@umbcpt I'm sorry for your Granny. I burst into tears reading your post because my Grandma passed away about a month before my DD was born. We were going with a different middle name originally but we changed it to my Grandma's name because she was the best. I love my DD's name soooo much now because it is so meaningful and unique (mn is Blanche :P )
Anyone an avid NPR listener? I'm in the car a lot and am constantly tuned in. Is it horrible that I can't stand the Diane Rehm Show? Does that make me ageist?
I'm an avid NPR listener but we don't get that show broadcast on my local station. As far as our morning shows go, I'm not a huge fan of the Takeaway with John Hockenberry but I really like Here and Now with Robin Young.
And I just puked trying to eat lunch.
Anxiety blows.
I get "nervous poops" I call it. Although in pregnancy this is actually a relief lol. Just think that your worrying can't change the outcome. I'm sure everything will be fine!
@psychobutthead I'm so sorry. I think something about weddings and pregnancies seem to bring out the craziest behavior in all of our families! I also think your statement about not wanting to exclude them, but being willing to do so if this continues is TOTALLY justified.

Thanks everyone. I just discovered about 15 minutes ago, that I actually caught an avocado in the perfect stage of ripeness to eat, so that helped the day immensely. (My favourite food in the world is avocado slices on melba toast!)
The store is REALLY quiet today (it got quite cold and overcast here all of a sudden), so I'm binge watching Star Trek TNG (I'm sorry; I'm a total nerd), and making viking helmet toques to sell. MIght as well make something of the day....
@scgmama I'm sorry for the stress your family is putting you through
Thank you... Apparently my mom told my dad not to tell his family that I'm pregnant because she doesn't want to hear what they say because it's "enough" what she thinks and feels about it. I just want to crawl into a hole and disappear.
Finally back home after a weekend away! And caught up on the thread.
It was a reasonably good weekend that DH and I crammed a lot of stuff in to. We had our friend's wedding reasonably all day on Saturday and did some shopping and hanging out the rest of the weekend. We now have enough cloth diapers for newborn into a little beyond, so we'll be able to switch things up without too much investment if needed or easily get more once we've got a handle on our needs. Also picked up a couple of clothing items for Surprise.
I had wanted to get out to training tonight, but with the rain we've been having off and on, and my still being on the scooter I decided it's best not to, so I'm at home doing laundry and nursing my hunger/dehydration headache (early morning flights are the pits). Also came home to an 8-inch anole in the house..
My parents' neighbors were complaining about something my parents are doing on Facebook. My parents are not on FB, but they must have forgotten that they are friends with both my brother and I. The comments were just starting to get good when the whole post was suddenly deleted. I wonder if they finally realized we could see it. There goes my fun for the evening...
So MIL is crocheting me a baby blanket. She didn't do that for SIL. This should go over real well.
I just dread everything. I know anything DH's family does for me SIL will be a total bitch about it. I feel so bad for her loss and I know I'm pregnant but its really no excuse to be acting the way she is when I have been completely leaving her alone and not rubbing anything in her face.
No matter what I do or don't do his family is just horrible towards me.

I finally decided to cook in my crockpot My power went out today. Now not only does the chicken need to get throw out but we have no extra food in the house. I found a package of hot dogs...ugh. I normally like hotdogs but I really wanted my buffalo chicken.

Im sorry youre having to deal with this. I sort of know your pain. All my life, my aunt has been treating our relationship like a big race, who can top who. She got pregnant before I did, and my grandparents weren't really in a position to help her out. She and her husband made too much money for her to get Medical in Sacramento, nor did she qualify for WIC, SNAP, or TANF. Now that I have Medicaid and WIC, and am looking into SNAP, she's been acting like I'm such a huge burden on the family. That because my husband lost his job, and my paycheck wasn't covering the bills, and my mom and grandparents bought us groceries once or twice, that I am the reason why she didn't get any help when she was pregnant. #1) that was 3 years ago, #2) things change, and #3) its not like I purposely waited for her pregnancy to be over so that I could get pregnant without anyone stealing the lime light. Sometimes people are petty jerks that just need to grow up. Unfortunately, we all have those types of people in our families.
My SIL just POAS and got a BFP for her fourth. She called to tell me first (after her hubby) b/c she knows this is my first and she wants me to be ok with it "in case her fourth overshadows my first". Uh, ok. Congratulations! Not really sure what to make of that?

The only thing thats going to overshadow anything is her big fat head overshadowing her big fat ego! Who says something like that to someone? What a tart!
We have Starz so I can watch Outlander (anyone else??) and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I come home and catch DH watching "Frozen." .....I can't.
And they arent really getting it. So I'm just laughing at myself.
I'm going to just go lurk now.

Thanks to pinterest, I was craving.g a McDonald's riddles breakfast sandwich. I found multi grain waffles in the freezer and made a semi close one with egg, cheese and a drizzle of maple syrup. It.was.Amazing.
