@leighbrek I’ve never really personally felt that way but I know my SIL did a lot when she was pregnant. I think it’s completely normal. It IS so weird that there’s a little person growing and moving in us!

Our floors were finished today and I noticed that they left a huge scratch in our fridge. I'm so incredibly upset that I was starting to tear up when I was talking to my dh about it. I'm blaming it totally on pregnancy hormones.

Thanks @BitterBetty12
I felt really bad for a moment that I was repulsed by my own baby moving around. Obviously it wasn't like, "Ew, baby... Omg." It was just a weird delayed understanding of what I was feeling. I think today is just an emotional day. Thanks, hormones.

Speaking of mom friends, we're really excited because one of our friends found out shes pregnant and is due about 2 months after I am. This is her second one, so I've already been asking her for advice anyway but now it's fun because we're pregnant together. One of DH's friend's wife is also pregnant with twins, and shes due a few months before I am. So we'll all have kids in the same school year!

My BFF and my sister are both pregnant. My BFFs is an oopsie 3rd baby due 2 months after mine, and my sister is due one month before me.

It took me awhile but I found a Mom group that was a good fit for me. I need something because I am a SAHM and I will go insane if I don’t interact with other adults. I had more luck with more interest-based groups over the general area or age-based ones. So far they have been really supportive and we haven’t had any drama or anything. Mine is mostly SAHMs but we do have a few working moms. Most of our events are during the week and we have people ask for weekend events a lot but then they never attend the ones we schedule.

@leighbrek I had a moment like that the other day. Baby was moving around so much one morning that at one point I was like, ok, that's enough. It was just like you described - a moment of feeling suddenly repulsed. And then I felt like a terrible person for having that thought.

I met my bff through baby storytime at the library. I tried using the peanut app to meet other moms and tried with mom groups and I just never clicked with anyone. My mil was actually with me when I met her and even she commented afterwards how much chemistry we had, lol.

I feel like the moms groups in my area all have older kids and its hard to have playdates when their 4 year olds don't want to hang with my 15 mo.

leighbrek · August 2018

@katethemom Thanks for relating! That's exactly it. A lot of ladies were talking about not instantly bonding with baby, and I guess this is part of that very initial phase. It's confusing as heck!

We're going cold turkey on the bottle this weekend (not exactly cold turkey since he was down to 2 a day, but still). I've been up since before 5 because DS was pissed that his milk was in a sippy cup and wouldn't go back to sleep. DH won't be home until the afternoon, so I'm counting down the hours until nap time.

We took away DD2's binky this week. It has been miserable. She was up at 5am on most mornings. She is finally starting to adjust without it but man has it been painful. I hope your DS adjusts soon without the bottle!

@Mandamay1414 Yes!! College gave you a built in opportunity to build a relationship during class before deciding if you want to get together outside of classes, but after that you have to be forward. It's like dating for moms. "Hey, I think our kids would have fun playing together, want to meet up at this park sometime?" Then if that's fun, you might do it again before inviting them into your home. Or "I've been really wanting to check out this new place, but never get a chance to go. Want to come with me sometime? It'll give both of us a chance to have some adult time!" and you hope they don't turn you down for using a pick up line hahaha

@leighbrek with DD it was HILARIOUS watching DH feel DD move. The first time, then several other times after that, he was like "oh the baby is moving? Cool let me feel..." then she kicked his hand and he jumped SO FAR! He was so creeped out, and it happened like this several times before she was born. For some reason he didn't like feeling the big kicks. I loved it, though.

today is our 11th wedding anniversary. I take my state licensing exam on Wednesday, so I couldn't sacrifice the weekend of studying to stay at a B&B, but we will be taking DD to the lake he proposed at (it's my all time favorite place in Minnesota) then going to a delicious dinner after in uptown before coming back for bedtime. In a few weeks we'll have my mom take Elyse for the weekend to go to a B&B.

I got 10 hours of sleep last night!!!! DH got up with DD this morning so I kept sleeping until my body woke up naturally. Felt SO GREAT!

leighbrek · August 2018

@sweetyjenj That is freaking hilarious!

We're doing a low key gender reveal with just family after dinner tonight. I ordered cupcakes, and they look and smell so good that I'm having a hard time not eating one right now.

AliKay20 · August 2018

@sfgiantsgamerbabe hahaha! Yup! That’s exactly what it is!!!

DD had her daycare graduation yesterday. That hour of mingling with other 2 year old grads’ moms and dads = enough for me! Haha. We all got to talking about what preschool our grads will be headed to and which ones they’re waitlisted for.

I did meet a mom organically at an indoor play area! Her two year old was playing w DD and we just got to talking about how strong willed our girls were. This led to potty training topic next and ten minutes later, we’re deep in conversation about expecting with baby boy both due within days apart!

You betcha we exchanged numbers. It was cool. Those types of conversations just flow so naturally but it doesn’t always happen that easily!

kianarain · August 2018

@leighbrek yesss! She lives about 25 minutes away from us.

@BitterBetty12 that's so cool! So excited because our family doesn't have any young kids yet, so I was worried that our DD wouldn't have anyone her age for family get-togethers. Not anymore

also hellllooooo date night babysitter lol. We can take turns and not be worried that we're inflicting baby-madness on someone, because we'll both already be in the trenches!

Also selfishly crossing my fingers that they also have a girl muahahha

BitterBetty12 · August 2018

@kianarain My BFF realllly thought she was having a boy and I had everything crossed that she was having a girl so we could have daughters together. I was so ecstatic and she was soo excited when she found out it was a girl!
