Baby Shower Board Lurker and a cute DH moment

Well, I'm a lurker of all boards. But my current entertainment is the Baby Shower Board. Not only does it have cute pictures/descriptions of baby showers (which I love), but it has stories of tacky shower invites and situations. Oh my, some make me laugh quite a lot. Such as charging a 30 dollar cover fee at the door, people having their 4th shower in 4 years, etc etc.

That being said, I wish I was invited to more baby showers. All my close friends are at the "not married, still just going through college and not going to have a baby anytime soon" phase in their lives. Which is great. But selfish me wants some baby to spoil! DH and I were video skyping. He sent me a link which took me to a website with a baby onesie that said "Arrr... someone change my booty". Then proceeded to send me other cute onesies including "My daddy is a hunk", "I did 9 months...I finally got out", "Living proof that geeks have sex", etc. I asked(typed) "So what's with all the onesies?" and he said(typed) "I love to see your expression <3"

Just had to share a moment in which my husband was putting baby on the brain out there all on his own. It's been 3 days since we've been together; maybe it isn't such a bad thing haha

Re: Baby Shower Board Lurker and a cute DH moment

  • AW That is a really cute story!  Wish J would think more like that.  I will do you one better. When I get pg, I will let you be part of planning my shower. ;)  I never had a Bach party or a bridal shower, so I hope to have a good time at a baby shower. 
  • That would be fantastic! I love baby showers! I through one for my SIL, and had so much fun doing it. Unfortunately, all of her friends dropped out last minute and it was just immediate family, but we sure celebrated her and that baby! 

    Trust me, my J (DH's name is Jared haha) usually isn't this sweet. He's sweet, but this was just so forward and enthusiastic that I was grinning from ear to ear! I can't wait to help give you some ideas!! :p Which you don't have to take :p

  • My J is Justin.  And I am Jen.  :)  DH is weird to me. 

    I am sure when I get that far, I will take all the help I can get.  If I had my way, we would be TTC, but life is saying its not time.  I will probably be one of the last ones on this board.  Which means: I can use everyone's advice and experiences.  

    Maybe instead of Vegas, we should all do one big baby party! hehe

  • Yup! J for Jared and J for Jeannine :) I have considered naming our children J's too, buuuut what if we run out and just have one that is left out haha. 

    And a baby party would be fantastic! After the last one of us who has a baby, we'll get together so all our babies can play together! Or we can do it sooner so we can do it several times as more of us have babies ;) 

    I'm TTA right along with you; It's not our time either. DH has 2 semesters left of school, but it's looking like he may be getting a job offer from Amazon at the end of his summer internship. We should know by the end of August (*crosses fingers*). And I start my 2 year grad school program in 3 weeks. So we have to wait at least 2 years to be reasonable haha. So I am (im)patiently waiting while loving all things baby. I say it's not unhealthy my obsession with babies when we're TTA because it's like window shopping: I'm just "looking" at all the baby stuff without the intention of "buying" haha. I'm baby crazy, proud of it, but still reasonable if that makes sense :)

    Aww I love all those names! It's a cute idea ;) We may have a baby J, but if we have more than one, will throw in other names, just because there are others that we like too :)

  • I just copy and paste.

    Husband is going to school for Computer Science and is currently interning with Amazon. He sent me this haha. He definitely appreciates geek/nerd/computer onesies. So cute

  • It didn't show up sweetie.  My husband is a programmer too!  Seriously, twins.  He is also a geologist, but does programming also.

    Click on the picture and copy it.  Then paste it in the text box that you type on.  It should show up right away.

    Just tried again. It shows when I go to edit the post, but won't show in the actual post.

  • Maybe its the picture?  Try googleing a picture of something and try one there.

    There it is. I'll figure this out somehow haha. And yes! Twins! I feel like I'm on this board constantly the past couple days haha. I've been trying to make time fly since Jared is out of state for 8 more days.  

     

    Same thing happened with another photo from google. Grr

  • I don't blame you.  Since we just moved out here, we don't really know anyone, so I spend A LOT of time on here.  People spend their weekends with their families. I spend mine with my internet family.

    Did you know you can link up a website?

    I usually type out LINK.  Then highlight it.  Then up by the smilies in the edit bar, there is something that looks like a chainlink.  Click that, and then paste in the website.  

    Example.

    LINK

  • Yes! I noticed that I'm the opposite to most people here: I have weekends to be online, but am usually busy during the week haha. So I feel antisocial being online during weekends. 

    I'm not sure if the link won't work because I'm using a mac. The smilies won't work either :/

  • Ya I don't know how Macs work.  That must be why it isn't working.

    Yes me too. Mine is a J too, Jerome actually.  That is a cute story! I love baby stuff too, and window shopping for baby things. But based on my luck, none of the cute stuff will be there when a baby actually does come.

    How bout we have a competition to see who is the last to conceive.  It is going to be long, but it should be fun!

  • LOL I in.  I am sure I will loose.  Isn't there someone that doesn't want children on this board.  Maybe they were on the TK board but didn't transfer here. They might win. :)

    I think they didn't transfer over. I know that there was someone, but I know it wasn't anyone who is still a regular.

    I just realized I have a J too.....Joy or Janthana depending on what you want to call her.
