My mom has a bunch of baby stuff for me
SHE's been saving it up, and now she wants it out of her house. I've succeeded in leaving it there so far, but I know she'll try to give it to me again. If I bring it over, I will basically be ready to bring a baby home any second, except for diapers. If someone came to my house and saw all that, they'd think I was fixin' to cut open a pregnant lady.
It's not weird to have a basement full of baby stuff if you are nonchalant about getting pregnant, right?

Re: My mom has a bunch of baby stuff for me
Just store it next to the wedding dress that you bought the year before you got engaged:)
I mean, free stuff is free stuff and perhaps this will leave room in your budget / shower registry for stupid / expensive / totally unnecessary but awesome items. Like a stroller bike.
On the other hand - the superstitious part of me wouldn't want it in my house just yet. What if you have difficulty conceiving and the stuff is a constant reminder / added stress. Or - god forbid - what if something went wrong with your eventual pregnancy? Would it be painful to have those things in your house?
I think I'd ask my mom to just cool her jets for a little while. Hopefully you'll be KU soon enough, and in a couple months you'll know for sure that you have a happy, healthly bean inside and can take everything off her hands then.
i think you should stop sleeping. And don't drink anything that Twan or your mom hand you. In fact, stop eating anything they give you, too. A gas mask might be a good idea as well.
jesusChrist they are aligning forces. YOU AREN'T SAFE
I'm not worried about being upset by the stuff if I have IF or a m/c. I'm just worried about people seeing it and thinking I'm nuts.
Sam is right, though. My mom is trying to encourage the situation. She should focus on getting my sister to find a boyfriend. She's almost TWENTY SEVEN, and no marriage prospects! Isn't that worse than me?

I am starting to think you are less than non chalant about babahs, Fent. There have been a lot of baby posts of late. Are you thinking about the pitter patter of little feet?
exactly...those who protest the loudest. you know, like how angry homophobes are always closet homosexuals.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
Can't you tell her that it's bad luck to bring baby stuff into the house before you are even pregnant? Is there no Jewish ancestry in your family to blame this on?
If my mom lived closer she would be doing the same thing. That lady has bought me maternity clothes when I wasn't even pregnant. Everytime my sister comes to visit she has to tell my mom that she refuses to bring me any maternity clothes.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
clothes, shoes, toys...I don't know it's a tub of stuff. It's probably not as extensive as I'm remembering, but I remember being freaked out.
Fallin, you meet less than chalant in the sense that I want a baby real bad?
If anything it's the opposite. You see a lot of posts because I am under a verbal contract to not take BC and allow my husband to penetrate me no less than two (2) times during my window of ovulation.
Confession: after we do it, I go hop in the shower and....clean myself up. Twan says I'm going to kill his sperm if I clean too well. I tell him he's totally wrong. But I'm not actually sure he's wrong.
