Longest Thread EVER! (aka Random Thoughts Thread )

Can I just take a moment to do a happy dance of relief that my in laws have decided not to come down from Michigan for Christmas? It's not that they aren't totally pleasant people or anything, but I was getting so much anxiety over having to entertain!

God my boobs feel heavy. Good lord. Also, is anyone else experiencing dry skin so bad you're starting to wonder if you're part reptile? I lotion everyday and these legs. ..geez! And another thing. I feel like I can't breathe already! What's this gonna be like at 38-40 weeks?!

My skin is so dry that I'm getting red, painful knuckles.  Ow!

All my pre-baby under the belly button fat is getting pushed lower as my belly gets bigger and it jiggles uncomfortably when I laugh standing up. And makes me feel gross. Yay plus sized and pregnant!

...I should start a weight thread.

This is not a DH bashing post, but my goodness his brain has been somewhere else tonight! We had to run some errands and it was just one thing after another. I couldn't help but laugh.

Just realized I got hit for spam on this post. By a user who's done nothing else but spam me once. Not for my OP, but for the very first post on this thread. Whaaaaaaaa?

I don't like UO and FFFC posts. Maybe cuz I only bump (or lurk) at night before I go to bed and my brain is fried and mama no likey drama.

But I do love cake!!

I want to change my avatar, but it's been the same for my entire A14 career and changing it just seems wrong. FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS ON THE INTERNET.

I really hope DH gets a job soon- I'm so over having mine and it would be nice to start leave early. Maybe if I didn't have to deal with irresponsible staff who inform me they are taking the day off rather than requesting it or who just quit without notice I wouldn't be so pissed. And since I live in an "at will" state these irresponsible asshats still manage to win unemployment claims. And there's an insane communication problem between us and the school district we work with- though mostly it's us dealing with the fact that they can't seem to communicate internally. Which is why I get phone calls like I did today from a custodian who tried to tell me that I can't use the gym for our 8 day winter program. Ummm I have 65 kids a day coming. You'd better bet your sweet ass I'm using the gym. Especially since the DISTRICT was the ones who assigned us to that school. And so on and so on and so on. I just don't know how much longer I can stand to dance around with all of this BS.
As soon as I decide on a last day of work, I'm going to start a countdown. As of now I'm thinking march 15, but if DH finds employment soon I'll scale back sooner....

It is 2 am and I can't get my brain to slow down enough for me to fall asleep.  It's been a while since I've had this problem, and I hope this is just a fluke and not a return to sleeplessness for me.

BiggerinRealLife

@Pineconey my last day will be April 4th. I just decided. Don't know why that's all I have to respond to your post, ima blame tired and headache. I hope your DH gets a job soon.

I have been MIA due to family family stuff and miss these boards! I wish I had enough time to read all the random thoughts!

@lia619 you and your nose are very welcome

I'm so happy I listen to myself. Sometimes I get this crampy feeling in my upper left side, I'm guessing its my colon. I have now discovered that if I sit down and drink a bottle of water, it goes away. Makes me happy when I can fix something with water!!

TGIF!!!  Good morning ladies! Hot chocolate anyone? 

I think I did it I think I made a GIF,  now i just need to figure out how to make it smaller.

Ladies!  Does anyone have any experience shopping at the outlets in Buffalo, NY or Grove City Premium Outlets in Pennsylvania?  I'm driving down tomorrow to pick up some nursery furniture, and will be doing some maternity clothing shopping as well.  Any suggestions?  Even NBR is fine, kind of a fun shopping weekend.  Merci!

I've been to Grove City, its nice! Spread out, though. And dress warm, they have covered walkways but its a little elevated and the wind whips around badly. I like the Coach outlet and the American Eagle outlet they have there. They also have a Charlotte Russe, which doesn't help me much NOW, lol, but I like the shoes.. They have a Gap Factory store but I don't know if they have a maternity section, I wasnt KU last time I was there in the early spring. Oh, they have an Addidas store too, and usually they have a sale going on top of the outlet pricing. There is an Old Navy outlet there too, but again, no idea if they have maternity or not. Good luck, have fun!! I'm going to the Aurora Outlets later today, they are also a premium brand outlet, so if there's coupns I'll post back!

This is how you know you spend too much time on The Bump:

1) start referring to DH as DH in normal conversation or go to type DH on Facebook.

2) When signing onto Facebook from a PC you type www.thefacebook

3) you dream about bump people and in said dream you referr to them by their bump name. (This happened last night with @Aprilmay9 and @irisheyez7)

4 more hours till we see these stinkers! I can't wait to find out if they are boys, girls or both. Sorry I am not sorry about being obsessed with this.

Edit: corrected myself.

I was gone for one afternoon and missed 235 posts! You girls were busy yesterday. I finally for caught up since I tries last night but kept falling asleep. My a/s is in 3 hours! I didn't sleep very well in anticipation

michaelad3

I hate when I'm not paying attention to what I've written on my phone and I end up writing things like tries instead of tried. Oh well, if I sound like an idiot, at least I know you ladies are smart enough to figure out what I'm saying.
On another note, my right hip has been hurting for the last few days and it's really no fun. Then super helpful people feel the need to tell me it will only get worse from here. While that may be true, it's not helpful! Just commiserate with me for 2 minutes and say sorry you're in pain!

Edit: typos! I suck at mobile typing!

@dani+California Welcome! We will gladly take you.

Ice cream is acceptable at 11am when your sugar is low right? Because it's happening right now.

Kiahsimpson

I got to the dr a little early, so I'm still in the waiting room. Trying to put myself in a good mood, best I can. I'm looking through my phone and found these pictures of my little man. His first bath. He just stared at me the whole time like "help me. Save me". Then cuddled and wouldn't leave my side after he was done. I love my fur babies so much!

PS - his big ears kill me. So adorable! We call him airplane. (:
