Twatwaffle/Trophy Tuesday - 9/5

Re: Twatwaffle/Trophy Tuesday - 9/5
@balletnerd That's so awful! I'm always paranoid about that too. That's the one thing I miss about apartment living, is the office taking packages for you. I have notes for UPS to leave our packages on the side of the house, which is inside the fence, but sometimes they ignore it and FedEX/USPS still leave them on the porch.
TW is DH! This morning I said, "I wish I could just get a PSL before work every day." And he goes, "I'm going to have to lock you in a closet." I was like, WTF, and he goes, "To keep you away from sugar." For one thing, I said I wish...I don't want to leave early every morning or spend the money every morning. Also, his paranoia is getting really effing frustrating. I get it, I have PCOS (NIR PCOS) so I'm more likely to have GD...but you don't have to comment on everything I eat, and you know what, I'm going to eat ice cream or drink a PSL now and if I fail my GD testing, I'll obviously have to deal with that then. He's being such a killjoy!

My TW complaint is for my mom. Who is wonderful and supportive and stresses me out so much. After a mostly non-contentious visit yesterday she tells me, literally on her way out the door, that my "face is getting a little dark" and it's probably a mask of pregnancy thing, but it will probably go away when the baby is born. And it "doesn't look too bad yet". Thanks, mom. Because I'm not stressing about enough right now. DH says he doesn't see it, and that my mom is just crazy.
DW posted a picture of me facing sideways, showing off the bump on the beach during our vacation this weekend. We got so much love and great responses, but of course the one insensitive awful comment is the one ringing in my mind today... a friend of DW's who I don't even know made some comment like, "oh wow! My wife was pregnant around the same time last year and due the same time, and you could barely tell yet!"
Uggggghhh.
Thanks dude.
Due date 12/9
I can't figure out the pregnancy countdown tickers, but I do know how to make a signature!
#40andpregnant
As of 12/15/2017, my new hashtag is #41 and pregnant!
TW to whatever jackass(es) decided to set off fireworks and cause a massive wildfire about an hour away. Now the air quality is shit (it's seriously like 'snowing' ash here) and also it's super hot and now we can't sleep with the windows open to try and cool it down in our house that doesn't have AC. Aside from those selfish and less important reasons, tons of people are being evacuated and the fire is encroaching on Multnomah Falls which is a beautiful and popular spot to hike and it makes me sad.
DH's dad works for a Catholic organization and DH's dad as well as another employee who runs their social media are very pro-social justice (you know, like Jesus would've been) and every time the FB page posts something I always read the comments to see the idiotic, closed-minded responses. Not sure why I do that because it's infuriating. But anyway, today they posted something saying, "The Holy Family was a migrant family" (you know, because of the DACA thing). All the people who responded saying, "Yeah but they were legals!" and also another guy who just kept spouting about how Muslim countries don't allow Christians to build churches or practice their religion there (how is this relevant?) are major TWs. I'm not religious at all and I just don't understand how people who follow a religion based on Jesus so completely miss the entire message of Jesus.
@acgonzalez22 That's so scary. I hope your family all stays safe. I'm hoping Irma somehow changes course or doesn't end up being as bad as they're currently anticipating. Hugs to you!

Hes also being nice about my mom coming to stay since his sister needs to come stay here some weekends as well so it just relieves all my stress i had about the situation after delivery :-)

DH is being a TW today. He won't let me redecorate our bedroom, which will be shared with baby, in peace. He is pushing back on the smallest things like replacing an old lamp and getting curtains where we only have a basic roller shade. It makes me feel like I'm being frivolous but I'm not even spending much- I've been forgoing much more expensive things he was down for (like getting a new couch in the living room/moving to a bigger place). I just want everything to look good in our bedroom/nursery combo and he is taking all the fun out of it!
They helpfully called my husband today to let "me" know about the "health resources" they offer. Which are all weight loss related.
He said, "Uh, you know she's currently 6 months pregnant with twins, right?"
There was a pause as they tried to find an appropriate, scripted response. "We just want her to know about the resources available to her!"
To add insult to injury, I've only gained a net 5 lbs. with this pregnancy, and eating is miserable due to heartburn. Just...GAH!
They did "cross my name off the list". Thanks. Sheesh.
I am sorry your DH is being that way!!! My SO always trying to rearrange or decorate but then complains when we dont have money lol. We have cleaned out the house so no more doing stuff till we get baby shower stuff :-).
