Hi!

How is everyone?

It was a tough weekend- back at work today, and super tired.


We were "dragged" to H's sisters' 4d ultra sound, and I was really creeped out- I would never say that to her, but when I get pregnant, nobody but my husband will be in the room for ultrasounds/delivery and such...

How was everyone elses' weekend?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way- there were EIGHT people there! his parents, her mom and step mom, one of his sister and H and I, I felt so awkward. I understand you're excited, however I'm not going to be as excited as you, it's not my child!

    I'm with you, Britt. I didn't want anyone in the room besides us (there were so many on the medical team that the room is full anyway). To me it was intensely personal - you're going from a couple to a family. It's a big freakin' deal!

    We did bring DS to my ultrasound with DD though, but again it was the three of us. DS sat on my lap, looked at the pictures, saw his sister for the first time, and gave her her middle name.

    Exam week = bored Jenny! Supervising ALL week!

    Jenny - That's very different. I can totally see bringing your kiddos in for that. Also maybe it's a little easier to explain to them. 
    But I wouldn't take my SIL to my biannual skin checkup at the dermatologist, why would I take you to see some of my insides on a sepia-toned screen?

    Jenny- See that I can see, bringing a young sibling, however this was all adults. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but it's like this isn't my kid, I'm never going to be as excited as you- there just isn't a nice way to say this. lol

    Is it freezing Jenny? everytime I want to complain about my cold FL weather, I think about you, and tell myself it could be worse lol

    I think it's weird, too. How do we feel about posting the ultrasound photos on facebook? I put it in the over-share category. 

    Nothing special going on here. I'm making subbing in the classroom more regular. I used to knock subs who just read the whole time, but now I see most of the time, I've been left crappy sub plans. 

    We ordered our STDs last night!

    Britt, that is super weird.  I've also heard that ultrasound parties are the new thing.  Um, no thanks.  This experience is for me and H only.  

    It's freezing here today - somewhere around 10 degrees.  I don't know how you guys deal with temperatures below 0.  I can't even handle 10 degrees.  I just want to hibernate right now.

    Eh, I will probably post an ultrasound pic on FB.  Mostly because I'm excited and want to share.

    Side note: I think 3D (or 4D) ultrasounds are super creepy.  We will not be doing one of those.

    They're actually pretty cool- however I feel like it's REALLY creepy to bring 8 people to it. IDK I guess it's to each it's own, I just felt weird and awkard the entire time. But again, how do you nicely say I think thats creepy.

    another thing that is apparently the new "in" reveal parties, I think they're silly and a waste of time and money. Just call/go out to eat/text hey we're having ________ bleh. apparently I'm moody today.

    I get that and I think posting once is probably okay, but my issue is the daily wedding countdown, the make sure you rsvp, every week prognancy countdown, etc. I seriously always have my judgy pants on when it comes to oversharing on facebook. I have so many I take off my feed. I guess it's the purpose of facebook, but it's just not my style.

    yeah, I never got the whole wanting to have a room full of adults witnessing something so private. They weren't part of the conception, they shouldn't be at the rest!

    We're back in the -30s this week, so it's warmer. I'm hoping to go snowmobiling this weekend - when it's as cold as it's been, it's not much fun, especially since my helmet frosts up. I'm looking at heated helmets this morning online!

    Sunshine, I hear you about the subbing thing. Sub plans are different from 'regular' plans, and most teachers leave pretty crappy ones. I had a sub in for me last week, and she stopped me in the hall yesterday (she's a regular) to thank me for my plan - which was nice. I tried to give her a lot of details, including things she needed to know about the students.

    Up here though, subs would never get away with reading in class. The expectation is that they'll teach, and the school board has instructed the classroom teachers not to leaving movies etc for students in their absense. It's a regular day!

    Jenny, I was left with "they have flashcards to study"... well, I'm a dance teacher and I have the same age kids, and I know how well that would go, so we did a practice quiz, I quizzed them, etc and the classes flew by. Had I had just sat there, I would have been so bored. The second half of the day they worked on a group project, so I see the value, but I was bored.

    Yeah, I agree. I used to have a 'bag' of tricks for subbing, so that I could supplement the absent teacher's plan and fill up the day. My favourite was setting up a campfire on the smartboard, having the kids sit around it and read stories.

    I'm with everyone else on the oversharing thing. Once is fine, daily is a bit much.

    Britt, we need all the versions of these...

    We haven't put our date or anything on facebook yet. I'm sure after they get their STDs someone will post about it, but I'm not going to. I don't think it's anyone's business and theres a lot of people I would love to invite, but we just can't.

    <div>Agreed.  I know people who post weekly or even daily wedding or pregnancy updates.  So unnecessary.  </div>

    lls, I'm probably a little extreme when it comes to my personal account, but I don't mind when people aren't crazy. But I even saw a status about finishing paying off student loans, which is great, but why on earth does facebook world need to know about it? Shouldn't that be a personal triumph?.... I guess I'll get off my soapbox now :)

    I told FI about it and I secretly hopes he gets them for me for Valentine's Day hahaha speaking of Valentine's Day, does anyone go all out? When I was in college we used to meet in Boston for the weekend, so I consider that pretty big (hotels, train tickets, meals, etc). I told him I'd like to keep it small this year, since we're saving for out wedding.

    I totally agree on the Facebook over sharing. Do we really need to know exactly how many days until your wedding? Speaking of which, someone I went to high school with posted last night that she is excited because she is going to be and GRANDMOTHER!! Really! I feel very old!

    We usually do a simple date night for V-day (like dinner and a movie) but this year, H will be in TX for work.  So I will be spending V-day cuddling with my dog.

    Uhg, Jenny, that really sucks. I don't know if you all remember the modcloth dresses I posted a while ago (ps-HUGE sale right now!) but FI really wanted me to get the black, lacy back one, but I have no where to wear it, so I'm thinking nice dinner out the weekend before/after.

    We've been apart the last 3ish Valentines Day. I'm not holding my breath that he will be in town. H always sends me something at work and he's super nice and supportive about it, but we don't have traditions. If he's in town we will probably just make a nice dinner together and not fight the crowds. Also we both used to wait tables, and we both agree that it was the worst night ever to work, so we can't help but have waiter guilt when we go out on VDay. Just a weird personal thing.

    As for gender reveal parties, I'm a sucker. I love them. But the two I have been to have just been a cookout that the parents themselves throw, and at the end, just bite into a cupcake and that's that. No presents, no games, no huge guest list. nothing fancy, just an excuse to get together with cake at the end. WHO HATES CAKE?
