MIL just posted on my FB page that she wants a grandson for Christmas.
I am so freaking tired of every single IL telling DH and I to have another kid. WE HAVE THREE. I AM DONE.
I have even asked DH to tell them that I am sick and tired of hearing it.
I'm seriously having a hard time not posting an ugly response.
What was your response? Because I can't think of a nice one and it's not me, or my MIL, or my uterus. Why are people so rude and think it's ok to discuss your family planning, especially on FB?!?
I'm all enraged for you.
That I already have three children and will nothave anymore. Her response... "Tori needs a baby brother."

She honestly has no idea how rude it is.
some people... and to say a "brother" is ridiculous... because even if you did want another, you can guarantee that its a boy and all. this is the same women that doesnt acknowledge your older girls birthdays, right?

No. That's his stepmom. This is my MIL and honestly I LOVE her. But his entire family (MIL, FIL, SIL) just doesn't understand that we are done and I'm sick of hearing it.
KrisB - you could just start telling people that your OB suggested you not have any more. I know that sounds terrible, but making people feel bad sometimes is the only way to get them to shut up.
and FKB, i kind of like the lie. i mean, because obviously if you told an OB you didn't want anymore children, they would advise you not to have more. right? so then it isn't really lying ; )
This BC pill I am on makes me have my period for like 4-8 hours a month. It's just weird.
What are you on? I just started Loestrin, well the generic, a few weeks ago. I'm actually kind of looking forward to having a period. Weird I know. But I was on Lo loestrin for the past 4 months and no periods kind of freaks me out.
I am on Lo Loestrin. Yes, the no period would freak me out, too. I did have one month recently where I didn't have one at all, but the trend has been like a business day.
Ah yeah, apparently some people have a very very short period on lo loestrin. I never had one at all so I constantly worried I might be pregnant. Other than that I liked the pill, I only switched because there's no generic available for it and it was $50 a month. Loestrin comes in generic for $10.
The $50/month & no generic thing is why I am about to switch. That is just crazy to me. And I haven't had a period on it either but I'm definitely not pregnant. Strange pill.
My OB gave me a card that I had to register on line but I get $10 off my out of pocket each month for 12 mos. She also started me off with 4 samples, so my per pack cost is still pretty reasonable right now. If I'm not trying to get pg by the time this Rx runs out, we'll be going for a permanent fix. We've got a year to decide if #3 is in the cards for us or not...
I am such a baby fanatic. I just got all excited reading this and it's not like you announced a bfp or that you are even definitely trying to get pg with #3. I need help.

This would work perfectly for nosy people outside the immediate family. But they would know it wasn't true.
I tell them that I'm not having anymore children unless I can be a SAHM, yet still provide financially at the same level we are now. So if they are up for paying me a salary to stay at home I'm all for it.
So now we've got a dude realtor piping in on the board. My initial reactions:
Someone's playing around on Google search
Becky has a realtor husband named Chris
I wonder if he'll pipe in for more than just real estate matters
He (I thought it might be a girl chris, but I found his profile on HAR) has only posted on the buying a home board. If he's married to Becky, she has a different last name, because there's no Becky with his last name listed

The floor guy is coming out again this morning. I've had it up to here - C dropped a candle snuffer last night and chipped the floor. A very light weight candle snuffer from about 2 feet up. Really? WTF.
After weeks of phone calls, emails and filling out surveys, I finally talked to someone at Penske that was apologetic and concerned about the nightmare of our moving truck disaster. In one 10 minute conversation I got a sincere apology, assurance that they were going to contact the people in Houston in charge of maintenance on the trucks, and a 50% refund on the cost of our truck.

It's a Christmas miracle!
In other annoying MIL news, DH told me this morning that MIL sent him and about 5 others (family I'm assuming) an email with her Christmas wish list. I asked him what was on it and he doesnt remember, but he was floored at the gesture, as am I.

I am obviously missing out on this mass email of a Christmas wish list.
<running off to email my 400 closest friends and family a detailed list of things they should buy me>
i go a ridiculously bad case of he giggles tonight at DS's band concert. it's beginners in 6th grade, so this is all kids who are new to band.
each group of instruments played their own song... when the clarinet group came around, they played "silent night".
i'm new to band and have never played an instrument. evidently hen you don't play the clarinet well, you can make a super loud *SQUEAK* while playing.
so it was a crazy squeak every 3 or 4 seconds. oh my heavens, it was so effing funny! i was dying with the giggles, like crying laughing silently, having trouble breathing. i felt like such an idiot, but i couldn't stop... i looked like i was bawling. the kids' mom was trying to give me a tissue without looking at me because she was also trying to stifle laughter.
Jax, that's hilarious. BTW, thanks for the DePelchin suggestion! Maddie is going to donate her birthday presents to them next week. I'm so proud of her and DePelchin is a great cause.
I think we may have found a house!!!!! Crossing fingers that it works out and we get a good deal.

Dana - DH just confirmed that it was him! lol. I showed him his realtor pic from har.
I finally found a great knock your socks off gift for DH. Today's groupon is an atv tour through the swamp, complete with video of the whole thing. I bought it for him and a friend is buying it for her husband. DH will love it, getting covered in mud and blasting through the swamps. I wish I could do it but I don't think it's such a hot idea and it expires right after my due date. I think our favorite thing in Mexico was off roading driving jeeps through the jungle. I'm jealous of this gift actually.

Could you share this groupon? I don't know what the price range is but I think my DH would love this. And if it requires we go to NOLA so he can get to it, he'll be even happier.
