Ah, this is perfect timing!

So since I am barely at 7 weeks, we are not announcing my pregnancy on SM yet (probably will wait until anatomy scan at 20 weeks to do so). We've told a few people (parents and siblings and a couple of friends). Well, MIL, bless her heart, doesn't quite understand FB. She has expressed that she wants to buy the crib for the baby (very generous) and is very excited. Well, Saturday night she posted a link to a crib she liked on my FB wall! It was 10:40 pm and I was asleep. I woke up with the notification at 5:00 am and tried to delete it immediately and FB wouldn't let me. So I went to my FB wall to remove it from there and it was gone. MIL says she sent it as a PM (no she didn't) and SIL says she told her to delete it. But MIL says she didn't delete it. I don't know where it went but I'm glad it's gone.

I'm hoping not many people saw it but one of my BFFs did and texted me. She said she knew because I wasn't drinking at the Super Bowl party but was going to wait to say anything. I had planned to tell her after my appointment tomorrow and i hate she found out on FB.

I told MIL that I'm glad she's excited but not to use FB to show me things. she can either text, email, or just wait until I see her,

I have a "puking protocol" that I follow in order to get out of there as if it never happened. Hair ties, mouthwash, face wipes... all ready to go at the drop of a hat. Well, nothing could have prepared me for the awfulness that was this morning. Here is where there may be TMI, so if you don't care for grossness... it's coming...

The second wave of pukiness caused a splash. Said splash got all over my face and in my hair. Puked banana and toilet water don't make for a nice perfume. So I had to shower. Again. And when I got to work an hour and a half late, because of having to re-start my morning routine, I answered all of the "why" questions with the truth. Stop being so nosey co-workers! Gosh!

br0co1ii · February 2016

@emmaaa Oh God! I'm never announcing on FB, so that would send me into a fury! I hope many people didn't see that. I had an aunt post on my wall her address so I could send her wedding invite. She totally didn't understand how scary that could be.

emmaaa · February 2016

@br0co1ii I was so mad and she knew it. She felt bad for it but that doesn't change what already happened. I told DH that if she can't understand how FB then she doesn't need to use it.

smmatt08 · February 2016

My terrible, horrible, no-good boss will be in town for the next 3 days. Fortunately I don't have to deal with her on daily basis since she works out of a different office, but I am seriously dreading her being here. Especially with my pregnancy bitchiness and nausea.

annabenanna · February 2016

@emmaaa , omg that's awful! I know FB is tricky that way. I have avoided "liking" certain groups or articles on FB that are related to pregnancy because I know that some of those "likes" are seen by friends. Don't want them getting ideas!

PeggyOlsonFTW · February 2016

I'm so tired. DS went to bed late and was up all night for no reason. He hit the wall around 10am and was a whiny, cranky, crying mess til he went down for a nap around 12:15. I'm uber bitchy, so so so tired and DH is working late tonight.

CopperBoom86 · February 2016

@emmaaa - That's awful! Maybe you could tell anyone who noticed that your MIL was just pressuring you to conceive. I think anyone of child-bearing age or older would believe and understand that. We have people asking us weekly when we're going to have a baby.

DoubleAteam · February 2016

Last night I (tmi) puked I felt the nauseous unable feeling come on and I tried making it to the kitchen to grab an empty water or juice jug since this is my 4th and bladder wasn't very strong last time I was PG but I realized I couldn't wait so ran in the bathroom and hardly made it in when you know grossness happened. So of course I had to clean up the and the bathroom and myself before heading back to my room feeling like crap. Today I feel really crabby hoping and praying I can keep everything down. Oh plus my little boy decided to get up at 4:30am and stay up till 8:30am and then take a nap till 10am he has been crabby all morning trying to get him to take a nap but he doesn't seem to want to. Also I am having to start weaning him which I have never done and he is a mommy's boy who is most likely going to break my heart thru this progress...

Kaytee1087 · February 2016

Where do I start...
**Warning: This is a long one**

So I wrote last week about how my MIL magically found the BRU registry I made to collect ideas. On Saturday I got a text from my sister in law saying that she was looking up our wedding registry (we got married in Oct 2014) and also magically found the one The Bump so kindly linked with. I thwarted her saying I'm on the TTGP board here and am not really sure how they came up with a due date (it was wrong anyway, and listed in my maiden name? Anyway I digress...).

Then I got started to get super irritated the more I thought about it, so I texted her a few minutes later saying "So I have one more thing to say on the subject and then I'm gonna let it go. If/when we get pregnant, this may be the only child we have together. If the announcement or anticipation gets ruined because family was snooping, I don't know that I'll be forgiving. So keep that mind the next time you're, you know, looking for my wedding registry 18 months later."

She said she didn't have money when we got married (she legitimately was unemployed) and wanted to get us something now that she has a job (she's been there a year, so something for our anniversary would have been way more believable). She sent me a screen shot of her Google search, and I just played along and said that's fine, but now you know how I feel.

And then, long story short I was at a bachelorette party this weekend at an indoor water park and came home exhausted. Like I got home at 4, took a nap at 6, put DD to bed at 8, laid back down at 8:15, and slept until my alarm went off this morning at 6:25. DH wakes up with my alarm and kind of snuggles up against me, rubbing his hips on me and I'm just thinking "I don't have time for this this morning... I have to pee really bad, take a shower, get DD ready for school..." so I just don't react and he moves away and starts sighing and making angry noises and then gets out of bed. I ask him if he's ok, he says he just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I'm inclined to leave it there, but no, he proceeds to completely fly off the handle at me about how long it's been since we've been intimate (it was Friday...).

I was floored. He NEVER acts out like this, it was so weird. It continued after my shower, even after I said we should probably just stop talking until this evening since we were both clearly fired up about it, and it was bothering me so much still after I left the house that I dry heaved in the car and had to pull off to either calm myself down, or throw up. Luckily once I stopped driving and was able to focus on my breathing, I was able to chillax and keep down my breakfast.

DH finally apologized around noon, saying he didn't mean to be such an asshole this morning and he loved me. I was trying to come up with something witty and guilt-trippy to say but finally just settled on I love you, too. I figured there was no need to stoke the fire if it burned out already.

Oh, and right after I get to work (so like 20 minutes after my blow up with DH), a coworker starts bitching passive-agressively behind me and I say out loud "could everyone just stop attacking me today!" and the secretary who sits next to me and had to cover for me last week when I took a sick day said "I hope they do attack you! Friday was awful! I mean, not forever, just for today." I know she was being sarcastic, but what the hell, lady?!

I'm sorry this was so long, but I needed to get all this stupid crap off my chest.
It was quite the last 24 hours!!

kpalt · February 2016

I had a IF dx and when telling my SO, my mom and a close friend that I was pregnant they each said something along the lines of "see I knew you just needed to chill out and RELAX and it would happen". It makes me seethe. I didn't get pregnant because I didn't chart or "obsess" this month (their words, they were laughing that I would calculate the direction of the wind.....I temped, used OPKs and logged it in FF).

I love that I got a surprise BFP, but I hate that I'm now proof that my family and friends were "right" saying "relax and it will happen".

smmatt08 · February 2016

I have another because I am feeling extra bitchy today…

I was just in the kitchen at work toasting my eggo waffles when a lady came in and said “yum, lucky you eating waffles!” If only she knew that I am eating waffles at lunchtime because it’s basically the only thing I can stomach right now. Ugh, eye roll.

cd92007 · February 2016

This is more of a complaining post. And I know I am so lucky to have this baby (especially since I had a bleeding scare) but the extreme nausea is making me so anxious/depressed. I feel somewhat decent between 11-2 but any other hour I'm in the sofa with debilitating nausea and feel worthless. And not to mention throwing up triggers my anxiety so I'm just constantly anxious all the time and I take Zofran which helps a little but that makes me anxious too. I also can't sleep (at most 4 hours) and can barely eat and I feel like a crap mom to my almost two year old. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time but this pregnancy is so hard so far. Ok thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

br0co1ii · February 2016

can I just say, I love all of these today. I mean, I'm not happy that we are having such awful days/weeks, but it's so nice to be able to bitch about this shit with people who understand. You ladies are all amazing. I'm feeling extra lovey right now towards all of you!

MRSCORKER · February 2016

Somone on my floor is singing. It's an open cube layout so we try to keep quiet so as not to disturb the people around us. Apparently this person didn't get that memo because they think it's ok to sing along to their ipod as they work. I'm about to get stabby.

freckledlemonade · February 2016

I thought all day nausea and vomiting was as bad as it could get. Well, dd got a stomach virus and spent the entire weekend puking everywhere. I felt so bad for her, each time she would cry and yell "No! No!" And I would about lose it and throw up myself every time. Today she's been telling me, "My burps are all gone."

And I'm just gonna add to the bitchfest about morning sickness. If this pregnancy is anything like my last one, MS is here to stay until about week 20. I just don't know how I can do it. My poor dd is fending for herself most days. All I can do is cry and hope it ends sooner than the last one. Even medication isn't stopping the nausea/vomiting, although I'm sure it'd be worse unmedicated. How do you get through this and take care of a toddler? Trying not to go down a tunnel of despair.

kmalls · February 2016

Vague, rambling, nonsensical intros (without punctuation). WHYYYYYY??

queen_frostine · February 2016

I have to bitch about the worst heartburn I have ever experienced. Friday I got heartburn pretty bad and was up half the night. It eventually subsided. Then last night I got heartburn again and it would. not. go. away. no matter what I did! I was laying on the floor propped up on cushions just counting as high as I could before I couldn't bear the pain anymore and had to try to find a new position (and start counting again). I threw up twice. Finally this morning I took some Zantac that expired four year ago and, eventually, started to feel better, but I still feel like there's an open wound in my middle. I swear it felt the whole night like there was a sword through me. I started wondering at what point you go to the emergency room because your innards have clearly burned their way out, or if it was really an ectopic pregnancy and I was just feeling it in the wrong place or something.

Also, I ended up having to miss work, which is really bad. I wanted to save my sick leave for birthing since my leave won't be paid. I teach college, so I don't get as much time off as a regular job (like my husband) because my schedule is flexible and they expect us to be able to work most things around it. Now I have to rework all my schedules and pray that I don't get taken out of commission again. I am not planning on disclosing to work until after 12 weeksish, so I don't want them to know, either. If anyone asks, I'm going to say I gave myself food poisoning, which I kinda did by feeding myself too much bad food.

mizzkbrat · February 2016

So we are going to do the genetic testing and find out what we are having on march 14th. We are going to do a gender reveal and I've thrown out the date March 26th to everybody. Duh Easter is on the 27th and BF's family has their annual family reunion on the Saturday before Easter.So I checked in with people and told then to mark April 2nd on their calendar.

I text my mother and tell her that..she goes well if your test is the 14th why do we have to wait so long? So I explained why and she goes "hopefully our stuff counts too." I said "huh?" she goes "seems his family has priority." I said "no? if you guys said the 2nd didn't work, we would change the date? Why have a family reveal when half of the family isn't there?" she goes "we didn't find out you were pregnant until a week after them" I said "yah because I was too busy running around buying stuff to make your reveal special. You found out before his dad, and we just said 'hey we're pregnant' no special gift or anything..I could have told you that way!" No response. So since this pregnancy has cleared me of my crying bones and made me a total bitch, I said "keep it up and his family will be in the delivery room and you wont...watch what you say, you're not being fair." (oops)

She's since said she was over it and was frustrated because she couldn't find something, but dont go crying to me because you didn't find out first. Sorry I was trying to make it special. Good freaking LORD!

alysie89 · February 2016

It's a long one...

So today I got a phone call about some construction we are having done on our farm, it's about 1/4 km down the rd. And they're trying to ask me over the phone where to build a wall and apparently my answers weren't good enough. So they wanted me down the road in 5 munutes to talk. I have to get shoes and coats on 2 kids, warm up my car, and buckle kids into car seats. Did I mention it's 715 am and I'm still trying to get one kid packed for preschool!
So I made it and quickly chatted when I was informed that they need me to help fill and load growing bags for the tomatoes into the greenhouse. A little warning would be nice....so I immediately have to hop in my car, run dd to preschool and my mom couldn't help make grow bags due to a herniated disc in her back so she offered to watch ds. But... with my nausea doing 1075 squats to make and place 30 to 40 pound bags filled with woodchips made me throw up 4 times. Seriously couldn't people give me a little warning?
Never mind the fact that everything I had planned and on the go for the day was thrown out the window!

TKBain · February 2016

Can we just talk about the inconsiderate coworkers and the smells they create? I sit fairly far from the kitchen (like 50 feet or something like that) but this one....person...like to microwave (look away if the thought of smells make you queasy) tuna. Seriously? I'm sure its tasty to you but OMG the smell travels all the way to my desk and in order for me to leave the smell, I first have to walk towards it, pass the kitchen and hope to goodness that the other kitchen I have to walk through to get to fresh outdoor air doesn't have a smell!! I kind of wonder if I should have a heart to heart with this person and be like can you either give me a heads up when you are going to do this or maybe just not do it anymore or if I can go to our facilities department and ask them to send another nastygram email to the company about being a good cube employee - no smelly lunches, go easy on the perfume, use your indoor voice when on the phone, etc.

UponAStar16 · February 2016

Going to try to keep the language appropriate for this one but it's pretty difficult...for me naturally, plus in extra lovely situations. This woman walking her dog in my neighborhood somehow let it get loose and it sprinted down the block, ran out to cross the street to get to me and my (gentle, oblivious 15-year-old) dog, and got injured when it got hit by a car right in front of us. I'm having a mix of feelings but in the interest of today's bitchfest I'm pissed that this irresponsible person put us at risk because she chose a pet she can't control, pissed I had to see it, pissed that the poor driver had to go through that, etc. It sounds horrible to say but we were lucky it got stunned and stopped in its tracks because this woman was pretty useless and I don't think I could have done much to protect myself or my oldest furbaby if it had reached us

fayejo · February 2016

@emmaaa when I was pregnant with my first I shut down my wall so I have to approve anything anyone puts on there. Also helpful for when you have the baby and you don't want others announcing it!

blaf322 · February 2016

My employees... I. Just. CAN'T. I had to have a conversation with one of my employees today about basically not doing her job at all on Friday. Her reasoning, she was just feeling off and spent part of the day crying in the bathroom. REALLY?! Are we in high school?! I'm sorry, but this is work, be professional, get your shit together and work. Or, if you can't do your job because you've got too much going on, come to me and talk to me about it. I'm not in the same state as the office so I'm not there to know what's going on with you. COMMUNICATE WITH ME and if you need to, take the day off. I am super understanding but to just not fill me in on the fact that you basically didn't work at all on Friday. NOPE! Pissed the eff off!

Edited to add: And, let me say, I was really understanding when she let me know she was going to be an hour late for work. I was still understanding when she just didn't show up until 2.5 hours late (vs the 1hr that she let me know about). I was also really understanding when she said she needed to leave at 3pm that day, with no notice. Whatever, I get it, you're having a rough day. But for the 4 hours you were there, do your work!

Cubslove12 · February 2016

I work with a bitch! A little background Info, I teach special education. And I'm currently pregnant with my rainbow baby I had a miscarriage in Nov/Dec.

Last time I was pregnant I announced it to my office and 5 min later when we were discussing my student having difficulty passing an elective class due to lack of modifications she blamed the one teacher for recently being on maternity leave and the other for being currently pregnant.

She doesn't know I'm currently pregnant but, once again started complaint that one of our male teachers is going on paternity leave soon and why does he need 10 days? Then is all nice to his face saying how great it is for the baby etc...

On top of that she constantly jokes with another teacher whose engaged that she'll be the case manager sub for her next year when she has the oops baby to which the other teacher responds that won't be happening because that would be the worst thing that could ever happen!

They don't know I'm currently pregnant but, they both know I recently had a miscarriage and am trying to get pregnant!! Seriously how insensitive!!

rhenson1 · February 2016

I made my first appointment today and it feels like it is forever away. They normally make them around 9-10 weeks, but we just couldn't find an appointment to fit my schedule so my first appointment isn't until 12 weeks. It wouldn't be so bad, but we are waiting until after the first appointment to tell family and I see my mom and MIL about 3 to 4 times a week so it is going to be difficult to keep it a secret that long!

puppymom3 · February 2016

I cannot stand my step-daughter recently and today is no better. Everything she says and does irritates me since about week 5 of this pregnancy (I am 7w4d now)! DH isn't too much better today, after getting home late tonight and being super irritating about dinner, etc. I hate feeling like this, it's miserable!! I even yelled at my dogs today, which rarely happens

celette482 · February 2016

People I work with (not really coworkers, more like other people I come in contact with daily through the course of my job) are being absurd as of late. Just unnecessary drama and hoop-jumping and pregnancy has taking my "Give a Hoot" bone out entirely.

kayyx · February 2016

tmi but piles ALREADY! I'm so pissed

Kaytee1087 · February 2016

@rhenson1 I feel your pain. We live with my mom, so she knows just because she's there, but we see his family multiple times a week. They're already getting suspicious! Plus I work with my dad, but haven't told him yet. Reasoning is that if we didn't live with my mom, I wouldn't have told her yet, so we aren't telling anyone (else) until we hear a heartbeat.
Secrets are hard, especially when you're excited by them!

@fayejo That's a good idea! I'm trying to figure out how to do it but can't. Any suggestions?
