1. The weather. There is just no reason for every day to be 80% + humidity. It's like living in a fucking jungle. When I was out running this morning and pushing the stroller, this is pretty much how I felt:
2. My clothes. I hate them all, but I don't want to buy any more because I only have two months yet. Some of it is my fault since I'm cheap, but getting through the summer with just two pairs of maternity shorts? Yeah, I don't advise trying that. I want to burn them when I'm done. I actually bought a new pair of maternity bottoms today (Target clearance for the win!) by justifying to myself that I have several friends about my size who haven't had babies yet, so essentially I'm buying THEM a present in the form of a future hand-me-down. First come, first serve ladies, get cracking!

3. People. I seriously hate them all. This isn't isolated to pregnancy, but going out into public now seriously makes me feel ragey inside. The checkout lady at Target was like "You're due on Halloween? Is that bad luck?" Yes lady, because due dates are like appointments and the baby will arrive EXACTLY on that day (plus, I'm actually due November 1st, and I don't know why she thinks those are the same day). Also, the only "bad luck" days to have a baby are when you have it before it's full term. Maybe also Christmas because that kid is going to get shafted its whole life because there is no way you actually get the same amount of presents as other people's birthday and Christmas combined.
It took every remaining bit of my self control to not do this, even though I know the lady was just making friendly conversation:
A large part of my current crankiness is a lack of sleep since I stopped taking the prescription painkiller at night. I'm trying to be patient for Faith, but then I have none left for anyone else (my husband is such a lucky guy). Luckily for everyone, my mood should improve over the next week.
1. It is supposed to cool down. I can't wait for it dip below 80 degrees in my treadmill room (the humidity means we have the dehumidifers running on constant and that makes it hot).
2. We're going to the beach for a week. Who can be cranky at the beach?
Speaking of the beach, I finally get the chance to be that pregnant chick in a bikini at the beach and gross everyone out with my veiny stomach and visible fetal movement. I think I'll repress my urge to ruin people's lunches and stick with my hand-me-down maternity tankini, but it is a fun idea.
Since this whole post is pretty much a pregnancy bitch session, how about we finish it off with a belly shot? I feel like I look exactly the same every time I post one of these, but people still ask to see and I'm a people pleaser.

| 32 weeks and I hate Old Navy's "Everything striped!" maternity shirts so much |
I think the next pregnancy phase will be "Childbirth: Do I Have To? I Don't Wanna" or "Holy Crap I Should Get Baby Stuff Ready".
At least I have an adorable first outfit for her.

| Newborn size stuff is like doll clothing |

| These kill me |
Yes, I do realize this won't fit for long, but it was 70% on clearance and I couldn't resist. Faith wore newborn size stuff for like 3 weeks, so I'll just have her wear it as often as possible in that time frame.
What is making you cranky these days? Feel free to vent in the comment section.
I think you're one of the few people who are going to have MORE pictures of themselves pregnant the second time, because you didn't blog during the first time.
ReplyDeleteYou were barely even Internet-literate. so sad.
I didn't even get my camera until midway through my pregnancy with Faith. It was like living in the dark ages.
DeleteAlso - those horizontal stripes make you look fat.
ReplyDeleteYour face makes you look ugly.
DeleteLooks like someone's got a case of the Mondays.
DeleteWhenever I have a cranky day, I just read your blog and it makes my world a better place. Especially when you post pictures of dogs humping things.
ReplyDeleteI think we all know that duck was asking for it.
Deletetoo bad dogs can't lasso ducks with their penises.
Deletewas the dog even able to rape the duck, without having a matching corkscrew penis?
DeleteThose stripes are really slimming.
ReplyDeleteI know, right? Thank goodness Old Navy thought of putting them on every single maternity shirt.
DeleteThis weather is making me crazy. 100% humidity this morning. So f-ing sick of it.
ReplyDeleteMost people are annoying too. Dogs are way better.
Unless they are vomiting in the kitchen. :)
DeleteI was born on Christmas and I can attest to the fact that you do get shafted every year. No birthday parties because the holidays are so busy, no birthday cupcakes at school since your birthday is always a day off, merry birthday happy Christmas cards, and never a new bike (at least not when you live in NY).
ReplyDeleteLately everyday has been kinda crappy so I'm run ing a lot.
I'm pretty sure Christmas is the worst day to have a birthday, unless you're also a twin (because I think twins get shafted on both holidays in general)
DeleteMy internet is being all sucky and only loads the TOP of all your pictures. WTF? That's making me cranky. All I see is your camera, your face and your striped rack. And then a grey box.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I gather from the comments that dog humps a duck. Which I also don't get to see. Rude.
I wouldn't read my blog without the pictures. I commend your dedication.
Deletethere are words in this blog?
Deletebut really, if all you see is kara's rack, you've already seen the best part.
DeleteI pooped in the bathroom that that picture was taken in.
DeleteLove the belly shot,at least you don't look cranky in it. Your husband is a lucky guy.
ReplyDeleteMy body is making me cranky it is all I'm so tired and worn out and I just want to freaking run.
A good run would go a long way in improving my mood :)
DeleteI hope you have fun at the beach. You should totally show off your belly, it is cute. :). If the duck doesn't get pregnant it was obviously asking for it.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, my belly still hangs out of my tankini :)
DeleteA friend of a friend's wife and newborn died during childbirth this summer. Anytime someone makes some sort of ridiculous smug remark about pregnancy, labour, or being mentally ready for having a baby means that everything will go smoothly, I think of that poor grieving family and want to shout. Thanks for being the anti-smug. Even in your stripes.
ReplyDeleteI strained my neck and now am fubared.
ReplyDeleteThe humidity is making me cranky too and the fact that my body won't push to the 10:30/mile pace I know it can do. F my life.
ReplyDeleteOh. I know cranky. The beach sounds awesome, except that it sounds hot. and sandy. and how do you get comfortable? but yeah, have fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your vacation and I would really love it if you wore the same crochet bikini that Tori Spelling wore when she was hugely pregnant. So hot.
ReplyDeleteI'm really confused about your complaint about the weather, I was under the impression you spend the majority of your day in air conditioning?
ReplyDeleteIf I were you, I would never ever wear anything but running clothes or pjs.
OMG the shirt is so cute.
This weather is awful. Seriously, it needs to be fall NOW.
ReplyDeleteNothing is making me cranky now, but last week it was my in-laws' love of Rush Limbaugh. I swear, I was getting more stupid with every minute we listened to him.
Have fun at the beach!!
Everything makes me cranky. Especially the nasty hot weather. Of course, when it gets really cold I'll bitch about that too.
ReplyDeleteI say go for the string bikini, you're pregnant, who cares about other people! I think pregnant women are allowed to go crazy on people when they say stupid things. Hope your beach trip goes great!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's making me cranky! My coping technique is going to be not reading any more, and taking an early nap. :^)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're getting away to the beach. I won't ever wear a bikini again due to my pregnancy, which left me with a C-section border scar and some lovely extra skin above it--extra attractive because there is no longer a baby underneath it.
I wasn't brave enough to wear a bikini at the beach. That was partially because it still wasn't totally obvious that I am actually pregnant and not just fat so that probably would have made that issue even worse, lol. I can understand hitting the cranky phase. I already hate my maternity clothes and I've just started wearing them in the past couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteI think your baby needs these, too.
ReplyDeleteHeelarious
Stopping by from Rose's blog, and you may be sick to death of your two outfits, but you look fantastic. I'm heartily sick of everything I have to wear, but I refuse to buy new clothes that fit me right now in my post-sit on my ass for summer vacation size. And the heat/humidity...can't imagine dealing with this summer while pregnant. It was bad enough while lazy.
