There's a bill collector (I think) that's trying to get a hold of my brother-in-law. And for some silly reason - I am on this list for them to call? So the dude really had a chip on his shoulder and had no clue how hormonal I could be lol. He ended the call with "I will call you every single day if I have to" and then hung up. So I'm hoping I can get a name and a number so I can just cold call him. I pay my bills!
Ok I know this pregnancy symptom... but why is nausea soo annoying and comes and goes so much? One min I can feel ok and I’m puking 5 mins later. The randomness and lack of control is just so hard. It’s depressing to think I have weeks and likely months feeling this sick! WTF! Haha

I need to take twice-daily shots (blood thinners) .. I’m totally out, sent the refill to the pharmacy yesterday, but for some reason my MFM wouldn’t renew? So I called the MFM first thing today, could only leave a message, now it’s 3pm and still nothing. This will be day 2 without my shots and I’m getting nervous, not to mention I’m pissed at the MFM and wondering if I should see if my hematologist will refill it instead.
@PYLWhammy - that's incredibly frustrating. I'd be pretty ticked off too. I hope someone gets back to you and gets it refilled asap.
@mbradfo2 - DS2 like ketchup on everything too haha
My WTF is WTF cancer?! My dad called me yesterday. My mom has had a cough for for 7-8 months, and I've been bugging her about going to the doctor. She had her appointment and they ordered a CT. She has a very large mass on her lung. The pulmonologist told her he is sure it's cancer. He said he's been wrong before and he will be again, but the odds are not in her favor. She has a PET scan to check for other tumors tomorrow and a biopsy next Thursday. She's 56. She was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer (a very aggressive form that doesn't respond to the three most common treatments) when she was 49 and beat that pretty easily as far as cancer is concerned (no chemo or radiation was needed, just a double mastectomy since they caught it so early). Like why the eff do my parents have to deal with this again and so young? And I think we're all extra scared because we know this cough which was a symptom of the tumor has been around for so long.... Please send any good thoughts/prayers her way.

@mockingjay1 I’m so sorry that you’re going through this 😔. Sending hugs your way.
My WTF is the way my husband’s family reacted to this pregnancy. My SIL won’t talk to me and my FIL was borderline rude. Yes this is number 4 and it was unexpected.. But dang it, this baby is still a gift. I hate all the invasive questions about my private life too. It’s no ones business what form of birth control we were using.
@Ambethsco - oh the judgement about what other people choose to do with their bodies/other people’s opinion about the choice to have no kids or many kids could have me ranting on here ALL day long. I’m sorry to hear your husbands family reacted this way.
@Ambethsco I'll never understand why people feel they can comment on other people's pregnancies and family planning decisions. It is so uncalled for on so many levels.
I know it's not Wednesday anymore, but I'll give a huge WTF to my husband .. today he randomly said "you know, if this baby is another girl I wouldn't be opposed to trying for a third" this is WTF for a few reasons, 1) ummmm let's focus on one pregnancy/baby at a time please, 2) we were on the fence for years about even having a second 3) this is the first my husband has ever expressed a desire to have a son, he really wanted a girl for the first and had previously said he'd be ok with either for this one, 4) see reason #1 again.
