Monday Gripefest

[danenikki]

I'm so tired. I didn't sleep at all last night. I just want to go back to bed.

I miss food and hate everyone who isn't my husband. I only like him from distance so he cant make me motion sick.

LO started at a new school and it's a co-op, so LO's dad and I have to do an orientation to figure out our membership duties and how they'll be divided, etc.

First of all, he keeps not responding to the email thread, so we've been trying to schedule for 3 weeks for no reason.

Then, we had tentatively set up a meeting this morning, but he hadn't responded. I texted him this morning, no answer. I called the person we were meeting this morning, no answer. I went to the school because I hadn't heard a for sure yes or no from either of them and waited 20 minutes before ex texted that he wasn't coming. Waited 10 more minutes to see if the person from school was coming, but nope.

It was nice to see LO, but I could have slept in this morning! And maybe I shouldn't have gone in, but I didn't want to be the one they were waiting on, you know? I'm mostly just annoyed that it's been this difficult for ex to set up this damn meeting. We keep throwing out dates and he keeps not responding....

I opened the fridge this morning and a can of pop flew out and landed on my big toenail. It's bleeding under the nail and my toe has a heartbeat And I can't take any Motrin!

Why the F won't this nausea go away? It's not even letting up a little bit. Come on, hormones. Give me a break!

My 17 month old has been having diarrhea for 9 days now. The doctors office said nbd, BRAT diet and probiotics should take care of it. I called today and finally demanded an appointment. I'm not watching him suffer another day.

Sorry, I'm really in a bad mood today! Usually I try not to be so negative, but I can't help it.

My clinic does MaterniT21 Plus for their screening. They said they'd only recommend it if it's appropriate at the time of my NT scan, not sooner. And that's if they see anything that would warrant the test. I suppose I should feel good that I may not meet that criteria but I've had so much shit happen to me in the past it's making me more anxious knowing I may only get it if they see something on the scan.

I feel like shit. It sucks because I felt really good by the end of the week last week and thought the MS was going away. I don't know how those of you who teach do it while dealing with MS. At least I can sit in my office and sulk by myself for the most part.

I was able to get away with taking 1 diclegis pill in the am and 1 at night. Now they don't seem to be helping my nausea, even if I take another during the day. I'm so over it. Come on 2nd tri!!!

Also, a friend of mine asked me today if we're doing a fb announcement. I told her we might not and she tried telling me we had to, and what if the baby finds out when it's older that we didn't do one.

I want to TP her. She knows. My family knows. Wtf is the big deal to her that we announce? ? I'm just ignoring her now. So annoying.

I feel you on the nausea. I'm taking two Diclegis at night and I'm wondering if I need to add it back in in the mornings. I don't feel like it helps all that much, but then if I skip it, it's terrible. I hope relief is just around the corner for us!

I'm not sure I'm doing a fb announcement. There is no way in hell our kids are going to care one way or another whether we made it "Facebook Official" we were pregnant with them. As long as we acknowledge their existence at some point in time, I don't think they will harbor resentment.

sosayweall - OUCH!

PiradicalMaid - Your ex sounds...yeah.

There are reasons he is an ex. Also, he seems to be what I gripe about the most on Mondays. Sorry if it gets old!

[lecky11]

Lol @unicornofthesea. Is your friend 14 years old? And if that's the one thing your kid resents you for in the future, I think you did okay with the parenting thing.

Our kids probably won't even care about Facebook. There will be some new social media platform by then.

My wonderful partner is cleaning the bathroom, which is usually my job, and acting like she deserves a trophy or award.

Can I have this vent too?  My clinic also will do the cell-free fetal DNA blood testing only IF something shows up on my NT scan.  I would have happily paid for both tests, but wasn't given the option.  I'm having my NT scan done at a maternal-fetal-medicine (high risk) clinic though, so I'm hoping they might give me the option.  Wishful thinking?

My clinic told me since I didn't have risk factors (the losses don't count since we weren't able to have chromosomal testing for either one), we'd have to go to a MFM clinic. Hopefully that means it will be an option there for you! In our case, the dads decided to wait, but I really don't understand why a more reliable test isn't the standard. My guess is it's new/expensive? I think it's annoying clinics won't even do it OOP, though. Boo.
