I don't know if this is an FC or just shit I want to bring up, but I'm shocked at the lack of crazy here. Bump boards were full of the cray for a while but maybe because this is harder to find, the crazies just aren't here. It's kind of awesome.

I was thinking the same thing. I haven't found a "I'm a snarky bitch because obviously I'm smarter and cooler than you" on here yet... which is super awesome. I hate mean people who are just bitches because they hate themselves.

I guess this is my confession: When we told my MIL we were expecting DD (so, this was, june 2011) all she said was, "Oh, I thought you were going to wait longer."
Also - when DD was born, it was a really traumatic c-section after a long horrid labor. I was so drugged up that I don't remember the first time I saw DD. What I DO remember? Being wheeled back to my room after the "recovery room" and my MIL waiting in the hallway. I had made it clear I didn't want anyone at the hospital for a while after DD was born.
I am still VERY, VERY, VERY angry at her for these things. It's been 4 years, I should let it go. I don't wanna.

I would likely still be angry about this as well. My MIL would totally do this. I feel like they have this way of getting under one's skin (even when they're typically very nice, as mine is). Hugs.
DD has been watching too much TV probably. She plays and watches and doesn't just sit and watch the whole time but I still feel bad. I also try to lay on the floor and play but I'm just so nauseous and exhausted. She's been so good too so yesterday we got her some wonder color markers and paper for putting up with her lazy mom. My sister has the TV on all day and her kids are just fine so I think I'm ok to watch a little more on days like this.

Flair Underwood my MIL is great and totally respectful but my mom is bat shit fucking crazy. I haven't spoken to her since my son was a month old. How people treat you in your most vulnerable state is very indicative of who they are at their core. Fuck them, and I'm obviously still not over it, and you shouldn't be either. This time around enlist the help of nurses. If that bitch wants to sit in the waiting room for 15, fine. But she can't come in the room.

DH and I don't speak to my MIL. She's crazy, self-centered, and has a long history of abusive behavior. He decided he didn't need that in his life anymore and I fully support him. You can't choose your family but you can choose what kind of relationship (or lack there of) you have with them. Life's too short to surround yourself with people who aren't worth your while.
I puked in my parents neighbors yard on Saturday. Combination of ms, a bad headache, and motion sickness. We were like 30 ft from my parents house but I just couldn't make it any further

I'm feeling very different about this pregnancy than I did my first two. My last pregnancy which resulted in my perfect child was the stuff that dreams are made of. I felt like heaven, I was so so so excited. I knew every single day just how big my baby was and how she was frowning, when her fingernails started to form and all of those wonderful things.
With this pregnancy, I am very happy, we were trying for this baby, this baby is just as wanted as our first, but half the time, I forget that I'm even pregnant. I have to make myself remember to go look up how big the baby is. I have to remind myself that I'm excited for this. I haven't jumped up and down and squealed and cried happy tears for this baby.
Any other btdt moms not feeling the bliss this time? Reassure me that I'm going to love this baby just as much please.
Flair Underwood I would be pissed too. I still am pissed that when we called after DD2 was born (we called all day and didn't get ahold of her until after 10 pm, and I was past my EDD) all she had to say was how she hadn't seen her granddaughters nursery ( was the same as DD1) and how she had only seen DD1 so many hours since she was born. No congrats, how's shoogars, how is big sis...nothing. Then on her first visit, she cornered me and said the same things.

dontstopbelievin, yup.... I'm with you. I don't feel giddy or over exited. I haven't cried and I'm mostly just petrified of the work that having two kids is going to be. I'm sure once he/she is here, I'll fall in love... but right now I am just kind of "eh"

I totally feel the same way. When this little one is born I will be just finishing school and hopefully starting a new job. I feel like I took a lot on all at the same time.

I put on makeup last night for an event last night for my husband's work. Then I slept in my makeup and wiped away the mascara under my eyes today before leaving the house.

It's definitely different this time. I think I'm just so much busier now with DS that I don't have the time to sit around and be mesmerized It's exciting and we are thrilled it's just that we are so busy. And the nausea is worse when chasing a 3 year old.

This is me. I feel so bad for DS sometimes because I'm just like I'm going to lay here so you can crawl on me & bring me stuff to play with. We have the TV on all the time but since I'm just like blah on the floor he has begun to recognize & dance to commercials. Feeling like a total failure at times...

You absolutely will! My 2nd pregnancy was very much planned, but I spent most of it feeling sort of checked out and worried that I was going to ruin DD1's life (thanks, hormones). I even worried that I was going I resent DD2 for taking attention away from DD1. But as soon as she was born all that went away. I love her to pieces, couldn't imagine our life without her, couldn't imagine DD1's life without her.
I'm so glad mil moved like 10 hours away this summer. I don't want to see her while I am pregnant at all. Last time she touched my stomach every time she saw me even when DH told her to stop. I did too, but she never listens to me.

I'm dreading stomach touching...
She was the ONLY one. I'm hoping that with her gone, I will not deal with it at all this time
