My 1 year old woke up at 5:30 and wouldn't go back to sleep... I decided to make the best of it and take her and the dog on a walk around 7... We got a quarter mile from home and it started raining on us... Is Monday over yet!?
My blump is uncomfortable in my jeans and I hate that I can't suck it in... I'm also insatiably hungry and have been snacking (mostly healthy ones) all day. The snacking makes me happy but makes the blump worse.. there's no winning and I feel like bitching about it.
I spent a lot of time with DH's (awesome) family on Sat. I literally said about 2 words to my MIL and had to walk away to stop myself from rolling my eyes. She was complaining that DH "always gets hurt when he skis" and that "he's so stupid for going out there." Which is false. He only hurt himself once, 2 years ago. And heaven forbid he do any active activity. Normally, I wouldn't really care, but her complaining about nothing for the sake of complaining was just grating my gears.
And yes, I realize I'm totally just bitching to bitch, but that is what bitchfest is for. And also, I'm pregnant. So there.
I had the great joy of having adult braces. They came off about three weeks ago, and I'm now in a retainer. My teeth hurt. A lot. It's making me feel like a teenager, and I'm really over that feeling.
I still have no boobs, but my nipples are doing weird things. C'mon progesterone!!!!
Pregnancy boob growth doesn't happen to everyone. My boobs never grew when I was pregnant with DS. Even when my milk came in, they were a bit more full right before it was time to feed or pump, but not really bigger in size.
DD 2nd bday was last month. MIL had the face to tell my toddler that she had lost her gift because we didn't go to her business to pick it up. She said that 3 times, and I was biting my tongue...hormones were not helping...until I said " tell grandma that it is the same distance. She can go to our house whenever she wants to drop it off if she really wants to give it to you! She never needed an invitation to go to our house!" We left just after that. WTF is wrong with her???? Does she really needs to tell that to a toddler? Why doesnt she get her car and go there to see her AND to drop her "gift"? Oh that's because I forgot to tell you that her bday party was at her house, she just took some pictures and left! She could have given the gift that day. But no. Who in the world goes away from a party on your own house from your only grandchild????? She always says that she misses her, that she is her life, blablabla but don't show it. If we don't take DD to see her, she does not go to our house. I keep inviting her and I already told her that she can go to my house whenever she wants to please do not wait for an invite. We are about 10 minutes from her house; DD's daycare is TWO blocks away from her house and she does not goes there either. She had asked to put DD in a daycare close to her so she could go and see her often. We did.... but she does not go anyway. We take DD to see her because it is the only grandma she has. Both of my parents passed already. I make sure DH takes her otherwise she will have no memories with any grandma... but it drives me crazy! Thank you... I was really in need of venting and saying how mad I was.
@marajay6 - I had full (but sore) boobs by week 6 last time and this time around, they're still the wilted sandbags left over from nursing my son. It's just weird that everything else is having no problem growing or expanding!!
I sent flowers to my mom FedEx and they refuse to deliver them (since Saturday) because she is not home (work) even though the company contacted them I called and I asked to speak to a manager and the lady hung up on me.
I'm so mad I cried and called my mom. I normally keep a pretty cool temper but I couldn't control the tears.
I'm so unbelievably exhausted from this pregnancy. I was tired when I was pregnant with my boys, but this is the glued-to-the-chair-can't-move pass-out-at-8:30 brand of fatigue. I really hope this passes soon.
I'm booking a trip to visit my grandma and help take care of all the unpleasantries and logistics that have to be dealt with since my grandpa passed. I'll be glad to see her and get things taken care of, but it's not exactly going to be a happy trip. Not so much of a bitchfest, but more of a "man, this sucks."

@ThurstobertayJust wanted to say I'll be thinking of you as you sort through the details following your Grandfather's passing. I've been in similar shoes and I know how hard it can be. I hope you and your Grandmother can take care of each other through this tough time.
I have lots of first world problems..... I made six hard-boiled eggs yesterday and when I went to eat them today they were not cooked long enough so I had to throw all of them away. I have no chocolate or sweets in the house. My work was closed today but I have to work from home when this happens. I thought I finished all my projects Friday so I slacked off today and just realized I totally forgot about one, so now it's 5 and work hours are done but dumb me is just getting started.
@JennM205 Thank you so much for your kind words. I wish no one had to work through these sorts of things, but it's comforting to remember I'm not alone.

I feel bad because I bitched about this on 1/24 check in, but building a house totally sucks! We have been looking forward to this for a long time, but it seems like we are never going to get started. Too much red tape and permits for every little thing. We had an appointment with the excavator today that got cancelled because of the snowstorm. I am just hoping and praying we are in this house before baby comes. I do not want to go through the hassle of moving with a newborn, it's bad enough I'll be 7-8 months pregnant when we do move. Silver lining- I'll be off the hook for all the heavy lifting
@RedMar I don't have boobs either, just annoying nipples that feel like they're on fire whenever anything brushes against them. I feel like if I'm going to have painful nipples I might as well have giant boobs too to make up for it. Grrr

I went to the city obgyn office today rather than the one in the suburbs because I didn't want to wait until tomorrow for an ultrasound. Nothing ever goes right at that office. I was supposed to have ultrasound at 10:45 and see doctor at 11:15. I was called into ultrasound a little early and was back in the waiting room by 11:00. At 11:45 I asked about how late the Dr was running, they came back and said, oh, they're just getting the room ready for you. 12:00 they put me in the room, Dr came about 12:15 as said, I thought I was keeping you waiting, but then they told me you were in ultrasound. I was like "I've been out of ultrasound for over an hour". He was like, "oh, I don't know what happened, I was available". Ugh. I had to call work and arrange more coverage because I was waiting for so long. So annoyed.

Believe me, its not all is cracked up to be. I was a 36 C before LO and now im 38D. Who knows what will happen with this pregnancy. Ill probably be a 42G
I haven't left the house much in the last few days between my nausea and a sick LO. So today I started to run some errands and apparently driving around in my car makes me extremely nauseous. I had to pull over twice Im beginning to think EVERYTHING makes me nauseous. Except sitting on the couch eating french fries. Please tell me this will be over in a few weeks! PAHLEEEEEESE!!!!
I feel like absolute shit and my husband keeps calling me dramatic...I'm going to murder him
I'm with you. DH has been incredibly insensitive lately. Making exasperated comments about how he's ready for me to feel better. Yeah, you and me both buddy. Came home from work tonight and says, "How are you feeling? Crappy, I assume?" All with this tone that says it all, "Just suck it up already." I get that me being sick affects him too but come on! I'm pretty sure I have the worst end of the deal at the present moment.
@noelani42 and @JennM205My pregnancy hormones just flared reading both of your posts! Lol. I am so frustrated for you after reading the lack of empathy from your partners. I have been lucky to avoid the MS and what not but boy are my hormones ranging. I am sure they are great guys and you are venting at their comments but now I am venting about you both not getting showered with understanding.

@blondie080300 Thanks for the support and the little giggle when reading your post. I needed that! You're right, DH is generally a pretty great guy even though he's been lacking in the empathy department lately. It's been a tough week all around. Hoping next week is better. Looking forward to being "showered with understanding" as you say.
My bitch is really not a big deal but my EDD was changed and I'm a week less along than I thought! Worse, my midwife told me she recommends they induce me as soon as its medically responsible (39 weeks) because my labor was so fast last time (2 hours) and they're afraid I might not make it to the hospital, which is over an hour away, this time. Induction was a huge fear of mine last time and I was so happy I didn't have to deal with it, so this scares me a bit.. On the plus side I got to see my little bean and hear the heartbeat

This was DH when I was pregnant with DD. The first time I was hospitalized for dehydration he was like oh my god you're fine just go back to sleep. I literally screamed at him and told him I was driving myself to the Hospital. He was swearing and yelling and then eventually drove me. I informed the doctor of my "drama" and he very sternly corrected my husband and told him I was so severely sick we could've lost DD and me. He apologized for weeks after.

I keep waiting for all the dear diary/special snowflake posts to be called out but they are not. I really want to put this on like 10 of the recent posts.
@Shiva14 Sorry to hear your due date was pushed back. That happened to me with DD...it was only a difference of 5 days so inconsequential in the long run but it was a TOUGH pill to swallow when I thought I was 7 weeks pregnant and then had to readjust my mind to being only 6! And I second your fear of inductions. Sorry that's on the table for you, especially already at this early stage. But yay for u/s and heartbeat!!!
