I'm super pissed because my dh's uncle keeps sending me these bullshit emails. I don't get into politics much, but at Christmas we got into a heated discussion where he could tell I completely disagreed with his political views. He gifted me (and all his grand daughters) a book about world population And why we should limit ourselves to two kids (because that's the responsible thing to do according to him- he has two grown kids And openly admits he never wanted kids) And now he will not stop sending me a boat load of crappy emails trying to get me on board with his beliefs.
I was so LIVID because one of his grand daughter's had a miscarriage only 2 weeks before Christmas. He didn't say anything to any of the boys.
I called him out on it and now he won't stop. He is the only family member I don't get along with. I love my in laws and DHs whole family. They just shrug him off...
He lives far away so thank GOD I only see him once a year...if that.
My belly button just officially popped out...I never thought that would happen given that I had an "innie" that seemed to never end. I now owe my coworker $10 - cause I bet that it wouldn't happen lol.

@belmont1785 I don't understand how people like him cannot understand when to use an effing social filter! Like everyone has different viewpoints and beliefs. Let it go and keep comments to yourself! All of DHs brothers gave a hard time with this and I have put them each in their place more than once over the last 7 years.
@belmont1785 Having someone try to force their views on me would drive me absolutely insane. The whole email thing is weird too; I think that there might be a way to automatically send his emails to the junk folder. I have a cousin who's husband is always trying to force his views on others. I used to speak up more about it, but now, I just ignore his craziness because it helps me keep my sanity and I just don't have the energy to deal with him anymore. It sounds like your DH's family ran out of energy too.
Another random...When I see other pregnant ladies, their bellies look so round. I feel like I have a square child in me because I'm always misshapen. Lol.
@JWatt5@mrsmatt1212 Eek, my belly button is the same - suuuuuper deep, only lately it's not so deep and it freaking me out! I've had a few STM tell me if it hasn't popped by now (34weeks) I'm in the clear....but it's getting less and less deep every day haha. Guess we'll see, I feel like I'll look weird with an outie, so I'd prefer for it not to pop.
My belly button popped like 2mos ago...I was so annoyed.

@caity024 my belly button was a supppppper deep innie, and I can touch the bottom of it now I don't think it will pop all the way, but it does freak me out. Though it's nice to be able to clean it all the way now.

After our town's Independence Day parade, there's a festival in the city park. It's right next door to the library and they have BINGO in the library community room. I assumed the library bathrooms would be open since they had an activity in there. Guess I was wrong as they were telling everyone they couldn't go in them. Until me! The lady looked at me and said, "well, you're pregnant so I'm not turning you away." Thank goodness! Plus, I took DD in with me. The park has a single stall, disgusting bathroom that had a huge line. Chalk up a win for being pregnant.

Both my dogs are wigged out by the fireworks (which, why light off fireworks in the middle of the afternoon?) We're hiding out in the basement until further notice.
@belmont1785 I always think other pregnant people look so cute too (and happy...) meanwhile I feel like I'm usually trying to walk (waddle) through an intense BH and hoping I don't pee myself - def not cute!
Last week I read an article about a mom who saved her baby's life by kick counting and now I've become slightly crazy. With my second pregnancy I never felt any movement at all really so I never really thought about it, but this guy is so active that if he takes longer than a one hour nap I'm starting to get nervous. Hopefully I chill soon or it will be a long six weeks.
@donehue omg same! I read that same article and am also now a paranoid mess. I wasnt stressing too much about the actual number as long as I felt him move regularly but then I had to go and download the Count the Kicks app and worried so much I called and went in for monitoring/NST in Friday. Glad I went so I wouldn't worry about it over the long weekend but all is fine, but hoping I can use the app to be more aware and have actual numbers to go off of but without making it a huge source of stress.
My mom is really pushing for my to go thru with my baby shower this weekend and just have my husband FaceTime me while I am on the hospital. I don't want to, and basically if I don't have it then my sister, niece, nephew, and grandma are going to stay at my house until I have it, but I also don't want to bring the baby home to a house full of people. She is making me feel like a horrible person for wanting to postpone it so I can be at my own baby shower. I even suggested a mini one at the hospital but she didn't want to do that cause my grandma wouldn't get the full effect of my shower then! At this point I feel like to just have it this weekend to make her happy (I don't like making people mad)

@bwing10 I think this is so weird! I was hospitaized for 6 weeks before my twins were born and I was supposed to have a shower 2 days after I was admitted. So we cancelled the shower, everyone came to the hospital and gave gifts. No big deal. How do you hold a shower without the guest of honor present?! I'm so sorry you even have to think about this when I'm sure you have so many other (more important) concerns on your mind! Thinking of you and sending hugs!
My in-laws were in town for our baby shower & 4th of july weekend, in from San Diego. They left yesterday...but I had a disagreement with them for what they did to my DH & I. I was so upset (add on the hormones too) that the day they were leaving, I woke up to work out then went to my parents house for breakfast, then shopped July 4th sales so I didn't have to see them when they left for the airport. My DH had to express to them how hurt I was and that I needed to get away. Hopefully things will mend & mellow out in a few days....way before baby girl comes.
@bwing10 I'm so sorry! That sounds really overwhelming. Do you have any allies that would take your side/ try to reason with your mom?
My husband tried to reason with her but she just felt like we weren't accomodating my family (my grandma, sister, etc.) because they came in from Florida for the shower and she wasn't going to hurt my grandma's feelings by sending her back to Florida before the shower. At this rate the shower won't happen until July 22nd and I don't want everyone at my house when I come home with baby! I feel like I am in a lose lose situation. Mom is also trying to force my husband to go back to work since the doctors are on the fence about inducing today or tomorrow or waiting until the original induction date of July 17th. I just feel like she trying to take everything over and if you tell her she gets offended and starts crying and saying how we don't want her here and she will just go back home (to Florida) ugh...I feel like they are the reason my bp is so high anyways

@bwing10 Can you get DH or someone to be the point of contact between you guys? Honestly, if I were waiting to see if I'm being induced any day now, the LAST thing I'd want is this petty drama about timing of a baby shower. You have better things to worry about and I totally agree that this is not helping your BP at all. Did the doctors tell you a day/time they'll make the decision by? Good luck!!
My random is we finally organized the spare room for Baby! It was kind of overwhelming- Saturday DH and I cleaned out the closets for donations and reorganized our own belongings to make more space. But then I was just staring in the closet with the empty shelves and baskets, and staring at the huge pile of baby clothes and gear on the bed and floor... and DH had the nerve to say "this isn't fun for me." I snapped back, "you think it's fun for me?" But he had to help me otherwise he'd bitch about where everything was later. Sigh. So then Monday while he was at work I laundered 6 months' worth of clothing, blankets and sheets, and put everything away. (That was tiring, my goodness.) Now the spare room isn't nearly as cluttered, Baby has somewhere clean to sleep, and we have easy access to diapers and teeny clothes. It's a win for the time being!
@bwing10 I'd just have the shower option where your husband goes in your place. I would not want to deal with people coming home with baby, or even at the hospital. Sucks you might have to miss out but it's the least stressful option imo.
@bwing10 You and baby are the priority right now. I would do whatever you feel is the best for you two and let anyone else cry and be offended. Your shower shouldn't be a source of stress for you. Be selfish! Be clear that your BP issues are stress-related and that you have to do whatever it takes to reduce stress around you.
@DeansGirl14 I did all the laundry/ closet org on Monday too! I had my shower on Sunday so we got some sheets, clothes etc I knew I would want to wash. Feels good to have it done and everything, but made me realize we really do not have enough sleeper/swaddle/footie things. We had a big pile of clothes, esp hand me downs but they went through 2yrs, so it wasn't as much -need now- as we thought. Good thing I realized it while 4th sales were still going.
DH was out drinking with friends during this-I told him to go out and enjoy one of the last nights he has to really have fun. I need him functional whenever this baby decides to show up!

@smallbutmighty77 I totally agree that husbands need to be functional! The other day mine asked me if I cared if he left the labor/delivery room to eat because he's worried about being supportive while hangry. I'm like, well 1. they have room service and delivery for food but 2. I don't care if you leave to eat. You need to function. Why would I starve the guy? And, we've been actively trying not to be total loafs lately. We were invited a bit last minute to socialize last night and we could have very easily just gone to bed at 9pm and skipped all the fireworks stuff (spent the day with family and were exhausted). But we thought, you know, these are our very last weeks of being spontaneous so we really should go socialize. So we did, and had fun. Life's going to change very shortly!
I had to laugh a little bit today while I was at the dmv today getting my license renewed and the woman asked me if my height or weight had changed. I know she has questions to ask everybody but obviously my weight is different right now!
@britvahok and @SouthernMama15 DH thinks hilarious that I sit like a dude. I can't sit comfortably with my legs closed.
