My ex is supposed to drop my kids off at 730 and then I take them to school, pick them up, etc because he's at work. It's 750 and I haven't heard anything from him. School starts at 800 so I sure hope he's planning on taking them or already has at this point, but now I'm worried something happened. Ughhhhh.
With any luck he's just being a douche and they're ok. Keep us posted!
Just got my sister's wedding invitation, addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Michael R----. Mike is of Mexican descent and has a very Hispanic last name; Mike is also short for Miguel. My sister doesn't know my husband's real name. Fortunately I managed not to pee myself laughing, so I'm counting it as a win.

He just forgot to bring them. Which is better than a car accident or something but still crazy annoying.
3 miscarriages - 1 DS (6) - 1 DD (3) - #3 due March 30!
Lol fiancé randomly woke up last night screaming because he had a Charlie horse. He just started complaining about it again now that we are up for the day... Me: You do know that I get those like once a week, and I've never once woken you up to complain about it like a little baby right? Him: So does this mean I still have to make breakfast?
Hi my name is Rachel and I'm an AW...this morning just before leaving for work DH goes to walk out the door and quickly turned around smiling at me and says "You look really pretty this morning, you're glowing!" Made my morning And then DD woke up NOT cranky! (I swear she acts like a teenager most mornings, whining when I get her up, this morning she was all snuggly and happy).
What do BH feel like? I felt something funky at 4 am but I just don't know. It was like a sucking in feeling.
For me it's like my entire stomach tightens, and I feel this need to go to the bathroom, But nothing happens. It doesn't hurt, but it is DAMNING uncomfortable.
Ugh. I just booked our hotel room for my sister's wedding in June.
Have I mentioned how much I am not looking forward to the amount of money we'll be spending over the course of this particular weekend?
Is it a UO if I say that I absolutely HATE weddings and the expectation that family should fly in, take time off, or have to rent a hotel room in order for them to show that they "love and support you." I told all of my family/friends that were far away that they 100% didn't need to go to my wedding or feel obligated to. They can love and support me through a phone call, text, Facebook congrats, card, whatever.
I also 100% refuse to be in ANYONE'S wedding party. Too expensive and time consuming. Unless you're paying for my stuff, the answer is no. I was awesome and paid for everyone's stuff and only required the wedding party to be at the wedding on time. That's it. I even told them that they could leave after photos if they had other plans.

One word: elopement. Best thing I've ever done.
I did a hybrid. We got married at the courthouse with just our parents and siblings and then threw a backyard party at my parents' house a couple days later. It was so low-key,low-expense, low-stress and super fun. It was seriously the best. I got to pour everyone tequila shots from an oversized bottle shaped like a rifle.
Yep. Her bachelorette "party" is this weekend. We're going for massages. I am assuming I'll be paying for her's too since typically the MOH pays for the bachelorette party. There are no bridesmaids, just me as the MOH, so at least there's that. Everyone who's going will just pay their own way.
Also, the bridal shower that I'll be throwing in May. 1 month PP.
Also, the dress. The cost of the dress probably wont be much but still. Who wants to try on dresses PP? Not me.
Also, the cost of boarding my two dogs for the weekend. Yay.

DH vetoed eloping. He's the one that wanted all the traditional wedding stuff too (no first look, tuxes not suits, etc). We did pay for all dresses/tuxes and hotel rooms for the wedding party though. The only wedding I've been in there were multiple pregnant bridesmaids at different stages, so the bride told us to pick out a black dress and flats ($30 at Target with pockets, woot) and then got us matching jewelry. That was great.

Had my first one ever last night in my left calf. Holy crap it was awful!

We did "destination" in Breckinridge but paid for EVERYONES everything (except the family members that could drive out). We only had 12 guests so we were able to rent the house for everybody, the guys went fly fishing and girls all got mani/pedis, we took the kids to an amusement park type thing, purchased apparel for those who were delegates to wear something, etc. I'm so glad we did that for our close family versus hosting 250+ people and not being able to do as much for everyone. Being in a wedding is SOOOO expensive and time consuming. For a super close friend I wouldn't mind, but for someone that I likely won't talk to in ten years, it's a definite no.

I had one too!!! My mom is here staying with me since DH is at work in Texas, and I started screaming early this AM. She thought we were having a baby. LOL

DH, my parents, and my ILs all said no to my elopement plan. If it had been up to me, we would have just gotten married the same month that we officially got engaged.
My bestie just got done taking some last minute maternity photos for me. I was on the fence about having any done but she talked me into it. I can't wait to see them!!. She's edited 2 as a sneak peek and I'll post in the maternity photo thread soon as I get them. I'm already glad I did it ! If you are on the fence like I was just do it!
I took a breastfeeding class yesterday, and the only thing I really got out of it is what baby's face is supposed to look like right at the latch. The video on the technique was super helpful, but I almost fell out of my chair laughing at that face. I kept picturing the way a turtle drops its jaw and its eyes get really big before it takes a bite of something.
@AmadorRose With DS, before we were allowed to leave the hospital with him I was supposed to watch a bunch of videos on breastfeeding. DH would randomly scream "jolly rancher nipples" throughout all of the videos. I kept looking down at my boobs and thinking there was something either seriously wrong with my nipples (which there were... Too short!), or they just used women with the largest nipples they could find to show you an easy latch.
Bernie Sanders baby died of SIDS. As if I wasn't already petrified enough of it... Poor little man was just four months old. Bernie Sanders -- 'Bernie Baby' Dead

Can anyone else feel their babies turning or am I losing my mind? She has gone from being up and down since about week 28, as far as I can tell, to being transverse in one big turn a few nights ago and is now slowly turning further. Am I crazy? I don't have an u/s to confirm her positioning for another two weeks. My belly is also sitting considerably lower and I can finally breathe! I know dropping has no correlation to going into labor, but I'm excited that she might be getting ready to make her entrance!

I felt a big whoosh when little man turned from frank breech to head down about 2 weeks ago. It was a huge ,unmistakable movement almost like when your stomach turns on a roller coaster.

We're all about to have babies. Like, within the next 10 weeks they'll all be here.
I'm already glad I did it ! If you are on the fence like I was just do it!
@AmadorRose I had my breastfeeding course today and the midwife had us practice on dummies. I really tried keeping it together
