Petty bitching

[MissDemeanor]

What's bugging you?

[lakegirl]

My darling dog. I don't know if it's the change in weather or if she senses something but she has been up my butt and in my space all week. On high alert too. Normally she's pretty chill and not a barker but she's at one window, then the door, then woof woof! She did this when we brought ds home. She has her food, she's been outside, she has her walk this morning. Why are you so squirrelly right now?!

[lakegirl]

My darling child. He clearly had too much fun with Grandpop while I was out today because now he is a super crank.

I'll keep you posted on if there's a my darling husband post. T-minus 3 minutes until he walks through the door!

These are mine x2. My girl is always my shadow, but she's closer lately. And they each set each other off at noises that I can't hear.

Yes dogs, take naps with mommy. No dogs, do not bark at every car driving down the street while taking naps with mommy.

DH. It's too long to get into, but let's just say our rental properties have seen more of him than his newborn son.

[weeklyplanner]

+1 to the dogs. I have two and while I love them, I want to ship them off!


And, why does all the food we have sound horrible? I'm starving, but nothing sounds good. I just want my normal appetite back. 38 weeks and I still have a ton of food aversion.

[MissDemeanor]

The fact that it's taken me 2 hours just to find time to write down my complaints

Annoyed spouse high five.

You know how many fucks I give about someone's broken fridge or frozen pipes right now? Zero.

Nevermind the basement suite downstairs that needed painting yesterday. It's not like I needed help Having just given birth

[MissDemeanor]

I still hate all the people. My mom has been giving a lot of advice lately that I neither need nor want. And my dad has been complaining about everything. He is turning into a Get off my lawn old man.

My mil arrives tomorrow so it's safe to say I'll be returning to this thread frequently

I stopped eating around the end of my pregnancy too. Except carbs

Godspeed. I honestly don't know how you all manage to welcome the MILs into the house after just giving birth. I know it's basically impossible to say "no." You deserve a medal!

[thelittleredm]

Everything. Does that count?

[lakegirl]

pibblemom and weeklyplanner, they know. The dogs just know.

[pibblemom]

UO: I can't wait for my MIL to come cook and clean for me. Just dnw her baby advice.

Ditto the food thing weeklyplanner. I had naively assumed my appetite would come back after DD was born, but instead I just ate cereal for dinner because it was *there*. Ugh.

That's how I was after DS was born. At least it helped lose the baby weight? But, I'm so sick of everything tasting horrible.

Great thread...I want to LT everyone's posts bc I'm right there too. Annoyed with H and sadly the older kiddo, she's just been a moody toddler and I just can't handle the stress of her tantrums while trying to nurse the baby and stay calm. And H said tonight how tired he was. Fuck off dude, I can only imagine how tired you are after getting 7 hrs of sleep and not having to get up in the motn to do anything ::eye roll::

Did you throw something at him? A pillow, a shoe, perhaps a hammer?

Oh man. H just decides to take naps at inconvenient times which means I tend to skip possible nap times because he doesn't usually take DS1 for his naps.

Thank goodness he's pretty helpful for MOTN help. I usually wake up and get W to nurse him but H usually offers to take over if W doesn't stay asleep when he's put back down.

I welcome no one. I said no, so she's staying at my BIL'S. But she's still pushing to stay anyway.

Petty Bitching story time:

When R was born she came and stayed with us for about 4 days. She would sit up at night, in case I needed help. Not get up if R and I were up, but literally sit awake in the living room, just in case.

And then complain the next day how tired she was because she didn't get to sleep.

[judyblume14]

I'm hungry. And sleepy. I'm not allowed to eat, and can't get comfy to sleep.

[lakegirl]

MissDemeanor whut. I'm so confused by that. Sounds like my mom, she must always be the martyr.

So my RCS is scheduled for Wednesday at 7am.

My IL's are coming down Tuesday. I have made it plainly clear to my family and to DH that Tuesday is my day with DD and I really don't want company (other than DH if he so chooses). We are going to lunch somewhere and maybe the park and then just chilling at home the rest of the day. I'm SO emotional about our one on one time coming to an end (irrational, probably but still very real to me). I swear to you ladies, if those people end up at my house Tuesday I will be love blogging this birth from jail!!!

I have asked DH to ask his parents to wait until the week after to come down. I don't know if he hasn't asked or if they just aren't willing to wait. Ether way I'm pissed.

We have hardly no relationship with them. They live 13 hours away and never ask about DD or how she's doing. When we send pictures they never say anything. His mom and I couldn't be more polar opposites. There would be absolutely no love lost if they just didn't show up at all.

I REALLY hope your DH asked them to come the following week. Do they think they're coming to be helpful with DD while you're in the hospital? Or do they just know that the baby is coming and want to meet the new one asap?

[silvermelody]

Yikes geauxtigers79. I say make your plans with DS and stick to them regardless. It's DH's fault if he can't talk to his own parents.

Of course I don't think I'd have the balls to do the same thing. Or at least not for the whole day.

[silvermelody]

My freaking dog. Last night at started licking her lips frantically before bed and then ran outside and ate a bunch of grass. So of course all night she was whining and wanting in and out. Her tummy must be upset. So after getting up twice at 2am and 3am to let her out, I just left her out there. I feel bad because it was cold (for California) but I was over it.

I found a bunch of grass vomit by the door this morning. Ew. Glad I didn't step in it last night!

[silvermelody]

DH is having some stomach issues and it results in our bedroom becoming a fart chamber at night. It is so gross. If I roll over to face his side of the bed I get a node full of fart. I bought an air freshener for my side of the room, I'm going to deploy it tonight

[lakegirl]

silvermelody I'm so sorry for your nose but I am dying at "fart chamber"!

[heybulldog56]

Everyone at the hospital keeps telling me to rest but these assholes are coming to my room every 20 minutes. I just had three visitors in under half an hour. I just want to order my fucking chicken tenders and eat in peace.

This was my entire second day waiting to get discharged. Just about the time I'd give into taking a nap, a nurse or specialist would finally show up. Thank goodness I had no visitors that day except my MIL coming to stay with me in the morning and my mom coming in to relieve her (H refused to let me be alone while he was stuck working).

Three more hours left of work, and I want to say "fuck it." I found out who made the "spin class" comment earlier in the week. It was my flight commander, who is unmarried and never been pregnant. She compared me coming to work and being functional for 8 hours a day to her sister going to a spin class for one hour every few days up until she gave birth. And my supervisor decided to wait until today (when I could honestly care less) to do my feedback session that we have had the last two weeks to do.
