@alwaysadventure It only has to be $10. My sister bought me gender neutral socks and the got delivered today. Once it's shipped then you can order the welcome package. I'm having a problem with mine where it's trying to charge me for some reason but I'll get it figured out. Apparently the stuff they send in said package is random. I'm hoping for a bottle of prenatals. I live for free/dirt cheap prenatals.
I've got another FFFC: my husband is going to a Nascar race in Bristol, TN on Sunday with his dad. His dad can't drive (some issue with his license that he just doesn't feel like correcting) so his stepmom is driving him to my house, staying there all day until they get back so she can drive him home. I'm a little put off because 1) Stepmom is a nice lady and I get along with her just fine but WTF am I going to do with her all day? We can't go anywhere because a tech from our internet provider is coming on Sunday to fix my internet. I have chores to do and it's going to be super awkward having her sitting on my couch while I clean my house. 2) The poor woman is going to be bored with nothing else to do besides watch tv and be on her phone IF the internet gets fixed. I legit feel bad that she's being inconvenienced this way as I'm sure she's rather spend her Sunday at her own house.
I would never let my H turn me into his person chauffeur. There's no way.

Legit question. I thought Zika was only an issue in the first trimester? And for men only a problem if he is planning on knocking up his partner in 6 weeks?
I can't remember most of what I read. dammit. We have a joint acct. I am going to get a spray tan thanks to you all. I want my sex drive to increase, I didn't have one while KU with DD

i get FOMO when i login and find 4+ pages in some of these threads. i am on west coast and can't get on bump all the time, so i just end up not posting as much on the big convos
also, the religion thread yesterday made me feel very uncomfortable! i am not uptight and usually have no trouble talking politics/religion/etc. but something about that one....
My daughters allergist wants her to try Nutella. She has tested positive to most "tree nuts" but hazelnut was very minimal. She wants me to start introducing it into her diet.
I bought some finally, but all I've done with it so far is eat spoonfuls out of the jar.
Yeah I don't want to go to work tonight and I have zero sympathy for the fussy ER patients who are not having a real emergency... I just want to tell them to suck it up and I probably feel worse then any of them do
I'm making blueberry muffins right now Because of DDs allergies she is currently instructed to eat something with baked egg in it everyday to build up tolerance...so we constantly have baked goods in the house now.
Man, I wish I had time during the day to keep up with you ladies! I can't wait for summer (6 more weeks!) when I can actually participate more and be part of the cool kids' club.
I found out yesterday that hubs' uncle found someone else to watch his kids this summer, and I was super excited. Hubs is disappointed but I am totally not...even though we could use the extra money. I had to leave so I could call a friend and be excited about it...I love the kids, but...my own are enough right now.
@soprano19. Spring break was a nice taste of being able to bump during the day! Summer will be awesome! We have 9 more weeks though since we start after labor day.
I have a woman crush on my OB. The other Dr's can take a hike because it's like a battle to get anywhere and I just end up even more stressed after I talk to them. But this one, I just love her. She called me after hours tonight to help me figure out what else I can do for headaches. She actually listened and tried to find a solution with me, where the others just blow it off and say sorry, you'll just have to deal. Can you be best friends with your OBGYN? Because I want to be lol

This was our first week back after spring break and I'm already ready for summer. I still have two major festivals, a fundraiser, and a concert before the end of the year... sigh. Plus my kids perform at graduation.

Good idea I don't know why the nuts freak me out so bad. Her egg numbers are off the charts, much worse than the nuts, but she's been doing fine with the baked eggs. Gahhh allergies.
lol @sjohns08 either @carries2018 or @myelhsa is right there with you, I remember one of them talking about her ob crush
My woman crush is Blake Lively. I want to be bffs with her.
eta because tag fail
Might have been me. I have a total crush on mine. We happen to share a lot of the same interests and I always feel like I need to tone it down in conversations lest it appear like I'm trying suuuper hard to impress her.
I feel like i need to flame myself for this confession. DH and I haven't done the deed since around when we conceived this one. Between being sick 1st trimester and now the stress of moving, i just haven't been in the mood. I need to force myself to get in the mood or we're going to forget how this works lol.
Flame away!!
No flame here! We've only done it once and he was scared of breaking the baby the whole time so he wants to wait before we go again. Now to figure out a way to seduce him those rare times I'm super in the mood

We are trying baked egg and peanut challenges this summer. I think it'll be fine. He was negative for ovomucoid protein allergy which is the protein that remains after baking.
Glad she doing good with the eggs!

@sjohns08 I totally would be BFFs with my OB. She always asks about my girls and what is New in their dance life. I mean I've been seeing her for 11 years now so we're totes more than the friend zone. I did friend the nursing assistant I always see in the office and does my triage work when I go in, on FB. So halfway there haha!
@purplestarz Nutella is LIFE. I've not given it to DS yet for one reason only (and not because of palm oil) I'm afraid he'll actually love it as much as I do and I won't have it all to myself lol I can't have anything in peace anymore, except Nutella, that is all mine I buy the biggest jar. If I get the small jar then it goes in the fridge and I shave the Nutella deliciousness from the jar spoon by spoon. God I love it.

I hate that work has been so busy this week! I feel so out of the loop.
DH and I share bank accounts. It was very important to use when we got married and we're both very involved in budgeting. We used to have issues because he would try to be too controlling but we were able to work through that.
We have tried to have sex once since conceiving and I made him stop because it hurt so bad. I wish I could suck it up because it very obviously bothers him even though he says he understands.
Sort laundry? Hahahahaha
Now I'm reading everyone's SNs backwards to see if they have any encrypted meanings.
Yay for loving all your OBs! I can't imagine being stuck with one I was just eh about, but I know people who have been in that situation. I work with mine, so when I go all we do is gossip and gripe about work. Good times!

I have I giant crush on my OB. Today my appointment wasn't with her but she rode the elevator with me. Zomg I was trying so hard to keep my cool. She asked when my next appointment with her was. Within a millisecond I blurted out "July 13!" Damnit carries2018 play it cool! At least glance at your paper of 12 appointments. But anyways she knew the sex bc she said she saw me on the schedule and looked at my file bc she needed to know...so you could say things are getting pretty serious.
I love my OB too, she's a cute little blonde hair woman and I'm pretty sure she gets just as excited as we do during the sonograms and such. She's so sweet and her nurse is AMAZEBALLS!!!!
General practitioners deliver low risk pregnancies here, but due to some complications, I was also followed by an OB and I love her!!! She a tiny firecracker! She's actually the mother of a couple former students of mine. I've seen her a few times since, for gyn issues and I got super excited to see her again! I may need a section this time and I'm really hoping that I can request her!
My next appt in a week is my first with my CNM, whom I love! She's an older lady and has the most calming voice and relaxed demeanor. My anxiety goes away after two minutes talking to her.
My laste FFFC: we went to two birthday parties on Sunday and one of the loot bags was so awesome and toddler age appropriate. DS loved it. Now I feel competitive to produce better loot bags at DS's party in a month because my life is sad and I have no real life goals to get ambitious over.
@migdala and @TallMomma29 Same situation here but I voiced these fears to DH and he made me a document with all of our accounts listed and passwords to all the important accounts. I was way too involved in my mom's finances growing up, I had absolutely no interest and DH is really really good at it. We make up a monthly budget together and he updates a spreadsheet telling me how we're doing on the budget throughout the month. It works for us!
