I built our crib with minimal help from DH (hand me that, hold this) 8 months pregnant with DS. Wasn’t bad. He got the box into the room though. But I’m the builder of all things in our house. Much less stressful that way.
@knottieamusements we, yea have had our nursery cleared out and ready for furniture for 2 years (the joys of infertility- having that empty room was like a knife), so its ready for set up! Also we have a great relationship with all our neighbors, so I can easily find a guy who can help my H move it upstairs to the nursery.
But it'll be cool, I just wanted to vent my super first world problem. Also its making me put a hustle on my H to buy the rest of our furniture so we can at least set everything else up and have it ready to plop a crib in.
@knottieamusements oh dont worry, you didnt! I came to terms with IF a long time ago- I actually am very vocal about it with friends/family/strangers/social media and that helped a lot in getting through it, so I am very happy and able to talk about it now. It was that first 6 months when it was still a secret that it was awful
ETA: hilarious aside, when my H and I were picking out paint colors for the nursery (before we started TTC), I picked out this grey/brown color that I looooved called 'Barren Plains' and my H vetoed it because he didn't want a babies room to be ina color 'Barren' since he is a bit superstitious with that stuff. Once we started doing IF treatments a year ish later he was like 'aren't you happy we didn't paint the room that color because you would be thinking that was the cause and I would find you at 1 AM furiously painting over it'. He was not wrong.
Z was a total mama’s boy tonight. Usually H puts him to bed but he reached for me, curled up in my arms, and then pointed at H and said “Go go go.” Lol. Get out daddy, its mommy and Z time!
@lest12 gah totally feel you. I dread occasions. Do we like future SIL at least?
@dunkindecaf - sorry, I was off the grid last week (not at work) and just saw this! I don't get notifications on mobile.
Future SIL is OK, nice enough I guess. But she did ask my sister and I to be in the wedding party, which was really nice!
The party was OK too. I ended up wearing something more casual because I was comfortable and it was fine. Now I can retire to flip flops and sneakers for the next 4 months.

Bummer it's at her place, but yeah I don't think it'd be okay to ask for it.
