My husband has the flu. We're supposed to be doing a staycation baby moon this weekend. Instead he's conked out in bed and I'm sewing. Which is not a terrible way to spend a Saturday, but I had other adventures in mind.
@elenabrent : yuck! I hope the flu passes quickly. It's no fun being sick or even being around sick people. Sorry your weekend adventure plans were foiled!
I have 2. 1) My husband (not in general, just today). I was trying to talk nursery things to him this morning and he was too effing distracted by whatever was on his laptop to pay attention. Finally, I asked, "Are you even listening? What did I just say?" and caught him red handed. I felt like I was in teacher mode and he was one of my second graders for a minute. But seriously. We just had this huge conversation about how I'm really emotional and clingy lately because I know things are going to change and it's not going to be just the two of us anymore. I'm kind of an attention whore right now, but I'm 27 weeks pregnant, hormonal, and all I want is for him is to focus on me for a bit and make me feel heard.
2) I have a bridal shower to go today. I was really excited, but it's rainy, I'm tired and cranky, and the shower is an all day thing. Whyyyyy?!
I know, @Lindsayleigh1989! It's a luncheon, and then we're going to one of those BYOB painting places to drink wine and paint (well, I'll just be painting). It's really cool but.... it's also all day.
@elldel my husband and I had a similar convo about the nursery yesterday as well!! I got mad at him for being lazy about getting it done. The nursery has been a big project for us AND we are both coming to the realization that shit is getting real, real quick!! I hope your day gets better and people are nice to you at the all day bridal shower!
My bitchfest is me/my emotions. It's finally hitting me that I will soon be leaving the job I love, moving from the home we've lived in for the past 3 years, away from our wonderful neighbors and a handful of really amazing friends, etc. I have no motivation to do the last push to get anything done/ready. I just want time to stop for a second so I can savor everything. Cue all the tears.
My nausea. Got up to make breakfast this morning, mixed some pancake batter, and then had to go haul ass to the bathroom to throw up... Now I've eaten, and I still feel like shit... Mh being sick this last week hasn't helped because I think I've gotten his head cold which makes this all worse.
The next moron that posts that ridiculous if it ain't broke don't fix it meme about keeping Andrew Jackson on the 20 bill is getting a giant penis posted on their page--- I'm looking at you Grandma.
I went for a hospital tour today. The hospital is beautiful and the rooms are lovely and the cafeteria looked delicious, but the whole thing freaked me out. I'd really like to opt out of the whole giving birth portion of this adventure.
Also, the majority of pregnant girls annoy the hell out of me. I enjoy the majority of YOU guys, but in real life, most of the pregnant people I come across are super annoying.
@DominiqueU I was coming here to bitch about the same thing! I'm FB friends with this 18 year old who just had a baby and constantly was bragging about her PERFECT pregnancy, and now she won't shut up about how PERFECT her baby is and how she can't believe other people get tired and exhausted after having a baby, because she feels great! ALL the bitch slaps.
3rd trimester exhaustion has been kicking my butt these days...it is a beautiful weekend, I should be out and about enjoying it, but I barely have the motivation right now to leave my couch....
I'm LIVID.....4 different websites to try and order the crib we wanted....first off, the initial website that the crib was on never as much as emailed or informed me this particular model crib is being discontinued after months of it hanging out posted on our registry. MIL went to purchase and informed me it wasn't available...she then tried 3 other sites and called their stores for availability but they were limited. Today, both MIL & FIL were over helping us paint the nursery and she was going to order one of the remaining 3 she found on Walmart's site....DH walked her through the mobile app and it was ordered and being shipped straight to our home....3 minutes later after a confirmation email that it was ordered, the order was cancelled by Walmart because it was her credit card on DH login account and OUR shipping address. We called customer service and they go on to tell us their website is down and because of security purposes, they cannot place the order this way or even oder by phone. I've never heard of such a thing. Basically nothing can be done. So my son is without a fucking crib and these assholes are so concerned about security purposes, my MIL is sitting right here and willing to give you any and all information to give you business and you can't even do that for her....I'm off the wall right now and beyond pissed.....FML
Going to some Pittsburgh craft beer week events today with my husband and I'm just a whiny baby with my water and I hate it I just want to be social and fun again and have a crisp, cold beer while enjoying this beautiful weather. July will be here before we know it, but for now I'm bitching like a baby!
My daughter's soccer game was in the rain this morning. I felt obligated to go because DH is the coach. I have wavy hair that I straighten every day, and it's been a mess since it got wet. I'm just too lazy to straighten it again. I've been doing work most of the afternoon for my second job, and all I want to do is sleep.
Screw all the people IRL who don't think I can do this without a birthing class. Have your own baby and go to your own damn birthing class.
Also, we have to go to dinner with DH's grandma and grandpa, the only people he really talks to from his side. And neither one of us wants to go. Plus DH neglected to ask her if she wanted to attend the baby shower or got her address, so I never sent her an invite and I'm going to look like a twatwaffle when she asks about it tonight and I tell her it's next Saturday. DH swears he will bring it up first and take the blame. We will see.
Update: I have survived the five hour bridal shower. But I am exhausted, my feet are swollen, and all I want to do is drink a gallon of cold water and sit in a bubble bath.

Oh no! Take it easy!!!!
I also have an update. My husband woke up fever free and feeling pretty good, so after a delayed start we're picking back up with our babymoon plans. Wahoo!
I decided that since I'm still out of town for work, I'd try to do something nice for myself. Instead of a great afternoon at the salon, I left really upset. The guy screwed up my nails, and told me it was my fault. Got back to the hotel only to find out most of my toes look like garbage after the pedi. So glad I spent all that money today
It's been a great day with DS, but I'm really ready for it to be bedtime. He's 2 and exhausting, and DH has been gone for a majority of the day. He had to go into work for a couple of hours, after which he went wandering around our woods mushroom-hunting. He came home during DS's nap, so he was able to relax when he got home, too. I said I wanted to run to get my nails done while he was napping (I've been waiting to for weeks), and his response was, "Can you wait? (Insert friend's name) said he was going fishing today, and if he's going soon, I'd like to go with him." Seriously, man? You just got home. Luckily said friend is going night-fishing, so I was able to go relax for an hour. But, when I came home, DH was suddenly complaining of a sore throat and has since gone to lay down for the night. 7pm cannot come soon enough... mama needs to lay down!
I'm feeling very bitchy today. I've been really emotional because I'm feeling really left out since being pregnant. It's depressing seeing all of my friends doing fun things, and I can't even lie on my stomach the ridiculous part is that I probably wouldn't even go anywhere if I was invited, but it's still depressing.... Or maybe I'm just a bundle of hormones. or maybe both.
Feeling extremely bitchy today. DH thought it would be an awesome idea to plan a golfing trip and have all of his friends meet at our house at 6:30 on a Sunday. Then he couldn't understand why I would be mad about this. Lo and behold all the men get here, the dog barks her head off and boom I'm up at 6:30 on Sunday.
I also have to go to work on a Sunday. I'm a teacher and we do a stupid open house twice a year on a Sunday that no one comes to. Plus we're moving next weekend so it looks like I will never sleep again.

Me too!!!! 5:30 am and DH must have opened and closed the garage door (which is right below our bedroom) 8 freaking times while allowing the door to slam incessantly ... You'd have thought they were moving in, what the shit requires you to come in and out of the house that many times!!! They left and I'm wide awake so up at 6:45, remembered we didn't have any cream for coffee so I was getting ready to run out and grab a muffin too... Came downstairs to a carton of 1/2 &1/2 and a muffin from D&D... I was like dammit! You little shit, I can't even be mad at you bc you just totally redeemed yourself!!!!
I had my first taste of in-person sanctimonious parenting at our all day birthing class. I mean yeah Portland is pretty crunchy but whoa there were clearly "right" and "wrong" ways to have a baby with this group. Having a guy who could have been Jeffrey Dahlmer's twin "tsk"ing your questions is a weird experience.
I never get my nails or toes done but decided to treat myself before my brother's wedding yesterday. Well, the lady cut my foot. Like, the TOP of my foot. She was using one of those hard callous scrapers and wasn't paying attention and totally scraped the top of my foot! It hurt so bad. There's a dime sized chunk of skin missing and then the rest of my foot has little red scrapes all over it. It was really cute in my bridesmaid dress and heels..... I'm going to go ahead and never get a pedicure again lol
DH has never been one to say, "you look nice." That has never bothered me because self esteem comes from within and blah, blah, blah. But pregnancy is turning me into a self concious fool. DS said "you look pretty" this morning and I had to fight back tears. Freaking hormones!
"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
My shower is today and I swear, everyone is hassling me.. My hosts know my husband and I have Bradley classes Sunday mornings, that ends at 11. For this reason the shower starts at 1. But for some reason they wanted me there at 12? And I obviously wasn't going to Bradley class in a dress and makeup, so I needed to go home to get ready, the shower is 20 minutes away.. I'm just so annoyed and unnecessarily stressed about something that everyone has told me not to stress and worry about. So now I'm on my way, sweating, and my eyeliner (that I wear everyday btw) wasn't going on? And annoyed.. I keep taking deeeeep breaths but they're all texting me every minute asking where I am, etc.. I feel bad, and I'm super excited about the shower, but I'm on my way, I can only get there so fast..
@rakel88 oh no! Stay calm! Your host needs to be understanding that you had a prior commitment and you are going to be running late. I hope they give you some time to get ready and you have a great time at your shower!!!!
@PinkLady2015 at least your DH was smart. Mine just couldn't fathom why I was mad and now is complaining he is tired. For real?! Also I woke up and ate everything I could that didn't interfere with the 90% of our kitchen supplies packed up.
@TxTeacher yea the open house sucks. No one comes and we just have to stand there on a Sunday watching the time pass.
So this is less of a bitch and more of thankful for some relief. After a really difficult week relationally this weekend has brought some blessings. We have finalized daycare with a lovely lady who lives only two minutes for us and has everything we wanted from daycare, and when we went to tour her home we noticed she had the same glider we have on our registry and just commented on how funny that was. She then proceeded to ask if we had it yet and then gave it to us! I'm blown away by the kindness and thoughtfulness of others this weekend.
Enjoying this little girls bigger movements as well she seems more responsive as well!
However I could do without this whole feeling like I'm being kicked in the crotch thing all the time.
I wanted to get a few things done around the house today. I made a list of things and planned on DH and I doing them together but he ended up sleeping all day on the couch. I tried doing a few things but I've had horrible hip/pelvic pain all day so I didn't do much. Fast forward to tonight I ran to the store to get a few things and when I came back he had a load of laundry in, thinking it was his boxers/work clothes and stuff to be washed for the week I didn't start another load. Well as we were climbing into bed he asked me if I washed his boxers (because it turns out he just washed his jeans, not boxers) and I told him no he started bitching on how I didn't do anything today and blah blah blah. I really don't feel like hearing about it or dealing with his bitching so it's not 12:30 at night and I'm waiting for the washer to be done while he's snoring next to me -_-
@Shelby00519 You are growing a person not doing nothing and sometimes it's painful/uncomfortable so you need to take care of yourself and relax. It's not your fault he can't wash jeans and boxers at the same time
