Has anybody seen my Swingline stapler?

Re: Has anybody seen my Swingline stapler?
I just got my flu shot! I don't always get them (but I get all other vac) - but it made me feel really good to be doing something to protect my baby - now and after he is born. As well as protecting other pregnant women and babies by (hopefully) not getting and spreading the flu. Plus - I got 2 lollipops because I am pregnant. And I will eat then because my mother always made us take the lollipops from the doctor - but we had to donate them to a social worker to give to kids "whose parents didn't love them". I don't think I ate a lollipop until I was at least 20. Yeah, I have mom issues.
Good luck with everything @finallyourturn2, hope everything goes smoothly for you.
Wow, that does put everything in perspective. Praying for you and your family @kellbell1982
@kellbell1982 that is just horrible. Hopefully everything goes well in her surgery tomorrow. T&P's for your family, let us know how it goes.
@kellbell1982 How scary! T&P for successful surgery and smooth recovery for your stepmom.
Just returned home from my anatomy scan and we are having a girl! Everything looks good and measuring right on track at 19w 3d. My husband was all excited and on the drive back to work started talking about the new shot gun he gets to buy now, lol.
For suzyq0525
Thanks for the info, I'm going to call her and let her know so when she recovers (and I know she will) she can go about making sure he never gets her son
I'm glad she can still get support and she definitely wants the child to continue having visits just not living with him exclusively. I'm glad you pointed out the support issue, it's important that we as parents all know that we cannot withhold visits based on lack of payment of child support even if court ordered. Also if you move more than 120 miles from the child's father you are responsive for half of the travel to and from visits such as meeting half way. I learned all of this the hard way when I married a fellow active duty military member without really thinking about the fact that we were from different states and both thought we'd be returning to ours to live. He ended up staying military so I travel a lot

Hope the link works. The post was buried on pg 2. Darcy started it.
Mine are the gummies too and I caught my husband eating one the other day. He said he just wanted a taste of something sweet.
So, I've been craving sushi for weeks and no one would go with me... I finally remembered the place by my office will do take-out. Sushi lunch and bumping at my desk FTW!!!
@kellbell1982 T&P for your stepmom.
Does anyone else feel not that attached to their LO yet? I'm PGAL, but I don't think it's worry so much as I just haven't had much "interaction" yet. I feel confident that everything is going well in there, but I dunno. The last time I saw the LO was at 7 weeks when he/she was still just a peanut. I'm sure my A/S on Friday will help. No movement yet either. I constantly think about my pregnancy. Maybe once we have a name, and see him or her again looking much more like a person now, it will just happen naturally.
If this has been you too, what is something you did to make that bond feel closer? Please don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't like my LO or anything, just not much connection yet and I am eager to have one.
Right. This is true/valid. My brother/SIL's problem is that bio dad has some mental issues and bio grandma wants to still have her grandchild in her life. So they can't get revocation of parental rights because bio dad doesn't have sufficient mental capacity to sign it over (or so his mother would probably successfully argue), or they would have. My bro wants to legally adopt SO bad, but just can't.
End quote
I'm no lawyer but this sounds so weird. How can he have parental rights if he's not deemed capable of signing them away? Ie if anything happened to your SIL, dad could not care for her so she'd have to go to someone else. And if he's not capable of making his own legal decisions he can't make any for the daughter. Just weird.

For all the ladies whose hubs are eating their prenatals, I did read an article once about how men have to be careful about ingesting too much iron because it can be bad for them if it builds up in excess because they can't release it from their bloodstream like we do (since we lose so much with periods).
I just looked at my PNV and it has 167% RDA of iron, and compared to DHs men's multivitamin and it has NO IRON at all. So sounds like there may be something valid there with what the article was saying (although I can't vouch for it, I don't even remember where it was from). I'm sure taking a few of yours now and then won't be a big deal but tell them don't make it a habit!!
H called out of work this morning so we could have sex. Twice. Awesome-sauce!
I just want to eat everything.
I'm both excited and nervous about the premiere of American Horror Story tonight. I am afraid of clowns and I bet one will make an appearance at some point...no likey.
@finallyourturn2 Hope everything goes well!
(hugs) @kellbell1982 Sending you and your family all the good vibes.
@wamom I am still not 100% sure about movement. I mean I feel things but I have no idea if it's baby or not. I'm sure I'm just psyching myself out about it, I can't be that gassy can I?
@mandjs Vitamins and other drugs are good for about a year or so after their expiration date I believe. I think they legally have to put expiration dates on everything now but typically a lot of things keep after they have "expired".
@beatlesgal4 I'm feeling the same way...a little disconnected. I think when I start to feel legit movement I'll be able to connect a little more. But either way, you're not alone in this feeling.
"Serious is only something you have to be until you can be silly again."@Beatlesgal4 - I'm not PGAL but I definitely know how you feel. I've been complaining to folks that I haven't really felt pregnant and thus this baby is feels more like an idea than a reality, if that makes sense. It helped to buy maternity clothes (because only pregnant ladies need them) and it helped to start my registry. Envisioning the nursery, what he's going to wear, imagining his bath and playtimes, and picturing us holding and feeding him has helped.
I've seen him a few times on ultrasound - the last time I had a real ultrasound was 8 weeks, but they used a handheld device on me at 10 and 14 weeks. I'll have my anatomy scan on Tuesday and I'm looking forward to it. Seeing a real baby with baby-like features and being able to take the photos home will help, too.
