Monday Bitchfest 8/15

Re: Monday Bitchfest 8/15

  • @Blonde1817 My shower is the 20th and I'm having the same issue.  If it's anything like my wedding shower, stuff will start clearing day before and day of.  People in my hometown are very last minute. I just can't wait for it to be over so I know what to buy and can budget and plan for it.   I only have 3 more pay days till baby so I don't wanna squeeze everything in last minute

    Thanks! It's already looking up. There were munchkin donuts at the office when I finally got here. I've eaten 6 and regret nothing. 
    I still don't know why but the highway was shut down, I didn't know it until it was too late to get off.

  • @sportiegrl1213 Scary!  And, you know you fall hard when you just want to sit down and cry. :( Hope you're feeling better!!

    @MRSCORKER I would likely call out of work if my hairdryer died mid-dry - So, kudos to you for sucking it up and going in to work!!  And, plus side of 3 hours of traffic - less time you're actually at work? :)  Hope your day gets better!!
  • Oh no @CopperBoom86 that sucks! Anxiety/panic attacks during pregnancy suck so bad and are soooo physical. I hope you feel better soon!
  • @CopperBoom86 I'm sorry that sounds awful. I haven't had a true panic attack in a while but they leave you feeling so crappy. You still looked great for your shower!! I hope you feel better soon!

  • @AllyTheKid where's the sign up list for that??

    @CopperBoom86 I'm sorry the for panic attack - I get those so I know how much they suck balls and totally drain you.  Can you imagine if the men had to go through all this and not be allowed to drink? Mine would be in fetal position rocking in the corner.

  • I'm with everyone on the sucky sleep.  I don't know how many times I got up last night to pee (8?  9?)  I'm so tired I can't Monday.  And I can't believe there's still 8 more weeks to go.  How is that possible?  I feel super duper pregnant already.

    @F47, you do win Monday's BF award!  Sorry about that spill. :(

    @MRSCORKER, now I want some munchkins too!  I haven't had those in years....because there's only like 2 Dunkin Donuts here and all so far from me!

    @CopperBoom86, i'm so sorry about the panic attack. :(  I read earlier (randoms thread? i dunno anymore where) that you never call in sick (omg, props to you girl!)  but can you take a personal day?  Just so you can focus on you and just chill and do nothing for the day!  
  • @krzyriver My husband is a procrastinator too, and I hate it because the rule is I must read all assignments before turning them in. His grammar is just so bad! And he writes like he talks and it doesn't sound professional. Drives me crazy when I have to stay up til he gets off of work to read stuff! 
  • @mrskratt and @krzyriver ... Eff the pregnancy pillow. I keep saying I'm going to lob off the top and sew it shut so I can use it between my knees and just use my regular pillow... But the regular pillow between my knees is just so much easier 

    @Blonde1817 - ditto... Mine is Saturday and, while we've had big things purchased by parents, there are a bunch of $50+ items that will need buying. I keep trying to remind myself that these are the same people that came to my wedding shower and they did a good job of not going rogue then, so hopefully they'll do the same here!

    @MRSCORKER... Let me guess, 95? Something is ALWAYS going on there. 

    @CopperBoom86 hugs!

    @F47 damn it! That is a terrible start to the morning! Glad the computer is okay though :) hope your day gets better!!

    there... I think I'm caught up, for now


  • @CopperBoom86 I think I'm way overdue for one. There's no way therapy and no caffeine completely got rid of the anxiety. But I try not to think about it because that might cause one! And I can't pop a Xanax while pregnant!

  • My BF is pretty petty and selfish, tbh. SIL was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer a few weeks ago and starts chemo tomorrow. A lot of friends/family are getting matching tattoos in support of her. DH said he wanted one, too. Totally fine by me. I just told him that I wanted to go with him to the shop. Yesterday afternoon I take DS out to go grocery shopping and half way through I get a txt from DH saying he's going out, back soon. Super vague, totally unlike him. I pester him a bit because he doesn't keep secrets like that (and if I did the same to him he'd flip shit) but he doesn't respond. When I get home he shows me his new tattoo. WTF? He says he "just had to go out and do it right then". I'm super irritated, but I'm trying to talk myself down.

  • @CopperBoom86 hugs! I definitely think your Saturday sounds fabulous. Chores can wait! 

    @TurtleMomma playing devils advocate here but when my mom had breast cancer, I did all I could to cope But be strong for my mother. He probably had his moment for his sister and in that moment needed to do it right then and there. Cancer is such a hard pill to swallow..people react differently to that word. 
  • @TurtleMomma Maybe I'm selfish and petty, but that would irritate me too... not the tattoo itself, but c'mon, say SOMETHING =/ 
  • @bnsmith85 It was actually 100! I've never been stuck on 100 before so it must have been a really bad accident!

  • @ashleyp625 Same! He writes it just the way he talks and it doesn't sound professional at all. He's been with me long enough to know when it doesn't sound right, but he doesn't know how to word it himself. He's a landscaper, so for most jobs he does just fine because he's great in person. But this is a management position in a big company and it needs to be done right. I was exhausted by the time we finally got it all smoothed out and professional.

  • @TurtleMomma , oh heck no.  I would have been pissed too.... but maybe he is dealing and coping with this the best way he knows how.  

    This is a stupid BF, but here it goes.  

    At dinner on Saturday night with my girlfriends, at one of those fancy restaurants, I order a glass of Pinot Noir to go with my dinner.  That glass was $12!  I already knew I was going to not drink all of it, as I have done this before and only end up drinking 1/4 of the glass and the rest goes to DH.  

    So I'm going through dinner, and I'm like "hey girl, I'm going to give you some of this, I'm not gonna drink all of it.  Take half and leave me half."  So what she does instead is say: "This is not okay Anna!  Half???  You can't drink wine!  And then proceeds to pour the wine into her glass, and my other friend's glass, and leaves me about 1/4 of the glass"

    1/4 is all I would have drank anyway, but what if I wanted 1/2 of the glass???

    It's so dumb, but I was so irritated.  I just bit my tongue because I didn't want to make drama.  
  • Thank you @LMNOBaby... Just took a nice long nap so I'm feeling better! Much needed after all that. 

    @CopperBoom86 so sorry to hear. Hope you're feeling better!

  • @CopperBoom86 Ugh, that sounds so rough. I hope you feel better! 

    My bf is I'm tired of being so sleepy all the time. It's so annoying. I got up at 7:15 yesterday and then took a nap at 10:30. The bad thing is, I know the sleepiness doesn't end for a long time after the baby gets here since you're up so much with them. I need a caffeine IV hooked up to me.

  • I am with you @CopperBoom86 with the anxiety. I feel like I'm on the verge of a panic attack all the time, and usually about petty things. I'm wondering if I should mention it to my doctor in case it doesn't go away PP...

    And the fatigue. Yes. That was going to be my BF plus belated FFFC - I have been craving caffeine like nobody's business. I had almost none for 7 months and now I'm constantly taking sips out of the coke bottles and drinking coffees every few days. It's not THAT bad but the craving keeps getting worse.

  • Bitch 1:

    Last Wednesday I was in the hospital for a slight headache and very blurred vision which turned into a migraine, blood pressure was slightly elevated so off to the OB I went. hooked up to baby monitors, baby was completely fine, yay!, after my stress level went down and my blood pressure went down, vision returned, the light sensitivity went mostly away and headache stayed (of course). Got to go home 4 hours later, for miscommunication in the hospital. I was hungry, exhausted, and I still wasn’t given anything for my headache, ,all I wanted was tylenol… I will not be going back there again! (i only went to it because its an hour drive out of town to my OBs hospital and it was late at night.)

    Bitch 2

    -I’m a FTM after a 2 year fertility battle, my sister is a mother of 4, she has the nerve to tell me that I’m being selfish because her daughter will never have a little sister and I need to spend more time with them… All she has done my whole pregnancy was make it about her and what she has gone through L

    Final bitch 3

    The dogs were up barking all night so I didn’t sleep well. Woke up with a headache and Im really hoping my vision holds and my blood pressure stays down. That’s why im venting here. To let off some steam and hopefully feel better.

  • @books&amp;icecream - Yes! I've been an anxious, hormonal mess in the third tri. I hadn't thought about mentioning it to my doctor, but DH is already asking if it's gonna stop after the pregnancy, so maybe I should. 

    @annabenanna - Whoa! How ridiculously judgey of your friend! How in the world did you manage to bite your tongue?!

  • @kellercourtney44 - your sister is a piece of work
  • @NoraAurora I'm in a similar boat. I think what bothers me the most is I JUST got into the easier phase with LO, now I'm starting from scratch with his terrible twos headed this way and I just kind of short circuit when I think about it. 
    BUT I'm trying to take on the perspective "I just did this, so it'll be a piece of cake. What's one more kid anyway?"
    I will miss my sleep though. Sweet, sweet, beautiful sleep...
  • @LauraPCOS Ugh, me too. Unfortunately this happens to me sometimes even when I'm not pregnant (I've always been a frequest pee-er). Makes me worry about what childbirth will do to the area even more =(

    My bitch is that I have a lot of work to do, I'm behind on it, it's complicated and hard and I can't think very well and I really don't want to do it. =( 


  • @CopperBoom86 I can totally relate!  I was panic attack free for years until pregnancy, and I've had several throughout being pregnant.  I think a combo of hormones, changing body, and tons to do has triggered my anxiety.  Most recently I had a panic attack last Monday after having a super busy day and I panicked myself into thinking I was in early labor when I had some cramping and pressure.  I talked about it with my therapist this morning and I think that (as much as I hate to admit it) I am just trying to do to much and losing sight of the bigger picture stressing out about the little things.  So I'm going to try to force myself to rest more and be more mindful.  Easier said than done though!

  • @kellercourtney44 I had a headache/dizzyness/blurred vision a couple weeks ago and called the nurse's line.  The nurse was slightly bitchy and told me to take some Tylenol and drink a lot of water and that it wasn't anything to worry about bc my blood pressure has been fine during this pregnancy so far.  ::shrug::  Blurry vision seemed a little alarming to me.  That's lame they didn't give you Tylenol, hopefully the headaches stay away for you!

  • @annabenanna... I would have snatched that glass right back from her and told her she can make the decisions about wine consumption when it's her pregnancy and she's had time to educate herself. .... lies... as I think about it, I would have thought that. My true response would have been to say, "ummmm, no." then kept my half of the glass and secretly felt judged while drinking 1/4 of the full glass or less. Whata jerk! 

    @books&amp;icecream... I think you should talk to your MD about it if you're worried, especially about emotions PP. I talked to mine b/c I was on antidepressants before getting KU so I know I'm going to be more prone to being affected by PPD (is that a legit abbreviation on here?). Anyway, if you want to get on something, you need to start around 36-37 weeks if they think you'll go full term because it takes time for them to get into your system. Side note- I'm actually going to talk to my MD on Wednesday about starting back up now. She said I absolutely could and she felt completely safe about it, especially b/c I'm in 3rd tri... and I'm annoyed with my own constant bitching (because the stress we have right now plus hormones is killing my, typically, positive attitude) so I know others are. I just need to be myself again. So, if you pull the trigger, you won't be alone :) Adding @CopperBoom86  for tagging in this comment since I'm replying as I read lol

    @NoraAurora... I'm sorry you're going through that. It's stressful and I'm getting the same a lot recently. So, just know you're not alone. This girl is going back on the crazy meds (read: antidepressants) starting Wednesday. :)
