From reading the earlier posts I think it's pretty clear who reported her. Not cool, not cool.
I didn't say a word. Snitching isn't my style. There are dozens of lurkers on this board, as well as random mod screenings I'm assuming. I was just as surprised as the rest of you.

I didn't say it was you. I just think I can tell from what went down.
6 1/2 weeks left for me! I had my baby shower on Saturday and bought the rest of the items we needed yesterday. Aside from a few things left to pack in the hospital bag, we're all set and it's the craziest feeling.

Could you possibly go one thread without making it about you? Do you know how to do that?
We just lost a long-time contributor of this board, TB in general, and someone I considered great resource to me as a FTM and, most importantly, a friend.
Point taken and not interested in making it about me, I just felt like it was being implied I had something to do with it and didn't want to face the collective wrath of the N15 "it girls" if you will.

Carry on.

@grapesoda1111 I don't think it's "adult". I think it's just dult. As in; "Doing those dishes is a dult move." Or "Am I dult enough to have a baby?"... You know, he, she, it, we all dult occasionally. It's when you do it a lot, you become a dult.
lol... Anywho, it's crazy hearing that some of you guys are in the single digits! I'm towards the end of Nov, but once I hit those single digits too I feel like that's a game changer.
I'm scared about being at home alone with a tiny human that has NO INSTRUCTION MANUAL!!
Pregnancy, labour and birth - no problem. You have all these experts looking after you and people taking care of you. Then all of a sudden you are left alone with a stranger that you have to take care of - forever.
For me it finally sinked in today. I had to go take my paper work to the hospital to get register. As soon as I got there I almost had a panic attack I will be in labor in about 9 weeks :-S
Thanks for reminding me - I need to fill mine out!
During my hospital tour last night while we were waiting, there was a woman in labor in the lobby. She had obviously been rolled out just to get out of her room for a bit or was waiting to be called back to her room. I'm ashamed to say I stared a bit. It took watching her to realize that I would be in her shoes in around 8 weeks or so. It put me in a weird spot mentally for the rest of the night, that's for sure.
Ahh the same thing happened to me! We were at the hospital tour and there was like 3 women in the hallway WAITING on rooms, which was frightening in its own way. "What if that happens to me and I have my baby in the hall" is all I could think. Anyway, I felt like a little kid because I was wide eyed and couldn't stop staring. I just couldn't look away no matter how badly I wanted to.

I did not think this through.
It's funny reading this... When I had my son it was a section so i was in hospital for almost a week. Once we got home and his mother had kindly pissed off, we went up to bed and I remember just sitting there with baby in my lap and I turned to my husband and actually said "so what the fuck do we do now?!"
And we both sat there staring at him for at least half an hour, wondering if we should re dress him for bed even though he's clean, when we should put him in his bed, should I try and feed him?! It's a very weird feeling but that's what's so special about that first bit- you're getting to know them. The good and the bad! I'm pretty sure everyone has that initial anxiety the first time... I don't believe anyone who says otherwise!! You'll get to grips with it quicker than you think you can write your own manual eventually!
I've always wanted to be a mommy I played house a lot growing up and did a lot of babysitting. I couldn't wait to get home and had no anxiety over my LO and me being alone.
On the other hand I am about to have my 4th and am really excited but also look at my other 3 boys 5 and under and sometimes think WTF was I thinking! Those moments are very few . Usually when they're all being lil shits.
Less then 8 weeks to go for me! I am all ready for baby but not labor I'm starting to remember how painful my last was.........

I'm with you about labour! I was thinking about it the other day and was thinking WTF I gotta do it again..... Ugh. But like everyone says the end result is what matters. The third boy that makes our family complete!
9 weeks left here. We have the furniture, car seat, bases, stroller and monitor. We're having our big church shower this weekend. I'm so ready for it because I feel like I can't buy anything right now. Next week I'll finally start organizing and purchasing what we still need. I'm so ready for November to have this little guy in my arms and out of my belly.
I bought a pack n' play, some more clothes and some just in case items--pacifiers, a set of bibs. I held off on diapers and formula though. The JC Penny inside my local mall was having a huge sale and I sort of went a bit nuts. There was also a Sephora in that mall so I treated myself just a bit. Makes me feel normal again to do the things I used to do when I had not a care in the world. Moving into my new apartment in a few weeks---it's totally crappy but it has a spare room of sorts I can make into a nursery and then I will inspect what else I could throw together for a nursery. Just a few more things to sort out, namely carseats. It confuses the hell out of me how there can be a thirty dollar and a three hundred dollar carseat in the same store. And of course getting an actual car but you know, one step at a time.
Slowly but surely getting it together, as I am sure we all will.
8 weeks.
I just ... I don't know, I can't figure this out. Both my husband and I work full time and together we still don't make as much money as you seem to be making being a part time nanny and going to school. Even with a double income I would still have to save up to purchase several of the items you've been able to just go out and buy. Can I have your magical nanny job please, because being a florist sure isn't cutting it.
I had my moment today. My cousin hung out with me, she has a three month old. Looking thru my rear mirror saw two car seats. Omg I'm asking myself can I do this.. Im so scared to be mom to Irish twins..

And @thegingeravenger I agree with you. Could we have at least one post that doesn't somehow start to revolve around one in-particular poster!
