My Thursday Rant

[BuddhaPi]

or maybe they are secretly planning a something...shower....perhaps???

[faeriegodess612]

Thanks guys, I knew youd understand. I perused my cabinets, and grabbed the multigrain tortilla chips and some Kashi TLC crackers, and nibbled on them. ( I try to eat as healthy as possible and am big on all natural foods. ) They worked ok, so I was able to get showered and go to the store. I had to breathe through my mouth the whole time, cause I could smell every damn thing. And if I focused on one smell, I'd get sick. Bought some instant mashed potatoes, and made some when I got home. Since I was able to get something more in my tummy, I gradually started to feel better.

Oh,.. I shouldve put in there too that I had never met S before that dinner. S was a friend of R's, not the both of us. I have no idea what she thinks of me. To me she was fine, if maybe a lil domineering. I'm usually an observer when I first meet someone new. It's just a thing I do. I'll join the conversation when I have something to say, but I like to watch and listen to new people.

At first I was thinking maybe your friend is jealous that you are pregnant, but if she is hanging with the other friend that has a kid that seems unlikely. Maybe you could check around and see if there is like an expectant mothers group or something and make some new friends.

I actually kinda wondered that in the back of my mind too, because R cant have kids. Her Hubby is sterile, and she has endometriosis. Thought about that, but it'd most likely be a army wives thing,....and dont even get me started on them. I might see what they have available though.

Lisa- I am hormonal. I cry at things that didnt make me cry before. Like this whole situation. Normally, I'd just be pissed off. But I cried when I got into my car after the movies.

Yes. But thats in TN. My Mom is in TN, and the rest of my family is only 4.5 hours south in AL. If I were in TN, this wouldnt be so much of a problem. My BFF actually text me earlier today asking how I felt. Then later when she got the socks I sent her. ( She loves socks. Like the special ones. I sent her a pair that are REALLY soft and have aloe in them.)

Marla- I hope I dont get that bad! My OB is in an office of other normal FP's. The doctors office I go to is part of a chain from a Hospital here.

I'm the same way. I make male friends faster then females, because women can be catty backstabbing drama queens. And I'm not a girly girl. I'm so many things, and usually people have to get used to me to truly get me.

Okay you need affirmative action: why not organise a lunch date with said friends at a time and place that will suit each of them (no excuses then) and see how it goes. Could it be that you might just be exaggerating things a bit because you're down in the doldrums?

Exaggerating it? No, not really. Feeling left out and left behind? Yes. I dont think me being down has anything to do with it. I did ask about possibly R, S, K , and I all go to the movies. K just moved back here, so she couldnt after paying all the start up fees for apt, utilities, and cable. R said she forgot to ask S, so it ended up being just me and her. I could try again.

That generally is in later months. When you know what sex to buy for. And about a month or so before the Due Date.

For the morning sickness, try grazing all day long. I don't think I ate a real meal my entire pregnancy, but I was always eating. I found that if my stomach was empty, the nausea set it. Symptoms are so different for everyone, but it's worth a shot.

As for your friends, I feel your pain. It's a crappy situation. Check out meetup.com. Just plug in your zip code and a keyword, and it will give you a list of groups in your area. I joined a group when I was pregnant, and we all still get together with our toddlers a couple times a week. And if you're close to a base, there's probably a military moms group, and they'll definitely understand what you're going through.
Just look on the bright side of things. Your hubs will be home in a week, and then you can send him on all your food craving runs!

Don't expect that to clear up after you have the baby either! I still cry at all sorts of stupid things - sad stories, heartwarming stories, the national anthem etc. God I hate it - I blame it on the kids!

I kind of already do that, because I'm hungry all the time, but I cant eat a whole lot, otherwise I feel sick. Might look into meetup.

I cried at some things before. Like Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Every single show. Especially if I was PMSing. It's kind of annoying.

This has nothing to do with hormones. It's just shitty people that can't tell the truth. Been there several times. If you don't want to hang with me, balls up and tell me. It sucks even worse when you can see right through it. Your feelings are hurt cause they are avoiding you, and it makes it worse because they make up excuses to "spare" your feelings. My animals are still my best friends. They are the closest thing to unconditional love that I have ever felt.

Now that I just reread this, maybe I'm just being hormonal?

Damn it. I just typed out a big thing and somehow lost it by accidentally hitting the back button. So uh....yeah....I am sorry. Do what all of them above me said. :P
