@MommyP710‌ you and Max are adorable.

I saw that post on third tri, I nearly chimed in and then decided that based on her post, she will not listen to any of us who try to tell her that A, porn isn't a big deal and B, the issue with her marriage currently is the lack of trust/communication they obviously have.

Third tri offers endless entertainment. Maybe I'm just mean, but someone posted that they've been betrayed by their husband because she snooped and found that he had looked at porn. Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.

I read that one too. And then she got pissy when people didn't agree with her.

rainbowdashh · May 2014

I don't love porn, I'll be honest. But I know H looks at it. He's a visual person. It doesn't mean he's going to run off and cheat or that he's constantly thinking about other naked women. Obviously, it can become a problem. But it doesn't seem like her H had a problem. She has a problem. Saying she's been betrayed? Come on.

Pepper6 · May 2014

I read the porn thread too. Then I summarized it to DH and we both had a good laugh about it.

My FFFC based on that is that I can understand porn just not being your thing, but I absolutely do not understand people who consider it cheating (under normal circumstances). And definitely not to the extent that it leads you to believe that looking at porn makes you an addict who wants to bang everything in sight.

That porn post is nuts! I got through the first page last night and gave up...

The new maternity shorts I just bought at old navy don't have the size on the tag, they just say "hello pretty mama." Does this mean my ass is just so huge that they are scared I would have a breakdown if I saw the number? Hahahaha

I think I laughed too hard at this lol I love Old Navy's maternity clothes!

kbellizio3 · May 2014

The porn thread gave me a headache. I can understand her being upset especially if it was something they talked about prior to marriage, but she's in some major denial about other things. She's got some security and trust issues that she needs help figuring out.

elsa1688 · May 2014

Where is @MegK82‌ ?

cMichelle0423 · May 2014

@emilyh107‌ your LO almost looks like a doll with your oldest holding her! So precious!!

CJnKR2014 · May 2014

So I'm frustrated cuz I told DHs aunt that I didn't want anyone visiting on Wednesday cuz I want to be able to rest and to have time with the boys and DH alone (especially after a c section), and she went and told DHs grandma who we are living with) before i was able to discuss it with her. So grandma approaches me about it, and apparently that's not acceptable. Apparently it's not ok to make "everyone go with my schedule, what if people can't make it on Thursday?" Apparently I'm also not going to be in any pain after major abdominal surgery. And if my mom was here (she lives is CA and can't make it for the birth) she'd be allowed in that day so why can't everyone? And I'm expected to just roll over and let granny get whatever she wants. holy crap woman we are living with you, it's not like you'll never see them!!!

I discussed it with DH and he said that since I'm the one getting cut open to have them, I'm the one calling the shots on that. But after a little bit of discussion, i found out that he doesn't exactly agree with me, because

a) there is already tension between us and DHs family right now and this would just make it 10x worse and

b) his cousin had a c section and allowed people that day, and a friend of his allowed people in immediately after pushing her baby out.

He still said that I can have people wait if I want, but now I feel like I'm going to be pissing everyone off, and so I have told him to tell people that they can come on Wednesday. I feel bad that I'm rolling over and letting granna get her way, these are MY kids NOT hers, but at the same time it's not worth causing drama. Cuz I know if DH goes to her to let her know that he is backing me up its going to cause trouble in the house, and we can't afford to move just yet.

Very, very frustrated but backed into a corner. Ugh X( sorry for the length of the rant.

lest12 · May 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ - that is super annoying. Why is it SO difficult for people to give new moms space, especially in the hospital?

There has to be some kind of compromise. Or, let people come visit, and then have the nurses kick them out because they "need to check your incisions" or "time to breastfeed". That's kind of my plan. I told DH people can come visit, but the room is getting cleared whenever something medical is going on.

elsa1688 · May 2014

@CJnKR2014 stand your ground! Boundaries start now. These are your babies. If you want to wait until month from now, that's ok.

ricecakes1216 · May 2014

@CJnKR2014‌
Don't back down. You're the one going through this, not anyone else. Tell your nurse you don't want visitors and let them be the bad guy. You're in charge. I don't understand why people think it's ok to tell the mom what she needs to do. Um, no.

elsa1688 · May 2014

DF was pretty inconsiderate last night but we had big plans for our last weekend without a baby. I'm trying so hard not to be upset with him but it's really hard

katekat8721 · May 2014

@CJnKR2014‌ that's frustrating! It sounds like you may lose this battle, but definitely put restrictions on how it goes. Tell the nurses in recovery you just want it to be you and DH to bond and BF. When you get to your room don't call everyone right away because you'll want to settle in first. Once you have a good handle on things, let people visit (eye twitch) but then tell them right off the bat "I have to nurse in an hour" or "theyre going to check my vitals in an hour and I'll need privacy" so there is no confusion. You're in control.

Has anyone ever machine washed their snoogle? It says to spot clean but I'd like to really wash it, just don't want to ruin it.

Hey now, every super special snowflake's super special spawn deserves it's moment in the sun. I mean, why not post intimate details of your birth for all the people you don't know to read?

I take the cover off and wash just that. It doesn't hurt it! Not sure if you were wanting to wash the actual pillow part though...

Yep. Totally not a problem.

TunieBee · May 2014

Not sure where to post this random question...Do I need a designated changing table/area? I really don't have any room for one. What about just changing the baby on the bed, the sofa, etc? Is that going to get old very quickly? Thanks!

I mean, you aren't a part of community but then you have personal news to share with strangers and "WALA" - you can't help yourself!

I was so tempted to do a big ole FTFY. Seriously, that was awful.

elsa1688 · May 2014

@MegK82‌ I guess I just really missed you!

lest12 · May 2014

@MaddieRosie‌ - I got a changing pad to have wherever. No changing table/specific area, and the changing pad doesn't really have a home, either I'll end up with a place where I find it comfortable or it will roam around the house.

I have a couple of wicker baskets that I put wipes/diapers/ointment in, one upstairs, one downstairs, and I'm sure those will just find their own home as well.

I'm in this boat too. I had a couple of contractions today and got all excited that maybe something was happening! They stopped hours ago but I can't wait to meet my little love!!

I wonder who is going to have the first June baby!? How many ladies do we have in labor tonight?

I'm thinking it could be Babywear because she's ahead of us in time!

Yep wash and dry. Just use minimal detergent.

@MaddieRosie Awesome, thanks!!!

Um I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring for first June baby because I'm 99% sure my water just broke.

tbmadeamistake · June 2014

My ex just messaged me to say congrats on number two after seeing on a mutual friends wall that I was pregnant again, them asked if dh was pumped for his boy...first off, while sweet to say congrats, go away. There is a reason I unfriended you, and it has to with your ability to start reminiscing in a really inappropriate way really quickly, even after two kids of your own. Also, my husband oa happy with child who is willing to play outside with him, and his daughter is more than happy to do that, so this one being a boy has no bearing on how excited he is. Go away.

I was polite, bit now I might go out for ice cream for breakfast because I feel like I deserve it.

tbmadeamistake · June 2014

Sorry @MommyWaldron‌!

Ewww...that's so awkward! Especially if it's someone you were with for a while. Why even bother saying anything at all?

Super awkward and definitely deserving of ice cream for breakfast, @Lilygrace48‌ .

whoberry · June 2014

DH is coming home!!! I booked him a plane ticket for tomorrow. He's been halfway across the country taking care of MIL who is very sick in the hospital. MIL had her best day so far yesterday so I am really hoping that relieves some of the guilt I know he's feeling about leaving her. I just hope I can hold this baby in for at least 36-48 hours so he can come home and rest before he's born. Although I suspect I will end up going past my due date, but that's ok as long as DH is here and MIL is improving.

tbmadeamistake · June 2014

@mrsdbc‌ mine gets measured at every appointment. Currently I'm measuring about a week ahead.

mrscbrad · June 2014

@mrsdbc‌ My doc measures every time though she warned me that it doesn't mean much for me as my baby dropped and engaged about 2 weeks ago. Maybe you have dropped? I think the Doppler is really important though. Hearing his heartbeat is the only part I look forward to!

elsa1688 · June 2014

Knowing that I'm having a baby on Thursday is putting a weird pressure on this weekend - like I need to soak up every second and really make it count. I feel like I need to do all the things but on the other hand, they aren't important things and I need to just chill out.

ricecakes1216 · June 2014

@mrsdbc‌ I was told the same thing as @mrscbrad‌, it's pretty inaccurate at this point. I have too much fluid and carry the baby out front so I measure way bigger. At 38 weeks I measured 44 weeks but baby was high and hasn't dropped. I agree that it's still weird that they aren't measuring.

b48kate · June 2014

@whoberry‌ That is such great news! We give MILs a hard time around here, but I am sure most if us love ours (even with their weird MIL idiosyncrasies). Glad to hear that yours may be on the mend...
