@vflux33 Your post was definitely one of the ones that I related to so much. I don't get the emotional dependence either. So weird. @crossfitbabybump Yes, absolutely! I promise!
@skppks We should definitely check in with each other as March approaches. When are you planning on telling your MIL? I convinced MH to hold off until genetic testing is done (we already told close friends and my immediate family). I don't think I can push it off longer than that though.
@gh515 I hear about zella allll the time so you have just finally gave me the push to buy them! I love love love lulu align "naked" pant but don't want to pay $100 yo stretch them out over the next 9 months!
@vflux33 My DH and I discussed who would Ben supportive to us should something happen, and I expressed my concern in telling his mom and he agreed. I ultimately left it up to him, and he decided he wanted to tell her after the first trimester, so probably in about 2 weeks. Let's definitely keep in touch on the subject as things progress and the conversations happen. Some support in how to react to certain things would surely be helpful!
All of you ladies who have issues with your MIL really make me feel better about my feelings towards mine. She lives by herself and is quite needy when it comes to DH. When we told her we were getting married, she cried and told me how hard it will be to adjust to the fact that her son had another important female in his life. When we bought our house she cried because we are an extra 30 minutes away. We haven't even told her that we are expecting because neither of us is really looking forward to her anticipated reaction. Everything that happens is made about her and how her life is going to be impacted. Sorry for the dear diary post, but just wanted to express how grateful I am to hear so many similar concerns and sentiments about other MILs.
@skppks@vflux33 and anyone else with MIL issues... let's promise each other if we have boys... that we won't be like that towards our sons. Unless his wife/gf is a crazy nut job. But let's just keep it real. I don't want to be anything like my MIL!
THIS!
My SO and I are not even married yet (proposal BETTER be soon, lol) and I can already see his mother getting a little more involved in our life/relationship than we both feel comfortable with. It's tricky because she has a very sweet spirit but then she there is this other part of her personality that peaks out from time to time... She's just so overbearing at times!
If I have a son, I pray that I am able to mind my own business and not develop an unhealthy relationship with him
I unpacked my maternity box today. I forgot that I have a maternity swimsuit! YES. Best day. I'm quickly getting uncomfortable in mine.
Yes!! Ok, like 2 weeks before I realized I was pg, I got out my box to look through thinking I'd give some stuff away. Yup, maternity bathing suit I wore probably 7 times last time? But I was suuuper pregnant then. I'll try it on, but thinking it may be too big before swimsuit season is over here (maybe another 3 weeks?) But also, thankful I never did give stuff away.

Can i just say I am SO HAPPY that it's the weekend! As a retail manager...I never get weekends off- but I do this week. looking forward to two days off in a row at home with my DH. Hopefully I can find the energy and we can get out of the house and do something fun for a bit. My bedroom has become my sanctuary - I feel like unless I'm at work...I never leave it
We have a king size bed. I guess we were sleeping very far apart last night and DH was trying to reach over and check if I was there?? So his arm was flailing around, hitting the bed?? Woke me up. Thought it was a kid. I had to yell at him to quit. Maybe a bad dream?? I dunno. Got on my nerves. Sleep is precious right now, don't wake me up!!!

I fibbed and said I didn't feel well to get out of my 5k. Then they cancelled it due to weather anyway. :-/
I just found out DH spilled the beans to his mom. We haven't told anyone yet. He swears she's not telling anyone. Ugh. I'm annoyed. We were trying to wait until after my appointment on the 22nd. And my parents invited themselves over next weekend, so we may just tell them then. I guess a few days early isn't a huge deal.

I recently started a second part-time job as a pharmacist for a large community chain. I didn't want to work for this chain, but they bought the little mom-and-pop pharmacy I used to work for. I have my first solo shift working as a pharmacist for them next Saturday from 10am-9pm. The store is an hour from my house. Also, I only have a technician until 5pm, so I'll be working the last 4 hours completely alone (including having to do the drive-through). I'm so nervous and dreading it so bad that it is already ruining THIS weekend, which sucks. I can't seem to break my bad mood. DH isn't helpful at all and just keeps saying "well quit if you're that miserable" but then in the next breath tells me we how we need the money.

WTF? Not just one, but two people asked me if I am pregnant today. I am definitely not showing baby at not even 10 weeks, so I guess I am just fatter. Oh well!
@DDRRT1982 maybe it's your glow? Seriously though, how rude. People should know that is something you NEVER ask unless it is so blatantly obvious (and even then, proceed with caution--what if the poor woman just had the baby and needed to lose the weight?!? Not that I'm speaking from experience or anything....)

And I'm probably forgetting something. We aren't even halfway yet. Save me.
mdfarmchick Politics, cars, drugs, and natural disasters. YIKES! I am sure that the conversation might be fueled even more by the recent ongoings in Virginia.
May the force be with you. Lol. **raises fist in solidarity**
So i forgot to check the garden for like a week and... meet the 4+ lb zucchini. There was also a pretty big summer squash, but that wasn't nearly as impressive as this.

@mdfarmchick I peeled it and took out the spongy/seedy core. It is going to be chocolate zucchini cake/muffins. And I'm giving a few cups to my sister.

@becausescience why does this make me think of the eggplant emoji that kids try to use on their Kahoot names? Kids these days and their eggplant emojis and giant zucchinis...
My random of the day is that the sex of this baby is just hanging out on my patient portal account and I could totally look, but I'm doing well waiting to find out with DH and the kids. I can't believe it!
I'm refreshing my email constantly because my photographer said she'd send our announcement pics to us today. Odds are good I won't get them until late tonight, so I could really make better use of this time...
