I think she was more judging the OP because they don't care. They made no reference to nobody having a but allergy. Just said oops I don't care. And a quick call to say "hey I totally spaced this morning" would be polite regardless of if there is a kid with a nut allergy or not. There can be a new kid on any given day that may have a nut allergy.
How do you know I didn't?
1.) I never said you didn't and 2.) your attitude of I don't care because it's a dumb rule makes it sound a lot like you didn't.
Congrats to my GP Sister from another mister Bruinsbabe!!
Edited to quote hfooter "I hate being pregnant. I wish I could be excited but I'm just not into it."
Ditto...not that I'm not happy to have a LO in the end. But, selfishly I miss my old body already. I feel absolutely disgusting and I don't feel like I have any control over it anymore. I don't feel pretty anymore and I feel like I may resent LO if I end up with a mutilated vagina, giant cracked nipples or stretch marks. I want it not to matter, but it does.
This is exactly how I was feeling the first go around, I got a few stretch marks in the last week before he was born, my nipples cracked and bled, my boobs deflated, and I was at my skinniest ever right before I got pregnant. I hate being pregnant, I didn't rub my belly lovingly all day err day and I didn't think any of it was cute. I know this sounds cliche but looking at that little dude really does make those thoughts go away. I was 23 when he was born and I spent the whole summer feeling fat and seeing the tan 20somethings on Facebook gallivanting to the beach and partying their life away, but I didn't feel like that for long....I specifically remember one night when DH was at work (he used to work 6:30pm-6:30am) and I was struggling with BF, I was tired and had a moment of "really? 18 years of this?" And then DS looked at me and smiled for the first time and suddenly it felt like I would never have enough of that innocent little guy that loves in the purest form.
Ok done with the gushy :-@...don't worry love, you got it! There's a reason only women get this job =D>
I was connecting a CADD pump for a palliative patient when I got the sudden urge to vomit. It was coming up and I had nowhere to go so I had to se the patients bathroom to vomit. The patients family came into the bathroom to comfort me and her husband actually went out to the kitchenette to bring me a cold cup of water. I'm sure it was the last thing they needed and I felt so guilty.
Mine is along these lines too. He's being REALLY bad and I'm so tired and irritated. Last night I let him cry in his room while I closed my door and completely tuned him out, listened to lo's HB and then took a nice quiet shower. DH was with him, but I still felt guilty because all he wanted was mommy. And he only wants me so he can torture me.
I cringe when I hear people call their kids bad. Something about calling kids that word I just can't handle.
Talk to me in 2 years. I frequently refer to my kid as the "Hell Beast". Never in front of him obviously. Toddlers are assholes.
I've often referred to my students as "little shits" and "demons" when discussing them outside of school. It's mostly said out of a combination of frustration and endearment. I don't think I've ever taught a kid who was truly bad and I am careful about calling them that. Bad behaviour, bad choices, bad attitude, absolutely. But the kids themselves were not innately bad. They do exist but I haven't personally taught one yet.
I haven't had my first prenatal checkup thing yet because my insurance gave me a male doctor that I can't change.
Wait, you're how far along, and you haven't seen a doctor at all yet? Do you have an appointment scheduled?
Not yet. I'm working on getting a weekday off of work (apparently doctor appts are considered unexcused "because you can schedule them") and my husband is doing the same. It'll be a lot easier for me if he's there with me at least for the first one.
Oh, and I figure about twelve weeks. Ish.
I can't imagine having not made it a priority enough to see a doctor at all in the first trimester and not even having an appointment scheduled yet.
You do realize if you don't want a male doctor there's a chance that a male doctor could deliver your baby??
I understand that, but we've already made the plan that my husband will use what vacation days he has to be there with me. It's our company's version of maternity/paternity leave called "baby bonding time" and having him with me even if I don't know the doctor will keep me from freaking out.
Is it just the fact that the doctor is male that is freaking you out? Honestly, it's not that big a deal. You won't be showing him anything he hasn't ever seen before and there is nothing sexual about it.
When I first had to see a gynecologist, I was freaked about about the idea of a male doctor too. But this particular gyn was the only specialist in the area who dealt with the issue I was having so I had no choice. I went and he was amazing. My previous male GP did my pelvic exams after that and he was fine too. My current GP is a woman and I don't trust her as far as I can throw her. She is dumb as a bag of rocks and I can't wait until it's time to refer me to an OB. At the end of the day, I understand the discomfort but male/female is not what matters most here.
I was tired of looking for a decent parking spot at Schnucks, so I took the "expectant mother" spot, tried to poof my belly out a little bigger than what it already is and did a preggo waddle into the store.
In my defense, I AM an expectant mother, but people might look at me and question it. Plus I only needed a small handful of things, so I didn't take it up too long.
ETA: I'm also not getting a flu shot. My doctor isn't "making" me get one and aside from when I was working in daycare, I've never gotten the flu. *knocking on every wood surface in my office*
I too parked in the Expectant mothers parking spot aftetr searching all over. I puffed out my belly and waddled my happy butt into the stores I needed. I kinda felt bad but damnit there weren't any other spots and I am expecting... sooo... oops my bad.

@pandadair I'm not sure I've actually seen Velveeta in stores around here. I will be on the lookout!
@BBer4 I've never tried the PC ones, will add those to the list too! Can't hurt to expose baby to a variety of fake cheeses.
