WTF Wednesday

wtf to the nurse who told me she can't give me my beta # from yesterday until we do the second one tomorrow. B***h, that is my medical record number. Hand it over.  

wtf to the people at work who keep trying to come at me today with stuff that requires brainpower. I clearly cannot today..or tomorrow for that matter.

wtf to myself for being anxiety-ridden. Trying to calm down and destress is kind of a joke right now, though I am trying. 

wtf to everything.

purplefan1

@oaklandava tell her to eff off and give you the damn numbers.

Wtf to wanting to do nothing. Like, I don't want to sleep but I'm exhausted. I don't want to eat but I'm starving. I want to hang out with my kid all day but I don't want to parent. I have no motivation and this is a 12-14 hour day at work.

WTF DS...take a nap! You're clearly tired.

Also WTF aunt. You should have been here 15 minutes ago! I want to see my cuzzies!!!!!

pink_polkadots

@oaklandava I’m so sorry you have to go through all this. I am crossing every body part I can in hopes that your LO is okay. ::internet hugs for dayyyss::

tessiesmom26

@oaklandava Do they have any sort of online portal you can check to see if they are there? If not, I totally agree to ask her again until she gives up the numbers!

WTF to food aversions. I know that I am not getting in enough daily protein (per my dr and post surgery from last year) but I can't eat my usuals, chicken and steak. 

pink_polkadots

@tessiesmom26 I’m at the point nausea wise where I hate all food and drinks. Even water makes me want to puke. 

oaklandava

No-no internet portal! I wish I called and left a message and explained my anxiety and that it would be great to give me the number. I know it means nothing, bu tit is a step, and without anxiety medication--a step is effing important LOL

Thanks you guys. I truly don't know what to say

Wtf to the old lady at Friendly’s today. 

So I meet my dad for lunch, and my 2 year old is with us. The restaurant is relatively quiet because it’s midweek. DD is being good, coloring away, messing with the sugar packets, and blowing bubbles in her milk. This woman comes in for lunch, and when the server goes to seat her near our table, she looks at my daughter pointedly and asks for a table further away. 

Honestly I just laughed. It’s FRIENDLY’S. This restaurant is literally *the* kid-friendly place to go for lunch. Miserable old bat. Maybe next time she should try Chuck E Cheese, might have better luck avoiding kids there. 

MouseMama817

@oaklandava That’s obnoxious, I’m sorry I’m rooting for you to break her lol

WTF to hormones hitting me out of nowhere today, making me grumpy and tired when I have dinner guests to prepare for.
Also WTF to being constantly hungry but nothing sounds good.
And WTF to my husband for not believing pregnancy symptoms hit this early. He must have more experience in this area than me.  

CopperBoom86

WTF to stepping outside for less than 2 minutes and getting bit three times by mosquitoes. God, I hate the summer... and it's not even really here yet!

kbrown2385

WTF to my doctors office. I finally decided to get my levels checked for peace of mind. Made sure to get up early to go to the lab and get it done....and of course they didn’t call me at all with the results today. 

kbrown2385

@CopperBoom86 I am so not looking forward to he mosquitos 

brookepdavis

WTF DD. She has only ever bitten me once while nursing, until tonight. Ow. That hurts so much more now that I’m pregnant. I know she’s getting her molars but owwww.

pink_polkadots

WTF prenatal pills. Why does every single kind have to be a damn horse pill. I can barely keep water down because Im so nauseated and you expect me to be able to swallow this rock of a pill? I seriously struggle with it every night... and it almost comes back up every night. Even thinking about taking it makes me gag. UGH.

offtoneverland

@pink_polkadots Gummy prenatals might be a good idea! I think some gummy vitamins don't have as much of the necessities as the regular pills, but I heard that Smarty Pants prenatal is a pretty good brand.
@kbrown2385 I'm so sorry you didn't get your results today!  

Mine goes to my DD today, but only in a funny way, not a real WTF. I got a new pair of Keds in the mail yesterday and my 3-year-old DD looked at them and said "I really wish you wouldn't wear those. They look kind of bad on you." It made me laugh so hard. I have no idea where that came from or why she doesn't like them. She's going to judge me so hard when she's a teenager! 

middleschoolmommy

Wtf coworker. The assistant principal came in during our planning period and said we have yet another new enrollment and that EVERYONE has a full class during 8th period, so we have to just decide who gets the new one. Coworker has 32 kids, I have 33.  She says "oh, well you are used having the bigger class anyways". I almost pulled the pregnancy card! But seriously, she's 25 with no kids and leaves school every day as soon as we are allowed. She can take the new kid!

WTF cold and flu season. I had to take my toddler to the doctor yesterday. They tested him for flu, but the results haven’t come back yet. He had the flu at the end of December, but the pediatrician said he is seeing a lot of influenza b right now. 

troystory17

@tessiesmom26 do you still drink protein shakes at all? I get the premier protein and put some powdered peanut butter in them they aren't too bad and its about 35 grams of protein.

tessiesmom26

@troystory17 Yes, they have been my saving grace! I have the premier protein ones too. Last night I was able to get in some chicken by putting in on a salad and using dressing. I think with a dressing/sauce it will be okay so I am going to try that.

I’ve been taking mine with applesauce. My kids think I’m nuts but I gag them right back up otherwise.

I hope he’s ok. This flu season has been awful. It feels like it’s never ending.

Okay guys I’m sorry, I know it’s Thursday but honestly wtf.

I just did my 2nd HCG check and called my OB’s office to ask how long I can expect to hear about the results— “Should be next Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.” First of all, that’s not a freaking answer. Second of all, it doesn’t take a week to get blood results!! Right? Am I misremembering things?

lurvleybunchococonuts

@MouseMama817 what the wha? I'd call back and ask for a real answer.  That is ridiculous.  A beta should take a few hours at most.  I have access to my results online and was able to view my results roughly 2 hours after the draws.  Granted, it takes the doctor longer to review/okay them and then get a call out to you, but a vague "tues, wed, or thurs" seems absurd.  I hope the receptionist misunderstood you.  I suppose it'll be a holiday weekend, but that seems crazy long.  Did they draw your blood at the clinic and by chance don't do testing on site? I could see that adding a day to the wait time, but sheesh, I'd be beyond annoyed by that answer *hugs*

MouseMama817

@lurvleybunchococonuts I feel validated now, thank you!  I just left a message with the nurse sooo fingers crossed I get something. I did have to go to a Quest lab to get the draws and they mentioned it can take 2 days to get it sent over, but that means I should at least be able to get Tuesday's results. I have too much anxiety to wait a week every time I have a damn blood draw, pardon the language. FX

oaklandava

@MouseMama817
I completely agree. My office has still yet to give me the first number (we are checking for signs of miscarriage due to ultrasound not showing what it should). I will be getting it before I leave today or it will not be pretty.

MouseMama817

@oaklandava I am so sorry to hear you're going through that. The hardest part of that for me was the waiting. The constant testing and the constant waiting. It took almost a month before I had any real answers; I felt like I couldn't begin the healing process until someone told me what I needed to know and left me alone. I hope you get the information you need soon, whichever way it goes. 

Mmmkay receptionists are officially only useful for one thing and it is not information. The nurse called me back w/ the lab results from Tuesday and said I should be able to call back in tomorrow at lunchtime for today's results. Much better!!

goldie987

Calling back tomorrow sounds much more reasonable. I get draws done at the office and they send them to LabCorp for analysis and I only have a 24 hour wait.  My last lab was drawn at 10:30 am and the doctor had results back by 6:30 the next morning.  Hope you get some good numbers tomorrow. 

purplefan1

Glad you will get the results tomorrow. My office is usually a 24 hour turn around time but they sometimes will send it stat so if you go in the morning they will call you by afternoon. Some times they can be really good about knowing the anxiety that goes in to this and needing answers. 

I go for my second tomorrow and just noticed someone above mentioned the holiday and immediately thought "crap". I wonder if I might not get results back til Tuesday now. Do people have the Monday following Easter off?

MouseMama817

@purplefan1 I don't believe they do. Depending on the establishment, some people have the prior Friday off of work (Good Friday). Our preschool is closed that day because it runs out of a church. Not sure who else would be closed.

WTF is with these crazy vivid dreams?! I wake up not feeling rested at all!
And last night, I woke up crying, and pissed off at DH, because in my dream, we went for an US, and he found out the sex. And then he told me by accident. I was devestated! I wanted that surprise!
(Oh and Apparently we are having a boy, according to this dream)

MojieJo

Speaking of crazy dreams, (warning: this is gruesome) I had a nightmare a couple nights ago where I cut my cat in half with a plastic knife (one of those cheap little disposable ones).  He purred the whole time and then rolled over (only his front half moved) and his intestines fell out.

Horrifying.

WTF is wrong with me?!

MouseMama817

@MojieJo Whoa.

MojieJo

@MouseMama817 I know, right?  I have some bizarre dreams, but that one took the cake.

mockingjay1

+1 to crazy vivid dreams. The night before/morning of my BFP I dreamed we were pregnant with a girl and that my dad had multiple brain tumors and was diagnosed with brain cancer. I've since had multiple dreams this baby is a girl. I think part of that is because the baby we lost last summer was a girl and I've had dreams about having a girl semi often ever since.
