I'm irrationally pissed at my OB. I know the baby should stay in longer and yada yada yada, but I have 3 other kids to worry about. I don't WANT to go into labor in the middle of the night! If she weren't going on vacation next week, she would induce me on Monday. Now I have to wait until the NEXT Monday.
Seriously though, we are getting a nice tax return this year and we are using some of it to put up a fence, but we are also getting some "mad money" each to buy whatever we want. If I were pregnant, I'd be insisting on a 75/25 share of the extra.
We found out we are getting a nice tax return. I will be disappointed if my husband does not decide that a chunk of that should go towards a fancy push present.
I'm ready for all the "my baby was the only gift I ever wanted" comments. That's right, I want a baby AND a sparkly present.
I never thought about getting a present with Max, but my H got me one.
Now he has set the bar and I am expecting another one come June. His fault, I say!!
I realized last night that I don't know any cities in New Jersey. Like what is the big city across the river from New York. I feel like people just call it "Jersey" and that can't be right.
So I'm obsessed with eyelet dresses and clothes. For me. I always have been. I love cotton voile and breezy spring clothes. *sigh* in my designer life if I could design just Spring and Summer I would be a happy designer.
So when I saw that light blue eyelet Baby Gap dress at the last sale... I bought it.
I realize this is quite bizarre but it didn't come in my size! I figured if I ended up not being able to use it for my family I will find a little girl who can.
Not cool, Campbell. We are in a fight. Im also in a fight with every single person that liked the comment.
Ya this! . Im to poor for the big city. But I know damn well that there is a huge difference between being from New York and being from New Jersey. I'm not messing with New Yorkers on that one.

Don't tell that to the RHoNJ ladies. They might throw a table at you.
I like NYC, from afar and looking at the pretty skyline from the mountains.
haha, there is a new girl at work and she is from Southern California. A bunch of us were eating lunch together and someone make a derogatory Jersey comment and she totally didn't get it at all.

I'm Team Trudy on this. I told MH throughout my pregnancy that he did not have to get me a push present at all. We'd tried for years, and this healthy baby girl was all I wanted. And i meant it. HOWEVER, I said over and over that IF he did get a gift that it needed to be special. An heirloom type gift that I could give to her when she has her first baby. I specifically said it should be jewelry. I even said, when he asked, that it would mean a lot to me to be able to have that moment in the future with her of giving her something that he gave me, since I have a horrible relationship w my mom and that would never happen for me as a daughter. Fast forward to labor. 29 hrs after my water broke I'm finally pushing and my Dr makes a joking comment to my H about me deserving diamonds after this. He replies "She gets whatever she wants for this, trust me!". Two days later he gave me a gift. Picture frames. From Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm still hurt and angry when I think about it. Flame away.

so you can hang up photos of your beautiful new gift of a baby because you didn't need or want anything else
Great mom moment here: I opened the living room window for the first time since Autumn and went into the kitchen to do some cleaning while Caleb looked out the window. I heard him babbling and tweeting at the birds.
A few minutes later I went in to check on him--to find that he's pushed the screen out and climbed up on his piano and was leaning half out the window. Oops.

PICTURE FRAMES!?!?!? You should see my face right now.
One good thing my MIL did for me was tell my husband it is customary to give your wife nice jewelry when she has your child.

Sadly, my MIL pushed that for every bday and holiday since my engagement and never quite believed MH when he told her I liked experience gifts and things over jewelry. When I actually mentioned jewelry as a new mom gift in front of her she dismissed it as a new thing and "what new mom has time to care about jewelry?" All in front of MH. Grrr.

PICTURE FRAMES?? Wtf?
Yeah. He bought one for photos of each of our pets and one for the new baby. I had mentioned seeing them and said they'd be cute in passing. He still won't apologize for it. Says it WAS thoughtful. I have cried too many times over it, not bc of the item, but bc to me it feels so thoughtless. I'd rather he just hadn't gotten me anything. Pre-baby he was always a rockstar gift giver. Every occasion he knocked it out of the park. Not so much with that.

I'm getting sparkle and I don't feel guilt over it. We can admire our new sparkle and new babies together.

I was promised sparkle, but I still don't have it. It's partially my fault for not deciding what I want. But what I want is 3 diamond right hand stacked rings, which isn't in the financial cards.
