I'm grumpy today. My ILs are so awful to each other and we've spent 2 days with them and it just drains me. I don't understand how people can be so negative all.the.time.

pambee That sounds so frustrating. My FIL makes racist comments that drive me bananas. At least we live close enough that I don't have to stay with them.

Ugh my parents are pro wall trumpers and it just repulses me. They live in Florida and I'm in California so when I'm out there we spend a lot of time together and it's exhausting.

I can't stop eating chips. Someone needs to intervene.

tapdancer & Yogurt ugh that's rough. We actually live close to them too, but have ended up with last minute plans both days and nothing is ever quick with them so it turns into a half day affair. We live in a big city with plenty of restaurants and places to go yet every time end up driving 30-45 minutes away to some random place that's just "SO GOOD" that really just tastes like every other place. Drives me batty 😂 it's tough because E loves them to death but I hate her being around them together because they're just nasty to each other and I hate her being exposed to that. Today I thought we'd only be with MIL but FIL ended up coming too so I was tricked!

My mom has turned into a nutty anti-vax wacko. I’m so glad I was vaccinated before she did that. I’m going to demand that she get any vaccine updates needed (pertussis specifically) before she is allowed to come out and visit the baby. For the record, I will also require this of my dad and H’s parents, but I know my mom is the only one who will/might put up a fuss about it.

Yogurt I'm sorry that's rough being your own family. It's easier for me to call out FIL since our interactions are limited. My SIL loves it because he doesn't really listen to her.

Good for you sticking up for yourself.

I have stomach pains. I feel like I either need to poop or pass gas and neither is happening. Blah. This has been a real problem for me this time. I just started taking a daily fiber gummy that's really helping. I tried metamucil drink for a while but it was so awful I could only choke it down twice.

LOL anyway my usual during pregnancy is the runs and not constipation. Not sure right now which is worse. But, I finally pooped and my stomach feels sooo much better.

My parents seem to have similar issues every little thing they do drives each other nuts. So they bicker all the time. I cannot understand why they have no interest in making things better with their relationship especially now that it only them at home. It seems like an awful way to live.

I even took iron supplements with my daughter and they told me it would be an issue and...it was not, lol.

I cannot understand why they have no interest in making things better with their relationship especially now that it only them at home. It seems like an awful way to live. Exactly. A lot of things in their lifestyle over the last 5ish years and I can definitely see how it's affected them, so it's crazy that they aren't willing to see/admit that. FIL has talked to H a bit (and some tmi moments 😲) and they've tried a few times to talk but then neither ever do anything to change or help it. It's like they both expect the other to do all the changing and compromising and aren't willing to admit they're in the wrong. It's infuriating when your parents act like children.

I know it might be a touch early, but I’ve been looking at new baby monitors. Does anyone have one that has 2 cameras and can switch to whichever one a new noise is coming from? I don’t necessarily need split screen, but I want it to stay on one camera and just switch to the second if there is a change in volume (ignoring the white noise). My DD has nightmares randomly and I can’t hear her from my bedroom without a monitor. The one we have now cycles, which would drive me crazy with white noise sound cutting in and out.

Good question, I know we'll be needing another one too because E's room is upstairs on the opposite side so we can't hear her at night without a monitor either, and I like to be able to see her. So, sorry I don't have any suggestions yet but I'll be researching eventually...so I'm interested to see if anyone else has any recs!

Yes I have a pretty basic video monitor that does this. It’s quite cheap/no bells and whistles though. I’ll check what brand it is for you after nap time 😝. Tag me if I forget!

I need a new monitor too. The one I have with DD is crap and is not a video one. I would love to have a video one and one that has more range. The one I had didn't even reach outside, it barely reached downstairs.

With DD we just got a security video monitor and could check it with an app on our phones. Then a cheap sound-only monitor. It was ok. I'm not sure what we'll do. Our upstairs is small so it's not like we'll be that far away. We might put the babies in our master at first, too.
After age 2 or so we didn't even use it with DD. I found that all the little noises she made would wake me up, and if she REALLY needed us, she made it known (loudly) and we could hear it without.
However, we were also in a 950 SF condo last time, now we have a house, so we'll probably need something.

Doctor's office called and genetic testing is in! It's only been a week, so way faster than I expected. Most important is that everything looks good.
They asked if I wanted to know the sex of the babies. It took all my restraint but I asked them to send it over snail mail so that my H and I can open it together. I'll be traveling for work tmmw and Friday, so it seems we will open on Saturday together if it's here by then.
So excited!

Eames, I forget, are your twins identical? Yes they think so, I think they could see I ovulated from one side. Plus they are mono-di.

More fun symptoms!
Canker sores all over the inside of my mouth today. Never had these before and it's just SUPER FUN. Tried a saltwater rinse and almost threw up after 8 seconds. Greaaat.
