I woke up in a lot of pain this morning and super dizzy so I decided to stay home. (Dizziness + 45 minute commute = bad news, probably.) Too bad that I actually NEEDED (yes, NEEDED) to be at work today, and am now handling everything from home. Funnn.
You called in sick with salsy sickness.
@salsy2012 that's what I'm calling any un diagnosed 'not right' feeling. I'm trying to make it an actual thing that is recognized as the most legitimate excuse for a pregnant woman to call in for.
Basically. That story scarred me for life.
This is what I had to do on Friday. No driving due to dizziness & being scared by Salsy's story.
I have my 25 week ultrasound tomorrow and my H can't go because he only gets 5 days of vacation FOR THE WHOLE YEAR, so he's saving those for when baby is born so he can be with us for a while at least. Oh, and those 5 days are including his sick days. So I am pissy because not only does he not get to go with me to the ultrasound, but he'll have to take an unpaid day later in the year because he tends to get sick a lot in the fall. Oh, and did I mention H works over 70 hours a week from April-August? Yet if he wants to take half a day off to go with his pregnant wife to an ultrasound, his salary gets docked. BS!
I'm almost positive that I'll be put on insulin today at my appointment.
Even with eating healthy and metformin, my blood sugar is still too high.
YAY.
I know this sucks...but its ok!!! You WILL get through this! In fact, you will kick GD's ass with yo' bad self! And remember - this is not YOUR fault. Some people do everything by the book and still need insulin. Damn hormones.
Seriously - be kind to yourself. You got this!
Thanks @majgarriss! I know some people have it about a million times worse. I'll do what I have to to keep this kid healthy (:
I had 5 days off of work and someone went into my desk and ate all my Tums! Now I'm stuck at work with heartburn and I want to murder whoever stole them but was nice enough to leave the empty bottle
@chase16 he's an electrician for an irrigation company. We live in Nebraska so the summer is the busiest time for pivots running. But yeah, 5 days. All year. Including having a baby. It's so infuriating, they need to re-work how the vacation adds up because this is a problem for everybody.
And we are in the process of job hunting for him...
@toratoratori he's an electrician for an irrigation company. Busy season is right now, of course, but their vacation system just doesn't work. H was out of town working for 3 nights last week and didn't get home until after midnight another night. It's beyond ridiculous and I've already told him those hours will STOP when baby gets closer...I need him close to him for when I go into labor!
I've kept all my bitchy moments to myself, but I can't keep it in any longer!!
I hate this whole sleep situation I've got going on, can not get comfortable and I have to pee like every two hours! I lay awake asking myself if I really need to role over, or wonder how long I can hold it because getting out of bed is a chore and rolling over is becoming impossible! Heartburn is new this week, which I also hate!
I decided to skip my other potential bitches, seeing as I just got a Facebook notification while reading this thread, and will post about that instead.
I don't post about pregnancy things on FB other than my original announcement. A few weeks ago I wrote how I informed my H that we were getting some Swiss Chalet for dinner, no arguments. My cousin's wife immediately responded with "How's the pregnancy going??? How's the baby!??? Are you feeling good?!?" For my wedding NONE of my dad's family came for one random BS reason or another. She's married to one. I blocked her on my newsfeed before then as she posted daily about her pregnancy (her 4th one at that, so you'd think she'd have toned down the "omg so much nausea" posts). So yea, I'm not a fan of her. She's 40 years old and posts like an 18 year old. Well I just got a fb message - which I haven't read yet - and the notification read "Hello Jennifer! How are you doing? How are you feeling? When are you-" and then it cuts off.
IDGAF about you guys or your selfish family. My dad's all but exiled himself from his family for the last two years. Don't pretend to GAF about us now that I'm pregnant. I know she did this with my sister last year, too.
Maybe I just sound like a cranky pregger bitch, but even my H says not to read the message and just pretend she never sent it.
Mine is more of a FWP, but I was so excited to get a pedicure today, so I stop by the salon after work and they put me right in the water bath for me feet. Then I wait 30 mins, my water bath gets cold, and I finally walked out. I hate when they do this, if it's going to be a half hour wait, tell me. There are 10 more salons I could have gone to on my way home. Instead I just drove home pissed and my feet still look like shit
I completely lost my shit yesterday. It got really ugly and I'm pretty much done with people. Wasn't a fight that needed to happen, it could have been completely avoided had it been approached differently. I don't want to bore you with a novel long post about it.
Soon to be mommy of 3! DS Grayson (3yrs) (Emergency Csec) DS Camden (1yr) (All natural Vbac) DD Isabella due 8/2/2014

I had a PT appointment this afternoon. It went awesome! I even got done a bit early and on my way home stopped at my favorite coffee stand (which I don't go to often, as it's out of the way) to get a yummy drink. I was so excited to order it, I didn't order it decaf (separate from being pregnant I have been on decaf for years)...WTF?!?!? I didn't have time to go back once I realized this, and DH works a few blocks from our house, so I drank a few sips then dropped it off for him. I work from home so I rarely get the opportunity to grab something like this to treat myself.
Typing this out makes it seem silly...Monday bitchfest indeed.

What is Swiss chalet? I want to be sad we don't have them too.
Compression sports bra for pre baby size A boobs: $20
Fancy Moving Comfort Fiona sports bra for bigger, heavier boobs: $50
Seriously though, the MC bras are the best. I actually have been able to continue to use my MC ones since the straps are adjustable. But, I feel you. I have two and have to make sure one is clean daily for my workouts. Bigger boobs are more work/money.
According to the lady this past weekend in Old Navy I just look chunky. I picked up a maternity dress and it was striped and my shirt happened to be also. I had to really pee, of course, well the girl that was over the dressing room had the key. As we were walking to the bathroom she looked at me and said something about how I apparently loved stripes. I told her I was just trying to find anything that is comfortable at this point. She looked at me and said "are you.." and then stopped. We stood there for an awkward few seconds and I finally told her that I was 25 weeks. She finally did a huge sigh of relief saying she was so glad that is what it was and nothing else.. Well, okay then.
This! Especially those who post all this lovey-dovey shit on their SO's Facebook. No one gives a shit about your marriage/relationship as much as you do!!!!! I will never understand why people feel the need to post every hour about wonderful their SO is. Tell them that to their face without putting it on their Facebook! Yeah...I know it's their Facebook, but mother of God it's annoying as hell!
I get the once in a while...like I did to my H yesterday, but if I want to tell him I love him or appreciate him, guess what, I tell him to his face, or a text or if it must be on Facebook,a msg!
Ugh...these and the ones who air out their dirty laundry on Facebook bug me the most!
Bitch/rant over. I feel a little better.
This actually makes me question their relationship- are you overcompensating for something? Did you get in a huge fight and feel guilty? You're jealous of other people's relationships and feel like you have to prove how happy you are? Yea.. I never look at these and think "how cute."
Ugh agreed! I had to block someone who would post "hi honey I love you" as his Facebook status update. Puke
@lindalkelso Swiss Chalet is a Canadian rotisserie chicken chain...kind of like Boston Market, but nicer (sit down and order) and waaaaaaaaay better food. They have this awesome dipping sauce and the chicken is soooooo good. When we go up to visit DH's family our first stop is always at a Harvery's/Swiss Chalet combo. Harvey's is a Canadian fast food burger place that DH is obsessed with and sometimes they are connected to Swiss Chalet so everyone is happy!

Yum. We have pollo regio here in Dallas. And the green salsa they give you with your rotisserie chicken is so yummy. If I'm ever in canada I will have to try it.
