Ok I have to let this out because I'm thoroughly annoyed. Dh's cousin is absolutely pissed sad mad heartbroken that she's having another boy. She's even started talking about next time being a girl in a way to which she discredits this pregnancy. So I tried not being judgey because she's family ect. She insists I don't know what it feels like because I've always gotten what I wanted. Ummm yea because all I've wanted was a healthy baby it just turned out I got 2 of each. I just can't even deal with it anymore.
My new bitch, and I know I may sound like a brat/bitch/ungrateful/etc - I am over people asking me how I feel. I know they are being nice but I'm at the point where I feel like wearing a sign that says "I feel fine. Stop asking." I'm ok if it's someone I haven't seen in a while but it's the same people on a daily basis who see me and ask "How are you feeling?!" I want to scream "I'M F-IN FINE!" Literally one of the girls who sits near me at work asks me this every.single.morning.
If my MIL asks one more time what I am going to do about work when the baby comes I will freak the F out.
Backstory: she thinks I should stay home, I am currently a substitute teacher and freelance designer but I am applying for full-time teaching positions for the fall. I want to work but if I have to sub for another year with a baby I will be happy with that too (forced time with the baby- ok! but I still have my own career goals). Basically I just want her to get off my nutz.
Also- I made coffee this morning and I used some old cheap beans that we had because I ran out of good stuff and it tastes gross. SO. SAD.
Adding: I think it is awesome that people stay home with their kiddos if they can. I think I would go crazy and it is not for me. To each her own!
If the accounts receivable guy does not stop questioning how I do my job I am going t flip the fuck out. Yes, that's the right packing slip, I had to make one up because we don't normally send one. Don't ask the customer if its acceptable, just send it and we can deal with it later if they refuse it. You have been here for six months, you don't know your own job, let alone mine. Get off my back, dickwad. This is the same guy who said last week that if a woman got a boob job she was asking for male attention and couldn't complain, because she has to understand what it does to men. Fuck you.
I know this could go in the symptoms thread but the level of misery I have deserves a SS bitch. My upper back and ribs on the left side of my body are killing me. The position that aggravates it- sitting upright. The position the alleviates it- lying down on my right side. So basically I'm almost in tears at work because I can't lay down and the longer I sit, the worse it gets.
I'm tired of DHs grandmother commenting on my stretch marks whenever she happens to catch a glimpse of my bump. Yes, I have an ungodly amount of them. Yes, I use different lotions and such every day to try to prevent them. Stop pointing it out. I'm pregnant with twins, I surrendered myself to the fact that I'm gonna have a lot of tiger stripes at the end of this a long time ago. Stop making me feel self concious about them. Also, I am really getting sick of DH having a low libido. I know he can't control it, but this dry spell is KILLING ME. My libido is sky high and he wants nothing to do with me. I already feel like a whale and his rejection isn't exactly helping that.

That would really irritate me too! I feel the same way when I see my future ILs or they call, they ask how I'm feeling or if I'm feeling better. First, "better" from what... I'm not really sure what you are thinking of/what you've been told. And yes, I'm fine in general, but are you wanting the details of pregnancy symptoms? Because I don't really feel like sharing them with you... So I'll just stick with my general response.
@KrystaJ DH in the past would occassionally pull the edge of my shirt up and kiss my bare belly(which i have since said to keep for at home since it made me uncomfortable for people to see my stomach) so she caught a glimpse of the marks a couple times and since then just won't stop mentioning it.
I haven't been too overly emotional lately but that is changing. I already feel like I look enormous and am totally self conscious of how I look. A coworker just commented that I will be huge by my due date after he asked how much longer I have. Thankfully I didn't get emotional about it until a few minutes later but seriously, why do people think it's okay to ever comment on the size of a pregnant woman??
My sister informed me that she "couldn't bear to have another boy" and when they try for #2 she wants to "spin the sperm" to get a girl. I love completely rationale perspectives on conception and reproduction. Grrrrrr.
DH's sister just announced she is getting married 3 wks before I have the baby. I'm not super thrilled for a few reasons. One: they've only been dating a few months. Two: she told her other sister that she's getting married now because her alimony money is almost done and she wants to have sex with this new guy but will only do that if they're married. Three: the ceremony is a 2.5 hours drive and my hips already hurt after I've been sitting or standing for a long time. When I'm 3 wks from giving birth I'm terrified to see if the pain will be worse, especially knowing I have to sit through the drive to and from plus through the ceremony and reception. Four: she wants me to come 2 hours early to do her hair and makeup.
My big bitch is her response to my answer though. I said no to hair and makeup. She totally ripped me apart for being selfish and now she's not talking to me.
DH and I had discussed that we were not going to pay any part of his mother's old "parking" tickets totaling $1500. She's always trying to get his help. He agreed but now he's rethinking it and telling me to stop being greedy. Umm, greed has nothing to do with it... how about the fact that it is her problem and his dad (her ex husband) is paying it- they have a really weird relationship... they live together after a really nasty divorce years ago. He says that we are investing in our future of his mother living with us and taking care of the boys. HELL NO. We discussed that as well. MIL will never live with us, that used to be the plan, all she does is try to split us up and talk shit behind my back. Honestly, she is crazy and super toxic for our relationship. We just moved 9 hours away from them and she wouldn't even say goodbye to me and told the family how much she will miss her son and they were like... "Oh yeah, all of them." And she continued saying, "Well, I will miss the boys too." Her and FIL were also saying (to the family) that they don't plan to visit us after we have the baby. That's petty.
I am SO F'N TIRED of, when I mention that I'm not sleeping well, everyone always seems to want to remind me that I'll never really sleep well again, or that my body is just getting me used to having a newborn. STOP TELLING ME THIS!!! I realize I'll have lots of sleepless nights, I don't need a freaking reminder on a daily basis. Also, I won't be working in the first few months, so I won't have to try and function at work on minimal sleep with unsympathetic co-workers who keep piling on the damn projects and expecting me to function like nothing is different!
I'm also still super peeved that I can't change my schedule when I come back to work for something that will work better for me and my family. No, they won't take me off the 9-6 schedule, so I don't get home till almost 7, and that's barely any time to spend with my baby who will probably be going to sleep early! I couldn't help myself and cried when they told me this at my meeting. I want an earlier schedule, but my lack of seniority basically means they can keep screwing me over at every turn. Which my boss recognizes is happening. OK so you know I'm getting screwed constantly and am STILL here, and no one will help me out or do anything about it??
Sorry for the stream of consciousness....once I get started I just rant away.
my bitch is WTH is up with maternity pants being so big in the behind??? I have to pull all of my pants up all the time. Apparently they were hoping I'd grow into them? I don't know...all I know is I'm sick of them always falling down and always having to pull them back up.
Same! Not so bad when they're just out of the dryer but after you wear them once they stretch out so much and just look sloppy.
@emilyh107 sucks that dd is sick. DS is sick and it's been nearly a week. Of course I don't think it helped that we didn't know to avoid dairy and he kept throwing up after having milk/yogurt. Hope she feels better soon!
@sparklenshine_89 - I would agree with your DH IF it was because MILs plumbing blew out and couldn't afford it, or she got hit by someone who had no insurance or something. You know, something beyond her control. However, unpaid parking tickets? No. If you're going to drive, follow the rules of the road. If my kid gets a ticket, THEY will pay it, not me. I certainly wouldn't make an exception for my parents, who are grown adults.
See, that's honestly how I feel. He just paid for her to get a ton of dental work done because he didn't want her to be self conscious of not having teeth and I completely agreed with that. However, she is always complaining to him when something around the house needs to get fixed or she needs money for something (like a new pet). But these tickets are from when he was still a kid and completely not his fault. He just has a big heart and wants to take care of his family... and they take advantage of it.
MIL and grandmother in law were arguing right in front of me on whether or not my nieces (their grandchildren) would be visiting the baby in the hospital. I didn't say anything, but thought it was funny that they both think they get a say. Nope. Me and DH decide, no one else, and if the nieces aren't vaccinated by then, they won't be seeing my baby any time soon.
MIL keeps giving us things "for the baby." Wrapped. Like DHs hospital bracelet, silver baby cups with DHs birth info on it, original 8x10 baby photos of DH in frames (which obvs need to be on display in LOs room!)
Stop using us as a storage service MIL! And she knows I am too sentimental to throw these things away too...
So I had to have an emergency D&C last night!!!! I started hemorrhaging and passing clots so bad DH had to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital! My doctor thinks I may have had a fragment of my placenta left in there causing the issue! I was so scared especially when my doctor said worst case scenario if the bleeding wouldn't stop they'd have to do a hysterectomy!!! Thank god that didn't happen though and they were able to clean everything out without any problems!!! I don't get to see Henry today!!! But the bright side of it is I'm waiting for transport to take me to our car so we can go home AND Henry weighed in at 3 lbs 0.5 oz today!!!!!
Edit: cuz I forgot to add I lost so much blood I had to have a blood transfusion!!

My supervisor (who I love and adore) just announced she is leaving the company. I have no filter with this pregnancy and I blurted - WTF. Once it started sinking in she was leaving - I got teary eyed. There are 2 of us qualified to do her job but when she was talking about "transitioning" she didn't look at me at all. She only looked at the other person who is qualified. It pissed me off. So now I'm mad/sad/glad (for her) all at the same time and feel like I've been on an emotional rollercoaster. I wish we could afford for me to be a SAHM. I really don't want to end up working for this other lady. But, as they say, "It is what the F it is".

Same with me sometimes I think about not wearing them for that simple fact its so annoying.
@KrystaJ DH would totally toss it all, but I can't. There would be literally no photos of DHs childhood if I did. One of my projects for my maternity leave is to make some lovely scrapbooks from what she has given us.
I'm decided that if I do a good job I'll have an easier time throwing away the rest. (Like if there is a picture in the scrapbook of him cuddling his favourite stuffed animal, I can throw away the actual toy, right?) OMG... I'm such a suck.
We live with my parents (long story). My mother has some boundary issues. She and DH are arguing all the time. She keeps trying to get me to pick a side (aka side with her). I appreciate them letting us stay here but I dream of the day we can move out and not get a phone call every time we leave to see where we're going.

I totally went through this a few yrs ago. We moved in with my parents when we moved back into the state to save money for a house! It was me and my mom bickering a lot about dumb stuff. It wasn't always bad but me and my mom know how to push each other's buttons!!
And thank you everyone for the well wishes! I'm currently on my way home!!

Kudos to you for even agreeing to go to the wedding! I probably wouldn't go at all, but I'm kind of a bitch like that. Travelling that far from your doctor that close to your due date would freak me out and the stress of possibly going into labor so far away would be enough for me to say "I'm very sorry to miss it" and send DH solo.
I'm having a hard time mentally these days. My work pants are barely fitting anymore and I still have 5 more weeks left at work. My vagina is swollen and the work pants situation makes it feel even worse. Pad or not, my underwear is always wet and it's so uncomfortable and just plain stinks-literally. I feel okay when I look in the mirror, but then someone posted pictures from this weekend on facebook and I look like an entirely different person than what I see in the mirror and NOT in a good way at all. I'm just OVER this whole pregnancy thing. Thanks for letting me bitch!
Re: *~ Monday Bitchfest~*
Married DH 7/30/11
CSC arrived 5/7/12
CHC arrived 6/2/14
Also, I am really getting sick of DH having a low libido. I know he can't control it, but this dry spell is KILLING ME. My libido is sky high and he wants nothing to do with me. I already feel like a whale and his rejection isn't exactly helping that.

So with that sending hugs your way for knowing you are most definitely not being selfish.
DS is sick and it's been nearly a week.
Of course I don't think it helped that we didn't know to avoid dairy and he kept throwing up after having milk/yogurt.
Hope she feels better soon!

I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.

Praying you recover fully and quickly and that Henry continues to grow
