I'm pissed at my husband. I want this baby now! And he literally limits our "bedroom time" because he thinks I have ulterior motives (100% true, I do) he keeps trying to limit my activity because he wants me to make it to the full 40 weeks. I'm about to explode. (Literally AND hypothetically) he doesn't understand that my sciatic nerve is making me miserable and if he ever tells me 230 dinner is unreasonable again I will probably kill him. IM HUNGRY leave me alone!!! Idc if I'm being whiny, there are only two things in this world that my emotions cannot handle and that's being hungry and being tired. I honestly turn into the devil if I'm either of those and lately I'm constantly both of those at the same time. JUST FEED ME AND PUT ME TO BED. How hard can it really be?!?
I'm really irritated that I couldn't sleep until 6am(EST) and I woke up at 945am when SO got up for work.. I snuggled in..... Got comfy..... Landlord shows up to continue working on the house...
I just wanna sleep -cries-
On top of being really Effin sleepy my stomach is acting all sorts of funny...
This whole "Black Hermione" thing has been WAY overreacted to... books breed imagination which is killed the second a movie is made. Casting destroys imagination. Why can't Hermione be black? And this whole imaginary world functions through OWLS and people travel through fireplaces, yet THIS is the issue people have. In my mind Hermione is white... but I was a little white girl reading the books and I related to her.
Sorry I just HATE movie adaptations and how it takes away the imagination that comes with reading a book (and this applies to EVERY book to movie adaptation in some way). And maybe this belongs in UO Thursday but honestly people just bug me.
I hate the every night heartburn and reflux. I'm so tired of having to spend hours sitting up awake in bed every night, b/c otherwise I'm choking on a mouthful of acid. I CAN sleep at night while pregnant. No pregsomnia, and I can even sleep on my belly, so this shit needs to take a hike.
And to make heartburn even more fun, I'm DYING for gumbo. Probably not smart.
Pants. I give up. I'm tired of them. They don't fit and I don't have the extra cash to buy clothes I'll only use for a few weeks. And my 1 year old decided today is her cranky day as well.
Yes to the pants. And also shoes. It is so cold and wet here and I have no shoes that fit me, I have been wearing slippers for about a month now with no shame, but the wet is making it impossible to wear my slippers without getting them wet and making me even more cold! Also my one pair of maternity jeans that are warm have been fitting weird and rubbing between my legs weird and it makes going outside the most miserable experience ever.
It kind of blows me away how often people will tell you what do to while pregnant. "No, you will not lift that" "No you will not go there" "No you will not drink/eat that"... Like I understand why, but don't you think it's ultimately my decision? I feel like a child being parented by the general public these days...
I would like to bitch out my mom. She hasnt done anything to me but my SIL and brother (who are expecting their first in may) are having troubles with her and she blows everything out of proportion. She has got my dad on her side by telling lies I'm sure and now Xmas is all in shambles because my brother and SIL are no longer invited. the stuff my mom has said to them is embarassing.
So I ordered my closet organizer because everything needs to be organized before baby comes and now Im upset that it came so fast. I want it done but I don't want to do any of it. It's an easy one day job, shelves, drawers and a bunch of rods, but I just dont want to!
@kvacmak I totally agree! My husband told me I can't eat subway! Um yes I can I just got get a hot sub. Oh and my 5 year old is sick so I have everyone constantly telling me not to share drinks, etc cuz I don't need to be sick. Like people, I know what to do and what not to do! Sorry. Your post just reminded me.
Oh also I live in NY and Amazon just delivered my FILs Christmas present to somewhere in Indiana. I called and they can't promise me it will be here in time. Also I haven't gotten a new order number. So I will be calling again later tonight if I don't have all the info I think I need.
I am getting over a cold and with that I am still coughing. I try to drink lots of water but am so done with wetting myself everytime I cough. I am so done with it!!!
Stupid cervix is still high, closed, and posterior even though I had non-ignoreable contractions last night that seriously interrupted my sleep. If your going to do something, cervix, bloody well do it already!
I've been craving a good chicken pad Thai for a couple months now. I recently moved out of NYC where I had my go to places. I found a spot with good reviews in the burbs where I'm now at...and what an awful disappointment it was.
My mom has decided that today is the day to give me a hard time about EVERYTHING: my husband forgetting to send her a thank you text for his birthday present; the fact that the in-laws are going to be in town at the same time she is, after the baby is born; the fact that I haven't sent her a picture of my belly. EVERYTHING. And when I called her out on giving a stressed out pregnant lady a hard time, her response was What on earth do you have to be stressed about?!
Seriously considering rescinding her invitation to come down here after the baby is born, but she lives on the other side of the country and already bought a plane ticket.
Woke up at 5:30 this morning with what I think are contractions. Painful enough for me not to be able to fall back asleep. Along came nausea and vomiting. So I'm like shit labor. Luckily I already had an appt this morning. So I suffered until 10:15 when I had my appt for them to examine me and say I'm not dialated. I'm still so nauseous and in pain. I don't even know what to do!
Not sure if this counts as a bitchfest type of complaint, but I got some news last night that really, really made me sad.
*********Trigger warning, loss mentioned********
We found out at Thanksgiving that our closest friends were expecting again. They told us early (7 weeks) because we're really good friends and because we had just toured the day care where their two year old goes and loved it, so they were psyched that their new baby and our baby would be day care buddies. Well, they went in for their first ultrasound last week and found out that it was twins, but that neither of them had a heartbeat. I'm so heartbroken for them. It's the husband's birthday on Christmas Eve and he's having a little party and I know they were planning on announcing the pregnancy then, so it's just going to be sad. I also have their thank you card for the shower gift they got us on my kitchen table and ready to be mailed, but I have to rewrite it now because it was all full of excitement for their baby and our baby playing together. Just terrible news. And being as hormonal and emotional as I am right now I dreamt of nothing but miscarriages all night last night and I'm just in an awful mood today.
@maureenmce that breaks my heart for them too and I don't even know them my old boss (who is more of a good friend) and her husband have been trying to have a baby for years, they even did an embryo transfer, she was pregnant for a few days, then lost it. Now she's pregnant (it happened naturally, too!) at about 10 weeks and I am just so scared that I'm going to get bad news. I just want her to have the baby she always wanted.
On a completely separate note, every time I try to sit down to poop I get awful back and sciatic pain. I just wanna not be constipated
SO and I had a come to Moses meeting because I slept like crap last night, had to go to the office by 11am and I had a therapy appointment after that. So he knew when I was leaving even and decided to text me over if my car has gas, are bills paid, what are we having for supper, etc crap that a) we have already discussed at great length multiple times and b) he knows better than to ask me before I go to run errands and go to my appointment. My therapist said we have to start writing things down because then it shows accountability and there is no excuse. I also have a headache. I'm ready for nap time 2.
My uterus needs to get the memo that just b/c I need to poop, doesn't mean it needs to freak out with contractions. Seriously, let me finishing getting the toddler in his pjs, then I'll poop. Calm your ass down.
@Brianna0915 My birth class teacher said sex will not bring on labor unless you were already going to go into labor in a couple days time. She said if you're not in "your window" it won't do anything. She also said not to bother limiting sex to avoid going into labor.
@maureenmce Sorry about your friend! My friend just had the same experience (single baby though) at 9 weeks. She has been struggling with infertility and had gotten pregnant via IVF. It was really sad. I asked some other friends who've had miscarriages and they said to acknowledge it and let her know you were there for her. I sent her a card and this book: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/0471548340. Hope your friends are ok.

It's 4 days before Christmas and I work in a 4th grade classroom with kiddos with behavioral special needs. Their Christmas crazy is more than my pregnant ass can handle this week! It also doesn't help that I must be looking worse today because all of my co workers asked me how I was feeling with a frowney face today... I have a full on preggo waddle at this point...one more day then I have a week and a half off, but I'm starting to think that going back to work in the new year is going to REALLY suck!
I usually don't do these but this guy at the store has me furious. I went to walmart to get some shopping done for my hospital bag and grab a few food items and my husband's Christmas gift. It was a madhouse and trying to park was ridiculous. While I was trying to find a spot this jerk sat and waited for a few minutes for a spot near the front. This bothers me on a good day but I was already having BH and ended up having to park at the very back of the lot. The worst part is this person wasn't old, didn't have a young child in tow, or look in any way impaired. They were just that lazy.
Oh BTW , tonight I asked my husband to make me hot cocoa and a piece of toast and he looked like it was such a burden ! Oh so sorry to burden you when I've been carrying our baby 8 months and still make you dinner every single night . Give me a sigh one more time , I swear ! I haven't asked him to do much of anything this whole pregnancy
I've been that level of tired all day where everything pushes me to the brink of angry tears, but today was literally so ridiculous DH was actually laughing at my extraordinary bad luck. It's long but writing it out will help me put all this ish in perspective.
Tomorrow (Tues) is the last day of the production year for work. I had a big goal to hit, which would set me up perfectly to ease into maternity leave and slow down these next few weeks. I worked like crazy to hit it, go to submit the paperwork, and the system is down. 1 hour later with tech support and all we've discovered is that it's not just my computer. So I ask my client if she could print and scan her paperwork. She could...except her printer is out of ink. So it's 6am and I'll be going in bright and early to try to get this done. It may not process in time for the deadline, unfortunately.
I've been trying to change my last name at all necessary places (even though we've been married a year, whoops). My bank was supposed to send me a new debit card. I messaged them to say I still haven't received it, and get a response with instructions how to change my name. Lady, I've already changed my name, that's not the problem. I just need a new card. I ordered one 2 months ago and my account has worked just fine while waiting for it. So her response? To shut down my account. How did I find this out? By making a last minute grocery trip that I really didn't want to make for DH because we were out of GD pasta sauce. My checks won't clear. My debit card won't work. And as I leave the store totally embarrassed and trying to hold it together, I get wicked side eyed from this middle aged lady because I parked in an Expectant Mother parking space. Apparently my maternity coat, painful waddle, and tears didn't make me appear pregnant enough.
My mom is in town for Christmas. She's an addict and last time she was here she no showed dinner with my and my sister and showed up wasted to my baby shower. Needless to say, I'm not ready for her.
"Shake it Off" -Taylor Swift, has been stuck in my head since I heard it at 130pm today.
Why does it have to be so difficult to poop? I swear I pushed harder today than I did to deliver my two year old! I just want my bowels to go back to normal!
GAgirlinSDakota Hey, I was totally having this too and just last week I finally spoke to my Dr and he said to take 150mg of zantac morning and night and it's been a LIFESAVER --> NO MORE HEARTBURN!! I was getting it so bad that water was giving me heartburn and so I was getting dehydrated because I was avoiding water. Ask your dr, even though it's close to the end, every night counts!
My loud new neighbors moving in! This guy has the deepest loudest voice (I can hear him clear as day through walls) and they keep dropping stuff.... It is so irritatingly loud. He is currently GRUNTING and hitting something into the wall. my preggo hormones make me so intolerant to unnecessary noise!!! Especially when I've been hearing it for the last 3 hours.

And all of my slip on shoes, are suede or some sort of "don't get wet" material.
Also my one pair of maternity jeans that are warm have been fitting weird and rubbing between my legs weird and it makes going outside the most miserable experience ever.
