The hospital where I'm delivering cancelled the birthing class I was registered for on 5/23. The next one is June 20th, 6 days after my due date. So that's cool. [-(
So on the elevator on my way to my appointment some lady asked me when I was due and proceeded to tell me how miserable I should be feeling. Then some girl at the cleaners asked when I was due, then said "you're excited" like I was nuts, then follows with, "you aren't going to sleep for a while."
Honestly, I tried for this baby. Yes, I don't feel great. Yes, I have anxiety about this life change. How about some positivity people!!! Also if one more person tells me about their pregnancy or delivery I will scream. I. Do. Not. Give. A. Shit. Lol.

Wtf is up with people doing this?! I don't understand it at all and it drives me freakin nuts! Like the shut your pie holes!
Doesn't have much to do with pregnancy, other than being emotional, but my fur baby I'm afraid will be making his way to heaven before too long. I got him in February off of Facebook from a girl I went to high school with claiming she had to rehome him due to moving and her landlord not allowing pets. He was a little skinny when I got him but otherwise happy and healthy. I live in the south and being so hot and humid and with the mosquito population almost unbearable, I took him to the vet for a heartworm test after I started hearing him coughing a lot. Low and behold he is so infected I can not only NOT have him treated for fear he'd die, I can't use prevention to at least kill the immature worms bc it will kill him as well. The vet says its day to day. I have to shove antibiotics and steroids and tranquilizer a down his throat to keep him calm and make him rest. It's physically and emotionally exhausting. I love this dog so much I could punch this girl in the uterus for not giving him the proper care he deserved. I now have to consider euthanizing him, which is breaking my heart. All dogs die, I get it. He's barely two. And he's the best dog I've ever had. I'm so furious I hope I never see her again. I guess that's what I get for not having him checked out right away.
You are doing such a wonderful thing giving him the love and caring he deserves. I'm sorry for your pain.

My baby care class was supposed to be this past Tuesday, but they canceled it that day and rescheduled it for 5/19. My DH had already pulled some serious strings to be able to attend that class (he is supposed to be on duty, the original date AND the new date) so it was a total hassle. Also, they only have these classes every other month, so had I been due this month they would not have wanted me to take the March class, so I could have concieveably had my baby before this class came up. This other gal in my birthing class was, in fact, due next week, so she may very well have her baby before the class. Stupid. I don't understand why *they* don't understand that we're kinda working against fate, here. There are circumstances beyond our control that could really muck up the works when they can't meet their agreed upon times
@mellymar that is annoying! The main part of our baby care class is giving a baby a bath and class watches. Talk about cord drying and falling off in approximately 14 days and so forth...... How often to feed baby every 2-4hrs. A lot of what you can learn you can take from other moms if your feeling anxious. Have mom friends at all?!
I have a new gripe. Ordered our sectional in February and promised an 8 week delivery. It's been 13 weeks and still no sectional. I'm about to freak on the furniture store. Oh also just got the bill for my overnight stay the last night in march........ 600 dollars. Was that migraine really worth it ?! OMG.
I hate all the sad dog posts. I get so sad and emotional whenever an animal is sad or abused. Between this, the post yesterday about the dog licking the sand because it was so thirsty, and the posts that keep coming up on facebook I seem to be constantly crying. I can't stand it when people mistreat their animals. They pretty much rely solely on humans for their happiness and it makes me so sad when we neglect that. I just want to go hug my dog right now, but she's asleep in her crate. I wish I could blame these emotions on pregnancy, but unfortunately I'm always like this.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this hopefully he pulls through, I have seen many successful heartworm treatments in my line of work if the worm load isn't too large. Sending good vibes to your family and fur baby!
I am just sooo exhausted from all the pains and aches im having..my back is killling me...and everything takes 10× more effort from me..even washing dishes seem like I worked full day...but I am also very grateful to have this baby and that thought makes me bare it and im afraid of labor and I know its around the corner. ..everyone else anxious about it? I understand it's also going to be happy moment and to meet with our baby we can't wait that ..I hope u understood all my mixed thoughts and emotions here.

Nothing ruins my day more than seeing neglected or abused animals- I unfollow every single person on my Facebook who posts any type of horrible image. I will KILL anyone I ever see hurt an animal. I'm going to go make my dog a scrambled egg
I'm tired of clueless people with no filter. My cousin asked if I could move my induction up a week because it fit her schedule better. Um, I know she doesn't have kids, but that's not how this works.
Then there's the lady at the office who told me even if I feel good now, I'll be miserable soon. Thanks! I really appreciate your support!!
And the friend who said I was "evil" for not telling our families it's a girl. My family drama is my business. What you call evil, I call preserving my sanity. At least she's been respectful enough not to mention the sex on FB. I'm having a hard time not being a snarky, sarcastic b.
@jjvanwagner25 at this point, he's vomiting his medicine. He's too unstable for the steroids. He's crying when he urinates. I'm going to have to have him put down. I can't stand the thought of him suffering anymore. This came on so acutely and he's going into kidney failure. There's nothing more I can do. I can't allow this to go on anymore. I would rather him be at peace at this point than have him suffer for my selfishness. It truly is a tragedy.

I'm so sorry, losing a pet is never easy. I hope you can find peace and comfort knowing he's not suffering anymore.
@klkonwi I have a lot of friends, some of whom are moms, but none of them are nearby, and none of them are such great friends that I would feel comfortable with them seeing me at that level of uncertainty, you know what I mean? However, I do have my sister, and she will help me navigate the perils of early mommyhood (thank the gods)
I have had multiple gripes and complaints on here but I figured hey why the heck not and have another one...
I'm a hair stylist with a pretty steady clientele every week with regulars that also includes Thursday's and Fridays "blue hair ladies" (very old roller set ladies who like their hair washed in purple shampoo so it gives their white hair a bluish hue)
Ok rant is I see these women every.single.week... And every week it's the same questions well how much longer, well how bad do you feel, is your husband ready, is he going to know what to do with a little girl, are you swollen, you look puffy are you gaining MORE weight. The list is endless. Also I know it's just me being a crab apple but the way they say it with creaky old person voices and and having no filter I sometimes lash right back with smartelic remarks (i.e. "Oh what are you having... My response, a dinosaur") I know I know I should feel terrible by being snarky with little old ladies but I'm telling you they are the worst for my short temper right now.
Also they are a little ceanile(?) at times and say the dumbest most ridiculous things that make zero sense. One in particular argued that breastfeeding is "new" and the way your supposed to feed babies is with formula. Umm lady you do realize you were born with tatas for a reason?!
Thank goodness this is my last week before I take my leave. And yes they are freaking out about who will do there weekly shampoo and sets and I'm like LOOK HERE YOU LITTLE SHITS.... Do not tick these other gals off while I'm gone or they will jack your hair up so bad!! Oh gah I feel like such a terrible person now.
Yesterday, I was having a phone (land) line installed at my house so I can do some work from home while I'm off.
The phone company told me to be home for the installation appointment from 8 am-6 pm. At 3:30 pm I called just to see if they were still coming. The customer service guy looked it up and said, "oh, all we had to do to install it was flip a switch at our central location. If you plug a phone in now, it's working."
Thanks, jackasses, for having me wait around all day for no reason! Ugh.
SammeMotley i'm so so sorry to hear about your puppy. My heart breaks thinking of our furry friends being in pain. Know that you're making the right decision to ease his pain despite how much pain it brings us humans. I had to say goodbye to one of my furbabies a few weeks ago and I'm still grieving him not being here any more. It will get better with time but till then, I'm thinking and praying for you!
@Mommaswizz thank you, I need all the prayers I can get. I've stopped all medication and let him out of the bedroom with vets approval. He's resting beside me until 3 pm when my husband comes home to take him to the vet. I can't bear to go with him. Until then I'm giving him all the love I can. He seems to know I'm saying goodbye. He will be dearly missed. I have vowed to never own another pet. I just can't take the heart break anymore.
@Mommaswizz aw I'm so sorry to hear about your doggy! Just remember that dogs don't look at death the same way that humans do- that's what I always think whenever any of my animals have died You're doing the right thing by putting him to sleep, I know it's so hard and horrible but he will be okay and so will you xoxoxox
Thank you @emilywooddesign it was such a sad few weeks after saying good bye to Killian but i'm thankful to have my puppy Luna to snuggle when I'm feeling sad. One thing that has helped me has been thinking of how good a life we gave Killian. I know there are people in the world that aren't as loved and as well taken care of as he was. So remember that you're giving your little pup the best existence he could have. I'm sorry you're rethinking pets in the future. the grief of losing them is the worst but the joy of (hopefully) many years together makes up for the pain. Keep your head up @sammemotley you're in good company with all the animal lovers on here. We're all thinking of you
@SammeMotley aww hunny! Sorry my Tag got mixed up on the last post but my last post for @Mommaswizz was for you also! You will love another pet again- there is nothing like the love from a pet xoxox hang in there
I'm about to throw my phone in the trash. It updated last week and since then the service is getting crappier by the second. Now it keeps popping up a message saying my sim card isn't Verizon. I tried taking it out and putting it back and that's not working.

My phone updated recently too and its been... Cranky. I'm not having problems like yours (sim card messages) but the internet browser acts weird and it takes long to charge now...? Telling me to 'use the charger that came with the phone'. I AM using the charger that came with the phone! It literally takes almost all day to charge now.
@mellymar@karastwin I've been trying to restore my iphone, it has been updating for 24 hours! ready to throw it at a wall! spen 2 hrs at the genius bar to be told its a software issue and this is all i can do!!!!
@mommaswizz@sammemotley myheart goes out to you. when i think of all the things my kitty and i have gone through in 8years and what a good friend she is , my heart squeezes so hard a the thought of losing her. im so sorry, pets arent people but they are great friends.

So annoying! It's the galaxy s4 and I've never had problems. I have crappy service at work but it's even worse now. I may stop at Best Buy and go to the Samsung bar after work.
Ugh, rant about my dad. First off, since he met his current wife my sister and I have always taken a back seat. He barely spoke to me usually once I began living on my own, and speaks with my sister maybe once more a year. So anyway, when we did speak, he was always asking me about when I would have children. And I never wanted kids, so needless to say I always told him it wasn't going to happen. Then my sister had the twins and I got a bit of a reprieve cause he finally had grandkids (but not like he went to see them or anything).

Sorry you're going through this. My dad was like this for my siblings and I before we all started having children. We think it's because he wanted a chance to "redo" what he didn't do with us. Like literally he buys the grand kids a rediculous amount of stuff, which I am grateful for but still it's the point. I know it was hard for me to get over but eventually I was able to move on and realize that people do make misktakes. Not to lessen your rant but I feel like we're kinda in the same boat. Hope it gets better!
@mellymar i'm so sorry to hear your dad is being so shitty i know it's not much help but i hope he backs off or actually starts to show some interest in how YOU are doing.
@mellymar sorry to hear about your dad DH's dad is a real piece of work, too, and I see how much it hurts him when he pulls crap like this. His situation is a bit different from yours, but the the result is the same. I hope, one way or another, things start to improve!
@mellymar sorry you are having this experience... I wonder if maybe he knows on some level how bad he messed up with you and thinks this might be the only way he can connect with you... Hopefully you can find peace with this situation.
@mellymar booooo to your situation My dad is making his bad dad years up with my 8 year old brother. best dad ever now. Cracks me up. Oh and yes it's weird to have a sibling 20 years younger.

I'm so sorry @mellymar. This is really crappy and I'm sure you feel like crap. Maybe this child is an opening to see him occasionally and repair the relationship a little bit? So you can have a time to time relationship?
@mellymar so sorry you're going through this - family drama especially with parents especially while you're pregnant is never good! Hopefully he will now try to repair the relationship between the two of you and not just for the sake of the baby but because he also realizes the error of his ways from before
I think my baby is Big posts..or measuring big...fundal measurement was off.. And do you think my baby will come sooner he's measuring a week ahead.. It's going to get worse as we get closer to our due dates, I just want to say only your baby knows when they will come (or your doc if they schedule it) %-( sorry if that makes me sound like a B
@mellymar we've got your back. Sounds like your dads being a jerk and doesn't even realize it. I hope one day you get the Chance to confront him. But in the meantime I hope you just focus only your sweet little baby and protecting him from that ish as best you can
Re: Gripes and complaints
Honestly, I tried for this baby. Yes, I don't feel great. Yes, I have anxiety about this life change. How about some positivity people!!! Also if one more person tells me about their pregnancy or delivery I will scream. I. Do. Not. Give. A. Shit. Lol.

Anyway, now that I am pregnant he is ALL OVER me. He keeps messaging me, or will call me sometimes, and always asks "How is baby?" (Not how am I. I'm worthless, apparently, beyond my ability to have a baby) and wants to put up online 'baby shower' invites to my registry, and is talking about coming to see me this summer. He's also talking about 'How hard it is to wait', like he hasnt done anything else other than never be in contact with me. I get it. He's excited. But, he acted like he gave ZERO f*©#s about me before I got pregnant, and now that I am I'm worth nothing except this kid he wants me to have. He doesn't even ask how *I* am doing, despite my constant telling him it hurts my feelings that it seems like he doesn't care about me, just 'the baby'.
Ugh. Rant over
