I despise Donald Trump with every fiber of my being. He's a hateful, narcissistic, fear mongering peice of shit and I hope he loses this election in a landslide. Phew! Felt good to get that off my chest!
I had to wake up and go to work 2hrs earlier than I usually do today and I couldn't function when I got there so I broke down and had a cup of coffee, 10oz to be exact, and I feel really bad about it but I missed coffee SO MUCH!!
I haven't been taking my prenatals every day. They are so big and the thought of having to swallow them makes me gag. I have my intake appointment today and I'm going to ask if there is something else they can recommend.
We're part of a brand new suburb, so we've always got new houses popping up around us and new neighbors moving in. I've yet to go and introduce myself to any of them.
@howdthathappen I've forgotten mine more than I'd like to admit! I was better at taking them before I was KU! They make my stomach kind of queasy so I take them before bed instead of in the morning so I don't notice. I put mine by my sink in the bathroom finally this week because I was like this is ridiculous, I need to remember them!
@dubcompanion none of my neighbors talk to each other in my neighborhood and it makes me so sad! We moved into our house last October and I was so excited to have neighbors! But most of ours have older kids or their kids have already moved out so we are kind of the odd ones out, but we are cool! We can hang with people older than us! I guess I could also make an effort.... But after living there almost a year, I guess it'd be weird now lol
@howdthathappen Like the PP said, there are gummies you can take. You can get them pretty much anywhere. The only thing is that I don't think any prenatal gummies include iron. Last pregnancy, I had to take an iron supplement.
I already picked my double stroller. The thing is that we babywear almost all of the time but I am a gear junkie and I want one anyway.

I was on a flight from hell the other day. The couple next to me was obnoxious on numerous levels but the lady next to me started puffing on an e-cig or something while we were flying. Including a cloud of obvious whatever she breathed out. I turned to her and said, "You can't vape on airplanes." "I'm not vaping." "I just saw you." "It's not a vape so it's okay." "Whatever it is, it's still stuff for other people to breathe." I was just about to suggest we ask the flight attendant if it was okay (she was doing this specifically when they were still seated and couldn't see her). I don't know or care about the specific details of all of the electronic things people puff on these days. I just don't want to be trapped next to some idiot on an airplane puffing on one. Especially considering how things are going with exploding vape batteries. Then she snapped, "Well if it bothers you, I can put it away." "It does. That would be great, thanks."
Then her douchebag husband made some comment that I ignored about how it's no different from people farting.
The funny irony is that I had pregnancy-induced gas the entire way there. I don't think they smelled particularly bad but I took a specific delight with every time I farted. This one's for you jerks. So was that one.

@AverageAsh What do you use to babywear with a newborn? (Brand/Style) I want to buy something to do this but I don't know where to start! I've already picked out a jogger stroller...but I want to babywear a lot of the time too!
@AverageAsh my double stroller came in last week I was also big on baby wearing until DD was around 6 months, but it's so pretty! Side note, I got it off Amazon Warehouse, so it was open box but over $100 off for a brand new stroller!
@Kiki75 I'm love-titting your vengeance farts, but I would be livid. I commend you for not starting a war with the couple (that's the smart thing to do) but I would have made their flight a living hell. "Oh, it's no different than farting? Funny story-"

I know you asked someone else this question, but I'm chiming in to share that we have a Boba 4G and we absolutely love it. There's a newborn insert than can be worn when baby is tiny and then removed when they get bigger. The carrier can also be used into toddlerhood and we still use it from time to time with our 2 year old if we're traveling or something. I've never had any issues with back pain. The Boba doesn't get as much hype as the Tula, but I highly recommend it!
FFFC: The only person out of my family and DH's family I'm not excited about announcing the pregnancy to is my MIL. Last year, right before I was planning on going off BC, my MIL was telling me how excited that my BIL was potentially getting engaged to his then girlfriend (they are engaged now, but he didn't even have a ring at the time). She then went on to say "I know that even if no one else will give me grandchildren, she will. She wants kids." I literally wanted to slap her. I hadn't told her DH and I were going to start trying and at that very moment, I decided I was never going to. She can be a little selfish, but normally pretty good about stuff. With this, she has just gotten so self absorbed.
Since my BIL and his GF got engaged, my future SIL has made it clear she wants kids but will wait a few years before trying. Either way, my MIL has non stop been talking about my future SIL's uterus -like every time I see her. Even DH has gotten pretty annoyed with it. I know she's just excited to one day be a grandmother, but there are times I seriously want to strangle her. We have a long weekend planned with them in a month. I told DH that if we get bad news at the US appointment before the trip and I'm stuck all weekend listening to her, I will check her. This has been going on for almost a year. I'm so done.
Maybe this should have been a Monday B*tchfest post....

@AverageAsh I think you'll use the double, especially during the summer months. The older one will get to the point that they want up and down a million times. What striker did you decide on?
Sitting at work with my DD watching TV and eating the best sushi right now from my favorite place that I never get cuz its close to work but not home... I eat the sushi, drink the coffee, don't heat the lunch meat and never part from the soft cheeses.
@SienaC That's me exactly! My coworkers and I have been watching videos on YouTube because we have no desire to work.
@BelcherEars Girl...I will say a prayer for you. I know what it means to have a MIL that you want to punch in the face. I hope everything goes ok with your US and you can share happy news with your family.
@NurseMama I'm butting in on your convo with @AverageAsh since I just got one too and I am nosey. I just got the City Select and it's amazeballs!! There are 16 different configurations and both seats are weighted to like 50lbs. I may be in love with my new stroller!
@AverageAsh Does baby wearing help much? My first daughter is born a day after yours so they are pretty much the same age and was wondering what your plan was with two.

I have my intake appointment today. I already told the boss I have to leave early but I didn't say what time. I think i'm going to leave now and wander around Target first.
This is a sad one, lol. My toddler totally rolled out of my bed last night. I wasn't even trying to cosleep in my bed, just so effing tired I fell asleep before I could transfer him. He rolled over and his heavy brace pulled him off the bed. Doh! Mother of the year over here.
TMI, but I was craving fried eggs so badly and finally caved and had them at lunch. Almost immediate shitting followed. Like, I was squeezing my cheeks together on the walk back to the office. Needless to say, I'm over the eggs.
@SienaC girl, don't get me started!! I love them all:) my favorites for new babies are the Solly or a ring sling. The Solly is super breathable and it let my LO be more comfortable.

@NurseMama the Graco modes duo. It's as long as a limo but it has ALL THE FEATURES. I liked our last Graco a lot.

My confession: I see all these people missing the disallowed foods and I am not feeling bad whatsoever that I am having it all! I don't drink, obviously, and I limit my coffee to one in the morning. Other than that, everything in moderation.

My confession is I probably haven't gone a 9 month stretch without drinking since I STARTED drinking. This occurred to me and my best friend the other day and we were like damn.... That's pretty crazy/sad haha! It'll actually be a welcome break, no hangovers for a year+ yes pleeeeease! But being pregnant in the summer when an ice cold margarita would be perfection is rough. And football season with all the beer drinking. Winter will be better I think! I swear I'm not an alcoholic
I definite still drink coffee, eat basically anything I want. Pretty sure the last listeria outbreak was either in ice cream or on apples...I just don't see the sense in some of the old food advice.
My husband has literally zero idea of what pregnant women can/can't do. I already told him about the litter box and now I'm kind of looking around my house, getting all sorts of ideas...

Toilets! Tell him bleach is a nono and you can't clean bathrooms.

@longliveregina I was tempted to tell DH this, but I've seen how he cleans toilets - not cleanly enough! If I want it done right, I need to do it myself. Womp womp.
