So I told my mom last week about the pregnancy, even though I was only 5 weeks then and I had planned on waiting for the US. I wanted to let her know that we weren't visiting for the 4th of July for a reason.
So this week, just days later, she's already bombarding me on facebook chat with info about baby furniture, registries, how I was as a baby (which I've heard so many times all my life), and taking my husband's side on all sorts of other issues! I just said, "MOM, the only reason I even let you know about the pregnancy is that I wanted you guys to leave me alone about the 4th! This might not even work out! It's too early! Chill!"
I don't blame her for being excited, but it's so early!! And WTF!

Feb 2016 September Siggy Challenge: Things I Love About Fall--Pumpkins!
Caution this is going to get long because I need to vent!
Wtf to our back neighbors. They have a big dog, we think a shepherd mix, and a smaller dog or the beagle variety. They stay outside 80-90% of the time. We have 2 chihuahuas and a husky. When we moved in 3 years ago we could tell the big dog "Dash" was getting into the yard. Hubby spoke to them and it seemed to stop. We got the husky that fall and had to make our backyard a prison to keep him in. Hubby has dug out the entire fence line and buried garden timbers along the whole thing.
He had not got out for about a year until last month when their dogs dug a hole between the yards and the husky went to visit them. They admitted their dogs dug the hole. Hubby came home and filled our side in with dirt and pavers.
Tonight as I'm leaving work hubby calls and asks what I hear. Their beagle thing was outside our pool screen barking it's head off. It dug under the timbers and was chilling in our yard. They don't seem to care and we have spent hundreds of dollars and countless hours enforcing our side so our dog is contained.
If you can't be responsible enough to keep your dogs in your yard, you shouldn't have dogs.
F16 Sep Siggy Challange - Fav Thing About Fall (even though "fall" won't be here until at least Dec)
WTF with our neighbors who spent all of last night peeling out throughout the neighborhood. Apparently someone called the cops on them, and as soon as we heard sirens the neighbors pulled back on our street, turned all their lights off, and drove down to their house. We have security cameras that caught the whole thing and I am so sick of their recklessness. It's going to get someone killed!
My wtf goes out to the fact that it's already July! I go back to work on the 27th but have been off since May so it's going to be really hard getting back into the swing of being a productive human being. On the flip side, it will be nice no longer having to live off my measly 400/week unemployment check. It is without fail gone in one day every week! Ugh when you have the time, you don't have the money and when you have the money, you don't have the time - story of my life!

@inomniaparatus - I feel you on time flying (and I've been unemployed so I feel you there too). Last time I was pregnant, I so want time to fly. This time I'm constantly thinking, "how am I almost a quarter of the way through this?" and wanting time to slow down. Way too much to do before this baby gets here.
And then my mom was so suprised that everything is good with the baby ( had een us, everything fine, good growth and strong heartbeat! )
becaus i started with a very low hcg and it meassured behind
( aparently i just had a late ovulation! )
She is so convinced that i am stil gonna mc ( my last pregnancy ended with an mc )
Omg mom! What the hell!
Where the fuck is the possitive support??!!!
My mom was like this with my first pregnancy. I announced it to her and she wasn't even excited. (She had a few miscarriages and ultimately was unable to have kids. IE: I am adopted.) She wanted to be all cautious and had only negative things to say. I ended up loosing that baby. I know it wasn't her fault for putting those negative vibes out there but when I got pregnant again with DS I said no negative comments, don't even THINK them. I said the same thing this time.
WTF to my mortgage guy for not knowing how to do his job. The house we are trying to get appraised for $2000 less than what we offered. The loan guy was all they will need to drop the price of the house or you will need to make up the difference at closing. This made NO sense to use because after the down payment the loan amount is well under what it was appraised for. So I'm trying to get a hold of him for further explanation. While he was taking his sweet time I'm an emotional mess because we don't have an extra few thousand dollars that we're willing to spare for this. (You have to have some emergency $$ in the bank! Especially with a baby on the way.) and the sellers won't drop the house price. Turns out all that stressing was for nothing. upon further investigation we are putting enough down that it won't affect the loan. SMH
WTF to my new Ob-Gyn office. I called this morning to see if I can go in today instead of tomorrow and they said I could walk in. I had some light brown discharge/spotting last night and this morning. I went after work and they told me I can't be seen and to come back tomorrow. I left so upset and walked out with tears! Now I'm contemplating if I even want to go back tomorrow! Hmph!

When selling our house it got appraised for 5k less than what we had 2 offers at. We had to drop the price and accept what the appraisal was for or not sell the house. So honestly it's good for you. The buyer either needs to accept it, or you have to come up with the extra $2k. The only other real option is to get it reappraised, which costs of course, or not buy the house.
