Re: Friday Confessional/Flameful/Whatever you wanna say...
I'll start the IVs. I'm good at it. I can even put one in your neck so it goes in faster
And I agree about complaining about still being pregnant. I would cut off my right arm if it meant I could have my 5 month old baby or still be pregnant with my daughter. Sometimes people forget how lucky they really are...
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Ok thats just dumb.
Our good friend had to have a planned c-section with DD2 because she had one for DD1 and couldnt VBAC (see.... i know things!). so they scheduled her for 37 weeks exactly, and DD2 still had to be in the NICU for 2+ weeks because she just wasn't ready.
you're the best! priorities!
LOL... that's honestly the tip of the iceberg as far as SIL's antics are concerned. I could write a book of all the wonderfully entertaining things she says and does. But I love her.
And things like what your friend did drive me crazy... I can't stand when people are selfish like that. Her selfishness risked her DD's health/life.
I'm pretty sure that I'll have to have a c/s for baby#2... and I know the doctor will probably want to set a date, but I want to refuse if it all possible. I'd like to go in labor if it all possible if it doesn't put my well-being in jeopardy.... And if that means going past my due date, so be it.

My BFF, who is also Evie's god-mother, completely forgot my birthday. I wasn't planning to do anything for it anyway but she told me she couldn't celebrate with me that weekend after because it was her grandma's 80th birthday and her family planned a surprise party. I was not bothered by this at all because, again, I wasn't planning on doing anything for it anyway.
The day of my b-day comes and goes and she never called, texted or said anything on FB. I didn't think anything of it because she always thinks my bday is the 22nd not the 21st. Well, the 22nd comes and goes... the next day, I'm catching up on FB and see that she went out with some other friend of hers on her birthday. She still didn't say anything to me.
On the 30th, she finally calls me and left a voicemail apologizing for forgetting and saying she got caught up with celebrating her grandma's birthday. She didn't mention anything about her other friend's birthday. I didn't call her back because I didn't like being BS'ed to.
The other day, I posted something on FB, and she posts under my status that she didn't understand why I haven't texted or called her back since she called me on the 30th. Dan replied back to her comment "Facebook didn't forget her birthday." As much as I could have kicked Dan for saying that, I was happy he said that... And apparently his words started eating away at her because she sent me this long email about how bad she felt and how sorry she was. I told her she should feel bad and it was pretty insulting to see that she remembered a new friend's birthday and not mine.
I feel like a baby but it did kind of hurt that she forgot.... and that it took her that long to realize she forgot.

-Andy is 95% sure that he is going to be offered a new job. He would make more money, have amazing benefits, etc. I'm pretty sure he'll have to travel more and the company has mentioned that eventually they would want him (us) to relocate. I'm not okay with this. He will be having additional conversations with this potential employer
-We have a temp at work that DRIVES. ME. INSANE! I seriously cannot function appropriately and feel like I don't get anything done. The whole point of getting a temp was to make it so that I could move upward and onward. My supervisors are aware of my frustration and I feel like my entire department is counting the days until its over.
I agree with the unnecessary inductions thing. I'm not even pregnant and I know that because of a medical condition I have to have a c-section at 36-37 weeks and it is what it is. If you can happily carry a baby, even if you're uncomfortable, you need to chillax.
I would also be pissed at BFF Nat. I am pissed as *** at mine because she won't answer my phone calls for the last 2+ days. It is because she's staying with the abusive boyfriend and she can't suck it up and tell me like a big kid.
Stand up for something you believe in.
GROUP HUG!

Ugh, a few years ago my BFF and I went through that, too. Her bf wasn't physically abusive but very verbal. She finally left him... and few months ago she said that he contacted her via facebook. I told her to just ignore him but she loves the attention even if it means bad news.

I'm late to his, but just wanted to say how dumb is that girl to schedule a c-section on purpose for 37 weeks?! Alex was born at 37 weeks exactly and he was SOOOOO tiny and we lucked out that he didn't have any issues and didn't have to stay in the hospital or even be away from us at all for any reason. I begged to not schedule a c-section (which was prior to his heart rate dropping) because I wanted to experience labor. I'm still sad I missed out on the experience but oh well, Alex arrived safely and healthy and in the end that's what matters.
I'm really really hoping to be able to VBAC with #2 or at least go into labor on my own first and try even if I do end up wiht another c-section. With #2 I'll be seeing both a midwife and the doc that performed my first c-section which will be great because she's committed to helping me VBAC and has a good rate of success. Not that we're thinking about number two yet.....
