I really posted this because I am so pissed at myself and everyone is still asleep so I need to bitch somewhere.
I thought I would be proactive yesterday and make ahead some lunches for the week. I got two packages of chicken breast, marinated one and baked it, and stuck the other in the crock pot.
I shut the crock pot off last night and left it to cool for a while so I could put the chicken in the fridge. And then I promptly forgot about it til this morning. So there goes a ten dollar meal down the drain. Ugh, it smelled so good too...
@legallyginger I would totally do that and kick myself for it!! So frustrating. My bitch is just that I've been awake for hours. I didn't realize I would someday wish for the frequent but quick wake-ups of earlier pregnancy.
My bitch is NJ weather this winter. I know we got it SO easy last winter, but it doesn't mean mother nature needs to go crazy this year. One storm this morning and another scheduled for Tues into Wed. Working from home is out of the question since we're completing the monthly close. (
I'm overdid it yesterday. Was in the uncomfortable car seat an hour each way to take DD to her little friends bday party. At the party I was on my feet 2 hours walking around, helping DD get on and off rides. Then went to the grocery store. I've been hurting all night, started in my butt then moved up to my lower back. Also feel tightening/pressure in my abdomen like baby is stretching me out. I'm so uncomfortable.
Our nursery was completed yesterday when I put up my HANDMADE curtains so posted pics on Facebook because people have been asking to see the baby's room. Well one of my best friends whom I love dearly commented, "Now you just need blackout curtains!" I really do love her, but wanted to respond with, "I MADE curtains and no they aren't blackout but they'll do so fuck off."
And my bellybutton hurts so bad and apparently no amount of telling H that it hurts so please stop touching it is getting through his thick skull.
I don't want to go to work. I am over it!!!! I get too exhausted, my feet swell, and the kids in my class irritate the crap out of me when they're really not doing anything wrong. I'm tired of coworkers feeling like they have to fill the silence with conversation as they pass me in the hallway, most end up offending me, "you're about to pop!" "You look so tired!". YES I am tired. I'm carrying a 6lb+ baby around everywhere I go. I just want to stay home, clean my house and get it perfect, and lay on my couch for the next 5 weeks before he comes. But no, I have 5 more weeks of this torture and it ain't gonna get any easier.... This was more of a pity party than a bitch fest, sorry!
@legallyginer I have done this so many times! I like to take meat out the freezer to defrost and then forget about it. Now I have to set alarms to remind myself.
My bitch is summer. I am ready for it to be over here, and fall to start. Pre-pg I ran cold, but since 3 months in I run hot. That plus the "nice" weather means I can't get through a day without pitting out... a few times... in my dry clean only work clothes. It's disgusting and expensive which is one of my least favorite combos.
I itch. My arms and legs especially but everywhere. And my goddamn skin isn't dry, I just itch. I'm going to explode if MH asks me again if I tried lotion. Yes, I tried lotion, like 12 kinds so STFU and stop telling me not to scratch.
@legallyginer I have done this so many times! I like to take meat out the freezer to defrost and then forget about it. Now I have to set alarms to remind myself.
I do this too. It is the worst feeling!
My bitch is that I am tired of sleeping on my side. My glutes ache so bad from sleeping like this and I can't find a way to stretch them without my huge tummy being in the way
I'm over work at this point. I love that my drs have me on "limited activity" and tell me to have me feet up/lay on my left side as much as possible, but still have me at work. Being a teacher, especially to lil first graders, there's no resting through the day. I'm constantly on the go. To boot, I'm inclusion this year so that adds a new level of stress and effort. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and my students are all little loves, but I've hit my wall. Sit as much as possible at work...yeah, ok....
I know there are bigger/better things to both about than the overheard "I'm uncomfortable" but I'm annoyed, pissy, and I don't care.
Effing indigestion!! I was up more last night because of it than to pee! I've been relying on tums, but think I'll be getting something OTC to use and see if it helps more.
One more bitch.. I officially can't hide the waddle anymore. And I hate people.. I don't need to have everyone tell me I walk like a penguin.
Agreed! My mother is like "oh look she's waddling how cute". I look at her and say "yes because her head is in my vagina and this is my only way of walking." It helps that we are in public when she says this because then she doesn't respond.
Apparently she doesn't like talking about vaginas in public.
Mine is that my H has had a cough all night. Won't take any medication for it. He's pissing me off. I'm about to jam Nyquil down his throat.
WHERE TO START.... I came home fri and our heat was out, we live in an apt. for now so we called maintenance they looked at it told us they would be back sat morning to fix it, its still not fixed they put it to run in emergency heat which will make out power bill go through the roof. Thankfully I live in NC , winter is crazy here snow last week and it today its 65 so no need for the heat !
Also its Monday, I couldn't find anything to wear my feet are swollen , it took an hour to get to work bc of traffic. AND T.M.I I have hemorrhoids that hurt like a bitch and WONT go away !!
OK I M DONE, Happy Monday

I wasn't in the greatest mood when I went out to dinner with my folks, given that we'd just come from visiting my dying grandfather in the hospital. Doesn't make a girl cheery.
We went for Mexican. My parents had beers. I had a VIRGIN frozen margarita. (Very tasty, by the way --- the place made all its own mixes so it was like a fantastic sour frozen lemonade in a pretty glass.) I just wanted something to make me feel special, yanno?
On the way out I get cornered by a random lady who felt the need to demand, "you weren't DRINKING, were you????"
To second FBW, my maternity jeans are starting to get snug. Like pretty uncomfortable for the bliss that maternity pants are supposed to provide. It makes me miserable and I don't even want to get dressed in the morning.
You've fought the good fight, time to give it up and go full mumu.

STABBY. I felt distinctly stabby.
She's lucky you didn't actually stab her... what a bitch!
My maternity jeans are way too tight now it hurts to wear them. I only put them on if I'm going out in public otherwise I'm living in my yoga pants.
My yoga pants are the last pants I have that fit and for a few weeks now they leave a big line on my belly where the seam presses into it...
It's too cold here to go out without *something* on my legs, even in a mumu I'm really not sure what I'll wear if they become too tight to wear.
Apparently, 35 weeks pregnant is a good time to replaster, sand, paint your whole main floor. We taped off the kitchen, upstairs, office but everything is still covered in dust. I have been confined to my bedroom, bathroom, office since Thursday. DH was gone Saturday/Sunday and I had to deal with a stir crazy pup.
I want my TV back and a clean house

My MIL offered that her and FIL could make the trip to the ozarks (5 hours from us) for my sisters wedding this summer, even though they aren't invited, to "help out" with the kids. While at first I was like ok whatever, the more I think about it the worse of an idea it sounds and now I have to figure out how to say no without starting a war. We will only be down there a couple days, we are getting a condo with my parents for this reason, there's a coordinator so a lot of wedding stuff will be taken care of before we arrive, the condos are not on site, the kids are in the wedding, LO will be BFing and now we'd have to kennel the dogs. Grrr now I just need to remember all those points we she brings it up again.
Edit to add another : and while we are on the maternity pant subject, mine are not too tight but the panel no longer covers the bump so they fall down constantly. My waddle is worse because if the panel wasn't there you'd see my ass crack constantly.
I can only fit into like 2-3 pairs of pants. And those are big billowy linen pants OR long black yoga pants. It's getting hot in Florida and I am dreading the next couple weeks. I just want to wear
comfortable shorts but all my weight apparently sits in my legs/thighs/ass....
I thought of another. Apparently 1st tri is back: lack of appetite, insomnia despite exhaustion, night time nausea, middle of the night puking and morning nausea. I have been on diclectin this whole pregnancy. 2nd and3rd tri, weaned down to the before bed dose. Now it's not helping and idk what to do

I woke up at 2:30 and never really got back to sleep. Irrationally I blame my hubby because I feel like when I wake up and he isn't there I get anxious and it's hard to calm down. I was going to come in to work and get a few things done then go home- because honestly I haven't left early or been sick this entire pregnancy, I deserve a damn pregnant day!- but no, meetings all day including one about my maternity leave.
Oh and I threatened my cat this morning because she wouldn't leave me alone. Hubby took her away and then I promptly felt like crying because if I am this bitchy with no sleep what will I do with a baby?
My bitch, my husband lovingly installed the seat protector and car seat base into our '01 Audi Quattro. I was so excited that I wanted to see the carrier in the base. Come to find out the carrier does not fit without the driver and passenger seats having to move so far forward that the individuals who ride in them will without a doubt crush their legs into the dashboard! I can't ride like that. Truly realizing how small the back seat is now, we are looking for a larger car. UGH!
Also I'm bitching that we are supposed to get 4-7" of snow tonight and be super cold. Normally I wouldn't care but why that much on my one day I have to get out for my MWs appt.? Which is of course scheduled for the mid morning right smack in the middle of the storm.
And my bellybutton hurts so bad and apparently no amount of telling H that it hurts so please stop touching it is getting through his thick skull.
This! My belly button hurts so bad. It hurts when Lo moves and touches it and it hurts when anyone else touches it. So my husband proceeded to pat my belly last night. I thought I was going to come unglued on him!
I'm so glad I'm not the only one suffering! Baby girl has her butt pressed up against the left side of what used to be my belly button and it constantly hurts. Right now my shirt touching it is about to make me lose my mind!
I slept terribly last night. I went to bed late as it was, and then stayed up reading for a bit because I got a new Nook Book that I had to at least start. I then proceeded to have weird/bad dreams and at one point woke up with my heart pounding out of my chest. I always wake up feeling uneasy that I squished LO in my sleep as it is, so with such a bad sleep I was especially worried.
When my alarm went off I hit snooze and overslept a little, but thankfully I get to work before anyone else. So I am tired and crabby....then I was rubbing my eye and dislodged my contact. They are super super thin, so I spent like 10 minutes trying to fish it out of my upper eyelid. It was folded up and really jammed up there. Thankfully I finally got it and put it back in and I can see again.

My mom is throwing our baby shower. She has done absolutely nothing yet to prepare and its on Sunday. She keeps asking me to help her plan, which I didn't mind at first, but at this point I've coordinated ordering, stuffing and addressing the invitations, figured out food (including asking certain family members if they would make some things), planned games that will work for both guys and ladies, planned all the activities (things that people can do to keep them from getting bored out of their minds), etc. I will also be in charge of decorating and food the day of as mom will be going to church till 1ish and the shower starts at 3. The most my mom has done is scroll thru Pinterest and take the invitations to the post office. I feel like I am throwing this shower for myself and I really don't want it to come across that way to our guests.

The snow today is delaying work yet again on our kitchen. We're now a full week behind. I'm tired, cranky, sick of construction workers in my house, sick of not having a sink or stove, and I just want to sleep until it is finished.
One of my best friends who has a killer body and got no stretch marks from when she was pregnant keeps posting pictures of girls in bikinis with bodies that look just like hers saying things like 'this is my motivation to get my sexy back'.
I love her but my new stretch marks and swollen everything kind of make me want to throat punch her.
Very little makes me as stabby as people who got no stretch marks with pregnancy who then turn into evangelists for whatever lotion they used. Here's how to not get stretch marks: 1) be genetically predisposed to not get stretch marks. 2) the end.
@newmomma8 Unless you have some other symptom along with the swelling (high bp or protein), I don't think swelling alone is cause for bedrest. Even if it goes up your legs... I think that's pretty normal.
I am so tired. Caroline is still getting her molars, and last night I lost count of how many times she woke up.
Like others, none of my maternity clothes still fit, and it makes me want to cry every morning when I get dressed. On a related note, I've gained 7 lbs in one week, and I'm not swollen at all on Monday mornings, so it's not water.
1. I can't sleep at night 2. It hurts when I roll from one side to another 3. I'm so freaking sick and tired of water. I hate you water! 4. I just want it to be Thursday so we can go to the city and get our toddler's big girl bed and dresser so I can finally wash and put away baby clothes! 5. It's supposed to be cold all week and I hate being cold 6. I just want it to be March so I can have my baby girl 7. I get stomach aches all the time.

Re: Starting early- Bitchfest Monday
I thought I would be proactive yesterday and make ahead some lunches for the week. I got two packages of chicken breast, marinated one and baked it, and stuck the other in the crock pot.
I shut the crock pot off last night and left it to cool for a while so I could put the chicken in the fridge. And then I promptly forgot about it til this morning. So there goes a ten dollar meal down the drain. Ugh, it smelled so good too...
My bitch is just that I've been awake for hours. I didn't realize I would someday wish for the frequent but quick wake-ups of earlier pregnancy.
This was more of a pity party than a bitch fest, sorry!
And I can't sleep!!! It's my day off!

I got a coffee at starbucks in our target and was just waiting for someone to say something. Thak God they did not!
I'm uncomfortable pretty much 100% of the time and my back is killing me. I don't remember being like this until at least 36-37 weeks last time. Ugh.
My yoga pants are the last pants I have that fit and for a few weeks now they leave a big line on my belly where the seam presses into it... It's too cold here to go out without *something* on my legs, even in a mumu
