My MIL took over the planning of my baby shower from my Mom and SILs since I'm having another shower for a different branch of family/friends. She apparently sent out the invites on Tuesday but guess who didn't get an invite?

THIS BITCH (points to self)

So when my GF called me today and asked me details about the shower, I had literally nothing to tell her as I wasn't informed of the time, date, place or even if the invite said where I was registered at. Yeah. So I asked my MIL to send me a picture of the invites at least, so I could see.  She sent me this shit:

...................

I am speechless. This has MIL style all over it and zero of me.

@MonkeyJD - I'm really sorry. Having a house absolutely sucks sometimes

I know. The worst part wasn't the knowledge that we may have to replace the entire floor but seeing the look on DH's face. It broke my heart. He carries so much weight on himself about how he believes he needs to provide for us and I know in his mind he was beating himself up because he felt that couldn't even provide a safe (mold free) home for me & Noah. Hopefully my interview today goes well & they overlook my belly so that DH won't be our sole source of income & can hopefully lose some of that stress.

@MonkeyJD‌ So sorry about the mold situation! Dealing with house issues sucks sometimes, especially hate you're going through it this close to July and the new baby! But at least y'all found it. Hoping your interview goes well!! T&PS!!! Keep us posted!

rachelchristina

@LiteraChick‌ So sorry about your MIL invites...bleh... Did she at least pick a time and date that you could attend?

Yeahhhh it's for June 1st. I just know it's going to be the kind of old lady party with like... jello molds with whipped cream and crap like that. I just think if you take over the planning of something like that, at the least you should TRY to incorporate a bit of the Mom in there.

I have never in my life worn leopard or zebra print and the invites are black! It looks like some stripper invite to a bachelorette!

Yes, I'm aware I'm being petty. It's only because it's my MIL. Not even getting an invite in the mail shows me this is her way of taking over and making it about HER first blood grandson. Serenity now, serenity now.


Yea, I know what you mean. I think she should have at least talked to you about it and incorporated some of you in it. Hope once your son gets here she respects your wishes then!

On the subject of baby boners.... DS wakes up with one a lot of mornings when I change his diaper.  He throws a fit because he doesn't like it exposed or messed with I guess.  If it stays par for the course, I really dread him growing up because he is going to have a reputation and all the sluts are going to be pursuing him.  Good thing I'm a major bitch to hopefully keep most at bay.

So my wedding anniversary is in 3 days and I still don't know what to get DW. She doesn't want anything but I still like to do something sentimental anyway even if its small. Ugh...

The worst part is that she does all of this with a smile :-D

It's tricky to catch the woman doing any of this. She is a formidable opponent, to be sure. But I'm wise to her ways ;-)

--------------------------

1. Those are the worst kind of ppl. It reminds me of the dudes from clockwork orange. *shudder* sociopath. ETA: I don't by any means mean to compare her to that of a rapist. Just they way he smiled when he did his crimes.

2. That gif is so eerie and perfect. I may make it my next siggy.

That's actually a great idea! Although I think I'll just make the big breakfast to save on Mula lol I think we'll go to Dave and busters so she can knock back a few beers and have a good time at the arcade like we used to. Haha she's been wanting a new outfit so I might drag her out to KOP mall for the day too.

Thanks for the idea! *hugs and happy dance*

MonkeyJD

Thanks for all the T&P guys!!! The interview went well (at least from my perspective). I should know something in a week or two.

sxymamakat

@MonkeyJD -So sorry about the nasty surprise!  I hope it gets cleaned up quickly and cheaply! 

@Literachick - Heh, my shower is also scheduled for June 1st, and I am also the only guest who didn't get an invite.  So methinks I'm guessing time and location?  It wasn't supposed to be a surprise, but sounds like it might be!  (That said, my mom -who is helping out but not a hostess- said something about it asking for people to bring diapers.  1- I said that is the one thing I didn't want to happen and 2- we're CDing. D'oh. )

@literachick I want you to help my husband plan all of our dates.

Had my 4th ultrasound today and the placenta has moved! I'm off all restrictions which means I can finally get some. Last pregnancy I had no sex drive and of course this one when I get told I can't have sex is when I really want it. More importantly, though, I can continue my plan for a vbac. I still have to schedule a RCS *just in case* since they won't induce for a vbac, but I can put it out to the very last date and hope to go into labor and not need it!

MonkeyJD

I am so excited! My girlfriend (the one who had a m/c back in February) sent me a pic this morning of her positive pregnancy test! I did a happy dance in my living room when I saw it \:D/

Freaked out by this news story about a couple whose monitor (which was connected to their cell phones) got hacked by some creep who yelled at their kid through the speakers! I'm definitely rethinking my monitor choice.

I was having myself a pity party last night after this crazy week and wrote on Facebook that I need a friend that lives within 20 miles of me.

The girl I mentioned before that I met through Facebook to start a "mom group" in our town messaged me and invited me to a Mary Kay party and to go shopping with her tomorrow.

Sometimes I really love Facebook.

Girl, me too! I need a good friend! I'm usually fine on my own, but sometimes you really do need someone you can call and say "Meet me for coffee, I got a shit ton to talk about".

@LiteraChick‌ - At least it's not pink. Wasn't she referring to the baby as a "she" for a while? Oh and did she get you a nice baby carrier aka 31 bag to match the invite? You shall now be known as Blue Zebra Mommy.
You're welcome.

Niece left Tuesday for home after a week with us and guess what she left behind for me? Her cold. Awesome. Not only can't I breathe through my nose, but it's also running like crazy at the same time. Ugh! Doctor gave me the ok to take Tylenol cold but it hasn't seemed to help today.

I like looking at the wikipedia traditional anniversary gifts and spinning it in a fun way. Year one was paper and I had a tiny book of stick figure people made telling DH why I loved him (literally googled first anniversary paper gifts.) He bought me tickets to my alma maters basketball game.

Year three is... leather! Haha

LO keeps digging his elbow (or something hard) into my belly button. It takes my breath away every damn time. I asked him to stop...didn't listen. I pushed him back...he did it harder. Then, we got into a full out war where I told him he was being an asshole and if this was any way a prediction of the future he was going to be in time out a LOT. ...So he turned on my vagina.

BoraBoraBaby

Dreamed the night before last that I could tell LO had a runny nose, could hear her sniffling. Then I felt a *pop*, stood up quickly and realized I was covered in snot! That's when I knew my water broke.

rachelchristina

@hopalong1015‌ I know exactly what you mean!! My friend had her baby last week and seeing her little girl made me so happy for her, but also even more excited to see my own little girl in July!

BoraBoraBaby

Yes this is all part of my dream! No labor. But if that's what it really feels like, ew.

@boraborababy DON'T ENCOURAGE THAT KIND OF TALK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She has fully accepted that it's a boy, but still effs up the pronunciation of his name every single time. Like it's so hard to remember, so difficult. I wonder if she does it on purpose like she thinks it will have a bearing on whether we change it or not. Nope, sucker is in stone in our minds ;-)

I can't wait to take pictures of this shindig. I hope someone puts a stuffed animal in the tote, I know I'll be putting Brom in there first chance I get for a photo op )

*******
For some reason I was thinking about the name Brom today and how cute it is. If an Internet stranger can remember, surely your MIL can muster up some brain cells.

helloblueeyes

My DH told me this morning that he had a dream about the baby last night. She had a head full of dark hair like him, but my face shape and she was the most adorable thing ever. He said he held her up and she smiled at him.

Sweetest thing I've ever heard and it made me tear up.
