My DH did the opposite....we had Harvey's take out the other night and he knows I love poutine, which I crave (so so so bad for you), so he brings one home...and I'm trying my absolute best to resist. He doesn't know how hard I'm trying not to eat that because I haven't told him. Well sure enough its in my face and I devoured it. Soooo I had to have a conversation on what I'm trying to avoid because I have zero will power.
Now I hope I didn't just cause myself some future misery per your story!? Yikes!
Has anyone ever gotten just ONE car seat but TWO bases for each car? If so, is there a certain way to go about ordering a second one?
Late to the game, but we bought one infant seat and a he convertible seat.
I agree with the person who said the infant seat can be installed safely (and super easily) with a seat belt.
We opted for the convertible bc it was cheaper than a base and we were going to use it for longer.
However, fast forward to real life: My son is only ever in my car or my parents. If my husband is going somewhere with him, he just uses my car instead. So, maybe I should delete all I wrote...
@justkeeptrying I don't want to jump on the DH bashing bandwagon, but that's total bullshit. I hardly think consuming ice cream during pregnancy is making a bad choice. Stop resisting those urges and indulge when you want. Pregnancy is such a short period of time in comparison to the rest of your life, so enjoy it. Please don't feel bad. You are not abnormal and you are definitely not making bad decisions by eat ice cream.
@mdfarmchick, I honestly don't even know if he feels bad. Maybe I was immature but I told him to just leave me alone when he came to talk to me later. I couldn't look at him I was so upset. He ended up sleeping on the couch (voluntarily). He left for work this morning and we haven't spoken. He's not one to apologize first, like ever, so I'm hoping this doesn't last long. But I'm also not prepared to just drop it without an apology.
@DDRRT1982, I agree. I am trying to watch my weight gain since I'm starting this weight so much heavier and I gained a lot with my son. So I can understand that he's trying to help me in that respect. But honestly, 1 ice cream in over a week is not unreasonable!!!! But he's on his own diet right now and is on this major health kick. So his words came out very "high and mighty" to me. So frustrating!!!
@notthefather I appreciate your Franco gif...he is a fave.
@justkeeptrying is his own diet stalling? Just being devil's advocate, but that may be some of his frustration. I feel like that a real jackass response to a little ice cream. You're carrying his child. You get all the ice cream.
@cford08, no! He's doing fantastic!! He's been working out and dieting/counting calories for about 6 weeks now and he's lost about 15lbs!!! Which I'm super jealous of how easily he's losing it. I'm very proud of him and I've told him this several times!! He's not even overweight. He's just toning and building muscle. He weighs less than me now (excuse me while I go sob).
@justkeeptrying ugggghhhhh I’m so sorry. You are totally allowed/able to have ice cream! (I mean I ate way too many Halloween candies yesterday AND ice cream so you’re doing better than me!) And I feel you on the jealously/frustration about husbands dieting. My husband has basically always weighed the same or slightly less than me (he’s thin) and he can whip himself into shape with a quickness. It’s so annoying.
@justkeeptrying cookies, ice cream, chocolate, you name it, if I’m craving it I have such a difficult time not caving, especially after nothing sounded good for 16 weeks so I basically ate nothing that entire time! I’m trying to be better for weights sake, but if it’s the only thing that sounds appealing....
@chasingroygbiv, I'm trying really hard second trimester because I know I ate poorly during first. I get terrible MS and carbs and junk food are all I want. So I'm trying to really watch myself now. But I still think the odd ice cream is okay!!! Come on!!
@justkeeptrying that's crazy!! I'm sorry he did that. Sometimes husbands just don't get it... I ate an ice cream sandwich (maybe two lol) everyday the last two month of my first pregnancy. It was all I wanted and I looked forward to that daily. This pregnancy the sweet tooth is unreal!!!
I definitely think that there's nothing wrong with ice cream. My OB's office is almost right next to a Dairy Queen so last pregnancy I would bring home three blizzards after every appointment, one for me, one for DH, and one for DD. My DH loved when I had my weekly appointments because that meant that he got weekly blizzards haha. He was super bummed when I became lactose intolerant because that meant he wouldn't be getting weekly blizzards (he wasn't the only one bummed) but he's now on a diet and works out like crazy and is all about eating protein rich foods so maybe it would have been different. My long rambling point is that you're allowed to indulge and asking for ice cream is definitely not grounds for a lecture!
@justkeeptrying ...I am speechless. My SO likes to eat healthy, and prefers for me to hide junk food. He has no willpower. But when I tell him I'm craving some something ( @nancysimp poutine!!), he generally respects that. You have every right to be upset. You are a grown woman, and don't need to be lectured.
@justkeeptrying I'm sorry that's shitty. My H did have a conversation with me as well about how I need to be making better dietary choices right now (ie - water vs juice)....and he will call me out on things when I'm just being indulgent but anytime I've had a real craving - he hasn't said a word.
Thanks ladies! I appreciate your support! I'm sure he was just having a crappy day, but I'm really hurt that he took it out on me like that. Plus, now we aren't speaking. So it's totally ruining today for me too. I'm trying to keep my mind elsewhere so I don't lash out at him. I'm cleaning and taking my anger out through scrubbing. This house is going to be spotless.
He just better apologize tonight. He sucks at stepping up and apologizing first. But I feel strongly this time that I really didn't do anything wrong and he needs to say sorry. I'll apologize after for anything I did to hurt him. But he needs to initiate this one.
@justkeeptrying nothing like a good mad cleaning. Heck, want to come do my house?? Ps, stick to your guns. He can suck it up and apologize first. Hugs.
I’m back (if you guys will have me!). I had moved over to the fb group that was formed in hopes of it being easier to communicate, but there aren’t a lot of people on there, and I miss a lot of you regulars.
im going to do my best to catch back up and be active on here!
@justkeeptrying I don’t really have anything to add other than that sucks, even if he was in a bad mood that is just not ok. I am having a bit of the opposite problem, I have been so ill that if I get excited about anything my husband wants to keep getting it for me, and I had to sincerely ask him to stop bringing home ice cream sandwiches every day. Eating healthy is hard anytime, I feel like as long as healthy things are getting in there too no one should have a thing to say about some ice cream, or a whole lot of ice cream with a a side of French fries. eta because of autocorrect
I'm on day one of potty training my 2.5 year old and I've never been more sad that I can't drink.
We got him a fun Elmo potty, some big boy undies with his favorite characters, candy for when he uses the potty, some new books to read while he sits there and he just... won't go on the potty. Like, I legit had him sitting there and 30 seconds after he got up, he peed all over the floor. SO FRUSTRATING.
I feel so terrible! My husband called and wants to take me to the Bruno Mars concert and I can't possibly muster up the energy to go. I have to work all weekend and I spent today out and about with the toddlers. I suggested he take our teenager, but he said that's a concert you take a girl to, lol. What makes it worse is I recently complained about us not doing anything together and the moment he makes an effort I am just too exhausted. This isn't going to help my case the next time I complain.
@cford80 its funny how drool just gathers instantly!! LOL...posted this in the cravings thread seconds after I realized maybe it doesn't belong in randoms...even though this was a random gift. Hahah. Anyhoot, yup it is drool worthy.
It has inspired me to go get a treat somewhere @nancysimp
Also my DH. Seriously. I am so irritated by him right now. He gets like a little kid when he's sleepy and starts doing ridiculous things. He's currently singing all responses to questions. I cannot.
@DDRRT1982 We just went through the same issue. He wanted to take me to my second Maroon V concert, but I just can’t swing it. Plus I must admit I’m a little on edge since the Vegas concert.. Sad to miss it because I LOVE them, but I think I made the right decision.
We made an offer on a home and it was approved! Barring anything crazy, closing date is Nov 28 and closing date for our place is dec 15! Can’t wait! Such a nice school for DS within minutes and it has an in law suite in the basement which will be so perfect for the first few months with the babies so I’m not feeling worried about waking anybody or anything! So excited. Now to continue with the hell that is packing and moving.

DS is sick. And I feel horrible for him. But I haven't slept much the past 3 nights in order to help him. And I'm just praying that I don't get sick. Our anatomy scan is on Thursday and I do NOT want to get sick and have to cancel
I spilled boiling water on my foot while making dinner last night. I ended up having to go to the ER (the plus of all of it was I got to listen to baby on the doppler ) but man.. it really hurts!

Icecream once in a week isn't unreasonable, pregnant or not. I think it's pretty amazing you held off so long. Don't listen to his nonsense.

Congratulations @syssa-o that's such great news!
When I put the potty in my son's stream, he pivots so he can pee on the floor, instead.

https://passthesushi.com/slow-cooker-super-easy-big-batch-chili/ this is my go-to chili recipe! It means what it says when it's called "big batch" so I cut the recipe in half for just my husband and I.
This is my favorite white chicken chili recipe: https://thecookinchicks.com/2014/01/white-chicken-chili-slow-cooker/ which I'm actually eating leftovers of tonight! I always use my slow cooker for chili recipes - my crockpot is my life.
