WTF to myself. I have the One A Day prenatals and I totally didn't pay attention and I only took one pill for the past 30 days when you are supposed to take two different pills. One is a gel and one is a chalk type pill. Oops.

The "one a day" name is quite deceiving then if you actually have to take TWO a day!

@bacorrea I did the exact same thing - I switched from a brand where you were actually supposed to be taking one per day and didn't realize the new brand was supposed two per day for like, months. Sorry baby.
WTF army. For like a million reasons right now. Over ittttttt.
And WTF self. Eat a vegetable. Goodness.
Story of my life. I REALLY do not want to live off post. I wish housing would get it together!
I am so the opposite. You would have to drag me kicking and screaming to on post housing. And then I would probably still run away haha. We have only ever done off post and love it.
But it does get hard when you expect to PCS this summer and your husband's RFO is nowhere in sight. Not like we need time to find a new house or anything with a baby due around the likely report date...
As for the prenatals- I didn't take them for a while, they made me sick but then I kept forgetting to take them after a meal. I now have the gummies and I do actually take them daily- but I think we're good lol
@ Jen_Shoes: Make sure you read what's in the gummies. I'm pretty sure they're not complete, like they lack folic acid or something. I was taking them for awhile when the nausea/vomiting was really bad, but still took a folate.
WTF body. My sciatic nerve and piriform muscle are literally going to bring me to tears.
@WombThereItIs in the beginning we lived in REALLY crappy housing, but we were poor and just married so it was NBD. We have lived in a really nice house and if we get into housing at Bliss it's also pretty nice. I also not super thrilled about living super close to the boarder, especially with everything going on. There can be some pretty bad parts of El Paso from what I've heard. Also DH is never home so I feel "safer" on post. Especially since I will have a 3yr and newborn. I expect he will literally never be home as he is will be taking command.
Also that's SO frustrating about the RFO. I'm sorry. We had the same issues this time at Sill. It took FOREVER to get the RFO. DH had already been contacted by the XO and S3 of the new BN before we got his RFO. I mean COME ON.
I also think there should be some kind of funding for all this moving. I know we get travel, but to put money decide for all the deposits is SO frustrating! We just moved in August and now again in Feb. It's so expensive and BAH is of course a month behind.
wtf rib/back pain...pretty sure the other night when I had it really bad was contributed to stress and my hiatal hernia acting up, along with GERD/acid reflux, but it still aches sometimes now. Its not really in the front under my boob, but in the back (right side). I'm thinking now it might be due partly to my bra being tighter (can't find my extenders so guess I'm going to the store to buy some today). I'm hoping those help until I can get new bras, which is a completely different wtf boobs?! ugh I'm already a large breasted woman, can they really get bigger? what bra is going to fit these babies and still be comfortable and supportive?! I want to cry...
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
@bacorrea oh I feel you on moving from a low to high cost of living area. BAH is literally twice as high where we are going compared to here. Putting down first month and the deposit is a little soul crushing.
I definitely didn't always like being alone so much either when he was working 80-100 hours a week but we are big on having our own space so that is the main tradeoff for us. To come home and be home and relatively army free is a priority. I looked at what housing we could slot into when we moved here out of curiosity and I was like noooope. But I hear quality varies super widely depending on where you are. You must get better postings!
Wtf doctors? Why can't they ever be on time? It's 11:30, and I'm still sitting in the waiting area for the high risk specialist - my appointment was for 9.

Thats nuts! Having worked in some medical offices I 100% understand how they can get behind, but 2.5 hours is crazy.
@nda_roxybabe maybe? It's not a stabbing pain and it's not excruciating...I would assume that's what a rib out of place would feel like lol it's more just sore and maybe a little swollen. Idk...
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
@nda_roxybabe I had the same issue with finding a class here, they assume pregnant women don't work? This time around I looked at descriptions for lower intensity or restorative classes and then asked the studio if they felt it was appropriate. Quite a few said yes and one was even ready for my first visit with some modifications in mind.
@jayandaplus@Jen_Shoes it's actually usually iron that gummy vitamins don't have. They leave it out because that can be really harmful for kids, and kids are more likely to overdose on gummy vitamins because they think they're candy.
My WTF today goes out to my lovely state senators who don't want to listen to their constituents and instead voted to ruin education in our country. **hides before an angry mob responds to this** **has second thoughts because there was an error posting and maybe that's a sign to not post, but then decides to post anyway**
WTF floors? I swear I swept you yesterday, yet it looks like I've neglected you for a week. I'm seriously side-eying our decision to get a house with espresso stained hardwood
@nda_roxybabe - this is my fourth visit to this practice and the shortest wait yet has been 3 hours. I asked my OB for a referral somewhere else and he told me to expect the same everywhere since it's a specialist. Thank goodness for iPhones and kindles

I can NOT believe that's true! That can't be the case at all OB offices near you. Half of all doctors out there are probably classified as specialists, and that kind of logjam would be beyond ridiculous. Once in awhile, sure, a delay is understandable, but I wouldn't settle for an office that can't get its shit together so many times in a row.
@BabyMC517 It's worth having them look at! At the very least you'll get an adjustment of sorts that will feel nice and/or you'll get to find out what position baby is in
@ChristinaWild I feel your pain, we spent 3, almost 4 hours at the HRPC with DD who is just over 1.5yo...she did really well all things considered, but by the end we were all grouchy and hungry. I've never been in an office for that long before.
@bacorreaIf it makes you feel better, last night was the first time I remembered to take a prenatal in who knows how long. I'm just really failing at it this pregnancy.
WTF DH, who drinks coffee and eats ramen at the same time? Seriously, I thought I was the pregnat one...I want to spend time with you before work, but you're grossing me out.
@Squirtgun I am totally with you. One of our senators has been on national news for sneaking out the back door of a town hall meeting rather than talking to his constituents. He's a republican in a blue state who has voted yes to every appointment despite significant opposition from a lot of the state. Oh, and I'm sure the $50,000 the DeVos family gave to his campaign had nothing to do with it.

@bacorrea I'm with you on living on post. The cost of living here is so high and our BAH would not cover a good house in a decent area unless we wanted an hour plus commute for DH everyday. If you don't end up on post at Bliss, I have friends there now who are off post and happy with their area (they feel safe and border security was a concern for them as well!) Let me know and I can ask her what areas to avoid or look into! And yes to the moving expenses and deposits! Yea we get "reimbursed" but let's not forget this is the military and they are quick to take your money but slowwwww to give it back! We refuse to use the travel card they recommend as well.

@Squirtgun agreed. One of our senators had so many calls/emails/faxes from constituents asking him to consider voting no that they shut off their communications to the office. Also stinks because he was just re-elected this fall.
Thanks @nda_roxybabe ! I have a message into my dr so hopefully I'll have some answers. You said adjusted, do you mean seeing a chiropractor? I hope I don't have to see one! I had a horrific experience a few years ago and I'm terrified to go back!
"A day without laughter is a day wasted." ~Charlie Chaplin
WTF stomach bug. Dd woke up after a superlong nap yesterday cranky and feverish but was fine after a dose of motrin. She was fine all day until it happened again at dinner and she wouldnt touch her food. Motrin didnt seem to help this time then suddenly she vomited all over our couch. (Thank god for removable cushions and covers)
It seems like something is going around (according to the local mama group) so I'm a bit nervous of what might be in store for us. Shes totally fine now doing bathtime with DH. Any idea @jayandaplus since you're local too?
Wtf parents who blame teachers for their child failing! As I was going to bed last night I hear my email ding...9:45. Stupid me checks it. A parent emailed me yesterday about their student's grade and how to fix if. I emailed back saying they can make corrections to certain worksheets. He did make one corrrection and turn it in yesterday, I hadn't graded it yet.
Last night the email starts.... "why is my son still failing? This is unacceptable I'm trying to help you" "My son said he turned in the assignments how's he supposed to work on them?"
Did you even read my email from the night before? I clearly stated all graded material has been turned back and he is to make corrections on a seperate sheet of paper... also two of his assignments are in google drive.
I could never imagine emailing my child's teacher in such a manner, especially the day after they emailed you and informed you exactly what he can do to fix his grade....
