@babymazei YES!!!!!!!!! Not only could you slam a flip phone shut, you could throw it at the wall in frustration and it wouldn't break! Those were the days
TMI WTF...
3 perks of pregnancy
#1 I get a baby outta the deal
#2 I don't have to suck in for 9+ months
#3 no periods or lady products
So explain to me why I just bought panty liners??? I have had zero discharge thus far and then this week... WTF is happening to me!?!?!?!
I know it's normal and I am not concerned just annoyed. Can a girl get a break?
Ah I know! I actually just talked to my doctor about this earlier today and she mentioned that it might be better to carry a few extra pairs of underwear and change them whenever you feel uncomfortable rather than panty liners which can cause yeast infections! I feel like I already change my underwear so many times a day - I guess I need to buy even more!
WTF, my mom is bitching that my SILs are using email for shower RSVPs. She doesn't think you should send a paper invitation and want an email RSVP back, and that people are going to spell the email address wrong. I want to scream at her "YOU ARE OLD AND DON'T GET IT!!" Email RSVPs are totally normal for showers, imo. Am I wrong?
Email RSVPs are not normal where I live or in my circle. Always a phone number especially since usually I am dealing with an older crowd. Like grandparents of the bride to be or mother to be, aunts, etc. Sometimes a text will come from people our age when I'm hosting but nope I would never have an email as the way to respond either.
If it was me, I wouldn't care how you RSVP. E-mail, call, text, Facebook message, send an owl . . . Just RSVP.
Is there a particular etiquette for this?
I don't know if there is an actual etiquette per se but I think email only is not appropriate when sending an invite in the mail.
Really? After my mom made these comments I did a quick peruse of etsy for shower invitations (I know that's where my SILs got them). Most invites had sample copy, using an email address to RSVP. Personally, if I were in their situation, that's what I would prefer. I do think it's different for a wedding, they should have paper RSVPs. But a shower? No big deal. I get the older person situation, but most older people have counterparts, like daughters, who would come with them to the event and would likely RSVP for them anyway.
@elmann1 I heard that if you continue to take your prenatals after birth you can maybe prevent hair from falling out?! maybe a myth? Worth a try!
wtf appetite?! I was hungry all the time last week and now I'm not hungry at all. make up your mind!!
Also, I hate driving. I really can't stand when people pull out in front of me when there is no one behind me and you clearly could have waiting two seconds! I need a personal driver.

I just think another option besides email would be best. Just because people have family members that could do it for them doesn't mean it's the thing to do. My cousin had this for her baby shower which her SIL's held. Several people talked about it at the shower and how it was wrong and how they had to ask for help in doing it. It obviously made them have enough feelings about it to talk about it. It's fine for some crowds but not all IMO and chances are if your mom is complaining others are too, maybe even to her which is why she said it. I mean it's over and done with and nothing you can do but it's not something I would do without offering at least another option so I can see where your mom is coming from.
Wtf bowl movements. You literally don't come for a few days then make me work so hard to have you I poo and pee at the same time...like I'm in labor. Oh and then after I can't figure out if there's more in there or my poor butt hole is just sore from pushing out a bowling ball sized turd!
Two weeks ago I went in for a routine appointment. I happened to mention to the sweet receptionist that we had signed up for prepay, meaning that the $2,800 out of pocket required will be paid for before I go into labor. I said that it's weird, because I haven't gotten any statements, and haven't made any payments yet. She looked me up and realized they had not billed me at all. She asked if I wanted to pay it all at once and I said sure, whipping out my HSA account card that we set up expressly for this pregnancy. She told me I couldn't use the card for this (it only works for services rendered, and you can't use it to pay for future services, which is what prepay is. Sigh).
She said don't worry about it today, just bring my preferred credit card at my next appointment in 3 weeks (8/4). I said great, planning to move the allotted HSA account money to a credit card for that visit.
Yesterday I got a notice that the office had attempted to deliver certified mail, so today I called them back, and was informed that the mail I'd missed was a letter dismissing me from their practice.
Erm, WHAT??
Apparently I'm delinquent now, and the prepay balance was due by the end of this month. I explained to the billing office what I was told at my last appointment, and billing said, "oh then that's fine, you can just pay then."
I was so upset. I've never gotten a single call or notice, and I was the one who brought it up that I thought this was probably something that should be dealt with soon, and now I'm being dismissed.
They apologized and said of course I would not be dismissed, and to just consider that letter a warning/notice.
I felt weirdly hurt by the whole thing. I may have even teared up on the phone and called them mean. They apologized again, but I still feel pretty crappy that something like that is now in my file. I'm a model of patient compliance, so this felt totally unfair. (
wdf its only WEDNESDAY !!! ...its super super hot and muggy...we go on vacation on sunday and it will take forever for sunday to get here !!!!!!.... I haven't slept well in so many days and yesterday i spend the whole night annoyed at DH for going to a baseball game and the crap of it was I BOUGHT HIM THE TIX!!!!!! so he got home from said game and i picked a fight with him for no reason and he ended up apologizing so now today i feel even worse about it and he keeps texting me telling me he loves me, which is also getting me annoyed because i feel like he did smtn to be apologetic for when he didn't arrggggg.....i blame all this on the heat wave and lack of sleep !!!!
WTF body?? I've been feeling pretty great, aches and pains wise, this pregnancy, until yesterday. I ended up leaving work 3 hours early, and today I'm almost just as sore. My lower back is aching, and it's wrapping around my hips, into my lower abdomen, and down into the tops of the my thighs I think it's mostly from sitting, so I keep getting up to stretch out and walk a little (which is also super painful b/c of all the said sitting), but with an office job, there's not really another option. I'm just hoping that my body will adjust and this pain will let up...I don't know how I'll manage another 11 or so weeks like this.
Wtf doctors office. My appointment was at 3:15. It's now 4:05 and still haven't been seen yet!! This is why I never make appointments toward the end of the day.
EDIT: I ended up being there for an hour and 45 minutes!!! WTF! Get it together, people.
WTF Amazon.com . . . Ok so yesterday l lost my one and only cross stitch needle, so I went on my handy-dandy Amazon app and ordered some more. It was less than $2.00, less than a trip to the craft store, where I'd also have to spend gas and be tempted by the caramels they keep sitting right on the counter. As a bonus, I have Prime, so I knew I'd get my needles tomorrow at the latest.
Well they came today, which has nothing to do with my WTF . . . But . . . Silly me I ordered the wrong needles. I got embroidery needles, which have a sharp point, and I need the ones with a blunt point for cross-stitching.
Well Amazon wants $6.50 for me to ship this little tiny packet of needles back, when I paid less than $2.00 for them (and nothing for shipping). WTF?
WTF self. Buying more maternity clothes isn't going to make you feel better about your body. Go get some exercise instead. And stop eating pizza every freaking night.
Wtf, I hate complaining about my husband but the dear, sweet man is rubbing me wrong today. He's a bartender, works nights on Tuesday & Wednesday, til about 12:30. On Tuesdays he and a coworker go out after work. I've never liked it and I've told him so, but don't say much about it because...pick your battles. Well now I'm pregnant and I can't drink or smoke or stay awake that late unless I have to pee and I just want him to come home after work. I'm scared he's going to keep this shenanigan up when baby's here and that's a big no-go. He doesn't understand what the big deal is and I don't know how to explain it without sounding like a shrew, which is exactly what I sounded like this morning when I made some smart ass comments about it, which in turn made him mad. I hate being a nagging wife but I want my husband to come home and not go out drinking til 3 am. Is that really so much to ask...? Ugh.
We don't have any air conditioning so it's a little warm in Indiana right now. Hubby and I were both home early this afternoon and ran into town together. He bought an expensive pressure washer. I bought a $13 kiddie pool. It's hot pink!! He didn't have it flat in the bed of the truck and it blew out on the road way. It now has a hole in it and leaks water. I filled it up as soon as I got home and then he mowed. Which shot grass into it. I'm highly allergic to cut grass. So I emptied it out and he asked why. Dear sweet man, you don't want me to be cool and have fun do you?
W....T.....F! Had my three hour glucose test and the hospital sent me to three different places. Over the phone they said to go to outpatient services, went there and they said you need to go to women's health where your appts are, get to womens' health and they said you should be OB. Get to OB....no one at desk so I have to use the buzzer and speak through an intercom. She tells me I need to find my doctor....I was like WTF! Then she came out and I was actually where I needed to be but hearing for the third time I was in the wrong spot....I started to cry. I felt sorry for the poor lady having to deal with me! And in future they should said 3 hour glucose test doesn't mean you'll be there for three hours but more like 4 1/2!!! Eating a brownie now while waiting for the results.
WTF to my OBGYN's office.

Wow that is terrible!!! I would be furious! That is some unnecessary stress for a pregnant woman!!
Feet! I bought a new pair of sandals for my friend's wedding and broke them in the next day all over town. Now my feet are bruised and I can barely walk!

@CaitLewis15 I think they are wrong about your HSA by the way. I am prepaying for my deductible on my HSA and have been for the last two months!

Thanks--I'm calling tomorrow to figure out with my insurance what exactly the deal is. DH and I thought the same thing you do, so it blew me away when they told me I couldn't use it. I've been so frustrated with this office from the beginning but I feel like I just need to suck it up at this point. I will, however, be writing the office manager to tell her that it is a terrible policy to inform a pregnant woman in her last trimester that she is dismissed from the practice, without making a single effort to contact her first and make sure she is aware that she has a bill.
WTF to the guy who asked me today how big the baby is. I said about 2 pounds and maybe about the size of a head of cauliflower. His response with a super confused look on his face: "really? Well...what else is in there then?"
WHAT ELSE IS IN THERE??! Wtf do you think? Some hot dogs? An extra pie for me to eat later? Do you think I stash things in there like a freaking kangaroo?! What a stupid thing to say
WTF for multiple things 1. Pregnant Lady with 5 kids in my OB's office who decided it was a great idea to just get up and go into her appointment ALONE and leave the most unbehaved children I've ever seen in the waiting room unattended.
2. Pregnancy cravings. Normally I can stay good and resist sweets and most bad for me food. Lately that's all out the window and I'm feeling bigger and more depressed about it than ever.
3. People on here that obviously have something concerning going on not wanting to see the doctor! Go to the doctor people, wouldn't you rather it be nothing than wait and have something terrible happen?!
I am in some kind of ranty mood today, not cool self!
Wtf to my co-worker who was a complete biotch in our fun event planning meeting today....she kept saying dumb stuff and I wanted to be like no one cares what you did before, your not 8 months pregnant so stfu!!!!!! Oh man that felt good!
Well my Wednesday REALLY sucks. I don't think I have yet to vent here and now I can't help it. 1st day back from a 5 day weekend as I went home to visit and I rear end someone on the way to work. There was a quick stop at a traffic light and people backed up and my fat ass was digging in my bag of Cheerios for the last two and completely hit the person in front of me. Bc I sit high and close to wheel the airbag hit mainly rib and chest area so I am hoping everything is fine. I have a big scrape on hand from airbag. But could have been worse. Luckily I had an appt today anyway at hospital for growth check US so they were able to move my time up so I will be going in 30 mins. Just waiting for my rental car since my whole front of car is jacked up and had to be towed. :-( WTF weds!!! Pray for me!
Oh no! Prayers for you and Lo! Keep us posted!
Had my ultrasound and all is good with us- thanks!!! Baby still measuring small side so will continue to go weekly.
Wtf to: -My own body! I know I did what felt like a lot today with my classroom, but it really wasn't that much. Can my hips, tailbone, pubic bone, neck, lower back stop hurting? Can my legs and feet not be swollen? Ugh. -My nipples. Why are you always hard! It gives my husband the wrong idea. >.> Stay away from me, I'm not in the mood and I'm not cold.
Ok so while eating my hot dog, some lady side-eyed me and then whispered something to her friend, who then proceeded to also side-eye me. I had no choice but to channel my inner Blanche.
I was at Walgreens buying my SO energy drinks for his three doubles in hell's kitchen this week and i had a couple whisper and side eye me. The clerk mention what a good deal it was and i was tempted to ask for a pack of blunts just so that the old turds would drop dead.
I occasionally buy my SO his cigars on my way home and LOL at the stares because I wonder if people actually think they are for me .

I buy my husband beer sometimes, and I'm sure people are staring. Big belly, currently no wedding ring, sometimes a toddler in tow.
Oh I know it's well past Wednesday but I got a good one! WTF cat?!? You know you're not allowed on the kitchen counter. I make a surprise stop at home and find you not just on the counter, but lounging on it!?!?!? And then I catch you eating my plant (the one on the counter). And then you crap IN MY SHOE!?!? And to top it all off, after I leave, you get back up on the counter and vomit in the orange juicer?
She's normally so well behaved. Look at this smug little face:
@anorthro my big fat cat managed to jump into the crib. He then proceeded to knead and claw up the quilt I had made for baby boy. And chew off some of the ties for the bumper panel. Little shit!
@anortho I think you have mentioned something before about your cat being "internet famous". Is that something you can share on here? Every time I see a post about your kitty it makes me curious!

Yeah - she had a little stint of Internet fame a few years ago. I don't want to share too much but I'll happily share some links via private message of anyone is interested

Ohhh I am so sorry, but this made me laugh. She crapped in your shoe and puked in the juicer?! Man, she sounds like she was mad about something! I know our cats get on the table when we aren't home. I see them jump off when we walk up to the door. Little turds, but I have never had a cat crap in my shoe! Damn. That sucks.
ETA: typos and also wanted to add that he looks pretty darn cute relaxing on the counter. Ha ha also, just saw your cat is a she, not a he. Fixed!
@anorthro His smug face is cracking me up! Cats are assholes- mine included. He always lounges on the counter- we have tried EVERYTHING to get him not to, but after 6 years, have caved to the fact that we will just be continually cleaning the counter tops.

We pretty much gave up too, but then she stopped doing it. I thought we were in the clear! Guess not!
I'm wtf'ing another one today. I had the best day yesterday. My sister treated me and my girls to a movie, Inside Out, took us for apps and dessert at Carraba's and then came over and entertained my 4yo for a few hours after. Just perfection. I pick my SO up from work and he decides he wants to discuss money, changing jobs and our impending move but not in a productive way. In a grown man pouting like a little boy way. Took my great day and shit all over it.
