Monday Moans

Tell us all about it! I keep seeing 'I need to vent' posts today. Why don't we have a Monday Moan thread yet? Is it because it's a holiday?!
Re: Monday Moans
My moan is my hand and shoulder still hurt from my fall. If I overdo it, I have to wear my brace.
Second moan, my friend whom is also DH'S cousin blew off our plans for.. I don't know... the 5th time at least in a row. She was supposed to come help me get things done so many times, so today we agreed to have ice cream and veg out and catch up. But she yet again couldn't come through. Not to mention she is one of my closest friends also completely missed my baby shower because she thought it started at 6pm, on a sunday, when the invitation said 12pm... I love her but since she started this new relationship she's been so unaccountable. I'm so sick of getting blown off. I do understand she is young and has a right to enjoy her life but to continually break plans is just not right.
Plus side, didn't have to get dressed today. And actually being alone made me much more productive.
I just made peanut butter rice Krispy treats, however.. when I put the melted mixture in my steel mixing bowl with the cereal, I accidentally touched the bowl to my belly. Now I have a huge burn on top my bump.
Also - hubs was suppose to get me sunny d after his night shift this morning and he forgot... Didn't forget his beer and margarita stuff though..
Just an all around, in general Waaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
I kept my nephew overnight for my sister. My wife had to work today so it was just Braden and I allll day. He woke up two hours earlier than he normally does. Refused to take a nap. Kicked me in the nose when I was changing him. Headbutt me when I picked him up and busted my lip. Broke the baby gate... And just cried like all day. Nothing I did made it better.
When I dropped him off with my sister I just broke down. I think I need a nap.
Thankfully that passed, and I've used the rest of today to clean and organize off and on. Cleaned out my office of the extra furniture and boxes I've needed to go through since we moved in a year ago. The room is ready for my mom to come next month!
Down side- I'm still exhausted and my to do list is growing instead of shrinking...
I have GD so pumping in insulin combined with the finger test 7 times a day, I'm on crutches for the last week because my pelvic bones have literally split, I wake every 40 mins for the bathroom in the middle of the night, It takes me 6 mins per batheoom because of the crutches. I've had to take mat leave early and unplanned because of the above and to top it off I have no kitchen and won't have for another 2 weeks minimum. the house renovations are 3 weeks behind and looks like the baby is coming out 2 weeks early.
We're still getting settled in our new house and I know it's hard on him. I just wish he would eat, and cooperate, and use his potty or at least let me change his diaper without a fight. My body can't take the up and down and toddler wrestling!
I think they sense the upheaval of having a new baby come into the house and they're anxious about the change, but can't articulate it. They can sense that we're stressed, but also excited, and I'm sure they feel some stress too.
The physical toll dealing with a toddler takes on our pregnant bodies is real. And I don't imagine the first few weeks postpartum will be much easier, but it'll be over soon, and our kiddos will have new playmates to grow up with.
I'm reaching a breaking point. I am normally not a complainer at all, but I feel like I can't do this anymore. My whole body hurts. Just moving around and doing mundane tasks hurts. I'm out of breath. My feet are swollen and killing me. I have this constant nauseous feeling. It feels like the baby is literally pinching my urethra. Getting ready and coming to work this morning was brutal. And now I'm to the point where I just want to cry at everything. I cried in the elevator to my office this morning. I almost cried at a meeting just now because my boss told me to change something. This is not me at all! It feels like my body is being taken over by aliens!
Women who are doing this with a child/children already – god bless you. No idea how you do it.
I hear you mama! Whoever said this pregnancy lark was easy was clearly on drugs.
It's a tough ride your body isn't your own, everything is just harder like walking through sand. Don't put any pressure on yourself cry when you need to probably your bodies way of releasing stress, be extra kind to yourself and take breaks when you can.
I have given up being super woman - quite frankly if I can get in the shower and dress myself then I'm happy with that progress!! :-)
