I have my nst this morning plus more appts later this afternoon. I brought my laptop to do some final paperwork for work but they might ask me to get a report out today. Fx one of my CW can do it...they need to move on without me.
So I walked out of the bathroom this morning to find DH putting my BBT in the dogs butt. Yep. I'll be a buying a new one when it's time for baby #3.
On the plus side, at least you aren't in the middle of a cycle! My H was pretty horridified when he saw the rectal thermometer on our registry so I'm assuming that will be my job when the time comes
Hahah nope. He was all up in there. He's also very proud of the fact that he's volunteering to be the one to change the meconium poop diapers lol. Definitely not a squeamish man. Although he gagged cleaning up the dogs vomit the other day so that probably doesn't bode well for me.
My H moved all the guestroom furniture out of the nursery and into the new guestroom this weekend so I'm finishing decorating and arranging all of that today and taping out all the nursery furniture to make sure I like the layout. My H decided the dresser I had picked out is too short for him to change diapers on, I'm torn between telling him to suck it up or searching for something else. I'm definitely in full on nesting mode though and really want everything to be ready like right now
How tall is YH? DH ended up making a tray for our changing last raises it up off of the dresser a couple of inches.

If it makes anyone feel better about the potential squeamish-ness of their H with baby poop, I have a friend and their LO is only two or three months younger than DS and her H refused to change poopy diapers unless he had latex gloves on. You know, just in case. He's also a giant douche so it was unsurprising to me but good Lord. My H hates poop and did fine with DS.
NT scan is Friday. Trying not to think about it. Instead, trying to figure out if we announce the pregnancy to our extended family and friends (all of whom live in other states so we won't see them in person to tell). Or do as H suggested and wait until baby arrives. Thoughts?

Hi everyone! The talk of husbands and poop reminds me of one of my favorite stories from when N was a baby. We were up for an overnight feeding. MH was changing his diaper, and all of a sudden, N poops, and it flies across the room hitting the wall and closet door. MH, who is a firefighter/EMT and used to gross stuff, had to leave the room because he felt squeamish. I cleaned up the poop in the dark at 4 in the morning. It's been 4 years and I still tease him about it. This weekend, G pooped all over him, so we reminisced about the incident with N.

wait, so let them know via phone/social media that you're pregnant or wait until the baby arrives to announce/meet?
We won't do social media announcements, but basically that. I'm thinking now an option is to let our parents tell other family as they talk to them every now and then.

Groooossssss! Also....WHY?!
Ugh don't even get me started on my current pet chaos. One dog has fleas, one cat has fleas, 2 cats aren't eating (I think because of flea treatment...allergic reaction or something) and one dog has the dog flu or something and has been pretty sick since the weekend. PLUS we literally have to ice the Great Danes balls from his neuter every day because he won't sit still and they keep swelling up. And let me tell you, holding an ice pack on a rowdy Dane is no easy task. It's a disaster at the MLE house right now. H and I were up until midnight last night doing operation destroy the fleas.
I mean, we didn't send announcements or anything. We did something on Facebook, though we're not friends with most extended family. But we assume people will just find out via word of mouth. Does your H mean specifically telling people like your parents not to say anything?

No, I don't think he means telling people to not tell. We do have them on lock down right now until at least the NT scan is done.
It was a combination of Jewish superstition and her being very, oddly private about it.
Oooh. This makes more sense. And if he's not swearing people to secrecy in general then this is less weird to me. I didn't call every aunt or anything.
And totally understand on keeping people locked down till post-NT. Good luck!

To add: She joked (or was serious?) she wouldn't have told even us or H's parents until the baby came out if we hadn't all met up for New Year's when she was 4.5 months pregnant (which is when we found out).

My mother told everyone before we FB announcement. She even tells cashiers and waiters. I assume all grandmothers to be are like this. So I didn't bother reaching out to anyone not on FB. I assume word will spread and when I show up at Christmas the size of a house a think it will be pretty clear lol.
