+1 @knottieamusements I feel like I haven't slept in years it would be nice to sleep in and actually feel rested.
I am so over working for a living. I need a sugar daddy or whatever they are called now. But I am doubting anyone wants to support someone with (soon to be) 3 kids and a husband. Plus my diet should probably improve past pizza so I can at least look the part. Oh well. Probably have to start playing the lotto instead.
+1 for sleep. Bitching bc I have all day workshops on Wed, Thurs and it’s supposed to be SO nice those days so the last thing I want to do is spend the day locked inside. Also bc we don’t really have mosquitos here but I woke up with SEVEN bites on the back of my left knee yesterday. Wtf.
Irrational BF: I already posted this on my ticker change thread but this rain in SoFlo is killing me. It's been over a week of straight rain. It ruined everyone's pool/beach/boating plans for Mother's day and now the forecast is saying at least 80% chance of rain ALL WEEKEND. It's irrational I know but its also super annoying.
Why is it so f-ing hard to get a contractor to call you back? I want to pay you a LOT of money to do this standard work....could be a summer-maker for someone...and yet- my timeline gets pushed back and pushed back because I can't find one reliable contractor to be responsive enough to feel good about booking them., UGH!
My bitchfest is directed at last week me, who forgot that we had our anatomy scan Friday morning and told our nanny she didn’t have work Thursday or Friday because we planned to go up to Maine Wednesday night. So now she has plans Thursday and can’t come which is obviously fine bc it was my fuck up, but I really need her to watch the kids Friday morning while we’re at the scan, and I feel extra shitty reneging on her because Friday is her birthday. So if she doesn’t want to come in I’m obviously going to be cool with that because I said she had the day off and it’s her birthday, but then we’d have to bring the kids to the anatomy scan which will be a shit show, and a miserable shit show if we get any news that’s less than perfect, and then we’d have to drive back out of the city and pick the dog up before heading up to the cabin. Last week me has caused quite a headache for current me.
@DunkinDecaf do you have family or friends close by that could watch the kids for a couple hours or do they have a sitter they could recommend?? Hope you find something that works out!
Very annoyed this Monday because I feel like I just can’t get healthy! Had a cold/sinus infection a few weeks ago and had to miss 2 days of work and then this last week I got another one and had to leave work early! It wouldn’t be so terrible if I wasn’t trying to save my PTO for when baby gets here. Anyone have anything that has really helped them with a head cold during pregnancy? My doctor recommended a netti pot but I’m afraid I’ll feel like I’m drowning!
@mamabearcj normally we would, but my parents are on vacation and MIL will already be in Maine getting the cabin ready. Worst case scenario we can ask my brother but he gets wicked anxiety when he has DD1 because he’s the fun uncle, so she doesn’t listen to him, which he really doesn’t know how to deal with. Might see if she can stay at preschool for aftercare for one day (she usually doesn’t) and have my brother just watch DD2. Idk. Going to see what our nanny says first. It’s at least conceivable that she won’t mind coming in for a few hours and this won’t be such a big problem.
Mine is DH has woken me up when I am laying flat on my back despite telling him it is ok and my body will wake me up when I need to move or I will move while asleep. It came up when we were in bed and he got all defensive saying he didn't have to wake me up and he was just looking out for me and the kid. I felt bad so I just said keep waking me up. Ugh he still seemed grumpy/hurt by my original reaction to him waking me up.
@DunkinDecaf I am so sorry you've got to deal with that. I've got my 'It'll all work out!' hat on for you - a great appt that isn't too long with phenomenal news and then out for a mini family celebration of ice cream and such
@MissBridg ugh I feel you on the contractors. They've been such a PITA. We finally have two coming this week, but couldn't even go with the lowest offer bc that contractor sucked at communicating.
@DunkinDecaf I hope you find someone to watch the kids. I'm not sure how old your kids are but can you bring an ipad and let them watch a movie. DS1 came to my AS last year because we thought he would be interested, he didn't care at all and watched a movie on DH's phone the entire time.
@DunkinDecaf I really hate when past me messes things up for future me. And that sucks generally- of course you don’t want to take kids to the scan. Hopefully the nanny comes through!
My BF is that I can’t kick this headache! It went away during my amazing prenatal massage yesterday but now it’s back with a vengeance. Tea usually helps but it’s not cutting it today and Tylenol never does the trick. As I’m writing this I’m realizing I probably need to just drink more water...I’m so impressed by those of you who have been on it with hydration. I need to steal a page from your playbook.
@rc-cola remember that hydration after a massage is crucial. They typically release all of the toxins and whatnot built up in your muscles, and your body needs water and electrolytes to flush all of that out.
I've been so congested lately, today's headache is thanks to that. Apparently, I've also been snoring more lately. Of course DH complains, but I rarely complain about his. He ended up sleeping on the couch last night because apparently I was snoring loudly and twitching violently on top of taking up "so much room" with my pillow.
@Rc-cola they should have told you about the hydration, which is a fail on their end. Mine always reminds me. I only get them done once or twice a year, but they always greet me after with a glass of water and tell me to drink up.
I'm now looking even less forward to my trip to Boston next week. We are now busy all day Wed and Thurs including dinners both nights. I'm flying home Friday and don't plan to do much work. I think sleeping will be in order. It sucks too because I'll miss SS's tball game and our time with him Tues/Wed. I'm glad we at least have him for the weekend because I'm going to miss him like crazy by then!
I've been told on two separate occasions in the last 5 days that I am "big" for how far along I am (17 weeks). This is my first kid and I honestly don't think I look *that* big!

Who the heck even says that? So rude! I'm sure you look wonderful!
@belo290 sorry people have said that! @chopchop25 I have had people try what I think is the 'kinder' way of saying I am large and saying it could be twins. people don't know how to have conversations!

@chopchop25 We just got back from out of town this past week spending time with family.... my sister in law said, "I doubt you'll go over your due date since you're already so big for 17 weeks" and then yesterday my old lady neighbor noticed my belly and said, "Oh you are pregnant!" she asked how far along I was and then responded with, "oh wow- you're already so big!" seriously... I just laughed as I typed that out. People are SO dumb sometimes!
It's not really a BF, but my AS is on Thursday, and I just can't handle this wait. It's already been so long! I'm not going to get anything done all week.
I feel like I look huge, but baby was in 47% for size during my AS. He's just pushed everything up. I don't understand why people feel the need to comment on size.

Yes, it is really annoying. I am on the west coast but getting a ton of rain all week too . My brother went for vaca to Miami over the wknd and just had all rain
my BF is that I'm starving. ALL the time. I've already gained enough weight but I can't stop eating. And don't even try to offer me healthy shit. I want carbs... all the carbs!
My grandma jokingly said I'm starting to get fat when I saw her this weekend haha. To be fair, I do look more like I've gained weight than a true bump. but that didn't bother me, what bothered me more was the belly touching. I mean, it's my organs at this point. Uterus is still around the bellybutton...
my BF is although I'm happy to FINALLY be back in our office after being displaced from Harvey, I had to spend all morning moving myself from my old desk with my old team up to my new team. My back has been killing me since I hurt it Friday, so standing and bending over and packing just made it so much worse...and then I had to push all my stuff on a cart up to my new desk! And then desk dive to set up all the monitors and cords. Bad day to wear a dress lol. At least I don't need to unpack because I think we are moving again in a week.
@rc-cola get a tumbler with a straw in it. for some reason you drink so much more with a straw than gulping a glass.
My BF is that the DH asked me to go to the park with him and the dog today after work because it's gorgeous out. Not to take a nice walk together, but so i can just watch him fish the fresh water reservoir. Looks like I'll be taking a romantic walk with my dog. lol
Ugh. After a hectic couple of weeks and feeling like poop most of the time, the house is an absolute disaster. Our basement still has a ton of those little foam pellets everywhere, I hadn't done dishes for a few days, laundry was washed (so we didn't have to go naked) but almost all of it wasn't put away. The children had fruit loops this morning so you couldn't walk in the living room without crunching cereal at every step. Today I told the kids we should clean the house and surprise dad with a clean house. Wouldn't that be so FUN to surprise dad! Yeah, you can see where this is going. It was torture to get them started. I try and keep upbeat and say stuff like 'let's quick pick up these books' 'great! Now please put your shoes away' etc. I hope it helps them not feel overwhelmed and maybe not dread cleaning quite so much. Sighs. The house is MUCH better now but I feel ick from having to bend over and pick up trash, etc. I get irritated at DH cuz it seems like I have to pick up after him half the time and the children the other half. Had to hang up his hoodies, put his laundry in the hamper that is 2 feet over from his pile of laundry, put his shirts away after I miraculously folded em and left them for him, and get his jeans put away. I know it's not really fair of me because he has done tons to help! He's actually helped take care of my cat that he hates, and takes care of the kiddos once he gets home, which is huge for me cuz I'm usually about ready to pull my hair out by then. And I know he's tired after his day at work. But I still get bugged at him, even if it is a tad irrational.
I make this sound like a total party to have kids don't I? They really are lots of fun, and make you laugh yourself silly, make you want to pull your hair out, and give them the biggest bearhug and never let go, usually all within 5 minutes. Just feeling pooped out right now and ready for supper. DH is grilling hamburgers and he's a pro at it so I'm looking forward to that! And after he mopped the kitchen floor and took out all the trash. He really is a good guy, even if I'd like punch him at times. It's hard to glare and smile at the same time...
My BF is the sudden explosion of mosquitoes in the house!? No windows open, doors open, nothing and they're everywhere!! Im supposed to be safe from this bs inside the house...
By the time I got home yesterday I was exhausted and had a sinus headache that was pounding. DH seemed in a fine mood when i got home, but at some point completely shut down. He told me he was frustrated "with everything", but wouldn't explain what was going on. He decided to go outside to the garage to relax, so I went to lay in bed. I ended up falling asleep because my headache was so bad. Eventually he came back in, took a bath, and crawled into bed. By this time I was awake, so we just laid in bed. I tried to get him to talk, but he wouldn't.
This AM I was complaining about how the last two nights I've woken around 3 or 4 am and laid awake for an hourish. He responded with telling me he's barely able to sleep because of my pregnancy pillow.
So now, I feel like shit. He won't tell me what was wrong last night, he's still pissy today and just makes me feel like a huge inconvenience. I'm miserable most days. I'm trying to keep the house together while still taking care of myself. Yet his life is so bad lately.
I feel like he's always in a funk, which gets frustrating. And as someone who's been treated for depression for 8 years (and also a psychologist) I wish he would seek help, but he doesn't see the issue.
Re: Monday BF (May 21)
I just want to sleep for a few hours- really sleep, and not feel like I was just lying in bed with my eyes closed.

Also your DH needs to get some earplugs and just deal with it!
