People who don't pay their bill! Ugh! My husband owns his own company and I help with all the books so I can stay home. Going through our end of year stuff just made me sick. Pay your freaking bill people! We have bills to pay too!
My bitchfest is mild, but here goes. We didn't have power before we left for a hunting trip so we stayed at MIL's. We took our bedding there. Husband didn't bring it home like I thought he had so when we finally arrive home after being out of state for what feels like a week and a half but was really only like six days, WE HAD NO MOFO BEDDING. I asked him to drive the mile to MIL's to get them but he didn't want to get out after our long drive so we used a body pillow as head pillows and he didn't get any blanket last night.
@TattoosandLace I'd be so annoyed. DH is super forgetful - every single time he leaves the house he's back within a few minutes for something (wallet, cell phone, keys). I was working over the weekend and DH wanted to go skiing with his brother, so he took DD to his mom's house 1.5 hr away and they stayed overnight. He got home shortly before DD's bedtime the next day. Right as we were putting her to bed he told me he thought he forgot her lamb at MIL's house (the lamb she sleeps with every night). I was so annoyed - how do you not pack your child's security toy FIRST? Anyways - it turned out it was in his truck, thankfully, but he totally would have been on bedtime duty if he had forgotten that thing as she would have been miserable.
I thought that maybe I had found the perfect mixture of medication to help with HG. I was wrong. I've been up since 2 throwing up. I think I might throw a pity party for myself.
I'm finally sick BC people at work won't take the fucking day off and stay home when they have a cold and cough so of course I got it. I am highly annoyed I have to use a PTO day just because other people can't take care of themselves and respect their co-workers.
I had the hardest time going to sleep last night because it was the last day of my break. I tossed and turned for what seemed like forever and once I finally got to sleep, my husband came to bed and started snoring like a chainsaw and woke me up. I never got back to sleep so now I'm at work on about 2.5 hours and it is so painful! I've always been a light sleeper but since I've been pregnant I feel like I can't sleep through anything
I have to get my anatomy scan at another office, so I called three times last week and nobody answered. Figured they might have different hours/staff with the holiday. Called this morning, and again no answer so I left a message. Figures they call me back when I'm not in my office, and when I call back NO ANSWER. I'm just going to make a nuisance of myself and continuously call until someone picks up. This is ridiculous.
My husband is soooooo frickin' forgetful about EVERYTHING! This past week, we went to Maine to visit family and celebrate Christmas, and I would tell him what the plan for each day was (multiple times) and I SH!T YOU NOT, literally within five minutes of telling him (EACH TIME) he would ask me what our plan was or what we were doing next.
I got to the point where I looked right at him and said, "From now on, our plans are on a need-to-know basis. I'm not telling you shit until it's happening because there is no point in telling you ANYTHING, bc you just forget it!"
He just laughs, which is both disarming and infuriating all at once.
My bitchfest is from last week: I had my NT scan scheduled for Wednesday night; it was perfect bc my parents were watching DD so DH had the night to ourselves for dinner and the scan. I get to the hospital and no one had any record of my scan. Fuming. I talk with like 5 different people who have no idea what's going on and can't help me at all. Of course I was pissed off and just overall bummed out. Fast forward to the next morning when I get a call that said my appointment was supposed to be at 7am vs. 7pm.
My MIL. DH just got off the phone with her and came into the room to tell me that when we find out the sex we need to make sure she's the first to know, because she's throwing a fit over not being the first to find out we were pregnant. We deliberately didn't tell her first because we knew she'd spill the secret before we told people ourselves. She's apparently in a facebook comment war with my step-MIL because SMIL left a comment on our announcement about becoming a grandmother again. MIL is throwing shade that she's the grandmother and SMIL is only the step-grandmother. She did the same thing a couple years ago with DH's nephew when SMIL commented on a facebook post saying "grandma and grandpa are proud of you" and MIL commented "...from your REAL grandmother". Ugh. I'm waiting to actually see one of these comments and I'm going to call her on it and shut it right down. The more people in the world who love our child the better, I don't see the sense in arguing semantics or who has the official title. The kid isn't even born yet. Grow up.
I also didn't sleep well last night- tossing and turning and having terrible nightmares. I dreamt my baby wasn't going to make it and woke up crying and hysterical... Seems fitting for the first day back. Also had to guzzle sugar juice and have an early GD test this morning (family history of diabetes= extra screenings). That juice was like crack- my eye has been twitching lol. The only upside to getting 5 tubes of blood drawn was hearing the heartbeat on the doppler and being reassured that my dream fear was irrational. Mondays after holidays, the most unwelcome of all Mondays!!!
After having an abnormally warm winter it decides to get cold. Yep im mad about it because going from 70 degrees to 35 degrees is just not fair.
My boss whos a guy by th way totally doesn't understand MS he just thinks its just in the morning ummm noo!
We have this bath mat that has to be flipped over the side of the tub so it'll dry properly and my step daughter refuses to flip the mat. Must be her teenage brain I give up.
This is my 1st pregnancy so its my Dad's 1st grandchild he calls me EVERY OTHER DAY the shit is so annoying. Nothing has changed Dad im still pregnant I still have MS.
OK Lastly I am my church's Secretary and all I wanna do is say go the F away cuz I don't feel well. But of course I can't do that. Its not Christ like.
I will kill my doctor if she asks one more time when I plan to stop breastfeeding my daughter and then when I reply with "when she decides" I get lectured on how that's not how parenting works... I will kill her if she doesn't stop to listen to me rather than cut me off when I have comments and concerns. Oh and thank for not giving me the proper paperwork for my NT scan... I am missing the bloodwork part so I guess I just get to go look at baby next Monday. (I know they can tell a lot from the scan it self but the bloodwork is supose to work in conjunction with it)
@Puddles03 I'd be shopping new doctors... I had to wean my DD when I was about 5 months pregnant with my second because of contractions and legit cervical shortening due to IC. But I would have been content to tandem nurse if it had been a possibility. My last two were just more independent children and weren't as attached to the idea of breastfeeding forever. Each kid is different.
@MotherOfDucks I am really trying to make it work with this doctor, I have been through 4 doctors in less than 6 years...(2 of them left clinics without telling patients) but still I am tired of finding a new one and having to start over again. I just came here to bitch about how uninformed she is about bfing and how she doesn't listen.
I am really sorry you had issues bfing and carrying another child. I hope to continue but will stop if it becomes an issue during this pregnancy.
@Puddles03next time, bring a print-out from the WHO about breastfeeding and ask her why she disagrees. LOL! (I only nursed for around 5 months but am in awe of moms that go the distance.) It's not hurting anyone and doctors especially should be aware of that. I just don't get her response. You'd think she'd be happy!
Thank you @quartz02, I should have been better prepared and usually I am pretty good with responding snarky such as "well they have to wean before college" but I wasn't expecting the question again from her or from any doctor.
DD's part time school ends July 31. I really want her to have something for August so she has that consistency when the baby comes. So far, I have found three options for summer camps that even go until mid-late August. #1 is $400/week for three mornings. Uh- f you. no. #2 is $380/wk for part time. #3 is 17 miles away but around here that's like 45 minutes.
How am I complaining about summer camps on Jan 4??
@bluecrab1020 my cousin and his wife have three children who they send to a summer camp in NC called Seagull and Seafarer. The oldest girl and boy go for four weeks and it costs over $4,000. Each. The week long camp the youngest attends is over $1,000. Good for them but I'm just in shock at the cost.
I second or third or whatever the first Monday back after the holiday. I work for a university, so I was off from the 24th until today. I got so much amazing sleep over break, but last night I get in bed around 10:30 (had to stay up for the Downton premier!) and was still wide awake at 1:30am. Poor hubby, I kept asking if he was awake and telling him I was bored. Now I am totally dragging.
I love my husband. But if he wakes me up at 4am ONE MORE TIME because he wants to cuddle I might just throat punch him. It wouldn't be a big deal except he is restless and fidgety unless he's dead asleep, so that means he wakes me up at 4am, fidgets and moves around for half an hour before falling asleep while I lay there staring at the ceiling for two more hours and silently cursing him to just HOLD THE EFF STILL already. We've talked about it, I've explained that this baby has stolen my ability to sleep and his waking me up at ungodly hours makes me irrationally rage-y. He just gets butt hurt and complains that we don't sleep "together" (cuddling) anymore.
You're right dude, we don't. Because I have enough trouble finding a semi-comfortable position by myself, let alone with you all tangled up in my business. Blame the little human inside me. I don't need you squishing my sore boobs and putting pressure on my belly while breathing your morning breath in my face. I just want to sleep!

This may be a bit sneaky, buuuuut if you elbow him or smack him awake a few time "in your sleep" he'll be cool with using a pillow divider in no time. We do this because I have legit night terrors, but you could always claim pregnancy is causing restless sleep/nightmares (both true). Trust me, just a couple times being elbowed or kneed awake and he'll let you have your space.

Amen sister! I sleep on the couch myself sometimes. Its just more comfortable. And I understand the whole cuddle thing. Please go to your side of the bed please husband im trying to get some sleep here!

I have eff-ing shingles. It's more irritating than painful right now but I already feel like shit and have enough anxiety being PGAL. Screw you shingles virus.
And plus also. I'm the admin in a marketing department, so I have not only my own email address, but I also monitor the general requests email address for the department. And no matter how many times I ask all my coworkers to please not copy me AND the general address on EVERY email, because then I get them twice, they just. don't. get it. 100s of emails per day. That I have to check twice.
@jlgriff11 my parents live really close to seagull/seafare and laughing at the kids stuck in their summer camp bunker while we were eating ice cream cones on the pier was a favorite childhood pass time.
If my coworker tells me not to lift anything one more time I might freak out. I'm an elementary school teacher...it's not like I'm hauling things around all day. I picked up 4 laptops, and she starts yelling from across the hall, insisting that I should never pick up anything more than 5 pounds. If picking up 5 pounds was an issue, no babies would ever be born ever.

My OB told me not to vacuum. I was like... are you going to come clean my house?

My OB told me basically stop everything I'm doing. I'm a personal trainer and group exercise instructor and she told me not to lift anything over 15 lbs and make sure not to break a sweat. What. I powerlifted before I found out I was pregnant, easily picking up 250 lbs off the ground, and while I'm obviously not going to do THAT exactly, you want me to go from 250 to 15?? All while also telling me to "stay active" and reminding me that healthy weight gain is 25-30 lbs? I'm gonna BLOW UP if I take your advice! No one can go from a daily calorie burn of close to 4000 to like 2000 and expect to gain only 25 lbs over a 9 month period, basic science.
Sorry for venting, but I left that appointment fuming. As a FTM, I'll take her advice on a lot of things but this is something I just can't..
