Because I feel like if I don't start one it likely won't get started. So here ya go.
I blew up on H this morning. Blew. Up. Oops. It's 3 parts frustration on the second damn topic 2 parts my fuse is incredibly short (which is likely somewhat pregnancy hormone related but also this introvert needs a break). I have already apologized by text but his response was robotic and just pissed me off again. So I think I am done for a bit. *sigh* and I feel guilty for being such an ass because he always does so much for us but this first tri he has been super man.
The weather is crappy today but I am meeting a friend at an indoor play place this morning which will be good for DD and I.

I'm here today. We'll see how long that lasts. I don't feel like working.
I had dinner with my cousin yesterday and told her the news. She is super excited and already offered to plan my shower! We started talking dates which seems so weird. I feel like it's going to come so fast since the summer always flies by!
On another note, CVS pharmacy is SO annoying. I had a prescription for estrogen before but I stopped it around 8 weeks. CVS decided that I needed to start getting the 3 month supply and automatically refilled it again. I didn't need anymore! They also just called me to remind me that I can refill progesterone which I don't need. My settings are NOT to automatically refill and to NOT call me to remind me, yet they do both.
I felt like garbage this morning. It's hard to tell what's from my recovery and what is plain old first tri awfulness at this point. Either way, no fun. After taking some phenergan and my pain meds, I'm feeling a bit better now. Thankfully!

Grrrrr, they have done this to me too! I have adjusted the settings both online and with someone who works there in person. Their system is flawed, I think.

Definitely flawed. And the worst part is that they call everyday to remind me to pick it up. I keep meaning to call and tell them I don't need it but I forget.
aggiebug Sorry for the argument with your H. I hate being at odds, and it stinks when you try and patch things up and the other party isn't super amenable.
DH and I have somewhat different fighting styles...we rarely argue, but when we do I want to hash/rehash/beat-the-horse-dead whereas he prefers to take a time-out and come back to the disagreement later with a cool head. That irritates me so I keep picking, he gets more irritated, etc.
Our last fight was over hanging the new draperies in our dining room. #FWP

I took off this morning! And I have to leave early to take the little ween to the vet so I'm literally going only to sign of on my monthly surgery center safety checks...oh and the rep hosted lunch.
I had a dream last night that we got our NIPT results in the mail and it said 'girl' on the sex results. I don't have much of an intuition so I'm wondering if it means anything...
Post by sophiegrace on Apr 28, 2016 9:45:38 GMT -5
Hahaha LizInFL you just described H and I to a T while fighting. Except I'm the one wanting to take the time out to figure out what I really want to say and he sits there picking old scabs. That man knows how to stoke the fires for sure!! Thank goodness we don't fight often. I'd kill him.
Keep on with the productivity! I'm jealous. My pj's may or may not still be on...
sophiegrace I can't remember, are y'all planning to find out the sex? It will be interesting to see if your dream was accurate!
I did not have many baby-related dreams when I was pregnant with DS, but in one I did have, we found out he was a boy. (Of course, I also dreamed I had a litter of kittens during that pregnancy, so go figure). I've had one dream this time around and in it we had another boy.
I actually read something recently that said women who are "more educated" (they qualified this as a HS or college education) are typically 70% accurate IRT predicting their baby's gender, b/c they usually base it on intuition vs. old wives' tales or similar. I thought that was kind of interesting.

We are! Our issue last time only happens in boys so while I'll get extra monitoring for a few months either way, it'll be much more of a relaxed pregnancy if it's a girl. We would have found out any way though because we both need all the info as soon as possible. I feel like while I honest to goodness don't care about the sex, H is still wanting a boy. Normal guy thing?

sophiegrace I had two dreams that I was having a girl and it ended up being a boy. My dreams can be an asshole though. I had lots of dreams while TTC that I got a positive and it never ended up being true. During the 2WW for this transfer, I had dreams that it didn't work and it did.
LizInFL that's interesting! I didn't really allow myself enough time to have an intuition about it. I was still in denial that it was even real.

goldenlove3 my dreams have been assholes too! This was literally the only nice one I've had in months. It finally didn't include murder or snakes and all the terrible variations that include those two things. Rude! I'm so glad your dream was wrong for this last 2WW!!
That's hilarious tgrimes1980. My OBs are lacking that skill big time. I wish dreaming was more understood so that we knew wtf our minds were up to making us think of such strange strange things.
I tend to think so. IIRC, DH admitted after we found out the sex last time to kind of wanting a boy. I honestly didn't care either way. In hindsight, I'm really glad we had a boy first. DH is a wonderful, very involved dad, and I think having a boy may have made it a bit easier for him just b/c he naturally relates to "boy things".
eta: I don't know why PB ate your post, sophiegrace! I was responding to your "is wanting a boy a normal guy thing?"
LizInFL That is me and H exactly. I just want to make sure we both get out what we need to, hash, rehash, beat that horse lol and then MOVE ON, it's over and done. He prefers to sit and stew and think about what he wants to say (or as I think, try to come up with a defense lol). I'm sorry you had a tiff with H aggiebug and I hope you're able to pick the day up from here!!
This baby dreaming stuff is my kind of thing, dreams in general I tend to love analyzing (granted I too have had some wild insane dreams so far while pg). I know it's not reliable, I get that. But I waited a long time to be pregnant so I wanna have all the fun guessing and enjoying and analyzing etc esp since its twins and we'll be one (two) and done. So I had a dream the other night one of the twins was a boy, I held him and saw his face and he was smiling at me. It bothered me that I didn't get a chance to see the other baby in the dream but I tried not to read into that since I woke mid dream to go to the bathroom.

Me too!! When my dreams aren't being jerks, they are usually pretty hilarious. H doesn't remember his dreams and I always tell him that he's missing out.
Speaking of weird dreams, my brother texted me to tell me about his dream. We were apparently running a kiosk at a mall (selling Rumchata or something, he couldn't remember) when Jeb and George W came up to talk to us. It got serious and sad, then they left. So random.

Yes sophiegrace! I was going to say the same thing. Actually, I was going to tell LizInFL that I hate her fighting style haha

I was at CVS yesterday and the pharmacist has known us for years. It's normally ready by the time we get home, but turns out my giant child's dosage was too high for his liking, so he had to call the doc to confirm that yes, my 2 year old is 36 lbs.
My mom stayed home with the invalid (he's fine, just ear infection), so I don't have to go nuts trying to work and entertain a kid that now says "put your laptop/phone away and play".

Haha! B has started closing my laptop when I'm in the middle of something (ok, ok, 90% of the time I'm just messing around on the internet). Message received, kid.

I keep dreaming that I'm doing something "wrong" during my pregnancy. Normally I don't remember I'm pregnant so I'm drinking or lounging in hot tubs for 2 days or last night it was riding water slides at an amusement park. I think it's me manifesting my anxiety about doing everything I'm supposed to do while pregnant and avoiding everything I'm not.

My H is also wishing for a boy. I honestly don't have a preference because I want one of each. I think it's a "man" thing.... We have several friends with little girls and H is great with them.
Thanks ladies I take most of the blame for this one. Yes he should be able to look in the dishwasher to figure out it is dirty instead of assuming it's clean because I haven't finished loading it... But my reaction was a little nuts this morning. I harbored my anger for a while and now we shall move on.
On the other topic du jour I think this babe is a boy. I knew DD was a girl mostly because H said he wasn't having a girl when we were dating (lol for days at that comment) so of course we had a girl who he obviously over the moon about. I have absolutely no cares about sex of the kid, I didn't with DD and don't with this one.
Miss super baby shower just wished us "congrats?!?" on the twins.
Questions marks?! Really?
I'm fuming. I had to log off before I responded with venom. Who. The. Fuck. says that?
Am I overreacting? I need unbiased opinions.
To play Devils advocate here. Not everyone would be thrilled about having twins so I can see not knowing exactly how you feel and trying to be cautious with a congrats.
It's like when the receptionist at work told me her unmarried daughter who doesn't have a steady job is pregnant. Congratulations?!? I think? I mean I know they are happy for a baby to love but maybe not the entire situation ya know?
All that being said she could also be being snarky for stealing her thunder by having twins how dare you.

ok, I get that POV. Thanks, that helps.
I admit I'm somewhat sensitive about the things she says, given our history and all the other negative shit she's said to me over the years.
I completely and totally understand and if I were on your shoes I would likely feel the same way. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to see the other view and that is ok.
