@saiven  I'm with you on the double standard.  My mom was shocked when I asked her to walk me down the aisle.  She assumed, because my dad had passed away, that I would ask my brother or father-in-law....but she was the one who raised me and sacrificed everything for us, so wouldn't I ask her?  This also reminds me of a post from a long time ago about how, having a daughter, you have so many more worries about teen pregnancy because "all the responsibility falls on the girl"...and a few people posted how they were offended because they spend just as much effort worrying about and teaching their sons to avoid unplanned pregnancy - since it should never be an option that they just walk away and leave the girl to fend for herself.

I had both my parents walk me down the aisle. They both raised me.
My sisters did the same.

Good luck to everyone who is 40+ weeks! I'm almost at 39 and very much done with this, so I can only imagine how I'll feel if we go past 40. Praying for the full moon to work it's magic next week!!! I want to be able to breathe, tie my shoes, WEAR my shoes, eat, not snore, stop itching from the damn eczema, wear my beautiful wedding rings, feel my fingertips... shall I go on?

My FFFC is that I don't want this baby out enough to consider sex with DH right now.

OH and last night we spent $41 at Whole Foods on only dessert.

Even though I was bitching about still being pregnant at 37-38w, seeing people that are now at that point bitching makes me want to come back with snarky comments that are mean and uncalled for.

Wait 'til you go over 40...or better yet, wait 'til you're sitting at 41.3 and have to be induced...I would do anything for a contraction or two right now...

I went 40+2 with DS. Every day past 40 seems like a week by itself. 

I think I will be using this explanation from now on. You're right! Every single day feels like an eternity! You'd think that staying busy at work would make it better but NOPE!

I'm already contemplating doing this baby thing again in 2015. These postpartum hormones need to GTFO before I find myself knocked up again.

That's so funny, I just came in this thread to say that myself! I'm so exhausted and pregnancy was a pain for me(not as bad as others had it but pregnancy just sucks) but I want another one soooo bad. My boy's only 3 weeks and I feel like it flew by.

I told DH we should do this again ASAP before we're any older. He will be 40 this year. He looked at me like I was insane......which I very well may be. Ha ha. DD doesn't help either, she asked for a new sister to go with her new brother.

Yum. What did you get?

A chocolate buttercream cake, a big container of chocolate chip cookies, and a big container of chocolate chip biscotti....for DH and I.

You know how to party!

My dad passed away before my wedding, and I would have loved for him to walk me down the aisle. My mom and step dad walked me down the aisle and I can't imagine making that walk without her, it was so sweet..

@bookitboo DH turned to me and said "well now I think your chocolate craving should be satisfied." My response "But I have three weeks left....this won't last that whole time"

I can't stop buying overpriced smoothies at whole foods. I'm sure I could just buy the stuff to make my own for cheaper, but I'm far too lazy for that.

@robsbabygirl08‌, you're nuts!! lol, that's pregnancy amnesia for you. But I've always thought giving birth can be addicting. I think it's the rush of adrenaline and hormones. I always get a little "high" from it. It better not happen this time though, we're most definitely DONE

@peggels24‌

Is he joking?! It might satisfy the craving for the weekend, if you're careful

Both of my parents walked me down the aisle too. The venue planner told me I was the first bride she had do that. I told her that my mom was just as big a part of my life as my father.

On the "giving away" topic. My parents didn't like calling it that because to them it sounded like they would never see me again, so they told everyone they were "presenting me as a bride to my future husband."

I would have given anything for my babies to make it to 36 w.... The furthest I got was 35.2 with this one and we still ended up with nicu time. I was super uncomfy before he was born, but I'll take it if it means baby is ok.

Our Christmas stuff came down the 27 th... Usually I'm a keep it up as long as possible, but being home with a toddler and newborn necessitated it be brought down ASAP.

Wait, girls!  I had my first two 51 weeks apart and it was very very hard!  Twins would have been easier.  DS1 didn't even try to walk until he was 15 months, DH worked 60 hours a week, they never napped at the same time and I know I'll think of more!

I hear you on the post partum hormones, though.  I jumped on DH this morning, excited that there's only 3 more weeks until I see my MW!  Happy that she wanted me to come in 4 weeks PP.

My Dad called me yesterday, I didn't pick up. I know he wants to talk about the bassinet he hasn't started building (he's an amazing craftsman) and I just want him to effing do it already! I am afraid if I talk to him I will give him all snark and impatience and he doesn't deserve that. Contemplating just texting him back saying my sire throat is so bad I'm not up for a phone conversation (which is true). He talked to me about his ideas in September and still hasn't started. I could smack him.
