AW-ing my mom, whom I love. She's at the mall getting DH a birthday present, after which she's going to the grocery and wanted to know what she could pick up for us. After that she's coming to help me organize the nursery and get stuff moved, walking my dogs while I'm at my OB appointment, and staying around to help me cook dinner. I hate that her work hours have been cut, but love that her solution is to HELP CHRISTY WITH ALL THE THINGS!!!

@TallaB - you should watch the documentary "The Elephant in the Living Room" - it's on Netflix. It's about people keeping exotic animals as pets. I was raging and fuming after watching it. DH just walked out of the room when I put it on because he gets even more upset about it than I do haha.
Where is @glyncoco?? I need to know about the baby shower!
Didn't hers pass? I thought I remembered something about everyone having a good time mentioned in passing before she went on her usual colorful tirade.

Did I miss that?? Pics of the champagne shower? Or DH forbid her from sharing those too?

I have not seen her around in a while actually.

Soooo jealous!!!! I wish my mom was remotely helpful about this pregnancy. She just uses me and my unborn as a means of bragging. She's never offered anything that will truly benefit me and baby.
awwww.... I feel kinda bad for the skinny overachiever...ha! they sure ripped her a new one. Well good for her...2 weeks PP...I just hope I am still not oozing blood and in too much pain! Stories like this make my husband say, " see it can't be that bad, you can bounce right back!" and then I TP him.

Is it dumb that I'm a little bummy that less people are going to read/love-tit my birth story and pics since I'm due middle of the month? I have the feeling the first few will get a million love tits and it will dwindle from there since everybody will be too busy staring at their own squishies IRL. Sucks even more for the end of the month mamas - everybody deserves all the love tits!
For the first time in my life, I forgot to pay a bill. I have a list of bills every month and check them off as I pay them. How the eff did I forget to pay our water bill last month? No idea. It magically was listed and checked off on my list. Ugh. I blame pregnancy brain.
Of course we are trying to buy a new car and this will probably show up on our credit report. I have no idea if that's true.
Mmmm I am not sure one missed water bill payment will show up. Maybe? DH and I missed a car payment once and it didn't show up. I really think it is credit card companies that jump right away on the credit report. Eta but believe me I could be wrong!

I feel like a good love-tit gif would come in handy during several situations. However, image searching "love tit" isn't really returning my desired results.

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have been late on our electricity bill before and it never showed up. Just pay it now. Water companies are usually nicer than say credit card companies that make money off of charging you the highest interest rate possible. Even if it does show up, one late payment isn't going to affect your credit score enough to make a big difference in interest rate.
@cgoldian I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. He was lucky to have a wonderful 9 years with you.
@mrscrcalli I don't have the hot flashes but I know that my body is warmer than usual. Usually in the winter, I have multiple layers on and am still shivering. Now I can get by with one layer and am completely comfortable. It's nice!

Sticky idea: a poll that asks "am I in labor?" with yes/no votes. Then when you are wondering if you are in labor, you open the poll and whichever is winning is the answer! Whatever you do, DO NOT CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!!

By mid month all of the beginning of the monthers will be in need of a hobby while nursing (ahem, bumping) and the end of the monthers will still be giving generous amounts of love tits. There will be enough tits to go around.

Thanks, I will look into it! Not because I enjoy watching animals be tortured...but it reminds me why I hate people
I just feel so dumb. I got the bill for this month and was stunned that it was double! I am usually super organized, but I am scatterbrained lately. Our water is through our city, so they probably are not too quick to report late payments (they may not even report if the matter is resolved quickly for all I know!).
As someone who notoriously forgets to pay her bills, you are fine. My water/city bill is the only bill I don't have on autopay because its not offered, so I usually get a 'shut off' notice every 3 or so months and then i'm like "crap!". Its never gone to collections, never shown up on my credit. We just bought a car a few months ago, and my credit score is great. You should be fine!
Oh. My. Goodness. Other chick in the office just had her baby last week and sent us photos... Including one with baby surrounded by a huge, fluffy blanket in his crib.
I... I just....
There's a difference between mommy wars and "hey... Just want your kid to survive until age 1..." Right?!

Just got an outlook invite from my boss to a meeting on my due date. It felt good to respond "maybe"!! As a FTM I doubt I'll go that day so I figured I might as well keep it on there, but so exciting to finally be getting close enough to do that!
Even more bonus points to the fact that this is a meeting I'd rather not go to!

Ugh...it's so hard to stay seated for too long....LO keeps moving like crazy and at times I have to stand up and walk around. (On the bright side, baby is good and healthy)
TMI, but S/O embarrassing calls to your Doctor...I totally just remembered that about 2 weeks after having DS1, I wiped after going pee and there were a bunch of small pieces on the toilet paper that seriously resembled mangled spider legs. I saved the TP and showed it to DH (which totally grossed him out) and as completely crazy as it seemed at the time, I was legitimately freaked out that a spider had crawled up my vag (since it was pretty much an open cave) and died in there. I totally emailed pics to my OB to which she replied, "um, not a spider, but those are your stitches." Apparently they hadn't dissolved like I thought. So, if you're worried pp that a spider died in your vag, probably not the case

LOL, that's hilarious. OB's must get all sorts of awesome photos and questions!
