If my husband complains about being a little sick from his flu shot ONE MORE TIME, I will be arrested for his murder.

@breezybee I FEEL YOU! My mom got her flu shot last week, and writes or calls me EVERY DAMN DAY to tell me her arm still hurts. I get it. You're vaccinated. You can hold the baby now. Also, you're not more uncomfortable than I am today, so please STFU.

Winning: My boss brought us their diaper genie, and whatever diapers they had leftover because their kid is fully potty trained now. WIN for the boss, and free diapers for us!

WW- My LO of a turd didnt want to be monitored but passed with flying colors once we got her!!! I also dont have to go on friday and only go next Monday for BPP ultrasound and doc visit so i get a NST break!!! 

Wtf---going round and round with insurance over one of my meds and also +1 to my mom complaining about her arm hurting since she got her shots today. Try having a baby in your pelvis lady!!!!

@kyrwyn I read your boss post fast and thought I read your boss left diapers in the genie.  I was trying to figure out how dirty diapers was a "winning" lol

I always save my diapers from my kids. I have pull ups from my 5 year old from 3 years ago and disposable diapers from my 23 month old. I have all my cloth diapers from my last baby. 

The flu shot makes me really sick. I refuse to get it. I get sick maybe once without and with it I catch everything. 

Winning- I got stripped today, bring on that labor dust

Wtf- cramping sucks since I got stripped.

WW - I made sugar cookies and froze them before baking so now I can just pop them in the oven when I don't have all day. 

WTF - MIL called DH three times since I began rolling out the dough. 3. times. But at least she isn't calling me.

@babybison how do you freeze sugar cookie dough? The onetime I tried it turned out gross. Last weekend I froze chocolate chip cookie dough 

babybison

@weaver15 I just rolled and cookie cuttered them as usual and froze them between sheets of parchment paper. At least that's what the internet told me to do. FX it works.

weaver15

@babybison ah I didn't use parchment paper. Thanks

WW - Got some baby gifts from management when I went up to the corporate office! The two Amazon gift cards I got, plus gift card amount I had from a return, plus a Swagbucks redeemed gift card and then our completion discount covered all but like $36 of our $400+ Amazon order of remaining stuff on our registry! Annd my mom is paying me back for the crib mattress and DH's mom is paying us back for the baby monitor (she bought us one we originally put on the registry but DH wanted to return it and get one compatible with our phones) so we'll actually make money off of this order! Lol.

Also, DH had a surprise (he knew it was happening some day, but not when) baby shower at work yesterday and we got tons of stuff, and he was really excited. It was really sweet.

WTF to me - I feel like an ungrateful B. I was mostly done with laundry and now there's more I have to do (from baby shower gifts) plus all the stuff we keep getting/just ordered I'm like, "WHERE DO WE PUT THIS?!" I'm 99.9% grateful and happy for gifts, and the 0.1% of me is like, "This is more work for me." Actual footage of myself having these thoughts:

I feel like I complain about the same thing every week but...

WTF to DS for getting up at 5:45 today and yesterday - don't you know I have to work until 11 tonight? 

WTF to myself for having a mini-panic-meltdown-cry over the idea that DS will continue to sleep like shit after baby arrives and I will have an emotional break down... I am having all the fears about being a STM with a toddler right now.

babybison

@failuretofly Sounds like a good time for a cup of tea.

@MJDsquared I can relate to your WTF.  Between all the clothing gifts (because nobody buys you anything off your registry when you have a girl, apparently) and all the clothing a few friends hand-me-down-ed to us, LO has too much wardrobe. And it all needs to be washed. Except half of it is red/pink so I have to do twice as many loads. I can't even bring myself to start it!

cait5413

@failuretofly I had emotional breakdowns from lack of sleep when DD was born, so I'm pretty sure it's even more likely this time! I was telling my co workers yesterday that I really hope baby doesn't mess up DD's sleep because she is generally a good sleeper and there will be enough sleep deprivation as it is.

WTF goes out to my phone...all of the sudden, it's decided it won't charge. Like, at all. I've tried 3 different charges and nothing. So DH went to go pick up a spare that my parents have at their house, thankfully. Here's to hoping that I actually have an upgrade soon.

kimbo2015

My WTF goes out to DH. He still hasn't started on our nursery and I'll be 35 weeks in 2 days. Then he complains how all the baby stuff is stacked in our room. What else am I supposed to do when I can't put anything away. This kid will come and I'll have nothing done I swear! 

failuretofly

@Skcobb is it dead, dead? Like off? I find if I let my phone get too low (<10%) it won't charge unless I turn it off completely and then connect the charger... It's annoying but whatever lol

oldersis

@failuretofly at least one of my two is up at least once a night, usually because they have to pee. Frequently either my husband "doesn't hear them" or they freak out when he goes in their rooms and insist that they only want me. I've just accepted that I am going to be a zombie for the foreseeable future.

skc040512

@failuretofly it completely died because it wouldn't accept a charge when I plugged it in (around 25%). Once it completely crashed, I was able to get it charged some, but it was plugged in all night and got up to like 60%. Yay for upgrades...besides the charging issue, it's in great condition so I'll probably trade it in this weekend (and use my 4 year old phone until then lol)
