It's Friday yo!

[singingsea]

I honestly don't know how a short work week could seem so long.



 What's up? Anyone have fun plans this weekend?

[cbrandt1]

It looks like it's going to rain all weekend. The city is mostly flooded already so we will likely stick close to home. I'd like to go look for some bathing suits...we'll see

Yeah you guys don't need anymore rain. Sorry to hear about the flooding. It's supposed to rain all weekend here too.

[singingsea]

This baby clearly favors my right side and he is all up in my ribs today. At least it feels it.

DS starts swim lessons on Sunday. I'm super excited to swim with him and get my swollen body some relief.

Were off to story land this morning for the second time this week. It's a nursery rhyme themed amusement park. Should be fun!
DH is gone all weekend for a bachelor party, so it'll just be me and C. Solo parenting isn't my fave, especially for that long, but we'll make the best of it!!

The US Men's Gymnastics Championships are in the area so my mom and I are headed to watch the Finals Sunday. Can't wait!

Photographic support for why this is awesome as fuck (sadly they don't compete shirtless, but you can see all the muscles through those leotards):



Additional photographic support if you'd like some eye candy on this Friday:

Hope this day goes by quick!

Tomorrow is my baby shower hosted by my mom and Sunday we have our one day birthing class

[cassey910]

Sorry about all the flooding, I hope the rain ends soon cbrandt1
I think me and DS will go to target this morning. I ordered some maternity dresses online. One fit but I have to take the others back. I think I will try pink blush next. They have some really cute stuff.

[sodapop]

cbrandt1, I hope you and your family are safe from the floods.

Nothing much, going for my ultrasound later this afternoon

[cbrandt1]

We are actually, we live in a coastal town so the only time it floods here is when the gulf surges inland. Aside from being a bit soggy, we are a-ok!

[abcmommy]

Sorry about all the flooding cbrandt1. I hope it clears up really soon!

Enjoy your baby shower watermelonseed!

cassey910 I recently ordered a dress from Pink Blush for my maternity photos. It is supposed to arrive soon, so I'll let you know what I think of it.

Today I have a dentist appointment and then we're headed to my and DH's hometown to watch my brother and his cousin graduate from high school. I'm so proud of them both!

[merryrissmas]

Yes, singingsea , how do the short weeks seem to take so long?!

After holding out for several days of 80-ish weather, we finally caved and turned on the A/C yesterday. Heaven!

I have a hair appointment & Target run tomorrow afternoon and am supposed to go out to dinner for my little sister's birthday tomorrow night, so it should be a fun day.

[singingsea]

Enjoy your baby shower watermelonseed!

Are we going to have a shower thread? I think a lot of FTMs are getting close to their shower dates.

[singingsea]

Also I'm 27 weeks today so I'm rounding up and saying I'm in my third trimester.

In which case holy shit. I'm serious when I say this pregnancy is going really fast. I feel like I'm going to be in scramble mode in August.

[LadyNymeria]

Happy 3rd tri singingsea!! I hit that next week and I can't believe it's almost here!!

Shower thread would be fun! Mine is July 17!

I feel like we were all getting our bfps yesterday. It's crazy.

+1 on a shower thread. Maybe pin it at the top? I want to creep

[singingsea]

I'll be co-hosting my SIL's shower with my mom on August 6th at 36 weeks pregnant. Yay My mom has threatened me about not going into labor until after the shower. I'm like one, I have no power over that shit and two, I really doubt that will happen.

Any suggested format for a baby shower thread? Or just a general post for people AW whatever they want?

[beckyrosen]

It's going to be over 100 tomorrow, so I need to do something air-conditioned! Today may be up there too so I may be going over to my mom's to enjoy her air. My apartment will be hot even with the air on

It's apparently donut day. I want one, but I don't wanna go get one lol.

No format in mind. Just have people share what they want to share?

[beckyrosen]

watermelonseed enjoy your baby shower! I'm jealous lol. I'm having my third, this is my 2nd girl, less than 2 years after my first girl, so I don't need one but I so want the party!

[eboyd83]

Well I cried at work today because of difficult customers and a stupid jerk. My feet are swollen. So thankful it is Friday. Hubs says we are going out to eat for dinner so I am looking forward to that.

H and I were kicking around hosting a sip n' see. Just a general gathering a month or two out after the baby is born. Requesting no gifts, just come hold my baby/entertain my three year old and I will give you booze and snacks

Yay for dinner! Sucks about work. I've had those moments. I remember one time telling the guy to wait for someone else because I won't help him anymore and went in the back and cried. I don't know why people have to be jerks about things, especially in cases where they are wanting you to do something for them. Hope your day gets better.

[fem]

eboyd83 I cried yesterday because my shirts were too tight. You're not alone in the tear department.

As for Donut day H bought homemade cherry donuts yesterday. I only had a bite because sugar makes me sick lately but that bite was delicious!

[serendipity731]

Have fun at your shower and class watermelonseed!

I think an AW shower thread is a great idea!

Heartburn is killing me this a.m.! Just finished DS's tumbling class, he's doing so much better staying in circle time. Waiting in the drive thru for a Starbucks. Not much else on the agenda for today!

[cassey910]

Yay for third trimester singingsea
Have fun at your shower watermelonseed
LadyNymeria we are shower twins mines on July 17th as well!

[annapunkalunka]

I'm jealous of all you receiving showers! They're so much fun and you get so much stuff! People love buying for babies!

We had so much fun this morning. C rode on the whales (you sit in a whale and go around and around). I'm unbelievably surprised she did it. And by herself! Amazing. On the way home she was so happy "Tiepee ride-a wayoos!"

[LadyNymeria]

I don't want to take over another randoms thread with family crap, but I just need to vent.

So like I mentioned above, my shower ended up getting scheduled for July 17, which is the weekend before my cousin's July 23rd wedding. I told her about an hour ago and she's practically acting like it's the end of the world that it's the weekend before. Including a very passive aggressive "I give up. I am just giving up caring." FB status for which the timing is way too coincidental to not be about me.

Ideal timing? Maybe not. But when else did she think it was going to be? June was too soon, August is too close for comfort to EDD since I'm due early Sept, and every other weekend in July is either a wedding related event for her or didn't work for key people (MIL and BFF).

I know I really shouldn't be letting her get to me, but I'm pissed and seriously upset that I can do so much for someone and this is how they act in return.
