So the weirdest thing has been happening lately. I gave actually heard little popping noises coming from my belly. At first I thought I was just hearing things, but after a few days of it, I know it's not in my head.
I finally looked it up today. Apparently it's somewhat normal, and likely doesn't mean anything. It's hard to pinpoint the specific reasons, but I found this list and they all kind of make sense, although I hope it's not cracking joints - that one gives me the chills lol.
Anyone else hearing these pops? I definitely didn't have this with DD.
I just complained to DH that I don't know how I'm supposed to sleep when I feel this way. He told me "Oh I know better than anyone how you feel." Fucking excuse me? I told him he doesn't know he responded by telling me that he has a hard time sleeping too, so he does. I pretty much just yelled at him that if he doesn't shut the fuck up with that "woe is him" bullshit he's been spewing at me in fake empathy, I'm not going to be responsible for my next actions or words because just don't even hint at the fact that you know what 9 months of pregnancy feels like. BECAUSE YOU DON'T!! WTF is with the men thinking they know?!
All I can say is, after I have this kid, as long as the GD is gone, I swear to you guys I'm going stuff my face with everything I haven't been able to have to the point I make myself sick!
I told DH when I get released there better be smorgasbord of fried, fatty, & sweet foods waiting on me because it's ON!!!
When I had GD with DS all I could think about was how I could eat unlimited amount of fruit after delivery. One of my friends sent me an edible arrangement after we got home from the hospital. It was amazing

DS1 has a bestie who is 5 weeks younger than he is. Her mama (a really good friend of mine) checked in to be induced almost 24h ago.
It's KILLING ME that I have no news yet!! But I know how long it could take and I don't want to be a pest and contact her first and blah blah blah... so, I will twiddle my thumbs and wait.
And yes, our first borns are 5 weeks apart and our second borns will be approx 5 weeks apart. Awesome!

I have 2 friends that were pregnant with their sons when I was pregnant with DS. 1s boy is 10 weeks older the other is about 5 months younger. Both started TFAS around the same time DH & I did. It kills me neither of them are pregnant yet. (Trigger warning: 1 did get pg but had her 3rd MC). I'm still FXing that one or both will get pregnant before I deliver. I'm sad we didn't get to go through pregnant together again and that our younger kids won't be as close in age. But more I'm just sad for them bc I know the waiting sucks and they're both awesome moms and really want another kid.

Awwww, I hope your friend. is successful TTCAL! and the other also gets KU soon too!
Baby Boy has arrived! He was 10lb 5oz. (approx 2.5lb larger than his big sis). And now I'm officially scared about having an equally giant #2!

Wow!!! Was she past her DD? CS or did she push out that big boy?! Congrats to your friend!
My best friend had a boy 6 months younger than my daughter. She just had a daughter 4 weeks ago and I'm due with my boy in 3 weeks (we were 7 weeks apart). It's been so fun going through pregnancy together and brought us even closer, I just wish we lived closer to each other and could see each other more than 3 or 4 times a year.

She was induced on her due date. And he was a vaginal birth. She says she pushed for an hr, and it hurt much more than big sis.
But, her DH is 6-4", and comes from a family of tall boys. She was expecting a bigger baby, but I don't think quite this big! (she's also tall, but slim). I seriously don't know where she carried such a big baby, she was tiny!
This is such an AW post but I'm so proud/appreciative of my husband right now and I had to put it somewhere! He has been meticulously putting up the curtains in the nursery for hours today. He's had to go to the hardware store twice and it isn't easy putting things in our walls because the windows are off center, studs are in weird places, etc. It is so adorable how perfect he wants them to be... And he's done it all with minimal cursing!

My husband is such a perfectionist and we have a lot of the same issues with our walls. Except we have TONS of cursing lol. He isn't really a guy that swears a lot, but when he is working on something, watch out!
My mom won't stop complaining about the cost of my shower next weekend. IDK - I don't think I should have to hear it, especially when I didn't ask for any of it. We suggested the venue (which she's getting for free) and said hey, get some pizzas! We're not fussy and she's making it fussy and overblown.

Does anyone have a really good things needed for baby checklist? I'm going through all my baby shower stuff and pretty much nothing from my registry was bought but I don't want to return everything and I like a lot of the stuff people picked out. I just have no idea what to save and what to return and what I still need to buy. Sorry in probably being a SS about all of this.

I wouldn't return any clothes yet since you don't know how big your baby will be. Maybe just hold off on washing them except for wash a few newborns outfits and a few 1 month outfits so you will be ready in case baby is big or small. For a list of completely necessary items I would Google and read a few different lists and narrow down from there.

I think I found a really good list. I have too many clothes. I have about 50 newborn onesies(not including footies or outfits) and at least 50-60 onesies up through 12 months. My SOs mom went crazy and bought a ridiculous amount of clothes I didn't even register for any. I knew that I would still end up getting a crap ton of clothes though.
Ladies I need a good movie suggestion. DH is out for tonight, the kids are asleep and I am so bored just sitting on my couch. I don't have cable, just Netflix. Any suggestions?
Do you want comedy? Ball your eyes out? Romantic comedy? Thriller?

Get the book baby bargains. Best purchase I made with DD. Helped me with everything.
pghtruelove, what kind of stuff are you missing that is on your registry? And what kinds of things did you get from your shower - is it mostly clothes and random stuff?
Do you have a carseat (most important!), washcloths, towels, clothes - incl a handful of footed sleepers, diapers, diaper cream, nail clippers, sheets for the crib, a crib!, a crib mattress, bottles if you need them (most need a few even if you EBF - for pumping maybe).... those are definitely the big things to start off that I can think of - other things can come later mostly.
ETA: I just read your latest comment, and dear God you do not need 50-60 NB onsies/sleepers!! I don't care how little your LO is, my LO wore NB clothes for a good month and we didn't need nearly that many. I had maybe 30 0-3 month which she also wore for a good 2-3 months and we didn't even use all of those!
I would pick out a few favorites to wash and keep tags on all the others until baby is born. That's an insane amount of NB clothes!
I have a question about the Target registry completion discount. I bought 4 things off of my registry today at the store, but completely forgot to use the coupon that they sent me (and to have them taken off of my registry). Anyone know if they'll adjust for me if I just bring the coupon, receipt and registry printout to guest services? If I need to, I could return and re-purchase the items, but that's a lot of dragging stuff around that I would prefer to avoid if there is an easier way. It's hard to say no to a 15% discount!
Target is usually pretty good with price adjustments so my guess would be bringing in the receipt, the registry and the coupon would be enough for them to fix it.

Agree that is way too many clothes!!!! Especially newborn since they usually grow out of that phase so quickly

I'm sorry that is really not something you want to hear.

That's awesome! Mine had a bitch of a time hanging pictures in the nursery yesterday because the frames had stupid hooks... Then I decided they were all too close together and had him redo them. It's so cute to see them contribute in their little handyman way. (even with a few swear words.)
So I stopped biting my nails in January (thanks prenatal vitamins) and recently started painting them. I took a $10 risk and bought Sally Hansen Miracle Gel just the top coat. And it works!! I use it with whatever nail polish I want and my nails don't chip. Just thought I'd share ?
