Stomach flu still ruining my days and nights! And I'm falling so behind at work because even when I'm there I'm distracted by worry and discomfort. It's stressing me out like crazy which is the last thing I need. Bleh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182338 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:01:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 182338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @Shimmer: @Rubies: @regberadaisy: thanks you guys!!! I agree with mediagirl, we could all use a do over this week. Or fast forward! </p> <p>I found out today that someone at my work is quitting and that really broke the camel's back. I'm for once going to be discreet just in case, but it's someone i work with closely and they're leaving during the time I'll be out on maternity leave so this really complicates things a lot. Ugh. </p> <p>On a brighter note, bedtime was not horrible, which i will blog about tonight!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182317 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 18:53:00 +0000 regberadaisy 182317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ohmygosh major hugs to you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182200 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:42:50 +0000 mediagirl 182200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @MrsFarmer: :( Big hugs, ladies.</p> <p>It sounds like most of us need a REDO for this week! Tomorrow is Friday and then it's the weekend and then onto better weeks next week!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182199 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 17:41:35 +0000 mediagirl 182199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: oh man. You have had a rough go of it this week. I'm so sorry it's been so difficult. I can't imagine. Being pregnant with a toddler and all that stress you're dealing with cannot be good!</p> <p>Also, saw your post on the one about ALittleP. Don't freak out! You're one week ahead of her and you're holding up well. It's always scary when something like that happens and you're close to her due date. Just try your best to stay healthy (which you have been doing a GREAT job of!) and just think it will get better. Hugs!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182131 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 16:21:14 +0000 Shimmer 182131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: *hugs* to you!

CD1 does suck and cramps don't help anything!!:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182089 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:22:45 +0000 MrsFarmer 182089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need a pity party today too! It's CD 1 of Cycle 14 TTC and I've got AWFUL cramps. I'm sitting here hunched at my desk, hoping it goes away. CD1 is always the worst. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182070 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 15:07:26 +0000 Smurfette 182070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I so wish I saw this yesterday.<br /> 1)We lost out on a house to a higher bidder. There isn't anything else we even want to go see, let alone make an offer on<br /> 2) DH is stressed to the max with work and school (getting his MBA online). He makes me want to cry to hear him dealing with everything and there is nothing I can do to help.<br /> 3) I just miss him, he travels during the week and school takes up most of his weekends. We pretty much see each other at night on the weekends.<br /> 4) Then our TV stopped working last night. Ordered a new part, it will be here in a week. So I have to watch TV in the bedroom. I wanted to finally finish Grey's season this weekend. At least we have another TV.<br /> 5) I just know AF is going to show up this weekend :( On the plus side if it does, I do need some wine after this week. </p> <p>I am just tired and ready for this week to be over!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182047 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:43:22 +0000 Jumpingjacks 182047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can I still join the pity party?<br /> I don't know when I've ever felt so cranky! I had to qualm a major urge to kick the crap of out of the printer at work when it stopped working this morning. I was boarder line rude to a maintenance worker in the bathroom when she tore in to clean while I was on the loo and was banging her supplies all over the place so much and so loudly that it literally made me jump every time I heard her bang -- bang -- bang. (She must have been seriously cranky herself to be behaving that way). I'm so tired, I can't concentrate on anything at work. I've never been so unproductive. I just want to be asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-182001 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:44:04 +0000 Rubies 182001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: :( Oh dear! Thinking of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-181988 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:29:34 +0000 oliviaoblivia 181988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: (((HUGS))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-181984 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 13:26:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 181984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Shimmer: you poor thing...!!!! you really do deserve this pity party!!! </p> <p>I'm gonna chime in again. I was gonna start a new thread but I figured I'd just hide it in here....</p> <p>Things have been tough lately. Even though we had a really fun trip this past weekend, coming back has been really rough. Wagon Jr.'s transition to us being back has definitely been difficult-- he's been a lot crankier and whinier than usual, leading to a lot more crying around bedtime. Last night we experimented with a longer, more soothing bedtime routine-- playing with more toys in the bath (usually his bath is a 2 min shower) and reading a book before putting him down. This backfired big time-- he didn't want to get out of the bath, and he wanted us to read the book again and again and again. Then when Wagon Sr. put him down for bed, Wagon Jr. wouldn't let him leave. He had to sit there with him for an hour. </p> <p>THEN at 2:30am he woke up with a scream and almost climbed out of the crib. (He did this the first day we were back and fell out onto the hardwood floor... so now we have soft pillows all around the crib). I went in and sat with him until he fell asleep, which took more than an hour, and when I left he woke up and freaked out for about 25 minutes. I'm talking bashing his whole body against the crib bars, trying to climb out, screaming at the top of his lungs. I didn't go back in because I knew he was just angry, not scared, and I knew I had to let him tire himself out so he could just go to sleep out of exhaustion. Eventually he did. </p> <p>All of this, piled with the fact that this pregnancy has been pretty physically tough on me and work has not been great lately has me feeling pretty low. I cried all night last night and I woke up feeling no better. I took the day off and slept most of the morning (needed it after that horrific night) and I still don't feel any better. I just feel like I have nothing to look forward to. Wagon Sr. tried to help me by saying the end is near, but the end includes a new baby that requires even MORE work and MORE tearful and frustrating nights! Not to mention dealing with Wagon Jr.'s transition to being a big brother, and any complications with having my mom around on a regular basis. And my MIL.</p> <p>Didn't help that something went awry with my phone and I kept texting Wagon Sr. with no response or calls... turns out he was texting and calling and nothing was coming through, and he thought I was upset with him for not being able to stay home with me today and therefore not answering his calls....</p> <p>I'm looking forward to the post-a-thon tonight... Hellobee really does cheer me up a lot!!!... but I'm so terribly low I'll probably just be a big party pooper. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-180450 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 10:44:43 +0000 Shimmer 180450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll join in, if you guys don't mind. But before I do, I hope everyone's day today is better!</p> <p>-I'm tired of being tired.<br /> -I'm only 27.5 weeks and I'm huge. Granted, I'm carrying twins but my 5'2" frame isn't handling this very well.<br /> -I get anxious when I'm short of breath and that's all the time recently. The boys' feet are up under my ribs and it's getting worse.<br /> -Everything hurts and I refuse to take anything for it. My pelvis feels like it's going to tear in half if I shift or move the wrong way. My back also hates me. My ribs are slowly starting to show their dislike for me.<br /> -I can't get comfortable at night and I feel terrible waking DH to help me move in bed but I cry if I can't move into another position without pain.<br /> -The preggo hormones have me by the throat. I've been SO clingy and I hate it! I'm normally so independent!<br /> -I'm bored and overwhelmed being home all the time. I'm out on disability because of my back/pelvic pain, so I can't even escape the house to maintain my sanity. I am exhausted after a 30 minute trip to the grocery store. </p> <p>Thanks for letting me vent. :) Much appreciated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-180332 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:36:44 +0000 GrapeCrush 180332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pity party started on Saturday...I am in my SIL's wedding this Saturday and tried on my bridesmaids dress for the first time since giving birth 5 weeks ago...I had a crazy meltdown because it didn't fit! My damn hips!!! I freaked out because I only have a week to get it to fit. My mom had to take it out...I'm trying it on today to make sure it fits...fingers crossed!!!<br /> The thing that really upset me was that my body did absolutely nothing to go into labor..no dilating, no BH, no water breaking, no baby dropping(or even getting close to going into my pelvis)...the only thing it did was expand my hips! And I didn't even give birth through them. :/ lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all/page/2#post-180331 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 09:36:08 +0000 mamimami 180331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope you guys are having a better day today! I am having periodic toddler mom/pregnancy breakdowns myself. I am sure hormones have a lot to do with that! </p> <p>I can't quite put my finger on it, but as a WOHM, I am also just so sick of my routine. Go to work, come home, play, dinner, bath, bed. </p> <p>Does that ever happen to you guys? I mean, I might mix it up with an afternoon trip to Costco (exciting), but that's not the kind of break in routine that I feel I need. And a vacation seems sort of our of the question right now. BOOOOO HOOOOOOOO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180244 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:38:43 +0000 JoJoGirl 180244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Haha oh gosh, it's not stupid! Everyone's pity is hard for them and justified!!!! :-) Thanks though... I posted most of the story in the June TWW thread this morning. Trying not to worry too much and hopefully will have some answers Friday after a mammogram.</p> <p>@dc yoga bee: Thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180240 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:35:47 +0000 mrs. wagon 180240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: ok, our whining is just stupid compared to what you are going through :( hope you are feeling ok today and keep us updated!! gonna go over to your thread right now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180236 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 08:34:04 +0000 dc yoga bee 180236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: People LOVE Etsy. Sooo much of my wedding stuff was bought from there, and I'm totally going to buy baby stuff and home stuff when we get to those points. I say do it!</p> <p>((hugs to all of you)) Hope today is better for everyone.</p> <p>@JoJoGirl: Sending thoughts and prayers your way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180168 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 06:55:21 +0000 JoJoGirl 180168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WOW I really need a pity party this week, thank you for starting this. Breast lump + cervical stenosis over here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180149 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 05:22:40 +0000 Andrea 180149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hope everyone has a better day....and rest of the week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180068 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:19:57 +0000 mediagirl 180068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whine: last night I had a horrible headache, heartburn and didn't sleep well. Husband swore it would cool off in the house overnight and it never did. It was disgusting in here when I woke up, clammy and humid. Still had the headache. </p> <p>Called out sick from work. Felt a little better around 10am. Putzed around the house and around 6pm, headache and heartburn came back again! No surprise, insomnia came with them. </p> <p>Now my dogs are in the way of my legs and I think I'm going to sleep on the couch. Late pregnancy sucks. At least I won getting the a/c turned on. </p> <p>Thank you for posting the vent thread. Seems like some of us needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180054 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 22:00:47 +0000 cyndistar3 180054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay for pity parties, it has definitely been one of those days for me... I have been stress eating like a retard and have brought my total weight gain up to 32 lbs :/ and I have spent my day crying over the whole breech thing. It doesn't help that I am in a heap of pain, I get really bad cramps basically everytime I move and everytime I get up my whole pelvic region feels like it will snap in half. Thanks for letting me complain, I hope you all feel better soon :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180052 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:58:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 180052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>((hugs)) to everyone.</p> <p>Something I ate made me sick. I'm just hanging out in the bathroom so I don't have to run back and forth. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180036 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:31:27 +0000 singingbee 180036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: Oh, the pantyhose!!!!! I'm in the South and we've had high humidities days already and hit 100. Yuck! It's not even JULY! I don't know what I'd do if I had to put on pantyhose in the summer. </p> <p>Ladies, I was watching the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert and Sir Paul sang "Let it Be". It was perfect. Just what I need at this moment. I'm going to sip some more corona-ritas and let it be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180031 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:20:58 +0000 MsLipGloss 180031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JenniMac. Thanks. :) That sounds like a good mindset to have . . . I have got to schedule more *snow days* for myself. And working through the summer isn't so bad, well, except for the pantyhose. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180023 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:14:49 +0000 singingbee 180023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I'm so sorry you had a bad day at work. I couldn't imagine working through the summer. Now I realize that I'm doing a lot of stuff for my classroom, but somehow it seems fun since I don't technically don't 'have' to do it right now. I completely have the mindset of a teacher--off in the summer, Christmas break, Spring break, and snow days. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180020 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:12:00 +0000 googly-eyes 180020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coco bee I quit my job to focus on grad school right before getting pregnant, and I miss work so much, but at this point (now that classes are out) it's too late. I can totally relate, and I know it makes me sound so lazy but I hate cooking and miss not thinking twice about eating out more often!</p> <p>@regberadaisy Hope you get some peace of mind on all of it soon. Hope you are worrying for nothing. :) But seriously, what a pain about the newborn testing!</p> <p>Everyone else, I hope things get better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180019 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:09:39 +0000 MsLipGloss 180019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just wanted to say that you all deserve a couple rounds of coronaritas and many (((hugs))). You have all made my utterly craptastic work day seem like a walk in the park. And yet here you are, at the end of a long, frustrating, and challenging day, supporting each other. Totally freaking awesome. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pity-partycome-onecome-all#post-180018 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 21:09:26 +0000 singingbee 180018@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>thanks.....I know we need to go and I know we will have fun, but it's just the conversations like those that will just frustrate the heck out of me. I'm going to look very cute (hair colored, nails done, new sundress), so I'm not going to let it upset me. I'll probably steer clear of the baby. Luckily, I already went a few weekends ago to meet her, just me and the momma, so that was ok. I thnk I will be bringing a pitcher of the corona-ritas with us. </p>
