5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
I hate that being pregnant somehow invites strangers to make comments to me. We went to a local festival yesterday just because I wanted fair food. While some comments are nice, like oh when are you due, congrats, etc. some are just downright annoying. Some of the winners from yesterday (keep in mind it was hot as hell and I was sweating profusely and waddling because of it):
Stranger 1: "You're about to pop huh?" Me: "Nope 2 more months to go." Stranger: look of horror
Stranger 2 to their group as I'm eating Dippin Dots: "Look she ate too much ice cream!"
Stranger 3: "Oh man this is the worst time of the year to be pregnant, you must be miserable." And to my husband: "I feel for you man." Wtf?
This makes me sound like an awful person, but I'm still bothered by it from Friday.
We are allowed to wear jeans Monday-Thursday. Friday, you have to pay a dollar that goes to charity if you want to wear jeans (how does this make sense?). Fine. I'll pay that dollar when I wear jeans, but I haven't worn jeans since April at least.
My boss keeping insisting that I put in a dollar anyway so he doesn't get "hassled" about why he's missing money. First of all, they don't hassle you. Lots of people don't even pay, let alone wear jeans on Fridays. I keep saying I'll pay when I wear jeans, and then he makes me feel bad because he says "It's for charity!"
It is. But I make my own donations to charities I research and support. A FORCED donation is no longer a donation, it's a fee. And that said, I'd be HAPPY to pay it. AGAIN. IF I WORE JEANS.
Every Friday this same discussion happens, and I just sit here and feel guilty.
My boss is awesome, by the way, I think he's just SO NICE and he has a lot of money, so it doesn't register to him that yeah, $5 a month for something I can't even do is not really on my radar right now. I mean, does he want me to pay for the 3 months I won't be here? He made my coworker pay when she was on PTO!

He made your coworker pay? Ummm..I'd be telling him to get fucked, personally. I have issues with that, big time. If he is so concerned about charity funds, he knows where his wallet is located.

He did! I think she even said "I wasn't even here!" So maybe she didn't end up paying, because I kinda didn't want to be a creeper and listen to their conversation.
The other little girl that sits next to me tried to pay last Friday too and only had 65 cents. SHE WAS NOT WEARING JEANS.
I swear I'm not a horrible person, but it's like this festival of lights here (it's one of the largest in the world--people travel from far away to see it, and locals just sort of hate it) at Christmas. They say it's "free," but to get in you HAVE to donate $10 to their electricity fund or whatever. THEN IT IS NOT FREE. Just say it's $10 admission. End of story.
I have never posted in a Monday Bitchfest post. I read one once, but for some reason didn't really jive with it. Which is funny because I like to bitch
Not sure if I this belongs here, but I keep forgetting to take my morning urine on the morning of my appointments. I have done it 3 times in a row now. The last time they made me wait around until I could pee for them. The next time I took my second pee and all I had was coffee so they told me I had too much sugar in it. This time I was determined to get non coffee pee, drank 2 full glasses, had to pee twice to get the minimum amount they needed. Now finally I get to drink my coffee. I really need to be better about this. What I am really bitching about here is that I had to postpone my coffee intake by an hour. Not cool.
I really hate my ob's nurse. She doesn't answer the phone when I need her to and then she decides to act like a doctor and try and diagnose my symptoms. Then today a lady was there to get me signed up for the patient portal and the lady goes "you can directly email the nurse on here too, if you have any questions" and the nurse goes "oh good" and rolled her eyes at me!!!
I'm annoyed with the pregnancy stare-down. People stare at my belly, then at my face, and when I catch their gaze they give me a big smile. But then again, I smile whenever I see my belly too. It's just an odd human behavior.

I can't remember who did this to me the other day, but I was like "HEY, I'M UP HERE."
AC guy is scheduled to come between 11&3. It's 10:36 right now and I'm at my appointment. I swear if the guy calls and reschedules bc I'm not there right at 11 I'm going off on him. I've had 2 nights in a hot, humid house in South Louisiana August and I'm not in the mood to fuck around with AC repair.

Can someone please explain to me how if I order something using our Amazon Prime account (that qualifies for free 2 day shipping) on Thursday and my delivery date is the following Wednesday, how exactly it is 2 day shipping?
I want these damn cupcakes to make themselves. I'm thinking about having the kids make them while I supervise from the comfort of my chair. Me=LAZY!
I have a stupid pimple right in the center of my back where I can't reach. It HURTS! ( My skin has been so clear this pregnancy, but now this bastard shows up.

WTF?! I would so complain.
I would have said something right there to make her feel bad. I would have said "oh, it looks like she wouldn't like that, I will just call the ER, maybe."

It is because the 2 days only applies to the shipping time, not the handling. I think they have 3 days to fulfill the order. It also depends on what time of day you order.
ETA: This is true for any order. Non-amazon fulfilled orders can be up to 5-6 days handling time.
DH has been gone for two weeks and won't be home for another two weeks. Then he leaves again two weeks after that until about a week before my due date. I hate his job right now and I hate not being able to spend any time with him.
@TheOtherJacobsons Do you have to do morning pee? They just ask me to pee when I get there...at like 1:30 in the afternoon.
They want it to be a 4 hour fasting pee, which is why it is important for it to be the morning. They send me home with a cup after every appointment.
Why do I feel like my doctor is like, the CRAPPIEST doctor in the world?
Doesn't care if I eat lunch meat, told me to stop running, didn't care that I was taking melatonin. I have to do all my own research. And, she's the best we have here. So, unless I want to drive an hour to Pittsburgh, I'm stuck with her.
I like her. I just really think she's about 10 years behind on pregnancy-related things. I trust her to deliver my baby, especially if it's a c-section, since she's the go-to when other doctors have a complicated section to do. But. I don't trust her for pregnancy-related stuff.
Why is it so hard to know when to use "me" and "I" properly? I swear to god if I ready one more "me and my husband" post I'm going to lose my mind.
It's really not that hard. You just use I when you would use I or me when you would use me without the "my husband" part.
I'm probably guilty of this at times...I swear, I'm not uneducated! I find my grammar skills diminishing because my brain is taken up by kissing boo-boos, fixing meals and changing diapers. I used to be the grammar nazi, now I'm the lazy nazi. (
I'm so over being diabetic and having to eat such a strict diet while pregnant. I want to indulge a few cravings without having to take seventy thousand units of insulin. I'm normally a model patient, but dammit I am exhausted and cranky and all I can think about is a giant hot fudge brownie sundae. With nuts.
I'm feeling like crap and extra bitchy today, so this is probably the only time I'll post today.
I just want to bitch about my husband for a minute. Over the weekend he yelled at me and said I need to exercise more and that's the reason why I'm tired and sore, because I'm not doing a lot of exercise. Um, no. The reason I'm tired and sore is because I'm effing pregnant. I go for walks, I clean the house, it's not like I'm just sitting around doing nothing. He told me I need to stop being so lazy. Seriously?? I'd like you to feel what's it's like to be almost 30 weeks pregnant, then we can talk.
Also, he made me get up and clean the whole house on Saturday night because his allergies were bad. I had refinished two tables, went to the grocery store and did some outside work that day and I had just laid down on the couch. I was internally cussing him as I cleaned up after his messy ass while he watched TV and then started snoring in the chair. He's never once done the dishes, swept the floors, cleaned the bathrooms.. etc. I'd just like for him to realize that I'm tired and could use the extra help.
And done.
ETA: I forgot.. after I spent 2 hours cleaning, I was sitting in the bedroom watching TV with the door closed and he opens the door and throws laundry at me and says, "These need to be folded." He NEVER folds the laundry and expects me to do it and gets pissed when I don't. I sat there and cried.

I don't mean this to sound harsh, but your husband sounds like a douche bag. I would be so pissed off. I honestly don't even know what to say to all that.

Between this and what happened with your DH is the past, I would be dragging his ass to therapy or taking more serious & remedial action.

uhh say what? I'm pretty sure if DH did this to me I would've smothered his snoring ass with a pillow. I second the douche-bag comment. Tell him to pull his head out of his ass

Oh I know that, but I feel like I read it in just about every thread lately. It makes me cringe.
I know YOU know that. Otherwise you'd not be bothered by it. I don't notice that stuff because it's the internet, but that's how I remember how to do it right anyway

Stranger: look of horror
Stranger 2 to their group as I'm eating Dippin Dots: "Look she ate too much ice cream!"
