My husband and I got Henry a radio flyer 4-1 trike thing for Easter. We took him to our local park to push him around on it. We walked about 1.5 miles and my freaking legs are sore today. WTF?
I'm trying to reschedule my doctor appointment I had with my ob for Friday afternoon and even though the answering machine says their hours are 8am - 4:45pm they are still saying they are closed. This is the appointment we should be able to hear the heartbeat for the first time so I would really like my husband to be there but he has a meeting during that time he can't get out of. I love my doctor but the customer service I get from the receptionist is very off putting.
Guyyyyyyys, omg, I am sitting in the waiting room at MFM waiting for a blooddraw and there is a couple here the guys smells sooooooo bad of alcohol that I almost threw up when he walked by me. WTF. Yes, I am being judgy...flame if needed. But omg trying so hard to not vomit.
@jess0211 no flames here, it's like 9:30 am, I'd be judgy too! I feel that way about people who smell like cigarette smoke. I find it rude because it is a migraine trigger for me and makes me feel super nauseous.
The pepsi guy came to the restauraunt yesterday to figure out what was going on with the lines and fix whatever was leaking into the kitchen. I sent him upstairs to the closet where everything comes from, and he came down 10 minutes later with one of the boxes that holds a syrup bag. It had been impaled by a tiny piece of broken plate, and THAT is what was causing our mysterious pepsi leak. WTF!
My WTF is to myself: I've known my dad and his gf would be here this evening for weeks. Why have I still not remade the guest bed and cleaned the bathroom? Now I've got 5 million things to do today and I feel no motivation to do them.
I'm making a deal with myself, I can only bump when I cross something off my list!
@BayCamp oh no!!! Hopefully it's a long ride from the airport! Unless you have to pick them up...
Luckily they flew in to an airport really far down the coast (not sure why) so they're going to get lunch and stop by the beach for a bit. I told him I'm babysitting until 5 so to take their time because I couldn't leave the house anyways.
WTF to my allergies... I just want to breathe!!!! Oh well, back to chugging water I go. Hoping for some relief soon. Make it the best day you can everyone!!
Lol @armstrongatron! Gotta love working in a restaurant! I sure do miss it. My WTF is to my kidney stones! Why won't you go away! WTF kidney stones, get out of here already!
WTF to everyone who is not me having opinions about my pregnancy. I am so sick of opinions about when I told vs when I SHOULD HAVE told because it's NORMAL and about how I want to do a gender reveal and when I have a baby shower and just literally anything to do with my pregnancy.
Oh wait. Hear that? MY pregnancy. NOT YOURS.
1) You've never been pregnant before so when I say "it's ok for me to share because my OB said the risk is the same now as at 12 weeks" DO NOT come back and say "well 12 weeks is still standard". 12 weeks is standard because of risk! If the risk is the same at 9 what does it matter?? 2) DH and I want to find out privately whether our baby is a girl or boy and then announce it in a fun way to all of our friends. Don't mock me because I want to find out with just my husband and not everyone else! It's our baby! We should get to have that special moment together and then be able to share the news with our friends as we want to! It's just a BBQ, you'll eat, there'll be a pink or blue cake, and you don't have to bring a gift! You can leave your opinions at home too. 3) Does it really effing matter if I have a baby shower four weeks before "etiquette"? Who decided this arbitrary 32-36 week rule? Why isn't the rule whenever is convenient for mom and host? Maybe mom wants an early shower so she doesn't feel like a whale! Maybe she wants it right before the EDD for whatever reason! LET MOM DECIDE.
TL;DR I am so over everyone's opinions on my pregnancy and baby.
WTF @ me. Can't shake the fatigue enough to put in a regular work day- been like this for weeks. Make me sad- literally. Now I'm feeling anxiety for being so behind! Ugh. I love my job when I don't feel like s@#$. DH reminds me I get like this when chronically feeling bad.
Anyone have some motivation in a jar? Preferably not something I have to eat since all day MS is still in effect!
@DuchessofCambridge I guess we should all get used to letting unsolicitated "advice" (*cough* criticism *cough*) roll off our backs. As far as when to tell people about a pregnancy, that is such a personal decision.
*TW* I've had two losses. And I can attest to the fact how lonely and isolated H and I were afterwards. And you know what added insult to injury? Having to go around pretending everything was 100% normal when my world had completely crumbled around me. *End TW*
Based on that experience, we decided to tell people who we'd be comfortable telling if something went wrong. But that is up to the mom/couple. No one else gets to decide what you should be comfortable with. You shouldn't have to stay quiet because other people are uncomfortable with possibly hearing bad news. Suck it up buttercup - not your pregnancy!
Mine is kind of the same WTF... My SIL is pregnant and she is due around when I am 30 weeks. I'm helping plan hers and my MIL said that my SIL would help plan mine, but I either have to have it super early, so my SIL can still get around okay OR I have to have it late so that she can recover from having a baby. I completely understand all of this but what I'm saying WTF to is that both my mother and MIL are coming at me repeatedly about when I should have it and who should take my SIL place if I want to have it around 30 weeks. I'm sorry I don't want to have it much later because I want time to get everything organized and put away! My mom was like I can help you put away stuff, but I'm sorry I want my DH or I do to it, it's our baby and I want to make sure I know where everything is! My MIL is so concerned about my SIL and how she'll feel bad if she doesn't get involved. Well she complains about everything right now and she's only 23 weeks pregnant, life is only going to get harder!
Sorry if I came off like a brat...but I hate when people keep coming at me about stuff like this....and my MIL tends to freak out and take things EXTREMELY personally....
My WTF is at whoever called child services on my family..... totally humiliating and embarrassing. Not to mention untrue. The report is that i leave my 9, 6 and 4 year old alone unsupervised after school until 6pm because i work. Um......I AM A STAY AT HOME MUM WHO HASN'T HAD A CAREER IN 10 YEARS! And I never leave my kids unsupervised. But now i have a permanent record with Community Services. A second one.
Thanks to whoever you are.
(I think it was my ex husband making trouble for me because he had done it before about things that were proven untrue)
@DuchessOfCambridge Telling people you're pregnant doesn't cause miscarriage. Like. It doesn't. I don't know how to explain that to people. I don't get why it's so taboo. Find out the sex of the baby when you want. It's your baby. Also, the shower? This is totally anecdotal, but here it goes. My MIL kept pushing for a certain date at 34 weeks, but I preferred to have it sooner knowing I'd have to travel and the gifts seemed like it could be a logistical nightmare so I wanted it sooner. My mom and aunts took over the planning and I got my wish. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I ended up being hospitalized due to contractions and high bp at 34 weeks and wouldn't have made the shower date that was pushed for. If that's when it works out for you, that's when the shower is. People can piss off.
@RiverSong15 such a good point. How can you go around like everything is totally fine when you're hit with one of the most devastating things? Why should you be expected to? Some people want to grieve that way which is totally fine and others need to talk about it and share some of the burden. Also fine.
@Furmommy you don't sound like a brat. It's very sweet your MIL and SIL want to be involved and it's sweet you're thinking about your SIL's comfort, but it's your shower. You should get to decide when it is and if your SIL can't help then she should just bow out or help in a less stressful for her way. It's just not your fault or really your problem that she is due when you're at 30 weeks. Peoples lives work independently of each other, she doesn't need to plan around you and vice versa (unless you WANT to). And I would want to put away stuff with just DH too. It's important to me for a lot of things to be done just the two of us.
@alparodi While this is not helping me through my exhaustion, Serena Williams is supposedly 20 weeks along meaning she won the Australian Open while pregnant. I guess I can put in a full day of work today. Really shows how different pregnancy can be for all mamas.
@DuchessOfCambridge I plan on asking my Mom to have my "home"/"family" shower around 26 weeks because I will have to travel 7 hrs. for it and because of my work schedule. I'd ideally like it sooner but with work can't swing it.
ETA I know as we start to tell more people, particularly family, the opinions will be non-stop. I am working on coming up with a standard reply to the unwelcome opinions and advice.
@ElizabethSchuyler you seriously always say everything so perfectly. So much yes to all of it.
@c+mpeachey whaaaaaat, that is insane. So sorry that happened, and hope it gets sorted out right away!
@jess0211 I need to come up with one as well. I just get so upset when all of my feminist friends who always talk about not telling women what to do and womens rights and opinions are valid are the same ones who have decided now that I'm pregnant, I have no opinions or rights and they are welcome to tell me everything they think. If you think of a good response, let a girl know.
@c+mpeachey I am so sorry that happened! I hope it gets worked out soon and without much headache for you. Also whoever reported that lie is a TW and I want to TP them.
@jess0211 i know. I know. It's sorted. Officially "No action needed". But come on! What a stupid report. Luckily my children's school can back me up as i do drop off and pick up every day. And tax records.....i obviously don't work.
@c+mpeachey I am so sorry that happened! I hope it gets worked out soon and without much headache for you. Also whoever reported that lie is a TW and I want to TP them.
My WTF is to my extra hormones. WTF guys...I've cried the past two days at work AND got caught. Why? No reason...anxiety...that's it. My emotions are maxed out right now, so it's a WTF at every turn.
Also WTF to my grandmother. My mom accidentally let it slip that my SIL is pg too and told her it wasn't public. She specifically said not to tell anyone. She turned right around and called everyone. I feel awful for my SIL now. It's her first and her announcement was basically stolen from her. That's what happened with my first which is why I was soooo quiet about it this time.
WTF to TB for gifs and pics still not working on mobile! Get your butts in gear.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
WTF to my symptoms. I can barely function this week. I can't afford too much more of this. I've got too much shit to do. But thankfully I didn't overbook myself this week in the field or I would be an even bigger disaster.
@mariposa_767s I feel for your SIL too. My BIL did that with DS1 and I still hold some rage about him stealing that from me. He of course prides himself on being a big kid who has no kids.
