  • I'll go. DH's friend who is getting married in April. I love you, man, but WHY does your bachelor party have to be a 4-day cruise?

    The last several of his friends to get married have had to to blowout trips for their bachelor parties. First, money. Ever heard of saving it? Second. I have a kid, with another on the way, I'd like my husband to be around to help.

    I said he can go, I can handle things just fine and I'm not going to be that witch who says no, but why doesn't anyone do a one-night bach party anymore?? 

    Bonus, DH told me "I didn't even ask you about the after party in Orlando ;)" -- an afterparty. After a 4-day party.

    I cannot wait for these childless mofos to experience the joy that is babies/children. I'm going to laugh so hard at them.

    Nonsensical. Why not put that money towards an amazing honeymoon? Yeezus.
    This guy in particularly is doing very, very well for himself and has a fairly disposable income. I'm sure his honeymoon will be amazing. But the other friends who are all going along with this, not so much. And they all have to shell out their share.

    I just don't get it. They'll talk to each other and drink a lot. They can literally do that anywhere. Come to my basement and have your bachelor party for god's sakes. It's just such a waste.

    I'd tell him don't even fucking think about it.
    He can go. On the cruise, not the after party. I've gone on a couple bachelorette weekends myself, but mine have been at the nearby beach and at a cabin. Nothing too expensive.

    I don't mind us each taking a little time away for stuff like this, but 4 nights and a cruise is getting excessive. Thankfully there are very few single friends left, and the ones remaining will not have the money to pull this shit. Last hoorah, buddy.

    To the people who keeps telling us that my DH and I should do all the research for car seats/strollers and they will just buy what we buy...

    NO.. how about you just help out and we can tackle this together? 

    Guess what my DH is doing anyway? creating a spreadsheet and sharing it with them. It's great for me since I don't have to do the research but I really dont want to share with people who expect us to do it. I am not happy about that

    Wait, friends who are currently expecting also? Or who plan to have kids down the road? Either way, stupid. But especially if they're not expecting right now...what you pick will likely be out of date for them. 

    And now that I think more, it's also so dumb if they're expecting now. They don't have any opinions of their own about what they want to buy? That's obnoxious. But very nice of your DH.

  • My sinuses. I've had headaches off and on since last Wednesday, and when I blow my nose since last night I'm seeing blood. I blame the weather. I'm over winter already.
  • My cats for meowing all night... Argh! Let me sleep! 
  • @mandyjulie they are a few weeks ahead of us.

    I know, ALSO we have different priorities when it comes to the strollers! There is a lot more to the overall story but the main gist is that I hate it when people blatantly tell me they are too lazy to do their own research and tell me to do it.

  • My nerves are a twatwaffle today - I had my NT scan this morning and saw the measurement. Stupid me looked it up on Dr. Google who's saying the number is above the average. I wish I wouldn't have seen the number. I know they will use it combined with my blood test to give me the ratio/likeliness but I'm still freaking out. :disappointed:

    THIS. And myself, because I keep looking at the thread when it pops up, even though I know another person rehoming a dog is just going to make me super pissed.

    @MrsRo731 what is the number? I had a higher than normal one last time with DD, and they immediately sounded the alarm right there in the u/s room. Like if they could have had lights flashing, sirens blazing, they would have. They scared the living hell out of us. They didn't even have me get the blood draw part of the test! I went straight to the NIPT...which assured me all was well.

    This is all to say that if your doctor didn't come in and give you a somber speech, your measurement is probably NOT all that bad...

  • The "Man Cold." Because when I was too beat to clean the house one day last week, DH gave me a ton of crap. But he's been whinging all yesterday and today about how crappy he feels... and I'm sure it will Never occur to him that he feels exactly like I did. His is obviously worse. Although I do feel bad for him because it isn't like I have to get up at 3:30am to go to work....

    @mandyjulie - It was 2.5 or 2.6 which I saw isn't really that much above normal. I'm just hating myself right now for even looking it up. The tech didn't say anything at the time so I guess that's a good thing. Thank you so much for your reassuring words. :smile:

  • My ultrasound tech is a twatwaffle. During my 11w2d scan yesterday she asked if we were finding out the sex without harmony results. As soon as I said yes we wanted to know she announced that it was a boy. What?!? I'm only 11 weeks lady!!! So of course my husband is celebrating "his boy" and I fear he will be disappointed now if it's a little lady instead. I think it's super irresponsible to guess the sex of a baby that early.

    Seemingly everyone sucks today.

    My dad called me an asshole this morning for not sweeping some ish my sister pulled last weekend under the rug (he'd only gotten her side, because I was an adult about it and only addressed the issue I had with her). He thinks I'm foolish for wanting an apology, but once I explained why I was so upset he was like "oh yeah, I would be too." Then the butthead never apologized for the way he started the conversation!

  • @serpica - one of my cats would do that EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT.  We close the bedroom door and she meows outside it.  We open the bedroom door and she continues to sit right outside the threshold and meow.  So now both kitties get tucked into bed in the guestroom with treats, food, water, litter box, plenty of toys, and a night light.  At bed time, we just shake the treat bag and they both go running for "their" room. lol.  

    My twatwaffle is my RLP.  I had felt stretching and soreness before, but yesterday on my bus ride home, I felt like I was being stabbed in the groin, and the pains lasted on and off all through the night.  I woke up at least 6 times because of them.  Argh.  

    Also, is anyone else feeling ready for a pregnancy pillow?!  I feel like it is SUPER early, but my stomach feels so uncomfortable at night.  I sleep on my side and I can feel my stomach drooping and the skin stretching tight.  I try to tuck blankets under it to support it, but it doesn't work very well.   Wah.  I'm whiny today. 


  • @marowan yea, I am starting to get uncomfortable laying down on my back and I find myself sleeping on my side more often. Maybe it's time to use my snoogle!

  • My sinuses. I've had headaches off and on since last Wednesday, and when I blow my nose since last night I'm seeing blood. I blame the weather. I'm over winter already.

    Girl- go to the doctor. There is an an antibiotic that is safe to take. At least for me, it was not going away and has taken almost 5 days SINCE starting the meds to feel human.

    I get chronic sinus infections and this was the worst one I have ever experienced. Maybe you're not as bad as I was but if it's not going away I would go to the doctor.
  • @marowan I totally broke out my snoogle the other night. I had been using a pillow between my knees for the past week or so, but my belly started hurting (I thought it was a little early too, but maybe it's because this is my second go), so instead of using yet another pillow, I pulled my snoogle out of the back of my closet.
  • @chanfa Someone randomly suggested a snoogle to me yesterday!  I hadn't even told them about my trouble sleeping, she just said "Oh, and when you're ready, snoogles are amazing!" I will definitely look into one of those.  
  • @marowan YES! Try it out! It gives support between your legs and wraps around your back too. I have to figure out where to put my shoulder though to make it a bit more comfortable

  • The past two nights I've had some serious Restless Leg Syndrome... my DH was like what the mother ef is going on right now cause I could lie still...it was miserable... I've never heard of this being a pregnancy symptom but also rarely get anything like that. No fun... also, I haven't pooped today so I'm extra cranky
  • Mine today is starving but throwing up everything I eat. I'm struggling with that bad and am already on two different anti nausea medicine. I'm really hoping this whole myth of everything getting better in the second trimester is true...

  • @marowan good suggestion it might be time for a cats' room... yesterday we couldn't lock them up in a room because we had a guest, but we have the same problem, meowing in front of the bedroom door f.o.r.e.v.e.r.....

    I'm also thinking of getting a pillow pretty soon... if anyone has recommendations... I'm spending more time sleeping on my side and my arms/hands keep falling asleep because i end up sleeping on them...
