Re: FFFC
Me too! I'm a sucker for a good infomercial and I totally fall for what they're selling every. single. time.
My H bought me the Edge of Glory as a gag Christmas gift. I plan to sharpen a credit card and use it to slice tomatoes for our pizza tonight.

That sounds like a delicious tradition! We usually buy Lindt and Ritter Sport chocolates for Christmastime. It's not super fancy but it's so much better than Hershey's.
I'm not knocking Hershey's, I'll eat most chocolate. I think I have a problem.
I just...I can't even...I love Hershey's!!!!!!
I knew there was a difference but don't understand why some people get SO worked up over separating the two. I mean, ideally, don't you want for your child to associate with the sex/gender that they are born with? Say you have a girl, in a perfect world, don't you want your child to see herself as being truly a girl? Of course you want your child to be happy and want to accept them regardless of what gender they choose in the end, but you also want your child to live a happy, drama-free as possible life and there's a lot of hardships that come with choosing the opposite gender than the one you were born with.
Andplusalso, I would say that someone choosing the gender that they were not born with is the exception, not the rule. So most people who say that they found out the gender at the ultrasound would be correct.
All of this. Thank you for saying exactly what was on my mind.Married DH 7/30/11

I live 45 minutes from the Hershey's factory. Free chocolate at Chocolate World!
Me too!!!!!
My boss is away on holidays still so I am breaking my own rule and bumping at work. Seems like there is too much fun to stay away. My work doesnt know I'm pregnant, so this is taking a real chance.
@sempre_staccato my husband and his family are 100% dutch and we get chocolate letters too! I actually didn't even know this was a dutch thing and just thought it was something nice his grandma does until I saw your post! Very cool. I'm hoping his genes will give me a blue eyed red head (my mom has red hair and blue eyes and he has blue eyes and a bright red beard).

Had no idea it was a Dutch thing! Love being Dutch - the treats and the chocolate are amazing.
And now I want toast with chocolate sprinkles.
@JNerd- chocolate sprinkles on toast? Is this a dutch thing! His grandparents are always having chocolate sprinkle sandwiches!
@sempre_staccato I haven't heard of the other Christmas traditions! I will have to look into them for next year. Both sets of his grandparents moved to Canada when they were teenagers so his whole family has been in Canada for many years.
It is awesome that you felt strong enough to get some help - that is the best thing you could have done for yourself and for baby. By taking those actions you are showing that you are going to be a great mother - because you care.
So this one has been eating at me for a bit--been hoping it would go away. But I feel like I'm not into my pregnancy as much as so many other people are. Don't get me wrong--this was definitely wanted and planned for the past several years, and we spent the better part of last year doing IF treatments before getting a BFP. But it seems like when I talk to people about my pregnancy, they're all so much more excited than I feel. Maybe it's the lingering MS and general discomfort, but I'm just not getting into that over-the-top baby crazy mode. Hoping that the a/s and feeling the babies move (still haven't yet!) over the next few weeks will help flip the switch, but sometimes I feel a little left out. Damn, I'm a whiner!
On a lighter note, my co-workers put a full-sized snickers in my community candy dish, waiting to see who would take it. I grabbed that sucker while they were all away from their desks.
Now I'm eagerly anticipating the reaction when they notice it's gone.
I just saw your post after finishing mine--it looks like we're very much in the same boat. I actually went off my anti-depressant because the specific medicine I was taking has some evil withdrawal symptoms and I wanted it out of my system before the third trimester. But I've been wondering whether I should ask about something different just to help me get through the rough patch. Let's face it, feeling ill for months on end will make just about anyone miserable, without the added pressure of being expected to be ecstatic about it all.
I don't have any answers, but just wanted to let you know you're definitely not alone. Here's hoping things start looking up as we get ever closer to June!

I also really hope you are able to get the support you need to get you through. We are nearly half way there!

Omg!!! I was thinking the same thing yesterday!!!! Lmao
@Jnerd @yellowbird219 Thanks ladies for the words of encouragement! Sometimes it's just nice to be reminded that people don't expect you to be all sunshine and roses during this process. But as others have told me, it's all worth it in the end.

#4 Due 10/26/18!
I had a complete and total melt down last night. I have a 9 & 7 y/o that I can tell "hey is that where your dirty plate goes, no, go put it where it goes." " clean up you mess" and so on they do it. My DH (who was raised in a crazy over crowded house packed with junk and was a true blue redneck bachelor when we started dating) is worse than the kids! I clean clean clean clean to have to CLEAN up behind him. I had a melt down on him last night saying I had no clue how he expected me to be able to take care of the boys, twin newborns, and clean up after him AND work a 3rd shift job that requires 10+ hours a night 5-7 days a week here in a few months. Literally had both sinks full trash over flowing and his glasses sitting every where last night.
I don't mind cleaning right now, tho I am supposed to be resting as much as possible, the reason they took me out of work and put me on leave at 11.5 weeks.
These are his first babies, and first experience with a pregnant woman in his life and unfortunately we have a lot of bumps that we are having to ease over with this pregnancy and I don't think he seems to get it.
My DH is a good man loving and caring but I think he is just so used to the "not pregnant me" and still trying to break habits his mother allowed him to build that he is lost....
Love him with all my heart just really needed to rant and vent over it as stupid and silly as it may sound to everyone.
