Someone needs to kick some of our DHs into gear! Mine has been nitpicking the crap out of me. I won't get into the minutia but he has something to say about every.little.thing. I do, say or buy. It's driving me crazy. Looking forward to visiting our family again for the long weekend so I can ditch him for a bit lol.
This is my DH to a T. He has been off the last 4 weeks with 2 fractured vertebrae and you would think the world is ending. He picks at everything. i steam mopped the floor two nights ago after he bitched it was filthy and said last night that its worse now and it just left a fog on the flooring. Fuck you dude. He also remembers EVERY thing i say, and throws it back in my face if i even remotely say something different. He has nothing else to do but pick on me. SO ANNOYING!
Hugs to you @SarahFoley725 xoxo There is never a bad time to turn on HP IMO. I think your DH is being a little extreme. I totally understand the panic/worry/anxiety and feeling overwhelmed but it's not like he's the only one experiencing it! Good for you for being a stellar wifey, I'm certain he'll come round, he will have to! In the mean time, come vent here!!
@oceanchild those kinds of stories are so upsetting and I'm so so sorry to hear about your friend. Cry it out and you know you can always come here to talk!! I just read a very comforting story this morning, it's about a baby born at 22 weeks and is finally going home! It was on a local news station and I'll link it for you. It might be nice to read something so happy when it seems like sad stories are all too prominent. I loved hearing about this baby especially considering I'm well past 22 weeks! https://m.wcvb.com/news/born-at-22-weeks-baby-finally-going-home-after-months-in-hospital/37205756
@skruhmin good to hear an update, I'm so glad he wasn't injured when falling.
I'm leaving Ireland tomorrow to head back to MA. I fucking hate this part, it's so hard saying bye. I'm so blessed that my parents will come visit for a few weeks around my DD. Still, I hate saying "see you soon"
@skruhmin happens every time i wash dishes, lol DH says i'm standing to close and smushing his son. eh well since my arms aren't growing with my belly, he will have to get over it.
Haha yes, I call this the late pregnancy T-rex effect.
Went in for a sonogram today. Had to get up extra early for it so I don't get much sleep and am now exhausted. Almost passed out from being on my back to long. I just couldn't breath right and got really light headed. Good news is that they are both growing right, they are on track for growth but ahead a little on weight. I actually lost like 3 pounds the last 2 weeks (I'm assuming that it is from the flu) Now I feel like I need some oxygen and a nap. Currently on my knees with my chest on the armrest of the couch to help me breath. Next week is glucose and all the icky stuff.
@SarahFoley725 You don't sound bitchy at all. I was just trying to get inside of the man brian(a dangourus place to go).... but I do get that it is supper frustrating and hurtful that he doesn't seem to be meeting you halfway. I hope he will have a wake up call soon. Have you tried being supper blunt with him and laying it all out on the table. Maybe he isn't seeing it from your point of view.
One of my husbands downfalls is that he takes my feelings or opinions to be personal attacks on him. If I'm like "I feel like you're distancing yourself from me" he freaks out. Super annoying and I hope he gets over it because I do not have time for his fits after baby gets here.
I am so tired. I slept maybe 4 hours. Someone has left their dogs out all night and they haven't stopped barking. I'm also super stressed out about 292827 things. The natural thing to do when you wake up at 5am is to turn on Harry Potter I guess.
My DH can fall into that trap as well. He can get supper upset and say things like "I guess I'm just a big ass whole and horrible human being." (He's not. He is pretty freaking wonderful and I hate when I accidently make him feel like this.) I've learned how to phrase things differently and he has learned to remember that when I share my feelings it's not an attack on him. A few years ago we got into this rut where we both inadvertently said things that tore the other one down. We started a new rutine. Before we went to bed every night we had to thank the other person for one thing they did that day or give them one compliment. (I won't lie, some days it was like grasping for straws to find one thing that I wanted to say.) But, it made me focus on the little things he did and it also made me realize how much I meant to him. If your dh is willing to participate I think it would do you good to hear some positive things. You deserve it girly. You have been working hard building this baby.
As for my good news, Dr. just called and I passed my 3 hour glucose test. The last reading was supper low, 47. So wonder I felt horrible when I left the hospital.
My boss has been on vacation all of this week and last in Hawaii. He sent the office a box of goodies to munch on from there. Things like Chocolate covered macadamia nuts, chocolate covered coffee beans, etc......They are absolutely delicious.....the only problem is that my office decided to put all the wonderful goodies on a table outside my office door.......this pregnant lady is now addicted to chocolate covered macadamia nuts....
@skruhmin that's the best pic! Made me grin I definitely sport that look quite often LOL. Glad to hear your g'pa is in good hands with family for now. Hope that transition goes smoothly for them all. @ecwk thanks for the linky. It's definitely nice to remember all the stories that *do* have happy endings! @red3ye I hope you catch your breath! I feel like I can't catch mine half the time already and so I can't even imagine what you're experiencing right now!

We finally picked a paint color for the nursery!! Yay! So bloody excited. 10 samples later. But, whatever, it's done. I got a funny video of baby kicking/punching my tummy last night. Wanted to show DH, but I'm with you ladies, he's irritating me right now. I can't put my finger on it, he's just putting things off, acting distant, and generally crabby. Men.
Thanks @JLaVO888 I think I exhausted myself crying last night and because of that I slept really well. Feeling rested right now and going to just take it easy and focus on positive stuff for today (and kicking this cold I have).

@oceanchild Good cries are very cathartic. With everything you've been through and now your friend, crying it out is just what you needed I'm sure. Thoughts and prayers to your friend.
So DH's brother, who is 18 so he's a real life adult, shares a bathroom with us. And it's technically my and DH's job to clean the bathroom because his brother is supposed to load and empty the dishwasher throughout the day. Well we came home from running errands like 3 days ago, to find that his brother had trimmed his beard. Totally fine right? Except he left all his beard hair everywhere. In the sink, on the counter, in the floor, it was so nasty. Yesterday he was complaining to his mom that the bathroom was "never clean" (I freakin scrubbed that thing Saturday). And I got super fed up. And she came to talk to me about it, and I brought her in there, and I showed her. Toothpaste all over the counter and mirror even though I just cleaned it, hair everywhere, nasty q-tips around the trashcan, trash in the floor. She got on to him about it, especially because I frequently wind up doing the dishes because he does nothing all day.
And now he's pouting and won't talk to DH or me because we're "guilting him" into cleaning.
There's a difference between cleaning, and cleaning up after yourself. I swear if he ever gets married, that poor girl better know what she's getting into.

Let him pout, I wouldn't feel bad at all. Sorry it is time to grow up.

Guess who failed her GTT!! As gross as I felt afterwards, I can't say I'm shocked. 168!! That's pretty high isn't it? Crap. I should've known to expect bad news when I felt so awful afterwards. I'm so bummed. I don't wanna schedule a 3 hour test.
As for DH drama, ugh!! We went to a dinner party yesterday, some of my running friends were there. One of them asked him how many miles of use he gets out of his running shoes. DH answered and she replied saying that's expected since he's not a skinny mini!! DH has been battling a sudden thyroid disorder for the past 2years and is devastated by his weight gain. He's not overweight but he used to be a skinny mini that would complain when his body fat percentage hit 12%. He's the biggest he's ever been his entire life and is miserable. He kept it together for the evening but was a self conscious mess by the time we got to the car. We got home and he practically sobbed an apology for being a jerk earlier and then thanked me for still wanting to be with him even though he's "fat." Kind of takes any satisfaction I was expecting out of his apology. I know he's having a hard time with his thyroid disorder and he's genuinely down in the dumps and I kind of feel bad for him but I'm still kind of mad at him too. Part of me wants to tell him to shut up and just let it go but I also know he just saw his endocrinologist and nutritionist this week and they're both concerned he's showing no progress and his weight is still going up so I have to bite my tongue. AGGGGHHH!!!
@2goofykids Yeah, he needs to do some serious growing up. Sounds like you have been way more patient with him than I would be. Two of DH'S siblings have lived with us and are very irrisposible-one is an alcoholic and the other doesn't have an independent bone in her body. I once told his brother to go to his room and not come out I was so mad. (He was probably 35 at the time and I was 20). But I must have sounded real pissed because he did it.
@soxfan9968 Ugh, what a jerk!! I can't believe people feel like they can say things like that about people TO people. I'm sorry, your poor hubby's feelings!
@JLaVO888 I know! I'm so excited to get started. By the end of January (if all goes according to my plans) it will be painted, most furniture put together, and most art hung on the walls. Can't wait!
@2goofykids Yep, he needs to grow up! I'm sorry he's being such a pain.
@2goofykids no freaking way. I would give that boy a piece of my mind if he tried pulling that shit. The deal you guys struck is not an excuse for him to be a god damn slob.
@soxfan9968 I feel bad for your dh. It's not an excuse for him to be a jerk to you, But that woman's comment was really insensitive and out of line. It just goes to show that people should never comment on the physical appearance of others, because you just never know what is really going on in their life or medical history.
Ew ew ew @2goofykids he definitely needs to grow up!! God bless your patience!
@soxfan9968 eurgh, who says that kind of shit?? Also, sorry about the gtt, good luck for your three hour!
Lol @JLaVO888 your story isn't really funny but thinking of a twenty year old telling a thirty something year old to go to their room and stay there is sort of makes me giggle. Huge eye roll at grown men who act like babies!!
@skruhmin We're sort of in that same thing with my grandparents, so I can sympathize. They're 89 and 92. My dad thinks they can just move into a retirement facility, but at this point statistically if we move them they're much more likely to go down hill faster. They chug along, and Grandma reports all of Grandpa's falls to me when I call... and then gets wistful and says if only she could be nearer to us so she could help me take care of DS.
@ecwk Have a safe trip home! The weeks between will fly (scary thought) and you'll love having your family with you to help with new baby.
@ecwk 5 years later and we laugh about it every time it's broght up. His brother and I have a pretty good relationship now that he doesn't live with us. He knows not to mess with me though becuase he has seen my temper.
@soxfan9968how mean people can be. I can't believe that. I have rosacea and always get asked what's wrong with my face, I tell people it is a sunburn, but I go home and cry. I just wish people would ignore it. Use your brains people.

Thanks ladies! I just cringed when she said it but she kept saying it over and over. "We're not skinny minis...when you're not a skinny mini... Etc." I don't normally talk to this lady since she's considerably older but my friends that know me and DH all had this panicked look on their faces and kept trying to get her to change the convo.
@kitteh81 oh I'm totally still mad at him for yesterday's cleanliness rant but this puts a damper on my resolve to not cook for him. He's basically shut down and doesn't want to eat so now I HAVE to cook something and make sure he's taking food with his thyroid meds. I'm just going to have to make him clean the kitchen in return. It's like having a toddler that needs force feeding or he'll starve. Damn it! Aren't I supposed to be the one with weight issue right now? Lol!
Thanks ladies for being so awesome. It's beyond frustrating but he really is a great husband.
@skruhmin the same thing happened to me the other day but my boob was on the faucet. Oops
@soxfan9968 hugs to you AND DH. My husband has a cancerous tumor and part of his treatment included hormones. Well they gave him little boobs and it hurts his feelings when people pick at him about it. Poor guys
@oceanchild I'm glad you're feeling a little better today!
@2goofykids hopefully he will grow up some...or not like my brother has done haha
@soxfan9968 I can totally sympathize with your husbands mind set right now. I hvae had thyroid problems for a while and when we got pregnant this year, it completely quit on me. It cause a lot of rapid weight gain, even with eating healthy, until we got my meds figured our correctly. Before this happened i was someone whoe worked out at the gyn 5-6 times a week, ate healthy, and looked very athletic. My thyroid issue destroyed all that hard work. It was very devastating to me in the beginning and I found myself being very snappy towards those closest to me for a little while. Long story short, I am wondering if this is what your hubby is going through?? Maybe he is nit-picking/being snappy because of what he is going through....
I swear we have the best superintendent ever!!! He told us last week we could leave at 3 today. Then today we got a call- we could leave at 2! Since I worked near home today I skipped ny hour lunch and got to leave at 1! Now it's nap time, hoping to catch up so I can stay up for the ball drop tonight!
February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
@SparkE82 I know his pschye isn't in the best condition and I appreciate the hope but no. This is ALL him. He was like this when we first got married and moved in together. He can notice if something has been moved a millimeter! He's just not used me sleeping so much since I'm equally as active as him. It was just this May that I was still running Tough Mudder races, running half marathons with no training needed and had bloody knuckles from MMA. Me sleeping a lot and being winded from just going up the stairs is a foreign concept to him and he's having a hard time understanding that I just can't keep up with cleaning.
So I think this is a pregnancy win. I sneezed while I was already peeing on the toilet HA HA.
My favorite part about this is that you specified you were on the toilet while peeing. To a normal person that may seem like unimportant added information but to the pregnant world, it could be anywhere!!
Hello again ladies, I know I t's been a while (sorry). I've been catching posts here and there, but sometimes I fall over 1k comments behind and lose track.
While reading through the last couple of days' posts, I felt the need to send hugs, thoughts, and prayers to all of you ladies going through tough and/or stressful times. That's actually why I have been away from here for a bit myself.
DH can be a real jackass with me too...to the point where he told me a couple of weeks ago that he wasn't sure if he still wanted to be married. We talked through it and it was not so much our marriage, but the overwhelming stress that he was having trouble with, and things have been a little bit better.
The 3 hr GTT was stressful but thankfully I passed this go-round after having had gestational diabetes with DD.
Here's hoping for smoother sailing for all for the next few weeks as we all await our new little bundles of joy!
I was about to PM her. I'm sure she's busy with that huge beautiful family but it's been a week. Feel like a creepy stalker but hope all is ok with her!!!
Lol I sound so personally victimized and whiney but my friends are apparently having a party or something for NYE and definitely didn't invite us. They're sending me snap chats of their preparations and I'm just like *sigh* I love that everyone forgets I still have feelings or want to hang out with them even though I'm pregnant
Grr. I have been staying with my dad for now. He is gone at his sister's and a woman I haven't seen in years comes pounding on the door (you know, where they pound and pound and don't give you a chance to open up before you are already wanting to send them away?) She wanted to see my dad (she told me that she wants to date him, like ew!) And starts touching my belly and then tells me I need to have ds tested for down syndrome and autism because he is running around. Stupid woman. He is a 2 year old boy, healthy (he actually has been screened but just because we wanted to ensure his good health, not because we thought he had problems) and active. He wasn't being mean, destructive or anything, just running and playing with his cars. We have talked with his doctor before about his energy, again not because I have a problem with it but the idea that he might have problems when he starts school. Dh was on medication for ADD and he actually needed it to focus and learn how to control himself, he learned how to focus without it in Jr high. My brother was the same way. But when I told her that, and that we have no medical records of either side of our family having any issues with Downs or autism, she goes "well I didn't either and my daughter is fully autistic". Yeah but you were 43 and on drugs when you had her. Ds may have trouble with school, when he gets there, but I do not feel that him running into our room to get his cars he got for Christmas, to show her, is a sign of autism.

But when I told her that, and that we have no medical records of either side of our family having any issues with Downs or autism, she goes "well I didn't either and my daughter is fully autistic". Yeah but you were 43 and on drugs when you had her. Ds may have trouble with school, when he gets there, but I do not feel that him running into our room to get his cars he got for Christmas, to show her, is a sign of autism.
End rant. I feel better now
