Whiny/WTF Wednesday anyone ??

Melicakes · September 2011

Ladies am I the only one who needs to do some whining about things ? Let's get it out of our systems! I will start : -Whyyyyyyyyyy won't this nerve pain in my leg go away already !!!! It's not sciatica, but I wish it was because at least there are ways to get relief! What's really sucky is it is specific to my left side so sleeping on that side is almost impossible and I've had to sleep on my right ( which I know is fine but the left is "preferable" according to the Dr.) But the pain isn't just while I am sleeping, nope. I can be standing ,sitting or for goodness sakes using the bathroom and there goes the tingling and burning ...UGH - WTF is up with my "best" friends ? They both know how much heartache I was going through with IF and how elated I am that finally my miracle baby is on the way. My mom bless her heart has been planning my shower pretty much since my 7th week, no lie. Neither one of my BFFs has offered any $$$ towards the shower, which is fine because I know times are tough and one of them is actually out of work. But they haven't offered any time to help my mom either and I am just so disappointed about it. My mom has waited for this moment for so long and God bless her heart wants it to be as special as possible since this could be the only time I might be pg the poor thing has been crafting, cutting, gluing and who knows what else all by herself for literally the last few months. She won't let me help because she wants me to be surprised by what she put together and she won't take any money from me either! I just don't think it's fair... -WTF is up with my father who also hasn't offered to help my mom with anything regarding the shower... That's what I've got for now... who knows I could be back later.... Who's next ?

WhyTF can't I sleep? I am beyone exhausted and am sick of hearing people say this is just practice for when the girls get here. Well they aren't here (thank God) and momma needs some rest.

In relation WTF is with people telling me how exhausted I look. No sh!t... I haven't gotten more than 3-4 hours of sleep since getting pregnant. I know I look like hell, no amount of concealer is going to work on these bags, but you don't need to stare at me like I'm dying. I don't want your pity and I don't need the comments.

WTF is soda off limits (I know the reason and it's a good one) but I WANT IT. Specifically McDonald's coke which is like crack to me not pregnant. I had a small this morning and it certainly isn't GD approved and was only the 2nd time I've had caffiene all pregnancy. I could have used the large though. Ice cold coke....mmm.

WTF is up with swollen ankles/feet. I have fat rolls coming over my converse. You heard right converse-I am rockin my chuck taylors at work today bc they are the only thing my sausages will fit in.

HEARTBURN!!!! I am sooo sick of it! No amount of tums seems to help (and it's causing constipation which is awesome). I eat a freaking cracker and my chest is on fire.

next...

I'm so over work. I am in sales, and I am in and out of my car all day, and I am just to the point where I could care less. It hurts to get in the car. It hurts to get out of the car. I am out of breath every time I walk in and out of the parking lot. I am tired of carrying my computer, my ipad, my sales materials, and my purse everywhere I go. As soon as it seems like the weather is going to let up, it gets hot and sticky again. I am tired of strangers staring at my belly. I don't even care about my sales numbers anymore, and as much as I have tried to stay focused the past few weeks, I am really lacking any motivation right now. I was even dreaming about quitting my job when I woke up this morning!

I am seriously thinking about asking my doc if he can write me to go out on leave early. He would do it - he doesn't want me traveling as it is. My doc is probably going to induce at 39 weeks anyway, and my baby is already measuring as if I am 40 weeks. Would it be horrible if I asked him to pull me out at 38 weeks - lord knows how much baby I will be carrying by then. I was planning on taking 19 weeks total, and if I was going out at 39 weeks anyway, it would only be cutting in to one week of my time with the baby.

I know I should just suck it up and keep working, but is this even fair to my employer right now? I honestly love being pregnant and I don't mean to complain because I know how lucky I am, I just didn't really expect the physical difficulty of being this pregnant and working this particular job. Thanks for the opportunity to vent!

Can I join you? I just got back from the OB. Not dilated or effaced yet. Come on baby I'm ready!

I wish my MFM/OB was closer. I'm feeling particularly paranoid, even though I'm sure these are all normal prengnacy pains, but my doctor is over an hour away. I just want some reassurance.

. DEF ditch the sales aids!!! Here, if we got out on STD, that's not considered part of FML or maternity. Maybe that's ur case too. If ur ob put u on std here, u would get that in addition to the rest of the leave.

Don't get me wrong -- I LOVE being pregnant and have been VERY fortunate to have a fairly uneventful pregnancy - but the last week has been really hard. I can't sleep more than 2 hours at a time (and am lucky if I get 4 hours a night). Last night I had stomach pains so bad I didn't know what was up (learned from DH that I had gas which means I wasn't very "attractive and ladylike" last night in my sleep - he'll probably never want to have sex with me again). Shaving my legs is an Olympic event, and I hit the point where getting in and out from a chair or bed is definitely YouTube worthy.

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm going to make it for 8 more weeks...I feel bad complaining b/c I'm so incredibly blessed to be pregnant, but man its hard somedays!

I'll play!

WTF is wrong with this lady I work with? Every afternoon we have to do carpool with 3 classes of 3/4yr olds where we load them into the car (luckily most of them can climb in by themselves).

Although it isn't hard work and I certainly don't mind doing it, I think it would be nice every once in a while if this new teacher at school offered to load a few every now and then! She just stands back and watches myself and another teacher do all the sweating and work! It's still a million degrees here and I'm obviously pregnant PLUS I've been sick with a horrendous sinus infection for the past week... really, lady? You can't find the will to buckle a few car seats so I can get a sip of water? REALLY?!!!

Lazy Biotch.

Ugh... I feel a little better now. Thanks.
