Monday Bitchfest 10/10

Mondays are the worst...

My sister is getting married this weekend and I'm super excited! However, I ran into a problem with my floor length bridesmaid dress. The seamstress I brought my dress to get hemmed, hemmed my dress way too short! It's like 3 inches too short and I specifically told the seamstress I wanted the hem touching the ground. Unfortunately, she also chopped off the excess hem so there is nothing to let down. Now I am scrambling to find a new pair of shoes (of a very specific color) with a lower heel (or no heel) to wear so the dress isn't too short.

9w5d, and I've already got stretch marks on my boobs. *eyeroll*

I've been "9 weeks pregnant" for nearly 2 weeks now because my due date shifted at my last appointment. I've been staring at the tater tots in my ticker for almost 2 weeks, which has resulted in a serious over consumption of tater tots. And, yes, I know I could change my ticker...it just seems like a lot of work. Haha...

In other news, it's Monday and most everyone I know has today off. I asked for the day off but had to come into the office to run a company meeting...stuck here for 32 more minutes and then off to hang out with the hubs and son!

Hubs is off today. I left him sleeping while I had to trek into work this morning. I DON'T want to be here. Can I sleep at my desk? I have my my first appointment this morning. Very excited!

I meant my first appointment on Thursday.. Sorry, i'm still not awake.

I can't handle the hormones. I'm a huge LSU fan and our beloved live mascot Mike the Tiger was diagnosed with cancer.   They announced today that he is going into hospice and probably won't roam in the yard of his habitat anymore. I CANNOT STOP CRYING - over a tiger. LO and I made regular weekend visits to see Mike.

My son would not go to sleep last night. He didn't fall asleep until almost 11pm and that's only because I gave in and went to bed with him. We co-sleep but we're trying to transition to him being in his bed longer/him putting himself back to sleep and it's been a struggle. I got zero me time last night and it was super frustrating! Wahhh! That's my bitch fest contribution.

Like pps, I'm at work too. I just want to be in bed!

My b**** is that my husband got a three day weekend and I had to come in today. Also I went out to get a patient that was scheduled at 845 he showed up at 903 and I rushed to get him because I knew he had another exam in the next hall right after mine. Well the nuclear med tech came into my xray room as I am xraying his pt and nastily said I wasn't going to mess up his schedule by taking his patient that it was 905. I said he was an appointment of mine first and that he only just checked in at 903 and that my xray is supposed to be done prior to his vq scan. He said it didn't have to be- I'm sorry I do not want your walking radiation emitting pt after your exam so that I can expose myself and my baby and he was my appointment first. Regardless of my personal reasons for not wanting to take a nuc med pt after their exam. I called his manager and apparently he has a history of this type of action and they are going to write him up.

On top of the constant nausea...I caught a b*tch of a cold from my son. He is also sick, and has just developed a fever. I have missed a ton of work in the past few months staying home with him- DH hasn't missed a day. I texted him just now to ask if he could stay home tomorrow (I'm already missing Wednesday for my doc appointment), and he is super iffy. I get that he makes more money than me, and has less flexible time off...but, dude, it's one day. Ugh. I think in the end, he'll do it, but I shouldn't have to practically beg him.

I didn't check my email all weekend because a) I had company over b) *TW* my mind is preoccupied with a potential m/c, c) I'm a student, so I don't have any important work emails or anything pressing, usually. 

My SO and I spent the morning leisurely tidying up and cleaning after having a guest over because our landlord and the potential new buyer were coming at 2:30 this afternoon.

At 11:15 I had this feeling that our landlord had sent another email and that I should check (I was hoping they'd cancelled because I also have an u/s at 1pm). She had sent an email on Sat. saying they were coming at 11:30!! 
I spent the next 10 mins in a panic, shoving clutter in cupboards, pushing stuff under the bed, stuffing the laundry hamper full, changing out of pjs, all the while cursing about the whole day and being very short with my cat (who is naturally curious about all open cupboards and is always under my foot). 
My hair and my apartment were a little embarrassing, but they came in our place first, so hopefully the neighbors' apartment units will be fresh in their minds and not ours!

My bitch is that my fiance gets to be 1500 miles away during this pregnancy.  He hasn't been here for any of it. No nausea, not exhaustion, no miserable bloating, and when I am up puking at 5am EVERYDAY, he is tucked away nice and comfy in Rhode Island.  I know it's not his fault my stupid IUD fell out and we ended up pregnant again but it still pisses me off.  I was supposed to go visit over fall break but the MFM said NO FLYING.  So, I won't see him until Thanksgiving and I'm in this all alone!!  

ShadeofGreen816

@JonesBaby0624 no flying at all during your pregnancy?? Any reason? Are you high risk? Either way that totally blows that he's gone. Do you have a friend close by that you can tell and commiserate with??

@tumbleweed I've been thinking of you all weekend! So explain the deal with your apartment building - is the owner of your building trying to sell? I feel like a minimum clean up effort is more than enough, if so. I might be rude/jaded but it's not really their problem if your apartment is dirty. People have lives! 

JonesBaby0624

@ShadeofGreen816 I am very high risk.  I've had multiple losses, most due to placental issues so doc said we are not taking any chances.  I'm happy about that, even the not getting to see my fiancé is frustrating. I don't have a lot of close friends around, especially ones who are pregnant or close to the age of being pregnant.  I guess that just gives me more time to nap.  

ShadeofGreen816

@JonesBaby0624 that makes more sense. I hate to hear that. But that's what we're all here for!!!

I have a rash on my legs, and I have no clue where it came from. No one else (dh or either of my DSs) have it. I haven't eaten anything different/new. It's soo bad. Hydrocortisone only helps so much.

FatPony

@JonesBaby0624 - no flying may be a good thing. My SIL lost her first 2 pregnancies and swears it was bc she flew. Both scans showed when fetus/embryo died, it coincided to when she flew (10 wks, 8 wks). She refused to fly with her 3rd, and is now 26 wks. Anyway, H&H pregnancy to you. 

 My bitchfest - it already snowed here and effed up my inlaws harvest. I love living here 99% of the time, but some days.....

JonesBaby0624

@FatPony that is interesting.  Was she high risk?  I've always heard it was ok to fly until the 3rd trimester.  I'm glad she made the choice not to fly and has made it this far.  The 3rd trimester is just around the corner for her!

Went to get checked for this weird rash under my arm...shingles! Still in shock...at 28 years old...and on my hubby's birthday too. 

RainyDays86

I don't usually bitch but I'm having quite the day. Today has been my worst day as far as nausea/fatigue. I got nothing done and felt sick all day and then felt bad about myself for getting nothing done. Got home tonight to find that our puppy got out of his crate and went on a rampage. He didn't destroy anything valuable but he peed twice (at least that I've found) and ripped up a bunch of fabric samples, magazines, and a few books. But worst of all he also got into our diaper pail and ripped up a bunch of used diapers and spread their contents around the house. I cleaned up the pee but left the ripped up diapers for DH and went and sat on the couch and cried.

starphish18

@RainyDays86 Sending creepy internet hugs. That is quite a day

ShadeofGreen816

Oh @RainyDays86 that sounds awful!! It makes sense since I think we're due date (and appointment) twins but my nausea/fatigue just seems to be getting worse too. Luckily I had the day off so I was woefully unproductive. So much guilt. I don't know how you're doing this with a LO at home! 

MoshiMoshi7

Our German Shephard has separation anxiety and it's something we've worked on a lot. About a year ago, she dug up the carpet while we were gone and I waited until last week to have it fixed to make sure she wasn't going to do it again. She went an entire year without destroying anything at all and what does she do? Digs up the freaking carpet the day after I have it fixed.

I was actually having a good day because it's the first day the nausea has subsided a little, but now I'm just pissed.

Jens_Hoes

@RainyDays86 @MoshiMoshi7
Mine isn't as bad as yours (although both of those have happened to me minus the diaper part)
but I FINALLY got the energy to make some ornaments today on my day off, so that I can photograph them and put them up in my etsy store, and what does the dog do, knock over the tray they were on and they're so damn delicate, they shattered. 
I know I can't really be mad at him bc he wasn't being an asshole, but cmon!

luckywife10

@PghMom412 I got shingles last winter! By the time I went in to get it looked at I was already on day 4 but my doc gave me the medication anyway. Through Google and talking with my doctor we determined the shingles were stress induced. Oh the joys of being a grad student.

PghMom412

@luckywife10 I'm just glad I didn't try to self treat it with hydrocortisone or something like I would have immediately had I not been preggers. We also think, at least so far, that mine is also stress induced. My best friend got married last week and it was a super busy and very crazy time for us. On the bright side it gave me an excuse to spill the beans to our parents a little earlier than planned. How long did they last when you had them? Did cold/warm compress help? 

NurseK2016

My Monday Bitchfest is I can't stand it when adults, especially professionals, throw tantrums and act like children. I work with a lot of brilliant physicians but I swear sometimes it feels like I am working at a daycare!!

ShadeofGreen816

Oh @NurseK2016 I feel ya girl!!

We told my in-laws about the baby yesterday. We mentioned that it was still a little early, but were excited to share the news with them. We also said we were going to tell my parents this weekend. I guess I should have very clearly said "so keep the news to yourself", because they proceeded to call my husbands aunts/uncles, his brother and all of their church friends to tell them. I was scrambling at 5 AM to get things deleted off Facebook so my parents don't find out about the news from a stranger. I'm going to call them in a little while to tell them, instead of what we'd planned to do (have DS wear a "big brother" shirt when we go to visit on Saturday). I definitely blame myself for not clearly stating "zip it", but come on!!!!! Common sense, people.

ShadeofGreen816

@ChristinaWild we had a similar issue after we told our parents! Luckily we told both sets together and gave permission for in laws to tell DH's grand parents and great aunt and uncle, as they live next door and we are super close with them. But I was explicit that no one else be told - they live in a pretty small town and our really close friends live there and we are waiting to tell them until the ultrasound next week. Well a few days later DH says "apparently my grandparents friends already bought us a baby gift." I was like seriously??? What part of "don't spread the news" was unclear?? 

Im the end I know everyone's just excited but dang!

clebl24

@ChristinaWild, that is so annoying. 

My uncle posted the birth of our first on Facebook before we made all of our important calls. This is a huge pet peeve for me. Keep it off social media until the parents or expecting parents have put it out there for the world. Okay. Rant over!

ChristinaWild

@ShadeofGreen816 - exactly! It's hard to be mad because I know they didn't mean to cause issues, but COME ON!!! Lol.

@clebl24 - I'm with you. I think it's extremely rude to post pictures or announce the arrival of a child before the parents do! It's not your place!! With our first, I didn't want a slew of well meaning friends at the hospital. I wanted a few days of just family, and I had a friend who told me that regardless of what I wanted she was coming to the hospital! So, I specifically asked all of our immediate family to keep DS's arrival off all social media until we were home and to ask any extended family to do the same.

Squirtgun

Ok, so I know it's not Monday anymore, but I need a place to rant before I go off on someone on Facebook. Y'all are my getting everyone in my life mad at me prevention today!  I am getting SO MAD at all of my FB friends who are posting things about how they don't understand why people are upset that Trump used "naughty words" or "dirty language". Seriously?!?!  It's not simply "using naughty words" to brag about repeated sexual assault!!!!  Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!!  And it makes me crazy because these people who are defending Trump's every action to the hilt are people who I respect, people who go to my church, even people in my extended family!!  To me this is not about the politics. I can understand (to a point) people still voting for trump because they so back the republican party's stance on issues. But don't sit there and tell me that Trump is perfect and that if I disagree with you I'm a horrible person who just doesn't understand the importance of whatever issue is the most important to you. Because, honestly, this has nothing to do with policy. This has nothing to do with politics. This has to do with the fact that they are defending sexual assault, and bragging about it, as if it is a casual thing that everyone does. Seriously ?!?!?!  How is that ok?!
and, end rant. And now I won't post that rant on Facebook, so I may still have some friends left at the end of the week! 

luckywife10

@PghMom412 I believe mine lasted a couple weeks before the scabs fell off and healed. My doctor told me that heat aggravates the sores so to avoid warm showers and clothing that will constantly rub against the sores. My scars lasted a couple months then faded, thankfully.

This happened to me with my first. I hadn't even had a chance to hold my DD yet, and a family friend posted a picture on FB and tagged us. I was furious that she took that away from me. It was my baby to share, not hers. 

SparkySunDevil

It's a day late, but I need to bitch. My damn neighbors upstairs have woken me out of a dead sleep twice in the last 4 days because they've been fighting. They throw shit at each other and scream and I'm over it. Seriously, it's 2 am. Go the eff to sleep. I've wanted to call the cops both times, and DH talked me out of it. I told him I'm absolutely calling next time. I'm so done.

samyv

@SparkySunDevil I have that problem all the time with our downstairs neighbors. They slam doors at all hours of the night and get into fights and their poor child wakes up and cries. It's awful. Thank god they are leaving in 4 days!! Good riddance!

FatPony

@Squirtgun - couldn't agree more. I know politics is going to be a very touchy subject on this board, but yikes, that's some crazy shit! What if Trump said that about your wife or daughter, would he still have your unwavering support? I know I'm going to get bitched at for this, but thank goodness I'm Canadian and dont have to deal with this circus of an election. 

onebadmotha

@Squirtgun - 100% agree! If I hear the BS justifications of "locker room talk" or "boys will be boys" I will seriously lose it. No. There is no excuse. Do not model that behavior to future generations and act like it's normal and okay. It is not.
