Today was Colin's last day of school until February and I gave his teachers gifts and one of the cards with the picture I took. I've had three parents call/text me today asking if I could do their family Christmas pictures this weekend. I am shocked and kind of overwhelmed but want to try! I've told them I am just learning but would love to. I am kind of excited but I feel the need to please people so I'm afraid I'll have anxiety over getting the best pictures.
How exciting!!! I would have you take mine. You can do it!

I'm nervous. I really just luck out with a good picture of Colin here or there. I am hoping it will be easier with someone else's child/family since mine is always on my hip. The one family is 3 boys all in HS so it should be easy. Ahhhh!!

Good luck! You'll have to show us how they turn out.

I'm on the tipping point of a meltdown today. Ughh I need to get through what will be a frustrating meeting soon but I just want to throw myself on the ground in a heap and beg for the rest of the year off.

rainbowchip, I got my glasses before kindergarten and don't remember ever not wearing them. The winter fogging thing does suck, but I played sports (soccer and floor hockey in elementary and tennis in high school) without problem.
TrudyCampbell, at my last gyno appointment she and I chatted for half an hour afterwards (me still naked waist down with a sheet on my lap) simply because I was enjoying being out of the house by myself so very much and didn't want it to end.
H and I found out today that we (well, really he since it's in his name) qualify for the refi program for people underwater on their FHA mortgages (don't ask me for details on the program, I have no idea). We're not behind on payments, so we thought we didn't qualify. It might save us $100 a month w/o lengthening the mortgage. Yay!!

I feel the exact same way and I have some LONG weeks ahead of me still. I think we both need a drink!
When I make our holiday cards, I always put my name, then DH, then the girls. I'm a rebel like that.
I always do this too. Also when I'm signing off on birthday cards. If I'm the one writing the card, I go first. When/if H ever decides to write a fucking card, then he can put himself first! LOL
I understand. It is soul sucking sometimes, lol. Most of the time I was okay with it, but at the end of pregnancy like you're getting to, it does get old. And fast. When there's two, it will have to change. You will have to just hand him one and divide and conquer. I bet he'll end up taking the little one because it's easier, lol. But it'll be okay because you won't have both.
I know it seems intimidating, but truthfully, so far, going from one to two has been easier than zero to one. I have been pleasantly surprised by that. I'm not as scared/nervous as I was with A. I'm a little better at getting out of the house when I need to, because the process is familiar, not overwhelming. You will do beautifully.
Agree with cream! It's way easier with 2 - the separation of labour that is. Divide and conquer is exactly it. Each of you always have a job, it's simple - no one is left standing around or being the default parent. I love that part of it, when DH is home.
I always had guilt and hovered around when we just had DS1 and it was H's "turn". There was always wondering who had the kid when we were out. So much easier now.
