@wildrainbow Ugh, hope you are able to get in a nap or early to bed tonight. Sorry you are feeling terrible.
I hate to sound like a super brat but I am getting SO ANNOYED that my shower is a surprise and I know nothing about it. I have been creeping my registries just trying to judge if it's coming up by how many things have been purchased. Add that to crazy pregnancy hormones and I almost just burst into tears because the lady holding the infant care class that we are attending tomorrow night just called and asked if I have the car seat yet- because if so, they want us to bring it. We don't because we registered for it. I think she heard the panic in my voice because she was like "It's okay! I'm sure someone will have one so you can see/demonstrate. Ugh!!

@wildrainbow -hope you're feeling better!!
@tessiesmom26 - I don't blame you, I would go crazy if it was a surprise. I'm glad my family knows I like to have a say in everything and they don't like making decisions (sometimes) .
Am I the only person to just realize there's a possibility that this baby could come late? There was so much talk about possibly getting induced because of GD but since now I know it isn't likely, I'm just realizing the baby could come late. My DH came a month late along with his sister and I was a few days late. It will be interesting to see when he decides to come out

Last night as we were leaving the hospital, DH starts walking his usual pace and I said I couldn't walk that fast. What the brat do? He waits for me and starts an exaggerated waddle to mimic me.
@highsteaks ADORABLE! I just AWed out loud!
Random question- Is it considered nesting if I want to clean my desk/workspace at work? I have more of a desire to do that then clean my house LOL.

@highsteaks omg they are soooo precious
@wildrainbow lmao MH teases me all the time for waddling, he calls me Mrs Waddlesworth. And refers to the belly as zom-belly cause it moves and reminds him of the pregnant zombie from Dawn of the Dead isn't he sweet? He also carries literally EVERYTHING for me and gets mad when I don't ask for help with things so he cares but we just have goofy senses of humor.

@tessiesmom26 You don't even know the date of the shower!? Wow, yeah, that would be frustrating. I was very hands-off with my shower and didn't want to know any details, but I at least knew the date. Try not to stress about the carseat! That's just small stuff. You'll figure it out!
@kamahina9 A WHOLE MONTH LATE!? Oh, man. That sounds like my nightmare.
@highsteaks Those are beautiful!

@tessiesmom26 maybe the desk just seems more manageable?
@kamahina9 with DD I really was not prepared for her to be late, and she was! Now I’m just going in with that mindset. A month is bananas though!

@soehlerk - good reminder. I'm due on the 4th so I had to request an absentee ballot as well.
@highsteaks Stopitrightnowthosearetoocute!!!
@wildrainbow That's hilarious. My husband calls me Large Marge and hippo in public because people's outraged looks make him laugh. He knows I take giant pride in my big belly though, otherwise he would know better.
@soehlerk Excellent reminder. I always vote absentee but that's especially useful this election!
My best friend called me the other day and told me DH's best friend's wife called her to ask about arranging a weekend for them to come over to surprise us (they live about 5 hours away). My bf is going to be out of the country for a couple weeks this month, so it definitely won't be until after the babies are born. There are two issues here: #1 - surprise visitors are NOT my thing. I know they wouldn't be staying with us, but I'm a planner and I am not a huge fan of people just popping by. #2 - the best friend's wife is having major anxiety issues. She just had their second child and had a hospitalization during her pregnancy due to her anxiety. Every time I've seen/talked to her in the past few months she's been super manic. She's always been a little "extra" (her words, not mine), but it's actually a little scary. She's super all over everyone - kids, friends, her hubby - hugging on them and just generally being in their space. She talks a mile a minute bouncing from topic to topic seemingly randomly. No one says anything to her because they're afraid they'll send her into a spiral - it's like everyone is walking on egg shells. I hate to sound callous, but I barely have the patience to walk on eggshells around someone when I'm at my best. I don't know how I'd do with someone like that while I'm sleep deprived and trying to keep two new babies alive. The last thing I want to do is maker her feel bad or worsen her anxiety. But my friend is dealing with some pretty major stuff with her family and I don't really want her to have to deal with walking on eggshells for a weekend, either. Any suggestions on how we can let her down easy and keep them from making a surprise visit?? Or am I being an a$$hole?
@smulrich16 - yikes, that's tricky. Can your best friend call her back and say she thought about it and thinks that with two babies coming a planned short visit would probably be a better idea? I don't really know anyone that would want surprise visitors shortly after having a baby/babies.

@mockingjay1 it always rankles me when unhappily divorced people can’t just suck it up and be civil at family events - especially kids events for like a couple of hours. It’s like, grow up. My best friends parents always make a big deal about the other one being there at their grandkids birthday parties and my friend feels like she has to schedule it so they come at different times but they both complain anyway and it’s so silly. I would just have one party, explain that everyone is invited as long as they can behave civilly and leave it at that. Your son shouldn’t have to pay the price for them not getting along!
