* Whine Wednesday *

What's peeling your banana this week?

(Abba, I figured since your DH went back to work you might not mind that I started this...)

I have a position check today for DD#2 to see if she is head-down or breech. I am nervous about either position b/c I am not sure what I want to do - RCS or VBAC. Last time I went early, so there was no time for DD#1 to flip. I'm not so good with the unknown...

I just have to keep repeating to myself: I can make it until 4:15!

(If she is head down - expect my whine next week to be - What should I do? )

Our new house is done and I just want to move in-now its a waiting game on the bank and lawyers to set up a closing date. DH and I both took off the week of the 14th so we're hoping it's before then-I can't see it taking them more than 2wks to get their act together, but as of yesterday the bank was being a real PITA all of a sudden so things are just getting stressful.

I'm trying my best to put on a cheery face but I'm losing it, I swear.

To put it bluntly- the twins drive me ape $hit. After waking up 3-6x a night for the past 4 1/2months, my patience is worn completely down. Especially with Natalie. We decided she needs to just cry it out. 1am- she cried for 40 minutes- SCREAMING- woke up both boys so I just gave her the darn bottle. Then they've started the- we don't want to nap, we want to play and roll everywhere phase, on top of teething... one of them is ALWAYS crying/fussing. That's on top of Justin running around begging for attention too- which I know is just typical so I try to keep patient. I feel like I'm counting down the minutes until the twins bedtime every day. I'm ashamed to admit I still don't feel that 100% lovey-dovey bond with them. I mean, I love them- they're my babies and there are good times but for the most part I feel like I'm not cut out for this twin mom thing. Everything is so freakin' hard now. Everything.Every day.

Sorry, I'm just extra whiney today.

I don't know how you do it but I want to give you a great big hug right now.

It was not such a good idea to get Thomas's first ever shots done on a day when DH is working late. Thankfully he only got one injection and the rotavirus liquid today because we're splitting up shots. Also, my pedi is totally fine with splitting them up, but the receptionists are really into their policies, so they kept saying we have to wait 6 weeks between shots leading to his 4 month appointment to be scheduled at 5 months. I didn't want to sit there with Thomas screaming explaining that because we split the shots there will be 6 weeks between them (ex. 2 months Dtap, 3 months polio, 4 months Dtap, 5 months polio- there's two months between the same shot), so I just left. I kept telling them that if they keep waiting 6 weeks between shots, the appointments will just get later and later, and soon his 6 month appointment will be when he's 8 months, but they just did not get it. Now I have to call back and try to explain it again. We have to keep an eye on Thomas's flat spot, so I don't want to delay appointments. Ugh.

Oops, I meant to quote MrsWhite: I had a horrible day yesterday and I only have 1 kid, I can't imagine adding twins into that mix. My bff has triplets (and a useless husband) so I try to remember that on my hard days, it could always be harder. I really hope they start sleeping a little better, sleep deprivation is the worst. Any possibility of separating them at night?

ArcticFox · November 2011

I watch the kids just about 24/7, I seriously am never away from them unless I have a Drs appt, and I usually go while DD naps and DH watches 1 kid. I am at the end of my rope, I really need some me time. My 2 year old goes to bed at 10pm because of her long daytime nap, so then I basically just want to flop in bed.

And the one time DH is home (yesterday), he's sick, so he was all whiny and acting like a baby, so I had to watch the kids by myself again and I took a shower at 11pm because I had a playdate first thing this morning.

Then we were late to preschool and I noticed DH hadn't taken out the garbage.

I can't do everything like this any more, today has been a mess and I am so stressed out.

meryltheresa · November 2011

DH is really busy with work, plus his side business, plus getting the nursery ready, so it's like we never see eachother. Yesterday was Tuesday (i'm convinced it's the worst day of the week) and L was being a TERROR to bathe lastnight, so I cried, and DH comes in says, "What is your problem?" Well let's see, I'm tired, large, uncomfortable, your son just dumped an entire bucket of water on the bathroom floor, and we haven't seen eachother in about a month. I wanted to throat punch him.

Our out of network insurance sucks....and my new chiro is out of network. My first adjustment last week brought me 2 nights of pain free sleep, it was still part of the initial free consult so I haven't had to pay yet.

Well, I just can't go back right now. Can't afford it and I don't want to pay money for 2 months and have the deductible reset Jan 1. So I am hoping to start treatment in a couple months. I don't know if it will be doable cost wise then, but at least I can get money back once my deduct is hit.

I want to be pain free so bad! I don't want to go elsewhere (in network) because I love this office! Evening hours, I can bring R, it came recommended....it all just works out perfect and they are family friendly.

MelissaSue81 · November 2011

Mine is work related.. As most of you know.. I've been at my current job basically for 12 years. Things have been going downhill big time there lately..(for the whole last year really but it seems worse since I've been back from mat.leave. They fired about 10 people in the past 6 months.. The last straw is that they just promoted a girl who has been there for 1 year and is a freaking alcoholic with zero responsibility to be shift supervisor. I am hurt and pissed and i don't even know what else. but i spent the time Eve was at school applying for new jobs. This sucks.

June4bride2be · November 2011

I need to whine more.....I am so jealous of ladies who have awesome relationships with their mothers. I am always annoyed with my step mom and step sister, I think it is more jealousy than annoyance. They have an awesome friendship and they don't include me. My SS is 6 mos older than me, married with kids too....I hate that I can't have what she has.

My mom is so odd.....I complain about her here a lot I know. I try so freaking hard to get her in our lives, she b!tches when I don't include her and ignores me when I do! I tried to call/text her last weekend with our plans. R and I were alone most all weekend and I invited her to everything. She didn't respond. She texted me Sun after the Bills game about the win.....nothing about my invites. She responded with a "I was busy". Ugh, so tell me that! Better yet....put your married boy friend on the back burner and spend time with us! She live 15 min away.

My whine has me in tears now, boo =(

That magic cleaning fairy still has not stopped by my house to clean the place.

Ok, seriously, every time I clean a room it is destroyed again within a few hours. The playroom is a disaster & I need to get rid of a ton of toys. I need to start planning out how the boys are going to share a room & how everything is going to fit in there. C's party is at our house this weekend & I am anxious about it because our house is small & a mess I have been eating candy all.day.long.

I hate the dentist. After all my work I'll have more crowns then the country of England. Let's move on to this morning, shall we. My appointment was at 9:30 and I didn't walk out of there until 1pm. I get numbed, then they disappear for 25 minutes. Come back and tell me that I'm not numb enough (ya think?) and leave for another half hour. The dentist obviously had something nice and garlicy for lunch, ugh. So they go to put my crown on and you hear this loud cracking noise. Yup, they broke the tooth. I didn't feel it b/c it was a root canal, but there goes that. Now I'm looking at a bridge. My other crown still hurts after a month so they are going to have to re-do that one. So perfect diet, b/c literally I can't chew anything harder than rice without pain. I just want to scream! I hate that I have bad teeth. They were fine until I went though chemo.

:::HUGS to MrsWhite::: I have no idea how you do it...

-Octbride- My scheduled C-sec was so much easier than my emergency- I was up and around that night and I was off most meds by the beginning of this week...now I have never had a vaginal delivery but a repeat c is not as bad as I thought it would be- FWIW

(and thank you for posting- I hope to get back to it-but keep it alive ladies..seems like we all need this post weekly)

L has become a devil- seriously- and I'm just so tired i dont know what to do about it- I give him individual attention and try to meet his needs before X's but he just wants more- I give him 20 minutes he wants 35...There is only so much I can give and I am trying to be calm with him since its an adjustment for all of us- but dear god, give me strength...I seriously don't know why people do this-

I *think* I might be busting into margaritas tonight

I am super annoyed with the pedi office. First, when we were in for C's 9 month well visit, I tried to schedule her 12 month visit. "sorry, we are only booking 3 months out." Guess what, it IS 3 months out! I called in and scheduled for 11/1. Last week, the office called that our pedi was not in that week, and rescheduled us for next week. Today I just got a call that the pedi is still out, so she is moving out appointment to another time and with another doctor. I told her no thanks. I can't make that time because I need to cover for someone's lunch and I would rather see our regular doctor. She continued to push citing that she needed to keep C on her vaccine schedule and I said no. Now it finally comes out that the dr had emergency surgery and isn't in. Why the hell wouldn't you say that the first time you called to reschedule! We've never seen any other drs so no I won't just agree to bring her to some random person we've never met while I am thinking that our doctor just took some unscheduled vacation. I told her thank you and I would call her back and let her know which dr I would like to schedule with thank you very much and promptly hung up. If it was a sick visit, you get who you get, fine, but I have researched all decisions made for this kid right down to what sort of diaper is ok for her to poop in, why wouldn't I want to check out the drs and see which one I would like to see.

I can't find the dog's shock collar and I've searched everywhere. We switched his dog food and he's like a puppy again and won't stop figuring out every which way to escape from the fenced in backyard. It's a fun game to him and he'll stop once we get the collar on because he's smart enough to figure it out. Gotta keep looking I guess.

Still whining that I want Dh to get a job.

2 days ago we got a call from our old dentist office telling us we were getting a refund of a couple hundred $. I didn't think it was right but since it was from 2 years ago I figured they were right since they have called a couple times. so dh and I were all excited b/c we would have some extra $ and we could have Christmas. Nope they called today and said they were wrong.

RivieraBound · November 2011

My boyfriend's dogs are ruining my house. The yorkie has peed on my couch TWICE now (we are getting rid of the couch anyway but still) and the rotweiler, well its a huge dog! And he drools all over the place, always has a gross eye booger or two... and he sheds like crazy. Also, his cat is always on the counter or dining room table. Pixie is perfect of course lol. We've got to figure out something.

jewelsonu · November 2011

dh and I never have time together. I think if we have 1 hour alone during the week that is a lot. Ethan has decided that 10 is a good bedtime so by the time dh comes back downstairs I am ready for bed or already asleep.

some days our marriage takes a lot of work. I know he is frustrated being a stay at home dad and I am so tired from work. I just want to relax when I come home from work and he just wants to pass the kids off to me.

I feel this way a lot, just vice versa and J is so clingy with me, she just wants to play with him and everything else falls on me. I keep thinking if we can make it though this patch (or the first couple of years) things will improve because we'll have time to work on us. I hope my thoughts are right!
