Stabby Saturday 5/12

What has you stabby today?

coffee-saur · May 2018

Oops @cdepperschmidt was this your thread to start?? sorry if I did your thing!

cdepperschmidt · May 2018

@coffee-saur I hope it wasn’t. I’ve been so busy lately I can barely keep up.

coffee-saur · May 2018

@cdepperschmidt I just looked in the 'board organization' thread and panicked that I posted your thread. If so,

I'm not stabby (yet) but my cat sure is. I gave her, her long overdue, haircut! It's a sorta lion-cut but I leave the tail, cuz it's so fluffy. So I have a 12/10 angry catto right now! Although, not quite as fluffy... Luckily, no injuries to report, thanks to wrapping her head in a towel, but, boy, was she mad!!

Except I use a trimmer, not scissors.

DH got back from a week long conference in Vegas last night. I was expecting him to be fully recharged and ready to jump back into things. Nope. He got spoiled not having to take care of anyone and is grumbling about everything. I had to beg him to get up with DS thing morning. I got up half and hour late (damn bladder), and was laying on the couch. Dogs hadn’t gone out or been feed. No breakfast was in the works. So I had to do all those things. Then he fell asleep so I took DS to swim class. He was still asleep when we got back.

DH and I got into a fight this morning (which is rare) and it completely ruined the last morning of our otherwise perfect babymoon trip. Fast forward to checking in at the airport and on top of already being in a bad mood, I find out our first flight is delayed enough that the airline said we'll probably miss our connecting flight. She had me take what I needed out of the checked luggage since we'd have to stay the night in Denver, and wouldn't be able to get back to FL until the morning. Do you think she was nice about it? Of course not, and my hormones responded accordingly so the attitude was dished right back. Needless to say, I'm pretty stabby.

A fox tried to attack DD1 at the park this morning when she was with my mom. It was apparently huge and looked kinda sick and weird. My mom looked up and it was stalking toward her and like 3 feet away when she saw it. She scared it away but apparently it looked like it was definitely going to attack her. I wasn’t with them, but I kinda want to go fox hunting now.

coffee-saur · May 2018

@DunkinDecaf that sounds like it had rabies! If a normally shy animal acts weird, it can mean it is sick. Is there an animal control or game & parks you could call? That would freak me out!

missmaehurt · May 2018

@DunkinDecaf That’s so scary! I’m glad nothing happened, wtf fox?!

DH is making me stabby. He’s been giving me crap about doing things all day. I took a long bath and did a mud mask and he grumbled the whole time about me not doing anything. I know he isn’t doing anything for MD so I am going to do something for myself.

Then I brought my baby book to dinner with my dad since he hasn’t seen it since my parents got divorced when I was three, and DH called it trash. That just sent me over the edge and I called him an a—hole, but he’s acting all butt hurt over it.

DunkinDecaf · May 2018

@coffee-saur yeah it definitely sounded rabid, though I didn’t see it. I didn’t even think to call the town but now I will. Good call!

DunkinDecaf · May 2018

@missmaehurt umm sounds like you were calling a spade a spade. I hope whatever bee is stuck in his pants flies away soon.

HoosOnFirst · May 2018

My SIL invited us to a mother’s day brunch at 2:30 tomorrow. First, my only request for tomorrow was to not make me go to a restaurant with kids. Second, that’s straight up naptime for DD. My SIL has two kids, is she high? We declined.

mytrueloves · May 2018

@missmaehurt What the actual fuck. Who says someone's baby book is trash? Hell I still have my *Dad's* baby book in my possession, even though it's completely empty, because my (dead) grandmother had doodled lovingly on the cover before. Things like that are precious! And he totally deserved to be called an ass, because he was one.

On the subject of "not doing anything", I've found that when DF asks me nicely for specific chores to be done when he gets home, I'm not only more likely to do them but I'm more likely to *enjoy* doing them as well. Example, this morning before DF left for work he asked me if I was planning on doing any cleaning today. When I said yes, he asked if I would add doing the dishes to my list because they were bothering him. I happily did the dishes first because I knew he would be appreciative when he got home. And then I organized his tools for him for the same reason.

Now things like "Are you ever planning on doing the dishes?" or any other condescending complaint will move the dishes to the bottom of my to do list, or remove it entirely. They say someone who feels appreciated will always do more than expected.

cjx95 · May 2018

@missmaehurt I'm so sorry your DH is being a douchecanoe... baby books are precious and irreplaceable memories and everyone deserves a spa day to themselves once in a while!!!
Must be something in the air with husbands because mine's irritating me too!! We're at his parents this weekend and it's like a light switch he's a completely different person, suddenly enjoys things he doesn't like normally, has a totally different attitude about him, is like subtly rude.. maybe it's the hormones but I'm ready to go home. This is why we don't visit often

mytrueloves · May 2018

DF unexpectedly sold our fridge today. Which was fine because we have our new one sitting in the garage ready to be put in. Cleaning out and removing the old fridge was a pain, but over quick and without much hassle. Installing the new one though? Complete mayhem for 4 hours. I actually got myself stuck behind the new fridge for a while.
And now I'm starting to have cramps and PGAL brain has already been intense this week.

DunkinDecaf · May 2018

@mytrueloves hugs. PGAL brain is such a jerk. Mine’s been bad this week too. I’ve been going back to repeating “today I am pregnant and I love my baby” in my head, which I haven’t had to do since I was pregnant with DD1. It does calm me down though.

mytrueloves · May 2018

@DunkinDecaf I'm having irrational panic because I'm 17 weeks and I haven't definitively felt the baby move yet. I know it's normal at this point to not feel movement yet, but all my apps say second time moms can expect to feel movement sooner and I felt movement at 15 weeks with DD. My logical brain says every pregnancy is different and I'm still in the range of normal for feeling movement for the first time AND I tend to be easily dismissive of any flutters as in my head or gas. But PGAL brain just goes straight to thinking the worst.

DunkinDecaf · May 2018

@mytrueloves more hugs. Do you know if you have an anterior placenta? That could be contributing. And it could be some of your gas bubbles have really been baby rolling around. Do you have a Doppler? Whenever I start getting really nervous that always calms me down.

knottieamusements · May 2018

I’m fine, my mom’s fine, but... It has been a hell of two days.

Yesterday, we get to the airport to return to St. Louis. As we are walking towards our gate, I get a text that the connecting flight has been canceled, and the airline was attempting to reaccomodate us. We go to the gate anyway and talk to the agent. She was able to completely rework our itenerary to get us back to St. Louis last night- four hours late. Still better than another night on the road.

We had a lovely day today, and went to Lowe’s to pick up some paint chips to talk about what color to paint the nursery. As I was pulling out of the parking lot, I got rearended. Nobody was injured, just a bit of crunchage to the car. But I’m pretty sure I am now going to be up all night worried about Blast. I don’t think there is any need to go to the hospital, but am keeping that option open if necessary.

mytrueloves · May 2018

@DunkinDecaf I'm not sure the placement of the placenta. I've only had 1 ultrasound and they didn't give me any information other than baby was measuring exactly on track. But I have considered that maybe I have an oddly placed placenta.
I convinced DF to buy a doppler a while ago but backed out after watching videos of people using them because once I saw how difficult it can be to find the heartbeat if you're not experienced, I knew I'd panic over it.
I'm sure that I *have* felt baby moving at this point but I'm so quick to dismiss it that as soon as I feel something and go "that was definitely the baby!" my brain immediately says "nope it wasn't. must've been gas."
I have my first prenatal appointment in a long time (long story) on Wednesday so I'll find out what's going on then. It's only a few days but it feels like forever.

cjx95 · May 2018

@knottieamusements so glad you and mom are okay and finally home!! Isn't it crazy all that traveling and you get rear ended that close to home?! If you feel weird at all of just by right definitely call your dr and mention it, and they'll tell you what to do!
Hope that your car won't cost too much to fix and the other driver has insurance!!

sammierose464 · May 2018

@knottieamusements I'm glad you're both ok. I'm sure Blast is fine, but I can understand the worry.

SawyerRichardson · May 2018

@knottieamusements What rough couple days! Sorry all that happened to you, but I'm glad you are alright.

SweetSweetTooth · May 2018

On vacation and I am stabby at dh. We wanted to do breakfast so he had me look up spots and we talked it over. Found a place that looked good and wouldn't break the bank. Now he is looking for buffet places and was mad I wasn't helping. Um dude we had a place picked and now you changed. Doesn't help my parents are along. Regretting inviting them and it was dh idea!

coffee-saur · May 2018

Hugs! I'll keep everyone in my thoughts.

My only complaint right now is I thought I'd get to have sex tonight, but now I feel like poop, so it's probably not gonna happen. Phooey.

rc-cola · May 2018

@knottieamusements that’s so scary! Glad you are both ok. Hope you get some relief from worry quickly!

On my flight home yesterday we had such terrible turbulence that they cancelled the food/water service and kept us in our seats for 3/4 of the flight. Both uncomfortable because girls gotta pee and also so shaky that I got worried for baby. But pretty sure all is well.

missmaehurt · May 2018

@knottieamusements How annoying about the flight and to top it off with being rear ended!

pajamstagrams · May 2018

@mytrueloves my doc told me I'd start feeling movement around 18w when I went in for my 16w appt. Still don't think I've felt much (feels like gas, damnit!) and I'm 17w6d today. (No idea where my placenta is)

DunkinDecaf · May 2018

@knottieamusements glad you’re both ok! Is the damage to the car looking expensive?

@mytrueloves that will be a relief!! I’m sure once you get in to the dr and hear the hb and everything there you’ll feel a bit better.

mamat2be · May 2018

I may sound like the crazy one but I just have to get this out. I have barely been in the mood at all since getting pregnant and I finally was tonight. So I pull my husband in the bedroom and was so glad to finally get back in the mood again. Well I made a joke that my husband smelled so good and I stank (bc I just didn’t have the energy to shower today) and instead of laughing it off he agreed with me. And it came across to me as being serious. So I immediately shut down bc I’m already feeling self conscious about some changes and it just didn’t sit well with him agreeing. So then he got upset and told me to just make up my mind (about whether anything was going to happen or not) like I was the one who pulled him in the room and then turned him down for no reason. I know I’m being sensitive but the only reason things stopped was because of what he said and how self conscious it made me feel. I know I can’t keep throwing it in his face that I’m the pregnant one and he’s not, but it is hard bc there are some things he will just never possibly be able to understand.

sammierose464 · May 2018

@mamat2be - next time, take the fun to the shower. That way you won't feel self conscious and you can have some fore play. Teasingly tell him that he can go rub you down in the shower then.

sammierose464 · May 2018

DH works in a plant that runs 3 shifts and only staffs enough for those shifts. Friday the afternoon operator called off, which DH believes may result in a 3-day suspension (the guy has used all of his call-offs and we are pretty sure this will be a 2nd write up for calling off this year). DH had asked this guy to switch him 4 hours so that he could come to my US on Wednesday (DH is working till 8 tonight and the other guy was supposed to come in at noon Wed). If the guy is suspended, DH won't be approved to leave at noon. I'm going to be LIVID if this guy screwed up the ability for DH to be at my US.

SweetSweetTooth · May 2018

@sammierose464 oh no!!! Hope it all works out so DH can be there! Can he take family medical leave for the US? I don't think one has to give advance warning nor need approval. (not fact checked!!)

sammierose464 · May 2018

@SweetSweetTooth I need to look into it. I have the paperwork for him sitting on my desk. I was planning on taking it to my OB next week to get it all finalized and submitted. I'm not sure if he has to have that filled out and approved first before being able to take the time. If he can get another guy to agree to cover 4-8pm on Wednesday, he can take an "early quit" at noon and go we think.

linssears4 · May 2018

@jellybelly114 I hope you made it home safely! Sorry to hear about all the travel woes this weekend!! I am just catching up on stabby saturday because i was still sick in bed all weekend recovering from strep throat. Gross!!!! I am surprised to hear about all of the tension with DH and DFs. My H and I have been duking it out the past few weeks as well over chores, sex, work, dogs... everything. Theres def something in the air. @mamat2be I hear you on feeling self-conscious about everything!!!!

coffee-saur · May 2018

@mamat2be I am in the same boat. I just don't have my libido back and even if I do feel like it sometime, my gut doesn't cooperate

I know how you feel about being self conscious! And for not being in the mood all of a sudden happens plenty. I know I've been moody and it's frustrating because just because you know your moods are all over the place, doesn't make it any better. Normally, it seems if I can tell I'm being grouchy, I can try and improve my mood, but with the crazy hormones going on... Just knowing I'm being grouchy, doesn't change it. I've talked with DH about that I know I'm moody and I'm not trying to take it out on him and hope he can understand. Because, believe me, I don't love being in a bad mood.
One night he was obviously wanting some action and was trying to get me in the mood and I just glared at him. He was like, ok I'll leave you alone and rolled over and was probably a little hurt, but I couldn't drum up any sympathy that night.

chopchop25 · May 2018

Man this was a lot this weekend for everyone! Glad on the whole everyone seems to be okay...hoping they find the fox and that all of the H's get their shit in gear. Massive creepy internet to legit everyone.
