Randoms and TPs

[mcktymck]

Because at this stage in the game I'm guessing all of us want to TP people on a daily basis. Or maybe that's just me.

And also randoms.

[TnT10]

I have at least one person I want to TP each day. Today, it was the coworker I normally like and she's not even at work today. She text me to check prices on an Otterbox on Amazon for her. Um, wut? Fucking look it up yourself... she only has one of the three kids with her and it takes two seconds on the app. It just really annoyed me for some reason, but I still tried to look it up for her. Why do we do things like that?! Duhhhh.

I'm ready to go into the woods and live as a recluse with H for the rest of the pregnancy. Last night I put a side by side comparison pic of me together from 3 months pregnant to 3 months until due, and my mom asked to see it. Everyone else was all "that's amazing, look at your belly, etc" and she blurts out "yeah, and your face is fatter now too!" She backtracked as soon as she saw all of us staring at her all WTF and then apologized later on, but I think it's because her BF must've said something to her about it. So then we all go to my grandparents for our weekly dinner and the first thing my grandma says to me? "You're looking like you've gained some weight!" Seriously, I don't understand how filters go out the window when it comes to pregnant women. I would NEVER go up to someone and say "wow, you're looking huge today!" or ask how much weight they've gained. I'm just done with people.

TP to my SMIL(step). I don't know what she expects for me to say after my appointments. Nothing happens at them.

She doesn't need to know about my constipation, heart burn killing me, and my crotch hurting. Also I have no reason to tell her my bump is measuring ahead. I'm plus size and so it's not surprising. She knows I have another GTT coming up, unless she forgot again.

So when I text her that everything is great she should be happy her grandson is doing fine. I shouldn't just get oh...thanks as a text.....

Sent her my next appointment dates and get thanks.

ugh I'm sure when we see her for her Birthday we will get a lecture how we need to tell them more stuff or contact them more. Only reason why I called my mother after this appointment was because she was worried that I was swelling. Otherwise she hears everything from facebook or she figures no news is good news.

Sorry for the long rant. I just did not realize all the politics that come with having a baby.

[mcktymck]

cavewmn rant away! That would drive me nuts too. Obviously if something is wrong you will tell them but like you said, most times those checkups are nothing and we're in and out in minutes so there's nothing to share.

[TnT10]

mcktymck, I'm sorry your mom is still being an ass with the comments. I'd probably get to a point where I'd just call her out and ask her how she would feel about you making comments on her weight all of the time. That stuff pisses me off so bad!

cavewmn, it is strange how much people want to know when you are pregnant. DNW to share everything with you, k thanks. Sorry she is responding like that, maybe just reiterate that the appointments aren't really exciting at this point when you do see her.

That is such a great idea haha, I spend a ridiculous amount of time browsing and favoriting items! If I had all the money in the world it would all be spent on Etsy.

DH is sick (throwing up).. which is really unlike him and it sucks because he just started a new job this week and needs to drive out 3 hrs to the project site and do a wildlife survey in the heat. I hope he doesn't pass out!

On another note we saw a flying squirrel eating from our bird feeder last night! I was soooooo excited!

[housecarder]

tikoberry99 I'm sorry your H is sick. Hopefully he can stay hydrated

[tikoberry99]

mcktymck you are pregnant you are supposed to gain weight!! You are a better human than I bc I would have flipped my fucking shit weeks ago. (((Hugs)))

[tootsie]

Goddammit mcktymck, F them. I hate the women in your family. You look absolutely beautiful! They need to quit flappin' their traps.

[tootsie]

My H had a job interview this morning for an amazing opportunity. He would be sooooo much happier in this position, I am crossing everything I've got that he gets this job!

[housecarder]

If you want to test the limits of your sanity introduce your kids to the show Plim Plim on Netflix. DS is watching it on repeat.

[cavewmn]

mcktymck, For Mother's Day buy Duct tape for your mother and grandmother. The only picture I posted of me pregnant on facebook my mother said she was so glad that I didn't have a double chin.....luckily this was at least over the phone but still.

tootsie, FX your husband gets the job!

[cabbagecabbage]

mcktymck, damn that's harsh. They deserve those TPs. A few extras maybe.

cavewmn all I can say is being a confident and firm boundary setting daughter-in-law has been the best thing I've ever done. I love my family but I love *my* new nuclear family more. When my MIL has made comments about what I need to do or owe her, I shut it down so fast without apology and tell her what I'm doing. I hope you can find a good balance because having the babies tends to make it worse.

Omg! Ds had hardwood in his room now! It is a freaking miracle! We have been trying to set up an installation date for a month!!!!

Went to my BPP this morning and S is looking really good, he flipped last night and is now breach which is no big deal but it was very uncomfortable when he did it. Placenta is stable so the MFM said that he doesn't think I really need to come in 2x a week. I asked him to have that conversation with my OB because they have all of my appts scheduled out until July. MFM also said that he thinks its way to early to plan on inducing me at 37 weeks, which is what my OB planned. So, the good news is that S and I are doing really good. However, I am kind of getting annoyed that the plan keeps changing every time I see a different Dr. The MFM said he would call my OB and discuss the plan with her but cancelled my appts with them for the next week and he wants to see me back on 5/5.

Seriously though, can I just get a more concrete plan on how often I am going to come in? Why cant we all just be on the same page?

[mcktymck]

tootsie fingers crossed for your H!

lostinfaith225 glad you were finally able to get the flooring installed!

[cavewmn]

sarcaztic10, I hope your doctors can get their act together. Glad to hear everything is going so well!

[TnT10]

sarcaztic10, I'm sure that has to be so frustrating to you. They need to all agree upon a plan because that's just ridiculous. I'm glad things look good though, that is good news. My doctor said baby is breech at my appointment last week, I'm thinking that he/she will flip soon. DD flipped around 32 weeks I believe but I remember the exact moment it happened because I had a lot of pressure (like I had to stand up from my desk). It was crazy!

[cavewmn]

cabbagecabbage, We're really hoping to set boundaries once Pumpkin comes. It will be a shock to them since she practically lived at her parents house after she had her kid.

[mcktymck]

sarcaztic10 what a pain, both doctors really need to work together to be on the same page instead of telling you two different things! Glad to hear S is doing well though, hopefully your OB agrees with the idea of not inducing at 37 weeks.

[mcktymck]

TnT10 it amazes me that you can actually feel when they flip! It makes sense though since they're starting to run out of room, still seems so crazy to me though.

[TheTuna15]

sarcaztic10, I'm love titting because that's really good to hear. But I can't believe they can't all get on the same page. That's super annoying.

I need a non parenting opinion. I'll be getting inventory in, in 2 weeks. As such, I'm starting to do some giveaways on my FB group. If you were to take part in a giveaway would you rather a) win a monetary amount that you can use toward any item but not have it be 100% covered b) receive an item totally for free but not be able to choose other than size c) special snowflake. Thanks. I figure I can get a good idea of what people are generally looking for by polling my two BMBs haha.

This LO was breech, but seems to have flipped. I am amazed I didn't really notice, but I think it might have been one of the nights I was sleeping really poorly. Now I have little heels trying to kick their way out of my stomach and a head jamming into my cervix every few minutes.

B. But I'm not sure what you're selling, so it could change things. I hate when I "win" a portion of something. It feels like a trap.
