Basically the title. But I must vent lol..
(Changing some details just incase her or her fiancƩ find this)
Background: Weāve all been friends for as long as sheās been with our friend so around 7 years, and they are to marry in two months. She says she has no desire to start TTC for a couple of years. My husband and I have been together for nearly 11, married for almost 3. Weāre finally expecting our first, and we have thems as our gender keepers to not make either of our sisters upset and we do love them as our pseudo aunt/uncle for future baby:) Weāve talked multiple times before we ever found out about this pregnancy about baby names, and have a common one for our top pick, āAlexander.ā (Just a random name, not the real one!)
Now itās never been an issue, but here lately sheās making comments of how weāre āwinningā or reaching all of these milestones first, but Iāve never seen it as a competition? She wanted to see my baby name list last week, I know mistake number one lol, and kept saying how much my second boy name choice is so much better than the first. My husband even told her fiancĆ© when he brought it up, so what if we both have boys someday with the same name? Whoās to say our kids will even want to be friends? I mean nicknames are huge in my family, so weāll probably call them whatever that is anyway. I have two cousins on my mom and dadās side who I also share first names with, and weāve never gotten confused and itās never been a problem growing up.
I fell in love with the first name before I knew her, and it goes along with my dadās middle name that I would like to pass on to honor him. Especially now that heās gotten so sick.. Heck, even the first name we have picked out is a family name for us just not as common anymore. But really though, if she likes it too and wants to use it for a boy before us one day, then awesome!!
Anyways, we have our gender reveal in a few weeks so I guess weāll see who wins! (Sarcasm!) I donāt know I just feel some type of way with her comments lately. Like itās really not a big deal to me, we have SO many common interests as it is. Am I crazy?
Honestly, I will just be thrilled with a happy and healthy baby, regardless of genderš„°
Thank you for letting me rant hereš«¶
Girllll I was having Braxton hicks/cramping from a stressful morning last week (Iām new to them and I do NOT like them lol) in the middle of the airport at the gate (US airport) waiting for our flight, all seats were filled except for THREE that this older lady reserved with her bags. Clearly she had people with her not present (my hubs was also off to find us food), and when I asked if I could sit for just a second she flat out told me āNO, my husband will be back soon.ā Okay fine, whatever but I donāt need the attitude lady lol. A very sweet older man gave up his seat (directly across from her) and I got to chat with his lovely wife while we waited to board. Just as I sit, the ladyās husband returns. No one else. It was just the two of them. And two seats to hold all of their crap. The wife across that I was sitting with, our husbands, and myself were all completely dumbfounded. Not to say they arenāt going through something, but you can tell I am in PAIN and super uncomfortable. I just wanted to sit for a few moments š Iām forever grateful to the other gentleman giving up his seat and his sweet wife for talking me through a fit of hormonal rage I could feel building up š
People in "priority seating" on trains and buses don't wanna give up their seats
