nitecheese I'm sorry your migraines haven't gone away. That's the worst. It's seriously hard to do anything with them, let alone teach a class.

mladerri and babyzebra We've finally upgraded to a king sized bed (after 8 years) and me, DH and our fur baby are sleeping on it tonight for the first time. I'm so excited to finally have room. DH hogs the bed and the dog just sprawls out wherever he wants on my side, so I'm always the odd one out. Now the three of us can rest peacefully (hopefully). Here's a pic of him resting on my belly the other night.
That in-laws thread was crazy. I mean I don't love my in-laws but they aren't nearly as mean or crazy as some of those people. Mine are completely opposite of me and completely annoying and self-centered and rude, but nothing that major has ever happened. I feel like they are in the sweet spot between being likable and not doing enough to justify cutting them off.

That thread was crazy! I was so close to posting my own stories, but I decided that it would just make me more upset. I'm so jealous of people who married into a great family. I would love to have the kind of relationship with a MIL that my sister has with hers. I hope that I'm a good MIL some day!

Ditto. I totally could have posted there, but I'm better off avoiding the topic of my MIL completely.
bgkc4 we have a king and for some reason still don't have enough room. My dog can't sleep in the middle she has to be touching or on me. Those pictures are adorable!

Yes, both dogs *must* be touching me in bed when they sleep. But we upgraded to a King earlier this year and it is much better, especially with my multiple pillow & snoogle situation.
I think we have agreed on a middle name (75-80% sure) Jackson
...Although it rules out my #1 choice for first name completely. (Andrew...DNW to name directly after president) I'm glad we found a good name that represents both sides of the family very nicely, and works well with the nickname we're already using, Sonny.

Well, there's a lot I could have done during DD's nap today (day off because nanny took day off! I'll take it on a Friday), but instead I read that Parenting thread. And I'm only halfway through... so sorry to hear some of you could have chimed in.
I had a hilarious conversation with DH yesterday about pregnancy sex. I was poking at him a little bit about being hands off lately... Turns out he is weirded out by the "the baby is right THERE" aspect of things. Probably poor timing that he felt the baby kick for the first time a few hours later. Him: That's so cool! *gets strange look on his face* Me: You are thinking about how weird that makes sex, aren't you! Him: No! Ok, yes.
Add my H to the weirded out by how close the baby is related to sex. I just don't care because I'm not in the mood ever so it all works out . I also think he is generally weirded out by the belly and the way I look pregnant. Most of the time I don't care but every once in a while I get a little sad about it.
I ate way too many chocolate covered peanuts today. I feel like I could throw up so naturally we ordered fish and chips for dinner. Hahaha such s pregnant lady move!
vivela this is me. I can feel her moving sometimes when we are and it turns me off. It makes it a little weird but I try not to think about it. DH doesn't really get weird by it though which I thought he might but he refuses to feel her kick or look at my stomach when she is.
Today we went to once upon a child for their swimming suit sale and I got the girls a couple suits and found a dress for DD that matches one I already had for DD2. So excited for matching dresses! Also yesterday I went to Marshalls to return a dress I bought for the baby for newborn pictures because I wasn't able to find one in DDs size and thought it would be cute if they had matching ones. Anyway I bought the dress like a month ago and was hoping I could order it on the TJ Max website. Well the United Kingdom site had it but not the U.S. one so before returning it I decided to go see if they had anything else instead and they happened to have her size now. So excited! Thinking DH and I will wear white and maybe I could wear something white and pink. Still early for that but I remember how crazy it was in the beginning with DD and not having a lot of time to get anything before pictures to get anything.
Passed by glucose test "with flying colors" according to the OB, but am anemic again (exact same as last pregnancy)! Glad to not have to go back for another glucose test!
Guys, I had the worst day with DD. And I definitely thought today was going to be a good day. So it was a huge slap in the face. I've never had such issues or tantrums with her before, especially in public before. I definitely lost my patience more than once today, and to top it she never napped which just fuelled all the fire. She also only ate fruit, yoghurt, eggs and teddy Graham's today ... Because apparently that's all that was acceptable.
And I got in a fight with dh today and I just feel like a shitty mom and wife tonight.
cattuccino I hope this weekend is better. Some days just suck. vivela I love how awkward that scene in Knocked Up is, fortunately DH is really turned on by my growing curves, for the moment at least, and if he's worried about it he hasn't let on at all. For me though I can't help but think about it a little!
cattuccino so sorry that your day was not so good. I know our kids are the same age, so to say that I've been there with the public tantrums with DS would be an understatement. I keep reminding myself that this is just a stage that will pass. I'm also hoping that when they get to be a little more communicative that things will get a bit easier. You're a good mom and a good wife. If you weren't, you wouldn't really care or feel bad about days like these. I hope the weekend is much better for you!
Why do people feel the need to ask you if you're excited about being pregnant? I mean if I say no, wouldn't that be awkward?
I think it's just a conversation filler because they don't know what to say. I would rather get that question all day than the "you're so big" or "you're so small" comments. Is it too much to ask for everyone just to say "you look great"?
I tell people the truth sometimes that I'm excited, but I'm nervous more than anything. It's usually when DS is throwing his body on the floor or running around pulling things off shelves. No explanation is ever needed for that response.

Yeah. I think it's a thing people feel the need to ask. Along with "how are you feeling?"
By 30+ weeks the feelings are usually always all bloated, constipated, "like a whale" etc. But people will ask

I say no. The only enjoyment I get out of pregnancy is making people uncomfortable when they say annoying things or cross inappropriate boundaries. Touch my belly without permission? Expect me to touch yours right back.
Also inappropriate - "Was this planned/intentional?" Totally inappropriate and none of your business. But I haven't mustered up the courage to be really snarky and say something like "well, he didn't accidentally stick his penis in my vagina." A professional attorney at DH's firm told the office she was expecting, and she told DH that he was the first person in nearly two dozen who did not ask if it was planned. I was raging for her.
ohiorideresq I wish I could be snarky IRL when stuff like that happens! I've had a lot of unexpected belly rubs & I never process what's going on until it's too late to react.
babyzebra "you look great" should be the new conversation filler!
