  • One of the ladies I work with is morbidly obese. I mean that in the medical sense, not just me being mean. So she's notorious for saying insensitive things to the pregnant women we work with through the years, so I knew my turn was coming. I got it yesterday. She asked when I was due, I told her 25 days. She feigned surprise and said, "oh really, you look ready to burst now." I just nodded and walked away. It still stung even though I knew it would come at some point. And my pants were tight yesterday so I was already feeling a little low. Boo!!
  • After SO left for work today I laid back down to get another hour of rest and got what I'm guessing we're round ligament pains of my right side. Consistent sharp pain like a side stitch but gah it hurt. It went away like five minutes later but took me probably thirty minutes to fall asleep. Once I finally got to sleep well again the alarm went off to get the kids ready for school. Boo :-(
  • My dogs woke me up at 1am to go out, I woke up with a headache that didn't go away. Ugh and I'm doing a 24 hr urine today. Woohoo! It's an awesome day so far. Lol
  • I hate my job. I want maternity leave to hurry up and get here. I'm collecting my 6 weeks of short term disability and then putting in my two weeks notice.

    I'm in a weird limbo period (37w5d), where I'm so easily exhausted and in pain (carpal tunnel), that I'm being very unproductive. However, it's driving me insane, bc I am a very 'get sh*t done' type of person. Can't stand it!! There's so many things I'd like to work on, but my hands hurt just thinking about it :(
    i hear you. 37w4d here (so tired i actually forgot what day it was!).  i have had a lot of pain in my knuckles/hands as well. luckily for me it hasn't been so bad i can't fight through it, but the tiredness is really preventing me from getting crap done!! i just finished making 2 casseroles of chicken spaghetti in the freezer and left the kitchen a mess because i need to put my feet up... gotta get back in there in a few but i am so exhausted. blah.
  • My back went out last night. Couple that with Braxton hicks and it makes for a rough night. Thankfully is eased up a bit. But seriously.

    I honestly don't know how ladies who have been on extended bedrest keep their sanity. I'm on day TWO and I'm about to freak the f*ck out. I'm home and have projects staring me in the face that I cannot do. I still don't understand why they couldn't just go ahead and deliver me (37w2d) instead of putting me on bedrest for ONE week. At least if I had my cs I'd have a baby to occupy my time.
  • I recently found out that due to insurance issues, I can't deliver at the only hospital within 30 minutes of me...so now I have to switch doctors, and deliver at a hospital, an hour from me (without San Diego traffic).

    I don't want to find a new doctor, and I don't want to deal with this. I'm irritated. I like my doctor.

  • Lmao!,Twatwaffle is one of my favorite names to call people I dislike.

    Anyway compared to my day yesterday today hasn't been too bad at all. I felt super sick this morning but I drank some ice water and I'm feeling much better. After today I have 3 days left of work. So I can finally get some rest and get my house in order. I'm a clean freak by nature so add the nesting instinct to that and I've become borderline Monk OCD. I'm 16 days away from my due date and I'm so anxious and excited to meet our little girl! Here's to hoping the next 2 weeks fly by!
  • Our neighbor behind us tore the siding off his house last fall. He's had a tarp up since last winter. I'm on the couch with a headache and today is the day they chosen to use power tools to fix their house. I'm glad they are finally fixing it but the power saw needs to go the heck away
  • I had my HR meeting about maternity leave today and everything is squared away including my new schedule after I come back since I requested to work from home 3 days a week. I kept getting told that I'm a great worker and I consistently meet expectations and good for me and that permission for this was a no brainer and if I need something or to leave work to work from home half a day that's fine and all these wonderful things and I just felt like SUCH a jerk because my work has become worse the last couple months and I feel so unproductive and am not getting done everything that needs to be and it pretty much makes me feel like a load of undeserving, guilty crap.
  • Just found out that if Illinois can't agree on a budget soon we might have to pay for everything up front and might be reimbursed after they pass a budget. Let's hope they pass a budget before baby gets here. I wasn't planning on paying thousands. I love my husband working for the state.
  • DH and I would say to all of this stuff....twatever!

  • Yeah. I have to just walk away when people ask me wuestions, and refrain from letting my middle finger respond. Filter is officially GONE.
  • My pants. Ok, so they are yoga pants. I've been able to make it this far without having to go out and buy actual maternity pants but now with 4 weeks left I may have to. My yoga pants fall under my belly with every step I take and I am constantly pulling them up.

    Oh jeez!!  I hope they can figure it out!  We had DD during the government shutdown in 2013 on base in Germany.  That was a treat.... Sometimes workin' for The Man bites you in the butt :/

  • I have a horrible cold at 36w4d and haven't been able to sleep because I feel so uncomfortable, cant breathe, have to pee, have to roll over (a LONG process), the puppy wakes me up, husband snoring wakes me up, Braxton hicks wakes me up, and my horrible back pain sucks. On top of that, people at work just complained about how tired they are because they only got about 6 hours of sleep last night.  People... are you NUTS?!  If I could get 6 hours of sleep a night I would be golden.

  • I"m getting SO ANNOYED right now with these stupid pinterest  sites. I just want to look at some stupid freezer meals...but every darn blog I click on has soooooooo many  advertisements that it takes FOREVER and makes my computer freeze. AHHHH. 

    and I'm just intimidated by the whole freezer meal thing in general. Trying to finally sit down and tackle top few reciepes and my computer isn't letting me. 
  • Twatwaffles... This honestly made me LOL!

    Twatwaffles I only have 25 days or less until this baby girl comes and I feel so unprepared! I have everything ready, but I am just anxious about being a FTM! Sometimes I wonder if I am cut out to be a mom, but I feel like it is just something I will grow into.
  • One of my co-workers, who was to handle part of my portfolio while I'm out on mat leave, put in her notice today. She and her husband apparently just started TTGP, and she's quitting in anticipation of being a SAHM and she "doesn't want to work forever." It's the worst timing, major twatwaffle move. I'm going to be out for 12 weeks pretty soon, year end is coming up (accountant), and we just got a bunch of new business that we're still trying to get straightened out. She agreed to stay on PT and work on a teensy portfolio from home, but that's the best we could get. Hiring a newb right now is just going to be the suck. Not cool, lady.
  • Done with weird pregnancy dreams! Two nights ago, I was a surrogate mom for a chicken and last night I dreamed i made out with a guy I dated in high school. The ex dreams get me the most because I wake up next to DH feeling terrible that I was making out with other guys in my dreams!! Not cool.

  • One of the girls I work with... How do I say this? Umm I hate her. She's one of those girls the plays dumb just for attention and I am the last person to pull that BS with. She comes in huffing and puffing like the job is so demanding when it's not. Turns the air off knowing damn well I'm hot. Purposely let's the office phone ring until I answer it. Oh I can go on forever with this however the part that bugs me the most is she is trying to "live" through my pregnancy but comparing it to hers. Look I'm sorry I'm 36 weeks and don't have any swelling or didn't blow up like a whale girlie. I'm sorry but not all pregnant women are created equal. A little over two weeks and I won't have to see or hear from her until December. Can't wait for that.

    My husband keeps turning the AC back on after I turn it off because I don't want another giant electric bill next month. We have a fan, why not use that?

    I have a feeling we're going to be fighting over the AC for a while yet.

  • @leah665 I totally feel you... Didn't know if it's still hormones but I have been getting treated so poorly at work and have been taking it pretty hard. It doesn't help that I am so empty minded and spacey so it makes the behavior even worst when I forgot things. I feel like the big pregnant odd ball and am just counting down the days until my leave. After being treated so bad, especially while pregnant I hope to not have to return to the horrible memories...

    This thread makes my soul happy!
    As for this Tuesday...

    I couldn't sleep last night which turned into binge watching of the show Mistresses, followed by a movie. I crawled into bed at about 4:45 a.m to be woken up 15 minutes later by DH's alarm. Which he set to play a video game, before work! #-o

    I tossed and turned until about 8:15 waking up in a panic. Thinking We were going to miss an appointment scheduled for 9. Which of course led to an argument (it was "too early for me to be so snappy") and me threatening to throw our play station into the sprinklers on our front lawn.

    I came home did some laundry, picked up a bit, tried to read and nap before a breastfeeding class that I scheduled back in June. I drove 25 minutes, had to get on a scale, chat with some lady about nutrition and wait another 25 minutes just to be told the class was not today and that it was on Thursday. A day that I of course have to work and cannot reschedule. :-w

    I have 6 and a half weeks left but I am already on the bandwagon of being annoyed in general to have daily conversations. Meditation and yoga is seriously a blessing at this point.

    ETA: I am truly enjoying the rolls, kicks, punches, and hiccups I've been waiting so enviously long to feel. Due to my anterior placenta, it really did seem to take awhile. I just really wish baby girl didn't enjoy snuggling up in my rib cage so often! The comical part about it is how people panic when I react to her cuddle sessions. I guess my facial expression isn't too flattering and scares people.

    Im sorry but the bit about your husband is hilarious. LOL I wouldn't put it past my own husband except he really likes sleeping in lol
  • @cmjn94 This man usually hits the snooze button 15 times a morning. His dedication to this particular game is quite comical! He's like a kid on Christmas morning. I deal because it brings him such joy. And, maybe because he swears up and down he won't be "gaming" the closer I get to my E.D.D.
