My cat is more interested in claiming the hiding spot under the crib. She's been locked in the nursery a few times because of it. My dog, on the other hand, is obsessive about the baby, to the point where she will try and physically shove herself between my husband and me if he is in her "spot" next to the baby bump and stare him down if he doesn't move. She appears to feel that she is more entitled to baby bump time than he is. I'm wondering how she will react when he's actually here.
I know it's annoying, but the bit about your dog made me smile. My dog is the same way, loves to sleep with her head against the bump!
Here's my WTF - why would you sell a glider/ottoman set, tell me it's still available, give me your phone number and instructions to call when I'm on my way to pick it up, and then not answer your phone or call back? Back to square one on finding a glider.
Lol i actually think it's pretty adorable when she cuddles the bump. She just gets this frantic look on her face when she can't get close enough to hear him. I call her Nurse Ruby.
Mine came in near the end of the day...my parents (who live 30 min away and thus we are relying on them when baby comes to watch DS and help get the dogs to doggy care) decided they wanted to take a vacation at the beginning of May (the 4th - 10th). My mom did call and ask but really emphasized if it was ok for them to miss Mother's Day with us. So I said yeah, no biggie. Then one hour later I realized....May 10th is only 2 weeks before my due date. DS came early (38 w 4 d - after 1 day of labor), and this one is measuring two weeks ahead, so then I started to freak out. They already have booked the trip in that one hour's time!!!
So it turned into a big fight because when DS was born they also had a scheduled trip and flew out to NYC the day after he was born (which they deny which is ridiculous but whatever). We didn't have another kid so it wasn't as big of a deal, but they offered to be the help this time. My mom kept saying she wouldn't move the trip up because the weather could be worse (they are going to Oregon) and what if they baby came three weeks early? Then the problem wasn't solved at all.
After crying a lot and talking DH we ask our friends, who agree right away to help if something does happen where I go into labor early. Of course after that my parents call to say they will cancel the trip (WTF, why at this point when you were so mean about it?) We said to forget about it; our friends agreed to help and I didn't want to hear about it if the baby doesn't make an appearance during those dates. I don't want to feel guilty about you missing a vacation at this point. So they agree.
Just got a text 30 min ago saying they cancelled it. >:[
I'm grateful but worried now that I won't hear the end of it if baby doesn't come early.
That sounds like something my mom would do... sour grapes-ing it up
