DH and I are away upstate New York for his cousins wedding. It was my first night being away from DS. I thought I would sleep wonderfully but I was still up at 6:30! H and all the cousins are still sleeping hungover and I'm just bored and hungry.
While talking with a friend late last night, I found out that QFP doesn't stand for "quit fucking posting." Oops.
Just yesterday I almost posted "QFP. And QFP" on one of those gender threads to get at both meanings… then I was worried that people wouldn't get it! But most of us here have confessed that we think about it both ways.
At work this week someone was telling a story about a gender (yes) reveal party they went to. I guess both the mom and dad had been absolutely sure it was a girl the entire pregnancy. They already had two boys. When they open up the box and blue balloons floated out, the mom just burst into tears and started screaming about how she didn't want another boy. Awkward....
It really is a strange experience to be out with old friends who get totally shitfaced and then want to have a heart to heart with the sober pregnant girl.
Any my husband is hungover so I told him to take some excedrin. His response was "am I allowed to take that when I'm pregnant?" Hehe super cute

For the longest time I though qfp meant the same thing. I actually googled it to find out what it really meant
Nothing easy about this Sunday morning.... I was up till about 1am - couldn't sleep. Then finally went to sleep and then DD was up from 4am-6am, I think she has another tooth coming in. Now 3 hours later she's up an at 'em and I'm like a zombie. Today is going to be interesting.
ETA - and of course I'm by myself as DH has been out of town for the past 4 weekends straight. No days off for me. I love my babies, can't wait to get over this freaking hump and he should be home for a few weeks with no travel.
At 6:30 this morning the smoke alarm battery in one of the bedrooms decides to go out and start that annoying chirping. After I woke my husband up to change it (hey not allowed to climb on things right lol) we are laying back in bed trying to figure out if we should just get up or go back to sleep. It's now 9:30am and I'm just waking back up but poor guy couldn't fall back asleep. Thank you pregnancy for being able to sleep anytime anywhere!!
I purchased our Halloween candy this weekend and we always do full size bars. So I have 200+ bars of candy at home and am calculating how many I can eat between now and then and still have enough for the kids.
Finally... Had the worst dream last night where I was at an amusement park in the clouds (literally had to take a plane to get there up in the sky so weird) and there were roller coasters and everything! Well people were being flung off back down to the ground in one of the roller coasters and no one cared!! Then they wouldn't let us board the plane to go back down to the ground instead gave us a parachute and said every 5th one doesn't open good luck! Freaky scary.
Dog woke me up at 5am today by dropping a steaming pile in the bedroom. And I'm not even mad-I'm jealous because I haven't pooped that good since getting KU lol.
Sorry I was out yesterday, way too emotional to post. Our Great Dane, Marley, passed away Friday night after her heart stopped 5 times. They kept her going for us until we got there and let us sit with her in the kennel as they stopped breathing for her. It was so traumatic but I'm glad I could be there to sit with her while she left us. I'd like to share some of my favorite pictures of her. She gave the best hugs, loved playing with the hose, and helped us announce our pregnancy. She was our family and she will always be missed.
I finally found my fave maternity pants and sweater - in my H's closet. How he thought they were his - I have no idea. He is a foot taller, won't wear Gap pants, and doesn't need a stretchy waistband.
@ruemorgan so many ((((hugs)))) I'm so sorry to hear about your dog This was shared with me after my cat passed a couple of years ago and it was sweet & helpful. I hope it is for you also;
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

@ruemorgan I'm so so sorry to hear about your fur baby. I know it is such a huge void to you and your family and sending you hugs. I lost my Yorkie after 11 years of puppy love the week after I had DD so I know those hormones are going to make it even harder. More hugs
I haven't been around much and haven't posted in a random thread in a while but this has been the most relaxing weekend. I literally did NOTHING productive yesterday. I sat on the couch for the entire day (although I did just about finish my baby registry) and watched NCIS. I have no shame. But now I'm cleaning away. I'll be so excited to start the week with a clean house :-D

@ruemorgan I am so, so sorry to hear this. I was thinking about you all day yesterday. :-< Sending big hugs your way. I'm glad you got to say goodbye. Gahhhh I want to cry now!! :::hugs:::
@ruemorgan I am so sorry for your loss I am so glad that you were able to be there for her...it is such a hard thing to do but I know it helped me a lot with our three ferrets when they each passed away.

@ruemorgan So sorry for your loss. I am literally in tears for you... Possibly the pregnancy hormones to blame (and the poem posted above). My thoughts and prayers are with you.
I'm trying to talk myself out of Starbucks this morning. And I've watched all of season 1 of Gilmore Girls this weekend.
I've been watching Gilmore Girls since Wednesday, I'm about halfway through season 3.
I was trying to keep it to weekends only but I don't think that's going to happen now that I've started.
When S got home from work this morning he said "man, buy buy baby doesn't open until 10" so of course I was like "are we going?!?" All excited. He says "no, football starts at noon." Pout.
I woke up with another killer migraine. I thought things had been going so well! I hadn't had one for about two days. But they are definitely more intense than ever.
Anyway, I know this might sound really childish and I'm fully aware of the childishness of this, but sometimes I really don't like being one of many among my friends that is pregnant. Especially because I'm one of two FTMs and there are like six others, all due before me by a couple weeks or so, all on their second or more pregnancies. Don't get me wrong, I love sharing my experience with them and having their advice and wisdom. What I don't like is the social gatherings where people look at the other women and gush over how pregnant they look and then turn to me and comment that I'm "barely showing." Maybe they're trying to be nice by saying I don't look like I'm gaining weight or something, but I am obviously out of my pre-pregnancy clothes! Do they just assume I was always this size and shape? Are they just comparing me to everyone else that is pregnant? I am simply frustrated. I know, probably a stupid thing to be concerned about and I'm sounding very selfish and childish. Vent over.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and those that thought about us yesterday. I still dont feel like talking to friends but im trying to get more active on here today and distract myself a little. In positive news, 18 weeks yesterday. Did I miss out on anything yesterday?
@JM0848 yes that really is the best way to describe the love for our giants. She even had her own room, her own couch. Were a big dog kind of family and when the time comes and were ready we will be getting another great dane.
@earthian I think shes trying to get a rise, too. Plus, we have some fabulous women here who arent "due in march," so thats def mot the reason. Shoot, at my a/s ill find out if im "due in feb." Forget that though, I love my march meanies.
Rant - I'm being lazy and watching this season of 19 Kids and Counting (because it is so ridiculous) and one episode they are making a baby mobile as a wedding gift. That makes me so angry! Like assuming people won't have fertility problems. My H and I had been trying for a few months when we got married and I broke down in tears a few times at our wedding when people made toasts to us having kids - because we already knew I had fertility issues and together had gotten comfortable with the potential of never having kids. We were very quiet about it - and never even told people we wanted kids until about a year ago - but it just makes me angry how insensitive people can be. I would have lost it if someone gave me a baby gift for my wedding. Like I did lose it when my parents gave us baby stuff that same year for Christmas. I left in tears and donated it. They just assumed we would have kids soon - I am the only one in my family that struggled with infertility. That was almost 4 years ago and before any of our failed adoption attempts.
Re: Easy Like Sunday Morning (randoms)
I can't decide if I want to stay home and clean today or go up to DH's grandparent's house to see them...decisions, decisions.
Also, 16 weeks 2da!

I really don't want to know what they are fighting about.
And I love my husband so much for cleaning the kitchen and moving the cat stuff out of the guest bedroom.
