My company offers 10-min chair massages once per quarter and I just had mine. OMG. It felt fantastic and I also felt like I was gonna die at the same time. She had one pressure point so hard that my arm started to raise up involuntarily. Whew!
Anyone else experiencing "pregnancy congestion"? I swear I feel like I've been sneezing nonstop for months and it's getting worse. I don't normally have allergies. I don't have a cold. It's annoying because it triggers round ligament pain every time I sneeze.
I've mentioned the friend of mine that struggled from IF here before, and when she announced her pregnancy, she got a million, "I hope it's a girl this time!" comments. People just don't think before they speak. Oh, it took me three years to get pregnant, but yeah, if it doesn't have a vagina, I guess I'll send it back. Right.
I hate those comments anyway. I don't understand the thought that a family isn't complete unless they have kids of the opposite sex. Maybe I'm biased because I grew up with a sister, but I never felt our family was "incomplete" because I didn't have a brother. I think it's just such a weird idea and I don't get why so many people are concerned about it.
I hate when people say they hope it's one or the other! My husband asked my FIL what he wanted for xmas and he said '2 granddaughters'. It totally rubbed me the wrong way. I'm still stewing over it! I wish people would just keep those thoughts to themselves.

Omg I hate that too. Everyone wants this baby to be a girl. It is what it is. I'll love it either way and don't have a preference.
My mother actually asked if this was a girl if I was going to be "done" having kids. Umm, no. Also- what the hell does it matter to you? She's constantly hinting that I should stop at two.

I hate people voicing gender preferences too. I'm thrilled that we will have 2 boys. It seems so much easier to do what we already "know" and I have all the stuff! A girl would have been great too to experience both, so we really didn't care!

Ugh, I've already had several people say "Oh you're having a boy so this means you're going to have to try for #2 to have a girl!" I'm like... um... I'm only 15 weeks pregnant. Let's focus on this one first. Also, thanks for feeding my fear/obsession that at 38 years old I may have no choice but to be one and done

That's awesome! We have something similar at my office. The masseuse rubbed me the wrong way though (drum hit for bad pun!) she asked me if I was so warm because I was going through menopause. I was 28 at the time, and desperate to GKU. Never went back to her again.

Why on earth would you ask somebody that?? Again, people with their clueless comments.

Add me to the train of already being tired of hearing "Bet you're hoping this one is a boy".
Don't tell me what I'm hoping for. I'm hoping for a healthy baby. Don't assume I have a preference (though it's completely legit for moms that do, but understand that "preference" does not change the love a mother has for their child, and the emotional turmoil you put a mom in by voicing them and making them think and feel guilt about it when they do have a small hope or preference).
also. If my baby is born with a penis - it doesn't mean my baby will be a boy. My baby may identify as a girl. My baby isn't born yet, let me baby decide who he or she is and will be in their own time. This aspect also hurts when people comment about "complete families" what do they say to those families that have babies with one penis and one vagina that then identify differently down the road? Are they suddenly incomplete?
Right. You're the one that turns the other way and pretends you never knew that baby at all.

That's so annoying! People said that to me also. It made me annoyed because I am so happy to have a boy, and would have loved to have a brother for my son, or a sister, it doesn't matter, I just want a healthy baby and my friends and family should too!
So I just notifies there are lice in DDs preschool.
I also hate everyone assuming we are only having a third to see if we get a boy. Yes that would be great, but doesn't make the girl any less loved. Everyone keeps saying they are hoping and or praying for a boy...we have not and probably won't share that it is a girl.
I'm making peanut butter kiss cookies (peanut butter with hershey kisses on top) for a few Christmas events. The only problem is that as I'm unwrapping tons of hershey kisses, I keep eating so many of them. No self control.

Gah! Lice are my nightmare! Hope they don't come to you!

I literally can't make these cookies because I eat too many.

I can't make them either because of the same reason. Same thing with the "Christmas crack" saltine toffee. I cannot eat enough of it! SOO good!

I just downloaded tapatalk to upload a pic to that thread....and this is SO much easier to comment than logging into the site from my phone every time. Idk why I waited so long?!

Agreed. I figured out how to stay logged in on my iPad somehow but never can stay logged in on my phone. Tapa talk is annoying I some regards but it works well enough!
I can't decide how or when to tell my coworkers. I told my boss last week so now it doesn't really matter if/when the rest of the team. I just don't know how to bring it up in normal convo.
Two things make me think I should have came "out" today or should do it ASAP: -My nephew is going to be visiting my office tomorrow and he is very vocal about how excited he is for his new cousin and how there's a baby in my tummy. -I'm going out for "drinks" with coworkers tomorrow evening for a farewell to someone who's leaving.
Maybe let my nephew do the talking for me? Or let people speculate when I don't order my usual? I'm feeling pretty chicken about this.
