    Ok speaking of fans.... My brother is convinced that a fan actually makes a room hotter. I argue that the fan circulates air so that's not possible because it makes you more comfortable with a breeze. Who's right?

    PS- someone tell him to quit turning my damn fan off!

    It depends which way the fan is circulating. One way brings the air up to the ceiling so it is just circulating the air and and may not actually cool things down. The other way it pushes the air down and creates more so a breeze in the space actually helping to cool things down.

    Tower fan, not a ceiling fan.

    We'll in that case it's creating a breeze so at the very least it's cooling down your body temp when it hits you.

    @purpleXdandelion‌ : I hope your DH can see your perspective on this! I would definitely NOT be comfortable with extended family visiting so soon after a RCS either. :(

    Sooo family shower was today and MIL &FIL failed to show up....

    After RSVP'ing and my mom counting them for the food and drink budget etc ( drink station was catered by number of guests in advanced soo yeah...)

    This come just a couple weeks after MIL picked a fight with DH over her not being invited/included in anything ( which is completely false, I swear she makes stuff up in her head because she's literally been invited to everything we've ever done family-wise). The problem is she always has something better to do or makes up events in her head such as a wedding/reception me and DH never had since we eloped or his college graduation that he chose not to participate in after his grandmother passed away. She really thinks he is excluding her from these things and holds serious grudges.

    I don't get it but I am so not loosing sleep over it!

    Oh but on that note-- the debate between me and DH on LO's middle name being his moms name is probably over after this crap. I can't name my daughter after her after all the drama she causes--- trust me there's more but I won't divulge this time.

    My 7 year old niece is staying with me tonight (she wanted to "help" me unpack after the shower and she loves coming over to my house) and SO is sleeping in the guest room and she's sleeping on our bed with me....

    I've never had less room in a bed than sharing a queen size bed with a 7 year old. I've woken up with feet in my face twice.

    My 4.5 yo is like that too! And my husband had never experienced it until I started traveling...He was amazed as well. And we sleep in a king sized bed! My son also snores, which makes it worse/funnier :)

    Thank you very much @LiteraChick‌. It really is just water off a ducks back for me. I feel worse for my hubs though because he has made a huge effort for her despite her ugliness.

    This isn't like them to pull something like that though, especially FIL. So I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that perhaps they forgot it was the 8th. Big benefit if the doubt seeing that we talked about it 2 weeks ago though..... Hmmm.

    We shall see!

    My hospital now does a "family centered cesarean" pretty much all thanks to my OB. I am so excited about this. I get DS in my chest immediately after he's taken out of me, and "recovery" is spent in my hospital room, again, with DS. I am pumped not to be recovering alone in a closet and that I can actually be with my baby right away.

    That's really awesome! I'm going to have to ask my OB about this, just in case I need one unexpectedly. Good to know that this is in practice somewhere :)

    I'm planning on going to see "The Fault in Our Stars" on Thursday, but I'm worried about the sex scene making me feel skeevy, since Gus' body double was a student of mine. Anyone seen it? Am i gonna see more than I wanna see?

    How far away do they live? Did anyone try to contact them to see if they had forgotten?

    They live 20 minutes away so no issues there. Hubs tried calling both of them several times but one went to voicemail and the other didn't pick up. They are never good at answering their phones though.

    A friend told me to scrub my nipples with a scratchy washcloth or loofah. I asked my MD about this- she said absolutely not!
    My MIL said the same thing and my OB said "uh. no"

    Having a rough night. DH works in sales, so while the dealership is "open 8-6 or 8-8" depending on the day, he can be stuck there a lot later if he's with a customer. I'm very appreciative of the hard work he does and the fact that his job allows us to live a comfortable lifestyle, but it sucks when he has customers consistently coming in 15 min before close and taking up 1-2 hrs of his time that he could be home with me.

    What really got me tonight, though, was this lady had said she'd buy her car tonight, so he goes in even though Monday is technically his "day off" and the lady decides she's not sure and says she'll come back Wednesday at 5:30 to do a few more test drives and hopefully buy something. Wednesday is our 3 yr anniversary and the dealership closes at 6, so I was hoping we could actually do something since this is the last anniversary before everything changes.

    When DH told me about this lady's plans I instantly started to ugly cry. How are we ever going to have date nights when the baby comes if we can't even swing one when it's just the two of us?! I am feeling all the scareds and sads about how my marriage is going to be different in 6-ish weeks. :(

    I feel you. My DH is either deploying or going to a training thing in August. I'm not looking forward to him being gone so long, especially with a new baby. Do you have a good support system? Think about the weekends you two can take when baby is with grandparents!

    Well they can't say you didn't try!

    Update-- they actually forgot! Or so MIL says. I'm a firm believer in you make time for and remember (or find a way to remember if you're really that bad..., or if you have pregnancy brain) the things that are important to you. This pregnancy already seems unimportant to them. I even had to ask DH if they even know when she's due or if they inquire about her, so why would I believe for a second that going to celebrate having LO was important. Okay, I'm done ranting. Story over.
