Ha. Me too.
And why the eff and I STILL spotting? Obviously getting pregnant was stressful for me but I never imagined that being pregnant would be this stressful. That certainly wan't the case when I was pregnant with Macy.
All I gotta say is this baby better stick. But I have a dreaded feeling when I go in for my ultrasound next Friday there isn't going to be anything there : Lord, let this next week fly by. I am ready to find out for sure if there is a baby in my ute.
Heather - have you had an US yet?
Baby Macy is here!
12/09 - Macy (daughter) | 4/10 - Began TTC Baby #2 | 12/10 - Chemical Pregnancy | 1/12 - Miscarriage at 14 weeks | DX - PCOS & Hyperthyroidism
My biggest WTF is down below. My other two WTFs are:
1) WTF is up with ACT sending out the e-mail that our FSOT test results were available and then promptly shutting their system down for 12 hours for routine maintenance? I finally was able to get my results but they really should have just waited to send the e-mail. Stupid ACT.
2) WTF is up with USERA rescheduling the adult Halloween party for tomorrow night? I am not excited about going to work all day, going to a party that lasts from 8-midnight, and then going to work the next day. They won't give refunds and I don't want to be out the $100 we paid to go, but the party is going to be super lame and we'll probably have to leave early.
1. It rains here too often to have such horrible rainy weather traffic. It makes me stabby.
2. I was hoping the Cards wouldn't win so that I wouldn't have to deal w/last minute travel arrangements for my boss. He still isn't sure if he wants to go to Game 7. C'mon, buddy. I gotta book rooms, flights, etc. Get on the ball already.
3. I would punch COP's H in the face.
I can't wait to find the money to do our master bath! That is definately our next home reno. But we had to do the guest bath first because like you, we had a leak. It went from the shower, under the wall into the next room. H did the demo and we called someone for a quote on recommendation of a plumber we know. His quote was fantastic (I believe we paid $750 for labor and 2 guys spent 4 days on it, they barely made any money!) and our new bathroom is amazing! If you want I'll send you their #. HIGHLY recommended! They will definately be the ones we get to do our master!

WTF is up with the nest eating my long, well thought out WTF?
Basically I'm tired of feeling like I have to justify that I "need the money" when my bosses at work try and make me feel guilty about "coming right back" to work after the baby is born. My goodness people, I'm taking off 2 weeks paid and 14 weeks unpaid. It's not like I don't want to spend time with the baby, I might actually need to come back to work. I do live in the money pit after all. Ugh. And I shouldn't have to explain that to everybody and their mother. Sad that the biggest source of stress I feel right now is my job stability, where I've worked my ass off for the last 9 years.
Thank you! I am over the moon in love with it!
I was meaning to page you last night, how are you feeling pregnant wise? Any symptoms yet, besides hating the crappy weather? Thinking of you
WTF was I thinking when I sent an email to my boss that was supposed to go to my BFF. lol oops.
I called him right away and told him "I just sent you an email that was supposed to go to my friend.. can you delete it." .. he busted out laughing and said he would w/o reading it. There was nothing in it - mostly just our plans for the wknd but what an idiot.
Sara - I LOVE your shower.
Jen - Um, cold weather really sucks. I can't believe it's going to snow.
Sting - Ooops!! I guess it could have been worse. You could have not realized it, or included some information like bashing him or your job.
My WTF is H related. He came home from Texas last night. Kennedy was congested, but sleeping. He woke her up at 3am. So after suctioning out her nose and giving her some water, she was still wide awake. He decided he "was a little stuffy" and didn't want to make her sleep, so he went to sleep in the other room, and I was awake with a cranky baby until 5. I wanted to smack him. Then he admitted he just wanted to sleep. Did he forget I had a miscarriage last week, got sick, was on my own taking care of Kennedy, and was up all night with her when she was sick? If anyone deserves sleep it should be me!
I go for my first u/s on Monday afternoon. I'm nervous. I felt so crappy when I was going through the IVF process; now I'm off most medications I feel "normal" and it feels like something is wrong, because I don't feel crappy ... if that makes any sense. I know I'm weird ...

I also NEEDED to have a pepperoni pizza last night for supper. This isn't totally uncommon for me either though.
So I guess I do have some, they're just mild.
WTF is up with this crappy rainy weather (jumping on that bandwagon)?? It puts me in such a bitchy mood and really makes it hard being at work all day.
And WTF is up with The Knot/Nest/Bump/Whatever not allowing me to update my siggy??? I haven't been able to change it for like three years now because of this stupid error message I keep getting, ugh!

Jennifer - OMG, I would kill your H. You have had so much going on, that was so selfish of him (make sure you tell him that)
WTF is up with me not sleeping lately? I am stressing over everything and have been having serious anxiety problems for the past week. I toss and turn all night. It doesn't help that our vacation to TN for Thanksgiving has been cancelled. BOO. Between travel costs, boarding our zoo, and the time that it would take to actually get there and back... it just wasn't worth it.

Why does Nicole want me to go to jail? ;-)
My WTF is about myself. I wish I could just make a freaking decision. Should
I change jobs now or wait till next year? Should I put Zoe in daycare and go to day shift or stay on night shift and keep her at home after her first birthday? Should I get an 8 hour, 5 day a week shift or stick with three 12 hour days when I do eventually put her in daycare. I change my mind hourly and I'm getting on my own nerves!
IMO, the earlier you put her in school the better. The older she gets, she's going to hit that stranger-danger stage and transitioning then will be difficult. Obvs., do what's right for you. Just think about her stages when you do it.
We'd better save the plans for beating my husband until I come back to the states. They're very concerned about spousal abuse here you know. There's an article in the newspaper at least weekly about how the number of wives beating on their husbands is on the rise. They're apparently much more alarmed about this than the rate at which husbands beat on their wives. If only women would just do what they were told, their husbands wouldn't have to beat them. And then those shameless women turn around and vet their inadequacies by beating on their poor defenseless hubbies! ;-)
I'm being hyperbolic, of course. The majority of Saudis I have met seem to have very stable marriages where no one is beating anyone else. You know how a few bad apples make the bunch look spoiled- or something like that.
That made me lol.
Oh wow, that looks amazing!
