I've had my girls name picked out for 2 years and already told H there's no ifs ands or buts about that one, but he's refusing to talk boys names until we find out what we're having. I understand, but at the same time, c'mon man!

Question, anyone have a pet react badly to their pregnancy?
My cat (first born, first adopted) is normally super snuggly and all mine all the time. In the past couple weeks she's gotten snippy with me, ignores me, and goes out of her way not to be by me anymore.
She's pretty territorial (she's not a super fan of the other cats - one she tolerates and will allow close, the other she hisses and growls at all the time).
Anything we can do? We already have the pheromone stuff plugged into outlets. I'm worried what will happen once baby comes.

Scheduled an elective US for 12/15 to find out baby’s sex. We are going to have them put it in a card and open it on Christmas. I’m not sure I’ll be able to wait 10 days! Our A/S is 12/15 too! We’re doing something similar, but we’re going to open it with V that night.

We already have the pheromone stuff plugged into outlets. I'm worried what will happen once baby comes. Traditionally, two of my cats show that they don't like that I'm pregnant by avoiding me and they don't really purr when petted. I would guess I maybe smell different? One cat has come around this time, but the other is still not happy with me. For me, things go back to normal by the time the baby is born if not before. All three put up with the kids well with varying degrees of patience. None hurt the children - just maybe a warning smack at most if the kid gets too rough. Or they just run away. Another point people worry about: I had one cat jump in the crib before the baby was born just to check it out, but we chased him out and I've never seen any cat in it since - not that I would let my cats stay in the same room with the baby just in case(we shut the door).

I haven't even started looking at baby names. Boy names are so hard for us. DH liked the name Atlas...because Coheed & Cambria's lead singer named his kid that.

My fellow mint chocolate fans, if you haven't tried Dove's mint chocolate cookies, they are the best. I picked up three bags today at Target. Along with Hershey's mint fudge bon bon bells.

jessila bummer! Maybe you could turn it into a Christmas gift?! We did it for N too and it was the best! I've secretly looked into doing it and surprising H too. He somewhat obsessively watches our spending and all of our accounts are in both our names. So he sees ev.er.y.thing. Maybe I can convince him otherwise. I'm also a terrible secret keeper so I'd have to do it close to Christmas or else I'd totally blow it.

I’ve already purchased 3 bags with the intention of stocking up for the rest of the year 🙂

sammichcat I appreciate good stories about RCS. My c section was intense for me and not pleasant at all. I logically know a lot of that is because I'd labored for 32 hours and was exhausted by the time they took me back. It was also 10 minutes from when I signed the consent form to being in the OR. I'm very hopefully for a less stressed process this time around.

I think we're going to tell the kids this weekend. I'm sure DS (13) will be indifferent, but DD (5) will be thrilled. Then we'll tell my sister.
We've been debating if we're going to send Christmas cards and if we do, should they be an announcement? The only ones I found that I liked (from Zazzle) were more than I want to spend and I'm just not sure I'm up to it this year.

I've gotten a Groupon through Staples the past 3 years for 50 cards for $14. The quality is great and I can pick them up in store so they're done and in my hands in a few days.

So, amazingly, H and I both agree on Finn for a boys name. It's pretty much my #1. The only thing is that my BFFs son is named Quinn. What do you guys think? Would that be too weird?

DH is home with DD today and she has apparently been putting stuffed animals in her shirt all morning and saying they can't come out yet because they're too little.

I don't have cats but my dog, who was velcro prior to getting pregnant, pretty much kept his distance while I was pregnant with DD. He didn't snuggle with me near as much and just didn't care for me as much. He was fine once she was born and now he puts up with her even when she is bugging him. And this pregnancy he hasn't changed at all, he is still my little sidekick.

V likes to tickle but often tickles faces (so basically just scratches you) so we’ve been working on tickling bellies.
Last night he reached out and tickled my belly and said “tickle tickle baby!” 😍

We have one cat that is the opposite. She’s my husband’s, until I’m pregnant. Then she’s up my butt.

Anyone else have pregnancy narcolepsy? I swear I sometimes just literally can not keep my eyes open. Today I fell asleep on the couch in the most uncomfortable position with DD and DH playing loudly 2 feet from me.

robot *waves hand around* I slept for like 12 hours last night, and was still yawning and thinking about bed by 6. Wondering if I should even try to stay up until H gets home.
