Monday BF - 5/14/2018

sliztee

Haven't seen one of these yet, but I know there's been some struggles on the Monday Ticker Change!

sliztee

My husband has complained tirelessly about how exhausted he is from traveling, how he had FOMO from missing a booze cruise due to motion sickness, the food he ate, and not getting enough sun while he attended his sister's wedding without me in Punta Cana (due to Zika Virus) for the last several days.

That's right, ladies. 

And I have to give myself credit, I have been very patient about all of this. Surely, this will service me sometime in the near or distant future.

You guys must be MUCH nicer people that I could ever hope to be...I hope your H's, at the end of the day, appreciate how loving and...tolerant?...you guys are. H would not dream of opening his mouth in those circumstances. #WrathofMadusa

@sliztee I would just tune him out. I give you major props for putting up with it.

sliztee

Well, here's the thing...he's just so fucking sweet and perfect all the time.

I'll let him have this pass, as I know he was mostly just missing me the entire time he was there, and recognize that I'm the only person he trusts enough to actually complain to. He's my dude.

jomama1618

Ya, mine wouldn't either! Lol That shit wouldn't fly here. Y'all are much nicer people than I  

Eta: I forgot to add my own BF!

So our Internet company is super old. Started as a phone company only, then added dial up when it was a thing. Well in the last year or so another bigger company bought them out. Sounds all peachy and whatever. My problem is, the old company half ass did all the wires, boxes, etc and now the new company is trying to fix issues that pop up without redoing things the correct way. So this poor guy has been to my house 5 times in less than a month and my Internet STILL isn't fixed!!! He is great and is doing everything to fix it, but has to go step by step through all the crap, per policy. So he will be back in the morning. Tired of my internet not working correctly!

H didn't say anything last night when I said "F it!" after a crummy Mother's Day weekend and poured the tiniest glass of wine. It was barely a taste and I'd already been told by my doctor that 5oz a day was fine. Today I feel like absolute poop. It started around noon and has gotten progressively worse. All my H keeps asking is "Do you think it was the wine? I told you not to do that!" Ugh, go away. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't felt it much sooner if it was that drop of wine I had yesterday.

sliztee

It's definitely not the wine, @krzyriver! Tell him to shove it.

I can't breathe!! so congested.

Also its DS 2nd birthday party on Monday and i feel like I have a bazillion things to do.

mytrueloves

Ugh, a letter went to my old address from my OB that I JUST now got saying that they had lab results they needed to go over with me. The only lab work I've had done was an ultrasound at 12 weeks and my pap, so now I'm a nervous wreck. They didn't say anything about lab work when I called to schedule my appointment on Friday. And I have to wait 2 days to find out what's up. 

nugget2ehf

I swear I didn't go to sleep until 3 am last night and somehow I'm not dying today and in a surprisingly (uncharacteristically) good mood. How is this possible?? When I get decent sleep, I'm still dragging. Maybe I should just function on 4 hours of sleep and call it good.

jwebbbber45678

Boo. Anatomy scan postponed again! They called to reschedule it a third time, now it's May 25, I'll be 21.5 weeks! My first pregnancy I had one at 18 weeks. Good thing I'm old as balls and I already had the blood test to reveal the sex or I'd be going crazy with anticipation! I still also feel anxious because I haven't seen the stinky little bean since the 9 week ultrasound. 

momtobx2

My poor 5 year old is puking and has a had a fever. He was fine Sunday morning and that night, it started. I feel so bad because he just looks at me with these sad eyes and cried. Go away puke and fever!

sliztee

@momtobx2 On the plus side...you can probably get some good snugs in? Good luck and hope the babe feels better soon

sammierose464

Aww hope he feels better soon! @momtobx2

millerclanx5

I work for a golf course and we open on Thursday and I have been putting in long days to get things ready in my department (why i have been mia) well my husband works out there too and i got everything done to enjoy today off before things really get crazy and last night he commented “must be nice to be able to have tomorrow off.. some of us are still super busy” uhhh sorry that you worked 4 hour days the last month while ive been there 10 hours a day!

Thank you and Yes! I definitely did get extra snuggles which was nice. He is with his dad for 2 days and I'm sad he is gone.

@sammierose464 thank you!

On the up side, the children had a blast! On the downside, we're going to be cleaning up little foam balls for the rest of our lives. DD's HUGE beanbag chair got a hole in it, and they scattered the stuffing from that. ALL. Across. The. Basement. It's a nice big room with their toys and play kitchen etc. Down there, so it's a great place to play and make a mess. DH is helping right now, and they're running the shopvac trying to get as many as they can... Oh, the joys of kids!

SweetSweetTooth

On vacation and slept like crap. Woke up and couldn't get comfortable so was up for a few hours and it get to sleep in as can't keep the bedroom very dark. I am so tired and we have a busyish day! 19w FTM and still no movement though I ate some ice cream one night and was pretty sure I felt the kid... Nothing since and yes, I have been eating ice cream just in case

chyvie

any excuse to eat ice cream is a good one in my books

sammierose464

I've totally been eating ice cream to feel him move!

SweetSweetTooth

@sammierose464 I think it was your post that encouraged me to buy ice cream! so thank you! 

ninji15

Now I really want ice cream haha!

I am having car issues. The AC is out on my car and its 800 to get it fixed, I still owe 10,000 on it and its worth only about 7,000 if I sell it outright and 5,000 if I trade it in. But dammit I just want to say screw it and get a van. I will need one eventually anyways, but finances say no. Just spend 800 to fix it and 900 in car seats that will fit 3 across and try to make it 3 years at least with what I have. I am so torn. 

babyptobe

@ninji15 I feel you on that one. My DH is upside down on his car too and he's having the same struggle. You may be able to bury your remaining payments in a new lease, you would pay more for the lease (prob 2 or 300) until you pay it off though. Also, did you try a freon shot for the AC? You can get it in a can at a car part store or walmart to give you a boost in the warmer months. I  had a car with no AC for a summer and it was brutal, my issue was a coolant leak.

my BF is a few days late: I'm running hot now, and have been in shorts and tank tops with fans on when I'm home. DH keeps telling me he's cold and that I need to relax with freezing the house up. I told him I'm growing a human (As Ali Wong would say "are you growing a foot inside you right now?!") and I need to be comfortable. It's not even summer yet. I feel like I'm going to turn him into Steve Martin in Father of the Bride 2 and just turn him into a Popsicle by the end of this pregnancy.  

ninji15

@babyptobe yes I did try that! It worked for like a day then I guess the compressor got flooded. Tears. I am just hoping it won't be too hot going forward until I decide what I should do.

sammierose464

I hear you on the car. I love my car (and it's in great condition), but it's too small for our family of 4. It's a Focus ST, and very small. With DH being 6'3" we won't be able to fit a kid behind him. SS will probably fit, but it'll be tight on him. A rear facing car seat definitely won't fit. I still owe about 11k on my car (and really, could trade it in for that) but I love it too much.

SweetSweetTooth

We are trying to figure out what to do with DH vehicle too not fun. Darn you @babyptobe for mentioning a popcicle! I am on a 2 hour read trip and no popcicle ... And now I want one.

acciocoffee

It's Wednesday, but I would like to complain about my AS having to be at exactly 20 weeks. The US place will not do it the week before even though I tried to convince them. I would also like to complain about myself for being so disappointed about having to wait a week longer than I expected. I have a seemingly healthy baby in my belly while people around me have been trying for months/years for a baby. I can wait an extra week to find out what kind of genitals my kid has. Ugh I'm the worst. 

nugget2ehf

@acciocoffee I have been feeling this exact same way. Mine has to be at exactly 20 weeks too. And it seems like the last few weeks have been dragging. I'm jealous other people get to go early, but also the longer you wait, the better it should be. Trying to remind myself that patience is a virtue. Counting down... 8 days.

chyvie

@acciocoffee and @hannaht8516 I'm in the same boat. Mine is scheduled for 19+6 weeks and these next 8 days are going to kill me too! I just want to know what we are having so I can start to plan the nursery and pick a name! I wish we could opt for the blood test and get our insurance to cover it but it's not an option here in Canada and I'm not about to fork over $500 to find out at 10 weeks vs 20 weeks LOL

nugget2ehf

@chyvie Same! We could've done the genetic test, but at the time I didn't want to pay for it, plus I just didn't think finding out that way was as fun. And at the time, I was like "This is going fast, I can wait. It's not a big deal." Now I'm dying!

chyvie

I ate some ice cream as a afternoon snack after already eating a carb-y lunch and now the baby is doing back flips it seems like! It is the most I have felt the bean move for a longer period of time than just a random movement. It is so cool but creepy feeling HAHAH 

cjx95

@chyvie I've been trying the ice cream truck just to feel something!! Still nothing but I know when baby bears on my bladder because it's intense sudden pressure lol 
My Dr would've done an early us but I never got her voicemail to make the appt so I have to wait now for my appt Tuesday and I'll be 20w6d. My own fault for not checking my voicemail more often but im still mad about it.. I Don't want to wait 6 more days

spartan4life

Same here...they won’t do my AS until 20 weeks and I will be 20+1 when I go in. I could have scheduled it a day or two earlier, but my best friends mom is the US tech and only works Fridays so we decided to wait so she could be there. I’m jealous you guys only have 6ish more days...I still have 3 more weeks 

SawyerRichardson

Mine isn't until June 11th! I got lucky though. When I went it for an US to check on my cyst the tech asked if I wanted her to find out the sex. Umm, yes please!

pajamstagrams

AHHHH I've had it with the web version of The bump. Chrome stopped letting me sign in (infinite loop of signing and returning to the stupid homepage.) And so I've resorted to using Edge, which sucks even worse because it's quite possibly the slowest browser ever. Typing on here is like using a type writer. And it doesn't take you to the last read comment, just shoves you down to the bottom with all the click bait. (I've already written an email to customer support letting them know. It worked last time with the awful ads in app!)

chopchop25

@jemmerjams I don't even know what Edge is!? You've got me over here like...

pajamstagrams

It's microsoft's new browser, to replace internet explorer. Don't bother, it sucks. 

chopchop25

It sounds like a razor. Wait, isn't it a razor?

My Mon BF is for Wednesday and it's that it's not Friday afternoon yet.

pajamstagrams

@chopchop25 it probably is a razor name, by some company...

On that related note, all yesterday and all this morning I kept thinking today was Thursday. It was awful.

Update: Internet explorer sucks too. Perhaps firefox is next?

sliztee

Yeah, Firefox is better than any browser but Chrome, in my opinion.
