Monday Vents

[mswax]

Here is mine:
MS has started. I'm hungry all time and feel sick if I don't eat. However, I'm trying REALLY hard to not gain weight in the first tri. DS2 was a mega baby that was too big for me to push out, so I ended up with a C-section. I need to do everything I can to ensure I have a 7lb baby this time around if I want a VBAC.

Yours?

My sister is starting to piss me off. I understand she's been through the pregnancy thing numerous times with her friends (she's one of the youngest out of the group) but if she gives me her opinion on whether she thinks something we did is stupid or not I'm going to go off on her. Her latest "thing" is that according to her we told our families too early, and of course sheeeeeeee'd wait til after an u/s and seeing the hb. I know her personality is like this anyway (she did the same thing when I got married, and then again when she got married in August w/r/t comparing what I did to what she did/would do) but damn I'm about to give her the verbal smackdown.

I'm constantly nauseated. It sucks.

My doctor's office had me wait 45 minutes for my first appointment today...did not enjoy that, especially with no cell service in the waiting room. On the plus side, healthy heartbeat and 8-week-old baby

Good news Lorelai!

Its Monday, I'm exhausted, its all rainy and blah here. I too and am fighting a cold and the excess mucus makes me gag as well. Spectacular.

[baconlettucetomato]

Esquire that sucks! Lots of water, sleep and vitamin C! Maybe wear a respirator? lol

This kid must really like having his feet in my ribs, because they've been there for days. It feels like a constant stitch in my side. The only way it feel better is if I lay down, which I obviously can't do at work.

Speaking of work, I have to work in the back room in the mornings (pulling books, printing postage, boxing them, and sending them out). It's COLD back there! The building used to be a grocery store, and our back room is where the refrigerated section was. There is NO insulation at all, and just a flattop roof above me. It's 25 degrees here today, and the back room definitely feels it. I spent 2 1/2 hours back there.

Here's some crazy to start your week off.

I am spotting again after my first (medically sanctioned) orgasm. Now I don't get to have any more until the new year. Hurray!

[baconlettucetomato]

NQB that blows!

[sake]

Someone at work has whooping cough, and they're at work anyway. I called my doctor, they are freaking out... This person needs to leave my building, so that I can keep going to work... Ugh

Oh screw that person. I'd be so pissed.

[iheartvino]

Sakelp - that sucks. Who would leave the house with whooping cough? That shit is contagious!

Yeah and we are teachers!! Well, she's an assistant, but still... She's with kindergarteners all day. I'm so pissed that she's putting others in danger

[iheartvino]

My vent is that I tested positive for being a carrier for CF. H is taking his good sweet time getting tested. He says that it doesn't matter, because we're keeping the baby, either way. Which is true. But I'd still like to know if he is a carrier or not.

Oh yea. Especially kids! My coworker's daughter had it when she was six month, poor thing. She was in the hospital forever. She was a small to begin with, being a premie, but she's 3 and the tinest 3 year old I've ever seen.

I don't understand how somebody could go to a school with that. Even if the kids are all vaccinated, they could take it home to their siblings, who might be too young to be vaccinated. Or am I just making that up?

[urbancowgirl]

My vent is that I'm suddenly breaking out in places where I normally don't get acne. My chest, along my hairline, on the back of my neck, right next to my lips... annoying.

People who go to work while sick are the worst. I used to give coworkers so much shit when they showed up sick, because we had a very generous sick leave policy.

[sake]

I've been having random acne my whole pregnancy. I'm definitely ready for that to be over

[baconlettucetomato]

I constantly nag coworkers who come in sick. We're salary, go home and sleep and make up your hours another day. Or work from home. Don't bring that shit in here!

[jssymom14]

I have a horrible cold sore that just started yesterday. I have never had a cold sore until this year, my younger brother and sister used to get them but I was always lucky not too. BOOO~

[Deleted]

People who work sick are gross. But I'm the asshole who jumps at the chance to take my personal leave.


My vent is I don't really feel connected to this pregnancy, and it's pissing me off.

I've been dealing with the same thing...I feel like I've just been kind of ambivalent. It's not like I don't want to be pregnant or anything, I'm just having a hard time getting excited so far.

Does the principal know?? That's so dangerous. I would be talking to my union rep. Unsafe conditions and all that.

[sleepyheads]

Sick coworkers are the worst! I've had a low grade temp since Saturday, along with a super sore throat and headache (thanks to my husbands coworkers that got him sick, and then he got me sick). I'm miserable and now worrying about the baby. Bleh...at least my first appointment is in a few days.

[emisi]

I was that coworker who came in sick just recently. In my defense, I really did think I was better! Then I wasn't. I went home as soon as I started feeling crappy again. Having the flu while pregnant sucks, btw.

My vent: the kid keeps sitting in uncomfortable positions. I just had to poke at what I assume is a leg to get it out of my rib cage. I couldn't bend over. Apparently he's just like my husband, wants me to have perfect posture at the computer.

[yellowbrkrd]

My nausea is still in full force. I want to feel better already!

Also, DH is out of town this week and he has been doing everything for me lately because I feel so shitty. I'm feeling sorry for myself and my dogs are acting like big assholes today.

[ladystardust]

Not really a vent I guess, but haven't done anything to prepare for this baby yet. Haven't even picked up a book.

And holy crap at all the sick co-workers. My co-workers will spray you with Lysol and make you go home if you just cough the wrong way.

The principal has been notified now. We don't have a union, it's every man for themselves...
