T&P's to @biscotto & @smg2302 & @chickyclg! Quinn & I are being bums on the couch today...currently watching Winnie the Pooh. DH is working all day but since he's a GM of a restaurant, he'll be bringing home free dinner...woo hooo!
DH is taking me shopping for new bras today since my boobs have decided to become massive overnight.
By the way, I'm sorry for all you ladies that are having these awful MIL problems. You make me appreciate mine a little more. The biggest problem I have with my MIL is that she wants to be a little TOO INVOLVED with mine and DHs relationship and the baby stuff... And she's kind of an emotional roller coaster
@smg2302 and @Biscotto T&Ps, I hope you both hey plenty of rest and feel better soon.
@chickyclg That sounds so scary. I would have cried too if they tried to send me to L&D at this point. I'm glad you and the LO's are well. Congrats on finding out the sex soon. I'm so jealous of and excited for you.
Non alcoholic beer is like decaf coffee... What's the point? I mean I like both for their flavor more than the effect but the fakes don't even have the flavor...
Have you all lurked in 2nd tri lately? It's all kinds of crazy. There's a woman saying she doesn't want her baby because it's a girl, a DD, a zombie thread about aids, and a 2nd baby shower discussion. All on the first page.
I saw the one the other day about the girl that doesn't want her baby because its a girl, that poor baby is all I keep thinking.

Agreed. I tried non alcoholic beer a couple months ago and it was BLAH. It makes me so sad to be pregnant during fall. Delicious pumpkin beer season!! *sob*
That 2nd tri board upset me with the woman not wanting her baby because it's a girl so much I haven't gone back. Sometimes I really do wish you should be required to go through a psych eval before procreating.

Agreed.
I honestly think people should be required to pass a test before having children. I know, in reality, that seems fucked up, but think of all the fucked up people that wouldn't be allowed to have children!!! Society would be a much better place
Speaking of non alcoholic beverages, I'm a huge Angry Orchard fan. I especially love it while watching football. The other day I was whining that I can't drink it this season and wondered if they made a n/a version. Duh. Apple cider.
F15 December Siggy Challenge: Holiday Decoration Fails
So we went to Babies R Us last night for an impromptu look at the double stroller I really want. Well... they don't even sell it. Seriously?! I was so frustrated!!
Poor DH thinks I've lost my mind. It is so tough not really "needing" to do anything to prepare for this new baby! We don't need to buy anything! We aren't planning to buy and set up Ella's big girl room until after the baby comes. We have thousands of baby girl clothes. We are waiting until January to get the stroller, when it will hopefully be super discounted... I am just stressed and feel like we aren't doing anything!
That's my little rant for the day.
Which double are you looking at? We just got the City Select. Of course we're only using it with one seat until baby 2.0 comes, but so far it's been a great stroller. A little heavy, but I think they all are.
That's what I want!! Where did you get it? I haven't been able to find any local stores that carry it so DH and I can actually test it out!

Mocktails. A couple months ago I bought a few different juices, grenadine, and caffeine free soda and mixed up a few things and put them in a fun glass.... 2 sips and I realize I just was making fancy juice. Hardly satisfying.
Definitely appreciate the non alcoholic beer recommendations. I'm sure I've convinced you all I'm a drunk now but there's something about cook outs or football watching that does it to me.
One more thing, @lizzybean. We test-drove it with our toddler in it all over the store to make sure we liked it before we made the purchase. I highly recommend.
It's pricey and you can't use a coupon on it. I did the math: if our second child is in it until she's 4 yrs old, then the stroller will have cost us about $140/yr. Ha!
Yes we will definitely test drive! It is quite the investment! Wish we would have just got the single 2.5 years ago, so we could just add another seat now!
Going to tour an in home day care today! And we have another to view tomorrow. I really liked both of their ads online and the one today is right in our budget. FX for us please!

@jaztastic - maybe it's because of these stats that it makes your skin crawl.
Work yesterday was tough. Walked in (had my same 3 pts back), but looked at my first guy then at night shift RN. Gave each other that look of "crap- this is about to go bad." It did. During the code, I was walking quickly and fell hard on my knees. Said I was fine but started to feel it a few hours later when I finally sat back down to start charting. I was really hurting.
Ended up getting sent downstairs to the ED. Doppler and fetal u/s were good but told to rest, Tylenol and ok for back to work. Male ER doc gave me a lecture about how I should be more careful during pg because my body was changing and my balance could be off. Well no shit Sherlock, I already have a kid. I was freaking WALKING and rolled my ankle in my Danskos. I wasn't being unsafe, but hey guy- please keep lecturing me about my changing body and how I need to take care of myself when I haven't peed nor eaten all day bc that comes with my job.
So just got back from shopping with MIL. Wasn;t as bad as I expected. I think she kind of tested me on certain shit. Because she'd ask me what brand of bottles do you want or what do you think about buying this.
And I would just honestly tell her brand of bottles doesn't matter to me because you end up using cheap walmart parent choice ones or cheap ones you find anyway so a start off brand doesn't matter to me. She was happy by that because apparently her son only wants specific bottles used for his kids.
Also I could care less about diaper genies and bull like that. Apparently my SIL wanted all of that kind of stuff.
I just straight up told her I know what I don't need and I know what I won't use. If I think I won't use it I won't buy it or let someone else buy it for me. Apparently she was relieved and hoping I wouldn't be a diva about what I want for LO.
But we just got some cute little toys and some bath towels. One has a hippo head and I really thought it was just adorable. I bought a halloween outfit that says batty for mommy. But Lo will be wearing it even though it won't be a halloween baby.
Now DH is off getting us jack in the box for lunch.

Does anyone know if there's a way to set it up so that TB automatically shares your weekly update on FB?
My mom has been throwing a fit because she can never remember how far along I am and wants to see my baby stuff on FB like my cousins have set theirs up. I hate the pregnancy trackers they have for FB though so I just want to know if I'll be manually sharing for the next 21 weeks or if I can do it the lazy way.
@jennhillhoite sign her up for a weekly pregnancy email. My mom used to beg me to forward mine to her, so I just made one for her No more "what size fruit are you now?" texts, blah!

@psychobutthead I'd make her take you anyway. She deserves to feel guilty.
