Never!! Always nice to be reminded why I feel so squished!

I really hate when people are mad at me. It bothers me so much. Someone is mad at me right now, and it's stressing me out! Breathe....

Are they the rational type you can talk it out with?

KellyT22 · October 2016

@AverageAsh Did that, but I didn't seem to help, unfortunately. It will blow over with time, but I'm so impatient!

I'm annoyed about furniture shopping right now... I'm interested in the Graco Lauren crib because it's very highly rated for safety by Consumer Reports while still being well under $200. We want to go with dark wood for the nursery because most of our furniture is dark wood, and being military often pieces are switched room to room depending on the sizes of places we move to (not to mention, the nursery furniture is all going into our master bedroom until we move sometime before the baby is 6mo old). Except Graco's dressers seem to be really low-rated and often arrive with damaged parts. Which means we'd be getting a Graco Espresso colored crib and some other brand's dark wood dresser and hoping they match. I was really hoping to get a fully matching nursery setup rather than having it look mismatched (like the rest of our house does, which drives me insane).

IDK whether I should switch to a white or black Greco Lauren crib because it'll be easier to match to some other brand's dresser/glider/etc, or just assume dark wood finishes will be close enough to look good together.

@Kelly22 I'm the same way! I tend to be very mild, get over anger quickly, can talk it out and be done with it, but DH is the opposite (when he is upset it typically lasts a couple days and he's very cold-shoulder). It's awful! I'm way too sensitive to that kind of thing. It's difficult if not impossible for me to get through my days happily when someone I consider important is angry with me.

File this under "why my pregnant self is crying"

why are relationships, loyalty and trust so elusive?

@mamad233 I really needed to read that this morning. Thank you for sharing. I feel like my arguments are always me-vs-you, who wins, because DH and I are both incredibly competitive and stubborn! It was good to read a different approach.

KellyT22 · October 2016

@bluebird2318 It KILLS me when DH is mad at me! He likes to stew on things. I just want to address it and move on. Life's too short to be upset for long.

lilies5/28/06 · October 2016

I have a strong dislike of my belly button, with that said my innie is now slowly becoming an outie (which I always knew it would happen) I hate when anything touches it I hate even when clothes rub against or if DH puts his hand over it. Im not looking forward to my clothes brushing against my belly button once it does become an outie. Silly I know.

katem-3 · October 2016

I don't understand why men just can't listen! DH is sweet and all but honestly if I say please don't do something that legitimately means DO NOT DO IT!!

Luckily I was able to make him feel very guilty but until 3:15pm this afternoon I won't know if he hurt our LO in any way (we tipped the side by side we were riding in on the weekend). Since it was the long weekend here in Canada this is my first chance to get checked out.

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

I really hope my energy returns soon. Last pregnancy I felt better around 20 weeks now with a 14 month old I feel like it will never return. I just want my house to be clean again

gracie4400 · October 2016

@lilies5/28/06 I'm weird about my belly button too. I can't stick my finger in it cause it freaks me out, and if my husband comes near it I go nuts. I don't know how I'm going to handle it becoming an outie!

Finallyhismrs07 · October 2016

I am so tired of the stupid advertisement videos that have started popping up in the corner of the bump!

pinnerk · October 2016

I'm currently at my first ultrasound appointment and haven't been this nervous in a really long time. I have a dread feeling for some reason. I had some spotting this past week which everyone told me if normal and my Dr didn't seem concerned. But because TW
I've had a loss, something doesn't feel right. Fingers crossed.

peony2418 · October 2016

Seriously @Finallyhismrs07!!!! They slow my computer down so much!!! My work computer has Firefox and it blocks them. But my home computer that also has Firefox, doesn't!

Edited: Fingers crossed for you @pinnerk. I hope everything goes well and you're just nervous about nothing.

Gators&BoSox · October 2016

@pinnerk keeping my fingers crossed for you that you'll be able to have a big sigh of relief

kjd291 · October 2016

@mrsyimster aaww, i can only imagine. I'm sorry that the days are already feeling tough! hugs mama! You got this!!

Side note--when I read posts like yours I just wish we were all in "real life" friends instead of creepy internet strangers so I could show up at your house and keep you company

I'm a total people pleaser; I get it. When people are mad at me, even if I know it is rodiculous, it stews in my mind uncontrollably.

What are you doing to fill your time?
Need binge watching suggestions?

nursemama-2 · October 2016

I've had kidney stones in every pregnancy so when I had pain and blood in my urine yesterday I knew. I didn't expect to have 3 fairly large ones. I need to see a urologist.

mtmama2 · October 2016

That sounds extremely uncomfortable @NurseMama! Hang in there! Can the urologist do anything about them when you're pregnant or do you just have to suffer?

wintersong · October 2016

I have to take baby aspirin every day preventatively because I developed pre-e last prenancy. I'm just comparing about it here because it is such a ridiculous tiny to complain about that I'm resisting complaining in real life.

I am totally using a 24 hour urine collection as an excuse to skip work tomorrow though

Yay?

Yes!!!! That would be so nice!!!!!! Maybe I'll have motivation to change out of my pajamas

wintersong · October 2016

@mrsyimster What are a couple of shows you like already?

Spartanrd4 · October 2016

@NurseMama I have had 2 kidney stones before...not while pregnant though, thankfully they were small enough to pass on their own but I feel your pain....literally! I hope the urologist has a good plan for you.

nursemama-2 · October 2016

@SienaC I'm Not Sure. I don't think they will suggest surgery since my kidney function is normal at this point, but I imagine it's increased monitoring. I think I will need them removed post partum.

nursemama-2 · October 2016

@Spartanrd4 I've passed 3 that were under 4mm and it was excruciating. One of them is 7mm and is too big to pass on its own.

wintersong · October 2016

Thinking if you @NurseMama - Yikes! As if pregnancy isn't uncomfortable enough.

Spartanrd4 · October 2016

@nursemama yeah both of mine were 3 mm and it was literally the worst pain I've ever experienced. I'm actually really optimistic about how I will do with labor after experiencing that! So sorry that you are dealing with this

mtmama2 · October 2016

@Spartanrd4 my mom said that passing her kidney stones was far worse pain than delivery for both her babies!

kiyamurph · October 2016

@pinnerk I hope your appt went ok! Please keep us posted. Thinking of you.

datalover13 · October 2016

@mrsyimster Sirens is a great no-thought-needed comedy on Netflix!

RunBooRun · October 2016

@NurseMama yikes! I hope you feel better.

peony2418 · October 2016

omg @NurseMama!! Hopefully they don't cause any problems. Yikes!

@mrsyimster what about something like Masterchef? Actually, I've been watching the Canadian Masterchef lately. They keep me entertained and I feel like I'm learning something about cooking (not that I'll likely use it in the near future LOL). Also, I've heard Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is pretty funny (Netflix, I think). There's only two seasons so won't get you THAT far, but maybe a couple of days.

@gators&BoSox regarding a clean house...what about treating yourself to one of those house cleaning groupons that I always see? Like 4 hours for $40 or something like that. It's nice because you're not really committing to anything, and I bet you could tell them what you wanted in those hours.

kap1988 · October 2016

@mrsyimster I have been binge watching Shameless on Netflix the last few weeks. There are six seasons so it will keep you entertained for a while. Warning though, it is a little vulgar, I think it's rated TV-MA. I'm not usually one for gratuitous nudity/swearing, but I love this show. It's about a family of 6 kids living on the south side of Chicago whose dad is an alcoholic and whose mom abandoned them. The oldest daughter is trying to raise all the younger kids. I highly recommend it.
