@JamieK1882 I'm counting down the minutes until 1pm because I decided that working a full day today just isn't for me! I'm hoping the line at Wendy's isn't too long when I get there. I'm also hoping that the food will be fresh and delicious. Nothing worse than dreaming of food only to have it ruined when you get there because the sandwich is overcooked and the fries are cold and soggy! )
I really miss my high waisted jeans and shorts and incidentally, my hot butt. I shrunk my favorite target dress and cried. FI says I don't really look pregnant but just constipated. Thank you, I'm actually both.
Cancer and heart problems are the WORST especially when involving our families. My grandmother passed away when my mom was a teenager of colon cancer. I still have trouble dealing with the fact that I never got the chance to meet her. Everyone says I look just like her which makes me so happy but hurts at the same time because I don't have her here. If I could choose to eliminate one thing from the face of this earth it would be miscarriages. No woman should ever have to go through the loss of a precious baby. Hugs to all dealing with pain and heartache.
My FFFC... I've spent WAY too much money on clothes for my little girl. We went to Charleston last weekend and I spent $150 on three outfits. I found another store here in town on Tuesday and spent $150 more. I can't stop with the cuteness. I know she will poop, pee, throw up on everything I get her and I don't need to buy her these expensive dresses until she is older but I am so excited about having a little girl that I want her to come out of the womb as the best dressed baby in all the world. At last count, she has 19 "nice" outfits from 0-6 months. I don't even know when or where she will even be able to wear them all.

How in the bloody freaking hell do you do that? $150 on three baby outfits that they are going to grow out of in 3.2 seconds? Are they diamond-studded and dusted in gold? Seriously? Am I just out of touch with baby clothes buying (I've bought a total of four onesies for the twins and flipped my shit out, vowing only to buy second hand from now on, when it came to $50)?

I would absolutely be doing this if I was having a girl. Everyone who knows me know I would be! I would be so out of control.
Wal mart has onesies for $3.00. I did buy some camo bibs for $8 from a flea market. My child will not have expensive clothes....unless someone else buys them as a gift.
I did splurge and buy a World of Warcraft onesie that was $20 with shipping.....so I guess maybe I should put my foot in my mouth a tad.......I would love to buy a cute little pair of dr. martens boots for him too......but I don't think I will be dishing out $65 for those.

This is one of the reasons that I'm glad I'm having a boy. I'd be broke if I were having a girl.

----Quote box fail---- I was blown away by how expensive they are too!! Trust me. I just couldn't stop myself. Kissy kissy is one brand that I've fallen in love with. The material is so soft, I seriously think it's made out of baby unicorn fur.

I might need to check out The Walmart. Honestly, I keep reading how everyone gets clothes for their showers so I've been resistant buying anything and hoping the rumors are right (am I the only person who is actually excited about people buying clothes for their shower?)
The only thing we might splurge on are Seahawks onesies (like <$30). I can't even bring myself to buying them baby jerseys because they are so expensive and will grow out of them so fast.

This is totally me - when I'm in a conversation, when I'm driving down the street, when I'm shopping, when I'm on the phone.....not while I'm at the pool though , I really don't want to get arrested.
I am excited about getting clothes at the shower. I don't expect to get as many clothes as I would if I were having a girl though. Women LOVE buying cute little girl outfits.
I hope I get a decent amount though since it will be winter time and baby will need to be dressed warm. I am not registering for clothes though, I imagine people will just pick out what they think is cute.

Yeah, I didn't register for clothes either. I just assume people will get whatever they want and I'm grateful for whatever I get (not picky at all).
I think it's funny how excited people get over girl clothes and not so much over boy clothes (I admit, I'm the same way). My little sister in law (she's 14) has been an advocate for our boy twin, reminding her mom to buy for our boy twin every time she finds something cute for the girl. According to her "it's not fair that the girl gets all the clothes!" My little sis in law is so cute.

Don't get me wrong I've spent a small fortune on my boys clothes. I'm a name brand whore, but I'm getting better. I would say 90% of my kids wardrobe is from the gap and baby gap. My 10 year old everything's from Tillys.
I confess, I've watched a few of my friends have sex before. (We were all in the same room) Multiple times. Is there a term for that?
Voyeurism. :P
@mander82 - Hee~! on the WoW onesie! I've only got one outfit set for our little girl yet; we bought it off of Groupon or Living Social and I think it was like $10 for a bib, shirt, skirt, pants, mittens & socks. However, the ILs take us to GenCon every year and I anticipate a fair amount of baby-gamer-chic to come home with us. I'm also doing the book instead of a card thing, having a co-ed baby shower, and asked one of my friends if she wanted to be the hostess (because two of them were sort of dancing around the subject and just seemed easier to be direct and have enough time for planning). I think, according to what I've heard about the baby shower board, that I have earned seating somewhere in the first through third circles of Hell for all that. :P
@lisaren - I see that being me in a few years. It's CHAI!
@absolutelymaybe - I'm excited about getting people's hand-me-downs. My brother has a three year old (youngest of four) and I'm pretty sure he and the current wife have decided to be done with babies now, so I'm hoping they want to unload all the baby stuff they're not using anymore. My mom offered to call him and ask if he'd be fine doing that for the shower instead of buying a bunch of new stuff.
FFFC: It's 93 degrees outside. I am laying on the couch eating watermelon, bumping and listening to music in my PJs with my bump out in its full glory. I don't have any intentions of changing clothes. Are there things that I need to do? Yes, but this teacher is having a lazy summer day.
This might be weird, but all this talk about birth plans and birthing experiences is getting me totally excited for the whole process. I know I'm a FTM (with twins) and I probably should be freaked out, but I'm just not scared or anxious at all. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds and to have this new experience. I think it's going to be cool!

I like to pick my nail polish off. If it's gel/shellac, even better and more fun to just peel right off. Manicure technicians always scold me and I pretend I don't know what I'm doing is bad. I'm a weirdo! :-bd

+1 to the weirdo group. I always pick my gel/shellac off. It's a serious problem. Once I see a corner peeling, all bets are off and I spend the next thirty minutes peeling it all off. It's actually better for us while pregnant so we don't have to use the acetone remover. Or so I tell myself...

@MalachiteDrake yeah, I am none too concerned about how others feel about my shower and they way I am doing it. I am trying to be as respectful and undemanding as I can.....but all in all, I have been to enough baby showers to see what others find is acceptable in my area and what isn't. People also know that they don't have to do these extra things if they don't want. I am not one to ask for anything, material wise, or help wise......so I think people will actually be quite surprised that I am asking for these things.
If that earns me a front row seat in Hell with you, then so be it !!!
I got married at the JP in a $29 victoria secret sundress and we all ate at a local buffet restaurant after the "ceremony" I didn't have a bridal shower, and expected no gifts when we had our "reception" a month later. This helps me justify being a tad greedy when it comes to the baby shower.

I'm so sorry about your mom @Becks517 my mom is fighting triple negative breast cancer currently and it's such a roller coaster. I get angry that she didn't just get regular breast cancer, nope, she had to get the really shitty kind that's really aggressive and only 5-10% of people get. I think about cancer and breast cancer so much, it never stops.
@Kristy774 - My mom (who is 49) was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks ago, and this last Tuesday they told her it was triple negative breast cancer. They sent her DNA test to see if she has the BRCA gene mutation (she was told it was likely that she did). There are no words to describe how scared I am not only about losing her, but if she's positive for the gene mutation then maybe I am. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope your mom gets some answers soon. I am trying really hard to stay positive until we have more answers/a prognosis. My mom wants a double mastectomy no matter what the gene test shows, so I hope and pray that it was caught in time before it traveled outside her breast.
On a lighter note, my FFFC is that I hate camo on babies (sorry @mander82). My husband and his dad both hunt, so I can see his dad or other family members getting baby camo outfits. Not a fan.

I am so sorry. Does breast cancer run in your family? We don't know a lot about the history in our family because my grandmother was adopted and she committed suicide when my mom was a child, so they gave my mom 50/50 odds of having the gene. I'm wondering why they told your mom she probably has it.....my moms didn't start out as triple negative, it was a different kind of breast cancer originally, then about 3 years after the BC, she got it in her neck, and that's when it turned to triple negative BC. I was told that if my mom has it, I then have a 50/50 chance of having it.

PM me anytime. Hugs to you.
@Kristy774 - Breast cancer does not run in our family at all. My mom's mom died of an aneurism when she was in her early 40s, but otherwise the women on her side live a long time (and very few have had any kind of cancer). They told her the odds were in her favor of having the BRCA mutation because it is often linked to the triple negative type of breast cancer. I hope neither of our moms have this mutation. I will be thinking of you and your mom. You'll have to keep me updated as you learn more. I'm so sorry you're going through this too.
@Becks517 - We are doing our best to stay positive. I think my mom is handling it quite well, although she is a little more down after hearing how aggressive the triple negative breast cancer is. Fortunately she has a lot of support and DH and I are only a couple hours away so we can see her often and help with anything she needs in the upcoming months.

I KNOW it's an addiction and I KNOW that just because you are low-income doesn't mean that it's okay to look down on someone for their weaknesses. Here's my issue of the day though:
I was at Walgreens buying a Fiji water. ONE BLOODY WATER! Thinking, this should take about 5 min if there's a line. Well there was a woman in front of me buying Marlborough Reds and Mike and Ikes. I consider both of these things to be a bit of an "extra" in life. Like if you can't afford it, don't get it. Yes, it's hard to give up cigarettes and sugar, but if you have very little to your name, you should be more responsible to the bit you have left.
ANYWAY, she proceeded to pull out 4 different debit/credit cards and wrote a check, all of which were declined do to ISF. Like, do you really need your cigarettes and candy THAT badly?! After 20 min she goes "Well, I guess I'll have to wait til pay day because I am all out! There's no discount or coupon you could give me on this s*** right?" Of course there weren't and she just wasted 20 min of my dehydrated, tired and grumpy day.

I did splurge and buy a World of Warcraft onesie that was $20 with shipping.....so I guess maybe I should put my foot in my mouth a tad.......I would love to buy a cute little pair of dr. martens boots for him too......but I don't think I will be dishing out $65 for those.
Also...........I can't remember if I put deoderant on this morning.........

I just bought a Starbucks chai. My daughter asked if she could have a sip and I said "hell no"
Lisa. Really. Jeebus. Cursing at my child over Starbucks.

I was blown away by how expensive they are too!! Trust me. I just couldn't stop myself. Kissy kissy is one brand that I've fallen in love with. The material is so soft, I seriously think it's made out of baby unicorn fur.

This is totally me - when I'm in a conversation, when I'm driving down the street, when I'm shopping, when I'm on the phone.....not while I'm at the pool though , I really don't want to get arrested.
I am excited about getting clothes at the shower. I don't expect to get as many clothes as I would if I were having a girl though. Women LOVE buying cute little girl outfits.
I hope I get a decent amount though since it will be winter time and baby will need to be dressed warm. I am not registering for clothes though, I imagine people will just pick out what they think is cute.

Yeah, I didn't register for clothes either. I just assume people will get whatever they want and I'm grateful for whatever I get (not picky at all).
I think it's funny how excited people get over girl clothes and not so much over boy clothes (I admit, I'm the same way). My little sister in law (she's 14) has been an advocate for our boy twin, reminding her mom to buy for our boy twin every time she finds something cute for the girl. According to her "it's not fair that the girl gets all the clothes!" My little sis in law is so cute.

This might be weird, but all this talk about birth plans and birthing experiences is getting me totally excited for the whole process. I know I'm a FTM (with twins) and I probably should be freaked out, but I'm just not scared or anxious at all. I can't wait to see how it all unfolds and to have this new experience. I think it's going to be cool!

@MalachiteDrake yeah, I am none too concerned about how others feel about my shower and they way I am doing it. I am trying to be as respectful and undemanding as I can.....but all in all, I have been to enough baby showers to see what others find is acceptable in my area and what isn't. People also know that they don't have to do these extra things if they don't want. I am not one to ask for anything, material wise, or help wise......so I think people will actually be quite surprised that I am asking for these things.
If that earns me a front row seat in Hell with you, then so be it !!!
I got married at the JP in a $29 victoria secret sundress and we all ate at a local buffet restaurant after the "ceremony" I didn't have a bridal shower, and expected no gifts when we had our "reception" a month later. This helps me justify being a tad greedy when it comes to the baby shower.

@Kristy774 - My mom (who is 49) was diagnosed with breast cancer two weeks ago, and this last Tuesday they told her it was triple negative breast cancer. They sent her DNA test to see if she has the BRCA gene mutation (she was told it was likely that she did). There are no words to describe how scared I am not only about losing her, but if she's positive for the gene mutation then maybe I am. I am so sorry you are going through this. I hope your mom gets some answers soon. I am trying really hard to stay positive until we have more answers/a prognosis. My mom wants a double mastectomy no matter what the gene test shows, so I hope and pray that it was caught in time before it traveled outside her breast.

I am so sorry. Does breast cancer run in your family? We don't know a lot about the history in our family because my grandmother was adopted and she committed suicide when my mom was a child, so they gave my mom 50/50 odds of having the gene. I'm wondering why they told your mom she probably has it.....my moms didn't start out as triple negative, it was a different kind of breast cancer originally, then about 3 years after the BC, she got it in her neck, and that's when it turned to triple negative BC. I was told that if my mom has it, I then have a 50/50 chance of having it.
PM me anytime. Hugs to you.

I KNOW it's an addiction and I KNOW that just because you are low-income doesn't mean that it's okay to look down on someone for their weaknesses. Here's my issue of the day though:
I was at Walgreens buying a Fiji water. ONE BLOODY WATER! Thinking, this should take about 5 min if there's a line. Well there was a woman in front of me buying Marlborough Reds and Mike and Ikes. I consider both of these things to be a bit of an "extra" in life. Like if you can't afford it, don't get it. Yes, it's hard to give up cigarettes and sugar, but if you have very little to your name, you should be more responsible to the bit you have left.
ANYWAY, she proceeded to pull out 4 different debit/credit cards and wrote a check, all of which were declined do to ISF. Like, do you really need your cigarettes and candy THAT badly?! After 20 min she goes "Well, I guess I'll have to wait til pay day because I am all out! There's no discount or coupon you could give me on this s*** right?" Of course there weren't and she just wasted 20 min of my dehydrated, tired and grumpy day.
People drive me nuts...
