feel free to whine here

[PiePie]

My tolerance for frustration is very low. I am super stressed out about work and yet avoiding it, which is only raising my guilt levels. I am suffering from a cold : : , and my sleep does not feel restorative. I can't find my housekeys! the apt. is still not ready for baby. and the a/c is not doing its job. my feet are big, and my shoulders are tense. did i mention that i can't find my support hose? there is neither chocolate nor ice cream in the house, short of my baking something, which feels like too much.

I think my biggest issue is my lack of brain cells. I am doing the stupidest things. : Physically I am not in a huge amount of discomfort, at least not compared to my other pregnancies, so I can't complain about that too much.

[mamamoo]

My biggest whine is how tired I am. This cold is kicking my arse! I took *2* naps yesterday,a dn another one today, and I still go to bed and get almost 8 hours. I am barely even waking in time to pee these days, good thing I have those big mama pads!! LOL

Oh, and my kids are fighting more! At least they are cooperating enough for me to nap I guess.

[Alohamelly]

I'm frustrated with the constant comments on whether I've had the baby yet or not, and then whether I think he's coming soon (how the heck would I know?). I mean, it's constant. I can't take it anymore! It just makes me more frustrated.

I'm also having a hard time sleeping, my back aches, my waddle is turning into a slow crawl when I walk, I'm having contractions but nothing regular and it's frustrating, I'm always so hot, I'm past my EDD now ... I just want to be done. But I keep telling myself that I won't be pregnant forever and he has to come sometime.

I never thought I'd say this since I couldn't wait to have this big, beautiful shape - but I'm tired of hearing it now. And when I come into work I feel like people are disappointed to see me. Everyone has words of wisdom on how to "get it out". My Due date is tomorrow, not last month.... And Quit saying Goodbye like I'm disappearing!

I'm also more weepy and emotional... in addition to having no patience what so ever.

[Twinklefae]

Ditto on weepy and emotional (have been the whole way through!) I am being overtaken by aliens who are turning me into Martha Stewart with a perfectly clean house (this is so not me!) and DF is freaking about the whole thing everytime I so much as move to fast. My house is also not ready for baby.... and I still don't have a diaper pail.

*stomps feet and screams real loud!* I feel better now.

[Autoemesiss]

I am so tired of going places and people saying stuff like, "Don't you do that here!" or when I go to the bathroom in a resturant, "Our bathrooms are not delivery rooms...":

I am not due until next week!

My contractions suck, I have another *&#$@(&$ UTI....that's FOUR! and almost all of them have been beta strep. Grrr.

I am also really annoyed at the fact that I can't move. My hips keep moving out of socket and waddeling isn't a possiblity. I am practically swaying from side to side, which doesn't help my PSS at all! Argh, how can a baby be so low and not want to come out?!

[Twinklefae]

ITCHY ITCHY ITCHY!!!!!! (Dr. Tomorrow going insane in the meantime!)

I burned a nice half dollar size blistery circle on my belly yesterday when water from the pasta I was draining splashed. It hurt like crazy, but feels better today thank goodness.
My kitchen has also become invaded by fruit flies and it is driving me crazy. Fruit flies do not give me peaceful home birthing vibes.

Wow, you get comments like that!? I think I would be liable to go : on anyone who said that to me!

[PiePie]

I get those comments from colleagues and court personnel... : It does make me feel this huge divide between pregnant and never-pregnant women -- they actually think I am going to have my first baby in seconds flat before they can run out of the way.

[Twinklefae]

My friend had an aquasize instructor do this to her all through a class once. The instructor kept saying "No baby today? Next week right?" It was really embarrassing!

[mom22girls]

PiePie - did you find your house keys? I still can't find my patience! I was grouchy mama from hell last night when I took my girls to their first ever circus. The tent was a million degrees, and we were all covered in 'skito bites when we got home. They're now the crankiest two girls ever, and it's hot here.

My ankles are swollen (never happened before). My c/s date was moved up to the 15th, which both pleases me and scares the UA violation out of me. I can't imagine going on like this for much longer though. They don't have screens in Sweden, so if you open your window, you could be woken by mosquitos, so sleeping (what I do of it) is no fun. We always forget about this though - otherwise there would be no siblings!!!

[PiePie]

still no housekeys. at work -- my 2nd to last day! very late today because the subway i was on hit a person! made me realize i could be far less fortunate, despite my kvetching.

dh is kvetching that the baby can't be late (or, rather, can't be not early) because of his work schedule conflicting with the babymoon!! i need him to help me be patient, to communicate faith in my body, etc., and here he is caught up in his own stuff!! : : he is so stressed about life after birth he has stopped sleeping!!

[cornpicker]

I'm tired and grouchy, too. Sigh.

Hugs all around!

Me too! Except mine was with a super hot cast iron..have a nasty blister, hoping it won't leave a nasty scar to boot.

I'm a grouchy mama too and I feel bad but have almost no emotional energy to try and fix it much. My 5 y.o. dd is driving me INSANE. On the one hand I LOVE her confidence... on the other I want to go crazy when she insists on arguing with me about things like whether or not the crumbs on the floor are playdough or cupcake. She's always very certain she's right even when she's NOT!!! :

Plus, dh is very grouchy because he is constantly in one stage or another of passing kidney stones these days. Yet... he won't call his urologist and request to be put back on the preventitive medication. Can't seem to fit it in his *busy* day. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I'm starting to get frustrated with the same thing - Mama I CAN do this, Yes I know you CAN, but it's not a good idea RIGHT NOW. But Mama do you trust me, trust me! (the last line is from Aladdin, I'm pretty sure...argh!)

That's what I get by putting the girls in front of a video so I can sleep for 10 minutes...
