  • Our builders decided not to show up this weekend......I just want my house finished. I also had a pregnant hormonal lady rant on their answer machine. d'oh.

  • I'm just so upset with my body. I understand why my immune system has to do a half assed job when I'm pregnant. Of course I don't want my body attacking my little blueberry. But this shit is getting old. 

    A couple of days ago I developed a weird looking rash on my shoulder and had so many people look at it and kept getting different answers about what it is. Last night it started developing blisters and I had an infectious disease doctor look at it. I hold this doctor in the highest regard so when he finally gave me a diagnosis I listened. I have shingles :(  I considered this a worst possible scenario but it turns out it's not super terrible for the pregnancy (like chicken pox is). And as long as it doesn't spread, I don't need to take the antivirals, which I was worried about taking during the 1st trimester. I called the OB on call and he agreed with just waiting to treat it and hope it doesn't spread (disseminate). 

    I just want to be mad at someone but I can only be mad at myself for my immune system going to sleep and letting the virus rear it's ugly head. I thought maybe I caught it from a patient but I just basically caught it from myself.


    GRRRR!!!

  • I planned on having the most productive Saturday. However after the gym and the grocery store I had a rough time with MS and slept the day away. This will now lead to a whole Sunday of grading papers and prepping for the week
  • @KASG - That is terrible. Pickles are the most important part of a burger!

  • @sboston06 That sounds horrible!!! Every time my side itches I worry I'm getting shingles. I'm so sorry you're dealing with it. Fx it doesn't spread!
  • Hubs got us Sonic while I grocery shopped. I thought we were going to Mexican after...
    I told him my usual burger (add mayo, no onions) but to also add bacon. It took him longer than he thought it would at sonic, which was fine because I went grocery shopping last minute without a list(danger!). The ticket said the correct thing. I took a bite out of it and ALL I could taste was onions...which led to spitting them out..which led to coughing..which led to dry heaving.
    Come on, Sonic! Get your ish together!!

    I agree @mnkenned! Wtf is this acne?! I didn't have this last time around!

  • The maids didn't show up :( Now the house will have to be dirty until next week. Ughhhhhh might be firing these maids and looking for new ones #firstworldproblems
  • TMI Warning!

    Where did all of this gas come from?! I'm thankfully regular, and I've barely been eating anything besides saltines and melon for the last few days, so I can't think of what is triggering this. It's annoying, but my husband is a permanent twelve year old who thinks farts are hilarious, so at least he's entertained.
  • @Nerdchild I also have the gas...I am usually regular as well and now it's just all gas, I blame the prenatals!

    @TattoosandLace I also have the acne. Currently one on the side of my nose that is literally so swollen it is causing breathing problems.

    My hubby thinks this is all very entertaining...

    @sboston06 I mean, idk anything about shingles, but at least it's contained. You could be like me and break out in hives for no good reason other than "it's cold and you took a hot shower" or "your immune system is TOO strong/busy"

    Also, I can't seem to type "for" but keep writing "gor" instead...

  • DH and I had big plans today to finish Christmas shopping and get a bunch of stuff done but DS2 came down with a stomach bug and has had awful diarrhea all day. So DH and I were going to take turns going out so we could both do some stuff but DH was gone ALL DAY. When he finally came home at dinner time, he informed me he had already eaten so he didn't need any of the dinner I cooked. DS wouldn't eat either because he's not well (poor little guy is pretty sick :-(, hope I don't catch it!) so I made a whole roasted chicken/veggies/salad dinner that I don't care to eat for no reason. Plus now I'm too tired to go out and do what I wanted to at the stores that are still open and now all I feel is straight hormonal rage! Ugh!
  • Omg I CLEARLY need to stop eating fast food. DH and I stopped by Arby's and I asked for the salad WITH TURKEY! What did I get? Salad WITH CHICKEN!!!!!!!!!

    I. Am. Livid!

    ...But I'm still gonna eat it.

  • All day morning sickness ...need I say more. Nothing helps not even zolfran. I only got out of bed for a few hours to spend with my family. A tooth chipped 2 weeks ago and my gums are sore so even when I can stomach eating it freaking hurts hot/cold sensitivity. My chronic back pain flared today. Everything made me want to cry. I just want to be loving and affectionate to my husband but Im always frustrated about the stupidest things and I feel like the words coming from my mouth arent mine. Ugh
  • Today I treated myself to McDonald's breakfast. I had my orange juice, hash brown and sausage Mcmuffin. It was glorious. Until I got in my car and threw up. I ended up needed to stop again and throw up on the side of the road. Wonderful start to my day :/

    How is it possible to be so hungry and so nauseated at the same time?! I usually feel ok when I wake up, so I try to eat something right away because it's usually the only meal I get in. Today, I took the dogs out before going to get food and now I can barely look at it :(

    Also, where did this acne come from?! I'm pretty sure I was promised beautiful, radiant pregnancy skin. This is crap.

    Ummm. How do we have the same aviatar? Do we own the same cat? Is this real life?

    ETA- it seems there was a glitch and it was showing my pic on your post.
  • I am having horrid upper back pain. The only possible culprit I can imagine is that I pulled a muscle dry heaving. Since that happened, I can't lay on my left side or my back. Forget sleeping in the bed. Every time I move I feel my shoulder spam. Mix that with the peeing and the nausea and I'm getting 0 sleep. I hadn't prepped myself for couch sleeping this early but it's the only way I Can get more than 30 mins of uninterrupted sleep.

  • Saturday morning at 5am, I woke up with a horrible stomach bug. I lost 3 lbs in one day. That on top of pregnancy is just not cool. I'm a teacher and it has been going around my school like wildfire. Yay for a fun weekend...
  • @Nerdchild I am right there with you! But I have to add that the smell smells like death...each and every time. I truly do not understand. I use to be able to fart at my desk at work and get anyway with it but I no longer can because that smell lingers and smells horrible.
    I heard that pregnancy farts are bad but I didn't think that they were this bad.

    I woke up an angry hormonal beast. That's not happened at all before and I wish it would go away. My husband went to lunch with a friend and then they are coming back to the house. I didn't know they had these plans and now I feel like I need to clean, even though I have no energy. Realistically I just need to put away the pile of laundry and do a sink-load of dishes (yay no dishwasher) but I have no energy at all. I also don't want to put real pants on.

    I wanted pizza rolls really bad and I finally made some and they taste weird and gross! I asked DH to eat one and he said they are fine. Ugh come on little bean, stop making things taste weird when I want to eat them!

  • I need to bitch about my brother and his family for a hot second. My brother is younger than I am by six years, and has a girlfriend of four years and a son that is going to be two in March.

    Every Sunday my mom invites everyone over for Sunday dinner, which is the highlight of her week because Maddox, my nephew, is the apple of her eye.

    And every week Amber, my almost sister in law, comes home from work on Sunday at like 3pm, and Maddox isnt dressed, my brother has ordered pizza, blah blah blah. He is so damn lazy!

    So today its 3pm and Amber wants to take my brother Christmas shopping and leave Maddox with us (my mom lives with us) and go shopping, so mom asked them to come over earlier than the normal six, so they could eat and then go shopping. But nooooo.

    So my moms going to have dinner done and my brother can't get himself and his child fucking ready and I'm hungry now!

    This rant probably doesn't make much sense but basically my brother can not be counted on for a single fucking thing.
  • I don't want to Nurse today but they keep adding patients. I am tired and cracky. Why can't they pay me to nap?
    Thank God for Raid.

  • I'm having lower back pain. I know my hips are uneven (a physical therapist and chiro both have told me) and hasn't bothered me in a long time. I had a very busy day yesterday with my daughter's birthday party, and I would have loved to stay in bed longer today, but just laying in bed made my back hurt. Need a chiro appointment very soon....
  • Well my dogs breath was really stinky today and he wanted to love me and I yelled at him...I'm a hormonal monster.

    Also I have been searching high and low for an advent calendar and I finally called a store that had them but they only had a few left. I rushed my husband out the door and when we got to the store there were two left and I cried. Right there in the middle of the store. I know I can control these hormones but I feel like not having any sleep and being sick has made them overwhelming. Hormones will be the death of me.
  • My MIL.

    We had a power outage due to an ice storm so for four days DH, DD, and I stayed at MIL's with our generator hooked up and a fire in her huge fireplace. The entire time she questioned every parenting decision I made, kept trying to feed DD food that I said she couldn't have (DD is 9 months old. She doesn't need caramels, funnel cake, pie.), and then kept trying to undermine both mine and DH's rules (no playing with phone chargers, no crawling behind the recliner, things that we don't allow her to do at home and continually get after her for). The day the power was restored, DD had a well child check. We didn't tell MIL because she spends so much time telling me how small DD is and that she should be bigger because MIL's other grandchildren were bigger.
    My husband works with her best friend and I'm sure it slipped that DD had an appt. MIL has been calling me every 15 minutes yesterday and today and I guarantee its wanting to know how much DD weighs. (If it was something important she would call DH. She never calls me unless she wants me to do something for one of her club events)
    Seriously tempted to ask her after her next appointment "how much do you weigh?"

    Sorry for what will probably seen like a pointless rant.
  • I FINALLY got my toddler to take a nap today. I decided to lay down too, because I feel like crap. I FINALLY fall asleep, to wake up not more than 5 minutes later to DH grumbling at the dog. I then couldn't go back to sleep.

    Sounds like someone needs to back the fuck off! How some of you ladies survive the first tri without pulling a Dexter astounds me.
  • @Nerdchild I wish she would! She doesn't know about this pregnancy yet. We aren't looking forward to her input.
  • @TattoosandLace I wish you luck. Hopefully your weather doesn't bring another power outage that necessitates another long visit!
  • @nerdchild thank you! Northwest Oklahoma can be unpredictable. Last year we had a very mild winter. I was due with DD in February so I was nervous about icy roads/blizzards en route to hospital. In reality, we were wearing shorts a few days before she was born.
  • DD is sick with bronchiolitis/RSV, so our fun weekend plans turned into a walk-in clinic visit, phone calls with our doctor, monitoring her breathing, and a rough night's sleep on Friday (I slept in her room as per our doctor's advice to monitor her, and she alternated between waking up coughing/crying and waking up yelling "Mama, let's play!") DH took the shift in her room last night so I could get some rest, and of course she slept through the night completely and he had a fine sleep. This always happens when DH is the one who will be getting up with her through the night or in the morning, vs. when it's my turn. Always!

    Thank God she's breathing easier today and her wheezing has decreased, so I think she's on the mend, but now I am starting to feel congested and have a sore throat so I'm worried I'm getting sick.
  • @DobbysSock my goodness! I'm glad your daughter is feeling better and breathing a little easier! Hopefully you don't get sick! <3
  • Thanks @TattoosandLace ! It seems like she had a fairly mild case of it. Her resp rate did get up pretty high and she was showing some signs of difficulty breathing, but was still eating/drinking normally and more or less her normal self when it came to playing and mood, so we were lucky!
