Cycle 1 day 1. Who's with me? *update* It's a girl! Congrats baby_bray!!!

[mailcmm]

Tell me about it. I said to dh are they gonna take off as soon as Finn arrives? He said probably. It's insane. I am just used to family visits that end with you bagging them to go cause they have been there a week. Lol even exs family would come and stay. And on the Christmases that we did at my parents house when they lived 7hrs away they would come with us. So I don't understand family that isn't family... If that makes sense.

 

[moter98]

Sad they have to be that way. But they are the ones missing out!

 

[mailcmm]

I tell myself that but it still hurts. It may seem silly but dh was the man of the house for 15 years before we met and sometimes I think they are jealous that there is a new woman in the picture and that I come first. I also think its hard for me to swallow cause I have never experienced this. My other sil... My bros wife... We get along famously and her family will be with us for Christmas and were going to come up to the shower (8hr drive) but her mom is sick and just called to say she can't make the drive. Not a big deal but I just get along so well with all my friends and their families that I can't understand it. Sorry I know I am obsessing. I tend to get a tad uptight when I have to see them. Mainly because I feel like I have to watch every word and try to look my prettiest and make sure I do everything properly.

How are you feeling? Still taking it easy? I can't tell you how relieved I am that the tear healed for you. We are all really paying the price to have these babies. It's ridiculous how hard this journey has been for all of us. And in such different ways. We make quite the crew. Lol

24 wks today!!!! We hit v-day! So happy. Hoping for another healthy 12 weeks at least!

So mad. That dressing bought for the shower came and doesn't fit. It was on sale.... For $95 mind you.... So they don't do exchanges or returns. I am stuck with it. Looks like I will have to sell it on eBay.

 

[Twinkie210]

Yay for v-day!

I started feeling really crappy earlier, nauseous and crampy, I was about ready to leave work and then all of a sudden I felt better and have since... I think this little guy is just playing tricks on me!

that makes no sense why you couldn't exchange or return for a restocking fee or something! have you tried calling customer service? maybe if you ask someone will help you. i've never heard of a place not allowing exchanges or returns. that's outrageous. especially for a clothes item. each brands sizes can vary so widely. i have clothes that range from small to large! it's all in how the brand sizes their clothes

sounds like baby is gonna keep you guessing. he's gonna be a baby that keeps you on your toes.

so we are still working on a baby name. I love Alexander Grant, but dh doesn't. he suggested Austin. I like that name and would be willing to compromise. Only everytime I suggest a middle name for Austin he says no, lol! I wonder if he will still be trying to decide when I'm in labor.........

Urg, I had that same thing happen when I was preg with DD. Bought a dress to wear for a wedding, then it didn't fit my bump! And of course maternity stores don't do returns and such. I hope ebay is the solution for you. And happy V-Day!!

Tell him if you compromise on the first name, then he will have to compromise on the middle Or just do what I did and say you better choose something I like, because I am filling out the birth certificate

haha!
he's just so indecisive about it. would have been so much easier were it a girl. we already had the entire name all picked out.

 

[mailcmm]

Thanks guys.

Moter I like the name. Keep working on him. Lol

Twinkie... Still hanging in there?

Afm... Shower day. Was so busy yesterday not preparing. Lol so I ran errands and got a pedicure. This am I am having my hair styled. I have nothing else to do. Can't wait to see what they have done to my moms livingroom. Dh has been cooking since yesterday at 3pm. He came to bed at 4am and told me to wake him at 7. He has made all my favorites.... Potstickers, negamaki, summer rolls, edamame hummus, Asian bruschetta, stuffed chicken wings, and (just because no party in my opinion is complete without them) pigs in blankets. Lol my sil got a cake and my mom is doing chocolate covered strawberries. My best friend, her mom and sister shower up and surprised me last night. They weren't originally going to make it but wound up being able to last minute. I am so excited. Haven't slept well at all. It's like Christmas. My dd has done all the shower games and her BFF from school spent the night. I had no idea dh was going to do such a tedious menu so I am going to grab a few of his favs today for a gift basket like I did for sil. (as not to be confused sil will be my brothers wife. And esil will be for Dhs evil sister.) lol gaslight anthem has a new album and he needs a new knife so I will get him the Shun hes been eyeing as well as a few comics and maybe a tee shirt. He has worked so freaking hard. The girls at the grocery store apparently fell in love. They told him "you must like veggies" he said I am cooking for a baby shower tomorrow. They said "awe!! Is the beer for after?" he said yeah my wife is the best and they said "omg you're the daddy and cooking for your wife's shower?" and he said yeah all her favorite foods. I could cry. He did all that, took the kids to school and picked them up so I didn't have too. I love that man to pieces. Well photos later. Sure you will all see bunches on fb. According to everyone who has seen the room my sil out did herself and my dad is livid over the price tag. So in her true style she went big. Lol she does everything big though. Am kinda worried because she looked like she had been crying yesterday. I think her and my bro are on the outs again. They really need therapy. He's never gonna forgive her for cheating. Drama llamas are everywhere over here. Lol

haha! i will try. he's not even sure about the name Austin. he suggested it, then said maybe. don't know why he's having such a hard time deciding this time.

i am so hungry right now, lol! tell your dh to send some of that food my way. what a sweet man you have. hope your shower goes perfectly today. can't wait to hear how it went!

 

[moter98]

mail, since you love coupons and saving money and such, just thought i'd mention that cardpool website has dsw gift cards for 9% discount.

 

[Twinkie210]

I hope the shower goes well mail!

Yup still hanging in there! You all will know from FB when this little one decides he has had enough! I thought that I would go into labor this morning because I had cramps in the middle of the night, but nope nothing! I am beginning to think that the cramps are intestinal related and not contraction related!

I measured my belly and it is 48"!!! I may explode before my c-section

 

[colta]

Oh my gerd! I'm so tired today! I feel like I got hit with the sleepy truck. It's 9pm here, and I've been ready for bed since 6pm.
I feel bad for DH, I've been a major crank pot today... yelling at him, at the dogs, the cats, the car, the fridge... you name it.
I'm going to sleep like the dead tonight.
