We had a picture of my husband's extended family on the refrigerator from a wedding. I was looking at it and realized his family is not attractive. It made me nervous that our child would get those genes, so I took it down. I can't believe I'm writing this and realize it's beyond shallow. Sorry guys.
hbanana18, That sounds like the best dinner ever. I love me s'mores.
I'm so tired today that I've accomplished almost nothing at work. I've basically been bumming around online and trying not to fall asleep. 5 cannot come soon enough.
katemonster that made me laugh out loud. I'm sure your baby will be adorable
I had my ob appt this morning and I gained 10 pounds since my last appt a month ago. I don't even feel bad, especially since up until this morning I had only gained 3 pounds this entire pregnancy and lost 11 initially. I'm now net +2 pounds!!!!
Also, I ordered the kate spade diaper bag I've been eyeing, even though I'm off work. Sorry I'm not sorry, DH.

DH and I have a conversation like this almost daily. "I hope our kid doesn't end up looking like your grandma" or "Did you see that picture of your cousin so and so's ugly baby? I hope our kid doesn't look like that"
We are terrible people. (DH and I. I'm not judging you at all)

I actually told DH that if we make it, I really want a KS diaper bag. And of course I was creeping on KS toddler clothing line. Not that I'd ever buy anything from it, but they're just so so so cute for little girls. Or me, if they can make it in my size.
katemonster, If your little one looks even remotely like you, he or she will be absolutely stunning
DH and I went and saw 50 Shades of Grey last week and it inspired me to re-read the second book since I had forgotten a lot of the first. Lets just say he is no longer complaining about are so called "dry spell".
My MiL stopped by yesterday, and started complaining that DH wouldn't promise to call her on the day I give birth (which is now back up in the air as vaginal or c/s), so that she can be in the waiting room the whole time, and I wasn't even polite when I said, "Why would you want to be in the waiting room the whole time?" She went on to say how the whole family went to the hospital with my SiL when her water broke. I didn't realize how much this would bother me until I heard her say it.
The bad part is that I totally want my mom to be there, but I'm annoyed by the thought of his family being there. I'm already considering not giving MiL a NICU bracelet, just b/c I'm getting possessive of my babies.
Another dumb selfish thing I've been thinking .... It just occurred to me that people will be taking pictures on the day the babies are born, & I can't stop thinking about how disgusting I have looked for the past 57 days. I can't imagine I'll look better after the birth . I don't care how vain that sounds - I don't want those pictures to exist. I don't even particularly like really early baby pics as much as I like the ones when the baby is a few days old.

I have a really morbid sense of humor. Like, terrible. I almost responded to a post last week with my first thought than reconsidered it, since I didn't know how it would be taken. People love it in real life, but it's hard to convey it right on the interwebs. I think I would fit in with Parenting with no problem.
ETA: the post I was going to respond to was not in anyway sad, it was more of a daily life/fun post. I would never say anything cynical in a sad post.

1.) I've already talked to our families, and they know that we do not want anyone at the hospital with us while I'm giving birth (since I am most likely having a c section, it would be scheduled anyways). I don't extra people there hovering around and asking for updates and wanting to see the babies asap. I told them that they could go to the house if they wanted (my parents live 2 hrs north of us and DH's parents live 2 hrs south), but that they were not to visit until we told them it was ok. Since I'll most likely have to go under general anesthesia for the c section, I'm not having other people meet my kids before I do and I'd like to get out of recovery by the time people pop by.
2.) That's perfectly ok. Do what you want to do and what makes YOU feel comfortable. If it hurts her feelings, she'll have to get over it.
3.) Just get a good CC cream . Seriously though, it works wonders and makes you look insta put together. I like this, but clinque is also highly recommended. They are easy to apply and blend beautifully, so you don't have to worry about matching the color perfectly. I wish I could take credit for this, but I actually saw it on a pregnancy blog, and new moms swear by it. I want those new baby pics for myself, and I don't want to feel like insecure about them. You could also request that no pics be taken.

My MIL cancelled a trip 2-4 weeks before my EDD because "like it or not, I will be there when that baby is born". It pissed me off. She lives over 4 hours away so I'm not exactly sure what her plan is. I'm just not going to say anything.

Aww, you're too sweet! Welcome to the dark side! I'm with you on 50 Shades - I keep a copy of 50 Shades in my nightstand.
amshark I feel the same about my mom being there versus MIL. They won't know until I have the baby but I'll call my mom the minute I go into labor. My MIL stresses me out in normal circumstances - I don't need her there then!

I bought a pack of mini Cadbury eggs today. 12 total. Figured they would last a fee days. I just ate the whole pack minus the one DH took.
And, DH and I had to compromise as to who will be in the delivery room. I do not want my MIL in there. At all!! But he does not want her to feel bad, so we agreed it will just be him in there with me. Moms and other family can hang out all they want in the waiting area. As long as they don't bug me!!

ginnyjones82 I'm the one with the big head here. My dad's mom is my inspiration. She birthed five huge noggins!
@ketchup I've done the supps twice in the car on the freeway in Chicago. DH avoids semis for me :-P
1. Working from home means watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix (we're talking all day marathons) while I inefficiently tap away at really boring work. Distractions help me forget that I feel shitty.
2. I took excedrin this morning because this is my second migraine this week after stomsch bug a week ago. DH checked that the main aspirin hazard is in 3rd tri, at least, and the RE gave me preapproval to take it if I really needed to.
I didn't sleep well last night (39w along - can we say uncomfortable??) so i took a nap on the sofa and let DH parent DD. Normally i would've checked that it was ok or that he had nothing to do but i said f it and crashed. Now DD is down for a nap and i have zero intentions of doing a darn thing.
Oh, and i have been praying my water would break or labor would start for awhile now. Pregnancy is tough and I'm ready to be done w it and meet DD2.
I hear you on the intrusive mil. My MIL goes nuts over babies, guilting my SIL about clothes she bought them that the kids don't wear (um, hello, hint), and they love to camp out a hospitals with no clue about boundaries.
I've already told DH that hospital visits are to be prescheduled and ok'd by phone, no drop ins. I'm sure she'll find a way to push in, though, and it already makes me resentful.
For example, she insists on bringing special gifts from Santa at Christmas that he supposedly 'forgot, and dropped off at her house'.... Despite the fact that her sons have asked her not to. I told DH I would go bat shit crazy if she tried that on me.
We lived two houses down from my ILs until 7 months ago - thank god we moved before my BFP! I sometimes feel guilty, because I know she means well, but she drives me bonkers. I could add to my FFFC that I secretly wish my Exs family was my ILs. I love my husband so I deal, but if it was a perfect world...
