mrsdanielleM2010 · April 2014

I got a bad cold, my MIL is in the hospital and needs gallbladder removed (did she call her only son and DIL NOOOO, we were in a panic), my brother had a breakdown and is in the hospital, and my Dad yelled at me for answers on why my brother had a breakdown and what he's supposed to do about it. I could use a beer! LOL

On a brighter note on Thursday we got to see the baby and hear the hb and all looks good. Even got a "prediction" on what the tech thinks we are having but waiting for the 20 week which is schedule for May 9th. So excited and trying to stay positive!

@smileygirl18 what's that like?

LOL. Sometimes it is a lot of fun. But this particular Sat, DH was being a douche so I had TB drama and DH junk to deal with. DH and I rarely fight, so it was a pretty big blow up. I don't think he appreciated the "hang on a sec, I have Bump drama I HAVE to deal with right NOW!"

oh yikes

sorry you had a crap weekend.

RedBaramid · April 2014

<Insert Rage> I work with a 21 y/o female who is wheel chair bound only because she refuses to do the physical therapy and change her diet to lower her weight. In 3 months she has continued to put on an extra 50 pounds. (She is already approaching morbidly obese) Although she does suffer from a few developmental disabilities, her legs can function and would function at a much higher level if she would put forward the effort.. but effort is hard when you have staff who get paid to do everything for you. Whatever, it's her life and if she wants to eat herself to death and ruin all of her chances to move out of a group home setting, that's sad but her problem...

Except she has now got a problem with me, and more specifically, me being pregnant. She is refusing to let me assist her with things because she KNOWS she is obese and has decided if I help her she will kill my baby. My Doctors are aware of what I do for a living, they are fine with me working. I practice safe lifting techniques, and I use adaptive equipment. I am careful about my posture. I am doing EVERYTHING right. However she is now refusing my services. We are now in a fun place where they can't technically let me work because she is refusing my services, but they also can not fire me/ask me to change positions because it would be considered discrimination due to my pregnancy. I am able to preform my job tasks, she is simply refusing to let me do them.

Basically.. ALL THE DRAMA.. I am thinking I am going to be spending my next day off looking for a lawyer in case I have to fight for my job soon. Mind you I work with 7 other adults, several with less abilities than her, needing more physical assistance, and all of them are FINE with me helping them. I haven't even so much as slightly pulled a muscle at my job so far this pregnancy. </end rage>

I love being your Mod. But next time, can we have a drama blow up on say a Tuesday? It is hard to do Mod stuff from my phone and Sat nights, I almost have a life

My bitch is that I apparently don't have a life because the Sat night dramapalusa was the most fun I had all weekend.

@SmileyGirl18‌ Sorry mod duties cropped up at such a crappy time for you.

JustCricket · April 2014

@redbaramid I'm so sorry you're dealing with this person. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with her possibly being jealous??? Or some other mental block she now has against you. Either way that is bull. And I hope everything else goes well at work for you.

I mentioned it on the ticker change, so sorry for the duplicate, but I am currently experiencing fish oil burps. they are the WORST! *Burp*Gag*Burp*

I bought vegan omega pills just for this reason. No more fish burps!

I take Nordic Naturals strawberry "flavored" DHA capsules. Instead of fish oil I have strawberry burps.

MrsLaLaBug · April 2014

Here's my bitch for today. I can't stand it when someone asks a pregnant a question, gets a happy response, and immediately turns into a negative nancy. Case in point - Someone excitedly asks you some generic pregnancy question. Feeling a happy mommy glow, you give a smiling gushing response, such as "it's a boy/girl!" or "I feel wonderful and blessed" or "I'm due in September". Their expression suddenly changes and they get eyes as big as hoot owls, tell you "oh honey just wait until ...", snicker and snort, or proceed to bless your heart because you have to suffer another 5+ months AND be pregnant in the summer.

These people should be stabbed in the face with rusty forks.

JustCricket · April 2014

I'm trying soo hard to remember who is who with some of the newer posters... but I am having the HARDEST TIME when the person doesn't have a siggy or even a unique avatar. I'm not saying post a picture of yourself... just something recognizable and different so I can remember "oh that's the chick with the dinasaur in her siggy or the batsignal in her avatar"

gingerkid9989 · April 2014

The bump is being a douche canoe and not working on my work PC. I can't mobile bump all day dang it!! Get your shit together bump and work!!!!

mrsdanielleM2010 · April 2014

bmwaters2121 said:

Also, can someone explain to me the post-it???

Anywhos - my BF is that the bump was down all morning and I actually had to work!! Let the shenanigans commence!

I keep three actual post its on my desk at home. One is a list of people going through serious shut and it's a reminder to pray for them. One is for people who have proven themselves batshitcrazy, and next to their name I put a key word. Next to monologues I put "2 Tri circumcision" as a reminder where she went nuts. I keep a third list of people I'm unsure about - can be for any reason.

Honestly, this is why i rarely post... I'm exclusively mobile - can i even create either of those from my phone? I admit i haven't really tried...

rebennett06 · April 2014

My BF is that morning sickness decided to come back out of nowhere today- and while I'm puking in the toilet my husband leans in the bathroom and says "how are you feeling- you look sick" uhhh...yep. you are absolutely correct. Now I'm at work and apparently our system was down overnight bc we are swamped. therefore I decided to bump today. I quit real life.

you know, I'm not sure. I avoid mobile bumping b/c it's such a pain. I don't know how you deal with it! lol. but I can understand that. But if people post more, I'll eventually remember, it'll just take longer than if you have something memorable. But now I will forever rememeber the name NicoCo b/c you responded to me! yay!

I kiiiiind if feel like you had me in mind with the example

(if not, can we pretend?)

BethanyAnn27 · April 2014

Why is there so much baby stuff to buy?? I know you don't need even half of it, but holy cow, why are there so many things?!? I have been spending my days researching things like "are sheet savers necessary" and "wet or dry pails for cloth diapering". I feel like I am back in school spending days and days on research. Bleh. That being said, I have learned a lot. And that Keep-Toss-Add thread has been a life-saver!

BethanyAnn27 · April 2014

Also @flyawaycricket thanks for mentioning avatars. I had my own pic up, but have been meaning to change it for weeks now. On the b-fest side of this, that is the only productive thing I have accomplished today. Guess it is time to get moving...

mapchick77 · April 2014

DH opened a bottle of wine I was saving for a special occasion on Friday night to have some with his dinner. He's usually pretty good about asking since we have a few that are for that purpose but this time he didn't. It was a bottle I bought while wine tasting for my bachelorette party nearly 5 years ago. He apologized but I was so disappointed (but did have couple sips). Then he had the nerve to call me out for being grumpy the rest of the night. Oh and he decided to finish off the bottle last night during the Game of Thrones premier. Grrr...

@trombgirl and @mapchick77- thanks for the tips! I'll look into both. Strawberry burps sound oddly declicious :-)

@flyawaycricket - vaild point. I've got a new avatar. Please allow me to introduce you to my mutt Harvey!

edit - just kidding, so apparently, my avatar doesn't want to change when commenting yet. i'll work on it.

I see your beautiful mutt dog!!!!!!!!!

Sorry you are having a rough day. I hope you feel better! My DH is the kind to ask the "obvious question", it drives me nuts.

edited again for crappy grammar (what is wrong with me today?)

ChesTal · April 2014

Yay, bitchfest is my favorite day

Seriously though, my BF is that the sky is basically falling down here today (torrential rain, wind, hail, you know- spring time in the south) and I forgot to bring my lunch. So, I have to leave the office in this mess because we are hungry over here at 11 am.

I have tried since January to get a damn siggy to work, but apparently I fail at life (and gifs). My beachy avatar will have to do.

SingleMom31 · April 2014

All morning, my GI system has been doing something funny. A few times, it's almost felt like baby moving (which I'd much prefer it to be), but I know that at 15 weeks, it's probably not. Which then makes me wonder why my tummy is being funny and want it to just stop.

you mean we shouldn't all add this to our siggy???

JustCricket · April 2014

Hubby was so kind as to use the last of the bread... and not tell me. So now he's at work with the car and I have no bread for the sandwich I'm craving....

kmbk27 · April 2014

I feel like hammered dog shit. Also, reveal party threads are quickly going the way of "Guess my baby's sex from this upside down picture of my positive HPT" threads for me.

mrsdanielleM2010 · April 2014

On behalf of the regular chatters I'd like to bitch about @MermaidsMagic‌'s damn classes at night. I'm glad you're in school girl but I miss you Monday nights.

jortiz780 · April 2014

My B-Fest for today (and really every day) is that why am I so irritated about people asking me if I know the sex of the baby yet? It's like everyone out there wants to know first. They don't even care that the ultrasound is more to tell you if the baby is healthy and still alive, people just want to know the sex! I mean, what does it matter to you whether I am having a boy or a girl? Not a damn bit! I don't have my anatomy scan until next Monday, but even then I am thinking about withholding this information.

Am I being a 'B' myself? Sometimes I feel like I am overreacting, but most of the time it just irritates the crap out of me!

I don't think you're being a B. I am tired of everyone asking me too. I find out on the 24th and I'm sure I'll be annoyed with a new favorite question from everyone.

Last pregnancy I was team green and the sex question got SUPER old and the responses to me not knowing irritated the crap out of me too....the three most common responses in order of commonality were a knowing opinion that I was having a boy based on how I was carrying (pisses me off that all those randos were right), complete shock and awe that I would choose to wait in this day and age, and a pat on the back (sort to speak) for being such an 'awesome mom' for waiting for the surprise and clearly being willing to 'love whatever comes out'.

....based on that last comment made by a strange old man at the dmv I won't love this baby as unconditionally because I'm finding out the sex at my a/s. *eyeroll*

I'm 16w4d today and DEFINITELY showing but I'd been holding out in telling work because of a bunch of shuffling going in yada yada. Anyway...I had it ALL planned to tell my boss today only to find that she AND her boss are at a conference until late Thursday!!!! Are you KIDDING me?? Argh. I have one pair on maternity jeans that I can wear with sneakers and not look like a dork...and only two hoodies with pockets that conceal my growing belly. Um...it's 90 today and supposed to be 92 tomorrow and all I want to F'ING do is put on a cute, fitted pregnancy friendly T shirt! Waaaah. Four more days....four more days.

You can do it girl!

I feel your pain...DH finished the milk this morning, and all I want is a bowl of rice crispies for lunch.

My other b-fest for the day, I cannot find our mail key. I have looked through everything...I mean EVERYTHING in our apartment. DH is claiming he doesn't have it...but I don't believe him because all bags I have used in the past 3 months have been emptied, furniture has been moved, and there is no mail key here.

portentosa · April 2014

Speaking of showing....

I'm 18 weeks into my second pregnancy and definitely NOT showing in my lose ass work shirt. It's irritating turning customers down to lift big bags of cat litter because I'm pregnant and having them look at me like I'm lying.

IMO I show a bit in my own cloths, but I'm self conscious that because my DS is so young people think I just haven't lost the baby weight yet...which they'd be right to think, but I'm also pregnant dammit!

I showed really late with the first one and was looking forward to showing sooner this time. Boo.

mrsdanielleM2010 · April 2014

@katesays feel better & kick ass. Grrrr.

It's like people think they know everything ever about pregnancy. Not all pregnancies are the same people! In my first trimester (and this plays on some of the things @MrsLaLaBug was saying earlier), people would ask me how I feeling and I would say, I am feeling great, which I did and still for the most part do. And most women would reply, "oh you just wait, you are going to be so sick." Well now, those women are eating their words, because I never got sick. It's like they want to hear the bad stuff so bad that if you tell them you are great, they have to follow with something negative. Such wonderful people they are.

Ok, that was probably a second BF for me this wonderful Monday. I am in a mood today.

Let me go ahead and throw in a third BF while I am at it... I am tired of being called hormonal when someone asks me a dumbass question(which happens alot at work) and I kind of snap at them. I just want to say, "I'm not hormonal! You are just an idiot!"

Daisy1232 · April 2014

Late addition to the BF: I feel like whenever I'm driving and I look around, everyone is texting! It's so dangerous and it makes me really mad. They're showing that their text is more important than their life, my life, and everyone else around us!!
