I love my DH, but he has been annoying the crap out of me lately! Yesterday he asked what I wanted for dinner and I told him a regular house salad, no onions, with ranch. Not too difficult, nothing weird. He brings me bbq ranch chicken salad...WTF?! Now I applaud him for bring sweet and trying, but seriously.
He leaves for work before I do so when he gets up this morning he starts humming his alarm clock song with it. Then goes to the bathroom, which is right next to our bedroom, and turns the light on being extra loud. I've politely asked him to shut the bedroom door in the morning if he's going to turn on every light in the house, but it hasn't sunk in yet. Makes me so ragey!
@nataliemaephotography I feel for you! Mine has been getting on my nerves too! He gets up three hours before me and sets 4 alarms. They all went off and he turned them all off and overslept! Then he made so much noise racing around our room trying to get ready on time.
My FFFC: Hubby and his twin got in a HUGE fight last night. They both spent a good hour on the phone with me saying they were done with the other, and my BIL said he was done with me and my son too. Honestly, I hope they both mean it. My BIL....and my MIL too....are toxic people and I really don't want that in my kids lives. My son has enough to deal with and I don't want it around the baby ever.
I used the "morning sickness" excuse to come in late to work today and sleep in an extra hour and a half. It was glorious. But, I actually felt fine this morning, just really tired.
My DH is a super sensitive guy, it's one of the things I love most about him. He is so excited for this baby and it warms my heart to see his excitement and his love for this baby grow. However, he basically cries every time we talk or plan for this baby. He cried in carter's looking at clothes, and he cried yesterday in a restaurant when we were talking to a mom with her 3 month old. When I say cry, I just mean his voice cracks and his eyes tear up, he isn't bawling into a napking or anything but I have to confess that it's starting to get on my nerves. He keeps saying what a mess he'll be during the delivery and I'm thinking, dude, I'm the one pushing a person out of me. You're going to need to hold it together. Maybe my hormones are raging and it's making it a little more annoying than it would normally be. I mean, at first it was really sweet but I don't know... get it together man.

@MRSCORKER Oh man, I don't know what I would do. I almost got mad last time FI got teary eyed and emotional, I'm sitting there thinking "WTF? Sucks it up and be MY rock dude!" Selfish, yes I know. I guess I've just been raised to have certain expectations for my genteman partner. But I understand he is going through things now too.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that he's a sensitive guy. I don't know why it's getting on my nerves when it's usually something I find endearing. I guess I thought it would have started to sink in by now and his emotions would be in check. Also, I realize we will be emotional and will probably cry when we meet our baby but the way he's talking about it, he's making it sound like I should prepare to labor alone while he cries in the corner.

@AllyTheKid Blasphemy!!! Since I got to probably high school I shave my legs a minimum of 5 days a week (and never skip more than one day in a row) every single week, every season, every year. But then again, I am a hair wildebeest with super dark leg hair that is also super itchy, so.... I dread getting bigger and having it be more difficult to shave in the coming months... I need to save some money for a nice leg wax.
@MRSCORKER My husband and I got in a huge blowup the other day and we both ended up crying. I cried for a couple minutes and moved on. DH cried, got over it, cried again, got over it, then cried again some more. I kept being like "It's okay, it's okay. We're fine." So even though the fight started with HIM being the ding dong, it ended with ME having to comfort him and calm him down like a big ole baby. And all I kept thinking is "Dude, I'm the one who's pregnant and hormonal and I've already moved past this fight. Get it together, man!"
I put EVERYTHING in the dishwasher. Non-stick pans, my nice chef knives, even all the cheapo plastic crap they say will give you cancer if you heat it.

This is my FI.... Like he cries over everything and I'm all I can't cry this pregnancy so I've faked cried to make him feel better about his crying. But dude...please...get it together. I can't be a B for the both of us.
Why does my husband leave his breakfast yogurt bowl in the sink, all caked in yogurt - when the dishwasher is LITERALLY right next to it?? It seriously grosses me out every morning when I wake up and walk into the kitchen (he leaves before I get up for work...). Wouldn't it be just as easy to stick it in the dishwasher?? I've asked him multiple times and he claims he doesn't want to make any noise. How would that be noisy? Unless he's standing in the living room and throwing it into the dishwasher, it should be just as silent as leaving it in the sink. *SIGH*
I'm so glad I'm not the only one whose husband's sensitivity can get irritating every once in a while! He is such a sweet man and I love him so so much, and I love that he has a tender heart. But every so often it's like . . . dude, pull yourself together. I'd like to be the one to fall apart and you can be the rock. :-P

@bamacoop #longhairdon'tcare haha in my defense, my body hair is practically invisible. I am super pale with super light hair and I don't expose my legs without some kind of tights, hose etc. anyway I honestly only shaved as a Favor to poor FI!
@mrszoess How long does waxing last? And is it super messy or expensive?
@allythekid I go every 5 weeks. I prepay 12 of each service (eyebrows Brazilian and legs) so I don't have to pay each time. I just reupped and it was 3 installments of 262 which sounds like a lot but is worth every penny.
and it's not messy. sometimes I find stray wax on my underwear but whatever lol
@MRSCORKER Oh I know you can appreciate sensitivity to an extent, it's nice to know our dudes have feels, but I definitely understand enough being enough and getting it together to make it to end game with some sanity and security. @mizzkbrat I've had to fake cry, and on some levels I had force myself to care during certain "meltdowns". His aren't JUST pregnancy related though so I'm having a tough time being empathetic lately. I must sound like a horrible, stone hearted woman right now...
If I'm going to take a bath, I take a shower first so I am clean when getting into the tub. (Bath taking was someone's UO yesterday). I think my solution is more of a confession--my husband thinks I'm crazy. And, if there are a lot of bubbles, I might hop in the shower after so I rinse all the suds off.
@mrszoess that actually sounds like a pretty damn good idea, my brows, legs, and bikini line could always use a little extra TLC. Not to mention it would be soooo nice to leave the batcave for a while from time to time!
@AllyTheKid I went over a month without shaving because I would get neasous when I bent over to do it. I finally had to get my husband to do it for me. That was about two weeks ago. Still haven't done them. He's gunna have to help me again. Lol
This might make me sound like a horrible person but I almost lost it on this elderly lady in the Labcorp waiting room earlier this morning because, as I was innocently Bumping while trying not to vomit at the sound of her hacking stuff up and the smell of cigarettes coming from her and her husband, this woman started not-so-quietly bitching to him about people being on their "damn phones and iPads texting." Really????? Stfu and go hack up your lung tar elsewhere. Just because you're old doesn't give you an excuse to be an inconsiderate asshole. Socially undesirable hormone rage haha
@UponAStar16 - Ohh girl. You're I better person than I am because I would've definitely said something to them... and I would've probably made up a sob story that would make them feel like shit for judging me. I may have been texting my DH about a terminally ill relative, making sure they are STILL ALIVE. Or I may have been coordinating a fundraiser for deaf and blind children. You know, whatever works lol.
I only shave my legs maybe once a month, and it's not blonde "can't see it" hair either. Women (and men) in Tanzania have no qualms with body hair and actually some of my female tanzanian friends have said "if it was possible I would ask you to give me some of your body hair" because they can hardly grow leg/arm hair.
Plus I have to ask people to carry over razors for me in their suitcases so that limits it a bit, the only ones you can get here are like shitty double blades that hack you to death.

Oh man. I totally would have lost it. Pregnancy apparently makes me into a horrible person. Some woman came in to radiology yesterday when I was waiting for my NT scan smelling terribly of cigarettes and just generally looking like she didn't take care of herself. I had a crazy full bladder and had been waiting over 25 minutes for my appointment, and she got seen right away. Internally I was screaming "WHY DOES SHE GET TO GET SEEN RIGHT AWAY??? I AM GROWING A HUMAN AND HAVE TO PEE TERRIBLY, AND THIS WOMAN DOESN'T EVEN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF." In reality, this poor woman was just probably really sick through no fault of her own, and she certainly didn't make a dumb comment like yours did, but I was pissy.
On a related I-am-not-fit-to-deal-with-the-public note, I am going to get myself in trouble on public transportation. I take the train to work everyday, and the everyday pushing/jostling/etc. that is part of trains in a busy city has been driving me crazy. I'm already giving people dirty looks for minor pushes/cutoffs that wouldn't have fazed me three months ago, and we're not even at the point where I have to start evil eyeing people or making passive aggressive comments to get a seat because for now I'm okay standing. Once that changes -- look out.
So there's my FFFC: pregnancy makes me a horrible person.

@LMNOBaby That's virtually everyone in my office. I used to be one of the people who would clean up the pile of dishes in the sink and move them into the dishwasher 4 inches away, but now the sight of it makes me want to puke so I've given up. New rule: If you didn't come out of my body I'm not cleaning up your mess.
We haven't had sex in like over two months.. I was on pelvic rest for a little bit and I was way too sick to even think about it.
Well, thanks to my newfound obsession with Outlander (binge watching Season 1) and their steamy sex scenes.. we had sex last night and it was awesome I'm glad to have sex back in my life! (although I did have to tell DH to stop being so gentle ha!)
My coworker keeps giving me pregnancy advice. It makes me so ragey. I ate ranch doritos for breakfast this morning (delicious!!) and she asked me if I was nauseous. I wasn't neauseous but she continued to tell me that I should have something with ginger in it to help me feel better. You know, maybe that worked for you, but the smell of ginger makes me gag. Plus, I was in the mood for doritos today, nauseous or not.

Get it, girl! I'm obsessed with Outlander. The show is really good and he so SO RIDICULOUSLY HOT. The books are so wonderful, I'm re-reading them now and they have the same effect as the show. DH isn't complaining.

@AllyTheKid and @mrszoess , waxing is the sh!t! I actually got laser treatment on my vajjj, but this hair growth stands zero chance against pre-natal vitamins. I have so much hair again down there! So i'm back to Brazilian-ing.
My FFFC: When I divorced years ago, I just deactivated my old FB page (which had like a gajillion in-laws on there) and then started a new FB profile. I had to go back to my old one today because I was looking for an older picture of me and my best friend (whose bday is today). While I was on there, I totally creeped my ex's FB page and looked at all the pics of him and his ex-gf. The good news is that I felt happy for him! The bad news is that I'm a creepy stalker.
Oh geez, I get so mad at the stupid food confessions, yet here I am jumping on the boat..
I drink at least one pop every day. Not diet, the regular good stuff. I try to limit it to 1, or 1.5, but I can't help it it's the only liquid that doesn't make me nauseous.
I swear I had a better one and I honestly can't remember but I'll keep thinking...
On the subject of public rage, though, I def had it last week when flying to Phoenix for work. It was a whirlwind trip (fly out Thurs, speak at a conference Friday AM, then back home Friday night). My flight was over 5 hours, and I got stuck in the last freaking row between 2 very large people. The guy smelled like ass and the woman was sleeping and kept bumping into me. I get very plane-sick, on top of my regular nonstop pregnancy sickness, so I was not in a good place. I put down my tray table to rest my head on it and try not to vomit, and the jerk in front of me lowered his seat back and squished my head. I may or may not have spent the rest of the flight purposely kicking the back of his seat.
I'm terrified of waxing so last pregnancy I asked my husband to help me shave down there. He looked at me like I had grown a second head so I said, "Just be a man and do it." He did not. So I just winged it and hoped for the best.
Eta my FFC: I'm a curmudgeon. I hate small talk and although most would describe me as polite and friendly, it's all an act. I am pretty introverted and a major homebody, but I'm excellent at socializing because I've worked in retail and the food industry for 17 years.
