January Jellybeans 2013!...

Anyways. Men are stupid. Rant over.

Exactly. Today I went to the nutritionist and then to the nurse to get consultation on GD. A few minutes before the nutritionist appointment, DH says he is mad that I keep saying "we" need to eat differently now. He said he will not be changing how he eats and that this is what I need to do for my body. He caught me off guard and I felt so unsupported that I started bawling right when I was called to go back. It was horrible. After the appointment we talked about this subject more and now I better understand what he was trying to say. But it came out wrong and I felt horrible.

Maybe if he cooked all his own food he might see thing a little different?

Dh really annoys me. Like seriously he calls me to run errands. he's very OCD and likes to get things crossed of his to do list. I understand that, but half the crap he wants me to do isn't worth risking continued contractions and potentially labor. wish I had a shock collar for him so everytime I felt a pain I could give him a little bit of it.

Get him told!... and get your own back over the next few weeks & when the baby arrives!

Tell him to do it on his lunch break or online. It is infuriating. I make a trip into town every two weeks to get groceries and other bits and pieces I need for the house or the baby.. trying to get all organised, so I usually end up with a list of things I need to do or pick up. Somehow while I'm there today he has me picking him up his new cellphone, looking to find the shoes he likes in black and filling his prescription. My to list while I'm there now is now a mile long.

Men just dont understand errand. Hubby is constantly asking "well what did you even do today" and it's like I dropped an assignment off at uni, stopped at the dentist for the cert I forgot to get, booked my scan, went to my fetal monitoring appt, stopped by the shops to get my eyebrows waxed and picked up bread and milk while I was there. Then I went to the big shopping centre because I have to start organising our daughter's second birthday and I need a lot of different cake supplies.

Oh and did I mention I did it all 7months pregnant with a toddler on the hip?

So fuck you if yoyo get home from work and while your daughter is having a nap your wife is passed out on the lounge.

Hubby has never run errands and he completely doesn't understand the urgency of them and how many there really is. I'm out nearly everyday.

He also insisted on reorganising the lounge room the other day and I kept telling him that squatting and bending and all the work is really too much for me. He didn't listen to me and it took a full 2 days of recovering on my hips and muscles. DICK!

I am now officially on bedrest til this little girl decides to make her appearance. My OB wants to be very cautious given my history...I want baby to stay put for at least another 5 weeks. It's just going to be a bit of struggle financially. At least DH is wonderful and my kids are older so I'll be able to adhere to dr's orders.

Luckily it was simple enough to make in 20 mins.

Not sure if anyone else dressed up at all....

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Oh els sorry to hear but we need that baby to bake a little more!!

 

[BlossomJ]

Els - Glad you're well looked after

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Soooo last night i felt like i was getting full blown contractions...every 5 minutes..everytime i got the sensation i felt i needed to go #2 and nothing came..,this continued for two hrs...finally i had movement ( to say the least) and i was backed up then alllllllll grossness broke loose but after going #2 a few more times the feeling of the contractions stopped and i got some sleep...

So i woke up and just felt exhausted, sick, tightenings and heavy pressure...i got sick, tried to eat, got sick again, then tried to go to the store and got sick again and continued to get the tightenings..

Long story short the obs office wanted me to go in! So i did the non stress test and ultrasound and baby girl was fine but because im dehydrated from the nausea and vomiting i was getting braxton hicks....its been a long day i need some sleep!

 

[Nikkilewis14]

They think i have a tummy bug...

Hope you have a good rest and feel better soon! I'm glad it wasn't anything worse.

 

[sassy_mom]

els - definitely take it easy and I hope you can bake that baby for as long as possible!

Nikki I hope you feel better soon. Try and rest all you can!

Yea men really don't understand at all!!

Took DD trick or treating tonight. We were out for 2 hours and I am SO exhausted!!!

 

[snowangel187]

Oh that drives me crazy when dh comes home and asks "what'd u even do today?" or says "it's not like you're doing anything!". Umm hello do you need to google the meaning of bedrest??!? What do you not understand?

I painted my belly today and dd wanted hers painted too. I'll post pictures tomorrow.

Next time a DH says 'what did u do today?' Say 'I worked on the irises and brain tissue.' They just don't seem to get that sitting around doesn't mean doing nothing, I'm not napping in the days from boredom, I'm actually exhausted from making a person and getting up 10 times a night to pee.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Its so exhausting all these hubbies and oh's need to suck it!

 

[DeedeeBeester]

Hahaha. Hubbies! Mine complains about the peeing at night. He says I wake him up sometimes when I have to go. I wonder if he would rather I peed on the bed, now that would be a rude awakening...hahahaha.

 

[DittyByrd]

I feel like our group is starting to fall apart! Everyone is sick, on bedrest, getting diagnosed with GD.... Must mean we're getting near the end!

My DH is great. He encourages me to take it easy and scolds me when he thinks I am doing too much. I think I am having happy hormone surges because I am super mushy over him now (unlike the first tri...hehehehe).

Hang in there everyone!

Exactly!! Just because it's night/bed time doesn't mean we are able to sleep!! I toss and turn half the night, then pee a gazillion times, then refill my water. Then lay there and thinking of all the things I need to still do. Then just as I doze off the alarm goes off. then I have a grumpy dd and dh to deal with all day.

Being a mommy is hard work for sure!
