# of things Tuesday

[periwinkledaydreams]

Things making me stabby and ragey lately.. all the things @jemomma giffed
Things making me happy and grateful today.. all of @jemommas gifs lol

ETA with the exception of the name on facebook one.. holy hell I WOULD FLIP OUT!!!!!  Sorry!!!

[Bluedaisy]

@jemomma, ooooh did you scream at her for that? I might have threatened to take away grandma privileges or something. But then I hate FB so it makes me pretty ragey to begin with.

[lalamomma]

@jemmomma my brother posted a photo of our baby before we did. He should know better but at least he didn't tag either of us. So I understand the frustration

[megd893]

1. I'm also, still pregnant.

2. Doctor said my son has "fetal macrosomnia". Just say he's the size of a 6 month old okay?

3. He's going to tear my vagina apart.

4. I get to see the boy tomorrow (ultrasound due to #2)

5. Medical fingerblast #3 was yesterday. He was able to "reach him". Was aweosme.

6. If one more person asks me "have you had the baby yet?"

7. At this rate the boy is going to be a Cancer and not a Gemini.

8. I've been a terrible poster lately. Love tits abound.


thats all I have today...

[silv3rlining]

@jemomma my FIL posted the name on FB and announced I was at the hospital to be induced....cue rage while I was waiting for the OB to come induce me. And then FIL, and 2 BILs posted she had arrived before I had time to even contact my family/friends...cue more rage. But I decided instead of letting it steal my joy I was going to snuggle my new bundle. But still rage worthy!

[ravinraven216]

megd893, Cancers are awesome! Both DH and I are Cancers, so a Gemini baby was a nice change of pace for us.

[PurpleIris]

@jemomma, I would probably spitefully change the name, but I'm a bitch like that.

The rages:

1. I have severe reservations about the person taking over for me while I'm on leave but if my manager doesn't care then IDGAF (except that I do because I care about my patients).

2. My husband thinks that prefacing it with "not trying to annoy you, but..." before he asks AGAIN there's any sings of labor is going to making me not bite his head off. Bless his heart.

3. The barrage of texts has started asking how I'm feeling (read: have you gone into labor yet?).

The happy:

4. My house is clean and everything is set up, baby can come anytime now!

5. My 5 year old has the silliest sense of humor lately. I even laugh at the poop jokes, of which there are many.

6. Last day of work was yesterday!

[wegrowsheep]

All the ragey things? Yes, I think I will.

1. Mastitis.
2. My older 2 children had colds this last week.
3. Now I'm hacking like a smoker.
4. DS#1 appears to have ringworm. We don't even have pets at home.
5. Didn't get to drink my tea while it was hot.
6. Poured cold tea down my cleavage instead.
7. Need a shower.
8. Taking LO to be circumcised, even though I did this for DS#1, and it was supposed to be DH's job.
9. DS#1 is driving me batty. He seems quite happy getting negative attention.
10. Mastitis. It deserves mentioning twice, because my head still fucking hurts.

[silv3rlining]

@kej0004 maybe she just wants to help clean? Not because it's dirty but if there's certain things you can't/don't want to do? Before DS my mom came and did some serious cleaning (scrubbed bathrooms, cleaned out fridge, ceiling fans, etc)

PurpleIris DH kept asking me if I was ok while I was in labor...I had to tell him not to asking every time I made a noise/had a contractions. I was like yeah I'm good just having a baby

[silv3rlining]

silv3rlining She's definitely just trying to be nice and helpful, but... I just don't want to have to clean! Maybe she'll just let me lay on the couch and direct her while she cleans.

That's what my mom let's me do

[Bluedaisy]

My ten things:
Ragey:
1. People who keep telling me I need to nap and rest then asking if I've finished stuff
2. My mother in law....she hasn't done anything lately but every time she opens her mouth I want to kill her.
3. My sister...about the same as above but add in completely self absorbed
4. My hairdresser is booked until July 2 (first world problems I know)
5. I want to get tons of stuff done but feel like a whale and can't.

Happy:
1. On medical leave until baby arrives
2. My garden looks incredible
3. The nursery is looking great
4. I've spent a pathetic amount of time reading and colouring (yes colouring with crayons and a colouring book) since I've been off work
5. David's Peach Iced Tea plus Simply Lemonade...but drink invention EVER

[Bluedaisy]

@jemomma, Last weekend there was a family gathering and my sister was making snotty comments about how I don't post stuff on FB (she posts everything, all the time) and I almost strangled her.

[kemdupuis]

The ragey/stabby:
1. Insane heat/humidity. It's too hot to go lay out at the dang pool!

2. Constant nausea/cramping/constipation/pressure

3. My ILs for making me feel like I have to deliver late in order to get the privacy we have requested 5733688543 times.

4. People drinking delicious beer/wine/alcoholic beverages around me. I want them allllll

5. The constant barrage of texts/emails/FB messages phone calls about how I'm feeling- aka "when is the baby coming?!"

6. My whole fam is going to the Dominican for our annual vacation this week. DH and I aren't going, obv.

7. Wanting to get shit done both at home and at school. No energy to do so. Also, DH says he doesn't really want me out and about. Annoying.

8. Wanting to pee like a normal person, dammit!

9. Not knowing when our LO will make his appearance. The suspense is killing me.

10. DH has a job and has to leave every day. I want quality time with my hubby.

[jessila]

I'll play along with the ragey/happy theme.

Rage-y:
1. My dog keeps crying about nothing.
2. I actually had contractions that woke me up last night.
3. Currently reading GOT book 5 and stupid people on FB are ruining it by talking about the show. Keep your spoilers to yourself UGH!
4. So. Much. Swelling.
5. Pretty sure my pelvis is going to split apart.

Happy:
6. Had a massage today.
7. Just found out I'll be at TWO schools next years instead of FOUR!!!!!!!
8. AND we're listing our townhouse (that I've mentioned in multiple rants recently) for enough money to almost break even!!!!!!!
9. I had a really good cookie today post massage.
10. TWO SCHOOLS!!! ONLY TWO SCHOOLS!!

[ladymouse]

1. 108 degrees actual, NOT heat index. Previous record was 102 over 30 years ago.

2. Prodromal labor.

3. AC unable to keep up with heat.

4. DS lost his favorite toy.

5. We keep tearing the house apart to find said toy car.

6. Cats shedding. It's everywhere. EVERYWHERE.

7. I AM really grateful for AC.

8. Also iced raspberry leaf tea.

9. DH keeps asking if I'm hungry yet. I don't know why, since we're having leftovers.

10. I just want to eat an endless supply of mint chocolate ice cream bars.

[maddib]

Thankful it is not too hot today.

Thankful hubby let me go to the grocery store.

Thankful I was able to start taking my prescription zoloft again and am feeling so much better.

Ragey that I forgot diarrhea is a side effect of zoloft and I forgot not to trust a "fart" at the Hyvee parking lot!! Fuck!!! Had to come home and let it all out and change my underwear and pants.

Thankful that I can now poop..

There was more but right now I am still pissed I have to go back out and remember to not trust any more farts!!!

[theBeeMama]

1. You guys are incredible and your gifs have made my day.

2. I needed my day made after a stomach virus which triggered 12 hours of painful false labor yesterday.

3. I'm now sore and grouchy because I thought at least I'd get to have this baby yesterday/today to make up for all the awfulness, but NOOOOOO.

4. Having such intense contractions for so many hours yesterday kinda made me flip my poo and want to rethink my unmedicated birth.

5. On the bright side, it's probably best I didn't actually deliver this baby on basically no sleep and absolutely no food and very little water.

6. Oops, I lied. I did eat one goldfish yesterday.

7. Yeah, one. One goldfish.

8. Another plus side, my house is now clean from H "mesting" (a term he coined for when men get nesting urges) while I was contracting last night.

9. He was sooooo excited thinking we were going to have a baby, even though I kept telling him it could be a false alarm. It was adorable but then I was really sad when it wasn't the real thing.

10. What wasn't cute was that he got his whole family in the mix too (I didn't want to tell anyone until we were checked into the hospital, which never even happened) and now everyone is "jokingly" telling me how I let them all down.

Bonus # 11. Talk about wanting to cut some mofos.

[dogmama22]

This thread theme couldn't have come at a better time! I'm all sorts of ragey/ hormonal today
1. My family is getting all jealous about who gets to come "help" me with LO every day. I had a CS and live in a two story, so I do need help, I just don't need drama.
2. DH isn't liking the "help." He wants to be independent and my mom bothers him.
3. There's a squirrel outside that decided to harass my dogs all morning. Endless barking...
Ok I had a little cry and a nap and now I feel better, so here are 3 glittery unicorns too:
1. Z is one week old today and has passed his birth weight. Now he's allowed to have one 5 hour stretch of sleep each day. Yay sleep!
2. After I gave Z a bath today the dog covered him with kisses. I love how well they're doing together.
3. I have craft projects to work on tomorrow and I'm going to do a Father's Day photo shoot.

[Bluedaisy]

dogmama22, I'm so impressed that after a C-section you have the motivation to do craft projects already!

Thanks! I have way more energy and motivation now that I'm not pregnant. I have to find ways to use it without hurting myself.

[musicfrk2002]

Ragey:
1. Neither H or I was the first to announce our son on FB. I get that I was kind of knocked out and couldn't, but think my mom and MIL could've let him have that honor.
2. My foot is asleep
3. I just had to call the nurse here again because they have to monitor my fluid output and I have been peeing like a racehorse
4. Why am I awake right now?
5. This stupid heart monitor/external defib that I have to wear keeps acting up saying sensors are off. It has woken me up 4 times tonight.

Happy:
1. Finally going home Thursday! Been in the hospital since saturday the 6th
2. Baby was released today, but he and H were allowed to stay in my room. I just can't be alone with the baby here yet, just in case.
3. My aunt brought me a coke and cookies from McDonalds today. Best thing ever.
4. H has taken the brunt of the poopy diapers. Althogh based on the sounds I am hearing, it looks like I will get to change one now
5. Did I mention I get to leave the hospital today???

[jessila]

musicfrk2002 Yay for getting to go home!!!!!!!
