I won't and can't subscribe to the lysteria hysteria, either. I will eat the hell out of some cold cuts. I was super cautious with my first pregnancy, more lenient with the 2nd one, and with this one...eh. I think once the ick of the first trimester subsides, then I will go for sushi. Right now it sounds like absolute shit.
I have a hard time avoiding cold cuts and turkey lunch meat. Think about the most recent listeria outbreaks... Frozen veggies, salad, fresh fruit, ice cream.... It sucks but it's pretty unavoidable. Like everything, I think (non medical opinion) in moderation it's a-okay.

My husband hasn't had a home cooked meal in a month. I'm not much of a cook anyways, but oh man the poor guy. I barely clean either.
I haven't been cleaning much either! I made a short list to accomplish yesterday and thought if I got it done I'd treat myself to something yummy. Instead I only got about 1/2 done, took a nap, and still ate something yummy!
I'm so angry with DH. For the second time today he has been significantly late. The first time he told me he was taking the afternoon off to take me and the kids+nephew to the pool. Said he'd be home at 12. At 1:30 he came strolling in. Tonight he's doing 1:1 biblical mentoring, left at 7:30, put a movie in for the kids said he'd be home before it was over , 10 at the latest. 10:30 still not home. His iPhone broke and he's been too damn lazy to replace it/get it fixed.... Seriously just activate a burner phone dude. So I've been relying on him messaging me through work email or through others. I am fuming right now, trying not to be irrational. I know it's nothing nefarious, he's just careless sometimes and neglects my feelings. I had all 3 kids waiting in their swimsuits for over an hour earlier today. This isn't really a confession just a vent, I hate when he does this.

I realize it's Saturday, but ugh I'm so peeved. My parents retired last year and are snowbirds now. They leave MI for AZ around Oct. 1. They are upset that I'll give birth in Feb. I'm sorry, we tried for a year. This is how it played out. Sorry it's not convenient for you. And because it's the first grandchild, my mom wants to give me a shower 4 months before my due date because she doesn't want to to leave my dad for a few days in December for a shower (he has some health issues). I understand, but I'm so annoyed. I don't have a registry yet. I don't know what I even want to put on a registry this early. It feels so tacky and gift-grabby to me. I'm still cleaning out the "things I don't know what to do with" room that will be the nursery. I know I should be thrilled that someone wants to throw me a shower, and I truly am happy they want to, but I am tired of feeling like the timing of this pregnancy is bad.
@purplewriter, my parents snow bird too, but since this was a complete surprise, we obviously didn't shoot for February. My twins were due in May, and that winter I think we were in labor and delivery 3 times by the end of February so they gave up and came home early. I have no idea how it will go this time!

@Partyof6? My parents plan to come visit around the time of the birth, but since that's so broad, I have no idea what the plan is. Thankfully, it's a ways away. My ILs live in another state too. They plan on coming to visit too, but who knows when. Everyone has already been informed they must stay in a hotel. Not sure how this will all play out. I'm sure I'll vent again about it!

Bright side of it all is they have their own house and don't have to stay with you.
My husband travels for work. He loves seeing new cities and always posts tagged photos to social media. This makes me feel unsafe because to me, it's like advertising that I'm home alone with our small kids. Each time it happens, I explain this (we've talked 3-4 times about this). I just ask him to latergram when he gets back.
He did it again yesterday and I flipped my shit.
Am I overreacting? I feel like this is common sense/reasonable, and I'm resentful that I have to explain this to a grown-ass man.
Not overreacting!!! This sounds really unsafe to me!
