I don't go down the baby aisles. Shopping in store for this baby shower would be doing just that. So because I can't handle it right now then I will be shopping online or purchasing a gift card.
Ok, but how is it any different looking at it all online? or receiving her gift in the mail when it ships? I'm just not understanding.
I mean if I buy a gift yea I will be exposing myself to baby items. It'll be easier online or in the mail just so if something makes me emotional I can take a break and be in the comfort of my own home. But I will most likely buy a gift card regardless.

I agree with Nacho. I totally get the difference between being in a grocery store passing by babies/baby related stuff and actually going to Babies R Us or something to buy baby stuff. I can even see doing it online because at least then if you're feeling all emotional you're not out in public. But I'm just thinking to myself that if I couldn't handle the buying of the gift, how would I handle going to the actual shower?
So, I went to lunch with my H and decided to stop at the Costco gas station across the street from the place we had lunch. I got to watch a very sweet looking little old lady completely REAM the attendant because he tried to help her back up to another pump after she tried the first time and ended up like halfway into the middle lane between the two pumps. I mean, she was like cussing him out and telling him to fuck off and everything.
THEN as I was leaving, I went to make a right and this car turning out of the aisle to the left of me just blew through and almost hit me, even though I was already halfway out (the car in front of me stopped, so I was stationary). Since she wasn't looking at me (looking to the left to make sure she didn't get hit) I tapped my horn. She proceeds to start screaming obscenities at me and flipping me off. Then she gets behind me, tailgates me, and follows me for two blocks honking her horn and flipping me off out her window. *eye roll* Ok lady. Please continue to tell me how much of a cunt I am for following traffic laws and alerting you to your error BEFORE you cost both of us an insurance claim.
Yeah, we were pretty surprised at the wardrobe change, especially since we hadn't taken any family pictures yet. (The ceremony took place on a boat and it was so windy and cold, we were all kind of in a hurry to get back on land and indoors.) Ohhhh well.
Wait so the sweats and t shirt will be in the pictures? Now that is funny.
Ha. We wound up skipping any formal portraits (both for the obvious reason and others) but that lovely outfit will certainly be in some pictures. Can't wait.

I hope when you do actually start trying that you get pregnant right away for your own sanity. Imagine having to see BFNs for years?

I may not go if it gets closer and I dont think I can handle it. Today is probably extra emotional though cause it's CD 1. Even if I don't go though I want to get her a gift even if I just mail it.
So you think it's totally okay for people who do hardcore drugs to try and get pregnant? Or you just think I'm a bitch for caring about it?
No, I think you're a bitch for being a judgy bitch. That "meth head" was a friend (or aquaintance, but close enough to share details of your sex life with) and she clearly had a problem. So let's make sure we belittle her, and hold her past against her for all of time. Have you ever struggled with addiction? Then shut the fuck up & mind your own business. You don't "care" about her, you're just nosey & judgy. It's not the same thing.
And why the fuck are you telling some random "meth head" aquaintance that you're TTC? Is that something you share with all the random strangers in your life?

Your comment was unfair. I am not at all trying to compare my pain to someone who is having trouble.

How does CD1 matter, if you are trying to avoid? YOU MAKE NO SENSE.

I'm sorry it's CD 1, but if your TTA why would that lead you to be more emotional?

I started to type this same thing.
If you are TTA, how is CD1 so emotional for you? You are trying to NOT get pregnant. Did you expect to get pregnant while TTA? I'm confused. @rutherily

Wow. There is some serious hostility in this thread...
Today I'm bitching about my hair. I tried to have it dyed back to my natural color so I can grow it out and stop dying it. Well the valuable lesson I learned is if you try to dye bleach blonde hair darker blonde you get green. So I had to dye it dark brown to cover up the green. It's a pretty color but I think it looks weird on me. I feel so uncomfortable in my own skin :-(

Why are you TTA if CD1 & seeing baby items makes you lose your shit?

Yeah I'm not sure I get it either. CD1 wouldn't be a surprise or disappointment if you are TTA...TTA (in your particular case) means you WANT CD1 to come.
I don't really think nachobutt is being unfair. I think she's just saying if you are already depressed about not being pregnant when you are not even trying to be pregnant, it has the potential to be difficult for you emotionally if it doesn't happen quickly when you do start trying.

MH is starting school and would like to wait so we are.

Then enjoy your time H and support him while he's in school. If you're this emotional about TTA I have to imagine some of that stress is going to rub off on him. I get you want a baby but being that stressed out about it when you are TTA is not healthy for yourself or your relationship.

Then maybe you need to see someone, like a therapist, that you can talk to about this. That is going to be a LONG wait and if seeing baby things now makes you upset, you're going to be close to hysterical once he's halfway through school.

Not sure if this is passive aggressive or not.
No wasn't trying to be passive aggressive. Usually the Bitchfest thread isn't this intense. People are usually bitching about bad drivers or messed up drive thru orders lol. I come in like "duh fuck hair" and everyone is in here having very intense conversations. That's all :-)

But do you understand this is coming off? It's worse than people complaining about CD1 or baby stuff after a month or two of trying because you haven't even tried...

This sucks. My hair is currently dark brown right now and I want to get it back to my normal color but I have no idea how to make that happen at this point. Why o why did I ever dye my hair in the first place?? Lol.

No worries, nacho. I still like nachos and butts :-D
