I went to a second baby shower today and all I got to say is it was just as tacky as I thought it might be and I'm sure glad I spent minimal. It was actually said at that shower, why send out thank yous? Everyone was at the shower so I said thank you to them then.... :-\"
One of the bridesmaids in my sisters wedding is getting ready to have her 3rd baby. While we were doing wedding crafts they started talking about her shower (immediate side-eye) and where she was going to register.
I shit you not, her response was, "Well we really have all the baby stuff we need so I'm thinking of registering at Bed, Bath and Beyond because we could use some stuff for around the house."

BECAUSE ETIQUETTE!!!!!
I'm in awe! Another person complained about getting thrown a shower (that was out of state) and hardly anyone brought gifts... Uhm wow. I left after they opened gifts and not a second later. How do people think this is ok?
@mollyj931 you know it's only going to turn into "was that my mucus plug?" And "am I in labor?"
Before that will be "anyone take the GTT?" Followed by "I'm so done being pregnant," then "people are saying how big I am, they're calling me fat," then cue "MP" (ps, my moms group calls this the glitter plug, because puppies and rainbows) and "is this labor!?!!?!!??!?????"

Wait, what?
I'm gone all day at work, get back, and there's over 100 new posts. I made it though! I have two things to share!!
1) I had a dream I felt the baby move and my SO felt it as well. And I mean like the moving around kicking you feel way later, but I woke up and was about to cry because it wasn't real.
And 2) I drove to my MIL's house to drop off something and after eating some chips she had on the counter, petting the cat, and going on the balcony to see how far they've come with the new road the town is building, I came back home and completely forgot to drop that something off. I couldn't help but laugh when my SO asked where I put it on her counter. But I mean, really?? Way to go 8-}

What goes through people's heads that think this? This is Just so tacky and not ok. That's just weird to me!
Does this really happen?!?! No offense ladies, so much respect for you all, but if I think there's any chance I might actually be in labor the last thing that I'm doing is posting a thread here for opinions!!! I'll be on the first plane to the hospital that day. (Or, you know, DH's car...haha.)

One would think... But there was a girl who said she had literal blood basically gushing from her vagina and still asked if she should go to the ER....
I have to tell you guys about my super weird dream last night. I was in rehearsals for the next big Disney Original Movie, and Selena Gomez kept telling me I wasn't singing my part correctly. I was a diva and stormed off the stage saying I quit, but the director called me back saying they needed me. Then the cast proceeded to do a full musical number on how much they all hated me, featuring cameos from most of my friends from high school.
I woke up and actually cried from all the dream hatred. I told DH about it and he laughed at me, and then I cried more.
Is a "gender guessing" thread. I may or may not have told someone to educate themselves and called them entitled.
Whatever, I can do edgy. I did 6 years of it as a teenager. I embrace my bars.
How many more weeks until everyone who "has to know right this instant!!!" knows the sex and we can be done with those posts?
Once we are done with those posts then there will be more "could the gender from the ultrasound be wrong? It said I'm having a boy but the Chinese gender chart / old wives tale said it's going to be a girl"

Thats not cool. If I saw something on a baby shower registry for their house, I probably would buy a cheapy gift and call it a day. Thats what bridal showers are for. Also I wouldnt even go to a third baby shower.

I had a dream my neighbours had a party and had Theory of a deadman play but didnt know I was secretly dating the lead singer. We were trying to sneak around but kept getting caught.

I'm with you. I don't think I will be, nor have I been an obnoxious FTM. I love you guys for support and entertainment, but I'm sure my midwives will be the first people I ask about all these things.
Yesterday my friends went to float the river. There were several young frat boys who were being jerks to some people- Kicking coolers over, body-shaming, ect. When my friends got to the end of the float area, they saw the main jerk get out of his inner tube and this HUGE biker-looking dude was waiting(huge muscles, bandanna, leather vest...you get the picture). He walked right up to the dude and said, "I heard you was talking sh*t to my brother." The guy looked scared enough to pee himself, but still gets out a, "Yeah, so?" He was still trying to be tough. The guy gets right in his face and says, "When people start talking sh*t, I start stomping." He holds up his big foot with leather lace-up boots. My friends said they had never seen a guy run away so fast .
I miss SO I'm on a mini vacation with my parents. Were visiting my aunts and uncles from both sides. SO couldn't get the time off of work so I went on my own (he does shift work). I said goodbye Thursday morning and I was pretty good until last night. I'm not sleeping as well and just miss him.... Having fun but when I get time to myself I get teary and sad
Anywho that's today's sob fest on my end. Thanks for the awesome posts when I woke up raised my spirits a bit

I get like this too when I am away from DH. Just try to stay busy and when you're alone use it as time to reflect, focus in on baby. I also pray, that helps me, but it's obviously not everyone's thing.

Weirdddddddd.
I forgot all about this fun. I'm going bat shit crazy on the first person to ask how to induce labor because "they are SO tired of being pregnant"
If it gets called the glitter plug here, I'm out
This is tackier than 2nd showers and throwing your own shower combined!
1) I had a dream I felt the baby move and my SO felt it as well. And I mean like the moving around kicking you feel way later, but I woke up and was about to cry because it wasn't real.
