I just realized what BTDT was while reading a thread yesterday. It dawned on me epiphany style. I had figured out the meaning of it, but couldn't for the life of me decipher what the acronym actually stood for and didn't care enough to google.
Mine....so, last night my MIL told DH and I that his uncles are planning a big party here for his grandmother. She'll be 90 on 12/11, and they want to have a big celebration for their mother. That's all fine and dandy, but her birthday is the day before my due date.
I know my DH harbors some significant resentment toward his grandmother for some things she did/didn't do after I lost my job a few years back. That makes me sad, but I know he's been trying to get over it.
That said, I was so proud of him when he told his mom last night that if I was in labor or in the hospital, he absolutely would not be there no matter what anyone else said. He told her that his wife and son come first, and if I was having or just had the baby they could just forget it. It really gave me the warm fuzzies that he was so adamant about being there for us when we have our first child, even though there's a real good chance he'll get a lot of grief from his family for not being there.
I made a fuss about diaper bags to my mum because I knew she'd offer to give me her big coach bag I've had my eye on for a few years. She did give it to me and I've already started using it.
Hubs brought home Dunkin Donuts for breakfast on his way home from work and I had to take the egg out of my egg, cheese and bacon croissant sandwich. Eww.eggs.

I had to do this same thing WITH the same thing for my husband this morning! He says it's a texture issue.
My FFFC: I have had my "I'm totally livid with everyone on the planet" face on all morning with no apologies.
Explanation as to why: So my Twatwaffle Tuesday was about how the doctors office didn't care about my uti. I had yet to hear back my results (after multiple calls) by my appt this morning. Long story short: I have a uti and meds were called in tuesday. No one thought to tell me, the patient, that. Then I run to DD and was pulled to the side to wait on food for about 10 minutes. As I'm leaving, I pass the same UPS driver who couldn't follow road signs and address numbers for me to get my packages on time the other day. I pay for Amazon Prime for a reason.
Now that I have complained and vented... I guess I can smile and enjoy the rest of this LOVELY Friday.
My FFFC... I'm more having a "I'm annoyed with everything and everyone, but I have to keep up a nice, patient front because everyone else are sensitive, fragile snowflakes who freak out at every little thing" day.
I'm trying to be proactive and finish up a really important exhibit plan draft that needs to go to the client on Wednesday and still needs peer reviewed by like three different people, but the folks in a different department are dragging their heels on getting me the information I need for it. On top of that, I'm completely overwhelmed with house organization issues (we have no room for baby) and my DH lacks any motivation to address it, AND I really really really am not feeling going to my MIL's for a Halloween party tomorrow where it is always too crowded and hectic anyway, with a bunch of people and kids I don't know, and the food is hit or miss, but this year I'll also have to constantly field pregnancy-related comments and questions.
And I really really really want a glass of wine. And sushi. or a big old plate of gnocchi (which I totally could eat, but I'm too lazy to make it).
Today is movie day in my classroom. I will be sitting at my desk enjoying my one cup of coffee and pretending I don't have hours of paperwork, reports, and IPE's to fill out for the end of the month.
I enjoyed a small glass of red wine on Sunday for my DH & I's 1-year anniversary. It was so damn good. Made me realize just how "juicy" the NA wines are.
I'm not sure if this counts, but I decided to phone it in on Halloween this year! I also thought about not participating at all. I usually enjoy handing out candy. I love seeing the little ones dressed up!
Last year we only had 6 kids (I blame Trunk or Treating) and thought why put a ton of effort into decorating. We will carve pumpkins as its a tradition for hubby and I, and I decorated our mail box, and just bought some pumpkin tree ornaments so I will throw those in the trees in my yard!
I'm also hoping that we only get 6 kids this year so that I can eat the candy we bought!
I really didn't want to teach this morning. I'm kind of tired and I'm feeling pretty done with the semester. I barely prepped my lecture and was just going to make my students do most of the talking.
Lo and behold only 5 of 15 students showed up this morning (there was a football game last night and apparently one of the bars had a costume contest). So I gave the 5 that showed up some extra credit, we watched some video about Old Gregg from BBC because one of the students was dressed up, and then I let them leave.
I'm secretly thanking the other 10 students for not showing up today.
I've been really good about avoiding all this Halloween candy due to gd. Today there are buckets of candy all around the office- left over from the meeting I skipped yesterday so that I wouldn't be tempted. I stopped and grabbed three mini kit kats and have already eaten two. I'm hoping if I scarf them now, it'll be out of my system by the time I test after lunch. sorry baby, please don't grow huge from this sugar splurge!!
I left work at 12:30 today. I have worked 50 hours already, and I have a terrible cold, but I still feel the need to "confess" this because I would never do this if I wasn't pregnant.
Also I will now be putting the ingredients for muddy buddies on my grocery list for tomorrow.

Phew. Rant over. Thanks for that.
Feelin you on that glass of wine girl! Been having some stress with Dr.s office not returning calls and conflicting info from insurance and such. Winding down with a glass of something would be sooo nice.
I know all babies are precious and I haven't met one I hadn't loved, because I enjoy babies. But, I don't think they are all super cute and adorable. For example a friend of mine had a baby who is now 4 years old and she was born looking like a grown woman. It honestly gave me the creeps. She's a beautiful child and looks no different than she did when she was born, guess she had to grow into her looks.
I had the most awesome dream of getting drunk on delicious cocktails with my girlfriends. It was so real. I felt the alcohol running thru my veins. Does it make me sound like an alcoholic? Lol! I'm not! Im just from New Orleans. I asked my SO for a bottle of Taittinger champagne to be had at the post Partum/ recovery room. I'm totally serious too. Just a glass people.
I'm anxiously waiting for November 1st...so I can buy 50% off Halloween candy!!
I'm anxious for November 1st so I can buy all my Halloween decorations!
I was at the grocery store today, and there was almost zero Halloween candy! It was all Christmas candy, and definitely not on sale. I was very sad about that.
