@cjd&k no, that's exactly how it is!!! Like I'm not even as bothered by it as I maybe should be....because he's a complete joke. Still lives at mommy and daddy's house, no responsibility, dropped out of school, no real plans, and parties all the time.....then has the audacity to tell me that my having a baby is ruining his party.... sorry dude!
Guess we can expect not to see much of Uncle Mike!
I think there is a clear difference emotionally between hoping for a specific sex before you find out (understanding you don't get a say either way) & being completely "heartbroken" over which sex you're carrying (even though, again, you know you have no say).
Being hopeful for your child vs resentful of said child. One is a positive thing and the other is alllll negative.
My work computer is a TW for constantly freezing and crashing on me. My coworkers too. First time in 6 years I'm not on our company trip. Only a couple of them know I'm pregnant. I decided to post a bump pic on Sunday via selective FB privacy setting (not going public yet) saying I missed them but am pumped for the 2nd trimester. No responses. I try to brush it off, thinking maybe word got around so it wasnt a surprise. Last night they received an award that I spent 3 years working toward, our team finally hit #1 in the nation, and I was directly responsible for 70% of it. Not a single text or call from any of them. I posted a status on FB congratulating the whole team, how proud I am of everyone, how I wish I could be there, and how they deserve the success and celebration. No responses.
I work in finance and we do kinda have a "wolf of wall street" kind of culture that's all about work hard, play hard, so I know it bothered some people during the first tri that I went pretty much off the grid, wasn't going to happy hour or anything anymore. Not everyone knew I was pregnant so I probably came off as cold and distant. But I feel like 1 month of me being different shouldn't erase 6 years of great working relationships.
@LauraFi at the risk of sounding like a twattle, we've always had dogs growing up and he wasn't like this before. This is a new thing with him because I'm almost positive he's not getting energy out. We use to go hiking, walking, dog beaching. And with me being on limited activity with this pregnancy it's just hard. These are all new characteristics that we're seeing. So as much as a professional could correct, the issue with him getting energy out is the issue. He's such a good boy and I would never leave the baby unattended, but even with being there, it makes me nervous. He's never been around kids period. At the dog beach some, but never one on one interactions so it's hard.
Along with all this "gender talk"... Anyone who asks my 5 year old if she wants a brother or sister is a TW! DH's family keeps asking her this and it's driving me crazy!! Of course she keeps saying she wants a sister (she has a brother). I just keep saying, "we just want a healthy baby right?!" I just don't understand the point of asking her. It's not like she's going to get to decide and it's just contributing to reinforce her want for a sister. Ick

Maybe hire/ask someone if they'd like a doggie companion to help out while you are limited. You seem very attached (obviously) and I know that you would like to do everything you can for him. Maybe it's the energy issue. I'm sure there are plenty of people who can't have a dog for various reasons but would love to spend time with one anyway.
@Love4littlethings24 It would be irresponsible of you as a parent and a pet owner to keep a dog that you feel will not be suitable around you during pregnancy and a baby. Just, please, find him a home where he will be well cared for. I love dogs, and i am by no means implying you would do otherwise. I am saying this hits close to home. We have three dogs, one is an 8 year old springer spaniel. I love him so much, we go running together, we go hiking, I'm the only one he snuggles with. He's smart, he is well mannered and listens. Lately, he's been acting crazy. He has started marking all over my house and humping our 4 year old female pit. Both he has never done before. My husband thinks he is showing signs of aggresion, maybe im byist but i dont see it. Anyway, we are exploring our options on how to fix it. I would be heartbroken to have to rehome him. Good luck. My twat waffle tuesday is husband. For picking up his full grown pit bull and setting her in my lap. Only for her to put all her weight on my pelvis and leap off. It really hurt
And my TW are my bowels. I haven't pooped more than a mini pooplet in more than four days. Finally broke down and sent DH to the pharmacy to get me something to get things moving again
@Beverly0628 he came from a breeder and the parents were imported from Germany, so I know someone, I'm thinking a male who lives alone who goes hiking a lot, he would be perfect for! I would never let him go to a shelter or even a rescue because I want to see and get a vibe from the people that are taking him.
I'm a little late to the party, but I just wanted to say, friends of ours just had a new baby in June. They had an 18month old GErman shepherd, and also feared for baby. Puppy didn't like kids, was super hyper, even with extensive training and still chewed half the house when out of her crate. It was a super hard decision but they returned the dog to the breeder. Now she is being put into the police training program. Several people have them a hard time, but at the end of the day, you have to do what's right for your fam! Don't feel bad about that, giving up a dog is hard enough.
