The 4 kids I'm babysitting today are already giving me hell and I've been here a half hour. I cannot wait until 4. H and I are going out to dinner and then seeing guardians of the galaxy in IMAX I love date nights, we've been going out like every weekend and honestly don't plan on stopping any time soon. Gotta take advantage of not needing a babysitter to leave the house!
Also I priced out how much we'll need for the big items we plan on purchasing ourselves (glider, dresser, stroller, car seat, new camera) and it came out to basically the amount of H extra check in October. I thought we'd need so much more! So now I might upgrade and get the uppa baby vista instead of the Cruz
Its pouring rain today and I just want to curl up on the couch and watch movies. Instead I'm at work dealing with droves of stupid people and situations that should not be my problem. Get your shit together folks. I'm on call all weekend too which means I'll probably spend most of it at the hospital.
The sister who assigned her guests duties totally made me think of Joe Mayo's party on Seinfeld (from the episode where Elaine was put in charge of the coats, and proceeded to throw Puddy's fur out the window).
I have the worst baby acne (bacne?) lately. I look like a 12 year old. I was blessed that it didn't happen in puberty... just now... grrrrreat. So professional.
I'm tired as hell and I don't want to do any of the things that I have to do today. And hubs decided we do a last minute vacation half of monday - wendesday.... I'm excited but now I am cranking to get it all done and move meetings and appts.
My chest is totally broken out and I'm pretty self conscious about it
Okay, I'm a FTM and I have to say I'm not dumb enough to ask if the "flutters" at 8 weeks were my baby moving. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND PEOPLE. Just saying.
Well this is fuckin embarrassing... I go to the job and turns out it's just an interview... We spoke for 30 minutes and it went really well, but they said they'll let me know if they chose me and I would start Monday. So I politely emailed the jackass from the employment agency who told me I got the job and would be working today and asked him wtf that was about (didn't actually cuss but wanted to..). He acted shocked and claims they told him I'd be starting today. Whatever. So I'm still unemployed and just frustrated as hell.
I have a terrible work ethic today. I got fmla intermittent leave protection during my miscarriage scare, and now I am seriously considering peacing out of work early and claiming it's related to my protected leave.
Thanks ladies I need all the crossed fingers. If this falls through I got a message from a friend who is hiring for admin work at a hospital so I'll apply for that too. But yeah I am thankful I'm back home because wow I feel like poop today..
Donuts were basically the only thing I kept down yesterday. I had 3. I have one left, and I think I may go get more. But then I have to brave the owner and his "eating for two" comments.
Also, my dad just left which on one hand yay! I need my routine back and alone time with DH. On the other hand boo. Owen is going to miss him so much and it makes me sad. I told him this morning that Grandpa was going home today and he said. "I'll see him tomorrow?" Breaks my heart.
I'm frustrated that I'm getting nowhere with my job search and that NC is taking so long to process my teaching license. I'm giving up on today and binge watching Dexter while eating fried rice.

So I'm now having the baby shower convo with SO.. he keeps saying he wants his family involved and he's sure they will want to throw us a baby shower and I'm like HELL NO. I told him his sister is the only one allowed to do any sort of planning (if this even happens) and I am NOT dealing with the bs/drama/stress his mother is sure to bring into the situation. She's welcome to attend but she is not going to be involved in the planning. She's not even happy we're having a baby so why should she be?
I'm glad I read part of the baby shower thread because I had no idea how that was supposed to work. Thankfully I read it before I opened my big mouth. *sigh* newb problems.

Yeah unfortunately you get no say in who's involved, otherwise just tell them no thanks

@janda426 Guardians of the Galaxy was awesome and hilarious! Enjoy!
@meladoriestar yay! So glad everything looks good with baby! And I'm totes impressed with your husband for figuring that out.
@Cinderella021714 That sucks! Sorry about the job. FX you still get it!
Btw, all this talk of donuts has created a monster! I can't get enough Oreo cream donuts from DD.. Grr

No thanks it is! LOL
He's completely in agreement with me about his mom though (thank goodness). Plus his sister is AWESOME at planning parties and get-togethers. I know I'm not entitled to a baby shower, but I really hope they come through since this is my first baby. After this I don't think I'll care so much. I just want the experience. But if nobody says anything, I'll still be eternally grateful for this healthy little bean!
@kcbizme I like that you're reasonable. I totally understand hoping to get a shower. Forget the gifts it's fun to get together with everyone. If it doesn't work out, you should definitely have a meet the baby party when the baby is here!

Oooh great idea! See, you guys are already helping me out so much! I would never have thought of that on my own!
And as far as a shower, I wasn't even thinking about gifts. I just want everyone to get together and celebrate the fact that we're bringing a new life into the world. If they want to bring something for the baby, then they are more than welcome. No way do I expect anyone to provide things for me at all.

I don't think you understand. You can decline the whole thing or you can accept whoever is involved in whatever capacity they are involved. You can't say you only want his sister to throw you a shower (without sounding like a snatch)

Then I guess I'll sound like a snatch. Oh well. At this point I really don't care. His mom inserts her opinion in too many ways so if I offend her I won't be too upset.
By the way, I really appreciate your input. Like I said, I'm very very new at all of this so I don't know how any of the traditional stuff is supposed to work.

Iris petals is fucking insane
I probably won't, but it's soooooo tempting.
@meladoriestar yay!!! So glad baby is doing well!

Exactly! I get sick to my stomach when I see someone call a death/loss (particularly of a child!) God's will.
