I feel SO needy. Like I just crave attention from my husband. I'm not a touchy-feely, obsessive girl, so I'm blaming pregnancy. I know it's not rational and it's not like he ignores me. He's just busy. Ugh. I hate feeling this way. I feel like it's so stereotypical.
Also I've missed maybe three days worth of nightly ice cream since I had my first BFP. I still feel nauseous, but I can always stomach ice cream.
I'm with you @christac1010 I find myself wanting my H to tell me how awesome I am for carrying our kids, and how much he appreciates it and how proud of me he is.
He seriously does so much for our family, like cooking all the meals, caring for DD just as much as I do, working hard all day. He's no slacker by any means but I want special treatment!
Add me to the needy train! I feel like I often won the jackpot when it comes to husbands. He's seriously the best, and I feel like telling him that all the time. Pregnancy makes me mushy in a weird way. And any time he acknowledges me being a mother, I get kind of weepy. It's so weird, and I really hate crying.
Might be wrong thread but whatever.....My kid might have pinworms (butthole worms) ffs. Last thing I need right now is to deal with ass worms, like no thanks, and apparently if I catch it, which is likely as dd is always all over me, I can't take anything to deal with them because of pregnancy.
I am the exact opposite. I just want my H to leave me alone and everyone else for that matter. If he didn't speak to me for the next 3 months, I think I'd be fine with that. I'm a terrible person.

Not a terrible person at all! I was the same way the first time around. It'll fade, trust me.

I think there's a cream you could use on your butt if you do catch it, I believe it's OTC, but I have no idea if it's safe for pregnancy. At any rate, that seriously sucks. I'm sorry, and I hope it isn't pinworms/
@mudderbear anddddd now I feel itchy and am off to check my kid's butt. Yuck. Sorry you have to deal with that!
I'm +1 on the needy train in that I'm like "VALIDATE ME!" I legit texted him a picture of my grocery savings today and was pissed when he wasn't super impressed and didn't congratulate me on a job well done (Dude. I did a glucose test today then hit the grocery store with a 15 month old and still saved your ass $36). But at the same time I'm +1 on the "omg don't touch me" side too.
Ever since I found out that we're having another girl, I've been fantasizing about having 2 more so we can be like the March family in Little Women, minus all their tragedies. I could be a real life Marmee!!! 1) this tells you how much of a book nerd I am and 2) my poor, poor husband if we have 4 girls and no boys. There's absolutely nothing wrong with girls and I know he'd be perfectly happy (and obviously I would be thrilled!), but he would just love to have a son at some point!
So DH's good friend (whom I completely love) is celebrating a big birthday in Vegas this year. DH is waffling on going, mainly because it is very close to when baby is expected to arrive. I will probably be induced again but it is within days of the induction date. My FFFC is that I really don't care if he goes. I'd love him to be here and I know he wants to be but I am fine with doing it on my own. DH is wonderfully supportive and a great husband, it would obviously be easier with him here because we have other kids as well. On the other hand his friend was just diagnosed with cancer and has always been so kind to me and to our children, I don't want my husband to regret not spending this time with him should anything happen. I have my mom and dad to help. I'm not too worried about it lol.
I have been sick all week and I am unapologetically whiny and bitchy. I feel fine but mynose is all stuffed up and today I started losing my voice. I have a hair appointment later today and I always hate awkwardly sitting in the chair not talking, but looks like that will happen today.
I was so tired of people not being able to tell I'm pregnant (even my OB commented on it this morning: "you're concealing it really well, but you're measuring right on track for your 7th month!"), I bought a couple of Halloween pregnancy shirts with the outline of a ribcage and a skeleton baby inside to wear on our babymoon to Chicago. The front desk guy at the hotel was immediately like, "Oh congratulations! We'll put you on the top floor in a corner suite!" and I was just like, "Yesssssssssssssss, finally."
my give no F's/flame away confession is that i had a OB appointment today at 1 so I left work at 12:45 under the guise of "i'll be checking emails after appointment" but instead i got a mani/pedi & my eyebrows threaded. No cares because I was starting to feel like a cavewoman.
Also +1 for the needy train. and the mushy train. my fiancee travels a lot, a lot, a lot for work and it really just UGH sucks.

@nolemama24 DH travelled a lot when I was pregnant with DD and while I handled it well prior when I was pregnant anytime he left/called/text me while gone I would sobbbbbb. It's been better the few times he's travelled this time but I think I've just been too busy with toddler stuff to miss him much when he goes.
@katesmama0706 girl yes. sometimes I sob. Sometimes I get angry. He often is out traveling & is gone four weeks at a time (contractor for Air Force). It's hard to not feel kinda disconnected ya know? Luckily he is transitioning into a position by December that will stop the long travels.

Add me to the needy train too! Every time I 'complain' about the 2yr old never ever giving me any personal space (like hands on my boobs down the shirt, laying literally on top of me when trying to cuddle in bed etc) my husband just chuckles and says 'Reminds me of someone!' because I have been basically physically touching him for like 4weeks now LOL.
@Teach123 oh no I'm sorry!! Apparently the trick to finding them is checking when they are sleeping....not as easy as you'd think. But either my kid hasn't been asleep long enough or she doesn't have it. I'll creep in her room again at first pee

Do the tape test. Put tape over her bottom before bed it will catch them if they're there and then you don't have to keep sneaking in and risk waking her
I am so needy as well, I have been struggling with pretty bad gas pains and lightning crotch and every time it hits I just want my DH to acknowledge how uncomfortable pregnancy is for me haha. He is so supportive and an amazing husband, it is just funny how we expect our partners to react and act in the exact ways we want without communicating what we want!

As SOON as you mentioned having two more girls I IMMEDIATELY thought about Little Women. That was my favorite book growing up, I've read it so many times! Lol
