I figure @Miz_Liz is a little busy, and you know we still need our Monday bitchfests! Cuz what else are end of pregnancy/past due mamas supposed to do? Hehehe.
My Monday bitchfest.... Trying to file for maternity leave.... I hate trying to do this shit when the state didn't do anything to make it easy! It's coming from the money that I worked for! Not what everyone else worked for! Ugh! Doing anything through the state is nothing but bull shit
I am so sick of people showing up at my house to see the baby. I feel like a total bitch but can't we get some privacy? No you can not come by you were just here yesterday and the day before and the day before that!!!!!! I feel like a total bitch, what the hell is wrong with me?
I have two
1) is we finally got my brother in law a job. It's his first job and it's an awesome deal! It's a construction job less than 3 miles from our house (he doesn't drive so that's more convient for us). It's full time (50 hours a week) $12 an hour with full benefits. For his first job ever I can't believe it. All he told me was 'It doesn't sound like I'll have much time to myself'. What the actual hell! Why are you not just happy you got a job!? A job you wouldn't have gotten without my husband or I?!
2) im so tired of other people telling me when it's convient for me to have this baby. Fuck you if I got to pick when this baby would come out it would be good for me NOT YOU! I don't know why everyone thinks this baby is about them...
1: I get to work and my damn flip flop breaks! I have no other shoes, and it's not fixable. So, I taped both of them on my feet (because the other one was close to breaking) and drove over to Target to buy new sandals. The positive out of this is that I got a cute new pair of sandals for $7.50.
2: Three friends and I were all due within a month of each other, me being due first and two to four weeks earlier than the rest. Two of them have had their babies already! I'm 9 days away from my DD - I swear if the third friend has her baby before me, I might lose my shit! *Disclaimer - I'm super happy for them and am so glad that they're all healthy despite coming early. I'm just so ready for my baby to arrive! :-S
I'm so sick of people tell me why THEY would be afraid to have a c section. I don't have a choice! He is complete breech!
When you say " I'd be afraid of going into labor beforehand" or " I would never want to have a c section, it's so hard on you" or "your recovery is going to be really difficult" it makes me want to punch you. I have enough of my own fears regarding my c section, I don't need yours too!
I don't usually do these but today is ridiculous. I have 2.
1) I woke up this morning to an apartment worker in my apartment. He unlocked the door and came in without my permission. If it hadn't been for my dogs I would not have known he was in here. Though I am glad he fixed the garbage disposal but I had a heart attack coming out and seeing a stranger in my apartment.
2) my husband has once again tested positive for mono and my due date is the 26th. So called the docs made sure of what I had to do. No kissing or anything till he's cleared and if I feel ill I have to go to l&d right away. I just hope he gets cleared before little man decides to make his entrance because if not he can't be near the baby and I don't want to do this without my anchor.
I'm two days overdue, so my doctor scheduled me an induction. I'm totally fine with that, however, the date is what's getting me. Friday afternoon is the only time they could get me in, which if I don't go into labor before then, it's very likely I'll be having my baby Saturday. DD would wind up sharing her birthday with FOUR other family members, including my dad. I don't want that!!! I'll never hear the end of it every freaking year, and I'm really wanting her to have her own birthday. Common baby! %-( [-O<

My recovery hasn't been hard at all.. Don't listen to them. It's not bad at all. I haven't been in pain at all from mine. Just a little sore and a week later I feel like I could run a marathon.
I have a laundry list but I'll spare everyone! 1) get off my ass about BF. Yes, I want to do it but I cannot help that my LO had a mind of her own and will only do it when she wants to! Do you really think I enjoy setting alarms every two hours around the clock to pump enough for her to have?! NO. It's annoying, and I want sleep. 2) sleep? What is sleep? 3) The pediatrician's office being 1.5 hours behind and not calling me prior to our appointment. It's pretty difficult (especially after an entire night of no sleep) getting a 5 week old out of the house super early anyway, then we get there and sit for 45 minutes until you come out and say it's going to be 20-30 minutes since they are behind. I ask REALISTICALLY, how long will it be? Then they say an hour..... So why not tell me in the first place instead of sugar coating it?! So I rescheduled vs. waiting two hours after our original appointment time! X(
@hrfawcett I agree with @kelseyrayay. I was off narcotic pain killers and only on Tylenol and Motrin after 2 days with my last CS. I'm headed toward a repeat CS for a breech baby (turn baby turn!) and I will punch someone if they say that to me. I'm already emotional about my stubborn stuck baby, I don't need anyone to add any baggage. I hope everything goes well for you too!
Hubby failed to the max on securing childcare for my step daughter for the last 3 weeks of the summer. Summer camp stops short 3 weeks of the first day of school. I asked him in June to line up his retired parents for this week, and of course he did not. Instead he called them 2 weeks ago and was told they already agreed to watch his step mom's grandkids for the week. This happens EVERY time we ask them because he fails to plan. So we're stuck scrambling. We got her Mom's step father to take her 1 day and considers himself a hero for lining that up 2 DAYS AGO. there are 4 days left of the week, and we're still going to be scrambling next week if i don't go into labor, which is pretty likely since i'm not due till the 29th and and have not progressed. I told him to ask his parents if they'll be available next week and he is just assuming I'll have the baby by then and we'll be fine. I married an idiot. Fortunately i have a 17 year old son who CAN help, but hubby is complaining about that because he thinks she'll be bored and that he's too lazy to do a good job. Beggars can't be choosy! I could call his parents, but seriously he can take care of his own crap right???????? I'm tired of being the responsible one!
My alcoholic, suicidal mother went missing yesterday so I was up all night worried about her and crying, turns out she went to a hotel because she was stressed out about her husband finding out about her boyfriend. I lost sleep over her selfish slutty ass and I'm pissed. Had an appt this morning and am 3cm 80% -1 station which means nothing except that I am, in fact, still pregnant. Now I'm all crampy from being checked and DD has chosen the last few days to become in uncharacteristically whiny and clingy. Fvck this day entirely.
Wishing baby girl would come before Thursday. I'm actually due Thursday but I'm so tired of people asking how I am and is she coming soon! My mom is on vacation this week too so that would be nice. I feel like because I wanted her so bad she's really making me wait it out!
I've been wearing compression socks to help with feet, ankle, and calf swelling. However, the last few days it seems like elephant feet are here to stay!
@carleyec93 I'd be feeling really petty in your shoes. After all that leg bicycling, food restrictions, and nursing, she should give you some mommy love smiles! I'm sure she adores you though :x She's just making sure her first smile for you is extra special
Well I am probably the most pregnant woman in August at 41+4. I think my child is scared to come out. I've given up on trying. Oh well. My SO and I have been joking she's going to be walking and talking by the time she comes out.
Shout out to my DH and co-workers!! I knew today's doctors visit would be a routine one but after hearing everyone's input all morning long I couldn't help but get excited. After everything went exactly like I knew it would and the doctor let us know he wanted to wait another week to schedule an induction, my wonderful husband had the nerve to tell me he is so tired of me being pregnant......seriously........you are the tired one....
It's hot, and the a/c in the house is broken so we're using a swamp cooler....yah not a happy camper considering it's borderline 80 degrees inside, and even though it's 100+outside it doesn't matter, I like it cold dammit! And I'm over being pregnant, I'm scheduled for a csection next Wednesday and time is dragging. I'm terrified (even though it's my third) but I'm ready to meet little girl and yah....hormones are running on high.
Had a Dr's appointment this morning and scheduled my induction for the 27th. I sent a text to each of my family members to let them know. My MIL comes back with "She needs to come now", I know she says this because they asked off work for this week, as my EDD is tomorrow %-( sorry I'm not forcing her out if shes not ready, just to be convenient for you.
I totally snapped at my girls. It's naptime, so big surprise that they don't want to nap. I feel like the world's worst mom right now.
Don't worry, apparently I have out done everyone for the title of 'world's worst mom' today. I overheard my 5 year old talking to himself, saying that he wants a new mom. I am tired of constantly repeating myself today! He doesn't want to listen to anything I have to say and is refusing to clean up any of his messes for over a week now! ~X( DH and I told him that he has until DH gets home or garbage sacks will take all his messes away and he will not have them anymore. (in reality, some of them will go into the shed for a later date - he has some cool stuff)
Joey 06.05.2010, MC Jan 2014-EDD 09.11.2014, Aurelia 08.24.2015 (lost twin ~12 weeks), Ectopic Loss Feb 2016, EDD 01.03.2018
Also, yesterday I was getting in to bed (I usually just sleep in panties) and I take off my dress. DH says, "Remember the days when you used to take your tits out and I would be like drooling not able to look away?" "I'm just like gee, thanks babe." He's like, "I didn't mean it like that, they're milk machines now." So, as if I didn't feel unattractive enough with this weight gain, huge belly and new found stretch marks, I thought at least I have my big boobs going for me. But nope, they're just milk bags now. Couldn't be feeling more unattractive! I can tell he feels bad now because he's spent all day trying to give me kisses and calling me sexy, beautiful and what not, but I don't want any of it when I know he's just doing it because he now feels obligated, you know? Doesn't help with the hormones, either lol
Running on no sleep, I get out of bed this morning to find the water is not working; so the kids had to use bottled water to brush their teeth before school and of course it was a huge deal that everyone had a problem with..
@mimigrace12 it's like the opposite with me and my DH lol. There's days he won't keep his hands to himself or keeps trying to kiss and squeeze my sensitive breasts and I'm like stop touching me!!! He won't of course. Men.
husband has been back at work.....which means I'm bored out of my mind with a two week old. she's fairly easy and will sleep in at least three hour stretches so I feel my mind is numb.
Ever since my doctor scheduled my induction I've been having some serious anxiety. I wasn't induced with my first (went over EDD) and I'm usually pretty anti induction. However, seeing how my blood pressure kind of went crazy at the end here shocked me. Now...I'm obsessively researching induction stories (I know I shouldn't be doing this) and hoping mine is fairly easier because Ive progressed pretty well by myself already (3cm 80% effaced as of Friday).
@California_Dreaming I pretty much got induced without my knowledge, despite having contractions super close together and super painful! They gave me a foley and gave me pitocin when I was already 8cm. No biggie, you'll be fine!
I was due on the 15th and they scheduled my induction for 8-27. My cervix was pushed so far back she couldn't check it, much less do a sweep. My body is such a jerk. At least I have an end date in sight.... I'm just really bummed out.
@CaliforniaDream87 you'll do great! Have they discussed how you'll be induced? If your cervix is already that favorable perhaps they can do a "light" induction where they skip cytotec or start with breaking your water before starting a light pit drip. Just a thought!
And, yes, I just called your cervix favorable... Don't tell your DH! :>
Lol!!
According to my doctor, because my cervix is *favorable* they plan to just break my water and administer pit. Seems easy enough I just hope it goes smoothly. It's the unknown I guess. Thanks for the words of encouragement and I promise I won't tell my H

That's the worst feeling. I'm right there with you. DH used to not be able to keep his hands off me and the last 2 months he hardly touches me. He said it's the heat wave and my body gives off tons of heat too but it certainly makes me feel unattractive.
My DH finally got DD to fall asleep in her bassinet (that she hates)....we put out our Do Not Disturb sign and then there is a knock. Apparently DD is ready to blow this joint and she managed to kick off her baby lojack setting off the alarm. She is so going to be trouble this one, not even 48 hours old and already sneaking out, so help me!
NPR but, my DS1s bio dad is notorious for not paying his child support and also for posting everything about his life on facebook. So today, the douche canoe posts pictures of his new car he bought today! WTF man?! You haven't paid child support in months, but yet you can afford a new car?!
