B-fest Monday

htn1763 · February 2014

Our 40 pound dog sleeps in our room at night. We all go to bed (him on the floor) and everytime I wake up to go to the bathroom I find him in our bed! He must jump up as soon as we fall asleep. I don't really care as long as he stays at the end of the bed. Well, no. Everytime I come back from the bathroom he has moved himself into a spot that I have to contort myself to get into bed and pretty much straddle him to sleep. He is driving me crazy!!

It stormed all weekend and now I have a horrible cold. I already feel like crap, but now I can't breath and I'm coughing my guts out. I want to sleep and it's not working.

lazyreader · February 2014

My shower was last Sunday. I had a nasty cold on Tuesday. I attended the shower of my cousin yesterday (who was also at mine with her 8 year old). Cool. Fine. Dandy.

I overhear here talking about how she KNEW her daughter was sick the day before my shower. Bitch don't bring sickness around me. That was rude and I'm blaming you for the cough/sinus cold I am now recovering from.

Also- to all my family: stop tellin me "just you wait" or having the conversation die because I'm not a miserable prego like she is. I don't have drama so sorry I can't tell you about my nonexistent symptoms I'm apparently going to start having.

My cat woke me up at 4am. Lil bitch!

My husbands cat has been plotting my death since he met me 4 years ago. I've woken up multiple times at night to find him sitting above me on the headboard, glaring and watching me sleep. DH thought it was a funny joke for awhile, but he's slowly starting to realize the cat might actually want to kill me.

jbelle · February 2014

I called my Dr.'s office this morning with a concern. It's been two hours and they haven't called me back. It's quite clear the Doc doesn't think it's a concern, so just call and tell me that. I want to quit carrying my phone around the office.

lb1117 · February 2014

My DH's grandma passed away this morning. It's winter here (Ontario) and the funeral is 12 hours away. He would be gone Tuesday night/Wednesday morning to Saturday. I'd be 37+ a few days.

The timing sucks.

cmb2 · February 2014

I didn't have a specific bitch until reading this post!

I had HELLP w/ my last pregnancy and am hoping for a med-free hospital VBAC this go-round. I decided to google cholestasis, to see what pp's were talking about, and now I feel like I'm being paranoid and need to call my dr because I've been itchy and feel like my urine has been darker - especially since HELLP last time affects the liver (even though I'm having blood drawn weekly for any signs of reoccourance)

This might mean an induction or csection or whatever and sucks for my birth plan, even though of course I'll do whatever necessary for healthy mom/healthy baby. *off to call dr*

P.S. I wish all of you dealing with this the best, for you and your babies, and healthy deliveries!

jennybean80 · February 2014

I hate pumping. So much!!!
Plus it sounds like my pump says 'nipple nipple nipple' when using it, which just makes me a little stabby.

It's worth it for the benefits for LOs, but I still think I might beat I with a baseball bat 'Office Space' style when I'm done!

I honestly believe that given the choice, and ability to open their own food cans, all cats would kill their people. Those creatures are evil and all you fools letting them in your houses will be sorry in the coming catpocalypse.

jh&kh · February 2014

I miss the Arizona sunshine and warm weather. So tired of this depressing winter of snow/ice/sleet and constant clouds. I need some sun!

AriaAmante143 · February 2014

I can't handle any more 31-32 weeks along women bitching about discomfort and wondering when their babies will come. I felt like a freaking ROCKSTAR at 31 weeks compared to what I feel like now (36 weeks 6 days). STOP. COMPLAINING.

recline84 · February 2014

I'm bitching about rude assholes that call our office. I mean, pregnancy aside, talking down to someone (who has no control over your insurance rates, and definitely didn't cause you to call the wrong phone number) just makes you look like an ass. And made me tear up a tiny bit. 3 more weeks....3 more weeks.....I can do it!

PerkyErky · February 2014

I am irritated by the snow storm hitting the Pacific Northwest. We are not equipped to deal with snow like this. Give us rain any day and we are good to go, even torrential downpours. But even a little snow shuts everything down, we got 10 inches! Unheard of here. But more importantly it has delayed the delivery of several online purchases for the baby AND my yoga pants I want to be wearing now!

amandapthompson · February 2014

I wish my boss would quit shutting the f'ing door to the office bathroom. The heat can't get back there and when it's been 10 degrees all weekend it physically hurts to sit down and pee. I know it doesn't bother you sir since you are a dude but it takes my breath away. Squatting at this point is a no go!
Also, the air freshener that sprays out every 30 or whatever minutes gets trapped and the floor gets soaking wet. Dangerous for a pregnant lady who can't see that the floor is wet. Hello slip and fall.

Eta- it's only 11 and I've been hungry for over an hour. Come on 12 so I can go get some good before I get sick!

this makes me laugh. (i'm in the area). because ya know... we're all super outdoorsy and all. those PEMCO profiles are the truth. #firstsnoflakefreakoutlady #NWmaleactionfigure

I packed up a defective pillow case from Pottery Barn Kids to take back today, and while I was walking to my car, I spilled my coke on it. So now I'm out $30 and don't get to buy the cute stuffed elephant I wanted instead.

To be fair, I complained quite a bit at 31/32 - but the heartburn was EXCESSIVE and my doc wouldn't let me start Prilosec yet. Now that I'm on it and actually sleeping and eating and drinking water again, am I still uncomfortable? Sure. But not to the point where I am begging for help. Everyone's pregnancy is different - but I get what you're saying.

I'd rinse & dry it and bring it back anyway - the defect is still there and their CS is pretty decent so I'd expect they'll take it back - especially for store credit if the elephant is from there.

Wash it and pack it back up!! So dishonest I know, but I justify things like this by saying they rip me off each time I shop there...it's paybacks!

LaurenAsh23 · February 2014

jbelle same here! I called mine at 8:30am with my blood pressure readings from the weekend (all being high) and it's 12:45 and I still haven't heard back...

That is a legitimate complaint IMO. Heartburn freaking sucks. I just can't handle the "I'm so uncomfortable, will she be born soon?" BS.

WoodShopGirl · February 2014

My bitch: I got sent home this morning rather than to work after seeing my MFM. I have to much to do at work to be trying to work remote! I have 6 weeks left to get my office crew in shape and all lined up so I can actually have a week or so email/phone call free. And I couldn't even feel the contractions they saw on the monitors.

I know, I know, I need to get some sleep because I haven't had more than 10 hours combined over the last 3 nights since I have become an insomniac. But sending me home is only going to cause me to work from my couch rather than my desk.

OK, taking a step back to realize I need to put my health and baby's health before work. It is just so damn difficult. Sigh.

Andreabills · February 2014

1. People need to stop posting random pics of donuts! I'm on bed rest and can't drive and I can't do anything about it when I see a donut and crave it.
2. I'm bored and I have nothing but respect for you ladies that have been on BR for months already. It's been 5 days and I am cranky already!

I'm done for now but I reserve the right to bitch as the day goes on.

One of the cities snow plows (I think we might have 5) overturned yesterday while plowing. Snow plow overturned...this is how equipped we are for this white stuff! I just want my rain

ETA: the PEMCO profiles crack me up

saisongbird · February 2014

@AriaAmante143 - Fair enough!

katykatykaty · February 2014

@ceh789 and @clo1982 I'm going to try that tonight. I've bought so much from them over the years that I have no guilt for doing it. Thanks.

coreyeliz · February 2014

I honestly have no idea why this is my first time posting on this thread because I seriously have about a dozen things to bitch about. But I'm going to go with my MIL who I honestly can't stand right now. I don't want this post to be crazy long, so I'll just say - stop trying to climb up my friggin ass, lady! Both my MIL and SIL are pushy, dishonest, manipulators when they want to get their way, and before I came along they never got any push back from my husband. Thank God he sees things for what they are and we're on the same page about almost everything, but I feel like I'm just constantly on the look out for the next thing she's going to try to pull. Most recently, she was trying to get her way about something pretty rude surrounding my baby shower, and when DH was standing up to her she said "I threw a lot of money at this shower, so I should get my say in this." Naturally, DH felt really guilty about that (I was just pissed that she would be so manipulative.) But I got even more pissed when I followed up with my best friend who actually threw the shower and found out that my MIL didn't throw ANY money at the shower. My best friend and my mom paid for/did everything. My MIL showed up with a bottle of champagne. And before I sound like a spoiled brat, I wouldn't care one bit that she didn't spend any money. She's not obligated to. I just care that she lied about it like that to manipulate because she knew it would work. Ugh. It's to the point where anything she does makes me crazy. I just need some space, but she's like a barnacle these days.

Seriously, if I had one wish today it would be that none of you ladies from TB were working, and we were all magically in our pj's with about 100 trays of brownies in a room full of recliners so we could bitch for hours and get it all out.

I just cannot take my annoying co-workers anymore, my patience is paper thin and I'm ready to explode. I think there should be two phases of maternity leave....the portion once LO is here to recover and bond, and the month or so before hand so you don't go on a homicidal rampage because of annoying people.

I've got great coworkers, but I pre-apologized to them today for my future behavior. I've been in a mood all weekend and I don't think it's going anywhere until this kid learns to sleep through the night and I can get some damn rest. I could use the four weeks of "rage leave" about now too!

katykatykaty · February 2014

I spend lots of time in our work bathroom, and this morning alone I have seen two women leave without washing their hands and then go straight into the office kitchen. Not that it matters, but they are both very prestigious partners at our law firm. They should know better. So many germs!

Missfunball · February 2014

another one: all beef jerky should be packaged with floss.

(lest you try to remove it with your fingernail because you are at work with no floss and then that breaks creating a much bigger problem, especially when one is pregnant and touch of the gums makes them explode in a bloody mess, yeah that happened. I used my lunch break to go home to floss >.<)

nlane0723 · February 2014

Someone parked in my spot this morning. I wanted to slash the tires.

One of the girls I know who just had her little one had this happen. She let informed her neighbor when the neighbor denied it she may or may not have taken a baseball bat to it (we were talking about crazy preggo moments)

karacakes98 · February 2014

It's cold. I'm cranky. And we're supposed to go to dinner at my mom's tonight and I don't wanna do my hair and makeup and change out of my hoodie. Woe is me.

novelblessings · February 2014

I just found out our director who was our interim supervisor (because our supervisor quit last month and they decided not to replace him), just quit. Her last day is Friday and get this...they are not replacing her. WTF is going on at my agency?!

Also I just threw a tissues at the trash can and it landed next to it on the floor....I can't reach it!!!

bingbongsmama · February 2014

This diabetic hasn't eaten proper protein in 3 days. I snack on the almonds in my room and had hot dogs for dinner 3-4 days ago and a couple slices of cheese the other day but no chicken or actual meals. I've got to fend for myself and I'm too tired to cook. My legs hurt, I'm so tired and get dizzy a lot and sometimes am actually scared to attempt going down the stairs. Clearly DH cannot handle taking care of me and DD, it's one or the other and she needs him more. I'm going to go back to crying now.

coreyeliz · February 2014

Ok. One more. Someone tandem parked me in in the parking garage on Saturday. When I finally got out because the car next to them left and I did about a 9 point turn to get my car out of that spot, I left a giant note under their windshield that said, "YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK, YOU SUCK! You just parked in a woman who is 8 months pregnant." I don't feel like I'm fit for public consumption right now.

EML2011 · February 2014

@mndynitetragdy this reminds me of us this past fall when we were house hunting (minus the flood zone). We put offers on two houses where they took the house off the market and the 3rd house just flat out said no. No counters or anything. House hunting sucks. Hope you find something soon!!

kmeyers0611 · February 2014

Work sucks! So bad I don't know if I can make it to ML I am that close to quitting! I may have ugly cried again today... Thank God I am working from home until Wednesday.

saisongbird · February 2014

I have one more. I just spent 30 fucking minutes trying to tune a cello. I get three strings in tune. Go for the fourth? All the others pop out. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. My fingers are raw. Who the fuck leaves their cello to be tuned before you can't play a single note before bringing it in? Oh, and holding a cello on your lap with a baby belly? Not so easy.

AriaAmante143 · February 2014

Does anyone remember my girl from Open Letters that basically live Facebooked her daughters birth this weekend? She's posted 11,327 pictures today, and they've gone a little something like this:

*"Waiting to be told we can go home!"

*"In our car seat, ready to go home!"

*"In the car, on our way home!"

*"We're home!"

*First time sitting on the couch at home!"

*"First diaper change at home!"

Am I just overly bitchy today, or is that really, really annoying and excessive to share with all 500 of your FB friends? Do we really need to see your new baby on the changing table with a dirty diaper? I get she's excited, but come on, man.
