Lame confession: I'm getting kind of depressed about this pregnancy. Everyone was so excited and happy when I was PG with C and with this kid it seems like the only comments I get are negative: "whoa, two boys, good luck;" or "you're going to have your hands full" and stuff. How about you STFU and say congratulations?
I try to cut people off before they get to the obnoxious comments. "Yes, I'm having a second boy. I'm *so* excited to have brothers, it's perfect for us." Then they look like an asshole if they say something negative instead of "funny."
FTR, I have no interest in a second shower and would decline one. I just want people to stop giving me horrified looks when I tell them I'm having my second boy.
We are TTC#3 right now and I am already dreading the comments no matter what the gender is.
3rd boy = OMG! You're going to have your hands full!!! Good luck!!!! Now you have to have 4 kids to get your girl!!!! a girl = Yay!!! You finally got your girl, you must be so happy and relieved it's not another boy!!! (As if my two other boys are just chopped liver now)
And if I get pregnant anytime soon I'll be right behind SIL who is 10 weeks pregnant with her first kid right now. So I know no one is going to care about my 3rd kid at all.

This is part of the reason this time around we are team green. Regardless people are still not as excited. My parents are finally starting to get excited and I'm about 34 weeks. Hugs, I know that's annoying. Everyone will change their tune when the baby arrives.
Yep. Same reason why we are team green. People are excited but I get tired of the I know it's a boy BS. I personally feel about 50/50 on the gender at this point. I would really be happy with either. But people are so strange that you must have both to be feel fufilled. Not for me. I am done after this. I also wanted to set up DD not to have disappointment either way. She is so excited to tell anybody who will listen that we won't know until the baby comes out.
after going to IKEA this morning I want to convert a room in our house into a playroom so I can get her some of the big stuff like a tunnel and a tent. WTF is wrong with me.

I am 10dpo right now and waiting a few more days to test.
We are closing on our house this week and have a friends surprise bday to go to and our 6th wedding anniversary this weekend. And I just want to get through all that without knowing if I am pregnant or not.

We did this exact think to our (unused) dining room so I could the ikea tent/tunnel combo for L.

We have no playroom. Yet, we have the tunnel and I have the circus tent on her Christmas list. WTF is wrong with me?

Was it crazy there?
actually it really wasn't bad at all. Mosty women/moms shopping today and I got there at 10 when it opened.
the layout of our house just doesn't lend itself well to a playroom (split level, 4 levels, not really open floor plan). I might turn our family room downstairs into a makeshift playroom though. Piano is in there but not much else. It's the room you walk through to get to the garage and our backyard.

I accidentally kidnapped someone's 3 year old the other day. I was out for a walk with the baby and a little boy on a bike and a little girl started following me. The little boy said he lived at the house with x vehicle which was right across from mine so I didn't even think about them following me home. Anyways when we got to his place he just took off, leaving me with the little girl who I had assumed was his sister.
Of course she didn't know where she lived so I ended up just wandering the neighbourhood with her until we found her dad. I was so embarrassed. Here's your kid back buddy. Sorry I stole her.

I had to go to a satellite office today. The original plan was that H was suppose to pick me up and go to dinner (a belated anniversary celebration). He forgot and has to work late. So I'm celebrating by myself. I left work early and I'm on my second beer. I plan on falling asleep in the car. Whee!
Last time I started this because I was bored and it got shockingly long I think.
I wish Hannah would have taken to the wubbanub instead of the MAM pacifier. I also have a hard time finding not ridiculously ugly MAMs.
I think mams are cute and especially as she gets older you will not want some huge thing hanging out of her mouth. Also the mam is a much better pacifier for the palette.
I really like MAMs. I think Wubbanubs look weird with a whole stuffed animal hanging off their face.

I have two boys, and I heard the same comments. Two boys are awesome. They play with the same toys, rough house together, and I have saved so much on clothes this time around. See below for two boy cuteness.
FTR, I have no interest in a second shower and would decline one. I just want people to stop giving me horrified looks when I tell them I'm having my second boy.
It is the worst. You should see the object of pity you become when you are pregnant with a third boy. People suck. Boys are awesome.
My kid hates the iPad. It makes him angry and the only button he's learned to hit is the home button and then he whines cause what he wants to do stopped. Every. Five. Minutes.
It made our flight to and from Hawaii amazing fun. And here I thought most all kids loved iPads. ._.
This is not a bragplaint, it only looks like one. The 5-6 hour flight to and from Hawaii was so damn painful. My friends say I only have myself to blame for not introducing screen time earlier. I want to give them big fuck yous.
You need to enable guided access so he can't turn it off
I want to re-buy all new baby stuff for baby 2. Crib, dresser, swing, nursing pillow, plus rock-n-lay and other things I never had with L. SO far all I've bought is a kick-n-play piano. But the retail storm is coming.
So far, I regret buying the kick n play piano. How's that for lame confession?

People say the same thing about multiple girls. Like "aren't you going to try to give your husband a boyyyy?" ;-$
One of my friends made a comment a couple weeks ago that she doesn't believe in baby sign language because she thinks it doesn't encourage vocalization. Then she again commented this weekend about how she thinks it's stupid. I probably took it more personal than I should have since we do a few signs with DS, but I felt like she was hardcore judging us about it.

B doesn't even play with his circus tent much to my dismay. And if it makes you feel any better, while I LOVE his playroom, he prefers his bedroom because it's carpeted (or because he's a jerk, I don't know really).

Turned in guided access in settings it will stop him from being able to do ghis

my sil is convinced it delays speech because "why learn talk when you can just sign"? i dont even bother trying with her.

I also love mams I hate the " I love cheerleading " ones or the like, but they have cute non saying designs. I think they are far cuter than most other pacys. I too think wannubs are stupid. It's fine with tiny babies, but once a baby is crawling or walking its weird to have this big thing hanging out of their mouths
