Weekend rants, vents, complaints

DH finally slept in bed last night after a few rough ones of me tossing and turning.

I took a Tylenol PM to knock me out and help my back pain. Instead, I woke up to pee in middle of night, was groggy, couldn't disentangle myself from the snoogle and knocked a glass of water over. Brilliant. Woke everyone up as I scrambled for towels.

A few hours later, get worst charley horse I've ever had by far, scare the living daylights out of DH again as he wakes up to me gasping and writhing in pain.

Ugh I effed up his night so much! And I feel like crap this morning to boot.

    I knocked the glass that came with my awesome bedside carafe over and it broke. I managed to not cry about it so i'm proud of myself since I cry over just about everything! Sorry about your rotten night.: /

    @momtobeobrien Im with you, but also being pregnant I feel more vulnerable. My balance, strength, and ability for "fight or flight" are all off. That would have made me feel a bit threatened/anxious..."does he see me as an easy target?" Ug...just leave us alone!

    I slept like crap last night too. This f-ing heartburn is awful. I took 2 antacids at midnight which did nothing. I added another pillow to the pile I already have and still no relief. At 2 am I considered making myself throw up just to empty out my stomach. I can't even drink water without getting heartburn. 7 more weeks of this? I'm going to be a zombie before LO even shows up.

    Some jerk clipped the side mirror on our car. Found it dangling when I got home from lunch with my mom today. Can't wait to tell hubby when he gets home. Ugh.

    At my MIL's house for dinner and her most obnoxious, idiotic bitch of a friend is here as well. She knows I don't like her, too, so she tries on purpose to piss me off (like those bratty kids who poke irritated animals).

    I hate her so much, but at least I get the satisfaction of seeing her frown when I smile through yet another thinly veiled insult >:)

    So when they made my baby shower invites they used the company's website as an RSVP tool for the guests. All you have to do is type in the webpage and it asks you to put your name and how many attending then click submit. It's so easy. And of course it's only my side of the family that's stupid enough not to be able to figure it out. It's annoying as all hell and wish they would have just done old school rsvp and had them call or email.

    I'm seriously the worst procrastinator ever. I have two finals Tuesday and Wednesday and what did I do all day? Took a walk, cleaned the house, sat outside to get some color... Pretty much everything under the sun besides what I should have been doing. UGH. Better luck tomorrow I guess

    Gaviscon.  The fact it's liquid form pushes all that acid right back down and is mana from heaven.  And, it's just an antacid like Tums, no extra stuff in it like Pepto Bismal, so safe to take.  THOUGH you may want to double check online in case the ingredients list is different in the US than Canada.

    I can relate! So hard to get school work done when it's nice out. Good luck with your finals, I'm sure you'll do great even without the extra study time! :)

    Gaviscon has saved my weekend! it's been helping me sleep and with bad nausea caused by heartburn. was trying to avoid taking anything, but too miserable without it.

    How many times a day are you using it? Have been limiting myself to once a day, but may need to up that...

    My MIL made a big stink about our baby shower this past Saturday. It was a co-ed shower from 1-4. She said that no one is going to want to stay that long because it's in the middle of the day and people have plans on Saturdays. She wanted us to open our gifts as people came instead of opening them all around 3 after games/lunch/socializing so that way people can leave when they want. Well, every single person that came stayed well past 4 and it turned out is was just HER that wanted to leave. She dropped the gift off, ate lunch and left without so much as a goodbye! This is somewhat not surprising, but our feelings were still hurt because this is the first grandchild...! Uhg. 8-|

    I had my first really awkward/angering moment with a stranger since getting pregnant at Walmart this weekend. I am almost 35 weeks so I would say that's a pretty decent run before wanting to punch someone in the face for their rudeness. 

    I was browsing in the women's clothing section just to kill time while my husband was in the restroom (meaning I was being lazy and deciding not to start the grocery shopping on my own as I thoroughly hate to grocery shop at Walmart). This man strolls through the middle of the clothing section and without even looking at me says, "Won't be long."  I took a quick glance around and just mumbled a polite "yeah" since I was the only person nearby. He proceeds to stop at the end of the clothing section and turn around then nods at a woman walking his way then says, "Always waiting on a woman." This time clearly directing his stupid comment to me. I just again politely smile and start to walk away from him. So far this encounter had just been a little weird but I attempted to remove myself just so there would be less opportunity for any more comments from this random dude. 

    Apparently, i didn't waddle away fast enough because as soon as the woman reaches him, he proceeds to point directly at me, hit the woman on the arm and then yell, "Hey! Tell her it won't be long!" then laugh like a hyena. He was so loud that people walking by were startled by the volume and proceeded to stare at me like some circus act.  Sadly, it gets worse... the woman spins around points at me too and starts laughing just as loud! I was so shocked and angered by this random, unnecessary display that I almost flew off the handle at these people. Luckily, my husband called and I had my way out of this horrible scene without resulting to confrontation. 

    I wasn't mad really at the words he used. He wasn't saying anything too rude but it was just the way he decided to scream them at me for no good reason. What in the world makes someone yell and literally point and laugh at a stranger in the middle of a crowded store?!

    Instead of my SO putting together the crib he said he would do 2 mnths ago and bring in the dressers his dad brought over so i can actually get the kids room together(my 6 yr old is sharing) he is golfing. Freaking golfing. Im overwhelmed and he knows what i need from him and he decides to golf.

    Am in the crappiest hotel with rude receptionists and they can't/won't turn off the broken heat in my room or change my room. No wifi in the room, only really crappy wifi in the lobby. Cannot freaking wait for DH to get here tomorrow. We are checking out this new city we're moving to in January, and this is a depressing start. I miss my man, he makes everything better

    So from my previous post of a shared shower that my coworker & friend. Was hosting for myself & her bf. This is an update it turned out to be a disaster. She told me the day of the shower after all of our kids helped decorate that she didn't want to give me a shower. And she told our coworkers that I was being greedy and playing them. Because she was throwing me a shower & they shouldn't have a shower for me on the job!! Keep in mind none of our coworkers came to this shared shower. But she said I was being greedy for having more than one shower!! I was so hurt it brought a lot of drama!! But the job shower turned out really well!! I just don't understand why she wouldn't tell me how she felt before the day of the shared shower!! It was really awkward and hardly any of my guest came because they didn't know the other pregnant lady!! I should of took everyone who commented on that post advice on not to do it!! But lesson Learned!! She and I currently do not communicate at work at all!! She is really pissed about the job shower she says she doesn't like those ladies so I should of told them not to give me a shower !! But I didn't know grown women behave in such manner I get along with just about anyone :(

    Really freaking annoyed with drs office right now, and more annoyed that I don't have recourse until the morning, grrr.

    1) my safe meds list for coughing has on it 'any cough medication that does not contain alcohol or dextromethorphan in it'. Well damnit, dextromethorphan is the main cough suppressant in *everything*, and pretty much every single webpage Dr Google leads me to says its generally considered safe in pregnancy! So WHY can't I use it?

    And 2) I finally got access to my patient portal today and was checking my lab values, etc, when this catches my eye 'urine drug screen positive 10/28/14'. Wtf? I was not on any drugs in October, not even my beloved green. So I go to check the details, thinking maybe I was still carrying over some THC from when I did have green, but even then was thinking that was weird cause I was pretty sure I hadn't had any for at least a month before September, which was before I even got pregnant... So I get there, and I did not test positive for THC. I did test positive for tricyclics (antidepressants), amphetamines (ADHD meds), benzodiazepines (valium, xanax), AND methamphetamines, tho. All of which I most certainly was not taking. I don't even know how someone could conceivably take all those and not have their organs explode, or something. This lab test makes me look like junkie, and I don't like it. No sir, I don't like it one bit. And you'd think they would have talked to me about taking all these drugs at the beginning of my pregnancy, right? Not one word was uttered. Just so baffled.

    Looks like I'm going to be on the phone tomorrow! Even tho at this point, those cough suppressants are more important to me than a lab mixup

    Weird that all that came up and weirder that they never mentioned it!!!

    I have on my safe list from the hospital plain Robitussin for cough. As in not Robitussin DM. But I doubt you'll find a Robitussin that says "plain" on the bottle :/ good luck!

    @mellymar - have you tried just guaifenesin (sp?)? Looks like that's what they might be after. There's a Mucinex plain one, too (again like not DM or whatever) - same drug. My doctor recommended that to me last time I had a hanging on cough, but I wasn't pregnant then! The idea is you don't really want to suppress the cough, you want to make it easier to cough out the gunk, so the cough can be productive and you can be done with it!

    Any time I need it!  There's no real 'medicine' in it per se, so the doctor said whenever.  Usually at most twice a day, I think one day it was three times (about an hour after each meal).

    @mellymar I don't know exactly what the laws are but I do know that I do NOT have to have permission to drug test a baby that is born. I know for a fact that I HAVE to get a permit signed to drug test a mom. This leads me to believe that it has to be a lab error/patient mix up. Either that or you were on a LOT of sudafed? Lol .... You should of signed a permit..... And id be raising hell.

    @klkonwi I'm guessing it has to be a lab mixup. The only thing I was taking at the time was beer and cigarettes. A lot of beer and cigarettes, to be honest (it was a very stressful time for me) but that's all. Maybe I took one of hubs' sleeping pills a time or two, but I was certainly not doing all of those drugs. That's a for real party. I still maintain I don't see how *anybody* can test positive for all those different drugs at once and not OD

    @Frogger5 I had some mucinex d a while back (guaifenesin + sudafed) and at that time I still had something in there to bother to cough up, and it didn't help me bring up much. Now, for the past 3ish days, there has been nothing to cough up. There is no gunk anymore. Its just a totally dry, hacking cough that comes from feeling like I have bugs crawling in my throat. Water, tea, cough drops... All useless. Strangely, benadryl helps some at night. But generally otherwise, I spend *hours* coughing uselessly. Hours. My only guess is its an evil cousin of post nasal drip and instead of making my throat hurt, it presses my throat reflex to cough. All day.

    Shiz, man, I'll try all the meds again tho. But I'm still calling them. I'm gonna have to, I'm looking at being constantly on some kind of cold medicine all day long (I've been trying to only take stuff at night to sleep and just dealing during the day) - I'm sure there are limits to how much sudafed or benadryl or guaifenesin I can take in a 24 hour period

    I know it's not the weekend anymore but I need to vent a little. Let me preface this by saying I love my best friend like a sister, but also occasionally butt heads with her like a sister.

    Anyway, my husband and I have been talking for months about breast feeding versus formula feeding. We decided it was best for us and our situation to formula feed. Yes, I know all of the benefits but both of us were exclusively formula fed and did just fine. I have explained this to my best friend and she seemed to get it.

    Fast forward to today, she's in the medical field, shadowing some doctors and trying to get into med school so she's always got some sort of unsolicited advice that she thinks is better. She messages me and asks if I had considered breast feeding for at least the first couple weeks since it passes on immunity. This wouldn't normally bother me but we have had this conversation before.

    I may only get to have my husband home for a couple weeks and would like to work on a feeding system/have his help while I'm recovering. This pregnancy has been healthy but hard on me since I just got out of physical therapy for my messed up knee right before I found out I was pregnant.

    I'm not upset with her. I'm more annoyed with the fact that nobody listens to my reasoning and seems to think they know better for my baby. I am a very educated woman and have had months to research since I can't work in my field right now due to the involved danger of climbing and materials. People with no kids are the worst about it too.
