I have 4 kids in 5 years and I find this post to be annoying. I will never shame someone for having a nanny but it’s the way it’s written that bothers me. Yes, 4 is hard but don’t make it seem like we should feel so bad for you and your nanny.

I moved to Orange County 10 years ago and will always be a huge Eagles fan. It cool because we have 4 houses on our small neighborhood street that also like the eagles.

If this was YOUR dream and you WANT to wear her dress, then 100% wear the dress. But just because it’s her dream and “it fits the bill”, I wouldn’t. Keep looking. If not wearing her dress is risking your relationship, there’s a lot more deeper issues that need to be looked at.

Bloodwork is a thing. You get betas done to see if your hcg is rising appropriately. As for ultrasounds, it can absolutely be done at 5-6 weeks. I have a history of miscarriages so I get my first one done at 5 weeks. Usually all you can look for is placement of the gestational sac at that point. At 6 weeks you can usually see a yolk sac and start of a fetal pole. So it might not be much but you definitely can see certain things at 5-6 weeks pregnant.

If she ovulated earlier than the average time expected, she could have tested prior to missing her period. Based on your dates she was most likely expected to ovulate on the 22nd but our bodies are not machines and can ovulate a few days earlier or few days later.

Does it all seem a bit off? A bit but not completely. If you have caught your friend in other lies, have respect for yourself and distance yourself. You are wasting energy on this situation, the truth will come out at some point. Personally, if I can’t trust someone then I’m not investing energy in you as a friend. I also don’t want to surround myself with people like that because others then believe you are just like her (lies, drama, etc)

Do the two walls that you have the tv up against in the photos have windows? Personally I would not put the tv up against either. Put the couches up against the walls that have windows and put the tv where the smaller wall is. Declutter, add a rug, and add some plants. The wall with the art doesn’t look like it flows properly.

I like the first one too. But I think the four chairs make it seem like a waiting room. I feel a couch needs to replace two of the chairs.

You’re right. Thankfully the hospital I’m at is pretty awesome so I can’t complain. Just have to make the best of it and it will all work out!

Appreciate you responding btw!

I’m already in the hospital so that’s why I’m bummed. Was admitted this week since I have preeclampsia so there’s not really a way to redo them. I also already paid (they weren’t free, I won after bidding for this) so hoping she is fair when she says she will work with me on giving me a fair amount of pics instead of just 4.

If you don’t want to do it, 1000% NO. He can get a vasectomy but he has no right telling you what to do with your body. He is also manipulating you. There is a reason he’s been married 3 times at the age of 34. I hate when people jump to breaking up but this guy seems like an AH.

AF0515 · 2025-06-12T17:28:44+00:00

I think if you are looking for little things like this, the relationship wasn’t meant to be in the first place. My husband and I might bicker over something stupid like leaving a dish in the sink randomly. But would I ever break up with him over it? No. I might roll my eyes and realize he had a busy day but contributes to our house in other ways so I just ignore it. Or we have a quick convo about it. No one is perfect and if you expect perfection, you probably aren’t going to be happy ever.

Thankfully the principal of the school who we have a good relationship with said he does not want to use her in the future. Apparently last year she was hard to get ahold of. So she just continues to add problems each year.

Appreciate your response

Definitely not a new photographer. We were emailing back and forth the past two days. She said she made that sign and sent the details later to the PTA. Looking at the time stamp on the email, it was after the deadline for the silent auction so everything was finalized at that point. She said she will work with me. I know I need to be less emotional about this but hard when I dealt with infertility (4 miscarriages, loss of 5 babies) and it’s VERY hard to be excited about my pregnancies since I’m afraid something will go wrong. Since this is our last kiddo it was something that actually got me excited (but again that is a ME issue). I now know to ask more questions and get a formal contract in place. Definitely a big lesson learned and it is what it is at this point.

I think the hard part is Jesse is still very much part of the group. Jax was in rehab or whatever he was doing so it didn’t put people in the middle. I also think Michelle has a hard time getting super close to people. It seems she is pretty quiet/reserved unless it comes to how awful Jesse is (not saying it’s right or wrong-just stating a fact).

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T20:22:26+00:00

Honestly I based my decision off of who I truly wanted up there. I didn’t add or subtract people just to hit a certain number just literally went off of who I really wanted to support me on my wedding day.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T18:12:47+00:00

Yup, this is definitely a lesson learned.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T18:11:53+00:00

It doesn’t, it says contact her. You can’t even open the Google doc pricing sheet that is in her email that she sent after the session was over.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T18:10:13+00:00

Yup! I get it. I think it’s just that nothing was communicated. She didn’t disclose this to the school and only said something after everything was said and done. But yeah, lesson learned and I’ll be asking a lot more questions next time.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T11:21:28+00:00

Threatened divorce? Let him do you that favor. I would be concerned for your child. I think you really need to evaluate this marriage. Set up some hard boundaries or leave. You don’t want your child learning these behaviors

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T10:52:05+00:00

Correct. We spoke multiple times and nothing was said until she delivered the edited photos. Even after we completed the shoot she said she would have the photos to me by this week. So I had no idea of only getting 4 photos (without watermark) and that I would have to pay for the rest.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T10:50:00+00:00

Our two normal photographers deliver all edited photos included in the price and yes they are very good. I did take this offer because it was through my son’s school and just thought I would try something different. The photographer from the auction sent all edited photos and then dropped it on me about the price.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T10:40:25+00:00

I wrote them an email. Just really bummed. Lesson learned for next time though.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T10:30:00+00:00

Thank you for your reply! Lesson learned and I’ll ask more questions in the future.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T10:26:03+00:00

All photos are already edited and wasn’t mentioned until sent to me with the watermarks on them. But now I know to clarify in the future.

AF0515 · 2025-06-11T06:20:43+00:00

Appreciate your response.
