Waffles for my MIL. I got an upset phone call from DH's aunt yesterday asking about when our shower would be. MIL was supposed to spread the word on her side about there not being a shower. (My side assumes no shower.) Now DH's aunt is angry that there isn't anything big left on our list and "all that's left for me to get the baby is a fucking rattle."

I don't expect presents from anyone, and I appreciate everything we've gotten. I mostly feel bad that DH's aunt feels left out.

ETA the biggest thing left on our list is $150 in prefolds and covers... But she doesn't believe in cloth diapering. Womp womp.

Tacos for Peapod! We did curbside pick up yesterday and it was awesome, and it's free! If you haven't tried this, try!! It was so anti-climatic, they just put all the stuff we ordered in the car and then we left! And I think we saved money because there was no impulse buying!

TW to my work for being so hot...can I work from home today bc my office is 78 degrees?

Have a good Tuesday ladies

Yeah other than the diapers there's nothing nothing left for more than $30. None of those things are "enough" in her words.

then buy multiple things??? I never understood that. I love it when all the odds and ends are left b/c then I'm buying more things (and normally more practical things) and still spending the same amount.

I made the mistake of telling my SIL we returned all of the annoying toys we got at our shower because I didn't think a newborn needed toys, but that we could use that return money on things like wipes and bottles. Now she won't stop buying fucking stupid toys because the baby "needs them"

The DMV. Shocker! I have to renew my license so I went online to make an appointment only to find out our local branch is closed until September. So now I have to drive an hour away. Plus I get to take my new picture for my license 8 months pregnant. It's a double waffle.

oh man, what is your state's policy on pictures? i'm in maryland. you must keep your picture for a minimum of 10 years, and certain people are "extended" to longer (myself included). by the time i am allowed to get a new pic, mine will be 14 years old. you can't even offer to pay a fee for a new one, they absolutely will refuse to serve you and send you home...i get that they are trying to make the lines shorter by refusing "unnecessary changes" but really, 14 years?

my sympathy on the drive, the picture, and well, the dmv in general, haha

do you have a dog? dogs "mistakenly" think baby toys are for themselves... :-\"

gingerkid9989 · July 2014

Waffles for my dog who chewed up DH's new shoes yesterday. I was so mad that I screamed at him and then immediately felt guilty after because he has the sweetest eyes. Thanks so hormones, I went into a downward spiral of ugly crying because I felt like I would be a terrible mom to my LO since I lost my temper with the dog.

Tacos for DH for being so sweet in dealing with my crazy pregnant crying and assuring me that I would be a great mom.

Bella2425 · July 2014

Just got a notice I have to serve jury duty. At 37 weeks pregnant. So excited.

TW- my damn swollen hands. Being on the computer or writing for work all day don't help. This swelling came on so suddenly over the past few weeks that I didn't realize before it was too late that I can't get my wedding ring off my finger and it's really starting to irritate the skin and hurt due to the amount of swelling. I tried icing my hand to decrease the swelling and use olive oil to remove the ring but still no luck. Anyone have any good advice for getting the ring off?? (I'm also worried that if they have to do a C-section, they'll cut it off and I really don't want that to happen)

wait...maybe i'm an idiot...what does having a c-section have to do with wearing rings??

no other advice - stick to icing, oil, and drink as many fluids as you can stand, good luck

maybe they worry about excess swelling? I know they told us at the hospital to make sure you come in to L&D (c/s or not) with no rings on b/c they'll make you take them off. I'm guessing if they can't get it off, then they cut it off. But the nurses have the dental floss trick down, so cutting it off is a last resort.

I don't know as far as reasoning for all of it, but I know when I had my tonsils and adenoids removed in December they told me to have everything off when I came in. Contacts, earrings, body jewelry, etc. Same with my wisdom teeth removal.

TW: All the babies who are trying to make an early escape. Stay put ya little suckers..

Tacos: Every single one of us who wants a damn taco because we're getting paranoid about early arrivals. (Also just everybody deserves a taco today, I'm in a giving mood.)

anewadventure · July 2014

yikes... ::scribbling note for hospital bag:: .... leave wedding rings at home... thanks gals!

My aunt told me at a family party...in front of everyone...that there was barely anything on my registry. Funny...cause at that point, there were still about 100 items left. I think she meant to say that there was nothing she wanted to buy...sorry?

kmbk27 · July 2014

Waffles for whatever this is that got to me in the last couple days. I'm hoping the bulk of it is allergy-related, but I've been so dizzy off and on that I stayed home from work today.

Tacos to S14 and to my mom for taking me to sushi after work yesterday.

brittneyandadam · July 2014

Waffles: These September babies who think it's ok to come when it's not even August yet! Stay in there LO's....I promise it's not all that great out here!

Tacos: DH. After ruining my laundry on Sunday and rubbing his 4 day weekend in my face, he managed to use his last day off to clean yhe kitchen, living room, and garage...and do the dishes and go grocery shopping...thus managing to keep my nesting anxiety in check. He's a rock star.

KATILLAC1 · July 2014

Waffles go to my emotional A$$ for crying for no reason at work AND at home yesterday.

Tacos go to DH for putting up with me, giving me a back rub and waking up with DD last night so I could rest.

biokitty42 · July 2014

I nominate my DH, who took my garage door opener out of my car without telling me. I realized this when I left to go grocery shopping with DD. So I did an awkward, fat, pregnant run to close the door from the inside and get outside before it closed.

Once I did this, I remembered I'd given my house key to a friend so she could check on my cats while I was out of town, and I'm effectively locked out. DH wouldn't answer his phone, so I drove to his work before shopping and stole my garage door opener back.

After I did this, I realized that he had also left his house keys on the counter for the past few days for reasons unknown. I was planning on being out when he gets off work, so now he is effectively locked out, and still not answering his phone. I'm inclined to let him figure it out on his own and just go run my errand this afternoon anyway.

Return all of her gifts. Problem solved.

@JustCricket Thanks for the tip on the dental floss thing for ring removal. It took several attempts and definitely didn't go as smooth as the guy in the video, but it did end up working. My finger hurts like hell now, but that will only be temporary.
Damn hormones can't let me be happy about anything though... finally got the ring off and then cried that I wasn't able to wear my wedding ring anymore. I just want to go home and take a nap.

YAY! glad it worked!!! I put my ring on on a necklace. Not necessary but I like having it on me still

amom2four · July 2014

@shimmer475‌ I feel your pain with your dd. Mine just turned 13 and thinks she's an adult. We also have very similar personalities and hormones between the two of us right now may come to a war scenario. I wish I could say it gets better, but I would be lying. Sorry. Stay strong!!

And time apart is very healing. I'm thinking my dd needs to hang out with my parents for a few days.

Twatwaffle: My MIL, who hasn't ever bothered to tell me and DH that all of his life insurance stuff goes to her address. She texted me today to ask for my social security number and DOB so she could add me as a beneficiary. Apparently she thinks that we should both be listed, so if anything happened to my husband, SHE would get half of his life insurance?? WTAF. Plus I will never give that woman my social and DOB because she stole her daughter's identity when the girl was 18 and my SIL didn't even find out about it until she was 30 and had to file for bankruptcy.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN?

wrightpalomo · July 2014

Waffles go to this crazy-long "heat" wave we've been having in SF.... two weeks of warm weather + no screens on our windows = 3am mosquito attacks... I seriously haven't slept through a single night of this heat wave. We're both always too warm so we usually keep the windows open, even when it's not hot. But Hubbs never gets mosquito bites so I'm the only one suffering.

Last night I tried to keep the windows shut after 7 but something smoked in my oven while I was making dinner and I was choking so badly I had to open the windows... then I spent the rest of the night chasing mosquitos around the apartment. Where is the lovely fog that usually keeps this sort of crap under wraps?

Does she pay the premiums? That's the only way that is even remotely acceptable.

I'm guessing so, because I've never even heard about this policy. DH signed up for it waaaaay back when he was 20 and never mentioned it to me, so I'm thinking he forgot about it. We've been married for three years, and she's had herself listed as the primary beneficiary this whole time. She said something about it being $20 a month??

It ESPECIALLY rubs me the wrong way because of the fact that she basically stole thousands upon thousands of dollars from her daughter to buy TVs and computers and new cars. My SIL is now in crippling debt because of the bankruptcy she had to file for, and my MIL doesn't help her pay any of it. But she finds the money to go on cruises and to Disney World every single year. Omg, I just hate that woman so much.

TW: stupid mail man who jammed my shutterfly order into my mailbox. Thanks to you my pictures are all bent.

Tacos: my mom. She came over today and took me out to breakfast then helped me with laundry and making some freezer meals. Love her!

ashaw512 · July 2014

Nominating my mother. (Original story) She wanted DD to stay with her for a week when DS was (in September) and DH and I said no. One bc I don't like her husband, and they argue to much and I don't want my baby around that. Two, because DS is suppose to born on sep 8 which means DD and DS would be three days apart bc her bday is sep 11. Well I want my daughter on her birthday, but I'm selfish for that bc I was suppose to still be in the hospital.

Now she is trying to take DD home with her NOW that I'm in the hospital trying not to have DS. I don't know how many times I have to tell her no, she gets her feelings hurt oh well. I'm suppose to be in a stress free environment to keep my bp and heart rate down so contractions don't start and this is stressing me out. I've told her to leave but she insists on staying until DH gets back, DH pleeeeeease hurry.

LindsayMae84 · July 2014

Tacos: to the girl who rang me up at motherhood yesterday. I was just planning on buying one nursing bra, but she offered me buy one get one 50% off! It was too good of a deal to pass up for something I need anyway.
