@maf9866 No judgement here, sometimes I wish DD's bedroom door had a lock on the outside of it that could get mysteriously "jammed" from time to time haha She means well, but she picks the most inconvenient times to decide that she MUST be by my side and follow my every move.
@F47 First: I hope you are feeling better, that sounds terrible! Second: Your coworkers are dicks. Not a single one offered you their seat? That is some serious ass-hattery.
@F47 just echoing what other people said. I would be terribly embarrassed to be one of those people who just sat there and didn't offer up their seat. Come on! No one wants to stand but where is common courtesy anymore?
@AllyTheKid hahaha yes!! Mysterious door jam would come in handy right now.
Trying to take deep breathes and not flip out. Luckily dh gets to come home early on Friday's so I am already starting a countdown. For as much as she will follow me around today, I am still second fiddle to dh.
@F47 That was so rude of your co workers to let you stand! When I'm in the office I can't even get up to stretch my legs without people telling me to sit down. My boss it terrified I'm going to go into labor at work.
I didn't think i had seen much boob growth until I tried on one of my sexy bras and it didn't come close to fitting... I have been wearing sports bras or just super comfy ones that stretch so I guess I didn't notice that they have grown I had to go out and buy a new sexy bra and it was size bigger.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+ BFP: 03/10 First Baby: 10/20/2016
@F47 I can't believe none of them offered to give you their chair!! Also, kudos to you for squatting - pretty sure if I had done that, I wouldn't have been able to get back up!! Now, go get some water and a blast of A/C!!
It's weird because the people I work with are very nice, and I'm pretty close with several of them. But, most of those people were standing. Everyone was super concerned after the fact, though... Not helpful at that point.
But, happy to report I feel OK now. It's freezing at my desk and I'm basically sitting with my legs spread apart and do. not. care.
I just got checked in at my doctor's office for my appointment and the nurse said it's going to be a while because she just got called into delivery. So I went to take a seat in the waiting room, but all the seats are taken- 3 by SO's of other pregnant women and 1 by a 5ish year old child. No one has offered me a seat. WTF?!
On on a positive note, a couple in our church just offered us a travel system almost exactly like the one we registered for at BRU for FREE. They're insisting we use it if we want it and that we owe them nothing. Wow. Speechless!
@f47 I just saw your post about what happened in your meeting. What the hell is wrong with people today?! I'm glad you're feeling better!
I'm glad you're feeling better @F47, but maybe you should go home early "just in case."
@maf9866 I totally get it. My two year-old seems really clingy lately and it makes getting anything accomplished really difficult - especially trying to put away his toys.
Can I rant about my husband for a minute? He's fantastic and I love him, but sometimes I'm not sure about his level of empathy. Yesterday, I had a BPP, NST and appointment with an OB I hadn't met before (she's from my OB's practice - he wasn't available, so I saw her instead). Long story short, I was having contractions during my NST (not painful) and my cervix is dilated 1 cm, so she did an fFN test and told me I may have to come back in today to check my cervix, possibly get steroids and maybe (but probably not) be admitted to the hospital. I'm not worried about these things because the same thing happened with my first pregnancy (well, I was actually dilated 2 cm by this point last time and had a shortened cervix) and I still made it to 38 weeks 6 days. But I told my husband I may have to go back in today and he said "When? Because I'm busy tomorrow." I asked "Oh, do you have clients coming in?" "No, I have lunch with B tomorrow." B is a friend of his from college who lives in the same city as us and works four blocks from his office. AND he's going to lunch with her and some of his other friends next Friday too. Sure, he knows it's unlikely that I'll be going into labor soon and he hasn't seen his friend in 12 years and just found out she moved to the city (when they just happened to be on the same bus), but still. I just told you the doctor thinks it's possible that I'll go into labor in the next week and you're more worried that it'll "look weird" if you postpone your lunch with a friend? He did backtrack after I shook my head and rolled my eyes at him. I told him to go to work and if I have to go in, I'll schedule it for the afternoon, but he better take a taxi or Uber home if I need to go in. And I'm pretty sure he still doesn't understand why I'm upset. Sorry for the long post. I needed to rant and I had no place else to put it.
@F47 - how rude! The thought of crouching down makes me cringe. I feel like I'm going to bust a vein in my leg or something. I'm not used to weighing this much.
@CopperBoom86 - also rude. (But awesome about the travel system). One thing I'm always proud of my DH is he's very observant and always offers his seat, to hold to door, to help with something heavy for everyone.
I had to wait an hour and 15 minutes for my ultrasound appointment yesterday and at the MFM place they have the MOST uncomfortable chairs. My tailbone has been hurting ever since.

@CopperBoom86 Score!! What a great start to the weekend - travel system coming your way, and probably eases a huge burden!
@ignoscemihi Ugh, husbands. Mine's fantastic and I love him, too, but sometimes they're really not thinking about things before they say them. Or they just don't grasp the depth of a possibility right away! It's not an excuse, but I'm learning that I really have to stress something that I think is important to my husband... He's just thinking of the immediate future, where I'm always a few steps ahead. I had to make a calendar to stick on the fridge to remind him of things we have planned because he never keeps it straight. Usually though, when he takes a minute to think about it, he gets his priorities in order!
However, that being said, he remembered immediately when his fantasy football draft was when I started talking about how we might spend Labor Day weekend... *sigh*
@F47, your co-workers.... i have no words. I'm so appalled!
@CopperBoom86, this is how I felt a month ago when we were at the airport. Because our airport is so small, the terminal for Southwest Airlines gets so jampacked.... so were walking around looking for seats, and no one, NO ONE offers me a seat. We kept walking and walking and walking. Finally, I was told DH it was fine, that i'd just sit on the floor if he sat with me. So we did. I was feeling so letdown by humanity...lol.
Then we boarded the plane, and a military guy came over to me and was like "i saw you guys walking past and i wanted to give you my seat, but then I couldn't really call you guys' attention, and I figured if I got up, someone else would take my seat. I'm sorry I didn't get to offer it to you" And with that, my faith in humanity was restored.
@ignoscemihi, i'm so sorry. I'm glad your DH backtracked when you rolled your eyes. It could have been really bad if he just ignored the eye-rolling.
I'm so glad it's friday y'all. I'm gonna vent too.
Last night, DH didn't get home till 1130PM. He and his ex have a quarterly meeting about the stepkids, school, how they are, schedules, etc. His ex ran late because of a hair appointment and basically they didn't get the meeting started till 9pm. Ugh. So I was asleep when he got home, then he left early this morning for work at 630AM. It's making me teary because I haven't talked to him in 24 hours and we are both just so tired. Making me think: how are we gonna survive this newborn phase thing when we actually won't have time for each and we'll be tired for weeks on end?
Then, 3 of my friends back out from the babyshower this morning. Like I literally get 3 text messages at 630AM, 7AM and 730AM saying "sorry but i can't make it, something came up"
Then, I find out the accountant found a discrepancy with a quote given to a client. We were off by $5600. How she and I missed that HUGE amount is a mystery to me. I keep looking for documentation, anything that can support why...but I can't find anything because of course, due to a crazy server f*ck up, all our company emails were erased back in October.
Thanks guys. @LMNOBaby Yeah, I didn't really act like it was a big deal (because I don't think it is), just a hassle, so he was probably just playing off of my attitude. @annabenanna the first few months are tough, but it seems like you have a strong relationship with your husband so you may end up getting closer commiserating about your misery. @f47 I'm not sure my husband knows how to say "I'm sorry", so I'm not holding my breath. But he has been checking in from work more often than usual, so I'll take that as an apology.
@ignoscemihi Men are so clueless sometimes. I had to train mine to stop, rethink, and apologize, because he's so clueless and things like that happen a lot and I'm overly sensitive about it.
My DH is off work today because he had a job interview. And I'm going nuts because he really wants it and he thinks it went well... but it's Friday so we might not hear anything about it until Monday.
My SECOND nanny option has now almost fallen through. I seriously cannot handle this. She had agreed with us on an amount of pay and hours/days, and now is coming back asking for more money plus a lunch hour. W. T. F. I am thinking about approaching my boss about a part time working at home situation with my MIL coming part of the week to let me go to the office. Only if nothing else becomes available before leave is up. UGHHHHHHHH.

Can I just say that I'm so glad it's Friday, it's not even funny.
Also, stupid Rebecca Black has forever ruined the word "Friday" for me. That B. Seriously, I'm gonna be 80 years old in a retirement home and someone's gonna be like "Hey, bamacoop! It's Friday!" And I'll just smile and nod, but in my head I'm gonna be like "Partyin' partyin'! Yeah! Funfunfunfun, lookin forward to the weekend!"
Can we have story time? Because yesterday was probably the most embarrassed I've gotten in a while.
Spent all day at the hospital for doc appointments yesterday (MFM in the morning, regular OB in the afternoon), so I ate lunch in the cafeteria and then went to the Starbucks in the hospital to hang out. Ordered a drink and sat down. Got bored and decided to look over the display of coffee mugs and cups they have for sale in the middle of the store.
Saw one of the clear cold drink cups, with lid and green straw. Picked it up to see what size it was. Oh, 20oz. Cool. Set it back down. Thought to myself, "is this glass or plastic?" and tapped my fingernails on the lid. Ah. Plastic. Good. I'd never buy a glass cold drink cup, 'cause that's just an accident waiting to happen. Wanted to know if the top screwed on or just pushed on. Pick up cup again trying to get the lid off. Lid comes off, cup falls to the ground and smashes everywhere.
Everywhere. The loudest crash you ever did hear in that small Starbucks. Because guess what? Plastic straw, plastic lid, GLASS CUP!
WHY?!?! Why would you pair a glass cup with a plastic lid? That's just mean!
Of course we're in a hospital, so there's a table with some nurses right beside me and they start freaking out. "Oh no! Don't move! Did you get glass in your shoes? Check your feet! Seriously! Don't move! Did your feet get cut?! There could be glass in your shoes! Check your shoes! But don't move!" While I'm standing there like an idiot going "I thought it was plastic! I'm so sorry! The lid is plastic, I promise! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to drop it! It just fell!" And the Starbucks girl comes over and is going "Don't worry about it, I need to sweep anyway. Just be careful. Are you okay? Did you cut your feet? Oh goodness!"
Guys. It was the worst. The living worst! I finally just went back to my seat, but kept having the nurses/Starbucks lady tell me to check my shoes (black flats, so the tops of my feet were exposed) for shards of glass while they have new customers coming in and making sure they don't step in all the mess.
I sat there for maybe half an hour, and it kept coming back up! Someone came in who knew one of the workers and saw the glass being swept up and was like "Whoa! Who made you mad? Who were you throwing things at?! Hahahahahahaha!" while I'm in the corner turning red. And then the nurses found more glass under their table that the lady had missed so there was a whole big scene of having to re-sweep.
And then at one point some other workers come out of the back to see what was going on, and there's a group of people talking and a guy picks up one of the cold cups and goes "Mmmhmmm, yep. That's definitely glass. It's not plastic, it's glass. Yep."
I wanted to crawl into a hole. A tiny little hobbit hole and live with Frodo and Sam forever.
But now it's Friday, so everything's okay! Except for that freaking Rebecca Black song.
ohhhh @bamacoop that's awful! I would have probably run out of the store, haha I dont think I could have handled staying around.

@ibabyloveb87 how frustrating! I feel like not having a lunch hour sort of goes with the territory of being a nanny. The break comes at nap time when you can check email, read, etc. Otherwise one parent has to take off over an hour in the middle of every day.
@bamacoop I'm sorry you were embarrassed, but you can really tell a story. I'm glad you weren't hurt. And thanks a lot for getting that dumb song in my head.
@bamacoop Oh, man, I can feel my face heating up FOR you!! I would have been mortified! However, I blame Starbucks for making a glass cup - who does that?? And, they display them on those small shelves where they're just bound to tip over... I feel like Starbucks was setting you up. It's totally their fault.
@bamacoop your story is my worst nightmare. I hate being the center of attention - especially for something like that! Sadly, I'm super clumsy, so it happens a lot.
I'm alive! And I just made it through 4+ pages of randoms.
I'm sorry I'm not as active as I used to be. I'm really struggling with personal stuff (we finally got dates set up for DS's autism testing, SIL has breast cancer and just started chemo, preterm labor concerns, etc).
@bamacoop , my friday is slightly better because of your story. you really know how to tell a story. you should write a book or something! short stories? essays? it could be on Radio Hour too.
@MorganL925, work stresses are never fun. i just hate when i screw up. i like that my boss appreciates when I can say "listen i screwed up, what can i do to make it right?" but i hate that i can't figure out why i screwed up because of the missing emails!
also, babyshower is tomorrow, and now have: 2 couples, 2 friends on my "flake" list.
Thanks, y'all! I'm glad my embarrassment can be put to good use by making Friday a little bit lighter. It was seriously like a slow motion scene out of a movie. As the glass falls the camera pans up to the shock on my face, the nurses having a conversation not knowing what's about to happen, the impact, the shards of glass scattering across the tile floor. And then me just standing there with the plastic lid in my hand trying not to pee my pants.
@F47 Random strangers are pointing out your belly button? What weirdos.
@annabenanna Last minute cancelling (unless there's a good reason, obviously) is a huge pet peeve of mine. I know a guy who hated to just tell people no, so he would agree to do everything, then cancel last second. All. The. Time. I had multiple people trying to tell him that it would actually just be better to say "Oh sorry, can't come to your party next week, but happy birthday!" than to say "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can come, I'll see you there!" and then call that person the day of the party and say "Oh, sorry, can't make it." when he knew all along he wasn't going to go. So annoying!
I will tell y'all something funny. I was having wicked BH's a few days ago and called my MW. She told me to take a certain supplement to help. After discovering that that supplement is damn near impossible to find on short notice, she told me I could drink 3oz of red wine and take a warm bath. You bet your ass I made DH buy me some red wine! I must say, after 30 weeks of not drinking I am a damn light weight, lmao.
I was so uncomfortable last night. Every part of my body hurt and I tossed and turned all night. I was hot and cold at the same time. At one point I fell asleep long enough to dream I delivered this baby though! It was so frustrating because I kept asking how much he weighed and how long he was and what day it was but I couldn't get an answer. This was my first dream about delivery.
@bamacoop Late to the response party, but I always enjoy your comments as well, even when the subject matter may not have been an ideal situation for you, you always make it sound good!

I had multiple people trying to tell him that it would actually just be better to say "Oh sorry, can't come to your party next week, but happy birthday!" than to say "Yeah, I'm pretty sure I can come, I'll see you there!" and then call that person the day of the party and say "Oh, sorry, can't make it." when he knew all along he wasn't going to go. So annoying!
On the bright side.... more cake for you!
