Ok I'll start. I just had an appointment w my endocrinologist and while I waited longer than usual it was fine. i then had to wait an extra hour after my appointment for my blood draw. The tech saw me and said "oh you shouldn't have been kept waiting" - a bit too late. Ugh. Now I'm in horrible traffic in an uber trying to get home. And we r on cobblestone roads and I have to pee so badly.

We ordered take out on Saturday and I consciously saved my leftovers for lunch today. DH leaves for work while I'm asleep and decided to take them instead without asking me. Dude, rule #1- don't mess with a pregnant lady's food! I'm so annoyed.

Ohhhhh!! I'd be pissed, pregnant or not! No touching my food unless I specifically say I don't want it!

ginger1228 · May 2017

Ohhh I HATE when H eats my leftovers! I usually hide them in the crisper drawer bc he never looks there.

Poppyseed72017 · May 2017

@oheliza44 WHAT!?!

ginger1228 · May 2017

I've been trying to order through the McAlister's app for 30 minutes bc they have a special promo (buy a drink, get a free club!). Every time I get to the checkout, nothing happens. It just clicks and then refreshes. I'm starving and McAlister's is my favorite lately.

notachanski · May 2017

whats McAlister's @ginger1228 ?

and i'm sorry @oheliza44, thats the worst!

OperaSingerMommy · May 2017

Ughhh @oheliza44 I would throw a fit, lol. I even get mad if someone comes back with my take out order wrong but the worst is when you save something and someone else eats it! Thinking of Ross and the Thanksgiving leftover sandwich lol.

This baby turned to a totally different position last night (I had been feeling kicks pretty consistently up near my belly button) and I was in so much pain all night. I don't know what nerve you decided to sit on, baby girl, but you need to move back so that I can walk normally. Please and thank you.

Itsnotyourturn · May 2017

@oheliza44, I would have lost my mind. Condolences for the loss of your leftovers.

BusyZee · May 2017

Hubby switched jobs and so we were waiting for the insurance to start before we could book an appointment. I havent gone to my Obgyn for a little over 6 weeks. We had confirmed with HR before booking an appointment aswell. We get to the office at 8 am and the insurance was voided. The HR woman hadn't done something properly! I just got done with my appointment an hour ago! Thank God they were able to do something about it today my doc office was really very patient! I do feel like meeting this new HR woman though .....

ginger1228 · May 2017

@notachanski - McAlister's is a deli that is absolutely amazing. Their food is steamed and fresh and so good. They have a bunch of different breads and and also baked potatoes and salads. And I loooove their tea. I'm an unsweet tea person, but I go a little crazy there and get 1/2 sweet 1/2 unsweet.

I finally got the app to work (after an HOUR) and got my food... and was reminded that I just don't really like clubs! I'm not a big lunch meat fan, but I'd never tried their turkey or ham, plus it was free so I figured why not. I usually get their roast beef on a croissant and it's so dang good.

stokesm21 · May 2017

I went to bed early last night which resulting in me being up for at least an hour and a half at 4am. Then I had to sit in city traffic just to spend a measly 10 minutes in my OB's office. Not. Impressed. Needless to say I'm uber tired and extremely grumpy. I just do not want to continue adulting today. I'm done. lol

stokesm21 · May 2017

@ginger1228 Their clubs are made with lunch meat? As in turkey deli meat and not actual turkey that you would eat at Thanksgiving? If so, that is odd. I've never seen a club in Canada made with turkey deli meat instead of like ... sliced turkey. That would be disappointing. (I'm totally on team love clubs haha! We've gone "vegetarian" but if I get takeout or go to a restaurant I will usually eat meat, which would be why I put the vegetarian in quotes. I'm a dirty cheater lol!)

nktrodden826 · May 2017

So, DH dated a woman(well call her Lucy) before me for 4 years (I think) and they ended up going through a nasty break up when she found out about me- I swear I had no idea about her. It was all shameless flirting and coffee/ lunch dates, literally nothing else but she flipped, and rightfully so. So fast forward to now, 8 years later, we end up moving to the same neighborhood as Lucy and her fiancé and ran into them at a party a couple weeks ago. It was so awkward- you could have cut the tension with a knife. So I was talking to another friend who is about to get engaged about it and she happens to be in his Lucy's wedding as a bridesmaid in the next few weeks! Talk about a small fvcking world. Well she then says she wants to have Lucy and me in her wedding party and proceeded to ask if that would be weird or make us uncomfortable. It was extremely awkward for both DH and myself when she walked into the party and we didn't even make eye contact. So needless to say it would make me uncomfortable to be in a wedding with her and planning events and dress shopping etc. do I tell her that I'm honored but no? I've known her for much longer than she's know Lucy but I know DH will be in their wedding too and I know he'll be uncomfortable having to take photos and stuff with her too. Or am I just being hormonal...

BusyZee · May 2017

@nktrodden826 is there any possible way I can witness you both taking pictures together

On a serious note, I think Lucy would be the uncomfortable one. She's the one who went through this so ... if I were her I would hate to be around you. Just my thoughts.

Xath · May 2017

@nktrodden826 It might be awkward, but any way you could take Lucy out to lunch or something to try to talk about it? See if your H isn't around if there's a way to work through it; get all of the feelings out there and test the waters to see if you guys could get along well enough to support your mutual friend.

notachanski · May 2017

@nktrodden826 - That situation would make me super uncomfortable too but if your H is going to be in the wedding, I don't see a reason for you to decline. I have no advice to make it less awkward though. I hate those kind of confrontations so I'd just suffer through the awkwardness in silence. Which is obviously not the correct solution ha.

oheliza44 · May 2017

I sincerely appreciate everyone's condolences on the loss of my leftovers. It is times like these where the support of this community is really valuable.

lol

chiquita928 · May 2017

@oheliza44 That's so wrong. So, so wrong.

Similarly, it's teacher appreciation week, so there was a large table of snacks at our (hour long, miserable awful) faculty meeting today. The line was pretty long, so a coworker (due a month after me) and I were waiting to join the line until the end so we didn't have to stand the whole time. It finally shortens, and we get up to join the line. The principal decides that it's then the perfect time to mention that he would like to get the meeting started, and ask that we all take a eat. We glared him down, and he slowly back away. These two pregnant ladies were getting their treats, damnit!

Edited for spelling.

Twinkiedoll · May 2017

I have reached the point in the pregnancy where I can't sit as close to my desk as I would like. So I find myself inadvertently leaning my stomach really hard into the edge of my desk as the day progresses. Eventually I realize I am doing it because it hurts,and I'll lean back again. Then I forget again and start leaning forward again.

Cycle repeats.

This is going to be a long third trimester.

oheliza44 · May 2017

@Twinkiedoll I have that exact problem. It isn't as bad with my desk as it is with driving. I am really short so I try to sit back as far back from the wheel as possible so the airbag won't kill me should it deploy. With my belly I can't do this and comfortably reach the peddles so I sit in this weird, awkward position. It sucks.

ginger1228 · May 2017

@stokesm21 - yeah, deli meat!!! Not nearly as good as Thanksgiving turkey! But I think that's pretty standard in the states - at least in the Midwest.

Edit bc I meant to say @nktrodden826 - I agree with whomever said that if H is going to be in the wedding, you may as well too. Lucy will probably feel the most awkward! Sometimes it's fun to make people feel awkward.

as long as you don't go too far!!! Haha

soontobemrsrlb · May 2017

I feel so large. I don't know how I will continue to grow for another 2.5 months! I am also afraid of going in to early labor, lol.

nktrodden826 · May 2017

Yessssss TB is no longer something to bitch about! upload all the pics!!!

BusyZee · May 2017

@Twinkiedoll haha I just experienced this today while cooking. I couldn't be close enough to my counters as I wanted to be!

postywiththemosty · May 2017

@Twinkiedoll Same! I always know I'm pushed too far into my desk when the baby starts kicking like crazy and I realize I'm smushed too far in. Sheesh.

ljd2010 · May 2017

@Twinkiedoll Somewhat relatedly, I was sitting at a conference table with a bunch of my bosses, and I had to keep my chair back from the table. But LO decided it was time for a dance party, and my stomach was visibly lifting and moving for about 20 minutes! I tried to keep my hands on my stomach and hide it, but he was going crazy! Made a boring meeting more interesting haha

satsumasandlemons · May 2017

@nktrodden826 how long ago did your husband and Lucy break up?

julybaby17-2 · May 2017

It might not be a bad idea to have lunch with her or something, just to clear the air. If she lives in your area, you may not be able to escape her entirely. Might as well try to move past the awkwardness. She is probably just as uncomfortable as you, so she would probably appreciate you reaching out.

nktrodden826 · May 2017

Thanks for all the advice ladies.. you're all right- they broke up 8 years ago so I think the awkwardness will go away if I just muster up the balls to break the ice!

ginger1228 · May 2017

@nktrodden826 - GL! It's going to be an awkward conversation and it's much easier to be on this side and tell you what to do than actually do it.

haha

H and I found a glider we really like and it's built well (he's a bigger guy so the small ones at Walmart or wherever won't be comfortable for him or hold up as well). Well it was friggin' $500, which is more than we wanted to spend but we were going to if we needed to. Well MIL found the same exact chair at a resale shop! It's a locally made brand. She found it for $80. The wood is lighter but to save that much money, I can live with it! MIL drives me crazy sometimes bc she's allll about resale stuff with everything (she once made a comment about how she couldn't believe H bought a brand new crock pot when he could have found one somewhere...), but I have to admit, this time it worked out great!

virginiaunicorn11 · May 2017

Y'all are better people than me. I would not be having lunch with the chick who invaded any relationship of mine, nor inviting any of DH's exes to lunch. I'd probably tell the bride-to-be that yeah, it would probably be awkward, but I won't be the one to create any drama. (If you're good enough friends to be in the wedding, aren't you good enough friends to be honest about that?! Or wouldn't she know already?)

DS turns 2 in June and is on a sleep strike. It's killing all of us. The past three days he's been up at 3:30, 5:00, and 3:30 - for. the. day. It's horrific.

BusyZee · May 2017

Loll @virginiaunicorn11 I agree to most of that... I'd be pretty annoyed if I was the ex and current gal took me out... but I think it's been a long enough time and you guys can just go with the flow and ignore each other... If I were that girl and you asked me to go out for lunch I'd think your being too clever (personal thoughts ..) I could be totally wrong! It's best to ignore this situation and go with the flow. I don't suggest missing out on the wedding or making it into a big deal because it really isn't. She's already engaged your on baby number two and it's been a very long time! @nktrodden826

nktrodden826 · May 2017

Just my .02 on gliders- if you're going to spend $500+ on a chair I highly suggest going with a la-z boy or something! We got a recliner for DS's room and my mom got a glider to keep at her house. We only were able to comfortably use the glider for a couple months and then when DS grew it was so hard to position him on your lap in it. We bought another la-z boy for DDs room now and when they grow out of needing one in their room we can move them to the living room to act as extra seating.

Twinkiedoll · May 2017

DH is using the glider already. He is the reason why we bought it. It's more for him than the baby. He sits in it to work on his laptop while watching tv. I hope the cushioning holds up. I know the cushion goes flat on a lot of gliders really quickly.

We actually looked at a normal recliner too! They're just so flippin' big and don't fit right in the room. But I know that's a much better idea. I feel so much better with the $80 resale glider. The thought of spending $500 on a dang glider made me want to puke!

chiquita928 · May 2017

@nktrodden826 We used a large armchair with DS, but the back didn't go up high enough, and it didn't recline or rock. Plus it was HUGE! I got a glider this time, but we'll see...

satsumasandlemons · May 2017

Exactly, @virginiaunicorn11

I still have mine in the middle of the living room because I like to sit there!
