@Kaytee1087 Sending positive vibes to your and your husband that everything is ok. That sounds stressful but hopefully since they don't seem to be too concerned it's just from stress or allergy's or something non serious related to his prior condition!
@ibabyloveb87 That would freak me out a little but I probably wouldn't be able to sleep. My SO is hearing impaired and whenever something does go bump in the night I'm the first to know because he doesn't hear it, our dog could be full on barking and he doesn't notice a thing and that always worries me.

And now a neighbor has posted that a car was broken into last night. The neighborhood is going downhill apparently. And I can't help but think the incidents are related and thank goodness my car was locked! Not that there's much in it...

Haha, anytime I see anything about cars getting broken into, I always feel sorry for the poor soul who breaks into mine. All that trouble and all they'll get is a broken umbrella, approximately 67 half empty water bottles, and a crap ton of wadded-up receipts, most filled with chewed gum or stained with lipstick blots lol.
@LauraPCOS I'm so sorry you're going through this. It seems very fishy to me that they all of a sudden changed the procedure the year you are pregnant. Do you have any suspicions that this was pregnancy related? If so, some research into the pregnancy discrimination act and pointed questioning might help?
Supposedly the procedure changed in January and I announced it in March, but I think my boss told the contract person to apply and was told to keep hush hush but I have absolutely no proof of that.
I applied for an ESL tutor position that is an at home job, and I'll go to the agency next week, but worse case I will start my benefits early and figure out something next year.
I am a day late on my WTF but I had been sitting on it since Saturday anyway. WTF to my mom, who when I was talking about our schedule for the Spring (because she will be my full time child care provider) and said my husband was going to check if he could work from home one day a week so he could stay with the baby that day, said something like "Is he capable?" Um... he better be! He's the daddy! How incompetent would he have to be not to know how to care for his own child by the time it was 3+ months old even?
@RainMira9e That would piss me off too. I don't get this prevailing mind set that men aren't "primary care givers". It's sexist and ridiculous. When people call it babysitting when dad watches the baby... Umm... I believe the word they're looking for is "Parenting".

@RainMira9e that's so funny I was just telling my friend that next summer I might do summer school if I need the money (considering this year's situation) and I already talked to my mom and she said she'll take a couple weeks vacation and my hubby said he has a couple weeks vacation so they can split the month I go to work. My friend just asked if my hubby is capable. I laughed at her and said he'll be fine at that point because the baby will be able to hold its own head, but my hubby is TERRIFIED of little ones where you need to support their head because he's afraid of breaking them. I give him a day and he'll be fine, but ya I'm going to have to kick his ass for the first week!
edit - maybe I should get him to practice cradling the cat??
I think it's crazy that they think women are somehow automatically capable. Um... I have no experience caring for babies, either. I assume I'll pick it up. Hubby and I are on the same level here! I think it's the attitude that men are less capable that makes them so afraid - everyone just assumes *they* will be the ones who drop the baby =(

I totally agree!

In 2014 when FI was laid off from the oil field he stayed home while I worked, and he would get so mad when DS said "Dad babysit us while mom is at at work", he was only 7 and used to having a babysitter so no harm no foul, but FI would frustrated and be like "I'm your dad! Not your babysitter! I'm PARENTING" And on that note, he is exceptionally talented at caring for infants. The Older kids, not so much. He basically just gives them food, water, then sends them to the yard to fend for themselves. Pretty sure they would be feral children if I weren't here to interact with and nurture them... haha
@MRSCORKER thought you'd appreciate this one. I was at the dog park today wearing a tank top because it's 90 degrees and I overhear this woman saying that I must be due soon. A few min later she comes over to me and asks when I'm due. Of course when I say October she goes "wowwwww"

Wtf to everyone who says "is your husband excited that it's a boy?!" He's excited that it's a healthy baby.
People keep asking my husband this and it makes him angry too. He really didn't care, he just wanted a healthy baby. But at the same time, he already has a son from a previous relationship and has ALWAYS wanted a daughter. And I was the one who made the decision to be done having kids after this baby. He wants at least two more. So as happy as he is, he is sad he'll never have a daughter. So this question, irritating as it is to begin with, really rubs him the wrong way.
wtf to my asshole mil. we are at a BBQ and she's in the shade. there are 3 preggos. she looks at me in the sun and goes "must be hot" HOW ABOUT YOU LET ME AND YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER SIT INNTHE SHADE THEN ASSHOLE
Wtf to everyone who says "is your husband excited that it's a boy?!" He's excited that it's a healthy baby.
How about my friend who asked if mine was coming around to the idea of us having a girl... Like its some lesser thing to be having a girl. Seriously?! With all we went through to have this baby, he's happy to have a healthy child.
@ignoscemihi@bnsmith85 People still think so little of men when it comes to children. One of my clients, after I explained that I was pregnant, asked if my husband even wanted kids. I told her that he wants them more than I do! That he wants like 6 more and I'm good with just having one. She seemed so confused and then said something like "Yeah he wants them, but you'd end up taking care of them all." I say that to my kid when he asks for a puppy. Wtf?!
@MRSCORKER We're having a girl and everyone always asks my SO "how do feel about that?", "are you ok with that?", "to bad is wasn't a boy for you sake" etc. and hes always like "i'm happy! I just wanted a healthy baby." I always struggle with trying not to roll my eyes when people say it.
I think the one that got me the most mad was I had a family member who was like "of course you're having a girl, the one thing that could make me more jealous of you being pregnant." I just wanted to be like too bad this isn't about you and me and my baby could care less.
