@annabenanna... what are you trying to do? I work in excel constantly
It's a quote template for work. We recently got our logo and website redone and so want to get rid of our Word templates (that look so ancient) and use excel instead for our quotes.... so it's kinda complex, would HATE to bother you with it because I feel like it's so tedious!
@Kaessi - OMG my MIL does the same thing. And she'll ask me repeatedly where we've registered. I want to scream "HAVE YOU HEARD OF GOOGLE?!?!?!?!?!" and I've told her multiple times: Amazon, BRU, Target. The invitation her friends sent for my shower had scribbled down at the bottom "Registered at Amazon." Ummmm so I had to go and add a bunch of stuff there so I would actually have a chance of getting what I need.
Furthermore, this is totally petty and I feel bad. She'll ask what we need. And I'll tell her "the expensive items from our registry: the stroller, car seat, especially the rocker/recliner I really want". Her response? "I like to buy the fun stuff. I'll see if my friends want to split something expensive." I have no idea what that means but was SOOOO irritated I had to walk away. I heard DH tell her that my parents bought the crib and are starting a trust fund so it would really be helpful if she could buy one of the big items on the registry. We'll see...

Ugh, yes with registry stuff! It was the same with our wedding registry last year. People wanna go off the grid, which... okay, sure, I don't wanna dictate what gift you give me. But the registry is there because those are things we need/needed, and wouldn't you rather get us a gift we need than a gift I'm gonna fake smile about and return/throw in the trash?
We didn't need your re-gifted, ugly-ass, clear glass Christmas tree platter, Auntie! But yeah... no one got us the cooking tongs we needed, so my DH legit asked for them for his birthday from my sister, which she thought was hilarious and made a big show of coming over with a birthday present of tongs.
Also, re: moronic husbands... I love my husband to death but sometimes I just wanna clock him upside the head with a toaster. He likes to do the waiting game a lot, where I'll ask him to do something for me, he'll say "sure," and then 20 minutes later it's still not done, so I get up and do it, and he's all huffy "I was gonna do it. You didn't say you wanted it done right this very exact second."
And he says things that are so bad sometimes I just have to laugh at him. I mentioned the other day that my feet were hurting and I think my ankles were swelling and he feels one and goes "Oh yeah, that's pretty meaty. Definitely getting fat ankles."
It's Friday, I don't wanna work, and I need some eye candy. So I started researching/pinning/planning and found some amazing Fall Birth Announcements and some awesome Christmas Cards (yes, i'm a sucker for all things paper and printed).

Buttface.
DH is the same way. I'm like you can actually PAUSE the TV now. So f-ing do it. He has to collect trash from all the rooms on Mondays. He was heading up to take a shower and I told him to take a trash bag so he could get the upstairs trash on his way up or down. He said "nah, I'll just do it later..." That irritates me to no end. Seriously? Do it in one trip. And now.

OMG @annabenanna That's exactly what I needed right now... Thank you for that amazingly adorable baby fix.
and @Kaessi - I would have replied, "I need a bassinet, a swing, a high chair and a tub, because apparently your son doesn't want to buy those for our baby - he doesn't think they're necessary." (we're pregnant, we're allowed to be snarky at this point, right??)
I just saw your breast massage dream post. LMAO! I love a good boob massage but DH has hands that could tear a phone book in half so I take care of the massaging myself.
Tdap - I got one 3 years ago while pg with DS. I asked my MWs about getting another one for this kid and one said no, you're fine and the other one kind of hummed and hawed and didn't give a straight answer. I'm pretty pro-vaccine but I'm anti-intervention during pregnancy unless it's really warranted. Not sure where to go with this one.
I decided to splurge and get the 4d ultrasound this sunday while DH is on a work trip. DH is going to Orlando for 2 nights (sun and mon) and it's gonna be his last work trip till the baby gets here. This is gonna be my last 2 nights of ALONE TIME TO MYSELF before the baby comes. Holy crap. I don't know how I feel about that. I will never be alone again for a long long loooooong time. And I value my alone time and love it.
I may plan a super pampering Sunday (pilates, ultrasound then a prenatal massage?) and binge watching "Stranger Things" on the couch on Monday night complete with face mask, and hair mask..... Only thing missing would be wine.
Monogamy - Anthropology arguments aside, I believe in monogamy. Always have. If H or I can't abide by that, then we don't need to be together.
Soul mates is a harder concept for me. I believe that certain people were meant to be together, but it doesn't always have to be romantically. I fully believe my best friend and I are soul mates because of our relationship, but it's not a romantic relationship. Sometimes the relationship turns out romantic, sometimes not.
6:30 am on a Saturday. DH and DFB (Dear Fur Baby) are already back from their jog and making noise. I am lying in my bed, sweating (which is clearly going to remain my homeostatic state for the next 7 weeks), trying to go back to sleep because I'm soooo tired, but all I can think about is breakfast. I am NOT a morning person, especially on a Saturday, so I hope for DH's sake that all that noise is him doing something productive... Although thanks to @annabenanna now I just want to look at Christmas card ideas - you may have saved my marriage ETA: he came in at 7:15 asking how long I needed to be ready to go grocery shopping. If I'm MIA for a few days it may be because they found the body...
@turtlemomma I agree about the soulmates. my husband is the only person I could ever see myself being married to and being the father of my children, but my ex and I are best friends and it's a far better situation than when we dated. he and my husband are actually close and my husband is in his wedding..we are meant to be in each others lives, but God bless his fiancé for keeping him partner wise lol
@books&icecream Omg.. Has he lost his mind? Maybe he's in super nesting mode. Hopefully you got a few more hours of sleep in! I guess I'm lucky that my dh and I appreciate our sleep. I will admit that the baby wakes me up early already and I try to stay in bed quietly until about 9ish so dh can sleep a bit more.
@books&icecream... I'm sitting here at my dad's sailing waiting for my highlights to process and your post just made me LOL while sitting in the corner by myself. I'm pretty sure they all think I'm crazy now.
Okay, I'm having my first "omg, what did I just do?!" moment. DH and I are out on the pontoon boat for the day and he and some friends were begging me to get in the water. They all know I don't do water I can't see through, so they thought I wouldn't get in. Well, just to shock them, I decided to jump in. Now I'm freaking out because I didn't think about it hurting the baby until after I did it. She's moving, so I know she's okay for now, but after googling, I'm scared to death. Everything I've read has said it can cause infection or preterm labor because jumping in can force air or water into the vagina. I jumped from maybe 6-12 inches above the water line. Does anyone know any more about this? Am I being crazy and worrying for nothing???
@CopperBoom86 I would say if you didn't feel any air or water infiltrate your private parts, and as long as you wash up well afterwards you'll be A-Okay! I've gone to the lake several times and worried about the prospect of infection myself, but so far no issues, even after jumping in
@CopperBoom86 I think you'll be just fine! I wakesurfed behind out boat until the start of 3rd tri with both my babies in my belly and I didn't fall super hard but I had a few falls off my board into the water. No harm done!

The CDC recommends (along with American Academy of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Nurse Midwives) getting the TDAP in each pregnancy, regardless of when you last received it. The reasoning is, the baby will receive an extra shot (no pun intended) of antibodies if you get it during the third trimester, increasing their protection. Here's the link to the CDC recommendation, if you're interested: https://www.cdc.gov/features/tdap-in-pregnancy/
I almost passed out taking maternity pics. It was so hot. I was dropping in sweat. I finally walked away from FI and said "I feel sick" I had to lay down in the middle of this park while he ran to go get water. So glad it was towards the end of my shoot.
I know I'm late here, but I really think you're probably okay @CopperBoom86. I'm so sorry you're feeling this way though! I know you must be so stressed. I would think of this like some of the other things like those acid treatment things you can do on your face for acne. You'd basically have to have extreme circumstances to have it really affect the baby. I'm sure this is similar and they're referencing jumps into the water from high ledges... And I bet, even then, you're more likely to be okay than cause an issue. Hugs and don't stress yourself too much!
Oh no, @mizzkbrat! Hope you got some good ones before it got too hot! Glad your FI was there to save the day!
@copperboom86 I'm with the other ladies- I'm thinking one time from not so high is probably okay, especially since she's been moving. Can you check in with the nurses line to ease your mind?
@bnsmith85 Hope your back held out for your shower today! Can't wait to hear about it later
I just spent the entire night with a bunch of drunk friends on a party bus, complete with goldfish fights and ridiculous dancing. How I made it this late I have no idea. Time for bed!!!! (If DH would stop drunk snoring....)

Went to a Mariners game last night (baseball) and it was Star Wars night and it was awesome! They even played Return of the Jedi on the jumbo screen after the game. The only down side was that all that sitting made my feet and legs swell way up and we didn't get to bed till nearly 1am. Oh, and I had to get up for work at 6:30. Doh.
I just left my first ever snarky comment about the lady with her special snowflake post about maternity leave. I actually left a big response in the general maternity thread, she either didn't bother to look or decided she didn't like what I had to say and started her own post. Not how it works here lady. Anyone else tired of the randoms coming out of the closet? Perhaps it's my sore body making me less tolerant of dip sh!t's!

@ibabyloveb87, picking out Christmas cards is my favorite thing to do!
@OrangeEv, yes, it'll come up before we know it!
Yes to TDAP. I'm a vaccine freak and won't allow DD around children that aren't.
Men are morons and useless. Especially around anything baby. I'm shocked my husband is alive still.
I already started researching announcements/holiday cards. We usually go with funny for holiday. This was last year's gem. Haha.
