Re: Win and Whine Wednesday

  • Whine-DD didn't sleep well last night. She wouldn't fall asleep and then she woke up crying at midnight. She woke up again but I didn't go in and she went back to sleep.

    Win-We have had no fussyness or fever from her shots! Maybe some sleep issues but she hasn't been miserable during the day.

    Whine-DH got a new job and they have him doing something else for now (because he knows how) but the hours are different and he isn't getting home until after our usual dinner time.

    Win-I shouldn't complain because at least he is working. It could be worse.

  • Whine: I got my meds from my doctor and have been taking them so I'm perfectly fine to be at work, but I don't want to be.

    Whine: This weekend is SIL baby shower. Her and MIL want me to announce my pregnancy there. I keep telling them no. I'm afraid they'll do it for me. I don't know if I'll ever forgive them if they do.

    Whine: Between PR and fighting an infection, I have 0 energy. I'm getting short with everyone today. 

    Whine: Manager doesn't feel good and is at home currently taking a nap to feel better and is being paid for it. 

    Win: H is off today and working on some stuff around the house for me. 

    Win: Boss got more candy today, I needed a chocolate pick me up.

  • Whine: My acupuncturist still wanted me to keep taking my temp for a while during the early part of the pregnancy.  I freaked out every time it dropped.  It was still above 98 this morning, but a lot lower than it has been and it freaked me out.  Then it made me worry about low progesterone or something.  Ack!

    Win:  Because of said freak out, I do not have to temp anymore! 

    Whine:  I have been eating so much bad food lately

  • Whine: I need to do a deep cleaning today, and put away all the laundry :( not fun!!

    Whine: Grocery shopping after cleaning, also not fun!

    Win: We might sell one of our business trucks tomorrow. If we do, I'm going shopping and no one can tell me nothin'!!! Lol.
  • Whine: little Ella didn't sleep well, she just wouldn't calm down. 10, 2, 3 am... I ended up on the sofa with her and she was still fussy. I hope it doesn't happen again tonight.

  • Whine: My boobs have been super tender the last 3 days. First tri tender. Ouch.

    Win: Baby must have heard my mini meltdown yesterday over his lack of movement. He's been a wild child today and I love every poke and wiggle.

    Whine: I still have 3 weeks left of work (unless he comes sooner).

    Win: Only 3 weeks left of work unless he comes sooner! Lol 3 weeks isn't so bad I guess.

  • Win: I feel little kicks now! <3

    Whine: I seriously have not cooked one meal since getting pregnant. DH cooks whatever sounds good for me or gets takeout. I feel horribly guilty about this. 

    Win: I had a wonderful sleep last night. 

    Whine: Anxiety came back full force yesterday! Crap!
    Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline! Cheering for all the strong 3T ladies!

  • Whine: Men can be such babies!  Our painter decided to come two days sooner than expected so DH and I spent from 8:30-11 last night clearing out the majority of the bedroom.  He was a major brat about it.

    Whine: After WEEKS of me BEGGING him to go rug shopping with me, he finally realized last night that we don't have a new rug for the bedroom, and that the new, heavy, not on wheels bedroom furniture is arriving Saturday, and it will be impossible to get a new rug in there once the furniture is in.  I literally have 2.5 days to find a pale blue, 8x11 rug.  Are you kidding me, DH?  And quit complaining!

    Whine: More of a guilt.  I can't bear to eat any dinner that DH has cooked recently.  Any meat he has made, I have taken one bite and then get stomach sick.

    Win: I found antibiotics I can take for my sinus infection and I am starting to feel so much better!

    Win: My classes are finally getting to the point that I want them to be at in terms of both performance and behavior.

    Whine: I feel fat, rather than bumpy.  So no HDBD for me today.

    BabyFetus Ticker
  • Whine: Nothing at my house sounds good to eat. Of course, it's all healthy. I want junk food!

    Win: My mom sent me a package with fall decorations and vanilla scented oil. Our appt. looks so cute and festive now- and smells great!

     

     

    Waiting on my baby girl <3 EDD 2/5/14 

  • Whine - there is a blister on my toe (underneath, where it connects to the bottom of my foot). It hurts soooooooo bad.

    Win - the guy who brought breakfast today made pancakes with fresh cut strawberries instead bringing bagels. I was excited!

    Whine - there is HUGE drama surrounding my showers. My mom called my dad (without telling me or planning to tell) to tell him he HAS to pay for half of my shower when she's the one who offered to throw it. So they are fighting. My MIL has been a total royal B!TCH lately for no reason as well. She's throwing a hissy fit to DH pretty much every night about something about my shower that doesn't matter. At this point, I don't even want a shower. I want to just be happy with my DH and await the arrival of our "little dude."

    Win - we are making tacos for dinner tonight! (Why do my "Wins" revolve around food?)

    Whine - DH is going to want to beat a dead horse and continue to talk about this shower stuff - and I just don't care.

    Win - The phones aren't working again at work so I don't have to talk to anybody lol

  • Whine:  I'm beyond exhausted and just want to sleeeeeeeep.  Where was all of this fatigue in 1st tri?!

    Win:  TMI WARNING - - since I've started to feel better, I haven't needed to take the Zofran.  Because of this, I've had a BM EVERY DAY for the last few days.  This.Is.Amazing.  I'm starting to get back to where I was before the Zofran!!  Yay!

    Whine:  DH said he's going to make me get up and go for a walk after work today because it'll be good for me, good for the bean, and will help me sleep better at night.

    Win:  DH is awesome and I love that he's going to make me get off my butt after work.

  • Win--I had my glucose test today, and I didn't think the drink was bad at all.

    Whine--Swimming is one of the only exercises I can do and it's supposed to help with swelling. My old swimsuit was giving out so I bought a maternity tankini top to wear with a non-maternity bottom I already have. I wore it yesterday and the water just kept pushing the top up, exposing more of my belly than I am comfortable with. Now I can't find any high-waisted bottoms in my size, so I don't know what I'm going to do.

    Whine--I paid our credit card bill late so we were charged a late fee and interest. Those assholes at Chase emailed me a payment reminder 2 days after it was due.

    Win--18 more hours of work and I will be off for 6 days.

    Win/Whine combo--I love feeling the babies move, but I don't know who I'm feeling when. I know where they usually detect their heartbeats but that doesn't tell me who is moving when the movement is in between. Today I've been worried that I'm only feeling one.
