Intolerant

Almost 39 weeks.... It is normal to be so intolerant to everyone and everything? Or there is something wrong with me?

    I'm at 36 weeks too. I'm so sick of people asking about the pregnancy that by the time I got to my doc apt today I didn't even want to talk to her about it! Normally that's the place I'm like 'ok let's talk pregnancy!'

    I dread the workday because of the pregnancy discussion all day long....the other day I counted at least 5 unwanted discussions *sigh* I want to be done with work just so I don't have to hear the comments. I know people are doing it out of kindness, but it is still hard to respond to all the time.

    Plus I've felt increasingly more tired. Occasionally taking naps after work and having a hard time waking up early for work.

    Boo.

    Yes.  This is part of the whole "nesting" thing for me.  I want you out of my space and out of my face because mama bear only cares about getting the den ready for the cub right now, not answering your crazy questions.

    @tracyyoung819 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way. I feel guilty when I dread talking to people about my impending motherhood, but honestly, I just don't like lying through my teeth about how awesome I feel (cuz trust me, the conversations are worse when I'm honest about all my little aches and pains). My job is so customer service based that I can't just tell people to leave me alone haha. Only 12 days left of work for me!

    I don't socialize anymore so for me I only have to deal with people at work/during my bus commute/when I go to the grocery store. Luckily boyfriend hasn't started to piss me off yet :)

    I was so irritable yesterday afternoon. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or cuss.

    I'm still working and everyday it's, "You're still here?" and "You haven't had that baby yet?". Yes I am still here because I haven't had this baby and I don't want to waste my days off since I have to use up all my sick days. I know they mean well and are just asking but it still drives me crazy.

    Somebody also keeps putting the paper in wrong in our copier, making it come out sideways. It made me so angry yesterday and I was like, "Wow. It is just the copier."

    I'm not allowed near children at the moment because I've gotten clumsy, and if I drop or knock anything onto the floor a *torrent* of profanity comes out. DH follows me around picking things up to head off the tantrums :\">

    Girl I've been fighting the urge to punch people in the face all week.

    I just told my SO that I finally found a dresser I really love and at a good price (to this day I'll never understand why a dresser cost more than a crib but I'll save that rant for another post). He responds with: why do you need a dresser? He already has a closet.

    I had to take a deep breath and walk away.

    Or my one friend who kept insisting over txt that my contractions were being caused by dehydration. This after telling her 5 times that my doctor didn't think so and I drink almost a gallon of water per day.

    Whatever...rolling my eyes at everything and everyone! Lol

    Lol I feel you. Waitressing at work right now is the worst thing I could be doing. I have had to go to the back as I have almost told people to stfu. Then came home from work and and told my kids to go to the park as I needed some serious alone time to just sit and stare at the wall. Which I did. Dreading school supply shopping and getting all that stuff done in the next week as it means I need to be around a lot of people and I wish I could say you are guys aren't going to school this year we are just going to hang out at home :)

    @callistosmile omg I know. What's worse is the hubby thinks (or used to) that I can trell people to stop or I don't want to talk about it. I told him to be pregnant and tell me how that plan goes.

    He saw it first hand at the doctor's office. First the receptionist asked about the pregnancy, then the new nurse for my doctor. Granted he's new and sees a lot of people, but he asked the same questions he did last week. At that point I kept my answers short. It was awkward, but yesterday I just wanted to get the damn appointment done.

    I'm an introvert and think my ability to successfully/normally socialize is filled and I need to get some energy reserves. I look forward to Saturday when my husband's at work so I can replenish. Father in law is supposed to be up to finish painting the nursery (he's a painter) and I hope he doesn't mind that I am not super sociable.

    I am sick to death of the questions. But then if I don't hear from people I get ticked off!!! I want to clean but I don't have the energy because I don't sleep at night anymore!! It sucks.

    Copy/pasted from a recent convo. I thought I'd lose it.

    sister - how are YOOOU
    Me- I'm good getting really uncomfortable though... and everything makes me exhausted
    Sister - maybe lay off the gluten?
    Me - Def not the gluten. I think it might have something to do with the sex I had nine months ago...

    Lol this exactly. Both my mom and father in law were alarmed when I wasn't feeling well and questioned why. How about because I'm 9 months pregnant, very uncomfortable with swollen ankles, and my pubic bones feel like the jaws of life are stretching them out. Not to mention all the stress I have to try to get everything done before baby is here, the stress/anxiety of delivery and caring for a baby.

    I'm on this crazy train too. I think that everyone's response to what I say or ask for is as if "Iya speaka no Inglish". I'm aware that I'm probably a bit sensitive and overreact a bit but I don't feel like I'm a total irrational psycho. I almost feel like I'm in some sort of hybrid momma bear transition and no one is worthy of my sacred bubble of knowledge and intuition. Nothing anyone says is right and I feel sorry for how utterly stupid they are I have no compassion for anyone's blatant incompetence. I just want to melt into a puddle and have no brain for while. Every is so exhausting.

    My mom asked me this morning, "Are you grouchy this morning?" My reply, "I am 37 weeks pregnant, fat, in pain, and waking up every hour through out the night. What do you think?!" [-(

    Right there with you. I hate everyone and everything right now, the littlest things irritate the crap out of me. My sister is pregnant too, due in Jan, so she wants to compare every little symptom or ask "Is this normal?".... and I want to punch her, if she didn't live in another state I might lol. I don't care how much weight you've gained and if you ask me one more time how much I've gained I will crawl through the phone and strangle you!!! My solution.. avoid everyone except my poor DH, I feel bad but I do much better reigning in the crazy with him, plus he knew I was crazy when he married me so really it's his own fault.
