MMM Monday Morning Bitchfest

[Brie]

I am so, so done with work but have 3 weeks left. I have zero mental energy for this anymore and it hurts to sit all day. At least we have a 3 day weekend to look forward to?

My eyeballs are bright red and painful and neither of the two prescription eyedrops I have are pregnancy-safe. I look like a junkie and it burns like crazy, AND my boss made a crappy comment about me wearing my glasses to work since I usually wear contacts.

Your turn.

DS was whiny and cranky all day yesterday. All naps became 10-15 minute scream fests before he would go down. I was getting my period and not at all in the mood. I think I cried 3-4 times. Also I on week three of 1200-1500 calories and I feel a difference in my clothes, but the scale has not budged at all. It is getting really discouraging.

Brie I remember feeling that exact same way. Can you go out even a week early, and still take the twelve weeks after baby? It will be so benifical to have that week to yourself before baby comes, you will never ever have time like that again after.

[karinothing]

Daycare just sent out a notice that another infant has impetigo. THey santized everything and the kid wasn't in DS's room but I am paranoid anyway. I googled it and it doesn't look fun.

DS must be teething again because he seriously woke up once every hour last night. Luckily he didn't need me every time and would just cry for 2 minutes or so. But does he really need to scream at the top of his lungs with no warning. It scares the crap out of me every time.

Need sleep . . . .

[Brie]

And a CW just asked if I'm "thinning out and opening up" yet. OMG.

[ssmjlm]

I was gone from work for 8 days and my boss managed to do 1 thing and then proceeds to pile-on me when I get into the office.

OMG WTF people!

[Deleted]

Eww Brie! That's like when my male boss asked how dismayed I was. WTF?

I got a package in the mail from Similac on Saturday, because my due date would have been in a few weeks. I took myself off of every baby related email I got after the miscarriage, but I think Baby Center or the bump sold my info. It caught me so off guard, and I just sobbed for like 15 minutes.

[Deleted]

DS started getting a cold on Saturday. H always starts pushing that we should give him something (drugs)--drives me up a wall. Its a cold!

[Deleted]

Mine isn't MMM related but I need to bitch! DH never calls his mother so she always winds up calling me. Last time she did this was two weeks ago. I answered and she basically bitched me out and asked why he never calls her. I'm not my husband's keeper. I thought we had ended on a pleasant enough note. Nope. She emailed me last night saying she was so worried because she hasn't heard from us in two weeks. She never once tried calling me. It's not my fault your son doesn't answer your calls. Clearly I'm liking stuff on Facebook so I'm not dead. I already have a mother!

[Deleted]

Brie that is so nasty.

[Brie]

Yeah, I would be bitchy to her buuut she has, like, five really great candy dishes in her office that I raid regularly. I don't think I can make it through the next few weeks without candy.

I just smiled and said, "we'll see!"

[fortmyersbride]

Brie- I'm so sorry you're having a bad day. And I hated it when ppl felt that just b/c you're pregnant they can ask about the state of your cervix--I had male coworkers do that to me both pregnancies, yuck.

My bitch is that I just got my out of state work schedule for October. I work 3 days at a time there, twice a month. They usually spread the days out but this time grouped them on either side of a weekend (WThF and MTW). DS's bday is that Saturday. I realize there was no way they could have known that, I just didn't think my work days would get lined up that way

Today is my due date and I really wish people would stop asking if I've had the baby yet. If I had, I would have told you already, genius! Stop annoying me in the meantime.

And yes, I realize that I'm being petty and that it's nice that people care. I just needed to get that out.

Here ya go! I posted this on FB on my due date.

My SIL keeps asking when we are going to get pregnant. We're not sharing that we're TTC but it's super annoying. We're not pg yet, but IT'S NOT FOR LACK OF EFFORT!

[otowngirl]

Kids in DD's class at daycare (2-year old room) are apparently instructed to tell each other, "NO WALK AWAY!" when they are being bothered by another kid. DD, therefore, thinks it's appropriate to tell me and/or H to "walk away" when we're doing something that displeases her. Respect mah authoritah, DD!

(It is hilarious when she tells inanimate objects to "walk away," though. Haha.)

My husband actually slept in another room last night due to my constant coughing and throat clearing. I have been so miserable this entire pregnancy and it feels like it will never end!

[jr009j]

DH and I were talking last weekend about how lucky we were because DD is so easy, sleeps so well, and almost never cries. I feel like we cursed it, as she woke up every 3 hours last night crying insanely hard for no apparent reason. I'm really hoping she's teething because I'm not sure I can handle tears that don't have a reason.

When I dropped her off at daycare, she was exhausted and whiny. I felt guilty both for dropping her off and for feeling happy that I don't have to deal with her like this all day.

[pugz]

my ILs are coming for a week and I'm worried I won't get much quality time with G. At least I can hide out in the bedroom when she needs to be fed. The couch is more comfortable though, boo.

My mom keeps doing the opposite "Boy it's SO good you guys don't have kids! You're too busy/too broke/too small of an apartment, etc."

We'll always be busy, we just choose to spend our money differently (read: smarter) than you, and I don't need or WANT a big apartment.

E went through this phase too - she'd stick up her hand and say "walk away mom/boy/whomever, walk away"

I'm tired of living apart from my H and my dogs. This morning I woke up at 4am to stumble into my work clothes and hit the road because I wanted to spend one more night with them this weekend. I'm tired and crabby. Very crabby.

[Brie]

Also, my maternity clothes are getting too small/short and we went out to dinner Saturday night and I couldn't fit in the booth. Awkward.

[matildasun]

Thanks for this, I need a bitchfest today.

I am overwhelmed and don't feel like I am parenting anyone well.

I have to fill out forms for pre-school next week and listing my daughter's strengths and weaknesses is making me cry. She is being evaluated on Friday, because I am worried about her motor skills, and the two things together is causing me great anxiety.

My jaw has been hurting for a month, and last week I lost my nightguard, so it is worse. It hurts to eat, so I am not eating enough which is adding to my bad mood. I have to make an appointment to get a new nightguard and to evaluate my jaw. I am putting it off because of scheduling and the cost.

Also, I hate potty training.

[starlily]

This past week DD has been waking up at 6am, wanting to play. Previously, she'd sleep in until 7 & just kick back in bed with us for a while after that. I really miss that extra hour of rest.

[CloudBee]

The results from my bloodwork (possible clotting disorder) probably won't be back before we leave on vacation this week. One of the biggest vacations ever, ugh. Thankfully I will have access to the meds if the test comes back positive. I just have losing control, and I'm not quite sure how this week is going to shake out. Rescheduling would be almost impossible, and I had originally been cleared by my OB to go away. I hope that doesn't change.

[hannamaren]

I am going to adopt "walk away" when people displease me.
I love it

DD STTN for four nights over the weekend. Then last night she went back to her usual 3 hour routine. I wanted to

I knew it was too good to be true! Some people get good sleepers but we are not among them. I am irrationally angry about this, lol.

[ssmjlm]

So I called my doctor's office about my first appt since my BFP. Then the woman tells me I have to have some sort of doctor interview appt, etc and someone will call me back. I told her I'm already a patient of 2 doctors at the practice as they are aware of my previous medical history.

That appeared to mean nothing and that I "have to meet with all the doctors b/c there's no way to know who will be on call." Woman, I don't care about 8 months from now, I want to talk to MY docs about getting through this pregnancy w/o complications, not some random doc at the practice.

To be fair, this is standard operating procedure at most OB offices. ALL the docs in the practice do need to get up to speed on your medical history and it's not just for L&D--if there's some sort of complication or concern (God forbid) along the way, you may have to call and talk to the on-call doc earlier on.

It can be annoying, but it's better to familiarize yourself with the whole practice as early as possible.
