Re: Welcome to today's episode of...WTF Wednesday! (Go for u/o, symptoms and bitchin too if you like.)

  • DH and I kept the news private until just before the end of our 1st trimester even from parents and family. We have been together for almost 12 years and married 6, and were child free by choice for the majority of that time. This combo has made me super awkward at sharing the good news. We are really beyond excited about our big change, but I feel like such an AW when announcing. At a work lunchoen today on of the NP's I confided in says "Well courtyowl has some exciting new!" Totally unexpected and I got bright red and said "I'm pregnant." Some in the room already knew, but everyone else was really excited. But it was sooo awkward. Ugh.

    Also, I should note I am no wallflower. Usually a huge AW in all other aspects of life. It's just so strange that I am so private about my baby/pregnancy. Anyone else feel like this??

    This is us exactly. Everyone including our parents had given up even asking when/if we were gonna have kids. We've also been together 12 yrs and married 6, but we knew going into our marriage that we would wait 5 yrs minimum before even talking about kids. But you're right - we both feel REALLY awkward telling people, even ones we know well. They usually look at us like we're joking, then get WAY too excited. DH normally loves being in the spotlight, but this is even awkward for him. Never thought I'd see the day!
  • Can I have another WTF Wednesday?

    OK--so my Mom just got Shingles, which started a conversation among my DH and I about if we've had chickenpox. Apparently kids get vaccinated for them now, but yeah--definitely not in the late 80s when we were born. And he goes, "I don't remember."

    I swear, DH doesn't remember like ANY details from his childhood. I could tell you a lot about most major childhood events, like chickenpox. I went on to tell him, 'I was in 1st grade, I got it from the kid that sat across from me at my table at school. I went to the school nurse because I got this red bump...see this scar right here? I was missing one front tooth and I got an extra week off of school because it was the week before Christmas break."

    DH is always shocked that I can remember this stuff. I find it shocking that he remembers NOTHING. Is that a girl thing? What's everyone else's take on that?

    This exactly.

    I love talking about me. I LOVE it when people want to hear more about me and what I think and about my job. I'm not a huge AW, and I don't necessarily like everyone staring at me for something, but, I like birthday parties, I like people knowing I'm special for something. I think most people like that, right?

    But with this pregnancy, I feel so... not embarrassed, not ashamed... But I definitely feel weird talking about it. I don't know why! I'm in a kickass marriage, we both have great jobs. This should be something I love to talk about, but the status of my lady parts and the contents thereof (and how all of the aforementioned things are making the rest of my body feel) just seem like a weird topic of conversation...

    Plus the word "pregnant" is totally weird.

    also, for my wtf Wednesday-- after throwing up, I hate that I smell vomit everywhere even though I've washed everything off. Ugh.
    I'm back to comment on this too. DD has had some super questionable smelling diapers lately and the smell always, ALWAYS, get stuck in my nose. It's disgusting.

    The only "silver lining" is that DD now says "ugh mama I stinky" while crinkling her nose.
  • I can bitch here, right? Right. I already bitched about work yesterday, and now I'm editing the transcript, and I still want to set it and everyone involved in the case on fire. It sucks. Every time I think I've actually made some progress, I look at how many pages I have left and see I've barely done anything at all. UGH.

    In pregnancy-related news, I'm back to being hungry all the time. Yay. I completely demolished a plate of eggplant rollatini last night. At one point, I think I even managed to get cheese in my eye, but I ignored it and kept going.

  • @abeatyrn‌ - Yes! This is so rampant in Houston right now and it pisses me off! It also doesn't help that the delivery services are being jerks and tossing, mishandling, and leaving your packages in vulnerable places. I understand they're busy but please have a little respect.

    Luckily, DH and I work from home and monitor our tracking numbers but I wish someone would try and snatch our shit! DH used to fight professionally and after dealing with a pregnant Latina I'm sure he'd love to get some aggression out on a thief!
  • Yesterday, the nurse at work patted my stomach and said "ooh, your tummy is getting fat!"

    ...She knows I'm pregnant. I really love her, and I'm sure she didn't mean it in that way, but good grief - never under any circumstance use the word fat to describe a woman. And FTR, I've only gained 1lb back since I lost 6 during 1st tri.

    Oh, and my appointment next week has been rescheduled from 5:15pm to 7:00AM because my OB has to leave early for CPR training and apparently didn't know until a week before my appointment. That's just cruel.

  • WTF airport bathroom...

    It is always bad when the tp is out but when you are pregnant, hauling luggage around and considering your first poop in days (luckily I didn't), it is extra annoying.

    Sorry if that's TMI but it's the kind of day I'm having.

  • 1) My kitties are my babies. They will never go anywhere. I'm going to hope that if allergies happen, we can find a way to make it work, because I just couldn't imagine my life without those little buggers. I have nicknamed them Heckle and Jeckle because they love getting into mischief together. I was never supposed to have animals with my allergies, but  I have only very rarely and briefly been without a cat since I was about seven. It always takes me a few to respond when someone asks me what I'm going to do with my cats now that we're pregnant. Ummmm..... nothing???

    2) Now that I've had my monthly check in, I am going to just enjoy the hell out of some food for a couple of days. We are having our work cookie exchange on Friday, and I'm going to participate with abandon! I'm also going to enjoy some guilty pleasure dinners for a couple of nights. Then get my butt right back on the health train. One of the bigger downsides to being an overweight expectant mother is that I have a much smaller range of acceptable weight gain. And somehow I've already gained seven pounds!!! (I'm blaming constipation on some of that). 

    I read everyone's food posts and it makes me drool, but I know I have to reign all that nonsense in. I guess in a lot of ways it's a good thing. It's better for everyone involved to have a more balanced diet, but food is delicious. Why do you think I'm fat in the first place?!?!?!

    My WTF is that we've been having a lot of issues in our area with people stealing packages right off people's front porches. Wtf people?!? Now I'm super paranoid to leave my house for a second if I know something is going to be delivered. In one situation, the woman pulled up (well dressed and driving a BMW!) and stole the package and the wreath right off the from door! Thank goodness it was caught in camera and she turned herself in, but what a pain to have to worry about on top of everything else!
    My 80-something year old neighbor watches our house like a hawk (best security system EVER) and signed for a Fed Ex package for me this a.m. so it didn't sit on my porch while we were gone. It was from Seraphine, so thankfully she doesn't use the internet or she would have figured out I'm pregnant. Do you have a neighbor you could ask to grab your packages?

  • @carolyngrace, I'm so sorry about your cat!

    I'm with all the crazy dog moms. A couple I'm friends with are considering rehoming their very beloved dog because the wife's allergies became really terrible when she was pregnant and haven't improved since having their daughter almost a year ago (the husband had the dog before they started dating). They still haven't rehomed because they love the dog so much and are looking for any solution that will let them keep her. Luckily multiple friends have offered to take the dog so she wouldn't leave their lives, but they still can't pull the trigger. THAT seems like a normal reaction. Giving up a dog should be as hard as giving up a child.

    I have asthma and I expect that some of my kids will, too, so we got a hypoallergenic dog. I can't leave her for a weekend without missing her terribly, so I really can't imagine ever giving her away. I'd sooner cut off my hand.

  • New to this posting kind of excited.... so here is to my first WTF Wednesday!

    I have been working on a huge project at work all morning and around noon like 3 coworkers gather at my desk to go over something before we start one says "your grumpy today, so mad" the other 2 shake their heads. What are we in 2nd grade? I am grumpy why? Because I haven't participated in their chat back and forth about Fantasy Football because I have a huge project due by 3? I haven't even said anything but "good morning" since I got in!!
  • WTF was I thinking bringing my 15 month old to my OB appointment that ran an hour late?? During her normal nap time?! I didn't really have a choice, as DH was working but my goodness... I need to find a better solution for the next 6 months.

  • Heres my bitch, about my bitch  (ba duh ch! Dog jokes ftw) 

    I have a wonderful, sweet, incredibly neurotic rescue who is a pit bull husky rottweiler mix. She is gorgeous, and SO well behaved and quite possibly the best dog that not only *I* have ever had, but also ever come across. She is SUCH a good dog. And so, SO loving and protective of me, my husband, and our other dog. 

    The problem is, that she was surrendered from a home with what was described to me as "A lot of vicious uncontrolled children who tortured her". That means when she came to the humane society her tail was broken, and she wouldn't even look at anyone without cringing. She would cry if anyone even looked like they were reaching for her ears. She did NOT like to be touched. She was terrified of grass (she had never seen it in her short life) and also was terrified of walking on hard floors. She had absolutely no idea how to play with toys and would pee if you tried to offer her one.  

    It took YEARS of patience and extra extra loving on her to get her to turn a corner. (she is 7/8ish now, I have had her since she was 1ish) She loves belly rubs and playing with toys. LOVES the yard. And has warmed up to people other than just my husband and I (but still don't pet her head. she prefers under the chin)   the one thing we haven't been able to train/sweeten her out of.... she HATES children. Vicious, violent, hackle growl snap and bark in an attempt to rip them limb from limb at anyone shorter than 4ft tall. 

    This TERRIFIES me for our future with her and baby. I'm not giving up on her, but she is definitely not allowed near our kid, or even in the same room supervised or not, and I don't want her to feel like she is being punished because she is my baby too and I have literally pushed a boulder uphill in the rain to rehabilitate her from where she was as a puppy.  So we are already trying to think of ways to modify the house to keep them apart. Half door on baby's room. Baby gates to keep the dog confined to areas we aren't in.   It sucks and its heartbreaking and every night when she snuggles up to my face and gives me ni-ni kisses it makes me want to cry (and find those kids that tortured her and return the favor) 



    TLDR -  My dog was tortured before I rescued her so now, even though she is rehabilitated, she still HATES children and it makes me sad about what her life will be like after baby.

  • It has been increasingly uncomfortable hiding my pregnancy at work.  

    If it helps... I announced to all my coworkers today. Given I'm 15 weeks and up 15 pounds, I totally expected the reaction to be "I knew it!"  Nope.  Everyone was genuinely surprised. Including me!

    It must just be that they see me every day, so the change has been gradual. The friends I've seen for the first time since being PG, have noticed immediately.

    This is sad, and it's good that you're looking for ways around the issue. That being said, she might surprise you. Dogs have an instinct and she may be able to tell the baby has come from you so will have extra patience and love for it. Also this baby will grow up around her so it is likely she will be fine with it, she may even be able to re-associate a child with something good instead of something bad.
    I was going to say much the same thing. Since the baby won't be joining your family as a child, but as an infant, your dog will get the change to acclimate to the new addition little by little. It wouldn't be as abrupt as dropping a kid on her. I would definitely continue doing the smart things you are to ensure everyone's safety, but I agree, she just might surprise you!

    Yep, totally me, except I'm pretty private in general. But we've been together 8 years and are older, so I had totally brace myself for intrusive questions about how long we TTC, how we did it, and comments like "I didn't even think you wanted kids". (TTC took a while and I kinda coped by ignoring kids & babies, in order to avoid questions about when I was going to have them.)

    Anyway... so far I've been surprised that those fears have been mostly unjustified. So far. We still have a few months to go. :)

  • I just found out my credit card was compromised. Luckily I bank at Wells Fargo, which caught it and declined most of the transactions. I can't believe this happened again. The last time it happened six years ago I was pregnant. Now I'm pregnant again and it happened again. WTF.

  • Want to stab DH in the throat.  I had a bad headache last night - as in whimpering in pain bad - and I needed to sleep. DH: "Oh, go take a nap." Starts banging in the kitchen so loud that it feels like he's banging things against my head.  Walk in, and he's literally dropping cookie sheets in the sink.  !@#$!  Woke DH up to watch DS for the ONLY time on a weeknight since DS was born, since I found myself not caring if DS got into something dangerous.  I got 2 hours of sleep.  DH got 5, then called in to work so he could sleep another 3 hours while I take DS to a babysitter because I have a 2 hour fasting glucose test.  Then he gets home and starts lecturing me about Maslow's hierarchy of needs when there is 3 days worth of food on the ground and stove because I've been too sick to care.  NO.  You HELP.  Don't lean in the doorway and start nattering on about abstract concepts when there is real work to be done.

  • My bitch/symptoms are one in the same today. I am so so so so so tired of this awful, ridiculous, horrific back pain. Aaaaaannd my face is sooooo broken out that I literally don't want to be in public. It's so bad. :( I don't think the back pain will ease up all that much in the second tri (judging by my last pregnancy) but maybe the teenage boy style acne will let up in the next few weeks... Blehhhh.
  • All the dog stuff made me think of a rant I've wanted to get out. For the past few years, my in-laws had been taking care of a cat my sister-in-law left with them. My in-laws have always had a mix of indoor/outdoor pets and while they complained about their daughter leaving the car there, it was always in a joking fashion. Fast forward to present day, when the car has gotten more senior and is having issues controlling her bladder, etc. On thanksgiving, DH's father tells us after the fact that they've given the poor cat to a shelter! My MIL doesn't like to talk about anything potentially upsetting, so she quickly shut the conversation down and I don't know many details, but I was just disgusted! I know it wasn't "their cat" but they've had her for years and they must know her fate bringing her to a shelter. I just couldn't believe it.
  • My coworker told me that someone told her to be nice to me and give me a break because I have pregnancy hormones!!! Who says that!

    Went to patient first last night because i feel like crap.. i have a viral infection and im not contagious... Doctor barley touched me but perscribed me two different meds to help with my stuffy ness because my right nostril is about 50% blocked and my left is about 90%. After she tells me all that she says but im going to give you the scrips so that you can check with your OB first before taking them...Seriously cant you just prescribe me something that you as a DOCTOR know is safe to take during the second trimester??? 

    My not-my-doctor prescribed something but she seemed super begrudging about it so I am trying to get ahold of my own doc to see if I should take it (antibiotics). 30 hours later, no response. WTF doc? Hope you aren't in crisis mode, but I'd sure love an answer.

But I would also like to point out that I finally cuddled with my husband when we took a family nap.

  • A bit late to this but have to get this off my chest. I told my "good friends" at work about my news. One girl M I told on Monday, then told F the next day. I always thought announcing a pregnancy was at least a hug moment. No need to throw me a parade but I sure love a hug to celebrate good news. F responded with a robotic nod of the head, "Oh yeah, I knew you were"
    So I later told M how i thought it as such an odd but funny response. I know F would be happy deep down but it just didn't surface into a hug moment. Then M accused me of being attention grabbing, i believe her words some where in the convo was "People get pregnant all the time, shouldn't you just be happy that you are pregnant and not base it on people's reactions? "
    Sorry? Excuse me? I consider you both as good friends and not just "people". Very frustrating moment. Then M thought it was okay to start telling the ladies at our gym. I don't get it. So annoyed. Actually reconsidering her as a friend. I hope that isn't dramatic but I consider me being pregnant to be a big effing deal and I'm super happy and feel lucky and blessed.

  • @leenziepops‌ I would totally be ranting too! Maybe they are jealous or maybe F has been trying to conceive?
  • @hb4 Unfortunately no. I know for a fact that neither of them want kids yet. Just more hurt by M's accusations of wanting too much attention and fuss. So far from the truth.

  • @leenziepops‌ I don't blame you, I would be too. I think she could be jealous of you as it's not a very supportive reaction at all! Don't let it get you down though, we know you're not attention grabbing and are just uber happy and feel blessed!!
  • I have had the worst headache for the past like four days. It slightly goes away for a little bit, then it's back with full force. Tylenol helps a little, but I don't want to be taking it ALL the time. Yesterday I had a Dr. Pepper and it helped, but again, I don't want to be drinking caffeine every day. Ugh. I hate headaches.

  • @leenziepops‌ I completely understand why it feels like a smack in the face but if it seems out of character that F wouldn't be happy for you, there is probably something else going on. You didn't indicate that M's response was weird so I would chalk up her reaction to what you told her about F to her thinking that you were exaggerating. As for F, I know that she's said that she isn't ready for kids yet but if I was trying and having trouble, that's exactly what I would say to avoid lots of questions.

    It's hard but just brush it off - take the stance that it isn't about you, you know you're not an AW so if M or F was just having a bad day, I would assume that they will show a little excitement later on (especially when you start showing a lot).
  • @Katerina&amp;Baby @housewifebecomesher  Thanks for giving some input. Sorry to clarify, M was super excited when I told her. They both told me after I told F that they were discussing if I was pregnant or not because I abruptly changed my workout style at the gym. I went from beast mode, to dainty bunny mode. 
    F is muslim and unmarried and traditional so I doubt she is trying. 
    It really is a strange situation and I'm trying not to be hurt so much by it. I don't have many girlfriends so I was hoping they would share in my excitement. I'm actually going away with them for a girl's weekend this weekend, so i hope to goodness it won't be awkward. It's more awkward with M because of her accusations about being AW. F's reaction was just disappointing but not hurtful. She seems to react to big real life stuff in a different way. She would jump for joy if I showed her a new lipstick colour I've bought though..... I'm just going to try to suck it up and be happy for me with other loved ones in life. Thanks ladies.

    These freaking debilitating headaches I've been getting on the daily are really chapping my ass! This is what happens when I thought I was fortunate to not have had a terrible 1st trimester like some of my poor June baby sisters. Along comes the 2nd tri with head pounding, eye splitting headaches nearly every damn day. GTFO!!
    I'm getting NOTHING done because of these damn headaches. Killin' my productivity.
    Seriously.. I am right there with you guys. I been having horrible headaches/migraines on a daily basis. I can't handle it anymore--will it ever end?
