Someone tell me I'm not the only irritable one lately. Can we air our rational/irrational vents today?
Mine: I get so mad and judgy of the young people I work with who always take the parking spots closest to the building. We are a shelter program where we have clients who come for appointments. Be respectable and not so damned lazy.
I'm a big angerball lately. I blame lack of sleep and wonky hormones.
Vent: My childless friends who post things on facebook like, "Napping makes me feel even more tired." Fuck off. Seriously. Fuck. Off. I know that having children was our choice, but do not think for a minute that taking care of your dog, or having one late night at work equates to the utter sleep deprived hell of a bad night in newborn/baby/toddler world.
To any FTMs on the board - I am not posting that to scare you - you get through it, I promise, and it does go very, very fast. What irks me is that people who do not have children throw up some false empathy like they've BTDT because they had a deadline for a project, or a collie who ate too many pieces of jerky.
My three year old is irrational and a complete mess these days. She's much much worse than me. And sadly, I just don't have my typical amount of patience with her so DH has been doing most of the wrangling lately bc I just can't.
We created a secret registry (2nd baby) just to keep track of everything we needed to replace/buy. DH and I sat down last night, went through the list, and bought 95% of it. It should be delivered in the next week and I already feel better that we have that stuff coming.
DH also said he would install the car seats this weekend. I plan to pack for the hospital over the next week or so.
nitecheese it's the ones who are all "sleeping in" and when I call them on how nice it must have been they're all "well it's the first time in x weeks". Shut up. I won't get to sleep in until they're teenagers or not at home. Even then my body has probably forgotten how.
I was totally absent yesterday - tapatalk still doesn't work on my iPad and my phone is currently shattered. I had a scary day - just after my OB appointment I was leaving and my knee (which has always had problems) gave out on the stairs and I fell forward and down an entire flight. It was in an open area and a million witnesses, including my OB who was behind me and made me go in an ambulance and get monitored at the hospital.
Luckily baby and I are mostly fine, my belly did strike a stair and is very bruised (as is the rest of me), but so glad since it could have been worse. 4 hours of monitoring showed nothing but occasional BH contractions which they deemed formal and baby's heartbeat was strong and plenty of movement.
I'm just super sore today. It might be a tv day for DD. I wish my husband stayed home but I felt guilty asking when I know I'll need him when baby is born and he only has so many days and yesterday he came to the hospital.
Oh my goodness. cattuccino, I am so glad that you and baby are ok. That is very, very scary! Rest as much as you can and don't give a second thought to tv time for DD.
I have my last US today and my first of my pants off appointment. Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't have GBS this time, penicillin hurts going in!
Good luck at your appointment today shoogars! Remind me, when does the first pants off appointment usually happen barring any issues? I need to shave my legs in preparation.
Oh my gosh, cattuccino, so scary! I'm so glad you and baby are ok. I hope the soreness and bruises go away asap!
I have a follow-up with my OB today from my latest hospital trip. I'm terrified. I was 3-4 cm when they let me come home, but if I'm any more dilated today that's it...
cattuccino, so sorry for your fall! Hopefully you recover quick.
I wouldn't say that I am irritable. But, just emotional. Over everything.
I have shin splints which hurt so bad. I am pretty sure my weight has shifted or my hips are spreading because I was fine two days ago. I also need new shoes so bad but want to wait till after baby to purchase new running shoes. Two weeks and six days left...
Oh my gosh, cattuccino , so scary! I'm so glad you and baby are ok. I hope the soreness and bruises go away asap!

Keeping my fingers crossed that your cervix has Fort Knox levels of lock down going on.
Good luck at your follow up today pbandj714. I've been thinking and praying for you and your babies.
I have some leg pain too bighair12. Do you think yours is pregnancy related? I wasn't sure, but it sure does hurt. How are things going with doing your classes online? How did your interview go?
pbandj714, good luck at your doctor's appointment! Lots of closed cervix thoughts.
babyzebra, thanks for asking. Classes are good. I am glad that I get to participate online while my classmates are there. I am missing thesis presentations today. I do mine via Skype next Wednesday. The recruiter told me my offer should be emailed to me within the week. Which is exciting. He said that it will all be taken care of prior to baby. I have my doubts since it took 3 months to get my interview arranged! I am just ready to have a "real" job lined about after graduating!
Also.. I know I'm feeling hormonal when the trailer for the Bad Moms movie made me cry! Have you seen this... it's great! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKCw-kqo3cs
pbandj714 - Good luck today. I hope things stay exactly how they were when you left the hospital.
cattuccino - that is so scary. I'm super glad that baby looks great and the result wasn't more serious for you.
I'm so irritable. Like everything and everyone is making me upset. Work is throwing me over the edge and it's stuff that really shouldn't get me so upset and normally wouldn't.
I think DD senses that baby sister is coming soon. She's acting out in all sorts of ways but the biggest being bedtime. Demanding me instead of MH, pouring water all over her bed, screaming and crying, waking in the night. Last night after 45 minutes of trying to get her back to sleep from 3-345 AM I caved and let her come to our bed. Why child why?!?!
I was literally up every hour last night. I'm so uncomfortable and irritable! My DD and I got into a big fight over dinner last night. She has been a terror as of late, and I know it has to do with being stuck inside all the time (been cold and raining for days). Everything I say turns into an argument and last night I had just had enough! So I was upset about that, and then had horrible anxiety every time I woke up. I am also having these weird dream things where I think I'm awake and I hear stuff like my kids coming down the stairs and I think it's real. So hard to explain...it happened twice last night. The first time I thought my kids came downstairs and we're playing in the living room, the second time it sounded like my daughter fell out of bed and was screaming. I wake up with my heart beating out of my chest! It's so strange!
Speaking of reacting hormonally to videos, this one made me ugly cry when I watched it yesterday. *Do not watch at work if you don't want to be seen crying.
Sorry about the tough times with your DDs nymama917 and broadwaymama. They should magically turn into perfect children when the baby comes, right?? Am I the only one hoping for that miracle?

Funny thing is babyzebra anything that has to do with baby calms her. She loves talking about it and snuggling my belly. Also when my nephew is around (8mo) she is super helpful! I think she is very excited to be a big sister...hopefully it lasts!

Oh, no, I'm dreaming that this will be my reality. The last couple weeks DD has been really easy (which is usually not the case, so I apologize and commiserate with those of you whose children are NOT being little angels right now)... so I keep thinking that she'll probably flip her terrible switch to the ON position here in a couple weeks and stay there. I'm so scared of how I'm going be a decent mom when i'm completely sleep deprived.
I am with you on this one. I know that there have been times I've been short with DS because I'm feeling crappy and exhausted. Throwing newborn sleep deprivation into the mix is not going to be fun. I never want him to feel like it is his fault that I'm a cranky mom.
Good luck at your appointment today shoogars! Remind me, when does the first pants off appointment usually happen barring any issues? I need to shave my legs in preparation.
