Sorry this is later than I intended!

Have an attention whorey, special snowflakey or just random thoughts that popped into your head you've been meaning to share? Been pondering the meaning of life's mysteries and want to share your findings?

Here's your chance! Don't worry, if you miss out there will be a new thread for you to get your salty hoe-ness on Tuesday!

I'm going to AW it up and brag that I get to go out to lunch today (paid!) and it'll be delicious Chinese food and I'm so freaking excited to gorge myself on egg rolls, nom nom! 

jshrop

katekat8721

@jshrop - I would totally share if I could!

@kaceymarie - if you buy lots of cute stuff post pics so I can live vicariously through you!

@joules235 - you are so cute!! I also love the pic of you and hubby jumping from the bridge. Lovely!

I had the world's largest piece of chocolate cake for dessert with lunch today and I'm not even sorry.

Someone remind me of this when I fail my glucose text next week.

I have the same shirt!

I'm having a pitty party and I really just want to cry today!!!

My aw/ss today...
I'm just plain awesome.

I am thinking I should make some chocolate chip cookie bars I'm just not sure how to get off the couch

At my doctor appointment the dr said my uterus is measuring 26weeks instead of 23. I wonder if that means this little guy is going to be a big baby

I have a lot of laundry to fold. It's all been washed and dried. Do you think if I just throw it back in the wash anyone would notice?

How long until it's warm outside?

I wish I knew how to figure skate. That looks fun.

I just got a call from my ob that I have to go back and have another ultrasound. I guess the tech didn't get good enough pictures for some things. It makes me a little nervous though. They would tell me if it was something bad, right?

Mztwilson

@ohyealovely I'm sure if they had spotted an issue they would've told you. Good luck!

I am a rage machine today. The cold makes me so angry. Our garage door keeps freezing shut and I hate knowing that every time it leave the house I have to manually pull it up and put it down. Our house was built 10 years ago for crying out loud? What the hell? I think I need some of my cookie dough Oreos and a nap so I can chill the f out.

@wareagle1220 my favorite are the lemonades! Yummmmmmmmmmmm

Mztwilson

@wareagle your making me want Girl Scout cookies now!

Oh no! Cry your face off, I promise it helps!

What is all this talk about Shamrock Shakes and Girl Scout cookies? I have never had either!

I secretly hate those little girls who have their tables set up in front of the grocery stores. "Would you like to buy some Girl Scout cookies?" "No, I don't, you little brats! I came here for Pringles and Cheez-Its so get out of my way!"

jshrop

I just ate a bagel, some pickles, and an ice cream sandwich for lunch (all while still wearing my pajamas). I've officially become a cliche.

Tomorrow is my sons 5th birthday party. It's his first "friend party" which is so cute but makes me sad that he's getting bigger.

I was lurking on feb 14 and they had the idea to post the thread title like "baby Jane/Joe is here (mrsdbc)" so you knew who had their baby so we dont end up with 500 "he's/she's here" threads. Thoughts?

I was hoping we could have an announcment thread each day like we did with the a/s thread every day for people to announce how their a/s went and what the baby's sex is.  So people could announce their baby's birth and all their stats and name and such and post a pic if they want, but it would be all in one thread for each day.

I might be in the minority here, but I suppose I think that everyone deserve their moment in the sun to share their birth story. I don't think individual threads for births are all that bad considering that's the end result of why we joined this board. Isn't that what F14 is doing?

I got nothing for me.  Today it's all about you ladies.  I'm sending some extra prayers out to each and every one of you.  I know there are quite a few ladies struggling right now with their babies and even for the ladies who have a perfectly healthy pregnancy, you are all in my thoughts and prayers today.  Keep your babies cooking ladies...we still have a ways to go!

And more prayers and hugs for those of you mommies who now have little angels watching over them.  I am praying that each day gets just a little easier for all of you and that you are able to conceive again very soon.

Hugs for everyone!

ETA: To include all the mommies, including those with angels.

If I wasn't a crazy hoarder of my Girl Scout cookies, I would send you a box just so you could experience the glory that is a Samoa/Caramel Delight!

@letsgobowlingx Polls? I love polls!

I agree with l@lilnunz1 the birth of baby should be your own special thread. You know there will be driveby posted and it's not really fair that they get to post the birth of their baby in an aw/as post but regulars don't because they know how the board works. The birth of June babies is an aw/ss moment lol. I think that should be the one exception.

It is, everyone is posting their own thread with as much detail as they want. Some arw just a few paragraphs and a pic and some are novel's.

Ok cool. The name in parenthesis will help on mobile since you can't see the OP's name. Awesome idea.

I am just going to cry today because i am stressed. Work mainly. So.... I am going to do that and just TGIF. I am going to ugly cry, too. Get it all out.


Eta: words are hard and I'll cry about that, too.

SS rant: stupid Girl Scout cookies. Why can't I get the ones I really want?? Why can't we have the option to special order those ones? I could give two shits about basically 3 types of short bread cookie options we have here. I want this new one with chocolate chips you've promoted. Oh new flavor. Then oh wait not in your area. No Berry Munch or Dulce de Leche ones here either. Suck it Girl Scouts!

This may just be me, but you know when you have a list longer than your arm and you can't wait to tackle it. Then, you do and it is done so well you get the compliment from your boss? That is where I am. 

Also, even though my dr is concerned because I keep losing weight (even though I swear I'm eating) and there is some urinary tract problem with the baby, common during pregnancies, I feel great and baby is moving constantly though I only feel the arms moving at the moment.

I thoroughly enjoy watching people put events into calendar and invite me as FYI for a time that I know I will no longer be here.  It's weird, but it makes me happy to think, "Oh, I don't have to worry about you going on vacation then, I won't be here to have to do your work."  It's incredibly freeing

PinkKEL9

I am so so sick of the cold and snow. I can't wait for spring!!

@katekat8721 I am super jealous of you right now. I have been craving good chinese food for this entire pregnancy and have yet to find a place around us that isn't greasy or nasty. I could eat an entire platter of General Tso chicken and fried rice. Mmmmmm....

On average how many birth stories do you think we'll have to scroll through on a daily basis  come June?! Just curious. 

@letsgobowlingx - here is the link to the due dates of the regs.  Add at least another 50 and then divide by 30 days in June.  That will give us an approximate.    I'm too lazy to count and do the math.

We are going to visit my dad this weekend and I am so not looking forward to driving 4 hours after getting off of work at 5 tonight. But, he will have the most delicious steak (he raises organic grassfed beef) and a baked potato the size of my face waiting for me tonight, and I have already planned breakfast, lunch, and dinners at all my favorite places for the next 3 days, most of which are Mexican places. I am going to gain 10 pounds and I can't f-ing wait. I will miss hitting up my favorite little bar and brewery, but I will eat all the food to make up for it.

bebemac

@kellyjayne Sounds like you will have a fabulous time! Use that four hour driving time to rest up and gather energy to eat your face off!

I just found out it is a long weekend here!! My student mentioned it and I didn't believe him. I thought it was next weekend. I looked it up and was like, you're right!! An awesome surprise.

Oh man... this got me SO EXCITED for about 10 seconds. But, Ontario's family day isn't until NEXT weekend. Poo.

IIRC, I think you have to use the contact form in the blog to send off your deets to get added. There should be instructions at the top of the page.
