WTF Wednesday 13/04

I did not see this started yet, and I have such a good one!
Our electricity cables was stolen AGAIN last night. We live in a security estate - which basically means we pay a lot of money to hide away from crime in this backwards country. But nope, still, they get to us - and this is the second time in less than a month.
Oh! And then we get to the lisencing centre at 6am this morning (this was after we woke up due to the power going out at 2:30) to see that they are closed. With no warning.
WTF Wednesday you suck!!

Re: WTF Wednesday 13/04
Obviously, we've made alternate plans for DS for labor, and dear ole mom will just have to sit in the airport or call someone else for a ride, but I am pissed off at the deliberate disregard for anyone else's time or stress level. I've got enough to worry about without dealing with asinine family.

All day yesterday people were telling me how tired I looked, how I looked so ready to have a baby, etc. I woke up, tried a litttttttttle harder with my appearance because I wanted to try to avoid more unsolicited comments, and I get to work and my secretary told me I am bigger this pregnancy than my last.
OK lady, that was 3 years ago. I gained 47 lbs. I have been more careful and I am 17 lbs under my delivery weight last time. Not appreciated, and not ok.

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!to my principal, who emailed me and told me she had good news so I should call, then I call and she isn't available. I know it's probably that my contract was renewed so just fucking email me.
To the office manager, who when I called to find out the good news said she "had some stuff for me" and maybe I could come on by sometime soon. I live an hour away from my school and part of my reason for going on leave at the start of my 9th month was so I didn't have to make that drive anymore!
To the month of April, for being soooo damn long! And to my paycheck, which doesn't go through until the 25th, which means I have to wait a week and a half to schedule the pedicure and prenatal massage I wanted to get next week.
and do DH (but just a little). He didn't realize baby showers could be co-Ed and now he's sad that I decided not to have one. It made me feel sad that I'd taken that away from him. I gotta think of a way to make it up to him.
I woke up this morning and my husband hadn't gotten home from work yet (he works nights). So I tried getting out of bed and was immediately shot back down with the most intense pain I have ever felt in my stomach. At the very top of my belly, between both sets of ribs, it felt like someone took a shard of glass and ripped me open. I tried for 20 minutes until my husband came home and finally rolled me out of bed so I wouldn't have to use my stomach muscles to get up. Thank god for that man. Has anyone else experienced pain like this? It seemed to get better after some massaging and relaxing.
WTF to my family because I'm feeling like this pregnancy just doesn't matter. This is my first child, and my parents second grandchild (first granddaughter). I moved to Illinois a year and a half ago with my husband because he's a mining engineer. My family all still lives in Utah and none of them have visited us since we moved. My brother and SIL are pregnant with their second (also a girl) but they are 6 weeks behind me in their pregnancy. I've been worried this whole time that my parents care about my brother's future daughter more than they care about mine. With only 6 weeks separating the DDs, I was nervous they might meet my brother's baby before they meet mine. That may seem selfish or silly, but it really makes me feel like they won't care about my daughter. Then yesterday my SIL informed me that they want to schedule her CS only 6 days after my DD. Is that a real possibility?! Because she'll only be 35 weeks pregnant at that time and I didn't think you could schedule a CS before the baby was considered full term. Is this a thing? If so, it makes it seem inevitable that my parents will meet and fall in love with their second granddaughter before they even get to meet their first.
Y'all I can't deal with hot doctors. He's super attractive (not to mention can't be older than 30) and it made me uncomfortable. Lol Fun side note, he asked me (and this was his direct quote) "You're not leaking or anything weird like that, are you?" Ha.. Heh.
Wasn't that an episode of Friends, when Rachel had her baby? Eesh...
@that1didntcount Who does that?! Why can't people just keep their mouths shut??
@LadySamLady I noticed that too! I was a pineapple at 31 weeks according to TB but now 35 weeks is a pineapple??
My WTF is being expected to write "thank you for all of your help" to my MIL in her thank you for the shower, when in reality she arrive 2+ hours AFTER the agreed upon time for set up (she lives 5 minutes away from shower venue), made a big stink on the phone when I called her asking her to bring some cling wrap that we had forgotten, and then stood around while everyone put the venue back together and cleaned up, then left without saying goodbye to me or my family. Can't I just write "thanks for coming?"....
Unfortunately, it sounds like they are going to wait until I go into labor before they make any plans to come visit or see the baby
WTF to my OB office. I go in weekly at this point because they have me labeled as high risk because of my blood pressure (white coat syndrome; my BP shoots up when I go to the doctors because I get severely anxious but its perfect at home) and normally I'm there for about an hour. I get a weekly sonogram, then do my NST, then meet with the doctor to discuss. Despite everything look perfect with the baby and me, minus my spikes in BP, they want to induce me a week or so early, so my husband snuck out of work to come to my appointment so that he could get more information and we could put his mind at ease about the whole thing. Well, the whole OB office took this opportunity to make itself look as incompetent as possible for him. We ended up being there TWO AND A HALF HOURS. First it just took them forever to call me back to the room. Then they left us in the exam room forever. The nurse either never looked at my chart or can't read because she had no idea I was supposed to do the NST, she wanted to swab me again for GBS which I did last week, and then when she finally brought me over to do the NST, she couldn't figure out how to hook up the machine properly. So she hooked up it, couldn't find the my baby's heartbeat, made me hold the monitor in a specific spot even though it wasn't picking anything up, and said she'd let the doctor know it was really working because the baby was so active but they'd let the test run for 20 minutes anyway. WHAT? That makes no sense and also the baby was not moving that I could feel, so lets not blame the fetus for this. So of course I wasted 20 minutes and the doctor came in to check and literally nothing had been recorded. So she finds the baby's heartbeat in like 10 seconds and sets me up to do the test over. At this point, I'm starving, my back hurts from reclining, and my husband is frustrated because nobody is doing their job properly and he is not reassured. I guess the doctor ended up getting tied up with another patient, because she didn't come back for over 30 minutes. She did say that the NST looked great, so that was good, but then I asked her to go over the induction process, risks vs. benefits, etc. for my husband, since that was why he was there, and she must have been flustered because she did a horrible job explaining. She didn't really tell us any risks or benefits, she kind of just talked in circles, and nothing was answered. The good part was that she did reassure me that since everything has been looking really good, that she will try to push the induction date off a little bit more, which is really awesome. Oh and then the nurse came back to take my BP and I'm 99% sure she did it wrong because I was flustered and agitated and hungry, but my BP reading came back perfect. Which works in my favor at this point, so I didn't fight it. But now my husband doesn't trust this place and is annoyed, which is just adding stress on to me since normally they are pretty great and now I feel like I have to defend them to him.
OH and WTF to Verizon, too. They promised us they wouldn't have to do any digging to install Fios for us and then we get home to multicolored spray paint all over the yard and the street AND in front of my neighbors house, all in preparation for a dig to install. So we called and cancelled out of frustration and now we have spray paint all over our yard and street. Basically today has been really stupid. But at least my baby is looking good!!!

Lady. I've been pregnant for 33 weeks now. I haven't felt 'sick' for oh, I don't know, 20 weeks. Despite me telling her, multiple times, that I am not 'sick', she still says the same exact 3 sentences to me.
On another note, she also has NO skills when it comes to speaking with another adult, so I may give her a little slack. I wonder how she gets by in life...
All my labs came back normal. No protein in my urine at all. Blood work came back fine. BP is holding steady... Not as low as I normally was but not super high, but they're pretty sure pre-eclampsia is ruled out and I will probably just need to monitor BP.
The nurse here called for the on call midwife I think an hour and a half ago at least if not longer and they still haven't called back. I can't go home until they call back and let them know what to do with me. No offense but sitting around for 5+ hours in an extremely uncomfortable bed is not my idea of fun so I really wish they would call back already so I can go home.
I had another Wtf but pregnancy brain got the best of me...
Im probably jinxing myself but my cat has been good about the crib. I put one of her beds in he nursery so she has a "spot"' that she can call her own. Worth a shot to see if it works for those of you will cats jumping in the crib.
Here's my WTF - why would you sell a glider/ottoman set, tell me it's still available, give me your phone number and instructions to call when I'm on my way to pick it up, and then not answer your phone or call back? Back to square one on finding a glider.
So it turned into a big fight because when DS was born they also had a scheduled trip and flew out to NYC the day after he was born (which they deny which is ridiculous but whatever). We didn't have another kid so it wasn't as big of a deal, but they offered to be the help this time. My mom kept saying she wouldn't move the trip up because the weather could be worse (they are going to Oregon) and what if they baby came three weeks early? Then the problem wasn't solved at all.
After crying a lot and talking DH we ask our friends, who agree right away to help if something does happen where I go into labor early. Of course after that my parents call to say they will cancel the trip (WTF, why at this point when you were so mean about it?) We said to forget about it; our friends agreed to help and I didn't want to hear about it if the baby doesn't make an appearance during those dates. I don't want to feel guilty about you missing a vacation at this point. So they agree.
Just got a text 30 min ago saying they cancelled it. >:[
I'm grateful but worried now that I won't hear the end of it if baby doesn't come early.
