@WinchesterGirl as an allergy sufferer I feel your pain. Maybe I'm being petty but i def think you should fwd the email with your responses about your allergy to the VP so he/she knows why you aren't in attendance.
Incompetence makes me irrationally angry especially when she went out of her way to ask about restrictions.

@WinchesterGirl I can't wait for them to ask you why you didn't attend so that you can very snarckingly tell them why and they can feel like complete idiots. I'm sorry this happened to you, but it's also a VERY good excuse to not attend.
@WinchesterGirl I totally get it. I went on a business trip for work and let them know ahead of time I had a Gluten Allergy and wasn't eating Delight cause I'm pregnant and they catered in sandwiches for lunch sooooooo I basically didn't eat all day.
@MrsDramaK & @PerraSucia The fact that we have all been put into the exact same situation while at work just proves how much people do not understand food allergies, or at least don't take them seriously. It just sucks that we have to deal with it at work!
One of my biggest fears is that one of our kids is going to get my allergies... DH has no allergies at all, so statistically speaking from what I've read we have only a 33% chance any child will have allergies. But still, this is one thing that I would just feel horrible passing on to a child.
My uncles gf just put my baby's name on Facebook before I even announced it. Why don't people have any common sense? I know I shouldn't be so mad about it but if a couple hasn't posted the name of their baby ANYWHERE on Facebook, what gives someone the bright idea to take it upon themselves to announce for you?
Sorry for the people with allergies and all of the problems that persist because of ignorant people. I know I will always make sure to be careful with dietary restrictions now and in the future.
@LivingLaVidaGinger why do people do stuff like that? I will never understand.

@imalwaysme79 Ha! I'm almost done! I hope you have fun!!
@lct2008 we are going to Mountain View, Arkansas for some " camping" and the Annual Outhouse Races and Bean Festival! We go every year with my family to see the leaves change. It should be fun :-)
Good morning. Baby did NOT appreciate breakfast. I got a kick in the stomach so perfectly placed I got to run to the bathroom to give it right back up. Guess all the more reason for elevensies consisting of blueberry pancakes and syrup ^_^
@LivingLaVidaGinger you have every right to be upset about it. it's not their place at all. I'm going to try really really hard to not post anything about my kids on social media. I've heard some pretty scary stories of people stealing their identities by gathering info you post about them.
@LivingLaVidaGinger ugh.... time for a conversation about social media privacy. i had one with my family about talking about the pregnancy, and will most def have another before the baby comes. why do people EVER think its ok to share other people's news?
i am a very private person and i expect them to respect that. they've been good about it so far. i'm a bit worried about pics showing up after the baby comes, but i'm hoping for the best. i hope your family gives you the same courtesy.
Yeah social media stuff is insane lately. We never did a FB announcement. It never seemed like the right time, we weren't that into it, and then so much time passed that it seemed too late. We just told people as we saw them. Well, anyway, fast forward to my shower last weekend and I have been tagged in over 30 shower pictures before I even get home. I got a lot of messages from people I hadn't seen in awhile who didn't know I was pregnant and I feel like a total a-hole about it.
@Xstatic3333 I hear you on the late announcement! We decided to announce at 26w and it felt super late to us too (and admittedly we are nervous that somehow we jinxed ourselves even now), but in reality it's *your* choice. We've all witnessed here that things can happen at any time, even being passed the magical 12w marker. I'm sorry that you being tagged in pictures made things so awkward. You shouldn't feel like an asshole, you had no way of knowing that people would tag you in things behind your back and spill the beans for you. I hope no one gave you too hard of a time about it
Thank you @PerraSucia. One year a whole week went by and I didnt know the time changed. Apparently I was in a cave with only my iPhone that automatically adjusted the time.
It wasn't too bad @yogadevil. I felt worse than anyone was actually mad at me. I may post pictures of us in our cheesy Halloween shirts (skeletons, baby in my belly and beer in his) on Monday to make it official. Thanks for commiserating though!
@Xstatic3333 We still haven't done a social media announcement either. DH doesn't want to do anything until a birth announcement, so as we see people in person they find out. Or, some may find out with a baby shower invite over the next couple of months.
My niece (early 20s) announced DS's birth on FB before I had even seen him. He was in the NICU and I wasn't stable enough to leave my bed until the next day and DH took everyone who came to the hospital to the NICU to meet DS before I did. So they all had pictures and she posted a pic of him and her and a pic of him and her friend. I was devastated at the time but blamed it on hormones. But thinking back I think I might say something preemptively this time. It was very hard emotionally to have everyone go see my new human before me. But at the same time, its good that my little guy was never alone. I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy.
@ohstars I agree with PP that wasn't hormones I'd be really pissed if someone did that. I don't think I'd be ok with anyone but DH seeing the baby before me.

That was SO rude of her.

@LivingLaVidaGinger That sucks! Did you tell him to take it down? That is 100% not cool, and makes me feel like the grinch of baby names.
