I am already feeling over committed for holiday plans. I hate how grumpy I get about 6 weeks of celebrating and food.

@gracie4400@kjd291 it's so frustrating! Even more so when the office staff looks at you like your crazy for asking how much longer! I wish they would give a courtesy call saying they are behind!
There's 15 feet right now between the sealed envelope on the dining room table and me, sitting on the couch. In it contains our baby's gender and I've been growing more impatient by the minute since I got it yesterday, wanting to sneak and find out so badly! We're doing a little reveal cake for just ourselves as a couple on Saturday (DH's idea) and I feel like this waiting stuff will seriously drive me crazy till then ughhhhh I need more patience & need to not give in to the temptation of peeking before! The struggle is so real.
My FWP is waiting so long for my ob appts..is this a normal thing? My office is 30 min to 1 hr behind EVERY appt . I understand every once in a while but this is out of control.. currently sitting in lobby still waiting to b seen for my 1030 appt.
My office gets 30 minutes behind by mid afternoon. If i go in the morning sometimes they pull me in early!
ETA I know this isn't always the case, but in doctirs offices I try to have patience because i dont know what has happened in other appts before me. Maybe a mom started spotting and they squeezed her in between two other appts so she could be seen right away. Maybe a mom needed to drink extra water and get her nt scan all over again, backing up the appts. Maybe someone got really really bad news and the midwife is talking her through it at what should have been a fifteen minute appt. I guess this helps me give the benefit of the doubt.

I have a confession. First pregnancy I totally peeked. I acted surprised two months later when we opened the envelope for Christmas morning. My husband never knew I did this.

Such a good view to have! I'll try to adopt this mindset the next time I'm stuck waiting.

my MFM always has a long wait too. DH always goes with me and I tell him the same thing too. I'll want her to take her time, and make sure just everything is ok. Even answer my 100000 questions, bc when im in an appointment I never check the clock.
I accidentally bought single ply scratchy toilet paper....
My butthole quivered reading that. My condolences.

My jobs tech support wont help me put in a pregnancy ticker *eye rolls* if you don't block the website then its fine to use in my opinion..... Doesn't working in tech support mean you fix my technical problems when I am at work... he wouldn't put a screen on my cell phone either... Selfish.
@mecoats@SienaC@AverageAsh DH said to me this morning while still in bed...."We need to throw out that toilet paper." Of course I have like 15 rolls of it......I feel guilty being wasteful but it is just bad.
my in laws thinks im " too fancy" and "waste money" bc i have preferred toilet paper, and now so does DH.. (Charmin Ultra Strong) i hate all their scratch single ply!!!!!

I'm wondering if there is somewhere you could donate it. Not that I'd wish scratchy toilet paper on anyone, but it would be better than just throwing it out.
@mrsyimster - We're a Charmin Ultra Strong house too! My MIL only buys the single ply stuff because its less expensive. Not worth it!

This article is aimed at PCPs, but it's one of my favorites: https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2015/02/know-doctor-late-read.html I work in the clinic setting and my boss is regularly 30-60mins behind. With all the excess and urgent needs that come up, it's almost impossible to stay on time.

THIS. I once was 30 mins late in my appointments because a patient, who had surgery two weeks prior suffered the death of her elderly husband via suicide that weekend. I spent extra time talking to her and we hugged it out. My next patient roughly said "it's about time!" When I finally called him back. Trying to keep my level of anger suppressed was difficult.
