TW Tuesday

breezybee · May 2017

Alright ladies. Who's being just the absolute worst TW today? Let's it rip!

peachy13 · May 2017

So I mentioned in my ticker change thread last week that I was heading out of town for a friend's wedding, where I would be in the midst of a dozen or so of our closest friends while on vacation... needless to say, the fake drinking was sort of dodgy since we're all a big drinking crew. On top of that, I hardly ever drink hard alcohol so the cranberry sodas I was drinking really wasn't fooling anyone -- especially one friend in particular who actually outed me at the dinner table one night. She didn't say it too loud thankfully but she caught me super off guard and in a hushed whisper asked me flat out if I was pregnant. I'm terrible under pressure so couldn't lie and was forced to tell her the truth once I knew no one else was listening, but the timing was just so awkward and she was so rude to accost me like that.

Moreover, DH and I were kind of forced to tell her husband shortly after since he was on the trip with us and I figured his wife would fill him in anyway. These are two people you really don't want to share a secret with, and there are about 80 other people I would have rather told before them. We have a 10 week heartbeat check next week and are waiting until then before sharing the news with our families. Proceeding with caution due to my miscarriage last time, and I gently explained this to my friend and she pretty much disregarded everything I was saying and waved it off saying that I'd be fine. Instead of listening, she just kept clapping and cheering and was basically being the opposite of "please be cool, no one knows, we're not telling anyone just yet." She's a mom who had a very easy time getting/staying pregnant with no issues whatsoever with her child, and I honestly tried to avoid her the rest of the trip because she's a huge TW.

@peachy13 I'm so sorry! That's just the worst. Some people are so clueless and tactless and I'm sorry she kind of outed you.

My insurance and pharmacy are both TW's today. Insurance won't pay until tomorrow for diclegis refill and the pharmacy is out of stock so it won't be in until tomorrow afternoon..I run out tonight so I'm most likely spending the day in the bathroom tomorrow.

@peachy13 ugh I'm so sorry. I don't understand why people think it's ok to ask anyone if they are pregnant. If they are and when they are ready, they will share. I'm sorry that moment was taken away from you and that your friend was a big TW

vvitchhazel · May 2017

@Marley629 Have you tried unisom and vitamin B6? I've found it does the same thing.

Marley629 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel I haven't but thank you for the idea! I'll stop and get some on way home from work. I'd rather give it a try than nothing at all!

txmomma16 · May 2017

@peachy13 OMG. WOW. What a TW. That's incredibly insensitive of her. Even if she was trying to be reassuring, there is a HUGE difference between that and being dismissive. I'm so sorry.

AFM - My TW is this day. Such a comedy of errors.

This morning I had trouble getting out of bed, and therefore, so did H. I HAVE to be at work on time, where as he gets to set his own schedule for the most part. Anyways, so I finally get out of bed and hurry to get ready, while he takes his leisurely time. We do my prog shots in the morning, so I had to wait for him to lollygag around, and finally, by the time we are done, I was just going to be on time. So we walk out the door together, and he gets into the truck and leaves immediately. Which would have been fine, except then the garage door didn't close when I tried to follow immediately. Apparently the way the sun shines is just right in the morning and it blocks the sensors so the door won't shut unless you stand just right and hold the button down. So I had to call H for help, and of course I was late to work.

Fail #1.

Work has been such a bear today. I am in HR, but somehow because we don't have onsite IT, and I know more than most, I am tasked with all IT tasks. So when things break, and many things have today, I am responsible. wtf. Fail #2

My H. Love him. He's a tech guy. Which means that my house is full of wonderful gadgets and gizmos, that usually work. When they choose not to work is usually when I am home alone. For example, when I come home from lunch to watch TV, and the app that controls the remote on my TV won't work, and fixing it is WAY outside my wheel house of technical skills. Fail #3

THEN! I get back to the office after work, and more IT things are broken. Guess who has to fix them? (Guess who is bumping instead of fixing them...) Fail #4

I keep waiting for my stomach to finally decide it has morning sickness today right in front of everyone at work. Or something equally awful. It would just work with this day.

Yes I know. #firstworldproblems. But Come on Universe!

ameliabedelia-2 · May 2017

DH is a TW today. I am sick as a dog and he's going to a baseball game after work....which means I get to pick up DD and take care of her all night while he drinks with work friends. If he didn't have work events planned 2 nights a week, it wouldn't be that big a deal, I just wish this once he would skip it so I could go to bed:(

@Marley629, does the Diclegis completely make your nausea go away? I haven't felt sick AT ALL since I started it about a week ago, and now my paranoia is setting in, making me think that maybe something is wrong (even though to a non-crazy it would just appear the medicine is doing what it's meant to do?)....I can't win.

Marley629 · May 2017

@ameliabedelia-2 yesterday I had no nausea or sickness whatsoever while taking it but Sunday, I couldn't keep anything down. Today is closer to yesterday than Sunday so I'm assuming my body is getting used to it as it's doing its job? I know others taking it that have had their nausea stop all together on it so I think it varies person to person! I'm sorry YH is being a TW and I hope you get some rest so you can feel better soon

MJDsquared · May 2017

@peachy13 UGH, that is extremely frustrating. It's totally okay to be suspicious that someone may be pregnant, but it's not okay to confront them about it. Just hold the suspicion and wait until the person is comfortable telling you. It's not rocket science!

@txmomma16 Oh no! I hope your day improves!

peachy13 · May 2017

@vvitchhazel @Marley629 @MJDsquared thanks! And I'm SURE there were other people on the trip who were on to me, but they are decent people who can respect my privacy until I tell them the good news in person when I'm ready.

@txmomma16 ugh sorry! I hope your day gets better! If I were you I would be looking forward to going home, taking a nice relaxing shower, getting comfy clothes on, eating a yummy dinner, and lounging on the couch until it's bedtime.

nz113 · May 2017

@ameliabedelia-2 I'm taking Diclegis and I still have all day nausea but no more vomiting. I wouldn't worry though if I were you as every woman handles MS differently and I had HG with my DD so I'm not surprised that I continue to have nausea

jlemons-2 · May 2017

@peachy13 that is unbelievably rude. One of my best friends was acting different at a wedding and I instantly knew she was pregnant, but I didn't say a word! I knew she'd be excited to tell me and I would never dream of outing her in front of everybody. Rude.

lestex · May 2017

This is pretty tame but really irritates me when we tell someone we're pregnant (in this particular instance, my husband's uncle) and their immediate response is, "Think GIRL thoughts!" Or "we're praying for a girl for you!" We currently have 2 boys and it frustrates me that people assume we have to have a girl to be a complete family. The point is we're not having kids and "trying" for a sex in particular,(spoiler alert- it doesn't work that way) we're having children because we want to have a big family. Maybe it's just that I feel like it'll be disappointing to some if we have another boy. Anyway, this uncle is now on my TW radar.

kater622 · May 2017

@peachy13 omg how thick headed can someone be!

katiegeminimoon · May 2017

Almost everyone we have told so far has neglected to say congratulations. Outside of parents everyone has just said "oh cool" or something equally lame. Maybe I'm selfish, but I expect people to say congrats!

Tennis11785 · May 2017

@ameliabedelia-2 - you're in the DC area right? So did your H go to a Nat's game? My H was there tonight too. Do you guys go to a lot of games? We try and make it to a bunch each year.

dkizz82 · May 2017

DD. She usually goes to sleep around 7:30 and is out until morning. It's 11:30 and she's been up 4 times. I am tired of being nice and I left her to cry herself to sleep. It took about 5 mins of crying but she keeps whining in her sleep. Lord, I don't know if I'm ready to do a newborn again.

splsmama2016 · May 2017

I am my own TW today.... Everything was irritating me today, including the fact that the last Home Chef meal (think Blue Apron but way better lol) we had was BBQ chicken pizza with caramelized onions. I HATE bbq chicken pizza!! But i ate it and it was decent. But I'm still irritated I had to try it. I also can't find the lid to DD's sippy cup, one of her onesies is missing, and I think her poopy one from this morning is still in a poo baggy in the trunk of my car. And I have been sick to my stomach all day.

This irritates me too. We haven't told our parents yet and when we told them we were pregnant last time, my SO's moms response was, "well are you going to get married?" She didn't even say congrats until we were ready to leave. I get that we arent married (and we still aren't), but why is that such a big deal now days. I'll be curious to hear what they say this time around...

drablnd · May 2017

@tmk0325 my so and I are not married as well and that was everyone's first concern and will be this time around as well

vvitchhazel · May 2017

@tmk0325 @drablnd We weren't married when we got pregnant with DD and we thought our families were progressive enough to not care... Until my now MIL got into a fight with my now husband and said that she's ashamed to tell people we were expecting. We should've known, because she would introduce me as fiance when I'd meet someone new. And she pressured my husband big time about proposing. I feel like her meddling definitely interfered with his plans and that it would've been much different if she'd backed off. Not that it ended up being bad or anything, I loved it... It just sucks that other people feel like they have a right to an opinion or say in your major life events.

cait5413 · May 2017

@sdLindenberg we're doing HomeChef this week! I think I am making the shrimp bisque tonight

splsmama2016 · May 2017

@cait5413 I can't remember if that was one of our options for this week. We got black bean enchiladas,Coconut Curry lentils, and Acapulco steak tacos.

cait5413 · May 2017

@sdLindenberg we had Barramundi with roasted veggies, shrimp bisque, and buffalo chicken fries! All were good.

AMCsquared · May 2017

@peachy13 what the heck is wrong with people !! Ughh.

OK ever since everyone was saying that waffle last week, now that's what my brain thinks it is

@ktcakes87 why aren't people saying congrats? ! That's so weird

katiegeminimoon · May 2017

@AMCsquared I don't know! It blows my mind.
