Hallo, I've been AWOL for a few weeks. My dad died and I had to fly back home (outside the U.S.) to take care of things. I'm still here. Feels like I don't recognize most of the names on here anymore. Things changed fast. I'm already out of the loop! One thing didn't change though, this still seems to be the only really important thread on the board. Lol
I am so sorry about your dad , sending hugs. Some of us had user name changes and some of us are just sitting back with our popcorn waiting for others to knock each other out .. See the revival of the "Baby Showe/Gender Reveal" thread.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lots of T&Ps to you and your family.
I am going to kill my Husband... as you are in a different country I am sure the extradition rules are messed up... so far today its my fault that:
-The bacon burned bc he wouldn't get his ass out of bed (I just put it in for him)
-The house isn't cleaner (he has done nothing!)
-I just sleep all day (after washing all the sheets, pillows and comforters I was hungry and ate and quickly got sick and laid down)
-I only washed 1/2 a load of dishes (it was all the utensils and plates and I am just more efficient at stacking than you)
- I bought pork mince which is a waste bc last time it went bad (it happens sometimes)... but mince to make sausage patties is cheaper than premium bacon (can't buy the cheap bacon for him)
-I am irresponsible bc I cant find my keys so he should take the car and leave me to figure out the busses to my first appt with a new doctor...
I am half tempted to change the locks but I would just get into trouble for spending that money
I will be making myself breakfasts and lunches and he can suck it the rest of the week

DH is leaving one week earlier for a mission. I'm going home to Michigan while he's gone, so this means I get to go home one week sooner, which means I get to go to the Renaissance Festival with my bff!! I've never been, but I'm so excited! There will be a men in kilts contest. /swoon
@blueeyedrose86 I've been to the Renaissance fair quite some years ago and its a great time.
Violently threw up a couple crackers and a whole bunch of water at work this morning. Just 4 and a half more hours and I can get back in my bed. I can do this.

Welp after the long weekend, I feel like I haven't rested at all and have lower energy than ever. Thankfully second trimester is overly officially here tomorrow and I agree that everything seems different around here. Again. Ordered the blinds for our new house so for the first time in the history of the world, we will have all matching faux wood blinds all over the house and they aren't the crappy Walmart blinds - I feel all grow'd up with this new house . I'm still convinced that first trimester and a three-nager aren't a good combo. I seriously lose it with my poor son all the time. Ready for my patience to come back. He really is a sweet boy, he is just exceptionally good at pushing buttons. Glad to see all of you back in the living. How are you?

I'm with you on the lack of a restful weekend, @skruhmin. Camping was a bust, then I spent much of the day yesterday cleaning up and taking care of everything. I can not wake up today and am exceptionally short-tempered with my poor children. I also started potty training my 2 year old today. I want to get it done well before the baby's born, and she's showing all the signs of readiness, but it's still awful. Potty training is my least favorite parenting challenge to date.

I HATE potty training. We were the morons that did it with a newborn in the house, but he was showing readiness signs.

@skruhmin where did you order your blinds from? I want faux wood as well and its been on my to do list for almost 2 years, lol
blindster.com. They're doing a 25% off of everything sale that ends today. They're all custom so we will not have to do any slat removal - so worth the cost (even though it's even cheaper than doing Home Depot non custom).

February Siggy Challenge- Post pregnancy indulgences
So I just read the "all signs point to girl - can it still be a boy?" post. First of all, people are ridiculous. That had to be mud, right? Second of all, is there really a law in India that says you're not allowed to find out your baby's gender? Third, I was curious, so I looked up my Chinese Gender prediction. The first one on babycenter was straight forward - enter my age and month of conception. It said boy. But then I found another one that said I have to enter my Chinese lunar age for true accuracy. Looked that up and did it again. Girl. Oh no! Conflicting responses! What am I going to do?!?!

Welp I hope you would love your baby no matter what. Especially if it's a dinosaur. Even dinosaurs need love. I seriously hope it's not a unicorn because daaaaaaaaaamn that will hurt coming out. Think of if the horn gets stuck, or those hooves.

Okay this may seem crazy, but doesn't the week start on Sunday? Shouldn't the ticker change be Sunday to Saturday? I know it depends on where you live, but I think the majority of us are in the states.

I haven't been on since friday morning so trying to catch up on everything. This could be wrong but I just googled it and read something about you not being able to find out the sex in India because the government believes you will abort your baby if you don't get your preferred sex.

Its horrible to think that people in this world would actually do that
AFM, I don't care what I'm having, I just want to know what I'm having. I want to prepare as best I can for my baby. I like being prepared lol. For my DD, we didn't know what she was, then she came out 2 months early, and she was so tiny when she came home we ended up going to the TOY section and buying her doll clothes, just so she would have something to wear!
I also believe in today's day and age, there are soo many people who want to know the gender that there is hardly anything gender neutral out there to choose from. I've been itching to go buy things, but when we went to Target (its even less at Walmart), I went straight for the newborn onsies etc...only to find one tiny end cap with maybe 4 small hanging racks of neutral stuff on it. But when you look for gender-specific, Its all pinks and blues everywhere! Blue and brown would be great, if it didn't have trucks or baseball stuff on it... Even the Babies'r'us in Syracuse had one small shelf with neutral newborn basics, but NOTHING neutral as far as outfits go. As for bigger things, like the crib blanket set, I'm making my own, because I didn't want too girly nor to boyish, and even the "neutral" ones to me swayed one way or the other.

There really are a shit-ton of names I don't recognize after a weekend of not being on TB. Its annoying.
There really are. Being on here on and off through the weekend I've already formed some opinions haha. There's a few real rebels that have gotten more than a few eye rolls lol.

It's the owner of my company's birthday and I just feasted on the most giant piece of chocolate cake. Yum. And tonight we are going to a fancy schmancy dinner at a steak house to further celebrate. This is going to sound so cheap of me, but it will taste even better since it's not on my own dime. I am pretty pumped.

I'm surprised that someone's panties haven't gotten into a big enough wad yet to report it. That seems to be the norm when the answers they want aren't provided.
