Good morning!!! MH was being a total dick last night (he's grumpy bc he's not getting sex bc I'm on pelvic rest...sorry dude...I'm not always in the mood to just take care of you) and left to go skiing this am with a friend...after dumping all the clean clothes out on the floor bc he couldn't find matching warm socks. 🙄 I just think of it as him prepping me for raising children... But, now I get the house to myself and I went and got a cinnamon roll for breakfast, yum!

IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
It's massage day and then dinner with a coworker this evening- he, along with his wife, will be watching DS1 until my family can get here when I have DS2 (provided it's not a planned event). DS1 has met coworker a few times and is a fan but we've never met his wife yet. I'm curious as to how DS1 will react to his wife as he has a major case of stranger danger lately

Good Morning. I need to all to tell me I'm being completely irrational over the table set up for my baby shower. They have it set up meeting style (horse shoe) and I think they expect me to open gift in the middle. I had a panic attack last night in bed about this because I know how I would have felt if I had to be a guest at a shower with a horse shoe table. You can't look away from the gift opening or play on your phone. Hell the only thing that got me through my cousins last shower was my ability to work on my planner at my table to distract myself from my pain. Also people won't be able to whisper how awful things are to people other than their neighbor.
Just tell me I'm crazy and I'll stop freaking out about the tables.

Sorry YH is being a dick. MH is a bigger child than M will be.

You are crazy!
I have never been to a shower where we didn't horse shoe around the honoured guest. If someone is not enjoying the baby shower they can step away and all the attention will be on you so if someone is more inclined to play candy crush on their phone no one will notice.
Have FUN and release it. You are a guest not a host!
@onesweetwotld I often think you and I should send our Hs off to live somewhere and we can raise the real children ourselves Also, don't worry about the seating, it will be fine! Just enjoy it...today your job is to be the center of attention and let people fawn over you. I hate showers, especially my own, for the same reason so I get it...but time to be like Elsa and let it go enjoy your day, mama!!!

Thank you. I needed this. I only have been to showers with individual tables and I feel like the horse shoe is too AW for me.
I will spend the next few hours coming to terms with this so I can enjoy myself lol.

Thanks love! Yes let's send off our husbands somewhere where they can ruin each other's days and not ours.
onesweetworld - I wouldn't be a fan of that setup either, so I completely understand your feelings. That said, it was the host's decision, so if guests don't like it they won't blame you.
Showers are tough for those who don't like being the center of attention. At least at my bridal shower I could drink! It will go quickly and everyone will love lavishing you with love and gifts. Enjoy the day!
ladytiffany24 & wannabmama - All the Hs can just chill. Mine doesn't complain about the infrequent sexy time except right after we do have sex to say it should be more often. We're both exhausted by the time he gets home most nights so it's not all on me!

Thanks I'm hoping it's a quick one. I think I'll get there early, eat and open gifts immediately so I can go home lol.

Good morning! DH is having his diaper party/super bowl party tomorrow. So I'm spending today cleaning and cooking. I might also indulge in a trip to carters to exchange a few things. I was trying to convince DH to install our car seats so I can get them out of the way but he says it's too cold. Uh hello, we live in Ohio. It's not going to be any warmer anytime soon.

Mine had started trying to woo me by saying he's becoming a eunuch...yes, dear, that certainly gets me in the mood.
And...I was actually all geared up last night, especially bc he told me he needed to run some errands, asked if I wanted to come, and said we could go out to dinner so I was excited not to cook and eat whatever I wanted. The errands took until 8:30 by that time I was seriously starving and nauseous from being in the car...and he suddenly got in a mood bc he thought he lost something and we went home without going to dinner! You do not tell your pregnant wife you are taking her to dinner and then renege!! After we got home and I MADE dinner (and cleaned up)...you can just say his chances of getting any had dwindled to negative a million.

Currently having my hair highlighted. I really like the girl doing my hair. She did it the last time too. She is 24w with a girl so we have lots to talk about.
I organized a canvassing event for our staff today. 4 people didn't show up, including one of our principals who didn't even call. I feel like that's really bad work ethic, and makes him look bad to his new staff members who did volunteer their Saturday and show up.
One parent volunteer is "on her way" but is already 40 minutes late to a 2 hour event. So I'm just sitting here waiting for her. By the time she gets here we're going to be able to hit like one street. Gr.

Your husband needs to get comfy with his hand. H and I have had sex maybe twice in 6 months due to general pregnancy discomfort.
wannabmama, oh my god backing out on dinner. That would have been a world war here. Hangry Icedtea is a sight to behold, and H spends most of his life avoiding that situation.
onesweetworld, I would also freak out a bit about that, but I agree that it'll be fine And fun!
I'm being lazy on the couch while H is at an appointment. I have barely eaten/had anything to drink today because lazy. Should probably fix that.

Agreed. H and I haven't had sex since my bfp this time and last time we didn't until 3rd tri - and that was because I was 40 weeks and hoping to kickstart labour. Pregnancy hormones kill my sex drive.
I found my cards from my baby shower with DS and I read two before I started balling. So many memories and love from people including my moms best friend who died last summer.
wannabmama - Hell no to errands so late with no food! H has started asking if I need to stop somewhere if I mention I'm hungry and we're a while away from planned food.
