So since I have a rant, I'll be happy to hear all of you ladies' rants.
So maybe I'm being selfish, and you're welcome to tell me I am, but this is my first baby. When building our registry, DH told me not to put a stroller or combo travel system on the list because he already has a stroller in the garage. This has happened with a lot of other things too... bottles/baby toys/etc. My stepdaughter is 5 and he saved a lot of her stuff from when she was a baby. That's cool and all... but he won't even let me remotely look at travel systems because "we don't need it," although my mom already told me that she would like to bless us with one.
Like I said before, this is my first baby. Baby showers only happen when you're being welcomed into motherhood and maybe I'm being greedy, but I feel like by him telling me that we don't need to get any new things, I'm being a little bit jipped out of the tradition of it all. I know that I won't get this experience again and it's just hurting my feelings.
God I sound like a selfish b....
Not to mention, I'm concerned with if the carseat we get end getting (one of the only things DH is letting us get new) will fit in the stroller or not and with how clean a stroller can really be after sitting in a garage and/or storage for the past five years.
Anywho... what is bugging you ladies today? Thanks for letting me vent.
I would just "accidentally" get a carseat that doesn't fit the stroller. Or your mom can "find one at a garage sale." Sure you shouldn't lie to your spouse but he shouldn't be so frugal about letting you get new things for your first baby.
My husband left the military in Feb and switched to the reserves. He had a job for a few months, but it paid shit and the benefits sucked. So now he's going to school and the program ends next week. He's trying to decide between a job in SC and a job in GA but we literally have nothing done. Nowhere picked out to live, I don't know if I need a new doctor, I don't know when we're moving, don't know when to turn in 30 days notice and don't know when to start packing. I'm so freaking stressed out.

*hugs* That is incredibly stressful. I've lived in both states and live right now in a town that is both military friendly and borders both states. If you'd like some info on each state you can send me a message and I might be able to help out.

Thank you! Our problem isn't finding knowing the area, it's the deciding where to live. He's from GA and I'm from SC. I spent 4 years following him around from GA to South Korea and then CO. I want to stay in SC until next year so I can have family help with the baby and he wants to move to GA because he has friends there. We've only been here a few months and he hasn't even tried to like it so I'm just frustrated (and tired of moving!). I also end up doing all the work when we move, I'm always responsible for finding somewhere to live, packing, making arrangements and whatnot. Plus who really wants to move at 6 months pregnant?! Especially when you have to find a new hospital and doctor and a new house and start all over after doing it 6 times in 4 years.

Yikes! I'm sorry! Sometimes I don't really think they get how much you sacrifice as a military wife to be with them. It can be quite hard to be away from family like that, and for you to want to stay in SC and be by family, especially with a baby on the way is understandable. It doesn't seem like you're asking to stay there forever, and after all the moving around you have done to be with him and support him while we served, he could try to be a bit more accomodating and live there a while longer, then decide where you will settle down. It's stories like this that make me so glad my husband and I have the same hometown and want to go back to the same state when he gets out! Hugs!
My rant is this... my MIL. Ughh. After the thread about asking the grandparents to be to get vaccinated, I talked to my mom. She always gets the flu vaccine and is going to make my dad this year for baby's sake. If necessary, they will also get the pertussis booster, although my sister who is a nurse said they may not need to. So I asked my MIL about them and she gets the flu vaccine every year but said her husband doesn't. I asked if he would be willing to for baby's sake and she just laughed it off telling me babies are fine and have immunity and that "besides, I've never seen him get the flu." Seriously?! And no, they freaking don't! They have almost no immune system when they are that little and can't get vaccinated that soon. I'm so sick of her undermining me and laughing absolutely everything off. She never respects what I have to say or my wishes! I understand that it is his choice to get it and all I can do is express my concern and wishes, but to laugh it off and give me that line of crap that babies have immunity? Come on!
Luckily my husband will support me on it. He has been quite wonderful lately, aside from his newly developed inability to pick up anything or clean his dishes off. Quite frustrating there as well! We have a baby on the way, I don't need him acting like a fully grown child.

Just as it's his choice whether to get the shot or not, it's yours to allow him around your child or not.

I'm trying to negotiate with him. Stay in SC until tax season next year and then he can start looking for a job and whatnot. If we wait then we can go ahead and buy a house instead of moving from one apartment to another. However; with school ending and money running out at this point it's more about getting a job in general and less about anything else.
I really honestly wish he had stayed active. I'm accustomed to military life and it's much less stressful.
Today I was feeling pretty confident for the first time in a long time about my body. I was excited to finally feel like I look pregnant and not like I'm just carrying a food baby. People were commenting on my how cute my bump is and everything. Then a co-worker says to me, "If I didn't know you were pregnant I'd just think you're bloated." Thanks a lot, lady.

Wow...people are rude. My SIL said something similar and while she was trying to be nice and say that I was still small, I just felt like crap because of it. Lol...

What is wrong with people?! Did you let her know she was being rude? I definitely let my co-worker know. Although maybe I shouldn't have lol
Just as it's his choice whether to get the shot or not, it's yours to allow him around your child or not.
I was talking to my sister about that today actually. I told her they better not be too upset if I'm unsure about bringing my baby there. I know that baby will be around people that aren't vaccinated at church, the store, etc but those people won't be touching my baby and it will be small amounts of time. They also won't be holding my baby and breathing right onto him or her.
My boyfriend feels the need to watch EVERYTHING on tv on the absolute loudest setting that it will go. I've continuously asked him to turn it down and if he's deaf, he'll slightly turn it down, but he gradually starts to turn it up again, then to top it off he'll try to talk to me, then gets irritated when I'm like huh, what, I can't hear you, turn it down. I currently want to punch him in the nose and toss a box of q-tips at him. Grrrrrr!
Ok so my sweet husband is in the military and is away most of the time. He is currently in another state training. I luckily get to talk to him on the phone. I swear to god though, if I hear one more time "that he is going to do it when he gets home" I am going to scream. When he is home he is exhausted. I do it all, clean, organize, WORK, take care of the dog, help his family, etc... I want to get the damn baby room ready to roll before he deploys. Also he gets so mad if I even get a little snippy. So I'm supposed to be alone, get fat, take care of all our business, oh and be f_cking pleasant all the damn time? Bah... Rant complete...
Lol my husband of two years is threatening to walk out on me. Claims he wants to be a daddy but doesn't want to be a husband anymore. He's from Argentina and I agreed to marry him so that he could get his green card. Wrong of me to think he's a selfish prick??
Well ...i took care of the house cleaning an so on my dh had to do the dishes and some light cooking. I go in to our small small SMALL kitchen and nearly vomit each time. O did i mention we are running out of dishes? No it's not a joke. We have 2-3 clean plates. No cups 2 glasses no teaspoons no kniwes. Everything is dirty next to the sink on the floor and he comes home and starts playing on his laptop. Last night i went to the fridge and nearly vomited and he says (from his laptop!) At least go in to the bathroom. I wanted to throw that fridge to his head!

Been there and done that. Lol. Military life is a mess sometimes. I had my first while we were overseas in Korea and my husband had field training for 30 days at a time every 2 months while I was pregnant and then he was gone every 4-6 weeks after he was born. Some advice, visit family after baby is born (I went stateside for 6 weeks when my son was 3 months), because raising a baby alone is an easy way to get depressed. AND take advantage of girls days and getting out of the house. Once my son was 6 months we had play dates 2-3 times a week.

You are aware you are essentially admitting to a federal crime on the internet. Agreeing to marry someone so they can get a green card or citizenship=fraud= illegal
I made a doctor's appt two weeks ago and they just called and cancelled today. My orginal doctors appt was 6/15/15 and the can't fit me in until next month. My work schedule is very strict and they require one month notice to take a day off. Also , I'm not allowed to take half a day off of work. So I'm going to miss my 16 and 20 week appt at this rate. It's really hard to find a doctor in network who accepts my insurance and when you do it takes a couple of weeks to get in.
Ok..diagnosed with placenta previa and only restrictions are no extreme exercise and no sex... both doctors (ER and my OB at our follow up, both males) apologized to my husband. Wtf? I happen to be the horny one right now! Plus this is our 3rd child in less than 4 years...I obviously am participating too! Why is no one apologizing to the horny, over emotional , pregnant lady?!

I'm a little late to this party...but I have a rant.
I really, really wanted cheeseballs last night at like 9. Fried goodness dipped in ranch. Well DH wouldn't have it, because he was tired and wanted to go to bed. He didn't even have to come into work Friday (today) until 2! I threw a huge fit because I didn't get cheeseballs. I was pissed because it's like, we ALWAYS do what he wants to do. He has basically the same work schedule, but is always so tired. Hello?! get on a SLEEP SCHEDULE. You've been at your job for a two years now, shouldn't you be used to getting up early??? How about you think about your wife for once and ask her how her day was or what she wants to do that evening.

if he got the green card within the first 3 years of your marriage he only has a "temporary" green card and as such that will need to go through USCIS again to be made permanent, to avoid these kind of issues.
SoFlaMommy- wait until after your promotion to tell your company! It is illegal to have a woman forego ( or delay) promotion due to pregnancy but my job did exactly that! I earned a promotion but bc I was pregnant they told me it would take effect after I get back from leave. Absolutely unfair & illegal. I have a promotion coming up in July and I will be mum until I see the money in my bank account! Btw- I work in a very professional environment, but that didn't matter
Thanks @japostolova I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. It's ridiculous and completely unfair. It's going on 6 weeks since my review when I was told I would be promoted. It is unusual that it would take so long to become official, but it is for a big promotion. Trying to maintain a positive attitude, and I've been as understanding as I can when my boss checks in to tell me she's following up on it, etc., but honestly, the whole situation has been slightly demoralizing. I just feel like they don't value me.
Grrr! Bought some maternity pants yesterday since I've outgrown my regular pants and don't want to just keep buying clothes willy nilly throughout my pregnancy. I don't really have a bump yet and the damn things are about to fall off. The belly bit at the top has nothing to freaking hold on to and it's annoying.
Also, the husband of my boyfriend's ex (if that's not a phrase straight out of Jerry Springer I don't know what is!) commented yesterday about how I'm not showing and asked if there was a reason for it. He's a sweet guy, just kind of clueless and his wife just had a baby in April and she was huge by 4 months. I had to explain to him that just like women develop differently at other times in their lives they develop differently during pregnancy and there is nothing wrong with me or the baby.

I hate maternity pants! There is nothing to pull them up so they are always falling down. I've noticed the underbelly ones are a little better.

I'm one of these ones that live in leggings lol. I don't care what people say they are comfortable lol. Maternity anything are not as comfortable as they make them out to be. Can you not some how put some cord in them so at least you can tighten them?
@VexyMommy are you going full panel or Demi? It sounds like Demi would be better for you at this stage since the stretchy part isn't so huge. If you can find the fold over style those are smaller too.
It's the full panel. It stretches pretty much to my bra in the front. It fits in the legs, thighs and butt, it just is slipping all over the place. I am probably going to return the pair I haven't worn yet and continue on in my skirts and dresses while the weather is still hot. Maybe by then the pair I'm wearing will fit and not be as annoying. I may also try on some of the underbelly/low panel pants.

If your dress code at work is relaxed Target has jeans that are demi. I found them to work great for this awkward stage and I wore them right up to delivery with my first. Unfortunately, all of their professional pants were full panel. Hope you find something that fits comfortably.

The under belly ones are where it's at until the 3rd tri for me. Much more comfortable.

Unfortunately, dress khakis are the most relaxed I can get away with here at work. Although I've spotted a few ladies in leggings and tunics.

Look online at old navy's maternity pixie. They stretch out fast so maybe order a size down. I have 2 pairs and love them. I might wear them after the baby!
I take a trolley to work each day, & this morning the crazy driver speeds off before I had a chance to take a seat! I had to grab hold of something to keep from falling. I get they have schedules, but I could have been seriously hurt or thrown to the floor. Smh.

I looked into that thinking it would be a great option. I was able to try on a size 2 and they were still really large on me. Prepregnancy I typically wore Express 00 or 0 depending on the cut. I haven't found a size 0 in store to try on. I have an awkward body type that doesn't work very well in most clothes. I really do appreciate the advice and I will try the underbelly panels to see if that helps any. I may just continue to wear skirts and the palazzo style pants until I get a good deal larger.
Re: rant away, ladies! let's hear it.
Nowhere picked out to live, I don't know if I need a new doctor, I don't know when we're moving, don't know when to turn in 30 days notice and don't know when to start packing. I'm so freaking stressed out.
Thank you! Our problem isn't finding knowing the area, it's the deciding where to live. He's from GA and I'm from SC. I spent 4 years following him around from GA to South Korea and then CO. I want to stay in SC until next year so I can have family help with the baby and he wants to move to GA because he has friends there. We've only been here a few months and he hasn't even tried to like it so I'm just frustrated (and tired of moving!). I also end up doing all the work when we move, I'm always responsible for finding somewhere to live, packing, making arrangements and whatnot.
Plus who really wants to move at 6 months pregnant?! Especially when you have to find a new hospital and doctor and a new house and start all over after doing it 6 times in 4 years.

Look online at old navy's maternity pixie. They stretch out fast so maybe order a size down. I have 2 pairs and love them. I might wear them after the baby!
