I had to fight the urge to bite my husband's head off after I saw him helping himself to one of my bagels. Yes, they're MY bagels. He put himself on a diet of mostly protein and vegetables but a few times a week he'll have something he's "not supposed to". I didn't say anything to him because he gets touchy when I tell him he can't eat something or if I tell him a specific food item is mine. This stems from when I was on a diet and I ate specific things that I had portioned and bought JUST enough to last me until the next time I went to the store. So it would really mess me up if he ate something of mine. But this time he's not supposed to touch my bagels. Because they're bread. And because they're MINE.
Edited for spelling.

FFFC: Our announcement cards will probably reach family today in the mail. Which means phone calls or texts will roll in. I'm honestly going to ignore all calls. And answer only the texts that are a full blown congrats!!

But my real FFFC is that it's currently 9:19 and I'm still lying in bed. I'm so freaking tired all of the time and my insomnia is out of control! Come on, second tri.
If I got to your profile page and your discussions to replies ratio is more than like... 1/10... I totally peg you as someone who is mostly here to AW yourself and not really provide support to anyone else.
And you were probably added to my post-it.

FFFC - My husband is a nurse and works three, 12 hours shifts weekly. I understand that he is on his feet all day and it can be demanding. But he needs to get off his butt on three of the four days he is off to do stuff around the house. And no, I won't make a list of what he should do; he can clearly see the kitchen is a mess and I shouldn't have to tell him to clean it!
I never, ever cuss IRL. But I've noticed lately that my mouth sounds like a sailor and last night it all came rushing back to me that this same thing happened when I was pregnant before. It's like the nice, calm part of my brain turns off and I'm dropping f-bombs left and right. DH finds it hilarious.

I feel like this is going to happen again when this baby arrives. I feel guilty but I also feel like there is nothing I can do

So this is applicable though - neither of us had ever had dogs before. I had cats growing up and DH's mom is super-super-super clean and the most they ever had was a hermit crab. So because we had no prior "pet" experience, we had to go through some lengthy interviews with the shelter to make sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into. I expressed the same concerns you did and they told me that a in a lot of ways, it's easier to have two dogs than one. If you've got to take one out, you might as well take two out. When we're not around, they can play with each other and keep each other company. Together, they're kind of the perfect dog - one has a ferocious bark but the biggest scard-y cat when confronted. The other doesn't bark much but we now know from experience if she thinks that I (this theory has only been tested with me) am in danger, she would rip someone to shreds.
All in all, the pros of having two dogs far outweighs the cons (which, the only con to me would be the cost - two vet bills, two food bills, etc.). But even with the costs, we do get discounts places (like the kennel) because we have two and they prefer to stay together. The upfront costs at first were more - two crates, toys, bowls, etc. But it's definitely evened out over time.
We went from never having dogs in our lives to saying we will always only have two dogs.

"i dont care what they say, once i have kids i am not forgetting about my dog! he is my baby!" "i will never not have pets, i think it is important for kids to have pets in the home!"
our english bulldog is our most expensive/highest maintenance kid. i know a lot has to do with his breed. but i do not intend on getting another dog/pet after he goes for awhile. it is too much to keep up with. he is totally on the back burner of our lives, when he used to be the center. but it is adorable watching the kids with him.

He did so much better when I was pregnant the first time around. Ugh, I know I'll be better when I get out of the first trimester!

I'm probably going to get super flamed for this, but I want to rehome our dog because I don't feel like it's fair to her or myself that I just can't stand having a dog. She's also been super depressed this week since coming home from spreading the weekend with my ILs and their dog. She came from a home with another dog and even after almost two years with us, I feel like she needs another dog to play with, but there is no way in hell I will get a second dog.
@sjohns08 yes to all of the above! My attention span for dogs flew out the window the moment I got pregnant with DD. I was so busy with her as a NB that they were not let out as much as they used to be and ruined our carpet. I know, partially my fault, but it's like feed kid or walk dogs? I want so bad to rehome ours, at least our little one who has major anxiety. But DH keeps saying no.
