The worst thing is usually the dishes/DD sippy cups... and with the impending onslaught of bottles I am getting scared for the future.

So over the weekend we were polling our families to see if they thought the baby was a boy or girl, since we have the anatomy scan this Friday. When we asked DH's grandma (sort of as we are walking out the door, so I was facing away from her), she says "well, don't they say it's how you carry it?" And proceeds to caress my butt as she says it!! WTF grandma?! I hate it when my own grandma gets too touchy but this is WAY over the line. I just hope my reaction was clear enough that touching was not permissible (I more or less yelled "and touching my ASS has something to do with how I'm carrying?").
I mean.. we are all prepared (and scared) for eventual belly touching.. but who expected ass touching?
Bahahahaha!
PS. Do I win the thread for the most fitting comment to the title gif?
In case you can't tell, I also got my first belly touch this weekend. It was my SO's friend's wife's mother. I was very taken aback. Then she proceeded to tell me I don't even have a baby bump yet. Ok..... then why did you touch it??? You literally just groped my fat! Lol
Second bitch for today, SO is becoming very short with me lately. I guess he's tired of me complaining (though, honestly I haven't been complaining that much). He also tells me I need to stop being overly emotional. Really, I don't think I'm much more emotional than usual. I mean, I cry at dog food commercials, but I did that before I was pregnant.
I just called him to tell him I'm drained from this weekend, and when he gets home from work I'll need him to entertain the dogs for a bit since I've got a headache and need to lie down. I then got a lecture about how I shouldn't have driven all the way to see my parents (to celebrate their anniversary) the day after we hosted a bbq. Apparently, it serves me right and I should have expected to be this exhausted. Sorry, but that's not what you tell a pregnant lady. I just want some understanding and empathy, dude!
My bitchfest is just that I cannot figure out what to eat, like, on a daily (or multiple times a day) basis. Sometimes things will make me reflux puke, sometimes things will make me nauseous, sometimes things will just sit weird in my stomach and sometimes (like 5%) things will just go normally. But it's like...rarely the same pattern! Gatorade was so helpful to me Friday and now it's making me nauseous. Veggie sushi is normally the safest lunch I can have and today it's just sitting weird. I cannot believe how much I take for granted normal eating when I'm not pregnant. I will never take it for granted again!
bf1 - A coworker went on vacation without telling anyone onsite until 2 hrs before leaving, and her “coverage” is offsite, so that means I’m doing most of the covering.
bf2 - My child refuses to ask a teacher for help wiping after BMs, resulting in way too many pairs of underwear thrown out (or scrubbed, depending on severity). Kid, at 4 years old, you can do so many things and do them well. But wiping your ass isn’t one of them.
I think it was in the Oh Crap pottytraining book she says something about with her 6 year old, wiping is a 2-step process: first he does, then she wipes again to make sure he’s clean. I’d be totally cool with this status at school. We do that at home mosty, and it works well.
I’d mentioned to my family that I’d had a sip of SO’s beer recently and it was sooo good, and my brother said I’d probably be ok to have a glass occasionally. I told him that a nurse had told me that too, but for now I’m more comfortable with just sip here and there.
At a BBQ that night my mom asked if I wanted to try this beer some guy brought and I looked at it and it didn’t seem “worth it”- it was just some random import that didn’t sound great and had a pretty high alcohol content, for a beer. (Beer snob much?) But I took the tiniest (like wet my tongue) sip to pacify her.
Late that night, I was grinding up a prenatal vitamin in a shot glass to mix with water and make a little vitamin shot. It didn’t taste as bad as I thought it would, but I had to try something because I have these new, huge pills and I’d already tried cracking them in half and was still choking on them. Like I thought I was going to die in my parents living room while my niece side eyes me and says “throw up in the bathroom” levels of choking. Lol
Anyway, I laughed that the pill “shot” would be gross because the dog was interested in it (and dogs like gross stuff), and my mom offered me liquor. Wtf, mom, no. I said I might drink a beer occasionally. Not that I’m going to turn my prenatals into shots of hard alcohol.
Also, hey, I’m back. I feel so far behind. I’ll try to lurk some on what’s been going on while I was doing kid vacation. Just wanted to share that I’m back and b*tch about my family because it’s been a long week.
edit- typos... welcome back to those too. I never catch them until I post.
