That's what I'm worrying about too is now that I'm showing. I used to work at Starbucks when I was still searching for my career job but now I can't handle a job like that or Target because I don't want to be on my feet all day as I get more preggo. I am trying to find ways to make some money from home-- best of luck to you! I will post if I find any legit companies hiring momma's to work from home!

My MIL has a ton of girly stuff from our nieces that she is holding on to for us (since before we were even married) and wants to know the sex of the baby, even though we are team green..
She wants us to have the tech write it down so we can sent it to her so she knows if she should keep the stuff or not. I totally understand it but in the back of my mind I'm kind of like well if we don't know, no one gets to! From the time of our a/s to the birth it's only 20 more weeks and since they live 13 hours away we won't get to see them any time before that happens. Am I being petty?

Not. One. Bit. She sounds like my mom. It's you're life! This morning I just told my mom I didn't care what she thought about the baby names we have picked out. She can wait. This pregnancy is about YOU sweetheart!

Also I like getting my u/s cervical checks but man I hate the dildo-cam! I have to shave and get all presentable for it.

Lol to the dildo cam. And getting presentable? Worst part of the whole thing! Hell, I can't even reach my calves without holding my breath. And my bikini area? Pfft! All by feel, and I am so nervous I will cut myself, ha ha!

Umm... Tmi alert!?! (Just warning what Imma bout 2 say) I squat in the floor over a large hand mirror. You get the horrendous view of all your lovely lady parts, but it works! The day I had my son, my husband had to help me. (I was getting regular cervical checks because by 30 weeks I was 1cm and 60% effaced and would increase by week.)

My very minor complaints for the day:

1)My husband thinks that drinking orange juice straight from the carton and leaving me a quarter of a glass for my breakfast is okay and kind of funny. That OJ is what I look forward to now that coffee isn't a part of my routine!

2)My maternity pants won't stay put where I want them to and they make my underwear shift too! I know this probably means they are slightly too big but they don't feel too big!

Also the awesome belly band that all of my formerly pregnant friends swore by and loved so much does nothing! My pants don't stay put in an appropriate place and that thing just shifts all around. Doesn't matter if I use the S/M size or the M/L size....

Speaking of ILs...my SIL is a real PITA. She spends zero time with my son, but looooves to spend her parents' money on gifts for him the 2x per year she does see him. I've asked my ILs very kindly now about 100 times to limit the number & size of toys they give to DS because they were starting to go crazy and (a) he doesn't really love / use toys (other than toy cars), he much prefers books / drawing / musical instruments - creative stuff and (b) we live in a 2BR apartment and there is literally no room to store these things.

So what does my SIL get him for his birthday? This HUGE floor piano from FAO Schwartz (like the one from the movie Big), and a life size Elmo doll that talks. It takes up an entire corner of our living room, and of course DS played with it for about 3 minutes and wasn't interested any more.

This weekend when we went to visit my ILs I brought both up and asked them to store them for us. I'm sure my SIL is going to see them up there and get upset, but come on! I've been really polite about explaining our space constraints, and it's like she purposely ignores me...I don't want to seem ungrateful, but for three (almost four) people to live in such limited space, we really need to restrict the amount of stuff in the house!

I couldn't find a comfortable position last night . Sleeping on my sides made my hips hurt, sleeping on my back made my back hurt. Then to top off my sleepy Monday I'm sick today

So a couple weeks back I put in a request for some magazine computer records to be batch deleted as they were no longer in use/out-of-date. Today I just got assigned the task of deleting said records and was told they had to be done right away. Wait...huh? Hello?! I put in the request for someone with higher computer access to do it because they could do a batch delete of the records and be done!! Me? I have to open each and every single issue of each magazine were have and delete each one! Do you know how many Newsweeks we're talking about here? One a week since 2002!!! That is 520 issues for only ONE magazine!!!! That's what I get for being a low man on the totem pole I guess.

I think my eyes are starting to look like this...

I haven't clicked on it, but why are people clicking on the Miley Cyrus? (I can't stand her!) So, since people keep commenting on it, I keep seeing her name!

Ohhh I have so many but mainly today I think my lunch was too big
In proportion but I ate it all anyway. Since 1 pm, I have had a full and hurting belly and I'm also totally bloated. I hate this feeling. I wish it would just go away. I'm considering bypassing dinner, but I know I will wake up at midnight starving.

Pregnant girl problems

I have another one:
I'm the birthday person at work-- meaning I make everyone's cake. Today I was informed in our weekly meeting that they want me to let the new girl take-over because I'm pregnant. What the hell does me being pregnant have to do with not being able to make cake? I understand someone new taking over come January, but we only have 3 more birthdays for the year and the last is in mid-November. Let me make cake, damnit!

@BMReid - you can come over and make cake round these parts ANY DAY!! Seriously....get yer butt over here!

My beeatch fest for the day is.....I'm pretty eff-ing sure I'm showing and that it's obvious to anybody and everybody that I'm pg. So why are some people so rude about it?! I was in the bank the other day and get there ahead of this guy. I'm doing some work banking and work has premium status because of a crap-load of accounts. So I'm in the premier line. He's in the regular line. The commercial wicket opens.

Now - I get there first so I go from Premier to commercial and he starts yelling about why I go ahead of him. So I ask him if he has commercial banking to which he yells no (and of course keeps whinging). So I've got commercial banking, I got there before you and I'm pg and why do you think you should go before me?! Seriously!?!

The poor woman apologized on behalf of him being so rude!

That is only one of a handful of complaints about the treatment I've seen/received so far and it's pretty much all been from men.

Oh.....one more.....I love my Mom dearly but the other day she said "ohhhhhh you even look pregnant from behind!". Eff you Mom, eff you.

@BMReid - guiness chocolate?! Fancy sharing the recipe on that one?

I'm a big fan of banoffee pie and it's super easy to make. Oh....and I rock chocolate chip cookies and any/all kinds of muffins.

I didn't fancy baking the other day so went to the grocery store across the road from us and bought a cake! A whole cake! (For no reason except that I wanted it hehehe).

OH I am jumping on this train FO SHO!

First day of school sucks a giant hairy donkey dick! Any student/faculty/staff/clinical issue that could happen is happening and OF COURSE they all seem to think I can fix their issue NOW. Being the only staff person for an entire division is ridiculous.

This is a day I wish whole heartedly that I could go home to a bottle of wine. BAHHHHHH

& as much as I love that the students are excited and happy for me (and they're nursing students so a preggy lady is like fresh meat! HA!) and want to chat, I feel awful for being like, "thanks, mmk go away now," haha. The first day is NOT the day to come in and chit-chat.

**wanting to pull my hair out**

I love reading all thes.

Mines about coworkers: I don't know what it is lately that's making no one take me seriously, but I'm getting real sick of it! None of the other managers get this kind of attitude and blatant disrespect and I'm fed up.

Also, one of the other managers keeps bitching about me feeling sick and having to cover for me. First off, you covered 2 hours for me one time, and I even offered to compensate you for it. It's not my fault I'm feeling sick all the time, I hate it too you know!

(She's also one of the ones who brags to me about 'never getting sick' when she was pregnant. Good for you.)

My father acts in local plays and has recently taken a "stage name" - "Jack Mahoey". Now he won't stop calling my child "Mahoey". He also won't stop calling it a boy. Is it just me or is the whole people touching your stomach thing really annoying. I love my dad, but if he calls my child by his stage name or says its a boy while touching my stomach again I will flip out!

ashleywiz · August 2013

If I may add...this day can truly go somewhere and die...blah! Have I mentioned work blows donkey wiener lately?

We spent a week together with my family on vacation. The bedroom my husband and I were ssigned had a bed made out of foam on top of a fold out frame. It was so uncomfortable I couldn't sleep. Instead of having an ounce of sympathy for me my sister-in-law screamed ay me and told me I was bringing "negative energy" into the house and that no one wanted me there. I have confirmed with my family that this was not true. Now how do I forgive her for being so rude..
