havent seen a new one yet so i thought i would start one up.
ive got a pretty silly one, DH and i along with our roommate started playing this new game on our phones (mine is on my ipod) and for whatever reason, the game app crashes multiple times a day for me (happened like 15 times yesterday) which wastes the in-game energy and gives me 0 prizes/rewards/experience. i think i lost at least 90 energy and that is a lot. oh man. so annoyed.
Ok, so I am team green. I have two friends that are "convinced" I'm having a girl. Both always refer to my belly as her and she. I'm really starting to get annoyed. I know it's about them and their need to be right but can you stop it already. It just started to bother me yesterday. Many things started to bother me this last weekend. I think I'm over being nice. I'm perfectly fine referring to my baby as "it".
DS has started regressing on all fronts and we're a month away from LO'S arrival. He only eats with his hands, he's been hitting and kicking, he won't sit on the potty and bedtime has become a grudge match. We're focusing on getting his sleep back on track first and hoping some of the other problems are because he's sleep deprived. Potty training is on hold until after LO is here. I'm already tired from incubating the tiny human - I don't have energy for this.

Oh no! Good luck, I hope it's mainly the lack of sleep thing!

I feel you girl. Our DS will be 3 in the beginning of July. I've heard that 3 is a WHOLE NEW LEVEL, but good golly my frustrations with this child's lack of listening skills and doing what's asked of him may drive me to drink. He's testing boundaries, patience, and basically we have reverted to telling him to do the opposite of what we want for him to do, in order to get him to actually do what we desire. Reverse psychology at its finest. I'm not even attempting potty training because of his strong will to NOT want to do it right now. Praying that I will be able to manage my sanity when DD arrives.
A weekend full of bbqs with family has given me a new rant. Aside from the excessive amount of bump rubs I got, I was taken back by how many people kept asking to feel her kick. I wish I had some control over the matter but I don't. On top of that, half the women making that request were mothers. Did they all forget that pregnant ladies can't control what their babies do in utero (or post birth for that matter!?)?! At least I know that's the last I'll see of most of them till the baby is born.
And ps, it's insanely weird saying goodbye to people and knowing the next time ill be a momma. Still doesn't feel real
I'm cranky and for some reason really pissed off about the sticky about the dietitian. Of all the services to offer a new mother....How about a pediatrician. Something that would actually be really useful for a new mother. I feel like it feeds into this idea that I have to bounce back to pre birth body as soon as possible.
It's just so short sighted for the bump and it makes me angry every time I look at it.
So lo is due in a week and my S.O decided to tell me that he is not happy and hasn't been happy in awhile. Today he text me saying he wants me to move to my moms.
So my mom decided now (with a little over 3 weeks left in my pregnancy) that she is quitting one of her medicines cold turkey. The doc gave her some phenergan (spelling?) to help, but Lord have mercy, I don't think I can deal with her acting a fool & having withdrawal symptoms while I'm in my 9th month & possibly caring for a newborn. Today she flipped out on me twice. Yay for stressful family members. (Only child & she lives 20 min away...)

I'm so sorry that you're going through this! What an awful bombshell for your SO to drop. And to do that through a text? What a coward! Best wishes as you go through this, I hope that regardless things work out for the best for you and your LO!

Especially since it looks like this lady specializes in nutrition during pregnancy....
I'm with @sideboth on the dietitian sticky! It's just more pressure women don't need to maintain an unreasonable standard at all costs? I'm sorry but if my post party's body is not acceptable the world can just eff off! I'm a big fan of listening to your body! It makes me cringe when pregnant women complain that they are hungry and then list what they ate that day. If you are hungry, eat!!!
@jlpcdt2015 that is horrible!! You're not wrong to be pissed. For what it's worth, it sounds like he might be saving you a lot of heartache in the future by just hitting the road now. He sounds like a total coward.
@barbfarmer89 exactly!!! Yes let me communicate with my fetus and ask her to kindly kick you. If only I could reply, "my daughter won't kick you but I could happily try!"
@Mommaswizz my sister in law is so crazy..... I've posted on here about her before. She says she can communicate with her baby ..... And make it kick..... Geez what's your problem? Lol........ Haha.
1. I played hooky from work on Friday and dreading work tomorrow (well, everyday now). 2. MIL told me "if I didn't know better I would swear you are pregnant with twins". Yep, just called me fat. 3. My brother in law's wife totally pissed me off. Every family gathering she never helps prepare any part of the meal and never helps clean up. So me, 9 months pregnant, and my SIL clean up after dinner for 12 people while she lays on the couch. I am so close to losing my $hit with her, but know it will start all sorts of drama. I needed that vent.
Lmao @klkonwi good god there's definitely something wrong with me. Hahahahahah but seriously if someone told me they could communicate with their baby, I'd laugh my ass off. I have the rest of my life to chat with this kid. I'll enjoy our radio silence for now hahahaha
I know I'm just going into crazy nesting mode but I really get annoyed when I come home and my husband is sitting watching hockey while two huge boxes invade our kitchen. One is out new glider and the other is our stroller car seat combo. Seriously you can put it together while you watch your stupid hockey. You can do two things at once!
So lo is due in a week and my S.O decided to tell me that he is not happy and hasn't been happy in awhile. Today he text me saying he wants me to move to my moms.
So sorry that you have to deal with this. He seems totally checked out and immature. Hoping you can find the strength to kick him to the curb. You don't need more drama in your life. Especially right now as you focus on the care of your precious new baby. Best of luck to you.
@jlpcdt2015 I'm really sorry to read your post. Guy didn't even have the balls to face you like a man. Wishing you the best of a rough situation, and sending you positive vibes as you go thru this.
Thank you to everyone for the best wishes. I guess it's better this happened now and not later once DD is attached to him. I can't believe he wasn't man enough to say it to my face. Needless to say I'll be leaving him with an empty apartment because I paid for everything in our place.
39 weeks and I can't deal with the just checking in calls and texts. I never knew it would piss me off so much. I'm a hermit, I'm a super hermit at the moment and I'm getting 9 calls a day from my mother, 6 from a friends and texts from total randoms that I really have very little to do with. We haven't even really announced the due date to anyone but family/very close friends except it's June. If I don't answer my mothers calls she keeps ringing. God help me.
Being pregnant before mobiles & Facebook would have been so much more peaceful and we are very private people.

Depending on your state, the law may be on your side for you to stay in place and for him to move out. But you will know what's best for you.
Hang in there! What a loser he is, I'm sorry. So glad he's giving you an out now, rather than dragging you and your baby down. Great you have family to support you and such a positive attitude. Big hugs!!!
And.. The same person (@klkonwi knows who) that stated she had 16 shots of terb or whatever.. Posted on another thread arguing whether or not they change due dates by late ultrasound .. And that her dr changed hers because she was measuring 3 weeks ahead.. But she just had terb.. Hmmmm :^o

So Saturday the 23rd was my last day of work and today is my first day at home by myself without my SO. I am so bored that I'm going out of my mind. I need to give myself a task for each day, I think, because I cannot go on like this.

Oh wow... Time alone is such an amazing gift! Use the time to appreciate what it feels like to be completely on your own schedule!
@ElRuby I will try to take your advice and just enjoy this time! It's just that I'm used to being very busy all the time so this is a tough adjustment!

This is how I felt when I first started being home- I went from 100 mph to 0 and it was such a tough adjustment! But I honestly think the relaxation has helped me have a symptom and complication free pregnancy. Rest! Watch Netflix! Try a new recipe! Craft something for LO! You could probably spend an entire day on Pinterest looking at cute craft ideas lol

My work schedule cut down by like 75% and I'm off today. At first it was weird but it's great now. I've spent all morning in bed with puppy and now I'm trying to decide if I should go to the pool. Take advantage of this alone time before LO gets here and you're dying for a nap
Well contractions are going on a week straight now but still not dilated ... gah the pain in my back is killer. Nothing is helping. My feet and hands seem like they're stuck swollen . I feel like a giant balloon. Florida humidity does not help. Other than on a positive note my LO is almost here !
Thank you @mvargas12 and @Serenamarr for your feedback! I have been trying to relax and be stress free today. I'm thinking of going for a walk and starting a blanket for baby when I get back. You both had great suggestions! I appreciate them very much.
This is very petty and I have had my fair share of typos but "advise" and "advice" are two separate words and it drives me crazy when I see it I here ALL THE TIME!
Re: new complaints and vents for the week 5/25
What's the point?
But bringing LO home to a spotless house is important to me.
