I'm finding it increasingly difficult to filter anything that comes out of my mouth. I'm still not quite used to all the unicorns and rainbows on our BMB, and find myself not commenting on anything at all if I feel like my snark is going to come out.
My two front tires are pancakes. I have to get it towed to the shop (thank goodness for AAA) and cross my fingers they can get it done today/tomorrow morning. I'm a SAHM but I do need to grocery shop, get DD to speech, etc. Plus I just really, really hate not having a car, as we don't live in a walkable area.

Yes! I find myself lurking the TTGP board often because I miss the snark so much. I've seen so many threads that warrant it, but I feel like I can't say anything because they're already full of rainbows & unicorns by the time I see them. I'm glad to know I'm not alone in feeling like I have to hold back on posting. This is definitely not what I'm used to. Support is a wonderful thing, but all the sunshine & rainbows gives me a headache.
I am so tired on my constant heartburn. And, I forgot my Tums today. It makes my food aversions worse... So, I just stick to water until lunch, then will have to find something in the cafeteria that is mellow enough to eat. Sigh.
Same here @mrsschmity There was a post that needed a disclaimer this weekend before opening and it took every ounce of me just to exit the bump. Oh well.
Monday's are becoming more & more difficult & depressing. Weekends need an extra day. I'm home sick today, but I am still not ready to face the rest of the work week after today. That's my bitch for the day. I'm ready for Christmas break.
I work for my in laws, as in it is only me MIL & FIL in the office together every single day All. Day. Long. We finally told them last week that we are expecting and I already wish I could take it back. Every time I put something in my mouth I hear , "oooh is that a craving?", ,or they want to know if I've thrown up yet today. I know they mean well and they are only trying to show interest, but they are seriously wearing me out. The other day my MIL commented that I should be the one to take out the trash in the office because I "need the exercise since I'm going to be fat soon".... Ugh!
I woke up this morning in a state of confusion. Between not being able to sleep well, vivid/crazy dreams, and heart burn, stuffed up nose, and headache, I was all out of sorts today. I couldn't figure out where I was, what day it was, or where I had to be. And my shower zapped any energy I had left. Laying around regretting having to get ready for work and put on a happy helping face.
Good heavens, people, if you want to snark, snark. Don't think it's going to magically start happening later. Instead we'll get months into this and you'll try to start and there'll be a bunch of crying about how the board used to be so welcoming. If I wanted to hang out on Hellobee, that's where I'd be.
I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I almost want to tell my mom she can't come over anymore until it stops. She can't seem to accept that pregnancy just makes me sick, and every time she has to speculate that I must also have the flu or something, because neither she nor her sister was ever sick a day in any of their pregnancies. Right, Mom. I just have happened to have had the flu for extended weeks/months on end and both times coincidentally when I was pregnant. GTFO.
I hate the waiting game to find out whether this baby will go on to live or pass. I feel like I won't even allow myself to call myself pregnant. I refuse to acknowledge any of my symptoms. I just want the next month to be over with.
If I was rich, I would have bought an at home ultrasound machine by now. I feel like I wanna look in there every day just to make sure it's still there. I'm going insane.

When I saw the underwear pic - I couldn't believe nobody had called her out yet!!!! I swear to God that's got to be some sort of record.
Omg. I don't know about you girls, but I could bitch about Everything & Everyone! My DH has three adult children (all early 20's) this will be our first together. Last night I almost strangled him. He starts talking about how he's been around pregnancy before (his ex wife) and saying I need to try and stay active "no matter how bad I feel" Really, you're comparing me to your ex wife who was 20 years younger than I am when she was pregnant. Thanks. You know what, since you seem to Know So Much about being pregnant, why don't you carry this baby!! Arghhh. I really can't wait to have my energy back, and to not feel like crap all day everyday.

DO IT!! There have been a few recently that I was astonished no one had snarky comments on. I almost did but there were too many rainbow comments already and I thought I would be outnumbered. So I just decided to move along...dissatisfied and disappointed. Lol
My bitch is that I hate my DHs new job. He loves it and I'm happy for him and supportive but he has to work every single Saturday. That means only 1 family day a week. It makes me sad and I miss him. I can't wait to have extra days off for upcoming holidays.
There are a LOT of due dates posted on the due date board....where is everyone? I know this time in our pregnancies isn't that exciting, but yeesh - we're full of hormones right now - lets make use of them
@gray51015 my MIL has started asking me for lists of what I was able to eat every day. Uh, no? I'm a grown ass woman, I don't need to keep you updated about my food intake thank you very much. I'll discuss concerns with my doctor instead of you and Dr Google. At least I can just ignore her texts, I feel for you.
@mrsschmity@KOR121@DeePaddy24@CourtJack I miss the TTGP snark too! I say we bring on the snark where it is appropriate (like the underwear pic, I didn't want to be the first one to say something but yeah, found that a bit uncomfortable).
My bitchfest is about the parents who send their children to skating school with green snot pouring from their noses, and coughing all over. Thanks to the fact that you can't keep your kid out of a freezing cold rink while they are clearly sick, this pregnant woman has been dying at home since Thursday. I understand that the kid may want to go, or they feel fine, but just think about the other people you're exposing.
And on top of that, my mom is forcing DH and i to attend a family holiday party in December because we couldn't invite all 30 first cousins (and that's not including their spouses and children!!) to our wedding in September. Half of them I don't care for, as they're rude and never have anything nice to say to me, and then there's the handful who don't like DHs job (he's a federal agent). I told my mom that nobody is allowed to touch my belly (except my 5 year old nephew because he said he would protect his baby cousin lol), and that she better be prepared to hear me go off on someone if they try and start crap about how fast we got pregnant. Ugh.
I've had extreme back pain and cramping since yesterday but no spotting so I wasn't sure what to do. This morning I called my RE since I haven't met with my high risk Doctor yet. There were no nurses available so they transferred me to the Emergency OB. She told me that they never see anyone at 8 weeks and to take some Tylenol. WTF!!?!?? Luckily I was able to get in to see the high risk OB.
My friend is having a bunch of us over for dinner as a farewell before she moves out of town. She's known for making specialty cocktails. There's no way I can miss it without being a shitty friend and there's no way I can hide the fact that I'm not drinking. I'm not ready to tell all the girls that will be there that I'm pregnant. I hate this waiting game. I just want to be able to out and open about being pregnant already! Hiding it blows.
And just go ahead and snark ladies... I had zero problem with the underwear pic personally but was definitely surprised by the lack of attack. I'd prefer being snarky at everything else the world that's bugging the crap out of me right now rather than at each other - but do your thing if that's what you want to do.
@sdLindenberg I'm just waiting for someone to make a comment about "wow, that was quick" when we tell them. Our baby is due 3 weeks after our 1 year wedding anniversary because we didn't expect to be successful our first cycle trying.
@Sgoldberg247 & @sdlindenberg I'm right there with you ladies. Ours is due less than a month after our 1 year anniversary will be, and I dread the comments. Because 1. It's no ones business. 2. Actually, we were not trying thank you very much and are just as shocked as you seem to be, and 3. We have been LIVING together for 7.5 years, so if it had been planned who cares. we are not in the getting to know each other phase of our relationship... we are very well acquainted. Bleh. Nosey Nellies wear me out.

We've been together for over 7 years as well, living together for 4.5 years so we're in the same boat. Just because we got married less than a year ago doesn't put us in the "only known each other for a year or so" boat but I'm sure my extended family will still forget that...
@joose159 I personally would prefer to snark on a person that asks a ridiculous question to Internet strangers, or shows their underwear to Internet strangers, then to people I personally know in my life. But like you said, to each their own.
@Sgoldberg247 we are due 2 months after our 1 year wedding anniversary. We started trying before this too, so it easily could have been 1 year to date. But whatever! Let people judge. We knew what we wanted.
I HATE my job right now....I know partially it's because I am pregnant, feel like crap and am super irritable. But also I have been doing 2 people's jobs for the last 2 months. My co-worker left in September and I have her full caseload as well as mine. We hired a replacement but she doesn't start until the end of December....ugh.
I just dread going to work everyday and feel so overwhelmed with all there is to do. I doesn't help that I haven't told people that I am pregnant so I have no excuse for why I look as bad as I feel. December can't get here fast enough.

@Sgoldberg247 and @gray51015 our due date is 3 months BEFORE our 1 year. Lol. Oopsies I just hate parts of that side of the family. They've never been there unless it was convenient for them.

I won't snark on odd religion stuff just because I have a number of highly religious friends and, while I may not agree with their level of devotion, I can see where it comes from but the 11 week fetus/baby post? Laughed at that one, and there was at least a little bit of appropriate responses.

There's a person on the July BMB who seems to think this board has very high snark...I don't know where she's been reading, but I'd love to be pointed in that direction, lol. She started her post by saying the July board was nicer. Who knew?!
Im more than slightly irritates with dh. Dh is bitching about our income. What makes me mad is I would go back to work in a heartbeat. I'm taking care of his mother with Alzheimer's so quite frankly work is easier.
I think I'm getting the flu... ugh. Ironic part: my OB appointment is tomorrow and I was going to ask them about a flu shot. Stupid immune system. I might just be sick tomorrow and go to only my appointment. That would be ideal. Naps all day!
@sdLindenberg are you a skating coach? I am! I'm thankful for the mittens they wear at least so I'm not touching get my hands, but those little ones can get so close to your face sometimes!
My Monday bitch is just being sleepy all the time! I'm on vacation w/ my hubs at a conference and I can't even enjoy it like I should bc I just want to nap in the hotel!

The one about the promise, my only thought was "I'll pray your ultrasound tech is on the same page as you about this". Accidents happen.
