I guess my confession is that we went at 15w on the nose (the earliest the place would look) for a private scan and bought/painted the nursery based on that read....mine was one NYE so we could announce with all of our family. And I'd totally do it again!
I usually put Z in the empty bathtub with some toys in the morning while I use the restroom. Today he found some hair in the drain and is having a great time. He's not eating it, so I'm letting it go.

HORK
Ugh - I know! Hair makes me gag, but he was so entertained that I was able to do my hair and get dressed in peace and he's usually fussing and crying. I put it in the garbage after I took him out.

2nd time today I'm about to gag.
Wasn't it covered in drain slime?!
KKLL, your story made me cringe and feel very sad for you but not gag. Drain slime though. HORK.

I used to do this with E all the time. I thought it was great and so did he until he turned on the cold water and soaked himself.
Add me to the private scan FFFC list. I definitely had one like a day shy of 15 weeks so that I could share the sex of the baby with family on Christmas Day. I was also a nervous PGAL wreck and constantly wanted to see/hear baby's heartbeat (bought an at home Doppler that I used all of the time too). I LOVED our private scan, it was so much better and more comfortable than the ones at the doctor's office. I will totally do it again with my next pregnancy.

This week at work I told a coworker, who is also pregnant, that I'm pregnant. Fast forward to the conversation going through the typical pregnancy questions and the diabetes test came up. She told me that she refused her diabetes test because the drink would be the worst thing that she could put into her body the entire pregnancy. I totally side-eyed her for this and replied that I actually thought the drink was delicious last time

lol for days. You know what's worse? Undiagnosed/uncontrolled gestational diabetes.
The list goes on of things/tests that she's declined. Her OB kindly wrote her a letter around 28 weeks pregnant saying that unless they could come to an agreement on some of her decisions she'd no longer provide care for her. She also refused an AS saying it was harmful to the baby and it wouldn't change anything. She's refused the strep B test saying that most women don't even have it and if she did, she'd refuse the antibiotics anyways. She wants to refuse some of the mandatory testing after baby is here. Not sure how you get around state laws?? Oh and her latest thing, she's due June 21 and doesn't want this baby to come any earlier than July 1, you know, because it's healthier. I replied that she might be singing a different tune on June 22.

It's been great entertainment this whole time seeing what she comes up with. According to her, she's well informed because her husband is a........ chiropractor.

Aw yes, a chiropractor. The most learned of the non-medical doctors. Maybe he can deliver her healthy, past due baby with a back adjustment.

I interviewed for a nanny position once with a chiropractor. She was...interesting. But she understood if I had been vaccinated, but would appreciate if I declined further unnecessary vaccines, such as the flu vaccine. She also wanted someone who would be willing to follow her family's (basically paleo) diet, even when not on duty to prevent carrying toxins into their home.
It didn't work out. She probably saw the dr pepper I was sipping on when I drove up.

I was doing a huge grocery shopping trip with DD the other day. I had been wearing her in the Ergo, and often hand her something to hold while we shop to keep her busy. As I went to get her in her car seat when we finished, I pop her out of the sling, and she triumphantly waved around a jar of honey. Which we had not paid for. My child is a sneaky thief.

I was cranky with my mom yesterday because DS' last nap had ended at 11:30. She said he didn't want to sleep in the afternoon. Now, his last nap ended earlier today around 11:30 and he will absolutely not sleep. Touché, nap gods.
I seriously considered having a small glass of wine last night. Yesterday turned into an absolute crap shoot with me crying. My doctors have told me one glass every once in a while is fine but I couldn't bring myself to do it
I don't see what the big deal is with just one glass of wine once in a while. But that's because of Emily Oster's book I read.

I think I may be the only person on here that had a glass here and there during pregnancy. One glass was amazing every once in a while Kristykristyleelee. But, it'll never be seen as acceptable in America no matter what data is presented.

I don't see the big deal with it either BUT I often couldn't bring myself to actually have a glass. Mostly because what's 1 glass gonna do? Felt like a waste to me.
I never saw the big deal either. DH on the other hand, was very against me having any.
