WTF Wednesday 01/20

Let's hear them ladies!

My WTF is this weather and the weather forecasters.  Is it going to be snow?  Is it going to be ice?  No one seems to know and the forecast seems to be changing with each news broadcast.  AND is different on every channel.  UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!    I don't like either ice or snow, but if I have to have one I'd pick snow.  At least with snow there is a less likelihood of the power going out.  Ice typically means widespread power outages.

    Mine is silly:  this morning the twins and I were doing our after breakfast routine of me sitting on the floor and them making a mess around me.  At one point I stretched out on the floor on my side.  One climbed on me and stood up.  Unbeknownst to me, she could reach the full mug of hot (warm) water on top of the dresser.  SPLASH!  She soaked both of us and the carpet!  We were both so surprised (WTF!), but I was thankful it was just water.  We both had to change clothes  :)

    My WTF for today goes to the new guy in the office who keeps emailing individual people in our department. We have said please email all and gave him the email address to the whole department numerous occasions and he still writes back to one random person. Following directions must not have been on his resume.

    Mine goes to this effing cold/flu that won't go away. 1 full week so far, with a hacking cough, no voice, sore throat, no sleep....DH and I are on a ski (spa for me!) getaway right now for his birthday and we've been holed up in our hotel room drinking hot tea, coughing our heads off. WTF, why can't pregnant ladies take the GOOD medication?! (I know why....I'm just complaining).

    @sosweet487 that's ridiculous!!  And no apology for not even informing you that your doctor had left the practice??  I mean, it's not like you see this person once a year for an obligatory check up...you're in there every month!!

    Not nearly as bad but my dentist did something similar last year...she sold the practice and they sent out letters letting people know...my husband got a letter, I did not.  When we went in for appts the hygienist asked me if I got a letter, I told her no, and she shrugged and said "yeah, they only send out letters to about half the patients."  Huh?  In what world is THAT a good business practice??

    @sarawifenow I second that! I can literally not eat and get heartburn!! Not cool...

    My WTFW is to my random crying! My BF told me he was getting back with his ex (they were together for 3yrs) and I cried, but why was I crying when I love both of them?! Bahh

    Wtf to the battery dying in our spare car, leaving me an hour from home following an appointment (this has never happened before) and the car I would normally use for being in the shop getting fixed. Guess when it rains it pours.....

    Also, second Wtf to the specialists office for making me meet with the genetic counselor when the dr. specifically said there was no need. Insurance doesn't cover that, so that was a lovely $400 I could have saved.

    @folamiji that's wonderful...I mean, you're pregnant, so you DEFINITELY don't have better things to spend $400 on....geez.

    My WTF is that after we announced the sex of the baby to the family, my brother's fiance said that she would make us something to announce on social media. Uh, no thanks. My H and I will announce OUR child's sex how WE want to. Not with your help.
    I have missed you! I remembered the other day you were the one person who has issues with your brother's GF like I do with mine. Those stupid twats!

    WTF to my contractions today. They aren't as frequent but they've been hard. So hard that I've peed my pants at work and started crying. Thank God I brought a change of clothes. I mean really? I'm totally the pee your pants kid today.

    I have considered changing Drs this pregnancy. Somehow I picked the only dr in my area who does not treat ppd and that is a biggie for me, as I had it with both of my dd's. At my first appt I made sure to be very clear on my history with depression and he did not disclose his treatment policy (or lack thereof) at that time. It wasn't until a few weeks later when I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown that his nurse told me he does not prescribe antidepressants and that if I couldn't see my family dr during my pregnancy, I would be referred to a high risk dr 2 HOURS away from where I live. Considering how common pod is, that is ridiculous. If need be, I can always go to my family dr after I deliver who has treated me in the past, but I kind of feel like I was lied to by omission and I don't fully trust the guy now. All that being said.... I am not covered by insurance. We are making payments toward my fees monthly, so I'm unsure how it would work if I changed Drs halfway through. Would the new dr prorate my fees? Honestly, the financial commitment is what it comes down to. Have any of you ladies ever had this experience?

    @leahbickham I don't have experience with that, but I wanna say wtf to your dr right now! PPD is a big freaking deal! How can you just not treat it and live with yourself as a human being?! I'm sorry you even have to deal with that!

    I honestly didn't think to just ask straight up about it because he seemed super understanding when I gave him my history. The ob who delivered my first 2 was amazing, she treated me immediately after my first and during my entire second pregnancy, so I just assumed that was SOP. After speaking with other women he's seen who have had the same issue, he'd rather refer to a psychiatrist than hand over some Prozac. And frankly, I just need the Prozac

    Ok, yesterday was a pretty awesome day so no WTF moments. But this morning, I get up to find that my son is butt-naked in my bed with a lovely wet spot surrounding him, completely passed out. At some point last night he must have stripped, taken off his diaper, and decided to cuddle right up next to me. MH was sleeping on the couch since he got home super late from work. So, I trudge into the bathroom to do my business, dreading having to bathe and dress my toddler, as well as strip the bed and start up laundry before leaving for work. Halfway through my morning...ahem...movement...MH calls up "Oh, there's a water main break so we have no water! OK, I'm heading out to work!" So now I am sitting there wondering how the f I am supposed to clean my child, flush this turd, wash our sheets, and make my morning tea with no frickin water! UGH! 

    My son got a baby wipe bath, our sheets are still balled up at the bottom of the stairs, and I had to wait until I got to work to have my tea, but I forgot my tea bags so I had to have the gross Kurig decaf in the teacher's lounge. Blech. Oh, and our bathroom is going to smell super gross because there will be a day old poop hanging out in there when we get home. Awesome.

    My sister -- a textiles major who went to one of the best art schools in the country -- picked out the bridesmaids gowns she wants us all to wear for her wedding this summer.

    Up until now I've been pretty happy that I've made it through 30+ years of life without having to buy one of those notoriously cheap, ill-made bridesmaid dresses straight from Stereotype Heaven, but alas, my streak has finally snapped.

    The best part is that I have absolutely no idea how or if this dress will fit, since I can't try it on now and I won't be able to try it on until probably right before the wedding (allowing for postpartum baby bump deflation, etc.), and the strapless design doesn't exactly scream "nursing bra friendly."

    so, welp

    It's her wedding and I'll wear whatever dress she wants me to wear, but I'm still gonna think WTF on this one.
    I was cleaning out our spare bedroom/home office closet the other night since we are converting it to the nursery, and I found the dress from my sister's wedding last spring.  I immediately threw it in the trash, and it felt so liberating!  It was the most god awful shade of pale yellow (so light that it just looked dingy), and it was so cheaply made that I almost cried when it came in and I realized I would have to wear it out in public and take photos in it that will be saved forever.  It was unlined and made out of this cheap jersey material, so I had to wear Spanx just to hide the underwear lines.  My sister normally has good fashion sense, so I don't know what she was thinking, but it was her wedding so I just smiled and wore it.  I should have burned it instead of just trashing it!

    I'm dealing with a bridesmaids dress from hell situation right now too... one of my best friends is getting married in early April, 4 weeks before my EDD, and really wants me to be in the bridal party. I told her I'd be happy to do all the bridesmaids duties without actually being IN the wedding but she insisted. SO, her sister picked out these heinous, full length, polyester monstrosities from a large chain and I thought I'd be out of the woods since it doesn't come in maternity and I'll be 36 weeks pregnant at the time. But no, didn't get that lucky, the bride found that the company does have a maternity line and picked out a dress in the same length/fabric/color that I could order specially. Obviously I have no effing idea what size I'm going to be and of course I had to order it already so it arrives in enough time to be altered. I'm sure I'll have a grand time at the wedding in my ill-fitting, cheaply made dress, feeling like a whale next to all her super thin and attractive bridesmaids, mere days away from giving birth.

    Ok, so I am a day late on this and I'm sure many people will tell me that my "WTF" isnt justified but here goes!

    WTF to some of my family members. I live on the other side of the planet and wont be having a baby shower because I am not going to be the person that asks my family to spend $2000- $4000 to fly here for me. Because of this I had several people in my family ask me to make a registry so I did. I sent it out almost two weeks ago but people seem to not like the items on my registry because they are all now asking me for my home address so they can buy me items there and ship them to me.

    Yes this might make me sound like a spoiled brat but why ask me to make a registry if you aren't going to use it? I am grateful that they want to participate in this pregnancy from a distance as much as they can but it was actually a pain in the ass to make the darn registry in the first place! There aren't a lot of places that do online registries in NZ and of those a lot of them are really small boutique places that don't have a wide range of items. a USA international registry was out of the question as shipping was costing more than the items themselves.  I'm just so annoyed I wasted time on something that is basically going to go unused.

    Thanks for the bridesmaid horror stories, guys, you make me feel less alone!

    The other thing that's driving me bonkers about her wedding is that it's clear across the country (I'm in Philly, she's in northern CA) and she wants me to bring the futurebaby, who will at that point be about six weeks old, and HAHA NOPE.

    ugh

    I'm planning to trash the dress as soon as the reception's over. I'm not even bringing it back from CA. It is so ugly (it's this dingy grayish-blue, completely unflattering to my complexion, and the fabric is just the cheapest ickiest polyester, and and and... I could go on, but forget it, just imagine a tulle toga the color of diseased dishwater and you've got it) and I can't fathom what my sister is thinking. She's always had great taste. Offbeat, but great. And now this.

    I had the same issue! People complaining that I didn't register for any "big ticket" items. I'm having a shower in California but live in Mexico and won't be able (or willing) to haul big items on the flight home.

    Well shower is today so we will see how it goes!
