I'm just pissed at everyone. I had an exhausting day at work and called DH on the way home to vent and he kept changing the subject or brushing everything off. Then I called my sister and wound up on speaker phone with her and my mom who basically said they were ready for baby to be here so I'd stop being so angry. Came in crying and trying to calm down and when I told DH nothing was wrong he kept on and when I finally told him he basically said it was my fault for calling them and agreed with them. Sorry I'm such a bitch. I wish I wasn't but I'm hormonal and tired and I can't help it. Also found out for sure today that DH has class out of town for work the Monday through Thursday the 2 weeks before and week of my due date. Then he also decided Tuesday to put the thought in my head that his mom might not be able to cut back to part time at work and watch the baby two days a week like we'd arrange because his dad's hospital bills are going to be expensive. Then everyone has the nerve to tell me to calm down.

I would cut someone too!
Thank you! I knew I could count on my fellow bumpies to make me feel like less of a psycho

Telling a pregnant woman that she's angry or to calm down is just plain stupid. Even if you are angry, you have the right to be. I'm sorry you had to deal with that. I would have been super pissed and drowned my anger in some ice cream.
@KarasTwin for real! I hate when DH just blows me off when I am trying to vent about my day. Look, I realize it may be boring or whatever to you, but I listen to you drone on about the crap that annoyed you today, and usually don't have anything to say for myself. So today I do, and damnit, break a girl off some attention span!
Ugh. DH just told me today he might have to leave for training for a month in July (we are both active army). To add on to that...he will be gone for training in August as well. So basically, besides the first few weeks, I will be by myself for those first two months. I know there's plenty of strong woman that have been in a similar situation and all the single moms that have done it without anyone ever....but I'm just really frustrated and scared I won't handle this well and I am not looking forward to returning to work without his help. Don't get me wrong, I knew when I signed up that these type of things happen....but whyyyyyy must they happen right now ?? This prego is not a happy camper.
So a few days ago was a centipede in the bedroom. Last night was a cockroach in our kitchen (!) and now I've woken up with a painful something or other bite on my leg after changing the sheets before bed last night. I HATE BUGS.
I'm trying to get recommendations for a professional exterminator as we have a nasty ant problem. Everyone keeps saying to try the homemade remedies and DIY things. I continue to say that my husband works 75 hours a week and I'm just too damn pregnant to walk all over the house putting peppermint oil and cinnamon and all this DIY crap. For the love of God people of Facebook, I was just looking for an exterminator, yeesh!!
Rant over.
Yup. I'm gonna use the chemicals, get the eff over it, does anybody know who I can call? Damn! Either that or your happy asses can come over and put down cinnamon and whatever. For free. Since you care so much.
Exactly!! I'm not walking my pregnant ass all over the house putting crap around all the doors. Haha

I would absolutely cut someone too. That's totally ridiculous!! They should all be taking into consideration everything you're going through right now! There's so many different things going on physically and emotionally and telling you to stop being angry and to calm down is like asking to be punched.

Thank you both for your service!
I'm sorry he'll have to be away the first couple of months. Im sure it's not easy for either of you. Do you have family close by or close friends that can help and offer support while he's away?
I went for my 36 week appointment yesterday...wasn't dilated at all and baby hasn't dropped. I know it wouldn't necessarily mean anything if I had but I was still bummed.
My doctor told me to walk 30-40 minutes at least once a day...twice if I was up for it. It's hot & humid here so I went and walked the mall yesterday, but I have NO energy!!
@Mandisclark@Westypet@mellymar@Sammy K thanks ladies! I was just like really ya'll? DH finally realized why I was upset and offered to buy me a journal to keep a,list of what I'm worried about so we can tackle it one thing at a time. I'm tired of feeling crazy and I don't need advice at every turn, maybe just someone to say it'll all be ok.

Exactly!!! My DH made a good point to me that we have these lists of things to do/accomplish before baby comes, and it's very easy to give each item equal weight or importance in my mind and get freaked out.

It WILL all be OK. You will be a great mom. There will be tough days but your family is going to have so much fun. The coolest thing I remember was watching DS react to my voice when he was minutes old. Your baby already knows you! Being a mom is amazing and you will be awesome! Hugs!

DH's best friend from home is coming to visit for the weekend. I wasn't crazy about the idea considering how close I am to my due date (11 days!!), but this friend hasn't been out to visit yet and DH has been dying for him to come out, so I agreed. Well, now DH just texted me to let me know that he's at one of his audits that's 1.5 hours away. He had planned to take a half day, but something came up with the audit and now he has to stay until his boss decides they're okay to go. This particular boss has been known to keep him there late... in the past, when DH has been at this audit location with this boss, he hasn't gotten home til 8PM! His friend plans to get here around 5. I am not a happy camper! Crossing my fingers that DH will get out at a reasonable hour. I have no idea what I'm going to do to entertain this friend for 3 hours if the boss keeps him for that long, which is entirely possible.

@Westypet haha! Maybe. I literally have NOTHING in common with this guy. It's fine when DH is here, but the idea of hanging out one on one feels super awkward. When we all hang out together we usually play Risk but that's not a 2 person game... cards might be a good solution. Thanks!
Summer people piss me off. It doesn't help that the Jones's are summer people and they seem to embody all the annoying traits of those who come up during the summer. Thy drive too fast and generally don't follow traffic rules, are not courteous, and usually treat the area and the people who live here like hotel staff and amenities.
@HayesRN13 and @klkonwi you guys stole my gripe. But seriously, "I don't know how this app works," or something to that effect. How about figuring it out before starting a thread?!?
I am so over the helpful "check out the daily symptoms threads" and am moving on to cranky pregnancy sarcasm .... I can't even ignore the stupid anymore... Is it normal that my belly has gotten bigger????!!?!?!
Just now realizing the weather is going to stay colder than anticipated, so need to get a much warmer set of clothes for LO's arrival. We have all these short and sleeveless onesies, and we seriously need long fleece onesies with feet, instead!
Also, I am so totally overwhelmed by breastfeeding and post partum that I have literally nothing. I don't want to buy needless items, so instead I have none of the essential items. Counting on the grandmas (my mom and MIL) to rescue me when they arrive. Either smart or worst. plan. ever.

I liked that response better than "don't worry".
:x
One-sided beer pong? Card game? Hors d'oeuvres? lol
Ok. I'm a little better now. Thanks. Sorry.
I'm getting super cranky in my 'old age', lol.
With the excuse..... I don't know how this works?!? You can't read ?
Must be illiterate.
ETA and as a side note - where the eff you been!?? New to the hood and walking like swaggering gangstas. Puh-lease, homie.
(First world problems, all the way)
This is me from now on when a dumb question is asked....
