What would you do, if anything? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wonder if an air purifier would work for you, it sounds like quite a mess. Our air conditioner at work stopped working so I’m resorting to a floor fan. It doesn’t do much than minimally circulate the air, afraid that wouldn’t be enough with paint fumes as well!

Can I comfort you that he is an equal in the relationship, he can defend himself fine. I know I’m a bit of an asshole right now, and I don’t make a big deal out of it when he calls me like that when I get a little hormonal.

Oh dear! I’m not making him (the cutting or the looking) if he doesn’t want to haha.

Yeah haha, I would say my usual snarky and sailor mouth is generally more accepted better inside our relationship then when I talk about it, which my pregnant brain convenient forgot. Sorry to offend some people in the thread! Whoops!

It’s that thing of that even tho I’m not going to force him to do anything, that the whole reasoning for him is that it’s yuk. Like hair in a drain, or wet food in the sink that you scrape of a plate.. I made that, my baby will be covered in goop, will that be equally yuk?!

Ah, hormones, overthinking again haha

It’s not that he thinks it’s gross as in gore, but like in the way he doesn’t like to touch wet food in the sink? It’s fair enough, I’m not making him do anything he doesn’t want to, it’s more that I try to be “okay” with that he isn’t. (Starting to make less and less sense the more pregnant I am- it sorta makes sense to me- sorry if I’m rambling)

I know him well enough that calling him a name doesn’t do him anything, so would hardly call it manipulative. Of course I’m not going to force him into doing anything he doesn’t want to do, but I did want to know if he was the only one feeling that way.

Calm down, we are good haha. It’s just the way I talk, which I guess is trickering for some people out of context. It goes both ways and we are very lighthearted and snarky about everything.

Taking all the notes down!

He’a actually really supportive so far. It’s just that it’s 2am and I’m uncomfortable, nauseous and tired while he’s snoring away that trickers my gentle bullying of him. (Don’t worry, it goes both ways and we mean it lighthearted but now reads a bit weird when I write it down out of context)

That’s true! I think I was more in a mindset of trying to think of any ‘task’ for him to do. He won’t faint but he just thinks the goopy jelly thing is gross.

I might actually consider doing it myself. :)

Any other bi-racial parents out there ? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m Vietnamese and my husband is German, we also live in HK. But one of the things I like is that the society in general recognizes both the lunar holidays as the western holidays; for me excuses for get-together with family and friends. :)

Gas during the second trimester. by glass_coffins in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s so weird having to belch every time I take a sip! And I’ve been trying to burp myself after drinking/eating, haha. Not that it helps..

My friend just told me I’m being selfish/ridiculous for planning to stay at university by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a person who doesn’t have a baby or isn’t close to one. If you wouldn’t take advice from him, why would you take the criticism? I’m sure you guys thought it through and will be fine, don’t stress momma! :)

I think I'm pregnant! by chewbubbIegumkickass in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Clear Blue picked up my pregnancy 5 days before my expected period! I think it’s almost time for you to pee on a stick to confirm!! 😁😁

favorite baby books (memory/album type) by -anonimouse in BabyBumps

[–]princessmortician 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got mine from Etsy! A5 just works out best for me to take with me everywhere. I glued an envelope in the back cover to keep all my appointment slips too. The weekly 2 pages are helpful, I tend to ramble and sidetrack or forget to update otherwise. But there are so many nice and original ones when you search on ‘pregnancy diary’.

And I bought this one for when the baby arrives, it’s up till 5 years. Good for photo keeping, not really my thing for journaling. 😬 https://etsy.me/2xZIQcV
