What's on your minds, women?
The word you're looking for is SEX. I promise. No, it's not gender. It's sex. You're welcome.

Young and in Love.

I enjoyed yesterday's UO's.
// I love you too. //
[pity party for one]
I'm disappointed in how we're celebrating my birthday. DH always tells me "Don't worry, I've got some ideas!", so then I get excited and think outside of the box of all the things we could possibly do. Without fail, just a few days before he gets exasperated and says "You're too difficult to shop for. I don't know what you want."
So tonight, we're going to grab a dinner and go shopping at the Mall of America . . . which should be perfect, but I always hope, since he says he has ideas, that he's going to come through with a great gift/activity. I'm just let down that for being married for 6 years and his stating he has ideas, he's coming empty handed.
It doesn't help that I have to shoot an engagement session and a wedding tomorrow on my birthday. I then have 6 sessions on Sunday. This crappy weather has resulted in a lot of rescheduled sessions, otherwise I would have had the morning of my birthday and Sunday free.
:: wine for my whine? anybody, please? ::
PnR's: I adore my DH and he is a great man, so I'm not trying to bash him. Just expressing my disappointment over my birthday. I don't expect him to read my mind. He got my hopes up, but unfortunately wasn't able to actualize.
I love this so much.
This is me, every day, lately.
I'm going in to put in an appearance, thne working from home. All I have to do today is about 800 pages of proposal reading, and I can do that much better from my sofa, in yoga pants.
I got pumpkin munchkins on the way to work and someone brought in doughnuts too. I'm going to eat both and I'm ok with it. I had a decent week in the gym and we're going camping/hiking this weekend.
This is exactly how I feel about work these days, too.
I'm sorry- I know how you feel. I love my DH and he really is a wonderful man, but birthdays and special occasions really aren't his forte. He "tries" but we are far apart on our ideas of things. Here's hoping your DH pulls through and knocks your socks off! Happy early birthday!
Here's my confession:
I do not like my husband's family. I never got to meet his mom, she died about two years before we met. But his dad, stepmom, brothers, and stepsisters? I don't like them. I'm so glad they live in Northern Wisconsin. But I resent using up DH's precious vacation time visiting them.
I mean, I really, really dislike them.
Waiting for our Miracle Baby, Carly Marie, Due April 24, 2013!
This is me for the last 3 months. I love my job, but I just have other things on my mind. It also doesn't help that I have very few deadlines. Makes procrastinating so much easier.
I'm glad someone could understand where I was coming from! I'm definitely not being one of those girls who just sit all coy, basically demanding their DH figure out the perfect gift.
Thank you!
Gah. That does sound fantastic, but I had to laugh at "It's just a date that has been planned forever." 100%
You know what, I should have my BFF put a bug in his ear that I'll be home early from my wedding, since it's just a short 6 hour one, and that he could plan something for when I got home . . .
DH started talking "what if's" about this LO possibly being a girl. Honestly, even though it's a 50/50, it feels like the chips are stacked against us after two [awesome] boys, so it's not something we even talk about.
Last night he said "and if this one [patting my belly] is a little missus . . . " and went one to talk about future family vacations. I've never ever heard DH say "missus" before in my life, but it made my heart stop in the sweetest, most endearing way possible.
I really hope we get a daughter.
FI and I haven't been together that long, but he is the same way. I am always getting him little things here and there (I like writing notes and actually mailing cards in the mail, lol), and he is always amazed at the gifts I've gotten him (birthday, christmas, our 1 year anniversary, etc.) and I know he wants to go all-out to give me something amazing, but his idea of amazing and my idea of amazing just haven't met yet, lol. And I don't want to straight up tell him what I want otherwise where's the surprise, I could just go and get it myself.
MH is the same way. I feel bad being disappointed and I try to hide it, but some times I just can't. I know he tries though. My favorite was when he put sticky notes with sweet things on them all over the inside of my car one random day.
This!
I confess that I too, enjoyed them. But I bump at night, and people had already left by the time I had anything to say.
That is too cute
FI REALLY wants a boy, but about two weeks ago, with both our girls sleeping in the other room, we were talking about how my daughter is going to be a really good big sister (she's so good with his daughter), and he slipped and said "She'll have the girls following her around." and I was like girlS, plural?? He was surprised he said it but I reminded him that it very well could be a girl, so it's good to be prepared 
At least we know they're trying! The post it note story is adorable!
OMG yes, me too!!
Awwww that is so sweet
I hope you get your girl too. I know the odds are in favor of another boy (70% according to my u/s tech), but I'm pretty sure the baby doesn't care about odds
Two breakfasts is the way to go! I have cereal with yogurt at home or a breakfast bar in the car if I'm running late, then oatmeal at work.
LOL I was thinking this the other day...
I am drinking a Skinny Vanilla Latte (2 pumps only). I haven't had caffine in a long time and I am on a high right now. I am sure baby is too! Happy Friday
Make a pregnancy ticker
I know, that was awesome! I still have the stickies in my wallet and look at them when I need a pick me up. Hmm, maybe I should remind him how awesome that was.
Ha Ha - So true.
At our NT scan, the tech thought this LO might be a boy, but I'm not holding my breath. In fact, I'm still calling the baby "it" until we get the a/s scan.
Also, I might not read those "they were wrong" posts.
I'm sincerely hoping for at least one "they told us baby, but it's a pterodactyl!"
It's unfortunate but (and I'm only going off your siggy here, so I apologize if I'm wrong) since you don't have any kids and they have two, I can totally understand why they don't come visit you more.
The 6-hour drive might be an annoyance for you, but I would bet good money it's 100 x harder for them with 2 kids in tow.
I agree with MMHa, you may see them differently once you have LO and realize it's not a cake walk to take a kid of any age on a 6-hour drive. It's especially difficult with two. =/
// I love you too. //
We thought the same on my July '11 BMB, but only had ONE!
I sit, too, and I always wipe the seat beforehand. Honestly, I don't understand how people can pee on a seat and then not clean up after themselves. It's disgusting. I would be way embarrassed if I sprinkled, walked out and then saw the next lady walk into the same stall.
Also, I'm really short so I feel like by the time I'm squatting enough over the seat, I'm practically sitting on it anyway. It's just awkward.
