in 2nd Trimester

I think I went a little crazy signing up for things that promised to be free lol. I get tons of baby-related emails and yesterday I started getting phone calls! Yikes, my husband is going to love that one, whoops.

Couponing gone wild I guess. Is this what happens to us pregos when we stop going to the bars??? haha

    I did the same with my name and email address (no phone number or address) as soon as we got pregnant... But I've gotten things in the mail, and it's gotten a little crazy.

    I don't mind the 6 big things of formula and free diaper coupons I recieved, or the other productive things I can use, it's the Maxim, condom samples, and other nasty free magazine trials and crap that are now coming to my house in my name.

    Maxim? Seriously? What am I going to do with that? Give it to my husband so I can feel even better about my current figure? And condoms, really? I'm pregnant already, I think those are coming a little late! I don't get it!

    I called and tried to take my name off some of the lists, and they did say that they aren't sure how many "clients" my information was sold to... I learned my lesson! But yes, I think thats what happens when they take the fun out of things for us...

    Get this, my mom, without me knowing, signed me up to a bunch of websites, like 15 or so.  And this is way before I got pregnant!  Talk about hints.  She finally confessed to me, but I had already unsubscribed from everything.  Unfortunately that's not so easy to do with all the physical junk mail I get as well.  To get her back, I signed her up to receive countless emails from MLB, NFL, etc....haha.  She doesn't care for sports.

    I ended up with Enfamil and Similac... I have no idea where they came from because I didn't sign up for them! I get 2 different parenting magazines (that I didn't sign up for), and I'm assuming they sold my info to the formula companies, because I didn't start getting the formula until a month or two after I got the magazines. Just google free baby stuff and fill out the forms, and you'll get all sorts of fun things!

    When my mom was pregnant she got some formula samples bc the doctor gave her info out to the companies.
