I feel like first tri is back with a vengeance on top of all the third tri fun. In the morning I'm nauseous and gassy. At night, I'm cramping and having BH. My boobs hurt like crazy again, my energy is in the negative levels and I've been an emotional wreck. I'm still not sure if my itchy hands and feet are PG related. Today my body has decided it would be fun to add in wrist and hand pain, I'm guessing because of the rain and humidity here. I feel so bad DH has had to deal with me the past week or so.
Last night I managed to pour a bottle of water on myself lying on the couch trying to take a sip (pregnancy problems!) and I jerked up as a reflex. Today it feels like I ripped a ligament in my right groin area. SO painful. Luckily it's a holiday so I'm just laying in bed while DH installs the car seat, etc. I'm also super constipated again so I've decided I'm going to take Colace daily from now until baby's arrival as a preventative measure.
Ooooo thanks for the reminder about the Colace. I totally forgot about starting to take that now.
My bitch- I won't be seeing my ob again): his wife is also pregnant and is having a scheduled csection on the 3rd so he is now off to spend time with his family, which that's great but I want my ob!): why oh why couldn't this baby be born before he left or why couldn't they schedule their c section till after?Darn it! Lol. I'm totally kidding, kinda. My ob has just been so amazing ever since I first saw him back when I had a miscarriage and through this pregnancy. I really wish he would be delivering this baby.
My damn right hip is just fucked. There's not much more to say about it.
And I have become the pregnant lady that has not filter for my words or my bitch face apparently. I am about 39 weeks pregnant and my in laws decide to show up out of nowhere with SIL and her four kids.. The two year decides he wants to get into every thing and ride on DDs power wheel. Which DH made specifically for her because she can't use her legs and is smaller then the average five year old. Like less then 30 pounds. I don't know how many times I told him to get off in front of SIL. She even told him. Well I finally told DH to put it up in a very no fucks given kind of way. And every time he got into something or did something he wasn't supposed to I guess I had an evil bitch look on my face. I normally try to hide it better but not today. No fucks were given.
@ktpatter I'm doing the same thing with the Colace! I can not deal with constipation these last three weeks...I haven't been able to go since finishing my antibiotics last weekend and it's so miserable. Colace twice a day till the end!!!
I am so over being pregnant. I'm exhausted, my leg cramps are off the charts, my back is killing me, I'm a mean person who wants everything to go my way, and I can NEVER get comfy! Then, I somehow got a lovely sunburn despite the 50spf I put on when we went down the shore yesterday. Legs, arms, chest, belly...nothing escaped. So I've been applying aloe and drinking water like crazy to make sure I keep my body temp controlled. And of course since I can't lie on my stomach, the back of each sunburned appendage is still ghostly pale. I look ridiculous. I am so mad, because I usually only use 15spf and I haven't gotten burned in years. Here I am thinking I'm doing such a good job, being extra careful, and I get burned. I'm going to buy 100spf before the pool next weekend...
When I need to pee, it's not just an urge to pee. Oh no. It's more like my bladder is being crushed. If you've ever had anyone stomp on you, it's like that... only in my bladder.
Also, morning sickness is back. I went 2 weeks without puking. So is SPD.
And dammit, I want a soda. I haven't had a soda in at least 9 weeks. An ice cold Sprite or Cheerwine or even Coke.
One more bitch- yesterday I messaged a guy on Facebook who someone recommended to come clean/wash my carpets, he said he could come today at 3pm. Well 3 pm came and no call, no txt, no show up from this dude. 20 minutes later I message him and ask him if he was coming, he said yes and that my apt was tomorrow at 9am.... Um no, look back on the messages. Anyway, he said he would be on his way but never did he say he was wrong or apologize for his confusion. So I said "if you can't then it's ok, thank you" and all he said was "I'll be there." I don't even know if I want this dude to freakin come anymore, I hate when ppl try to make you feel like something is your mistake when it's not and they don't apologize or acknowledge their mistake!
Am I being a hormonal, nesting, crazy pregnant lady?

I'm just miserable today. Started off by needing to pee, poo, and puke all at once. Then I have been achy, dizzy, and nauseous since then. Woke up about half an hour ago from a 3 hour nap and not feeling any better. Hands started swelling a few days ago, on top of the swollen areas where my ankles used to be. So much for getting anything done today.

No way!! How rude of him! It makes him, and his business look hella shady!
Mine have been bad too until I tried out my birthing ball today. I really didn't think it would help as much as it did but holy relief!!! It is a million times better! The only thing that has helped. I feel like I can walk again.

My chronic back pain has decided to be on constant flare up for what seems like the rest of the pregnancy. Starts mid-back and runs through my hips and thighs. Muscle relaxer and heat won't work - my good meds are a no-no. It's going to be long few weeks.
But as a non-pregnancy rant, today has been quite a day. Spilt whole container of flour baking when thumb gave out (old ligament injury), then my horse pulled out an entire section of fence concrete post and all taking out one bystander and almost me, followed by our bored dog destroying our PS3 controller.
Can I also just complain how annoying giving urine samples is now? I'm not even kidding when I say I peed more on my hand last week then what I got in the damn cup. I washed them for like 2 mins it was so gross. Like I seriously need some sort of funnel I think haha one I can use once and just throw away. I'm dreading giving some in a few days
Was just looking at a pregnancy product article and came across this gem... thought you might appreciate it!
Ok I know it's Wednesday but I have to vent this somewhere: NOTHING FITS!!! I'm squeezing myself into maternity pants that are too tight across the lower tummy/hips, I'm falling out of my tops it seems and I'm almost in tears having a mini meltdown. I can't be the only one, can I? Tell me I'm not alone. I'm beyond feeling 'cute pregnant'. Have a bunch of errands to run and feel like if someone -anyone- mentions anything to me about being pregnancy I may take them out.
Oh - and when my aunt saw my Hdbd pic she said 'I can see some roundness in your face for the first time'. Seriously??!!?? Not like I haven't seen it myself but COME ON!!

Ditto to nothing fitting besides maybe 1 shirt that I had in one color, so I went out and bought 2 more colors. And I either wear no pants at home, or my Target yoga Capri legging things. It's ridiculous.
Joolschweets she has to leave when he does. Period. That is beyond out of control. You don't need that. You and dad come up with an excuse to get her back on the road with him. She's liable to hurt your baby or the added stress of dealing with her on top of adjusting to motherhood could send you spiraling into terrible ppd. Unacceptable.
I think I just naively thought that she'd get a grip when i really needed her. However, I know very well its not as easy as just 'getting a grip', its an illness after all. Ugh, just don't want to deal with it right now. Think I'll def have to have some serious words with my dad over the next few days...
That's the nature of loving an addict. Big hugs to you and budders. I'm so sorry each of you has to deal with that. Especially at this time. Like she said, set boundaries. Your focus has to be on your new baby and nurturing yourself as you heal and adjust.
Joolschweets and budders - I'm sorry you're having to deal with this right now. It's never easy, let alone right now! I agree with PP -- boundaries. You have to set them now and you have to stick to them. It's hard sometimes, and it can hurt, but you are strong and you are your LO mother and protector. We've had to do this as well with several people in our lives and it's hard. Sending you guys good thoughts!
Joolschweets I am with everyone else that she absolutely cannot stay. It might cause hurt feelings but she needs to know that it's not acceptable and very dangerous for you and your LO not to mention her. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this in one of the most happiest times. I will be thinking about you and hoping for a good solution. At least your dad knows and hopefully will agree with you that you can't be dealing with that after just having a baby and getting accustomed to having your little one at home. Again I am so very sorry!!!
Eta and maybe hearing this might show her how serious it is? One can hope.

Joolschweets so sorry you are going through this right now. I agree that your mom should leave when your dad does. Alcohol and addiction is a horrible thing for families to deal with. We recently got my sister into rehab for it and it isn't easy. Creepy internet hugs to you!
Joolschweets I am so sorry you're having to go through this. I agree with PP's that she should not be able to stay when your dad leaves. It is not safe.
Joolschweets I don't have much to add to what PPs have said. I just wanted to express my sympathy. I know exactly how difficult this kind of situation can be. My mom is a severe alcoholic and refuses to acknowledge it or seek help. Unfortunately, there really is nothing that you can do to force it. Just do what's best for you and your LO, even if it means distancing yourself from her.

Joolschweets, I just want to offer my sympathy as well. I think others' suggestions of setting boundaries and not having her there without your dad are spot on. I too have shared a little bit about my own family in the past, but have struggled with addiction in my family with both my dad and brother, so I can understand the torn feelings and difficulties with these kinds of situations. It sucks. I'm sorry you're having to go through this right now, and I hope your DH and dad can support you on this.
