hehe, my cousin's wife gave away all their baby stuff because "Three is enough!" which is how I'm getting their hardly used travel system from baby number 4

yep, and i bet you in a few months they will regret it!
i had a nice bassinet that i loaned my sister..and she gave it way on craigslist! what a jerk.

i was wondering..with the advent of digital cameras and such, do you think that the newborn baby photo people that show up at the hospital are suffering for business? i only bought a set with one of my kids and they werent that good.

I hope you all don't mind, but I need to vent for a moment (just skip this if you want to).

Back in September one of DH's friends, the friend's girlfriend, and their baby (3 months old then) moved in with us b/c they were having hard times. The deal was they would stay for 2-3 months until they got back on their feet. Well, it's been over 5 months and they are STILL HERE. Mind you we have a 2 bedroom house that we just moved into in August. The bedroom they are in will be the baby's room, so I haven't been able to do anything yet. On top of that a lot of the boxes from moving are still in there and I can't even unpack b/c they're here! I am so beyond frustrated it's not even funny! Meanwhile they aren't paying any rent or the electric bill or anything else b/c they're "saving money" to move out.

Thanks for listening. I feel better now.

forget that! make them leave! i would be losing it.. i let a friend stay once, and he wouldnt do anything to get on his feet so finally, we threw his stuff in the car and dropped him off at a friends. i couldnt handle the freeloading anymore.

Kelly,

the freeloaders need to go. Between the two adults they have to have parents/relatives/other friends/SOMEONE else that can take a turn putting them up until they get on their feet. They know you're expecting your own baby and need to get that room ready... and they ought to be ashamed of themselves for not giving you anything for their upkeep! Nope, time to tell them to use those boxes to pack up and get out. How does your DH feel about this?

 

[KellyHM]

Thanks for the hugs guys. DH is ready for them to go too, but since they're his friends he tries to be more politically correct about it. He also feels like I "blame" everything on them - the house being dirty, the electric bill being higher, etc. - and maybe I do, but it's MY house and I'm tired of sharing it! He also doesn't understand how I had roommates in college for 7 years and am having so many problems now, but the roommates in college all paid rent, electric, cable, etc. Money is tight and I'm getting aggravated that we're struggling and they're living for free. Never in my life have I gotten off free like that. A couple months should have been PLENTY of time for them to get on their feet with 2 incomes. They have told us they're moving out at the end of this month when they get their tax money, but they haven't even found a place yet...

ETA: When they first moved in they were VERY helpful about doing things around the house, inside and out, but have gotten just plain lazy...

Getting ready for my OB appointment. I get my RhoGAM shot today, yippee (not). I hope they find a need to do an ultrasound today... I haven't "seen" him since I was 18 weeks along!

 

[agnes_day]

i go next week..and after that, its every 2 weeks for the next month and then comes the once a week appointments..so close!
i got a rhogam shot with my first 2 kids but i never got them again..i wonder what changed? or if i was rh negative to begin with anyways.

next week we are going to talk about inducing early..i think it would be so great to get a "due date" that was concrete.

--
if i were you, i would start making them pay for their own food and toiletries...start locking up the soap, shampoo, and other stuff.make them feel unwelcome! granted, i am not a very gracious person i guess but i would make them want to leave. tonight, only make enough food for you guys and then lock the rest up! they are adults, they can start providing for themselves. if it comes down to it, stay with a friend or at a hotel and tell your husband that you arent coming back until they are gone.

nah, she's adamant that they are NOT having any more.
I'll probably offer it back if they need it anyway

can't believe your sister did that! Tell her she owes you a nice bassinette!
