Let's hear 'em, ladies!!
"A new baby is like the beginning of all things--wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities."
This discussion has been closed.
Re: FFFC
We went out to dinner last night, and a woman at a table next to us was reading out loud from a book to her maybe ten year-old daughter. It got suuuper annoying pretty quickly. Their food came; she kept reading. Our food came; she kept reading. Everyone around them was kind of whispering and giving them dirty looks. So I got up to go to the bathroom and asked our waitress if she could tell them to knock it off. When I got back from the bathroom, the little girl was reading the book to herself, thank God!!
I may have ruined a mother-daughter moment or something, but seriously...

I have a funeral to go to today, and I'm bringing DD. I DON'T like babies at funerals. I just personally think its wrong. But, some family can't make it so I'm 'representing' our side. Sigh.
We had a funeral to attend on DHs side about two months ago, and we had DD with us. I made it clear to DH that I would sit further towards the back, and would not be going up front With DD (I didn't know this family member so I didn't feel bad). Buuutt apparently MIL had other plans, she came over to me and asked if she could introduce DD to some family, and took her right up front. Not cool. A funeral isn't a place to parade your granddaughter around, it's not about the attention on you MIL. She quickly got crabby, so we didn't stay long... I may or may not have kept her up from her nap, and may or may not have waited to feed her so she would be crabby

OMGee I went to a wedding mixer the other night, and a really good desSert place catered... They had these itty bitty two bite (or one! Lol) cup cakes that were fabulous! I had the raspberry ones... Cupcake, frosting, all raspberry with a big, fat, juicy raspberry on top. Hey, I was getting my fruit! Seriously they were about the size of the cupcake... It was fantastic. Amazing really.
Sorry, I'm probably not helping you any. It's Friday- do it! Start your weekend off right!

This might be more like a Freaky Friday Confession, but I cannot bring myself to get rid of my positive HPTs. I couldn't believe I was pregnant, so I have nearly 2 weeks worth of tests between Internet cheapies and some First Response tests.
I'm not even planning on doing anything with them because I really do think that objects I peed on are pretty nasty to keep around, but I'm having an awful time tossing them! So for now I just have them lined up under my sink like some kind of gross pregnant lady hoarder...

My Blog:
I still have mine too! I don't want to get rid of them, but honestly does anyone save theirs forever???
My confession is that I'm planning on DH sleeping on the couch tonight. All Night Long (he just doesn't know it yet).
Within the last month he has started to snore, and he never used to do it! I got pretty much no sleep last night because of it, and I'm exhausted.
He will not be happy, but I really just need some rest.
This made me laugh because my MOTHER still has the positive HPTs from myself and my two brothers. I'm planning on keeping mine too
I'm shopping for maternity jeans today. I'm only 9 weeks today and just tired of being uncomfortable and looking like a bag lady. At least I'll have some jeans that fit now!
This literally made me LOL! DH and I took forever to decide what to do with them. Finally, we decided having pictures of them was enough haha!
Thanks ladies...I really needed to read these...some of them made me actually laugh out loud and I needed that today!
I really don't have much to add except I'm totally avoiding doing the dishes from LAST NIGHT. I'm so lazy and I hate doing them.
I will add mine to yours
I have about 14 ICs taped to an envelope with each dpo written by it. I threw it away after our last u/s but dug it out about an hour later. Maybe after the next appt....

I hope this is me soon. I've been like a monk thus far and it is lame.
I sent DH the AAP recommendations for TV and child development just to prove how crazy his SIL is for purchasing a TV for their soon-to-be 2 y/o's room so she can watch whatever she wants elsewhere. (Oh, and did I mention the TV is 50-some inches?! And they live with her parents with their 2 kids?)
Yep. That's me. Judging parents before I'm a parent. (Well, not most parents. Just her.)

I am so upset with one of my best girlfriends right now & for the most ridiculous reason... I actually almost started crying over this
DH and I are going out with her and her H for dinner tonight. I suggested we go out and had a restaurant in mind (I'm craving a nice fresh pasta dish like nobody's business.. something with a white wine sauce).. OK, so she's not down with the place and wants to go somewhere more casual.. no biggie.. I research places and find something perfect.. a place that has casual and not-so-casual menu items... and most importantly, they have the pasta options I'm craving. So I text her with that.. nope.. she's being difficult. She wants Sushi / Thai, which my H doesn't even like. Trying to come to an agreement here.
My craving is so bad, I literally came very close to crying over this!! I feel so ridiculous & like I'm being a huge baby over where to go for dinner.. and food in general lately.
I have received a full time job offer at my Bro-in-law's business. It is a job I have really wanted for a long time but they just couldn't afford another full timer and now that someone has quit, in comes me! I am really excited about it because:
1. I hate my job that I have now. I don't do anything remotely close to the things I was hired to do. I am in the office by myself most of the time just trying to find something to do because boss man didn't leave me anything to work on.
2. My current job is an hour drive, the new one is 15 mintues!!
3. I will be working with my sister everyday!!!!
4. I will be making tons more money.
5. And the biggie- on more than one occasion my boss was unable to pay me because he didn't have any money to! I have also had to go a couple of weeks without working because he informed me ahead of time that he would not be able to pay me for any work!
So the confession? Since my boss had quite a bit of money and he knows he has put me in a bind by not paying me, he gave me a pretty large advance to tide me over for a few weeks. This would allow for me to just deduct my weeks earnings out of the advance. I have finally almost paid it all off and should have it all worked off by next Friday. I haven't been able to tell boss man that once I work it all off I won't be coming back (I am a contract employee, so technically a notice isn't necessary). He is never in the office for more than 5 minutes at a time and he is always in a hurry so I haven't gotten to talk to him about it. I don't want to do it over the phone because he is always on the phone and always constantly switching between lines and I don't want to be put on hold during that awkward conversation. So I am seriously considering telling him via e-mail this weekend. I know that is probably not the most professional thing to do, but at this point I am so over it that I don't care. I am just ready to be at the new job and done with this place!
(Sorry this turned into a mini novel!)
I wish this for you too. It started sometime last week. I went from not wanting it at all to all. the. dang. time.

I bought some last week and I'm in heaven, I'm 9 weeks and a few days.
1. I've been lurking for weeks for no reason other than the fact that I have no blasted clue how to post on a message board. And I'm still not sure I'm doing it right. (The best part? I lead an IT task force at work.)
2. My boss keeps complimenting me on my active, visible managerial style. Truth is, I'm only walking around and checking in with people so I can disperse my nasty pregnancy farts in different areas to maintain my anonymity.
I don't want to go to a friend's baby shower tomorrow, but I feel like I have to, even though she never came to mine for DD. I'm highly thinking of skipping it.
I went with my mom and grandma to a salon owned by great friends that I grew up with, I didn't want to see them, so I went to the department store next door. DD started acting up and the car was locked and my momma had the keys. So, I had to go in and put on a fake smile for them today.
I had a pint of Ben & Jerry's last night- ate the whole thing.
This is exciting. I hope I'm the same way. I haaate the lack of drive I've had lately.
I hope I find some decent ones soon! I went out today and it was a total bust, I'm pretty short and usually have trouble finding jeans anyway. I did snag a Bella band though, so hopefully that helps a lot.
I found my "short jeans" at motherhood. Gap Maternity also has them.

It was fun! And no, your not an idiot!! I work for a wedding photographer... All the wedding vendors (DJs, caterers, photographers... Anything wedding related) got together to hang out. We met up at a local lounge, it was the first one and turned out really nice
Hopefully it will become a few times a year deal...

Hello BFP #2 11/12/12, EDD 7/26/13
Oh, good! Thanks
WOW! I totally agree, it is soo not the place to parade her around. I am really scared that my MIL will do something like this.
I am also scared that once we tell my SIL, she is going to blab her BIG mouth all over our small town, without letting us tell anyone! This is our first baby, and I may be just more sensitive, but I want the attention of telling people, NOT her! When she got pregnant, her brother ( my DH), was the LAST person to find out! Soo, I don't even want to tell her! Is that bad?
Sorry for the long rant, it's just she is 41 and she still has not grown up. Also, if she tells my DH's ex about our pregnancy, I think I will snap!!!
