TP to my heartburn this morning. I'd rather not have to eat Tums all day today, thanks!
Also, TP to my husband when trying to discuss names. He never contributes anything until I decided that the one name I came up with he responded with "it's okay" was the one until he convinced me of a better name. Now, he's so full of suggestions! Even ones I suggested before we were ever in the mindset of getting married..apparently having a family name is OH SO IMPORTANT to him now.
@brushesnbrunch isn't it weird how so many couples have the hardest time coming up with names? We decided to cease negotiations (yes it was that serious!) until we found out the sex because we were getting nowhere. The family name argument got me too-- I was under the impression the last name WAS the family name but apparently that's not enough
@natsfans84 we stopped discussing names until we found out the sex as well. Then for 3 days I threw out name suggestions because I was under the impression that he wasn't interested in family names (per several conversations pre-marriage). And then out of the blue last night, "What about a family name? I don't like that my nephew doesn't have a family name, so we should do it." Grr!!
ETA: he's also so hard to gauge. He's had no emotional response to anything yet: Me: "We're pregnant!" Him: "Okay, I'm going to move the sprinkler now."
We find out the sex, "I guess I only have to worry about one penis now, cool."
Started feeling kicks so I grabbed his hand to put on my stomach. "Um yeah, I felt these yesterday. So?"
On the topic of names, I glad it's a boy. If it was a girl we would never have a name!
TP to my work and my boss, what I would do to TP him right now! Also every client I talked to this morning. DH is convinced I might kill someone today, it's just been one of those days! Every single person I've talked to is a moron.
That is exactly my life right now @brushesnbrunch. He did get excited to feel the baby kick (once) but the name thing is going to be the death of me...or him more likely.
Ugh the name game....as soon as we found out its a girl we immediately started the names issue for about three days it was back and fourth with different names. There were so many girls names we got overwhelmed that was three weeks ago, since then we haven't mentioned one name and don't want to, i'm not sure we'll even have it figured out by the time she's born :-/

Whenever I feel a kick I'll yell for my SO to come over and try to feel it. I was SCREAMING the other day "come here come here come here" and he's like "....one second....." (five minutes pass) "what did you want?" Then he'll put his hand there for 15 seconds and say "hmm, nothing" and walk away. Whatever, dude.
We have finally decided a name. We like it. Now i wish everyone else irl would stop asking me if we picked out names, before we decided on a name literally every person I encountered asked if we had a name, i would throw out one on our list and I can't stand people's unwanted advice and telling us "oh that name's boring, or ugly etc. There's just always something wrong. So, I have decided not to discuss names with anyone but SO, and we won't tell anyone our baby girls name until the day she is born. Oh that and when people say that their own name makes a great name, hopefully they're kidding but i get awkward and have no idea what to say to them when they say that..
@bbax44 that is what happened to us too (unwanted advice/opinions during the brainstorming process). Its funny how everyone thinks their opinion matters when then baby is on the inside, but when you introduce them to your baby when she's born, "This is my baby ______" they will say "Awww." Whenever people still make suggestions or suggest their own name I say "maybe next time!"
Names...was a battle since we found we were expecting! DH is very picky and opinionated. I we finally agreed and looked no further lol. Glad to be over that stage.
Speaking of DH he is my TP, we were mattress shopping and he would not budge for anything smaller than a king (which were more pricey than I like). His reasoning behind his decision..."I want a king because I'm a king, not a queen!" Ugh!

Yes! Everyone had an opinion or comment when we told them the name we picked out last time for DS. People can be so snarky just cause it isn't what they like so we also are not telling anyone the name for DD this time until after she is born then they can just deal with it

@brushesnbrunch the worrying about one penis comment makes me laugh out loud. A guy friend stated "I hope it's a boy so you only have to worry about one penis instead of all of them" DYING.
TP to the neighbor kids nextdoor. They keep throwing things over our backyard fence everyday and our dogs chew the stuff up and get sick. Yesterday it was candy wrappers, Today it was dirty socks and a toy knife!! Also TP to H who keeps saying "they're just being kids" um no I would never do that as a kid. I was taught how to behave. Their parents lock them outside so they don't have to deal with them, but that means I have to and its stressing me out because its a matter of disrespect and since H won't address the problem I feel like i'm at my wits end.
@brushesnbrunch my husband is just not that exciteable either. When I took a preg test and it showed up positive, I woke him up to tell him right away. He was more emotional about being woken up early than the positive test. When I told him I was starting to feel movement, he was like, "Oh? Huh." Sigh.
@mamacastro it's just "kids being kids" until your dog has a foreign body and needs surgery that can cost thousands to save its life..... I'd say something to the parents, nicely of course.
TP to the girl who sits next to me in class. She said something racist and very ignorant about Koreans during class discussion. A young Korean man in front of us turns around and looks directly at me and says "don't go hurting my feelings now" (a very nice response considering what the girl had said) I let him know that I didn't say it and the girl next to me stays silent. I looked at her and said you need to apologize and fess up to what you said. She literally looked straight into my eyes and said I didn't say anything. I about lost it on her! She's lucky I didn't punch her in the face.

I have went over there before when they threw rotten lemons from their tree over the fence (the tree was on the opposite side of our yard so I know they didn't just "fall" over the fence) and they pulled the "sorry I don't speak english" card and closed the door in my face. I know that's bull because we've heard the parents fighting with each other in perfect english numerous times. The problem is they don't want to be confronted about their kids

This is all sooooo annoying. I would be so fired up any time I had to deal with them!
I just want to move already, in the year that we've lived here its been non stop with their kids and the parents occasionally. I'm so over it and already telling hubby to find another place to live
TP deployments!!! Husband came home today and said there's a good chance he will be leaving 1 November... Meaning not only will I be huge pregnant alone, but it's a possibility he could miss our baby girl's birth! It's still not for sure and he's trying to get them to commit to sending him home by 1 Feb, but still...
The sucky thing is, if he doesn't go now it will be 1 July, so I'd be alone with an infant and he'd miss some important stuff in her first year. Boo.
I would rather him be gone while I'm pregnant than when she's here, but him potentially not making it back in time before I go into labor (what if it's early?) makes me nervous...
TP to my husband and his stupid name suggestions. We found out we're having a girl (yay!) and after telling me multiple times that it might actually be a boy (because that's so helpful), he just repeats over and over that he likes the name Hayden. I know you like that name because you say it at least 5 times a day. I hate that name and the more you bring it up, the more I hate it. Please stop saying that you like that name because I'm about the just sign the birth certificate without you

My problems are so trivial. I hope everything works out for you!
Big TP goes out to security check at LAX for making me wait over 15 minutes to get my requested pat down (instead of the XRay body scan) at a nearly empty terminal. And an extra special TP to the TSA agent that sighed and rolled her eyes at me when after ten minutes of standing there quietly, I finally asked when someone would be coming to do my pat down (at which point no one at all was in line.) She did it herself no a few minutes later. So sorry my pregnancy is such an inconvenience to you! I have a flight to catch!

I had a similar experience at DTW. No one in line. She was like "you may have to wait a minute..." And I politely said that was fine. It was not a minute. Not sure why they're so bitter. Luckily they were super nice at SFO on my way back!
TP to my SO's friends who will not leave. I got home from work to them playing lifesize Jenga outside. Figured they'd be here for an hour. It's now been two and one just went and got a 6-pack. Seriously, dudes. I had a long day. I get that you may not want to go home to wives and kids but this is not the place for you right now. I want to open the window and start blasting Closing Time.

Ahh you guys are making me dread flying to Pheonix on Tues. I'm already super nervous

I've flown about ten times while pregnant (mostly LAX and MSP) and have never had a problem or had to wait more than a minute for a pat down. Fingers crossed you get lucky, too!
