You are 29 weeks pregnant.

GLENNIN- What do you mean by 'she keeps making references to my age?' I'm a bit confused.

Can anyone suggest a really good brand of diapers? I was going to purchase gdiapers, but I've heard bummies are good too.

sept-mummy every time I leave the room my husband has my boppy pillow. We have 4 other pillows on the bed, yet he keeps grabbing my boppy. It obviously is good for not only pregnant women. bluebeanz you tell them.

Well we are having baby #3 and we are not yet married. Common-law yes. Do I have a ring? Yes, we are engaged (officially as of last year). But we haven't 'officially' gotten married. And to be honest, I really don't care. It will happen when it happens. Right now our baby/children are our priorities. We have been together for a total of 9 yrs. (we split up for 2 1/2 yrs. when our oldest dd was only 9 mths old) and we have been back together for a LONG time & the happiest we have ever been! If people want to judge me, I say go right ahead. You haven't lived my life or walked in my shoes and who is to tell me that they know what is 'right' for MY life! And anyways, any woman who has experienced pregnancy would know that extreme swelling could happen... We are VERY pregnant in the hottest months of the summer (at least here anyway). My two cents. :D

Sara-play dumb. it always works. when she sends you a few nasty texts in a row, respond a day later saying, my phone is messed up can you send it to my boyfriend's phone? Or for facebook or whatever you are on just say that you don't check your account that often so you miss her messages. Be nice! She will get eventually that you really don't give a hoot. I would respond but not right away to any one of her messages. Sounds like you need to cut her out of your life, I know she works with your boyfriend but it is possible to 'loose interest' in an associate.

sarah- I'm so sorry that you friend has done this to you. was she ever like this before? . . . . I believe in life you have friends and true friends. it don't sound as if she was ever a true friend. you are doing good by ignoring her. again, I'm sorry that this has happened to you, it has to be hard. ((hugs))

fortysomething- It didn't bother me that she had taken the name as much as it bothered me that she was blaming me for stealing it from her.... haha. when I had told her the name before she even knew she was pregnant and she had said she'd never heard of the name before. So I've learned me lesson. I definitely will not tell anyone the name we choose for our next child. :) I'm going to ignore this girl and never speak to her again. If it causes drama for my boyfriend at work, then so be it. At least she wont have anything she can say about me b/c I'm not arguing with her. :) I'll bite my lip and just move on.

Sarahbrooke I understand why you are pissed. That is why I refuse to tell anyone the name I have finally chosen for my son. It may seem selfish, but People really do steal names. Its crazy. I know we don't own these names, but a competitive friend or foe will do that. I've seen it happen to others, which is why I won't divulge the name to anyone, not even my own mother cause she's loose with the lips. I just don't want someone popping out of the woodwork before me naming the kid the name I chose, so I won't tell it til he's born. As far as the one-upping, I had a friend at work like that she was so annoying. Her competition was actually her own cousin, not me. They both were constantly trying to outdo one another. She just had a competitive personality. When I brought a new car the same make as hers, she all of the sudden decided to buy a BMW, even though she and her husband had just purchased a new home. When she could not get that, probably because she couldn't afford the payments, she opted for the newer version of our cars, despite nothing being wrong with hers. It was only 2 yrs old. Sad when people compete like that. Especially when they are the only ones in the competition. Sometimes you just gotta keep some things to yourself. I say my real friends are happy for me, not jealous of me.

Ladies.. I am so furious.. Tell me if any of you are going through the same thing I am. I have a 'friend' who found out she was pregnant 7 weeks after I found out. My boyfriend and I would go to her house and have game night with her and her husband around the time we first found out we were expecting. We had already had a name picked out for a boy and a girl, but were not sure on middle names. We told her the names we chose and she said she liked them and had never heard of them. So later on when she found out she was pregnant, she told us that she was going to use Analeigh (the name we picked out) for her child's middle name if it is a girl. At first it didn't bother me.. The only time it started to bother me is when she claimed that WE stole HER name. Excuse me, she's the one who said she had never heard of OUR name and now she's planning on using it.. Funny, huh? Well she went on to make me feel bad like I'm the horrible person and how it's 'wierd' that we chose that name. WHATEVER. Well, things have gotten worse from there. everytime she texts me or we see her, she ALWAYS asks about how our pregnancy is going and how her room is coming along. So of course, I always reply that its going well and explain to her what we're doing with the nursery. And of course, after I finish talking or even before I'm done, she'll cut in with what she's doing.. And try to 1up me. She always has a better story or she's ALWAYS further along with the nursery than we are. This is reallly childish and immature and it's getting on my last nerve. I can't say anything to her about it because my boyfriend teaches at the same school he does and she's the drama type that would start things and run her mouth around the whole school making US look bad when in reality its HER. So the final thing that really made me mad, which is the reason i'm posting this, is last night I made a post on facebook about how excited I am that the nursery is coming together and painting will be done this weekend. She proceeds to update face book with these exact words 'WoW! How old are we that you still must try to 1up me? I give up you win for life! You happy?' The funny thing is, this is coming from the QUEEN OF 1UPing. I am trying to be calm and not say anythign to her.. Because I am the bigger person and I AM more mature than she is. I update MY facebook for my family members out of state because they are always asking how things are coming along with the nursery. I don't give a shit what she's doing with her room or how far along she is with getting her nursery together. Not once did it cross my mind that I was comparing my nursery to hers. I DON'T CARE! Sorry for the rant.. But it really gets to me. I've tried not talking to her, not answering her text messages, etc.. But she keeps sending them. And when it has nothing to do with her pregnancy or mine, I'll answer and just try to have a casual conversation without bringing up any baby stuff because she always has to be better than me. This seems like a lose/lose situation. If I continue talking to her and tell her how I feel (without being rude of course) she'll go to her work (where my boyfriend works) and run her mouth to everyone.. And if I stop talking to her completely, she'll still do the SAME thing. Ladies, help me out.. What should I do? (again, sorry for the extremely LONG message)

I refuse to invest in a new wedding band no matter how cheap for 2-3 months until I'm able to put my old rings back on. My rings are beautiful too, but I had to get them sawed off before they cut off my circulation. Trust me I tried all the techniques and none worked. I felt bad having to do it, but it beats an emergency room visit. I now have a bare hand with only an indentation and light discoloration of where my ring was. It feels a little funny, not having it there, but at least I still have them and my hubby. Wedding rings, though sentimental, are material objects. I wouldn't sacrafice my finger for them. About people talking, I really don't give a rat's ass. I don't know why you guys worry so much about that. I know I'm married, my children know I'm married (and not separated) so who cares what anyone else thinks. If someone is gonna judge you because you don't have a ring on your finger they are assholes. If they look at you in a different light just because you have a band around your finger (even if its fake, put there just to shut them up)then what does that tell you about what kind of person they are. That type of person's opinion doesn't matter to me. Why go out of your way to try to make them happy or to shut them up? It won't matter, they'll just find something else to talk about concerning you. You can't win. As long as you know the truth and are comfortable. I wouldn't try so hard to gain acceptance in the eyes of people who really don't matter/count in my life. Their approval isn't required. But that is just me.
