I got just got an email thanking me for my Amazon order. Confused because I hadn't ordered anything I opened the email to see that H had ordered me the glider from my baby registry for Christmas. Except it's the completely wrong color. I had a blue/grey one on the registry and he got a chocolate brown and beige one. So now I either have to admit I know or get the wrong one.

Oooooh that's a tough one. If I were you, I would say something now so maybe you can change the order before it gets shipped.
My confession: I have not cooked a meal in over 2 weeks. I've been eating hot lunch/salad bar at school, and throwing together stuff for dinner, or grabbing a pizza or takeout. DH has been great about throwing together meals for himself and DD. I cannot stand being in the kitchen right now. Too many different smells.

housecarder, If you get the emails for the amazon order could you just call amazon and ask them to change it? Every time I have called Amazon to do anything they have been really great. They have some of the best customer service I have seen.
My only confession at this point is that I was taking a shower yesterday and noticed that I hadn't shaved my legs in a long time. I started shaving my legs and got through one and wanted to give up. I stood there and thought about only having one shaved leg for a long time before I finally caved and just sloppily shaved the other one.

I caved and asked him about it. Turns out FIL had used our prime account to order the glider for MIL because she apparently needs one at her house for the babies. I think soon I'll give up on shaving all together. As it is I only shave them every couple weeks.

The only reason I shaved the other leg is because I have my ultrasound today and although I know that the tech doesn't care if only one of my legs is shaved I feel like it would be weird as I have dark leg hair and it would definitely be noticeable.

Yeah with so many ultrasounds for IVF I just invested in knee socks so I wouldn't give my RE any prickly feelings during the exam.

Can you go on Amazon and change color?
No I would have had to cancel the order and reorder it since it was under a different link. I emailed him though.

I had a ton of ultrasounds with being on Gonal-F too and knee socks are usually my go to as well but all of mine were dirty and it was a choice between laundry or shaving and I thought shaving would be easier... I was wrong.

Laundry is H's chore here so I'd have chosen to shave too. Our house looks terrible right now because instead of helping pick up the slack from me being sick and exhausted he has used it as an excuse not to clean either. I think he is expecting me to deep clean next week when I'm off work. I was planning on sleeping.
I'm already looking ahead at July and planning vacation time/work stuff around a July 7 due date instead of the 28th. I was induced immediately at 37 weeks with my last pregnancy because of cholestasis and the recurrence is ridiculously high so instead of "having faith" or "staying positive" I'm just going to be over here in the real world assuming that I'm going to be getting induced again.

TheTuna15, I'm already thinking about July's vacation too! We always go to the family cottage in July, and this past summer I spent the first three weeks of July there. I totally want to do that again, which might work because I'm due July 29. DH and I have already had the "what if you go into labour at the cottage?" discussion. It would actually be easier to deliver there because there's tons of family to help out with DS, and the distance to the hospital is the same there as it would be if we were at home. But I do not want to make the 2.5 hour drive home with a newborn!
I was gung-ho for no screen time til 2. Then DD became older and in need of more constant entertainment so tv became a bit of a break. Then I got pregnant and started turning the tv on laying on the couch a lot. She'll be ok, right?
I had something long and boring typed up about how my family is expecting me to travel across the country multiple times this summer for family events, but I bored myself to tears.
So my confession is that I'm dying over my coworker's Christmas card. He spelled "tribulations" as "tribulatinos," and I can't stop laughing. Tribu-Latinos!

Tribulations on a Christmas card??
Before I got married my department threw me a shower of sorts. My boss went out and bought tacky dollar store decorations. The congratulations banner was in the wrong order and read "congratulatinos." Forever after whenever congratulations were due, we wished each other congratu-Latinos.
I regret adopting our dog from the humane society.
I have dog regret too. We adopted a 1.5 y/o Dutch Shepard mix from someone who didn't want her anymore 5 years ago. Her personality is a terrible fit for our tiny house + young kid. She is super nervous, excitable and high energy. Everything sets her off. She loses her mind and tears through the house every time my kid yells or runs around. She goes bonkers with excitement when DH comes home or comes home. Needless to say, she spends a lot of time in the back yard. I'm tired of cleaning up after her. We had good intentions but didn't know what we were getting into. We thought she was just like that because she was still young and would calm down eventually. Nope.

She will absolutely be fine. DD has a lot of screen time but she is now in kindergarten and ahead of her class. And she still loves to play outside and do non screen things like Legos, dolls, and coloring.

I was just lurking on GKU's FFFC and was mindlessly skimming and saw thechickencoop's post about thinking she was knocked up at 5dpo and was super confused because I thought I was here and reading something by Ray.

Can you find time to get a trainer to come help you? Or take her on long walks? Being separated from her family all the time in the backyard might be contributing to her nervous and excitable nature.
This is where I should add the caveat that I'm one of THOSE people who believe dogs should be given the opportunity to be trained into a better behaving dog because 9 times out of 10, with patience and persistence, it is possible.

Amazing, I will never forget this for some reason
They put a bible verse or passage (I don't know I'm a heathen) on the back of the card.

A friend got her Christmas cards printed and sent them out. She included her name, her husband's name, and the dog's name. She forgot her daughter. This is the second year in a row she has done that. I always love getting that printed card, and her daughter's name is handwritten on the side by their printed ones.
OH MY GOD HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE???!!?
I hope her daughter finds it when she's older and never lets her mom live it down, lol.

I just commented on this and then when I posted, it deleted. So this is the short version: we got the dog from the humane society after they wouldn't release it to the local rescue that deals with the breed. The shelters goal is to get them out as fast as possible, but they can get more money for purebreds, and that is why they wouldn't release him. We paid $400 for him, not knowing anything about him (because they only have the dogs for a few days). Had he been released to the shelter, we would have been given paperwork with everything about the dog from the foster, after the foster spent 2-3 weeks with the dog (and also working on training the dog), and it would have been $250-$350. After getting him at the end of September, we have spent almost $3,000 on his special food, several medications he has needed for kennel cough, scabies, and a few other things. Our next step is spending a ton of money at the dermatologist for allergy testing. He has selective hearing and will hear anything you don't want him to hear, but when you are talking to him, he will ignore you. We have been trying to work on him with the kennel in five minute increments here and there, but he loses his damn mind. Which means that we have been on house arrest with the dog, since we got him, since we cannot kennel him for a couple of hours. We cannot even bribe him with treats because we are trying to figure out what he has an allergy to. Oh and the best part, he hates the rain. Like HATES the rain. The other night, I took him out three times in a 90min span, because I could tell he had to pee. He stepped off the deck, felt the rain, and raced back inside and then peed on the floor in the house. He better get f-ing used to it, as we live in Washington and it rains like 9 months out of the year here!

DITTO!!! I cooked one meal of crockpot chicken last Sunday and that is it. We've been having takeout sooo much. I feel like I"m going to lose my wife card soon :-\
My confession is that I have hardly gotten ANY work done at work all week. I have been shamelessly internet surfing and I don't even care. Between having my ultrasound on Wednesday and putting an offer in on a house the same day, I had zero focus room! And once the ultrasound was all good AND we found out our offer was accepted yesterday (!!!) its gotten even worse. Monday is a new day, right?

Sounds like he definitely has some separation anxiety issues. That's really tough. What breed is he? I've heard sometimes that those thunder shirts can be helpful for anxious dogs. That's rough about he rain -- from the way it sounds you don't have a way to let him out without being with him (like no fence etc)? Otherwise I'd say just leave him out for like 10-15 min and make him learn that he has to potty and then praise for when he does but if there is no fence that wouldn't really work.

He is a weimaraner. We had another one for 13 years, so we already knew about the separation anxiety when it comes to that breed, and have tried the thunder shirt. If we try and leave him outside, he tears at the door, so we have to be out there. And we don't really mind going out there with him, we just don't want to be standing there telling him to go potty and then have him be chicken shit over a few rain drops to where he wont pee, even if he has to.
