    Today it's DH.  He won't even consider rescheduling a soccer game for 7-8 year olds that conflicts with DD's travel dance competition (that has been on the calendar since August).  Nevermind that it's 4 days before my due date.  I am so pissed.  Won't even consider it.  So I will take her an hour and a half away (which is 2.25 hours from my hospital) either VERY pregnant or with a newborn.  It's all good, I am supermom.  Jerkface.

    The twatwaffle nod goes out to my best friend's sister who is having an affair. Have your stupid affair but please don't involve my friend in your subterfuge. My poor best friend is losing sleep over having to lie to family. Ugh.

    Twatwaffle Tuesday shout out to my AC, which stopped working yesterday. Does this inanimate object understand that I'm pregnant and located in Texas? I damn near slid out of my bed this morning (cotton sheets) after not sleeping all night. I just laid there, sweating and hating life. Now I have to try to fix it before I call the rental company, because they charge to come fix anything that could be done ourselves. Even if they do send someone, it probably won't be for a couple of days because it isn't "hot enough" to be considered an emergency. Umm, hormones ARE an emergency. I'm tired AF and someone is getting punched today. 

    On top of that, my cats seems to be playing hide & seek with my ID, so I need DH to chauffeur me around because I can't get on post without a military ID. He got stuck at traffic at the gate so he's late picking me up, which means I won't have time for breakfast before work because I need to shower. I want a do-over.

    TW goes out to work. It's officially March and I've got 30 days left. My boss is still avoiding me so he doesn't have to make any decisions about filling my position...

    Also, my dog decided to be a butt this morning and go dig up my yard. He found construction debris and decided to bring it all up on our deck for us. So it's still sitting out there because I didn't want to bend over to pick it up and DH was still asleep...

    Everyone I have talked to the last few days is a twatwaffle. If one more person says "wow, you've dropped! You're never going to make it to your due date!" I will lose my ever loving shit. I'm stressed enough about not getting all of my work obligations done before my maternity leave. You're not helping!!
    I've actually been thinking that LO has dropped, and that terrifies me. I've had an easier time breathing and if I put my hand at the top of the bump, there's now a gap between my boobs and baby.

    @fbanke42 @k&elizabeth Not to derail our Twatfestivities, but does dropping have a real correlation to labor incoming? Mine dropped at 30 weeks and I'm on epilepsy meds that have preterm labor as a common side effect, so if this is a real possibility I'm kinda ... Scurred.

    For FTMs, you could drop WEEKS before you actually go into labor. STMs tend to drop right before labor. LO may have just lowered and not have actually DROPPED.

    ^^^Agreed.  DD dropped three weeks before her Dd and went another 9 days before she had to be induced.

    TWT first goes to DH... Yell at me on the phone cuz I missed your phone call about eliminating a bird from the first floor? Thanks but an emergency? I think not. My irritation clearly heard by DD which causes my next TWT to go to her. Just stop. What I say goes and no amount of whining/crying/yelling/bullshit is going to get me change my mind.  I'm the mom, you're three, STFU.
    And to round out TWT, I'll take the final award. Stop letting your three year old trigger you. Fucked up the whole morning including dropping her off at preschool in a shirt that's clearly too small, forgetting her book, and forgetting her stuffed animal.
    Pffffttttttt. Can I get a do over?

    ETA - fuck you too grammar.

    I've been carrying low this entire pregnancy and officially "dropped" like three weeks ago. Hasn't done anything to speed up labor as far as I can tell (I mean, he IS still baking) but it has made walking/sleeping/moving at all/existing more painful...

    TW goes to my mom. She didn't speak to me for a few days after I set some boundaries last week. Now she calls me up with an attitude as if no one cares about her and what not. So dramatic! Yes it's her first grandchild but it's our first baby! And we get to decide how we manage help, visitors, and events after he arrived. For goodness sake can we at least just focus on him baking a bit longer??

    My TWT goes to the receptionist at my specialists office. She's such an unfriendly bitch. I can't stand dealing with her. She's very snappy and is just all around unfriendly. This morning, when I was scheduling my next few appointments, I said "Only a few more left" (I'm weekly now), and then I asked about when/if I go into labor do I need to contact them as well as my OB....meaning does my Perinatologist need to know when I am in labor or should I just left them know after delivery and she snottily says, "Well, yea so we can cancel your appointments and schedule other people." No fucking shit, Sherlock. That wasn't actually my question.

    So my coworker's last day is tomorrow (yay) and I just got his original project dumped on me. It's not huge, so I can get it done unless DD2 decides to come in the next two weeks. What makes him the biggest TW is this was my project 2 YEARS AGO and he's done zero work on it. My boss was having him work on it because he needed a short project since coworker was suppose to be here 6-9 months, but it's been over two years now. The reason the samples haven't so much as been touched is because he doesn't find it interesting. It's a collaboration, no one cares if you find it interesting.  Just do the work, get your name on the publication and call it a day.

    TWT goes to the weather.  It's been in the 80s for weeks in SoCal and the first of a four-storm series is set to roll in Sunday, the day of my baby shower. Now we have to re-think everything for indoors at my sister's house. I know we are in a drought and I know our weather has been ridiculous for this time of year, but seriously??? That DAY??  F that.

    (And I love the rain too, so this is just.....100% all twatwaffle.)

    My TWT goes out to my renter who showed up late for the final walk through today (not surprised) and who decided to fight every single thing on the list that would be deducted from the security deposit.  1) you knew for a fact the vanities were new you requested the old one be replaced.  So the bent roller track for one of the drawers is in fact your fault along with the Crack in the top...I don't want to know how that happened.  2) You can't deny the "dents" in both garage doors when they are consistent with your son's basketball that you have yet to pick up and throw in the car.

    But I am thankful he showed up.  Had he not, we would have had to file a lot of court paperwork because our county is stupid and even though the lease is up views the tenant as occupying and we could touch any of his property let alone get the house on the market.

    DH. He expects me to be happy that he got a job interview for a job in the middle of the Canadian wilderness, 6 hours away from a significantly sized town and 3 das away from any frI ends or family. I'm not supposed to express any negative emotions at all because that's not "supporting" him. He thinks we are moving there....

    I would have to say DH's best friend, who is also going to be the godfather. I drove DH 30 minutes to the town over yesterday so he could take his permit test, and he failed twice so had to wait to take it again until today. So yesterday I have DH text his best friend about the rule we had in place, which was "no gaming" until he had his permit. Game days are Tuesdays. So his friend sends him a very angry, pointed text that did not necessarily mention I was bitch, but heavily implied it. I got really pissed off at this point because DH had four weeks basically to get that permit, learn to drive, and get a license. All of which his friend should have understood because I'm their freaking taxi whenever they need it, and I won't be driving anywhere after the baby is born for at least a couple weeks. Well let's just say a lot of respect has been lost after him freaking out that his buddy might not be able to game today (of which he didn't even offer to help DH study or anything to actually solve the potential issue). Which all in all doesn't matter anymore because DH took the test today and passed, so he has his permit and can go gaming. But now I'm going to be over at his house tonight, and I'm not looking forward to any of the very possible ignorant remarks that might be made. At least I get DH all day Thursday to teach him how to drive. If the baby comes early though, they are all screwed and can find a new freaking taxi.

    TWT goes to DH who thinks it's stupid to try a med free birth and to breastfeed. He doesn't understand why I wouldn't get the epidural if I could have it. That's fine, you don't have to understand or agree with me, but you have to at least SUPPORT MY DECISION! He also thinks that I should give full control to the doctors and just do a csection...umm 1) doctor already has as much control as they can. The baby is the one with complete control though. 2) doctors wont do a csection unless medically necessary. It's considered a major surgery and no doctor wants to do that unless necessary. So not really sure why you think going med free is not giving control over to the doctors. Makes no sens to me. Maye one of you can explain that to me.

    Oh! I have another! 

    As I was chatting with DH's wonderful friend who was putting together our baby furniture for us (without my even having to ask), he mentioned that his wife had 2 c-sections for their girls. I asked why that was. 

    That's when (childless) Friend #2 chimes in and tells me how in Brazil, "everybody has a c-section. They won't even consider a vaginal delivery in most hospitals. They think it's primitive. C-sections are healthier for everybody involved." 

    Then he looks at me expectantly, waiting for the moment where I realized he had changed my life with this revelation, I guess?

    TW goes to my DH as well, related to the TDAP booster. I've been talking to him for 2 months about it, because he needs to get a booster for sure, and because he needs to find out if any of the kids are due for one (I'm not authorized as stepmom to see their records, ugh). So I was asking him last night as we were getting ready for bed if he had some sort of reminder set up because he's done nothing to follow through. Somehow this leads to him telling me he really doesn't want to get it because he doesn't think it's necessary since it wasn't recommended when his boys were born (the youngest is 6, and I repeatedly told him this is a newer recommendation because pertussis has made a comeback), and because he thinks it's better for the body to develop natural immunity and that's why his immune system is better than mine. Um, WHAT. If you really believe that, you wouldn't get any vaccine, ever, and also, you're wrong, because SCIENCE. He asked why the baby couldn't just get the vaccine. I explained she will, but not until she's 2 months old, and he needs to be vaccinated to help protect her until then. He eventually agreed, begrudgingly, to get the vaccine, but basically refused to admit that this isn't in my head. I was pretty worked up and spent a few hours sleeping on the couch because I just didn't want to be next to him at that point. But, he called today and scheduled an appointment for tomorrow, so at least there's that.

    TW goes to my freaking dad. Who is currently trying to guilt me into inviting my mom (divorced from dad), up for the birth.
    Mom and I have a volatile relationship, and she makes me crazy. I don't want her here. I thought this was established.. But now dad is asking for hotel recommendations so he can book a place for THEM to stay, 'if I decide to let my mom witness the birth of her first grandchild'.

    Freaking A!

    The mama bear in me says to show him a video of an infant with pertussis, then ask if he's really such a little b*tch that he won't get a shot to prevent a newborn from that suffering. good for you for sticking to your guns and for not dragging him to the doctor by his ear. You're a better person than I am.

    Second one goes to my DH.

    My waxing lady is doing me the favor of coming to my place since I'm on rest. She had to reschedule for today and I had told my DH.l (he was fine with it).  Now he's giving me a guilt trip and asking why I need to get waxed. He teases me about being "furry" and I hate shaving. Bummer it had to be when he gets home but come on! He knew ahead of time!!

    I can totally relate! I live in Northern Cal and it's been beautiful for WEEKS.. And it's going to rain this weekend. My shower is this Sunday too and I'm bummed about the rain. Yeah, yeah we need the rain, but do we need it THIS SUNDAY? Booo!

    I do love waffles, but I've found that calling someone a twatwaffle is much more socially acceptable than a certain 4-letter word that starts with a C. It seems that one is frowned upon in many social circles...
    I like both words...

    @Knottie9983816 as do I, but not everyone appreciates just how ladylike I am. 

    Also, final shout out to my sister. If throwing me a baby shower is going to be too much of a hassle/put everyone out, then don't throw one! I've already bought everything I need and I've said from the beginning I don't want one anyway. Don't make me the bad guy for coming home on an inconvenient weekend and don't make it out like I'm selfish for wanting to be able to schedule newborn photos. Ugh.
