it is supposed to rain for DD2's party. every freaking birthday party i ever have rains. 50ppl trapped in my house. sweet.

I woke up with a cold yesterday.  I, for some reason, have super colds that are intense and last 3 weeks.  I am not a happy camper because of course I can't take the good medicine.  

mrs_fogue

@carries2018 I attract rain too.  Every single event in my life it has rained for.  Wedding showers - tornados, Wedding day - rained up until our outdoor ceremony, baby shower - rain, DD1 birth - snow, DD1 first birthday rain, DD1 2nd birthday ice. 

I really hope the rain skips over you until the birthday party is over. 

sdarling2010

@carries2018 we're having a party on Saturday and it's supposed to rain, too. Not cool weatherman! 

DD was supposed to have gone to the inlaws this last weekend so DH and I could have a break. MIL has shingles so obviously that didn't happen. Hoping to get another weekend on the books with them after her quarantine is over!

mrs_fogue

@JessDG Aw, I hope this one is quick.  I usually suffer because I feel like most medicine does nothing for a cold.  Especially during pregnancy. 

mrs_fogue

I don't have much to complain about other than DH's obsession for having burgers at every meal.  He will text me "can we have burgers tonight?" even though I work off a meal plan.  He will come home with all the stuff for them and cook them anyways.  Seriously he's making me grow to hate burgers.

I checked the forecast for my daughter's birthday a week ahead of time. 80 degrees and sunny. By the end of the week it was changed to 55 degrees and rain. So you never know, hopefully it will change for you!

@carries2018 BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PETTING ZOO

tyannej

My bfest is that I'm so behind on here, my dog, and my husband (just a little, more like an eyerolll) 

I wasn't able to be on here all weekend and I'm so behind. 

My dog, who is a 6 month old lab has been amazing, she's been super easy and she's smart. Over the last few weeks she's like a mix of a toddler in their terrible twos and a pissed off teenager and I want to drop kick her, not really but it's so frustrating. 

And my husband. He's allergic to cats but wanted to get one for our barn to get rid of all the mice and stuff, well I've never owned a cat in my life. He gets this tiny kitten and since it's way too small to be outside. It's in the house, with us. So I have to listen to it meow non stop and listen to him because he can't breathe. WTFFFFF!!!

@bluejeanbabi05 i checked with them when booking given my track record of rain. they will either bring a tent, or more likely i will just have it in the garage.

I spent hours upon hours looking at condos to rent for our vacation. Finally booked one with a month left, signed the contract, paid the lady. She emailed me this morning to let me know that she double booked the condo and that we could stay at her brothers (3 bedroom) condo for the same price. I didn't pick her damn brothers condo though and I don't need 3 bedrooms for DH and I. We leave in 19 days to go on this vacation and now I have to figure out what to do. Her brothers condo doen't have good pictures so I'm like... ughghghghghghghghghghg

Honestly I'm so infuriated right now. I don't freaking feel like spending hours finding another condo. I specifically picked hers because I liked the balcony and the open and airy feeling to it. I mean this could probably be defined as a first world problem but I don't even care. I'm pregnant and I've spent the past 2 days an emotional mess. This is not what I needed. 

Also I was going to finally tell my boss today that I'm pregnant and she is out sick and I've really been looking forward to it.

mrs_fogue

@tyannejToddler Labs, has she started chewing yet?  I love labs, they are extremely smart but oh man the chewing. 

tyannej

@mrs_fogue she really doesn't chew that much, honestly we've gotten lucky with her. She knows already just to chew on her toys; she's demolished a few of them but as far as shoes and such we've gotten off good with all of them.

The issue is, we live on the same property as my father in law and he loved my dog so much he went and got a male just like mine. Well we work with ours and he just lets his run around and do whatever so when we let her out she goes and does the same thing thinking it's okay. And she's getting to where now when we call her she runs the other way, and if anything will make me want to throat chop a dog, it's that. Also I think it might be her hormones starting to regulate, so I need to get her fixed.

mrs_fogue

@dumbledoredies Oh man, that sucks!  I know how daunting of a task condo searching can be for just the right one! 

Boobopgirl

MY bf IS:  Food porn on facebook.   I really don't need to know how to make all the unhealthy things in 10 min or less.

I also did not realize how. Many. Jelly beans.  I needed to potty train DD.  Why didn't anyone tell me she would pee 486 times a day once she knew she'd get candy...

ariz17

I'm not sure if this is exactly a bfest but I am so sick of DH not understanding that i'm going through a lot during pregnancy. He doesn't understand that pregnancy brain is real. He's always just asking,  "what is wrong with you?" um I'm pregnant hello! I just want to scream sometimes lol. I wish he could go through pregnancy!

tyannej

@ariz17 I'm there with you at some points, it hasn't been bad but sometimes I wish he could just get in my brain and really realize that I would literally forget my ass if it wasn't attached to me. 

dumbledoredies

@mrs_fogue it is! I put way too much thought into it but I can't help it.

But I have an update! My amazing, amazing mom just sent me a list of nice condos that she found and priced out for me so I don't have to do it. She is literally the best and I love her so much.

@ariz17 my DH and I got into a bit of a spat yesterday because I got mad at him (for literally no reason... I just got incredibly anxious and took it out on him) and he wasn't exactly nice about it. We were talking later and he was apologizing  (as was I) and he was like "I'm sorry, sometimes I forget that you're pregnant" lol. It was pretty funny. I told him to not forget that! I'm bat shit cray cray right now!

jessafishy

It's cold and raining and I don't want to leave my bed to go back after lunch. 

smartin90-2

Just a small BF for this Monday - I got about 4 hours of sleep because heartburn struck HARD at 130am. I've never had heartburn in my life and this is for the birds!! Ugh. The burning, almost puking feeling is ridiculous! I just want a nap, but that's unacceptable in my office. Boooo! Lol
And I feel you ladies on the rain - I live in Washington and I swear, no matter how much planning we do, it always ends up raining when we plan something outdoors. 

mrs_fogue

@ariz17 I said the same thing to DH yesterday but only because he didn't believe me when I said my back and legs were aching.  I just want him to experience all the little aches and pains that seem to be a constant, all the morning sickness and forgetting everything. 

ariz17

mrs_fogue dumbledoredies tyannej I am glad I'm not alone!

melarowan

@ariz17 I'm with you.  So, (TMI WARNING) I had diarrhea all weekend.  And he won't leave me alone about it. "Yes, I'm sure that the baby is fine.  Yes, I'm certain that something I ate was what upset my stomach.  For F****s sake, It's been 2 hours... Yes, it's still bothering me."  Rinse and repeat Friday, Saturday, Sunday and this morning.

TallMomma29

@carries2018 just let the animals in the house too!   Parrrrrtaaaaaay!   Nothing like random animal poop scattered throughout a packed house to make things more exciting!

TallMomma29

My bfest is my husband's low carb diet.  Everything he makes dirties a million dishes and doesn't taste good to me while pregnant.  I basically just want all the carbs all the time.  I want pizza with real pizza dough, and burgers on a bun.   And sweet potato fries.   And breakfast bagels.  I am not going to make it 6 more months like this.  

ETA: I probably just need to make my own food but I can't stand the thought of dirtying even more dishes.  Time to start ordering take out pizza for every meal I guess! 

mrs_fogue

@TallMomma29 this is usually my DH's complaint about me.  He's probably in heaven right now since I'm making and eating all the crap foods.

aprilsarahjune

@TallMomma29 What is it with husbands starting unapproachable diets while their wives are pregnant? I know your pain.  During my first pregnancy, DH went on a serious diet - like Weight Watchers meals through the mail and spinach and raw veggies from the grocery serious.  I realize that there is no time like the present to get healthy, but come on!  He could have started it 6 months before or 6 months after.  But noooo, I was left helpless and hungry without somebody to share meals with.  That is overly dramatic, but I was so mad at him.

sdarling2010

@Smartin90 I'm in WA too! We're throwing a house warming party on Saturday and the forecast keeps going back and forth between sun and rain. Please be sunny!!

melarowan

@Smartin90 I'm in Western WA too.  The weather is so nutty and unpredictable.  I just plan on rain and if it doesn't, then it's a bonus.

We went to KFC for lunch before the music festival and I accidentally threw out something DH wanted to take with him. He pitched an out right fit. He's was a real dick about it. And thus I was not sorry. You could swear he was the one with the unstable hormones.

laeberge3

@TallMomma29 @aprilsarahjune My H is getting ready to start Whole 30.  I did Whole 30 in January prior to my BFP so I while I could do it, I don't want to be so limited.  Plus, I love my carbs lately too and most of those are big no-nos.  We'll see how long this lasts!

My BF is work.  We were informed on Friday that we were migrating our email and server this past weekend.  While I was annoyed we had no notice, it's not that big of a deal. Except it hardly worked and I don't have access to the files I need today and I have some deadlines.  Erghhhh. Plus, we switched to a Google based system (which I like) from our email being routed through Outlook and now to respond to an email I received on Friday, I have to basically recreate the darn wheel.  I know this will be better in the long run, but sheesh, this Monday sucks.

I want KFC now 

mrs_fogue

@feeislovenot to excuse his behavior in any way, but I fully believe in sympathy symptoms.  Especially those on the hormonal/emotional side.   

TallMomma29

@laeberge3 @aprilsarahjune @mrs_fogue it's tough because I want to be supportive but I'm also like "omg can we please eat something besides cabbage and spinach and meat with no bread??"  This would be so much better if we could do it together after I'm done growing two humans!   

monstera13

Happy Monday ladies! I finally have a break to catch-up on the bump. That's lame that husbands are starting diets while you are pregnant! I'm so happy mine's currently down to eat whatever doesn't sound awful to me lol.

My BF: students who wait until the last week of the semester to ask what they can do to improve their grade. You've earned D's or F's on every exam in this class, as well as the paper, and you wait til the last week to ask what you can do? No. Go away with your annoying self. 

jessafishy

I woke up with a headache today, too. It's still lingering. I really need to start the Vitamin B2 because this is getting ridiculous.

cooaladolly

So just to bitch about my body one more time; the nausea is finally winding down (though not gone, which I'm annoyed enough about) but now my back has started aching. Like bad. Not even lower back pain that is easy to Google and makes sense to me. It's the middle of my back and it's making it impossible to sit for over half an hour. Even better, it started literally the day of my last OB appt so I'm trying to wait until the next one, twisting myself into all kinds of contortions to alleviate any pressure I can when sitting, but I may just have to call before the appt. Just when I keep thinking I'm supposed to have a couple months of energy and smooth sailing I keep feeling shot down.

purplestarz

@TallMomma29 arrrgh my husband just starting a diet too. We made zucchini noodles last night, which was actually pretty good, but it just didn't work for me so I binged on popcorn after....specifically "skinny pop" to which I added large amounts of butter.

beezeee

Work has been really shitty today. I can't really give any details because of confidentiality, but I made a mistake on something (not entirely my fault) and it's going to be a pain to deal with. And I'm a perfectionist and super critical of myself, so I'm just in a major funk. Ugh.

laeberge3

@beezeemarie Sorry about work being shitty- that was me two weeks ago.  I made a mistake (thanks a lot, pregnancy brain!) and even though it all got worked out, it still bothers me.
