I hate people commenting on my body. I hate being told that I'm so small for how far along I am. I hate that most people feel like I'm being a bragger when I complain that people are commenting on my body. I basically hate that pregnancy makes every one think it's okay to comment on your weight or body. I know being told that I'm 'small' would be a compliment, but it makes me feel like they're judging my ability as a parent based on my body size. I promise I eat, no you don't need to put extra portions on my plate. No I don't need to be told every time I leave your presence to 'feed that baby'. Fuck off.
I agree. I hate how because my pregnancy is obvious people take that as meaning it is a public issue constantly open for comment and discussion. What I'm eating and how I'm feeling and all that is NOT your business, random stranger. Plus I have like no patience for people some days and of course those are the days where every annoying person decides my pregnancy is their topic du jour. Ugh.
I'm the cheese a holic wife/mom that ordered this today:
And I'll find a cute dad shirt for DS too. I just thought it was cute since it's going to be H's second Father's Day (DS's birthday is 3 weeks later so just missed it that year!) and he'll more than likely have a new baby around.
My kid has discovered Caillou these last couple of days. It's the worst children's show ever.
I had a mom friend warn me to not even introduce it, lol! So far, so good. Sorry it's been discovered in your house!
I always avoided the channel whenever it came on but I didn't change the channel fast enough one day and now if DD sees it, she wants to watch it. Thank goodness she doesn't ask for it yet.
My chihuahua loves people but has never met a small child before. This weekend he met a little boy who was 1-2 years old. He did not know what to think of the little boy and was not friendly. Then the boy cried because my chihuahua wouldn't let him pet him.
Hopefully he will get used to little kids once we have the baby.
My pup has never been around small children, yesterday four little kids bombarded her with love and told her how cute she is. I was freaking out, hoping nothing bad happened. Apparently, she is an AW because she loved it and was giving kisses. Phew. Crisis averted. Hahaha
I'm sure your pup will become best friends with your little one! Might be different when the LO lives there. Hehe

Thanks for the advice you guys! I think I will talk to my supervisor about dropping creepy client and talk to my husband about an alarm system. I think I'll want one even more with a baby in the house.
I stayed up for three hours last night. Long enough to make a cheesy, gooey breakfast sandwich (which I dipped in syrup), get heartburn, hate the world, and finally fall back asleep for 2 hours. I wanted to punch my alarm so hard this morning!
p.s Getting SCRATCHED? From within? I'm terrified.
Well, we're under contract... inspection is scheduled for Thursday, and hopefully all goes well. H and I are so excited! After living in the DC metro with crazy high COL (buying there was basically a pipe dream) and renting for the last 9 years we are SO ready to be able to own a house and personalize it however we want.
I can't wait to have a garage, a laundry room, a kitchen that's bigger than a closet, and a yard!!!!
I get to paint!!!!
Sorry for all the exclamation points, I'm just a little bit excited.
Amen on the getting scratched! It happens a lot and makes me worry that she has “Coko from SWV" nails!
Is this the tickling feeling I have been getting lately? It's really weird and makes me jump. I am so not a fan of it. I can't even describe it to DH. It just feels unnerving and I try to make her move when it happens.. I don't remember this feeling with my other two but then again I don't remember a lot of the little things that happened with them.
I am fully aware there is a name board...however, DH and I just randomly discovered a name that we both like, but I want some opinions if you'd like to share. We stumbled across Lauren and we really like it. My father's name is Lawrence, his grandfather's name was Loren, and his sister's middle name is Lauren. We like the Lo sound more than the Law sound. We are having a girl. Is Loren primarily seen as a boy's name still? Any other options that aren't completely cray-cray spelling anyone can think of?
My niece is a Lauren and has aways been pronounced lo-ren, not law-ren, fwiw!
I have a shitty principal/boss who is not backing me up and I spent the second straight day on my feet all day keeping a physically violent kid away from other kids. I got whacked in the boob once and hey, I make colostrum!
So my ankles are huge again. Super painful, too. I had sneakers on, too!

FWIW I like it and it reminds me of Sophia Loren which is cool, IMO and unique without being yoo-neek. Good luck!

I do see the Loren spelling as being more male, but my bigger concern would be setting her up for a lifetime of saying "Loren with an O" and getting Lauren written down half the time anyway. Mileage varies as to how big an issue that is, but I say if you like Lauren, just go with Lauren.
Haha wormgerm, in totally feel ya on that GIF! 2 nights ago H and I were on the couch and he was like "damn nugget, you're dancing in there!". It went on solidly for a good 5 minutes too.

The spelling "Lauren" is definitely female, "Loren" is male. "Loren" is not at all popular for a guy these days because the name is pronounced the same way as "Lauren" (at least in the midwest we say them the same!) and these days, definitely associated with a girl. She would never be mistaken for a boy if spelled "Lauren". "Loren" could cause some confusion, agreed with neongreen.
I know one male "Loren", a friend's dad, and he hates his name because he is mistaken for a woman all the time. But you should be fine for a girl!

My back hurts so bad. Even with a Tylenol. Thank God for heat packs.
And someone asked me last night if I was due next week. Lady, if only. I've gained 17 lbs, and my love of ice cream ensures I'll be gaining some more!. Cut me a little slack.
Heartburn is a bitch - doesn't matter what I eat (and if one more person tells me it is, I will cut them - happens when I'm hungry, when I eat acidic foods, when I don't, at 2:30 am every night ... Ugh). Had my first "is it twins" from a coworker. Confirmed with the other ladies in the building that it's just what he says to pregnant ladies. Not cool dude. Not cool!
I may have just had a bad people person day...
On the fun side - my sister got to feel the baby for the first time which was fun. Kiddo is super active, and it was nice to see someone else feel it

Around here (mid Atlantic) everyone I know pronounces Lauren as Loren. Loren is more of a masculine spelling, so I don't suggest you use that for a girl. Other Laur names are Laura, Laurel, Lori (as a standalone but feels a little dated), and Lorelei. Lauren is a timeless classic (spelled this way) but Lorelei and Laurel are on trend now.
