With all the hormones, frustrations, and embarrassing moments floating around on the boards, I figure we could start another Dear Diary thread. It'll be good for laughs!
Dear Diary,
This is the third day I've sat on the couch and stared at the box of wrapping paper on the floor. How the hell am I supposed to get down on the wood floor and wrap gifts?! What about the 485 times I will have to pee?
Yesterday I was babysitting my friends 2 kids when I got scared of the loud thunder and farted really loudly in front of the 5 year old and blamed it on her 2 year old sister.

Re: Dear Diary...
Dear diary ,
I am super excited about this baby don't get me wrong but I'm sick of the same old questions from my parents and have nothing new to say back . I'm pretty sure I have a case of RBF but over the phone , I'm trying to sound as excited as I actually am ... Totally doesn't come out that way ! Anyone else have this problem ? Maybe I'm just effing tired ...
The husband wants me to fold laundry. (This also involves sitting on the floor.) But I feel like a turtle stuck on its back. And everyone today says it looks like if dropped. Stop getting my hopes up, I know it has nothing to indicate labor. I'm just a turtle with an even lower bump.
My husband thinks it's funny to joke about how big our baby is, he's so proud. Too bad he's not the one who has to push that big baby out. 36 weeks, measuring 38. It's not funny.
Dear diary,
I know I've been sensitive to chocolate my whole life... But since pregnancy I haven't been able to have a bite. So having a dream where I was eating amazing peanut m&ms only to wake up and realize I was still pregnant and can't have m&ms was a very cruel trick.
Is it wrong to not want a lot of visitors while in the hospital? I get people are excited and will want to visit but they took it upon themselves to invite themselves. My family I'm excited for them to be there and a couple of friends but what about the unwanted ones. I'm hoping they won't show up. Should I ignore my phone??
Or, should I just let them come and tell them to bring me awesome food and gifts?
@kiam032 I dont want visitors either. Maybe our parents but thats it. Were at the hospital for 24 hours people. Youve waited 9 months I think you can wait a few extra days.
Dear Diary,
Im tired of a lot of things. The constant questioning about how Im feeling. The constant "really, you look tired?" When I said Im good. People saying "wooh you look like your due anyday now". The not bring able to breathe. The sore back. The lack of sleep and not bring able to get comfortable. I just want her out and to feel normal again. Is that too much to ask? And who thought it was a compliment to say "you look pregnant in your face".
From,
The miserable pregnant lady who may turn into Ronda Rousey
Samesies. I get the same text from my dad and MIL almost every single day "how are you feeling?" It's sweet that they care but, I feel pretty much the same as yesterday and trust me if something changes you'll hear about it. Another confession...it annoys me more that my MIL asks than my dad. I'm excited my dad is so excited. I'm annoyed at how pushy my MIL can be and me being pregnant has made it so much worse.

They don't ask anymore lol
Rach8672 I totally feel you! People seem put off by the fact that I don't squeel and attempt cartwheels every time someone asks about baby!
Aanderson812 My hubs is the same, had a growth u/s this week and baby's head specifically is measuring 2+ weeks ahead. Hubs thinks its hilarious!
Dear Diary,
All I want for Christmas is a sign to hang on my neck that says "Due date is Jan 28. Yes, it's our first. It's a boy. Yes, we are excited. No, I don't want your advice" So I can avoid annoying conversations with strangers.
Is it wrong to threaten SO if he doesn't get his ass on the floor to wrap Christmas gifts for the kids? Or is it only wrong since I'm massively pregnant? Because if I could move fast enough, or get my feet high enough off the ground to kick him without losing my balance, I probably would. Also, he'd likely think it was some kind of foreplay. It is not. I just don't want to try to get my big, pregnant butt on the floor, let alone back up once I'm finished.
I'm stuck in this prison called a hospital.
I can't eat... Can't drink.... Can't sleep...
Please save me...
10hrs until I'm moved to labor and delivery. Maybe then I'll get off this baby monitor and actually be able to move around and get some rest.
Sincerely,
Unexpected induction.
If my MIL says, "Awwww, I'm going to miss you being pregnant" one more time...
All I want for Christmas is to lose my mucus plug.
Hubby started walking circles around me and giggling about me having a gravitational pull and him being sucked into orbit.
My tailbone feels like its broken and my hips hurt, if hubby smacks my ass one more time I'm removing his hands.
He also makes milking jeatures and cow noises at my boobs.
Can we just time hop forward 3-4 weeks. I don't want to have her yet, but I also don't want to be pregnant anymore!!
I feel extremely guilty if/when I complain about this pregnancy because it took so many years for us to get here. I can still vividly recall the days when just the tiniest smidgen of a complaint from a pregnant friend or relative would make me grind my teeth and fight the urge to scream, "but you are getting to do something beautiful and wonderful and you are taking that miracle for granted!! How dare you whine about being a little gassy, you monster??"
I vowed if I ever got lucky enough to see that second pink line show up, I'd keep my mouth shut about all the little inconveniences that popped up along the way.
But yet, here I am, whining to anyone who asks about how I swear this baby is kicking my ribs on purpose, how annoying it is to feel my bladder being head-butted 50 times a day, and oh my stars this heartburn...
I feel bad. I do. But maybe I need to remind myself that for five years I basically romanticized pregnancy into something it wasn't because it was something I thought I'd never have. Now, being here, going through this? I'm angry with myself for all the times a pregnant friend just wanted to share her experiences with me and I couldn't see past my own bitter jealousy to let her vent.
There will be little things I'll miss, I'm sure, but I, too, am ready for this part to be over... it's been a hell of an experience at times but I know it will be worth it in the end.
And I might complain about sleepless nights and poopy butts in the months ahead but I assure you I will never take this child for granted. She is my miracle. ♡♡♡
If someone tells me that "baby will come when she's ready" one more time I might punch them in the face. Obviously I know babies come when they're ready. I'm allowed to be impatient.
I hate asking other people for favors because I am too big to move. I feel like a whale out of water. I cry when those sad dog and cat ASPCA commercials come on TV. I pee way too much to be considered normal and drink an insane amount of water yet I remain thirsty. I'm sorry for being overly sarcastic to my husband because he does try his best to make me smile.
I'm also confused because I'll be sick and throwing up in the morning and a fee hours later I'll be famished.
Signed,
I blame my hormones.
I'm starting to get a bit uncomfortable at times, but I still enjoy being pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I want to meet my little man...but feeling him move is still just super cool!
I want to meet my baby very badly but not until my husband came back from his trip from uk. Plz God help.
Dear Diary,
I just want to meet my daughter. Please help this happen sooner rather than later. I am sick of my family asking me 109485 times a day
How I feel and asking me if my water has broken. I'm fricken wish!
Ugh...
Sincerely,
Megan
