Re: Randoms 9/10-9/16

  • I have a feeling this baby is a boy. My wife thinks it's a girl. No dreams yet to tell me gender. In any of my pregnancies, I've only had a dream once of it being a boy (that was 7 years ago). We're also team green, so we'll find out come march.

  • @bdesterhouse@lelkcot at my old office would do this weird throat itch cough. MH does it too and it is so disgusting.

  • @bdesterhouse & @meggyme all I can say is thank goodness for headphones! 
  • Agreed! You can hear this guy do it with his door shut.

    We have two sleeping beauties in heaven.

  • @indigoheightsblog with DS, I had a dream two days before my ultrasound that we were in the ultrasound room and it was a boy (which was right)!

    I've had dreams in the past that have predicted things, but just totally random. I dreamt in high school my schoolbus started on fire, and it happened the next day. I like to think I'm borderline clairvoyant, but not in a useful or predictable way lol

    With this pregnancy, I dreamt it was conjoined twin girls. Based on my dating ultrasound, just one anatomically normal baby in there. Lol. 
  • @indigoheightsblog When I was pregnant with my first I had a dream the baby was a girl. I had a second dream about two blonde-headed girls ... and we now have two gorgeous blonde gals, so I definitely believe dreams can be predictive. No gender dreams yet for me this time around. 
  • My MIL announced our pregnancy on FB late last night. We have still not announced on social media because I just told most of my family on Tuesday. I am fuming!!!! Being PGAL, I was not ready for it to be knowledge to the world yet. I literally want to cry right now. 
  • @purpleteacher82 ooo no, that’s beyond frustrating. Can you or your husband ask her to take it down since you aren’t ready to share publicly (or would that just be more stressful)?
  • @lelkcot MH is going to say something to her. We’ve told a lot of people, but there’s just something about her putting it out there for the world to see before we were ready (and before we did) that just really upset me. 
  • @purpleteacher82 wow, that was incredibly rude of her! I understand she is excited but it was not her news to share and announcing it that way takes the opportunity away from you and your husband to do it. I’m so sorry.

  • @purpleteacher82 oh HEYYLLL NO! What was she thinking?  
  • @purpleteacher82 - I would be LIVID! That is totally your news to share. At best, someone should share your announcement, not make their own. I’m so so sorry. And I’m glad YH is talking to her about it, because sharing on sm before you two did was reprehensible.

  • @purpleteacher82 I’m really glad your husband is talking to her about it. You have every right to be upset! It’s such personal, and big, news, only the expecting parents have the right to make it public. I’m sorry you’re dealing with that.
  • @purpleteacher82 oh HELL no! If you want to cry, scream, and smack her silly I say go for it! There is NOTHING worse than someone getting the attention for your good news!
  • Im flying internationally today for work. I usually love to travel but this trip has me a bit nervous. Going to be a total of 19 hours inside of an airplane, not including a couple of layovers. Praying my LO enjoys travel as much as I do and stays snug in my belly for the duration...
  • @keikilove prayers for safe travel! Hopefully you can use some of that time to sleep ;)
  • @purpleteacher82 holy sh*t I would have lost it. We had the specific conversation with my ILs that we will share when we’re ready and they are NOT to post anything or tell anyone until we give them the go ahead. They overstep boundaries like that all the time. It drives me crazy. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that.

    This baby will be my parents' 5th grandchild. We told them right after I got a positive test because we were visiting them at the time, and we made sure to tall them it was very early (only about 5 weeks long). Given that my mom has been through this multiple times before I assumed she knew to keep her mouth shut. Nope...she went ahead and told the neighbors. She got a pretty big dressing down for that. Sometimes grandparents are just so excited they lose all common sense, especially on social media.
  • @purpleteacher82 I'm so sorry that happened. I would be so upset. We told my inlaws on Monday, and hoping they keep it somewhat under wraps. We won't be announcing on social media until after our 22-24 week appt when we have a fetal echo. 

    In other random thoughts, I wanted to shout out a thank you to all of you ladies on this board for the organization and support of this board.

  • @keikilove Flying during my first pregnancy was the first time I ever talked to my belly. I asked my daughter to stick with me. 

    I just flew internationally for work this week as well. Not nearly as long a flight, but I can understand your worry. Safe travels to you! 
  • @purpleteacher82 ohhhhh that is NOT okay...... i'm really sorry and it sounds like she definitely needs someone to have words with her.

    @keikilove have a safe and easy flight! you'll be fine!
  • @purpleteacher82 I literally have no words!!!!! I don’t understand what makes anyone think they have the right to share someone else’s personal news/information, etc! I would be so angry and upset!!!
  • Thanks for validating my feelings everyone! We told my ILs about the pregnancy when I was only nine weeks and told them to keep it a secret. (Which they did.) MH told her a couple of days ago that it was now ok to share (meaning share with some of the extended family on his side). I never dreamed she would post it on FB. I don’t think she meant anything by it and just didn’t really understand the etiquette of not sharing something like that on social media. She apologizied, but not sure she even knows how to take it down. I’m calmer now, but it was not a good start to my day!!!
  • @keikilove hope you have a nice trip! I’m about to get on a flight to Liberia that connects through Ghana. I don’t think there will be a spa at my hotel but that sounds divine!
  • @mayoduck ugh. I had a coworker ask me that too. A coworker that had her kids through IVF and should know better IMO. I’m like yeah, we tried for about 4 years. That shut her up pretty quick!

  • @mayoduck @3rdtime_charmed We didn't quite get that question as we are both women, but from both my MIL and SIL, at different times, ask if we knew the donor and we're okay with him as the donor. First, he's a donor. Second, if I didn't want him as the donor, why would we pick him?

  • I’m also getting a lot of questions about whether my twins are spontaneous or assisted. I’m like, if you didn’t know me well enough to know whether I was doing fertility, is that really your business? I was prepared for this because one of the twin blogs told me I would get this question, but surprised by the frequency it happens. And maybe it’s because I work in healthcare so people just talk more openly about all kinds of things.
