Re: Win and Whine Wednesdays

  • Whine: I have a cold, and I have no clue what I can take for it.  So I've just been taking Tylenol.

    Win: Because of said cold, H has been making dinner every night and taking care of household things so I can get some rest.

  • Win-Sleeping in two days in a row...I'll take it! Definitely a plus of fall and winter is the longer nights.

    Whine-woke up with a headache. Eating didn't help so maybe a Pepsi will.

    Win-going to see my mom today. She was gone thurs-tues for my nephews first bday. Ava Nichol missed her grandma time on Monday and Sunday.

    Whine-I am working so hard on deep cleaning my house for the Halloween party at the end of the month but I just don't have enough time! Cleaning with a toddler is very frustrating.

  • Whine - I am covered in bug bites and they itch like crazy!

    Whine - The kids at school are really driving me nutty.  They're very needy today, and I am trying to be patient, but blah...

    Whine - I took my lunch out of the fridge and accidentally left it home, and the lunch I bought here at school wasn't great.

    Win - NT scan part two tonight!  I can't wait to see baby again!

    RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
    You made my wedding day complete.

  • Win: Originally I was really stressed about taking 2 extra weeks of maternity leave before baby is born but now that I'm home I am so relieved.

    Whine: I woke up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and stepped in doggie vomit. That sucked to clean up at 4am.

    Win: Part of the reason I am relieved to be on leave is that I was paranoid about going into labor with a dirty house. It really drives me nuts to have a mess at home. Now I can clean daily instead of just days off.

    Whine: Cleaning sucks.

  • Win- Just got email back from HR and I get 12 weeks maternity leave!

    Whine- Still unpaid, I have enough vacation and sick time to cover 6 weeks. I'm wondering if we can afford the other 6 weeks because I'd love to stay home as long as possible. 

    Win- Today is really slow at work, I am barely working honestly. 

    Whine- So tired, my friend kept me on the phone over an hour past my bed time telling me all about the things I should expect with pregnancy and what I should and shouldn't be eating. I mention that the only thing that sounds good is pasta and get a 10 minute lecture on it.

  • @nightmare_of_beauty See if you can spread your 6 weeks of vacation over the 12 weeks. Then you still have some income coming in for the full 12 weeks, but it isn't your full income.

  • Whine: the babies are sleeping like shit. Sleep training is going so-so, we let them cry a little to get to sleep, but in the middle of the night I just can't do it.

    Win: My mom stops by for an hour or two in the morning. Loveeeeee!

  • Whine: LO woke me up at 2:45 with some seriously painful kicks. My hips were so sore last night too for some reason. I didn't fall asleep again until a little after 4am. *yawn*

    Win: I bought DH's birthday gift today!

    Whine: the crazy birthing class lady physically called us out at class last night. Next class is solely about BFing and in front of everyone she was like, "I know you're still making up your minds about BFing, even though it is the healthiest option for baby. Don't feel guilty about it." Her feedback survey is going to be atomic. F you, lady!

    Win: I get paid today!

    Whine: All of DH's friends who told me that they would be here for his 30th birthday party are now bailing for one reason or another. It makes me so sad. I feel like I let DH down.

  • @pennstated912 I am sorry that lady called you out :( I would write something specific about how she shamed you for FF or something. She doesn't know what is healthiest for your baby.

    Also, it isn't your fault DH's friends are flaking out. I'm sorry it isn't working out. What did you get him?

    @venti29 I'm sorry about the sleeping troubles :( I think sleep stuff is the toughest thing about babies. We still rock/hold Ava Nichol until she falls asleep for naps and bedtime. Last night she woke up before we fell asleep so I went to pat her back but it didn't help her fall asleep. She no longer needs me to pat her back to sleep which is good and sad at the same time.

    I know it's not my fault, but it sucks because it's his 30th birthday - and his last birthday before the baby comes, so I wanted it to be awesome :)

    I got him the official Nike dri-fit Penn State "Iron Lion" shirt. All profit from the purchase go to the Penn State chapter for Uplifting Athletes. Uplifting Athletes is a charity that uses donations to dedicate their lives to doing research to find a cure for kidney cancer.

    DH has been talking about getting this since the start of football season. It's $50. He wouldn't buy it because of the price. I feel psyched that I'm finally getting him something for his birthday that I know he's not going to buy for himself (he does that to me every.fucking.year. Lol

    What a bitch. How does she not understand that this is not up for discussion, especially in front of the whole class? And correct me if I'm wrong, but she should realize that BF is not necessarily the healthiest option for your baby since your meds are excreted in breast milk. I'd be so pissed.

  • Whine:
    1. The next person to tell me that I shouldn't have any caffeine is going to get it. I've had 3 people today tell me that my kid is going to be hyper because I have 2 cups.. okay 3 cups on a bad day... of coffee a day. 

    2. I'm really uncomfortable about my bump, I've always been a bigger girl and I feel absolutely HUGE. I cried today when my pants were not longer doable with a hair tie. 

    3. My feet are super swollen, so to comfort myself I came home and made an insanely cheesy grilled cheese. 

    4. I'm super burnt out with work. 

    5. I have breastfeeding class tonight.
    Win
    1. Two more days until the weekend.

    2. I get to see two of our close friends and my sister this weekend.

    3. My mom said she'll paint the nursery if I get the paint! 

    4. I have dinner for tomorrow night started already.

  • @Wiggyslilsis Totally agree about cleaning with a toddler.!

    Win: NT scan was perfect today

    Whine: They want to change my dd based on measurements, but my chart says otherwise. Oh the decisions. Maybe I'm growing a super baby.. lol

    Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

    ~Unknown~

    Lesson learned!!

  • Win: DD had her 1 month visit yesterday and I feel like an awesome mommy. Her doctor said I'm doing a great job :) She weighs 10lbs now and is one healthy baby.

    Whine: I hurt my tooth while eating breakfast this morning.

    Win: I have chocolate and cookies :-D

    Whine: I have a headache :(
  • bridget0117 hope that your cookies make your headache feel better. One can always hope, right?  (FFC; I ate 3 after lunch because we had a luncheon, they were fabulous)

    Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

    ~Unknown~

    Lesson learned!!

  • Whine - DH and I are in the process of starting to build a new home and if MIL offers one more opinion I think I may go off on her. This is our house not hers!

    Win - We got an art project from K today and it was too cute! I love get if little surprises like that when I pick her up!
    Anniversary

  • @ream02, FFC- I've been eating honey Grahams like crazy. Three bags come in one box with like 6 of them. I eat them in like an hour. :|
  • @AshleyMatt1215 I think all of your bump pictures look beautiful! 

    @pennstated912 I couldn't agree with @spin25 I'm on medication that I would rather the baby not get so I will not be BF. It is none of their business! If there's anyone else you can reach out to about this other than the survey, I would.
