MBF

I had to check my calendar to make sure it was Monday. What? Are all you super pregnant people suddenly pooping rainbows? Let's get bitchy!

  • Oh yeah, Monday. I think we are all so caught up with new arrival threads we forgot??

    MB: Boss, you know I'm in training ALL week to study for my TX life insurance exam. Why ask me to help a customer in the middle of a chapter about Variable Life Ins policies. It's supposed to be like I don't exist.

    Dear coworker- see above and stop coming into my office every 15 minutes to borrow a chair because you have an extra customer. Keep the f*ing chair until the end of the day or get one from an unoccupied office.

    If "NO" hasn't worked the first 20 times, try something different. They are clearly not even listening to you at this point. 

    Also don't be all "you guys are so mean" when you yell a hell of a lot more, at a level that Texas could hear and with more expletives then the entire US Navy. 

    I'm sorry your life of dependency has been just so difficult. The rest of us don't have a fallback and are seriously sick of your shit. 

    Also yes, that was a total cunt move you made last night about dinner, you don't have to be a bitch just because i was right. 

    **These are all things i am on the verge of yelling at my mother, who is seriously on my last god damn nerve.

  • I will bitch at myself:  Spending the weekend with my 72 year old father and my 38 week pregnant self thinking that we can tear out a basement window casing and replace a window is just as stupid as is sounds.  Now I am exhausted and sore...but we did finish the project.

  • I am really bummed about how Finn's newborn photos went yesterday. He was so fussy and awake for the entire 3 hours the photographer was here (and another 7 after that!). She got MAYBE one picture. I know it's not a huge deal, but I was so excited to get some great pictures of my handsome little man :(
  • Ok Dr's office you have 7 fucking Dr's and not one appointment available ALL WEEK ANYTIME OF THE WEEK  that I can switch my appointment to....wtf

    Car shopping is a mother fucker. In. Every. Single. Way.

  • I don't have a succinct way to describe the interaction that had my 38 week pregnant self yelling at like 30 people to get back into our meeting room so that they could hear the directions the other 4 who stayed like they were supposed to were hearing.  (I guess that sorta did it.)  

    Also, it's way too hot at work now.  So glad I only have 3 days left.  76 is NOT an ideal temperature for pregnant ladies who are having to run around all day!

  • Baby Girl's crib still hasn't been assembled.

    IKEA was out of stock on the patio table we wanted yesterday. It will *probably* be in on Thursday which means I'll have to go back on my own with DD, hoping it did come back in, to get it. 
  • I have one true phobia - snakes. Like, a crippling and awful fear that makes my heart race and my palms sweat, even when they're in movies or pictures. So my dad texts me a picture of a big one he found in his yard. WTAF.

    #1 the randoms are driving me crazy! Hi, we've never met before, so I don't really care about your naming issues, marital problems or even your babies. It's hard enough for my poor brain to keep track of the babies of people I care about.

    #2 my kid is messing with me. A whole week at home of her eating, then sleeping. Quietly hanging in the bouncer while I pump after her feedings. DH goes back to work and all grandparents go home today and all hell breaks loose! We started the crying 5 min after my parents left and continued through an entire "sleep period" stopped for a feeding, then picked back up through needing to get dressed, pump, get her ready and drive into town. Totally messing with me.
  • I had one hell of a morning...puking, constant headache, floaters, felt like a mach truck had run me over, constant itching and so I called my OB to see if they wanted me in at my appointment time or sooner.  They were concerned and had me come in sooner.  My mother drove me since it was hard for me to see.  I get there and they do some blood work, some pee work, check blood pressure and what not...they diagnose me with caffeine withdrawal.  I was trying to diminish my caffeine intake and finally got rid of it all.

    UPSIDE...it wasn't more serious.  Doctor gave me strict orders to drink lots of soda (you should have seen the appalled look on my mothers face of a doctor telling me to drink soda, priceless). and rest.  Headache is almost gone and the other symptoms so far have been alleviated, with the exception itching and the doctor said that there isn't anything she can do about that since the meds are not working.  Oh well.  FULL MOON JULY 12,  GOOD LUCK LADIES!!!!

    Been waiting for MBF!  I have to unload!  Sorry it's long...

    So I have 3 weeks-ish left before baby comes.  I want to take this time and just prepare for baby and enjoy these last few weeks with DD and just relax.  So of course this is a PERFECT time for BIL to come stay with us for a week.  

    On Thursday we left for a weekend of camping/DH's family reunion and we brought BIL home with us.  My parents watched our dog for us and when we got home they were going to bring him home to us.  My mom had made this beautiful ruffled crib skirt and we finally got the baby room done last weekend, so I was excited to show her the baby room.  Well within 15 minutes of getting home, BIL sets up camp in baby room.  Totally rearranges everything, piles his stuff on top of the dresser and changing pad, diaper bag and clothes I had laid out.  Throws stuff in the crib, piles his laundry on the floor.  I was seriously holding back tears because I wanted to show off the room and all the hard work I did and they were going to be there any minute.  I made DH go in there and stop him before he started airing up the air mattress and got some stuff moved.  

    In our porch, we have a doggy door in our door that goes out to the garage and then another in the garage to the yard outside.  BIL keeps closing the door to the porch so our dog can't go outside.  So I have to keep getting up to let the dog out.  And he keeps leaving the door out into the garage open and letting in all these flies.  He always buys a case of beer and drinks that all week long, but not before drinking ALL the beer we have out in our refrigerator FIRST!  Does he think we just keep that all stocked for him?  Last year he drank all my wine I keep for cooking and all my Twisted Teas.  Really, I will share anything if you ASK first!  

    And DH just asked me if I could take BIL to airport on Friday.  It's 2 hours away!  Yes, I would love to make a "quick trip" to the city while I'm  37 weeks pregnant!  No prob!!  Only 4 more days....
    Okay, the end for now....

    A random lady at work (that I don't even talk to) was completely floored when I told her I was having a girl. Her response "Is that what your doctor told you?" ...uhhhh nope, thats what my magic ball told me. She went on to tell me that I'm carrying WAY too high for it to be a girl. She also was APPALLED that I'm 40w3D's and I'm still working.

    After 40 weeks we should be allowed to slap stupid people.

    I've been told 3 times in 2 weeks that I'm having a boy because of how high I an or because it looks like a "little basketball belly"... I'm like, yeah no. 3 different UT have confirmed girl, and FWIW this old wives tale on how you carry is bs. I looked exactly like this when I was pregnant with DS.

    On a kind of related note, this idiot passed me in the grocery store and randomly pointed and blurted out "there's something in your stomach ahaha" ... No shit! It evoked the driest, most sarcastic laugh I think I have ever given. I wanted to ask him what was wrong with him.


  • TKT17 said:

    I've had my first serious contractions tonight...I think. Gah, I have no idea what the hell is going on.

    We were out to dinner and some were only four minutes apart, DH panicked so I called the exchange but they've since slowed down. But they're still hanging around and occasionally kinda hurt. I feel like everyone says you'll know, but what if I don't? Damnit.

    Same! Are they or aren't they real contractions? I don't know!

  • I am so ragey for almost no reason. So I'm bitching about myself. I yelled at my husband today just because it felt good. I even want people to act like idiots so I can put them in their place. This hasn't happened yet and I'm hoping it doesn't. (Because I have no idea what trouble I will get myself into.)

    This isn't my personality y'all, I swear!!!

  • @cakebatter27‌ thank you for making me laugh! Our feet look similar and my dh just made a comment about my ice cream intake!
  • @cakebatter27‌ poor thing! Thanks for the giggles! My feet look on par, even after the bath with sea salt :-( hopefully our feet get better immediately following birth!
  • Since we are reusing DS's crib and didn't have a dresser, my grandmother had a nice one (granted it's old) that she had storing for a friend of her's who no longer needed it as she is now in a nursing home. We moved it to our garage about 3 months ago so I could sand, primer, and paint it. Finally got it completely finished last night since we had a "cold front" move in in south Georgia. DH wipes out the spider webs that have accumulated in the drawers and brings it in DD's room so  can get everything out of her crib and into the dresser. Once the drawers and dresser are in her room, we realize it reeks of cigarette smoke. I started wiping the inside of the drawers down with cleaner and the paper towels were yellow. I started crying because I put so much time, money, and sweat (literally) equity in to redoing the dresser for it to not be usable for a baby's dresser. I wouldn't be so upset, but I'm due Thursday and my doctor has told me she will be here for sure by the weekend. The last thing I want to do tomorrow is tote DS around multiple furniture stores looking for a dresser that will be here next week.

    I was going to suggest scented shelf paper and let it air out (it doesn't have to be in there from day one, my furniture delivery got screwed up and I won't have it until after LO is here), but if it's truly that bad, this might be easiest solved by an IKEA run, rather than running around everywhere.  Just a suggestion to keep things simple. Sorry for the frustration after all the hard work, I get that completely, it sucks.  >>hugs<<

  • LOVE my Drs office, but WTF nurses!? I asked you a week and a half ago to send in my referral for my breast pump. I called my insurance company today to check on the status and they said they haven't received anything yet?! So I called my Drs office and asked if they sent it in and they asked if I asked for it at my last appt when I saw a different Dr. at a different office (my Dr is out of town so I saw his coworker) Umm noooo- I asked for it 2 appts ago when I was at your office!! Ok it should be processed in about 10 days she said (assuming that means she's putting it in today) grrrr

    Every night. Plus the baby goes nuts moving then and it is getting painful. I feel so dumb. I don't know the difference between cramping, contractions and braxton hicks either. I just say my stomach hurts.
    Lol I'm in the same boat. I think i have bxh sometimes and then i think wait no.. maybe it's just him pushing in there. Hes getting to big and it does hurt now when they move too much! Why is all of this so confusing :-?

    Tried DTD with husband and it was just the most uncomfortable thing ever. The mind is willing but the body will just not cooperate "sigh"
  • DH takes over with LO from about 7pm-11pm each night. Tonight I decided to try and get some sleep during that time but DH woke me up for stupid shit EVERY SINGLE HOUR.

    A tornado touched down in my city last night, and tonight consumers is apparently repairing things, so there was a scheduled power outage from 9-11. It seems to be just my neighborhood that got knocked out, even though nothing on our side of town is damaged. It's now almost 12:30, and the power is still out. DH is snoring away, and I have insomnia. First world problems.

    ETA: the power came on for 30 sec and went back off. Such a tease.

  • I'm getting a headache...AGAIN!!! I had one most of last week. Doctor finally took me out of work because he didn't like where my BP has been headed. I ended up in L&D last night with an awful headache and high-ish BP. Everything checked out ok, so they gave me a couple Percocet and sent me home to rest. Now the headache is returning. And I'm effing over it.

    (Didn't mean for that to turn into a SS post)

  • We adopted a baby elephant guys. I even painted her toenails. She's eating all my ice cream!

    That is all.

    I can totally relate. That's how mine looked by the end of the day before I went on bed rest. Hope you get a chance to prop your feet up.
