Post a Rant and a Rave =)

verydisgruntledpelican0091 · November 2013

Thought this would be fun.
My Rant- not having everyone know about the pregnancy. Waiting to see my dr which would happen until January =(
My Rave- bf is coming home 5 days earlier from a work trip and says he's got a surprise for me. My mom says probably a ring haha. I'm hoping a huge jar of extra garlicky dill pickles

JujuB22 · November 2013

Rant- my fiancé is so damn clingy its driving me nuts!
Rave- I totally melt and forgive him for his clingyness when he talks to my belly.

MrsCase1 · November 2013

Rant- this is the slow time of year for my husband's job so he has to work extra long hours just to bring home a decent check so money is suuuuper tight and we never see him.

Rave- It could totally be worse. Totally. Overwhelmed by blessings every day... I just have to keep my attitude in check. OH, and whipped cream.

liberty95 · November 2013

Rave: I'm going to a wedding tonight and have been dreaming of cocktail hour appetizers for daysssss.

Rant: despite being altered my dress is just a touch too long and I have to wear heels. I hate high heels. Part of the reason I love being a nurse is wearing sneakers to work!

christinemurray91 · November 2013

Rant - I can't taste anything! Well, I can, but I have to eat foods with lots of spices if I want to be able to.... like, wtf, pregnancy? At least let me enjoy the food I actually want to eat.

Rave - I'm feeling kind of sick today, so raving that its the weekend and DH is here to pick up some of the slack.

SchoolPsychSteph · November 2013

Rant-I really don't want to go to my sister's house for late thanksgiving, but I haven't seen her in a while so I'm going.

Rave-wearing my maternity jeans today made me actually want to get dressed up! Day of shopping, here I come!

CindyJill27 · November 2013

Rant: DH and I got into a fight. He wants to have the finished basement clean and rid of boxes and tells me that its all my crap. WE JUST MOVED INTO OUR NEW HOUSE!!!! IT DOESN"T ALL HAVE TO BE PUT AWAY RIGHT AWAY!!! And if you want it cleaned so badly why don't you ever offer to help with them!?! It'd get done quicker with 2 people than one! GRRRR (preg hormores are deffinately kicking in and i'm not putting up with anything these days.)

Rave: We saw our little peanut together for the first time on our u/s screening appointment and to see DH's face light up in amazement was priceless. Watching our little peanut bounce around was an amazing feeling. We also got a sneek peak in the sex of our peanut.

Feeling so much more real now

katekat8721 · November 2013

Rant: All day nausea. Go. Away. Please *sobs*

Rave: It's past noon and I'm still in my PJ's. I'm about to go take a shower, and then get back into PJ's

rainbowdashh · November 2013

Rant: my daughter will not sleep. All night long nursing is not working for me anymore and I don't know how to change it.

Rave: my poop baby is gone and I feel like a new woman. Also, I'm going to target today and I've got money to spend!

I have another rave. I love this thread! It is an awesome Idea and we should make this a regular thing

This makes me really happy !!! I always have a rant but it can get depressing to read them. So a rave also is awesome

thank you much !!

tbmadeamistake · December 2013

Rave: I brought home all that Lindt and it's delicious

Rant: I then looked into it more and discovered that all of the milk chocolate (most of the truffles) have barely malt powder in them, meaning gluten, meaning I shouldn't be eating them. Fuck. Having never had a bad reaction, I am continuing to eat them in moderation and will monitor myself...and I will enjoy all of the dark/white chocolate ones as often as I like.

mikmama · December 2013

Rant: The hubs has a cold and is acting like a complete baby. I feel kinda bad for him, but really, it's nothing compared to how I've been feeling the past several weeks.

Rave: Got our Christmas tree today! Do excited for our last holiday season as DINKs

Julie&Micah · December 2013

Rant - DH and DD are both getting sick. DH is the WORST when he is sick! He can't be bothered at all and is so dramatic about it. I am just getting over that sickness after 3 weeks and I've been sick and tired for three MONTHS with this pregnancy! Sheesh, you don't have to sleep and whine all day long when you've only been sick two days! End rant....that felt so good to get out, he's been driving me bonkers!

Rave - We had late thanksgiving dinner today with family....so much good food!!!!

verydisgruntledpelican0091 · December 2013

Rant! Another night alone.
Rave!! Another night alone. Lol.

It's a total love hate. I love sleeping in the middle of the bed and eatting my dill pickle chips as loudly as I want with out being bothered.
But being alone for so long sucks.
Oh and my friend got engaged .....to my ex haha. It's gonna be an awkward wedding to be maid of honour for

LindsayDesigner · December 2013

Rant: My back is feeling weird, thanks pregnancy! I guess it's better than the freaky rib pain I had last time.

Rave: I made potato salad this evening from the America's Test Kitchen cook book. Holy crap it is SO GOOD. I just need to make sure I don't eat it all tomorrow before our family dinner.

melaneejo · December 2013

Rant: I hate my CNA tonight. She is mean to my patients and lazy! I also hate that all I want is a Jamba Juice... And now queso with beans and chips (thanks @joules235 )

Rave: I am off in an hour and have 3 days off. Also I should be getting some happy packages in the mail this week... Aka maternity clothes. Yes!!!!

hjl050308 · December 2013

Rant: DH just left for CO for work until the baby is born. Thankfully we're staying with my parents for 6 months.

Rave: today is day 3 of baking delicious Christmas cookies. Can't wait to be the taste tester

Nancy1250 · December 2013

Rant: I miss the "high" my career gave me.

Rave: I am totally into the "high" being pregnant gives me.

Plus, yesterday was a beautiful day. Spent the day poolside w/ bikini and tiny little bump having perrier and lime w umbrella chatting with my amazing friend. She even brought all her pregnant pics from 10 years ago (oh the fashion...) I nearly peed in my bathing suit. And we had sushi

LKHoffa · December 2013

Rant: DH is surfing the internet while I do ALL the housework. Ummm how about some help?! Rave: I'm taking a nap now AND we are going back to my hometown for Christmas in 3 weeks!!

mrsgyaray · December 2013

Rant: DH... I am now gagging in the kitchen cleaning while he's at work b/c he keeps putting it off and I just can't take it anymore.

Rave: I don't really have one right now.

Holy cannoli! That WILL be awkward!

erind228 · December 2013

Rant: We took our house off the market until after the holidays. I feel like our realtor(family friend) did absolutely nothing but throw a for sale sign in the front yard. I'm sad, I'm ready to move. Hopefully, when we relist it in Feb. (with a new realtor) we will have more luck and be out of here by June.
Rave: My husband took me for sushi today for lunch. I've been craving it for like 4 weeks. It was so good. Then we had sex.( haven't been doing that much lately) Now he is rubbing my feet!
