I had Subway for lunch and the bread tasted different and now my stomach is upset. This is not how I wanted to spend Friday afternoon.

I accidentally ordered a double quarter pounder instead of a regular one. Ain't nobody got time for two 1/4 lb. patties! Come on, now.

Haha when I go to mcd's I always get the double. I can handle a large quantity of food.

When I gently shush the toddler to remind her to be quiet because the baby is sleeping and she gets mad and screams, I can't describe the feeling. Is it better not to shush her at all? Should I just give in to the tiny tyrant?

Can you tell your toddler, rather than shushing? I will usually say, "baby roman is sleeping, so we need to be very quiet!". Sometimes he forgets, but I feel like I get more buy-in and cooperation when I "partner" with him.

+1 to this & I have also recently figured out that my 2 year old listens better when I say "Sadie is sleeping" vs "The baby is sleeping". I don't know if its because hes used to being "the baby" & now I'm calling someone else "the baby" or if its all in my head, but I swear I've noticed a difference in using her name vs calling her the baby when talking to him

You have to take an exam? I just had to fill out an application, sign my name twice at a county office and pay a fee. Easy peasy. I mean, it's a super exclusive club...

Same here! It's super easy to become one! I've been one for 10 years

PeanutButterFox · November 2014

I didn't pack enough food. I'll be gnawing on my hands by the time 5 rolls around.

It's National Notary Public Day.

You're welcome, all. The gift table is to the right.
I should totally get DH a card.
A steak and lobster even.

Steak and lobster would be a more... notable gesture.

I had to take an all day class and take an exam at the end to become a notary. Plus do live-scan finger printing and background check to become a notary here in CA. It is a ridiculous process that we have to repeat every few years.

Notary Publics in CA are srs bsns.

I think this is how it is in NC.

Windows. Old windows let in allll the cold air and your heating bill will suck ass.

OK. Those of you that didn't answer, have fun at the sex club.

Plan to.

jesuisfatiguee · November 2014

I'd vote windows, tho.

jesuisfatiguee · November 2014

Awww congrats, Hilarity!!!

NeneCakies · November 2014

I should know by now that when DH does not bat an eye at my frivolous purchases he is buttering me up for his own plans to splurge. Apparently 3 pottery barn pillows = one shotgun + hunting gear. Hardly fair, DH; I will be leveraging this for a while.

littlestjerry · November 2014

Congrats @HilarityEnsued‌! Brothers don't shake hands, brothers gotta hug!

credcat7 · November 2014

I just used my entire allowable break to read the FFFC and I still have nothing to contribute, I suck at this!

NeneCakies · November 2014

Let's not shame one gender to boost the other. Come now, all kids have brat syndrome at one point or another.

Congrats on your healthy bundle of joy HE.

Soxgirl07 · November 2014

@HilarityEnsued‌ - I'm in the same situation, sort of. 2 amazing boys at home and am expecting another. I also found out after the early blood test, because baby had too much fluid at the bank of his neck at the NT scan.

I really tried to remember that the important part of that test went the way I wanted, but it's hard. I always wanted at least 1 of each. Neither of us wants more than 3 kids, so this is it.

I feel like I've been a little bit mourning the loss of the daughter I never had. I'm not going to lie, I think it's even made it a little hard to feel connected to this baby. I feel awful about that. I know people knock sex disappointment, but I let myself have a little pity party for awhile. I won't say I'm totally over it, but I'm focusing on the awesome things about my expanding family.

JNerd · November 2014

I have both kids down for a nap!!!!!!!!!!
Now to eat all of the remaining Halloween candy and have a glass of something. Must hurry before said children wake

Also, it must be sex shaming. Amirite, TB?

That assumes the male will not grow up to identify as a bratty female.

It's okay to judge me, I judge myself. It's fine. I still love this little munch no matter what.

No judgement and you better not judge yourself it is 100% ok to have a preference and be sad it's not like you are going to love this baby less

Just found out we're having another boy. I haz all the feels now.

Elaborate? I'm not asking in a "I might judge you way," but in a "I'll probably commiserate" way.

I wanted a boy and a girl because it really devastates me to imagine my life without a daughter. DH is dead dead dead set on the fact that he only wants to two kids. I had gotten on board with that.

I'm really excited for a boy too because I love the boy I already have and I think DS and mini baby boy will be great together. But I was still really feeling like it would be a girl.

Mostly I'm extremely happy that the genetic tests came back clean so I'm happy for a healthy baby. I had a moment of sadness, that's all.

this was me at my US for Sammie, I remember thinking "don't let them see my sadz" when they said it was a girl, I was SO SURE i wanted to have a lil boy. ( I was wrong)

PeanutButterFox · November 2014

I don't feel any pull or desire to parent a boy. At all. I would be thrilled if this LO is another girl and if not, it will take me a little bit to adjust to the idea of having a boy.

tattooedtragedy · November 2014

I had a moment of sad when I saw the "hamburger" on the screen when we had the A/S for A. Before the tech even said I knew and with A being the last baby for us I was hoping for a boy and I'd always wanted one of each. I quickly got over it and once the tech said girl E went nuts, she was so excited for a sister.

PeanutButterFox · November 2014

Watching Chopped on Netflix was a really bad idea. I'm so motherfucking hungry. I won't get my sub for like 3 more hours!

What's a good middle name for Zachary?

Is that the name you've decided on?
LOVE it!

thebanich · November 2014

I will definitely have to fight some sadness if mythical third baby is a boy.

Makes zero sense because DS is the most adorable loving thing ever.

Our Zachary is Zachary Chase. We also liked Ryan.

DH is already eating crackers.

This is going to be a fun night.

So this is a dumb question but I don't have to bring him to the ER that our doctor is affiliated with right?

Cause there's one much much closer and my mom actually has to go to this one to have her blood drawn so I can leave with both kids, drop DD off with her and then bring DS to the ER. DD can then leave with my mom.

really it shouldn't matter unless one isn't in network with your insurance. With EHR your doc should be able to get any info they need.

Congrats on the healthy baby boy @HilarityEnsued‌!!

When we found out this baby is also a boy, I thought I'd be a little disappointed as well (bc MH is also dead set on this being our last baby), but honestly, I maybe had a twinge for a second...but that was it. I was more shocked bc we were convinced it was a girl. But after the shock wore off, it was all excitement. I think having 2 boys will be a ton of fun. Surprisingly, DH was the one who seemed a little bummed for a bit. But thag quickly wore off for him too.

JNerd · November 2014

Both if our kids have names with very obvious nicknames. But we don't use them. We call them by their given names. Or 'Duckie' or 'Squeaker' instead of a shortness version of their name.
Apparently I call DS 'Duckie' so much that one of his friends thinks that's his real name.

Helenahhandbasket · November 2014

HilarityEnsued said:

I'm dead set on Zachary.... I will win the name war because DH comes to the table with suggestions like "Armand".

Just need a middle name.

Maybe Zachary Evan.

Zachary Heath

Zachary Ethan

Zachary Reed/ Reid

Zachary Bennett

Zachary Owen

Zachary Raymond

Zachary Allen

Zachary Daniel

JNerd · November 2014

Ooh! Zachary Bennett!

I wish my name was more pretentious

thebanich · November 2014

I call DS Finn-Finn about 99% of the time. DH hates it b/c he thinks people are going to think I named my kid after an illegal weight loss drug.
