TTC My mom is pretty negative and judgmental as well. I wouldn't think so much into when or how I am telling her if it wasn't for the delicate state she has been in most recently. When I was 18 and 20, with my first two pregnancies I was terrified. Now at 31, I am confident and after 7 cycles of trying this baby was definitely not an "oopsie". I'm so sorry you have to endure interracial comments and judgments. My SO is Sicilian - has dark hair, a beard and a darker/light tan complexion. My mom really embarrassed me by asking him questions like "Are you Mexican?" She also threw in "So... you haven't been married? No kids? How much money do you make?" We were out to dinner and I was mortified. She noticed he smokes (cigarettes) and said "Oh there's one strike against you" and that he drinks "Oh there's strike two". She just has done nothing but judge him and make him feel unwanted
And ironically, my dad both smoked and drank!
kd I'm so very sorry
Praying you will join us again soon!
xLaura I had Cheerios with honey drizzled on top this morning before work. I am STARVING and didn't bring anything to munch on besides oatmeal. My stomach is growling like crazy and I feel empty. It's snowing outside now and I'm thinking a delicious soup in a bread bowl from Panera sounds amazing!
Laidee Happy 6 weeks! Hope your bum feels better, I'm sure that was scary!
I've been having some XXX-rated dreams. They always involve my SO and are HOT
My boobs hurt so bad when laying in bed. I need to get a special pillow because I'm a tummy sleeper. These are perfect!
So I spoke with my sister yesterday and told her the news. She said she kinda knew (no idea HOW
) and congratulated me. She suggested that I invite my mom over to my house and that it be just me and her when I break the news. My SO is going to take my kids out for a bit while I do that. Then if my mom is up to it we can hopefully all go out to dinner. I called my mom and invited her over and suggested that we could possibly go out to eat. She replied with "Oh I really don't want to do anything" (for her birthday, which is the 31st) and I assured her it wasn't any celebration like that and we wouldn't acknowledge her birthday if that's what she wanted. She said she's been missing my dad a lot lately. I know the feeling
So she's coming over this evening... I'm so nervous! But it needs to be done and over with. Wish me luck!
My first appointment is tomorrow at 3:30. His mom wants to come with us even though there won't be anything significant happening this time, just a pregnancy test and a bunch of talking - no exam, no heartbeat. She doesn't have to work tomorrow and I guess she's just really excited. I'm glad his family is so happy and anxious, I just hope there isn't someone tagging along EVERY time... not to sound mean.
I know it's really early and I wasn't planning on buying anything for ages yet. But I saw the cutest Winnie the Pooh baby grow and I just HAD to get it. Were staying team yellow this time, so I'm only going to buy a few things neutral as soon as baby arrives ill either want blue/pink but I couldn't resist.
