  • I feel like I'm one of the only people on this board who feels this way, but I don't want my baby to come until her due date (the 16th) at least.  I have a lot of stuff to get done at work and home, and I'd rather have those chores done before she gets here.  I will feel more relaxed and able to enjoy her if I have all of this done.

    If she comes before the 16th, I am guessing my reaction will be "no, not yet!"

    Everyone else seems to be so eager to meet their babies NOW, that I feel guilty as though I'm not as excited for her or that I'm a bad Mom.  I just want her to stay in a little longer and I feel guilty about it.

    You're not alone! I'm in the same boat; my due date was yesterday but DH and I hoping it doesn't happen til Saturday at the earliest. Mostly it's due to our available vacation hours at work, and he's got a lot going on at work through tomorrow.

    Fingers crossed for a healthy baby after Saturday :)

    I'm okay if baby comes a few days early, but will be okay if he comes on time or a little after.  (I may eat crow later if he comes late and I'm all like OMG WHY WON'T BABY GET OUT?!)  I don't want him to come before this weekend since we have furniture being delivered and I'd like to waddle around getting everything arranged just so.

    Next week is my first actual week of maternity leave, and it would be nice to do a little nesting so that I feel like our house is less of a slovenly place.  I've done little bits here and there but sometimes it's really hard after a long day at work and I get home tired and just want to collapse.  Will be nice to have some time to just focus on that!

    Good luck with the books.  I tried them, I honestly did.  I just can't get past the incest.  As much as I love scifi/fantasy and dragons and stuff like that...I can't stomach those books or the TV show!

    My UO:  I really hate to wear dresses.  But I've had to wear them a lot lately, because otherwise at work I'm way too hot.  This wearing a dress business is downright alien to me...

  • I think kids at pools in just a swim diaper look tacky.

    Wait...people do that!?

    I don't get the Jack Rogers sandal trend. They remind me of something old ladies wear.

    Those are hideous.

    Thank you! I feel like the only person who doesn't have a pair. And, they're expensive for sandals!

    I've been living in these when not at work: https://m.target.com/p/women-s-mad-love-lianne-flip-flops/-/A-14992492. I have them in 3 colors. Best $10/pair ever.
  • I hate the mason jars as cups fad.


    But... I love that I can screw on a mason jar into my blender when making a smoothie. One less thing to wash = winning at life
