have to look forward to).
Along with not being able to sleep because of all of the above, my 3 year old walked into my bedroom last night and said "I want to get up and play toys" Apparently, he does not understand that middle of the night is time for sleep. He is my TW today.
The family of armadillos that apparently are living under our house. All twatwaffles!!! I'm due 7/13 and don't want to be dealing with this shit right now.
Simultaneously receiving notices in the mail yesterday stating that they're replacing 1) water pipes and 2) gas pipes on my street. Both notices said the services would be shut off for most of the day. Neither notice said what day this would be. Cool.
My bed is the TW today. I'm only 5 feet tall and our bed is fairly high off the ground. I've often joked with DH about getting one of those pet ramps for me. Now I'm so big that when I get into bed I kind of just flop backwards onto it and scoot myself back until I'm on the bed ( graceful, I know). Getting out of bed is trickier. First, I use my arm to prop myself up like a car jack. Then I have to swing my legs over slowly until my feet touch the ground. I swear that I'm getting a cardio workout just by getting up at night to use the bathroom. This photo pretty much sums it up.
Add me to the pregnant forever club. And it doesn't help that people keep asking "if anything is happening". My MIL texted me last night and said "Any exciting new developments?" And for some reason that made me completely lose it and I screamed at my husband that maybe I should just send her a picture of my cervix and she can tell me of its exciting or not.
Maybe it makes me the twat but I feel like the next person who texts me and asks if I'm in labor yet is getting a rude response with the help of Google image search.

Google mucus plug or bloody show and send her the pictures.
@stellaluna14 I totally get it! For some reason, especially from my MIL, these questions drive me crazy! DS stays the night with her once a week and I've gotten to the point that I honestly dread going over there because she's going to ask the same incessant questions that shes asks every time I see her! Most of them I really don't have answers to. The question that really gets me is "Did you go to the doctor today?". Yes I went to the effing doctor today I go every Thursday and you know this. Yes everything is fine, yes this baby will get here when the F she gets here, no I don't know how big she's going to be! OMG she's going to ask at some point and I'm going to lose my shit! Maybe that makes me a twatwaffle but I'm so tired and done that I just have no f's to give and I know I will probably hurt her feelings.
@stellaluna14 I made a FB announcement that anyone inquiring about the baby's arrival will have their contact info blocked for adding to our family's stress and anxiety and that we will be announcing to everyone when we are ready and not before. I blocked my MIL and sister for doing exactly this. None shall stress the mama bear!!!
Anyone who says something like "it's much easier to take care of a baby on the inside than one on the outside" is my TW. The next person who says something like that WILL get throat-punched. I don't give a shit what you think lady! A crying and screaming infant is 100000000X better than what I am going through right now!
I have another TW, and this one is the fucking worst:
My ex (DS's father) had DS FaceTime me randomly in the middle of the day today. Confused, I answer thinking he just missed me or something. NOPE. He has a mohawk. A FUCKING MOHAWK.
Back story: I have been the only person cutting my sons hair since the beginning. Three years ago, his father mentioned his GF at the time was going to cut Joey's hair into a mohawk for the summer. I HATE mohawks on little boys and DS was too young to ever have requested something like that. After discovering that the GF isn't even a hair stylist and was just going to do it bc the ex asked her too, the ex and I had a massive fight that ended in, get his haircut all you want but your slutty GF isn't touching his head and DON'T give him a mohawk if he's going to have pictures taken within a few weeks.
Flash forward to today: Through it was not his GF (I actually like this new GF) who cut his hair and DS is old enough to have requested the cut, the ex KNOWS I was planning to do newborn photos with the kids. He couldn't have waited TWO FUCKING WEEKS to do this? Why poke the bear 3 days before I'm due to give birth???
My son being so blonde, he looks like he's lost his hair to a serious illness and it just looks terrible. I just want to cry.
Insomnia, up at 3:30am a few times so far this past week.
Being scared out of my mind by my doctor today when she told me I needed a non-stress test (all turned out ok) and an ultrasound this afternoon to check amniotic fluid level (at 4pm). I'm hoping everything is ok but I'm also excited to see baby girl, since the last time I saw her was 20 weeks!
I was hoping at my appointment today my doctor would have checked my cervix. Last week I was 1.5 cm and I'm not really feeling like working anymore. I was wishing to be further dilated and then get to tell work "bye guys! Having a baby!"
My mom's pregnancy and labour stories are the twatwaffle. I just cannot deal with them any more. You had no nausea, vomiting, heartburn or aches and pains? Amazing you pregnancy unicorn. Your labour was fast and painless even though you also had back labour and an episiotomy? Labour unicorn as well! I think I should only be allowed around my husband until this baby is born. People are not my favourite
Family members that don't understand I DON'T WANT YOU AT THE HOSPITAL WHILE I'M IN LABOR. I'm now seriously considering just not notifying anyone until after LO is here.
@Weville If I hear the words, "You only have ___ days left, honey" come out of my husband's mouth one more time, I'm going to sock him right in the mouth. Three days feels longer than the last 39 fucking weeks!
@randishane011804 There's no hope. It's down to the wood on the sides.....I'll have to pretend I love it in front of DS and wait for it to grow out.

This is killing me!!
July16 JULY siggy challenge
It's hot, I'm bored to death, and I just want to be able to drink my effing coffee without breathing fire and burping acid for three hours afterwards.
