5 cycles of "TTC" - 3 intentional, 2 not so intentional. 5 BFPs. My rainbow arrived 10/15/14. TFMC 08.02.13 at 19+ weeks. Everyday I grieve for my little Olive.
I had breakfast, and had a donut, and I STILL WANT FOOD.
This is my struggle every day.
ALSO. Up for discussion: Is it donut or doughnut? We had a long conversation about it at work recently. But my boss is English, what does he know?
I spell it doughnut, only donut when referring to DDs. Which I don't do often because I hate it.
Me too! I think it's like Kleenex. It's so common that instead of asking for a tissue, people ask for a Kleenex now. So now, instead of doughnut, people ask for donuts.
a couple years ago I watched my niece and nephew while my brother went out to dinner with SIL and the next day they found lice on my niece. I was so completely grossed out. I still don't know how I avoided getting them because we were laying on the same pillow and watching movies for 2 hours. I itched for weeks and I was constantly making people check my head (DH was working airlines at the time he was rarely home). Supposedly they don't like coconut smell either.
Getting our new washer and dryer tomorrow. I am way too excited over this (our current set is over 20 years old so for once, I can't wait to do laundry this weekend).
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
I am so excited for my 2 new nursing bras, robe, and nursing tank to arrive tomorrow. I feel like I won't be struggling quite as much postpartum now.
Plus, getting packages is the bedrest holy grail. Walking to the mailbox is how I get most of my thrills these days.
Dude! I'm dangerously addicted to online shopping right now! Just got my car seat and a new camera delivered yesterday and anxiously waiting for next week when more stuff will be arriving (hopefully on different days to provide more excitement): books, nursing bra, new address labels from Etsy! Bedrest has it's perks :-)
I'm so annoyed with my DH. This whole time he has been making fun of this stupid, fucking gender reveal party happening tomorrow. Now he wants to go and just not bring a potluck dish or diapers/wipes for the raffle. I don't want to do that. This whole thing is ridiculous and stupid. And I couldn't care less if they are having a boy or a girl. I don't want to go and pretend I care, because I just don't.

I went on Target's website last night trying to score the bogo deal on nursing bras and tanks, but it looks like I missed it. Super bummed!
On another note, my shipment of fall goodies from Bath & Body Works arrived yesterday! How early is too early to switch over to pumpkin-scented stuff? I have yummy new candles and soaps and lotions but it's still 80 degrees outside. Whomp

But you must, for us!
Yes! I feel like we have to know how much of a shit show it is.
@MrMrsandBaby Happy Anniversary!
Sometimes I still feel pretty down about having a boy, but then somebody brings up something like snakes and I get all excited that boys aren't expected to freak out over things like creepy wildlife. Not that expectations mean anything in reality; I realize he could wind up be a total scaredy cat.
Also, I picked up a pizza for dinner last night and my car still smells like it this morning. Mmm.
@MrsL2B my husband is PETRIFIED of snakes. He refuses to look at the snake exhibit at the zoo. The other day, on the news, they were airing a segment on a white albino snake that was roaming a local neighborhood (clearly I live in a high crime area...) and he freaked out and refused to come back in our bedroom until I either turned off the tv, changed the channel, or the segment was over. I am not a huge fan of snakes either but he takes it to the extreme!
FIL is coming over to start trim tonight. And finishing up tomorrow. GUISE DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?!?! DH can bring in and assemble the furniture! And I will have a nursery!! Can it be?! \:D/

Yes. But I DO want you to not bring a thing. Just be like "oh, we weren't sure, we just swung by." And eat everything.
I am going to cut all of my hairs off today. It's gotten so thick and heavy, I just can't stand it anymore. Much excite!
Not that you care of my opinion, but after LO gets here you lose all the hair that hasn't fallen out over the past 9 months. So just be careful not to make to big of a drastic change before that. It will look tons different after shedding. I don't know your hair type. I just wouldn't go really short till after
I'm dying to put mine in but I'm afraid it will make me more impatient. I'm trying to wait a little longer...
We are going to install ours next week! We registered for some seat protectors for our cars and I was waiting to see if someone would purchase them as a shower gift...which they did! Our last shower is on Sunday so once we get those we are totally installing the car seat bases! I'm super nervous about pre-term labor since I was born at 34 weeks and my brother was born at 35 weeks...I'm hoping it isn't genetic!

I was going to get those, but it's all over the internet recommending to NOT use seat protectors or anything that doesn't come with your car seat. So, I got scared and didn't get them.
So I am a bit bummed today as last night we found out our hospital does not allow you to eat/ or drink any liquids while in labor. Its certainly not the end of the world but they tout themselves as being some family and baby friendly that was a bit of disappointment.
In other news, I am living in the toilet since about 5am today...I had to come to work as I had a very important meeting but I wish I could have stayed home, I have to go to the toilet downstairs every two minutes
(
Ours doesn't let you either, because it's basically like giving birth on the scene of Orange is the New Black. I'm going to take crackers. I'm going to eat those crackers if I feel the urge to do so. The risk of aspirating during an emergency surgery is SO small. The risk of NEEDING an emergency surgery is small to begin with. If I'm not able to have enough energy to push because I haven't eaten in 24 hours, then I'm going to have some crackers (not like, a cheeseburger for god's sake).
Basically, my hospital sucks, and I'm going to just do what I want on some things, all things which I have researched thoroughly.
Like their "no skin-to-skin after a c-section" policy. Fuck that. My husband will be ripping his shirt right off to do skin-to-skin. I understand ME not being able to do it, but they laughed when I suggested my husband do it. FUUUUUCK you.

Is this party in GB?
Nope, about 15 min from us.
I would be dying of curiosity and would WANT to go! Take me with you! lol
-- I think the whole thing is going to be really lame. Sure, they invited about 700 people, but I doubt more than 40 people will show. So it will just be a bunch of people we don't really know hanging around waiting for them to cut the cake. Borrrring. I'd rather go buy my own cake and eat it in the comfort of my own home.
I want to clean everything. I know I should not, but I really, really want to. This is unusual and a little alarming. Baby must be coming out! (Sarcasm.)
Yep, it's only a matter of time after you start nesting. Science.

Huh?! Why not? I have one because I have leather seats. I dont see how it would be detrimental?
Conversation with my print vendor yesterday:
Him: When are YOU gonna pop?
Me: Not soon enough... But October.
Him: Are you sure it's not twins?
Me: Um, no... RUDE!
Him: Well, I mean, you are just so tiny.
Me: Wait... What?
See... Awkward comments get awkward backtracks to save face. I encourage all who receive stupid comments to call people out on it because it's fun to watch them squirm back to appropriate social graces.
Haha yes! Someone said I looked like a zebra this morning and I go "is that a fat joke?" and it was immediate bumbling fumbling. I love making people uncomfrotable.

I remembered this morning that one of my clients writes children's books. So I called him about writing a story for H about his bulldog that he can read to Lil Man. It will take several months to get it done and I am going to send him pictures with different stories to try to capture Molly's personality. I'm very excited about this!
BUT... while he isn't "charging" me, he's accepting donations to his nonprofit (that he uses to fund books for schools and libraries) and the last book he was commissioned for he "charged" the woman $900, down from $1,500. :-O Worth it, right?

Oh, and another tid bit about the gender reveal party. I saw on FB that the nephew (of mom to be) posted, "Sorry, I won't be able to make it, my team has a game tomorrow." And she responded with "Yeah, your mom told me...well hopefully you win the game so it will actually be worth missing our party for.." WTAF? Who says that to a 12 yr old?? She pisses me off.

Haha nicely done. I was having a private session with two cadets this morning (I'm aware of how inappropriate this sounds) and one of them said something about trying to avoid the elephant in the room. I acted shocked and rubbed my belly and told baby girl, "He called you an elephant!" He was pretty embarrassed and tried to backtrack, but he was talking about my giant bump and I couldn't waste that opportunity. I think I may hold it over his head for awhile.

-- I'm not! I got roped into knowing her because she is married to DH's childhood BFF. And they aren't even close anymore. This guy is a total tool and its been over a year since they have actually "hung out".
