My weekend went by so fast. I keep trying to get on here and post more...often I’m just scrolling and lurking and leaving “love tits” on others’ comments...
We find out the sex this week, I’m a little nervous. My husband really wants a boy, I don’t really care. DD wants a girl, but says she will be happy if it’s a boy which makes my heart melt.
We went to a friend’s 1st birthday party for her son today, it gave me all the feels.
@Firemanswife11 I still get random cramps on and off and sometimes I would even consider them similar to mentrual but they don’t last long, more come and go. I remember this with DS as well
This sounds like me. I actually googled “cramping at 14 weeks” today because I wanted to see what is considered normal.
I’m so irritated tonight for no real reason. We got back from our little road trip and I’m just overwhelmed by how tired I am and how messy our house is. It feels like DH truly takes time off work when he’s home and I’m never allowed to take time off. I need to just sleep for a week and then I’ll be better. So, I guess I’m actually irritated for many reasons.
**Stuck in the box** I could have written this same thing exactly. I basically had a meltdown last night, really for no reason other than I never get any alone time / me time. I haven't had more than an hour to myself basically since DD was born. DH takes time off and lounges around or leisurely works on his "to do" list...which is made up of things he literally put on it, so chores/projects he's actually interested in doing. I, however, have zero sick/vacation time, and when I do take some time, it's because I'm literally sick or DD needs to go to the doctor. The only time I get out of the house alone is when I go to the grocery store. And I'm extra irritated because DH will be gone for 5 days in March for a bachelor party, so I'm already thinking ahead about how he gets a "vacation" and ..... who knows when the next time I'll get to take a baby free day/night is...
@juliebird6 the love-it is a hug. I’m so sorry, that sucks. Some men just don’t seem to get it and I feel like I constantly have to spell it out to DH what I need. You’d think after being together for 11 years he’d catch on *eyeroll*. Do you have some friends you can make plans with every couple weeks? Or schedule a massage? Or just hand the kid to DH and get out for a couple hours. See a movie? I hope you’re able to get some alone time soon. You need to refill.
I told dh last night I was tired of the mental load of being a wife. Like, all the household details are left up to me while he parents from behind his phone. It’s so frustrating. It’ll be better for a few days but then back to the way it was.
I feel the same way about DH in a way. Men just think differently about what needs to get done and what should get done.
When DH goes away for the Army I know it’s not always easy but he’s still away and doesn’t have anything else to worry about. He can eat dinner in peace, watch tv alone at night depending what he’s doing. He may be focusing on other stuff, but there’s no outside distractions.
@ladygali Yeah, he is usually really understanding so I just need to actually make some plans. I think I might just tell him that he's in charge this weekend so I can go to the mall or something by myself. I do have a gift certificate for a massage too, but I was thinking about saving it for 3rd tri.

Use it now then get another massage in a few weeks
