 With all the bare bellies in the January siggies I was looking forward to February, just because I am on here at work and nervous people will see my screen. Serves me right because I am pretty sure the heart-shaped back wax makes up for it lolol  

ETA: I know some people put spoiler buttons but for some reason my work computer just shows everything most of the time even without me clicking on the spoilers.

I hate pop music...hate, hate, hate. I think it is utter garbage. That said, my favorite Trance DJ just came out with a new single that sounds like Funky Disco Trance ate Bruno Mars for dinner and I almost want to cry. I know that is soooo lame, but come on dude...It sounds NOTHING like him. NOTHING.

I told my husband I was ordering some maternity clothes from Old Navy... but then Gap was having a sale so I ordered more today. (BTW Old Navy and Gap are having sales. I got five tops, a pair of leggings, and a dress between the two for about $100).

But they're all set to arrive the day of my next OB appointment and my scumbag brain is making me freak out about that.

I had a huge fight with DH yesterday and changed his name into my phone to A**hole D**khead F**kface (without the ***). Extremely immature, childish and petty and yet strangely satisfying.

@Firemanswife11 Ooh which song are you talking about? Wondering if I've heard it yet.

Firemanswife11

@juliebird6 "Sex, Love, and Water." It's on his Facebook page. Not a fan. I tried. Literally a couple of links down he's got a link to vocal trance hits. Like, whyyyy? 

juliebird6

@Firemanswife11 nope, never heard it.  will have to find it on my lunch!

Man I had a good FFFC earlier when I woke up. Now I can't remember it.

In my last BMB I was always mad at my (now ex) husband so when I referred to him as DH it didn't stand for dear husband, it stood for that second word you mentioned. 

mrsbubbles-2

I had a middle-of-the-night fight with DH too (those are always so productive...) When your wife tells you that the baby monitor has been off its charging base all day and couldn't possibly have enough charge to last through the night without sounding its ear-piercing screech that the battery is dying, just go get the damn charge base and plug the thing in so said wife doesn't have to wake you up at 2 to do it anyway.

My FFFC - if I nag and nag and then the thing that I said is going to happen happens, I will unload a pure hell of "I told you so's" upon you.

Firemanswife11

@mrsbubbles-2 my DH turned the sound machine ALL the way up last night, which, for some reason, makes the baby monitor go off 110 times in the middle of the night when everything is dead quiet. I didn't put 2 and 2 together until this morning. Slept terribly. We'll have to turn down the dumb thing tonight for sure. 

mrsbubbles-2

@Firemanswife11 - Oh no! The sound machine in the baby's room? Did your little one sleep through it? My DH did something similar - he got one of those Amazon echo things but put it RIGHT NEXT to the monitor in DS's room. We don't hear the baby - we hear the stupid echo thing. I'm sorry you had a rough night too.

I bought a fetal Doppler because I can’t stop worrying, my DH was really pissed off because of the cost but it makes me feel better to hear a heartbeat whenever I’m feeling anxious. 

Firemanswife11

@mrsbubbles-2 When the monitor kept going off but I couldn't really "hear" anything (no whining, coughing, etc.) it kind of freaked me out, so I woke DH to go check on him. He came back and said DS was awake but I think he probably woke him up opening the door because it's an old house and that door makes a bit of noise. The monitor kept going off for HOURS - finally I threw it at DH lol. But I could still hear it. I guess DS slept fine.

My 3.5 year old is driving me crazy. I’m not enjoying him at all. He’s constantly asking questions, many the same thing over and over again after I already answered. Temper tantrums galore. I hate this age.

Love tit for solidarity. I know my DS is sick but also...omg. Last night he argued with me he didn't want to cuddle with me, while cuddling with me. This age is so trying. 

princesslockness

I had a full blown panic attack when they tried to do my spinal this morning. Flat out sobbing, hyperventilating, shaking the whole bit.

mrsbubbles-2

@princesslockness - oh my I'm so sorry! That sounds so scary! Are you ok?

dirtanddiamonds

3 is the worst. Terrible 2’s are BS. Three is so much harder. 

hfooter

@calimom2524 and @dirtanddiamonds I’m just praying 4 is better. It’s sad not wanting to spend time with him. I feel such a distance between us

Well DS1 is 5 and I can say it gets better. There are definitely times where it's probably almost worst but I feel like 4 and 5 (what we've experienced so far) is such a fun time. They're like little humans now, almost completely self sufficient as far as not needing to be wiped anymore and able to get food and drinks for themselves and stuff. I love the bond I have with DS1 now that we can talk like people. 

Firemanswife11

@dirtanddiamonds 3 IS the worst. Whoever came up with the term "terrible twos" was crazy!!!!

For me 4 so far has been the hardest (though we are less than a month in)... but also the high points of 4 are really high! I have heard good things about 5 though.

windywoman

@princesslockness Oh no! I almost had to have one during surgery a few weeks ago and was freaking. I can't imagine actually having one. I hope everything is ok. 

lakesideknitter

Yeah, 2 is awesome. I'm scared for DS turning 3 a few months after I give birth... I feel like that whole year is gonna be a sh*tshow.

elsieisamoocow

Ugh DS is going to be 3 next week and he's been acting like a threenager for a couple of weeks now. He was an absolute monster yesterday, and at his ballet class, he pulled a girl's hair and wouldn't let go, which ended with me sobbing in the middle of his class (thanks, hormones) and us being kicked out of that class for the time being. Luckily we're in a Monday class as well, and the teacher/studio owner is very sweet and understanding, but I still feel like shit about it. He's normally the sweetest boy and I really don't like this monster side of him. 

melissaf22

I agree with all you ladies, 3 is the worst!! My DD will be 4 in 3 week, hoping so much it will get better!!

dirtanddiamonds

Yes. 4 is better. I promise. 

msmonalisavito

For us, ages 3 and 4 were the WORST.  

ladygali

Omg you ladies have no idea how nice it is to hear others are struggling with a 3 year old. I mean, I hate we are all going through it but man, it’s so hard. Everything is an argument and a struggle, he hates to do ANYTHING that isn’t playing and refuses to follow any kind of directions. I feel like I talk to myself all day. Ugh. I’m in bed at 7:30 because this day just needs to be DONE!

mozartsmuse

I have no patience for anyone and my mom constantly tries to guilt me into bringing DD to her instead of her coming to visit us, I finally laid down the gauntlet...look I’m pregnant and tired and my idea of fun isn’t chauffeuring a 3 year old 2 hours when you could get up off your ass and come see me! Grrrrrr

Oops maybe I should have saved this for bitchfest. 

princesslockness

Thanks ladies! I’m doing ok now, just a sore everywhere.

Hearing about how bad 3 is is making me nervous...DD1 turns 3 in June, so when this kid is born we'll have a 3 year old and a 14 month old already.  We may be screwed.

lalala2004

Yeah, y’all are just making me scared for 3. I thought it was supposed to get easier when they can communicate better!

ladygali

In some ways it is easier. DS can (sometimes) tell me when he’s hungry, thirsty, in pain, happy, sad, mad, etc. so there’s less guessing like with a baby. He’s also hilarious and smart and extremely creative. I love seeing the games he creates and he’s always telling a story and making up songs. For that, it’s super fun to watch him grow. That being said, the more he can communicate, the more he expresses his opinion and heaven forbid if it doesn’t align with mine. So, to take him away from whatever he is doing (usually playing) in order to complete some life chore, like eating, sleeping, bathing, or getting ready for school, it’s an absolute nightmare. He doesn’t handle transitions well, so everything takes more time and reminders and he’s not great at following directions. So, yeah. Age 3 is harder than 2. 

pghctwife

It honestly depends on the kid. Each kid has their easier and harder ages imo. I hated all the talk of how bad 3 is because my oldest at 2 was awful. So so hard. And ppl saying ‘just wait till 3...’ was really NOT helpful. And I found that with him 3 was actually lovely. He was really great! 2 was a shot show and 4... I cried a lot when he was 4. He’s by far my hardest kid and 3 was actually one of his easier ages lol. 

My secind is my easiest and 2/3 we’re fine but 4 was a ridiculously Whiney and annoying age lol. 

So so far my youngest is a handful at 2 but ok so I’m a little worried about what will come. 

Really - they are all different and when a kid is hard at a given age it’s isually bc of something developmental etc... so that will vary

lolog531

DS will be 3 in May and I’m also slightly terrified of what is to come
on top of having a newborn! I’m really just hoping for the best and as with every stage I remind myself that ‘this too shall pass’ (or at least hopefully it will!!)

Firemanswife11

The reason we waited to have our 2nd was because of ages 2 and 3. LOL. DS will be almost 4 when this baby is born so I hope he won't be so difficult then! 

mozartsmuse

I love my 3 year old, she is amazing. But my mom expects me to drive 2 hours and then sit at a restaurant. That’s not how it works...3 year olds have to run around.
