I live in Virginia Beach, far south east Virginia. We have a baby shower at my mom's in Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia 3 hours away. Is it unreasonable that my husband's friend that's pregnant travel an hour to hour and a half to come see him/us after we traveled most of the way (she's in Southern Maryland)?? Esp since I agreed we could make a gift bag for our other pregnant friends? I feel like Why do WE have to travel the WHOLE way and she travel none??? I'm pregnant too damnit and car rides are uncomfortable
Well hopefully they will show up. Especially when it was planned to far in advance. I do that with my kids birthdays and people still give excuses that they had previous plans.
Ya, he's contacting his friend now and his other friend and seeing if they can meet down in Fredericksburg. I mean at least at the shower they'll be fed etc. If we go up there who the heck knows. @roche.mommy6435 I just wanted him to see that knowing that this baby shower plan has existed for 2 months, that is PLENTY of time to make arrangements if theyre such great friends.
@twinpeanut exactly. I had to not eat most of the day in order to make it. It was so terrible. An hr really isnt that long.
I do too. After about an hour I have to get out of the car @roche.mommy6435
I get really car sick this pregnancy even when i drive. And i drove from Arizona to Ohio to see my best friend. It took 3 days as i was the only driver. I think an hr drive wont kill her lol
Ya, that's what I was telling him. I told him she needs to meet us somewhere because she needs to be reasonable. We are using gas and money as well as my discomfort and more risk for blood clots @rebeccca3009
@twinpeanut, that's quit a drive for being pregnant from va beach to southern Maryland. I live in southern Maryland and it's always a long drive from here to anywhere else.
There's too many excuses; idk if they have a car, idk if her bf will be off, etc etc. Tough titty. This shower has been scheduled for 2 months @breloya
It's not just you and it isn't unreasonable. What is unreasonable, is her thinking she can't make an hour trip because she's pregnant, when you're also pregnant and doing 3+ hours lol. What sense does that make?
My pregnant friends are coming to the shower bc im only making this long trip once so i will give their gifts there. I don't mind
Thank you. Just thinking it wasn't just me. I told my husband that like idc but being in the car for hours at a time is rough with a few pounds of baby sitting on me @breloya
She can either travel the little hour or not see y'all. That's selfish of her to think you should travel 3+ hours and then on top of that, another 1-2 hours just to see her. She can put in a little effort.

Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

That type of thing pisses me off. One of my gfs is still butt hurt bc she messaged me saying she was moving her shower from Sat to Sun. I told her I could make it on Sunday. She left it at Saturday, as I told her, I couldn't go. I offered to bring her son's gifts over to her house. She never answered me. Her son is like 2 months old now. I friggin tried. Oh well @roche.mommy6435
