Happy Mother's day everyone!

I have yet to receive acknowledgement of it from my husband, not even a card, and I've been cleaning up the house by myself so our mothers can come over for dinner tonight. The kids are whining and driving me nuts. DH is watching youtube videos. I think it should be perfectly acceptable for me to whack him upside the head with something. LOL

Totally acceptable BG! Omg, men are so thick sometimes! Mind you, I can't complain. Dh got up early on a late shift day, which is usually saved for his sleep ins and made me a cooked breakfast in bed at 9, so I had a nice sleep in. He kept the kids at the table and let me eat in bed alone before the little darlings gave me all their hand made gifts. Was lovely. He left for work after that, so that was less fun, but it was a nice family morning for me.

Whack away, BG! Good grief!

I told my dh that no way was mom-in-law coming over today. lol! I love her, but it's always a big production cleaning before, catering to her while she's here, and cleaning up her mess afterward. Plus, she's so much easier to deal with if I can have a glass (or three) of wine, which I'm not touching for a few more months. lol! I demanded my day today.

Happy Mother's Day to all of you lovely moms!

Anyone else here have a rough road with nursing (or any other infant parenting topic) that you are hoping doesn't repeat this time?

Oh, me too! My first was a champion nurser and super easy. Went until I cut him off at around 14 months. Second was pretty good, too, though he became a biter as soon as his teeth were in, so he was cut off a 6 months. My 3rd... horrible! He would cry whenever I tried to feed him, and then would I cry, and every feeding session ended in tears for us both. I never could figure out what was wrong—something about the whole process just wasn't working for him. We tried everything and had all kinds of consultants try to help, but it just got worse. The more we tried, the more he cried. Finally, we just switched to a bottle and formula, and he was fine. I felt terrible—he was only 2 months then and I felt like a failure for not going the "recommended" 12 months. But I gained SO much empathy for women who just can't breastfeed their kids for one reason or another.

I woke up at 7:00 and made my own breakfast. The kids were up between 9:00-9:30 and I fed them, then started cleaning. DH got up at 11:00, probably only because the kids started using him as a trampoline. Most occasions I wake up to flowers, or receive them shortly after he gets up, and a card at minimum. The only thing DH has done today is put the ham in the oven and now he's outside washing his Denali and adjusting the sprinklers. He'd better have a damn good present for me tonight if he's going to be this much of a butt today.

Hugs. DH isn't much for making days special either. I am at home cleaning today. Just another day around here.

🙏 for a healthy 🌈 🚼 We're having a girl! 🎀👗

Well, I got two cards from my oldest two from their preschool in my stack of mail. Still nothing from DH. I should make him sleep outside......and then turn the sprinklers on him for my own amusement. Most annoying is that a few days ago he asked me what I wanted. I guess because I didn't tell him something specific down to store, aisle, price, etc., he couldn't think of anything on his own and didn't bother. Well, Father's Day is coming up and that can go both ways.

Gagirl do you mind if I ask how old you and your husband are? Quinn - I noticed in your profile that your DH is 45 - mine was almost 41 when we conceived our second DD in January. Just wondering how much that factors in. Quinn - I've followed some of your posts after you found out and have had the same heartbreak as you. It isn't as intense a month later but I still get sad thinking I will likely never have a son. Plus, I'm sure some of you ladies that have GD - just hearing someone is pregnant it's easy to assume right away that they are going to have your desired sex.

It just seems like we are girl makers as well - I felt like I followed the HE diet to almost a T. I wish I wouldn't have gained so much weight and lifted weights (was doing pilates instead). Gagirl and Quinn - I hear you on people's comments. They've already started - the best was one of my clients saying when I told her I was having a second daughter "That is so boring." Then she added "I hate girls." Needless to say you can kind of guess her personality. She has two teenage daughters and two sons that came later on. Another friend told me today that since my DH and his brother have girls that "isn't it ironic that they are having girls" or something to that nature. Whatever.... (and she has two sons).

Thanks for sharing on here ladies. Seems like a lot of us are getting girls overall!! Did you see from 2015 that the rate of success for boys is 57% so far? So I guess we aren't in the huge minority. Seems like the success rate had been so high in the past for boy sways - and it seemed like it was so much easier to get boys - but with our group it's looking like the opposite!

This is making me so incredibly nervous for my sway
