Hello Fishes, I'm in my NP and lwd is sep 19th. I gave technical round for Accenture last week. It's cleared and same is reflected in Accenture portal. Even HR called and discussed about salary and offer negotiations. I agreed to the amount that she said. After that she told that i will have to attend a final Managerial round.But still she hasn't arranged it. When asked about it today,she said that she is looking for a interview slot with panelist. Anyone know what's happening in this case? Acce

Oh welcome to being a mom. Where gifts for you are really gifts for the kid, the house, etc. š
I think you should tell him - he sounds like heās trying. So I guess I would tell him that while those gifts are definitely useful, you are headed into motherhood and just need some assurance that he sees you as his partner and not just āmom to his kid.ā Then give him some ideas - maybe his go-to things like wine, etc. are just not options now and heās scrambling or whatever but definitely help a dude out and point him in the right direction!
Great advice, thanks. Thatās exactly how Iām feeling, like Iām not an individual in his eyes anymore
Heās trying. It seems like an overreaction to getting a gift. Talk to him about what is at the heart of this but donāt dump on his gifts. Tell him you want to be made to feel special as a woman/partner, not just as a mom.

Be very open and honest with your feelings right now, even if to say, āI donāt like that you did XYZ (whatever) but I donāt understand why myself. It made me feel ABC.ā Or āI would have felt better if you had done DEF.ā And of course let him say the same things to you when necessary. This is good practice for when Baby comes. Itās sooooooo helpful to talk talk talk about everything so that youāre both on the same page. Itās very normal and common to start to feel distant from your spouse after Baby is born, but if you have been practicing being open and talking about things, it will be much easier to discuss how youāre both feeling and what each person needs.
Lol a push present thatās for the baby is super lame...just tell him exactly what you want!! āItās time to upgrade my engagement ringā is what I said. š
