WTF does DH insist on putting me in the middle between him and his mother? I was at work until 8 last night...she called while I was there so I didn't answer because I wanted to finish and go home...apparently he told her to call me about meeting his family for her birthday dinner Sunday....why can't he just answer that question for her?? You know we have no plans, so just tell me what time we're meeting them! Then she proceeds to call him at 7:30 this morning just to say that I didn't call her back...

WTF kids stores like carters?! All of your stores are jam packed and unorganized and impossible to get through with a stroller. Wouldn't you think that a store that sells baby and kids clothes only would harbor quite a few women pushing strollers? if you want me to buy your clothes, I have to be able to get to them!
That's a lot of time to fill @longliveregina! What do you teach?
History. And I refuse to fill it, lol. If anyone asks what I am doing, its "credit recovery." I'm just assigning random projects to raise kids' grades. Because at this point most of them have already passed the class and are just waiting for the semester to end. (I teach at a weird school for kids who for whatever reason can't go to the traditional high schools in my county.)

WTF to all of the people out there that don't realize that Obamacare and the Affordable Care Act are the same thing. Working in a hospital gives me an opportunity to hear some interesting and truly idiotic conversations. This guy was ranting about how Obamacare needs to be repealed since "the libtards" created it and then not even 5 minutes later tells the person he's talking to that he "has ACA insurance, which is so much better than Obamacare" and goes on to rave about Trump. Massive facepalm! A nurse at another table who also overheard this conversation informed him that Obamacare is the nickname for the ACA and only then did this guy realize that he was in jeopardy of losing his insurance. If you all could've seen the dumbfounded look on his face. I actually felt bad for him since he was clearly ill informed and ignorant about the whole thing. I really wish I could make this stuff up.
I'm not really political because I always get flamed hard for my opinion no matter what it is, but I cant help it anymore- our president elect is acting like an idiot lately. Qualified or no, capable of helping our country or not, whether you voted for him or not, him ranting without filter or premeditation, on live TV, and using Twitter to post instant reactions that are poorly thought out is such a bad example to set as leader of our nation. Granted, he is under a lot of uncalled for criticism and hate and pressure, but I believe his reactions are only encouraging and enforcing that. And my husband won't hear a word of it and just blindly follows his family's opinion about the guy so he is useless as a conversationalist. So that's why I'm wrinkling my brow today. Also, LO decided to nuzzle right into my kidney earlier while I was wrestling my 3y/o for her vaccinations at the doctor and i just was like, "wtf child, move over agffhhhhfjfkakasjfk the pain!!!!!!"
@silverbulletband I have zero nice things to say about our president elect, so all I'll say is I think we can all be in agreement, no matter what side you're on, that the man needs to get the hell off Twitter.
WTF to the "Lunch meeting" that I had today. It was scheduled for 11, which is a bit early for me to have lunch so I ate breakfast a little earlier and skipped my morning snack. We put in lunch orders...
AND IT WAS DELIVERED AT 12:00, in the last 30 min of the meeting, and this was PLANNED. Did i mention that I work for an online food ordering website? Don't call it a lunch meeting if the food isn't coming until the END of the meeting! I couldn't concentrate on anything!
@disneybaby84 RIGHT? They were picking on me because I was 1 min late to the meeting, too. I have to waddle slowly these days, and everyone is constantly asking how I am. It takes time to be polite and answer. They're lucky I made it there at all!
@disneybaby84 If I don't go into labor before then, I would be induced between 3/8 - 3/14 when I'm in my 38th week, and I was planning on working up until I have a legitimate medical reason not to (so that I can get short term disability in addition to the mat leave after they're born). Right now I'm only going to the office 2-3x a week (it has been 2x for the last 3 weeks b/c of the holidays) an work from home the other days. I would love to go on leave sooner than later, but I can't take the risk with my husband not working.
Fortunately, my doctors agree that I should stop working sooner than later, and as soon as anything comes up (slightly elevated blood pressure? dialated 1 cm? trace protein in urine? regular braxton hicks?) they will write me a doctor note so I can go on leave immediately. I am torn between hoping something happens so I can go on leave and hoping that I keep having a textbook pregnancy
I'm furious about my medical costs post Obamacare. I am employed, husband as well, all of our premiums/deductibles/coinsurance have skyrocketed. Nothing is covered. "Preventative care" is garbage. Will have 12-16k worth of bills with traditional employer insurance since Obamacare legislation - 2 years ago? 3k cost. 10 years ago a vahinal delivery was 7k total. How on earth are people supposed to foot this stuff. Add in childcare? Taxes? Forget the mortgage etc. I'm just livid about this all. We wanted to have another child in the next couple years and I just can't see how we can Manage it all. I can wait until I'm 35 when I'm high risk and give it a whirl for less $$ but how on earth is the right thing to do.
WTF everything right now. Baby is so high there is little room for air or food. Just laid down, promptly threw up on myself and sheets. Had to yell at H to get him to change the sheets (he gave me an oh, we need to change them? No you a-hole I want to sleep in vomit tonight) while I finished clearing my stomach on the toilet. And it hurts to bend over into a throwing up position because feet are in my ribs. Now I have even more laundry to take care of in the morning.
My husband just had back surgery and I've had to literally wait on him hand and foot while he recovers over the past 3 weeks (thankfully he's back to work now) but his mom is in FL and has to have emergency heart surgery tomorrow morning. He can't take anymore time off right now because he needs time for when the baby is born, and his sister is out of sick leave from her job, so he volunteered me to go for 3 weeks or more from Texas to Florida to help with her transition from the hospital to rehab!! Now I'm a nurse so I get it, and I totally understand that these are legit medical issues but hello!! I'm the pregnant one over here harboring a human in my uterus and I would very much like to be selfish now in these last few weeks and hide under the blankets.......okay end rant
@nicklesb@Lizer514 I'm wondering the same thing....My concern would be what if you go into preterm labor while you are in Florida with his mother who is recovering from heart surgery across the country? Especially because it sound like the trip would last several weeks! Did he clear this with you before offering that to his mom?

@Lizer514 just out of nosiness and being a former Floridian, where in FL is the mother in law? Reson being I might know resources she can tap into there and keep you home.
I haven't cleared it with my dr yet to travel since now (thankfully) the idea is at the bottom of the list. And I told him that the longest I would go would be 10 days. Honestly I live in a bordertown in south texas and hate the healthcare system here so I'm not afraid of delivering somewhere else, I don't want it to happen but we'd make it work. @disneybaby84 She lives in the Port St Lucie area, any suggestions are welcomed!
Um speaking of the ACA (aka Obamacare as all us smart ladies know), I don't know how quickly some of the stuff will affect your insurance but I would say make sure to get your breast pump figured out/ordered if you think you may use one!! Or get one even if you don't think you will, just because it's covered (at the moment at least).

I did as well! Though I'd much rather have my pre-ACA health insurance costs back, sure as $hit going to take that 'free' breast pump while I can (I joke it's a 12k breast pump). Health Insurance is going to get interesting, and it seems like it's for the worse. Please God don't take away the tax deductibles after Many of us are forced to pay these sky high out of pocket costs However there was progress on the Epipen front, a small victory against big pharma on that one. It shouldn't be this difficult and expense for us to ensure adequate coverage for all US citizens! It infuriates me.

But I am feeling WAY better today. Had a pre-natal massage this morning and I feel like a million dollars now. Pregnancy is such a fickle thing.
