WTF Wednesday

DD has been up since 5:15 and for some reason I feel extremely nauseous.

Re: WTF Wednesday

  • @Mfuller76 A few weeks ago DH accidentally blew an egg up in our microwave. Worst smell ever. I feel your pain.

  • @Lynnlove28 my pregnancy brain is making me forget EVERYTHING! I can normally multi-task like a champ at work but I am really struggling lately. I have sticky notes everywhere so I don't forget to return calls.

    WTF to whoever microwaved eggs in our office this morning. No one wants to smell that, a$$hat. Especially not the pregnant one. 
    This is a thing people do? Is it scrambled? Doesn't it get all dried out?
  • @Lynnlove28 I feel the same way. I can't form coherent sentences some days. The poor young tech I was training yesterday was trying so hard to follow some of my instructions. Words and verbs are hard these days.

    Ew ew ew this one client was eating his lunch through the meeting and he had salmon...

    I'll just stop right there. 
  • @Lydiadiane I have to admit that I laughed also. That is totally something I would do. Then I would probably cry. It will be funny looking back someday.  ;)
  • I just stood up to go pee and got half way down the hall then felt like I was going to fall over. I'm incredibly dizzy. 

    WTF WEDNESDAY IVE GOT SHIT TO DO - NOT TODAY!
  • My WTF Wednesday goes to pregnancy induced carpal tunnel on both wrists. Also, my annoying boss who doesn't do any work herself and is riding my ass about finishing a how to manual for dummies aka an employee manual. Get off my ass! Is it July 29th yet?
  • WTF to slow drivers that stay in the fast lane, and HEART BURN is a bitch i tried everything possibly to take but nothing seems to help at all :neutral:  
  • WTF to my dachshund mix. He's obsessed with the air vents/air returns in our home. Our vents/returns are on the floor (thank you 1948 house) and he will spend hours just running back and forth from one to another and just stare at them. He woke me up this morning staring at the one in our bedroom - he was shaking like a leaf and the whole bed was vibrating. I couldn't get him to calm down for anything and I'd just fallen asleep an hour before. 

    He's been doing this on and off for months. We initially thought it was critters in the crawlspace, but we've had it looked at and there are no critters. Nothing. So I just have an air vent obsessed dog apparently. 


  • wtf to my doctors who can't seem to agree, OR share information.

    Typical conversation lately:

    "So doctor A said this..."

    "Hmmm... Yes, that makes sense except ... Too bad we don't have the records."

    "Hasn't it been a week?"

    "Yes we should have them... We just don't... Well, I'll keep trying to get the records, but this that and the other thing doesn't make sense. How about we change your treatment to XYZ because of what I am seeing."

    "That's the exact opposite..."

    So frustrated. I can't WAIT to hit 36 weeks and not have a MFM anymore. One doctor, one opinion, one set of records...


    @britmc18 I have a cat that does that. And she'll sit there and bop bop bop above the grate because she is absolutely tougher than... hot air?  I finally tied ribbons to one grate where it was not annoying (the dining room) now she zeros in on that one.

    WTF to my feet that are ever growing and have expanded outside of my 1-size-up-and-wide-width dressy flats.  I think tomorrow will be the day I start just wearing sandals to the office.

    Also, WTF to this terrible sleep.  4 nights of tossing and turning at least once an hour from hip pain... I think it's time to call the doctor and see what drug I can take for this.  I've been seeing a chiropractor, getting massages, I do special stretches that are supposed to help, I go on walks, I've tried 500 pillow arrangements and Tylenol before bed, I even tried a stupid compression belt that made it worse, and yet... ouch.

  • WTF to my liver.  Finally had blood test results back today and it's highly likely that I have cholestasis again.  Not showing any other symptoms of other elevated liver enzyme conditions.  More tests tomorrow to rule anything else out but it seems like a pretty sure bet that I will be having this baby in about three weeks!

  • @kwilliams3402 Have you tried Benadryl before bed? It's class B like Tylenol and it knocks you out. It doesn't help the pain, but a least you are sleeping... That's what I've been doing at night.



  • @Allisun85 - I'm still taking Diclegis for nausea... have tried to cut it several times and start feeling pukey again within a few days, and I take a daily Zyrtec for allergies.  So... pretty doped up on antihistamine to begin with.  Have a call in to the nurse, but if Benadryl is okay and does the job, that's certainly better than other ideas! I don't mind a few nights of bad sleep, but this has gotten pretty rough.
  • Also - WTF to third trimester nausea???!!! Sunday I couldn't even keep water down, so I am back on prescription anti nausea meds.  



  • @Allisun85 - If it makes you feel any better, I've been taking Diclegis the entire time.  Tried to taper off it a few times and the pukey feeling came back, so the doctor said just keep taking it.  I've been a little more queasy the last couple days.  Fingers crossed the meds help you!!
  • @kwilliams3402 that sounds miserable. Id be curious to know what your doctor offers up as an alternative.

  • My WTF is at myself - WTF was I thinking getting a puppy right now?!?! I AM SO TIRED.

    The puppy was for DH for Father's Day because he has been asking for a puppy for a long time. I am absolutely grateful for my hubby because he has been the one to get up with her all night, but her barking/whining still wakes me up. Ughhhhh so exhausted.
    Me: 25  DH: 28

  • @1faceinacrowd That's why we got a "used dog" (as my husband put it) from a rescue. She is four, three when we adopted, so past all .... that. I'm honestly not much of a dog person, so that was a good compromise for us.




  • @1faceinacrowd that is why I refuse to get a dog right now! I'm not much of a pet person to begin with but DH wants a dog so bad. I'm a SAHM so I would end up taking care of it plus 2 kids. No thank you. DH can get one of those robotic dogs or something. 
  • WTF to the giant ice pops that DS loves. I thought I would be a responsible mom and get the whole fruit ones, but they are an absolute mess! I'm definitely buying the sugary freeze pops next time, just to avoid the bath I have to give him every time he eats one!



  • WTF to a terrible night sleep (again)!! DH said I was up tossing and turning all night and even talking in my sleep!! I feel so exhausted and am struggling to stay asleep for more than 20 mins at a time!!
  • WTF to my hormones. One of my MFM doctors just sent me a text asking me to go get blood drawn tomorrow morning and plan for a blood transfusion to LO on Friday evening. I knew this was going to happen, but I still started crying uncontrollably. I'm not worried or scared about the procedure, but now I just feel so...down. I was perfectly fine all day (even through my MFM appointment where we talked about doing another transfusion), but now I feel like crap.

    I do scrambled eggs in the microwave, they can be good and not dry if done right. Add milk and stop every 30 seconds to whisk the mixture up. Make sure not to leave them on too long. Bit of salt, pepper and optional cheese and away you go, breakfast in 3 minutes!
  • WTF to the obese woman in the lobby at our community pool. She gave me my first "you must be due any day now!" comment as I was getting DS ready to go home after his swimming lesson. I should add that most people think I look small for how far along I am. I just said, "nope, still have 7 weeks to go!" but inside I was thinking didn't anyone ever teach you not to comment on a pregnant woman's size? She would be offended if I said something about her size! Ugh.

    @Knottie29740173, hang in there.  I'm sure I would be very emotional in that situation too!
  • Wtf to jet lag. I've been home since Sunday and have been sleeping from about 7am-4pm. I keep trying to go to bed much earlier but end up lying here awake. I can't get off US time and have things to do this weekend.  
  • @Nikkoli98, I was extremely emotional all through the first one last week. Between them telling me we needed to do the transfusion (Wednesday afternoon) and sitting in the OR getting the spinal/epidural (Thursday evening) I don't think I stopped crying for more than 5 minutes. I was absolutely terrified. This time around I expected it, but I'm not scared like I was though I'm still down about it. 
  • WTF to the parking garage where I park for work. The elevator wasn't working, so I got to walk up 6 flights of stairs to get to my car... once at lunch and again at the end of the day. And it was 92 degrees today and that stariwell smells like urine. This preggo doesn't need that kind of workout!! It better be fixed tomorrow (I pay monthly there so I'd rather not park somewhere else).
  • WTF DH?! So my husband is known to go from deep sleep snoring one second to suddenly "awake" and talking and stuff in his sleep and then straight back to snoring. Usually it's just a few nonsense phrases, occasionally he'll have a conversation with me and I'll ask several times "Is this really you? Are you really awake"? and he'll say yes but then say something that makes no sense so I know he's asleep. Anyway, this alter ego of his is rather frisky and will just start kissing and touching on me out of nowhere sometimes.
    Well tonight I came to bed and fell asleep at about 11 for the first time in weeks . . . It was a miracle! . . And then his dumb ass rolls over and starts grabbing my ass, wakes me up, then immediately commences to snoring like a freaking Tasmanian devil or something so there's no way I can fall back asleep, even with headphones on! Yeah he got sent to the guest room. But I'm still laying here listening to him snore from down the hall. Waaa!

    Yes!  Getting a lot of due any day now questions when I still have 6 weeks to go!
